......

After settling Huang Lang and the three of them, Ou Haopeng took Ou Chuyang to the council hall of the Ou family.

The elder hall of the Ou family, located at the back of the tip of Xiaodang Mountain, needs to follow a long road, run past countless houses, and then pass by the welcoming hall to arrive. For this kind of layout, Ou Chuyang is clear. After all, every powerful force has at least two important places: one is the main hall for welcoming the outside world, and the other is naturally a special place for the internal affairs of the special forces. There must be one after the other between the two, and the human heart is like this, and it is impossible for anyone to put their secrets in the open.

Along the way, Ou Chuyang saw a lot of busy family children, and when Ou Chuyang passed by, he would interrupt the work that the former was busy with, like a frightened bird, and cast vigilant and wary eyes at him.

Feeling the hostile gaze and pointing, it was not difficult for Ou Chuyang to think that these family members might have shown such expressions because of the surprise attack a year ago. What's more, Ou Chuyang believed that he had just broken into the mountain so strongly and defeated dozens of family members, and this rumor must have spread before the departure of nearly forty people. Therefore, when Ou Chuyang passed by, the eyes of the children of these families did not seem friendly.

"Once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years. The ancients didn't deceive me!" Ou Chuyang sighed secretly.

Ignoring the almost murderous gaze, Ou Chuyang finally came to the Hall of Elders behind the Welcome Hall. Looking at the two-story single-story building lacking bricks and tiles, Ou Chuyang's heart moved. Obviously, in the surprise attack a year ago, that unknown force had already hit the Ou family's most secret elder hall. With such strength, Ou Chuyang knows that on the mainland, this force will never be nameless, but so far, the other party is still in the shadows and has not shown any signs.

Perhaps seeing what Ou Chuyang was thinking, Ou Haopeng said abruptly: "Don't look at it, this is still renovated, if you came back a year ago, the situation would be worse than now." ”

Ou Chuyang turned his head, looked at Ou Haopeng and asked, "Don't you know who did it?"

Ou Haopeng smiled sadly and shook his head: "Naturally no one knows about what even the "gray magpie" can't find out. ”

Hearing this, Ou Chuyang frowned. The former has never doubted the ability of the "Gray Magpie", thinking that at the beginning, in the small branch of Qipan Town, he had seen the information he had in it recorded in several large bookshelves, and that kind of ability to collect information would never be available to ordinary forces. But even so, it is still impossible to find out who can surprise the eight families overnight. Obviously, this force is very strong.

Seeing that Ou Chuyang was thoughtful, Ou Haopeng coughed lightly and said, "Don't think about it, the matter is still being investigated, let's go first, shall we?" ??? U8?? ８ＸＳ`ＣＯＭ”

Ou Chuyang nodded, put aside the doubts in his heart for a while, and immediately followed Ou Haopeng inside.

When you go up to the second floor and enter the main hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the dazzling lights. Walking in, suddenly, a coercion of Ou Ming swept in, firmly enveloping Ou Chuyang.

Feeling this incomparably heavy pressure, Ou Chuyang did not feel half afraid, but walked to the center of the main hall with a calm demeanor, and at this time, he saw the situation in the Council Hall of Elders clearly.

The circular council hall is about 200 square meters, surrounded by several chairs. If this huge council hall is divided into two semicircles, the first semicircle is an elderly man, this old man, Ou Chuyang is no stranger, because he was also present when he was fighting with the medicine forest master and apprentice in the imperial capital. He is the person in charge of the Ou family in Xiaodang Mountain at present: Ou Cheng, the head of the family.

On the left and right sides of Ou Cheng, there are two old men sitting respectively, but the old man on the right is not very old, and he looks like he is fifty years old. The reason why Ou Chuyang pays special attention to this person is that this person is extremely similar to Ou Haopeng, as if a mold is carved out, if it weren't for the years leaving a little imprint on his face, it would be really difficult for Ou Chuyang to tell the difference between this person and Ou Haopeng.

The back half of the rotunda is divided into two parts, with three people on each side on the left and right, and at the end of the right side, Ou Chuyang also saw Ou Yuqing. Compared with Ou Cheng's five, these six people seem much younger, among them, the oldest is only about thirty, and the youngest is in his twenties.

There is no need to think about it, Ou Cheng and the few people on his left and right must be extremely important figures in the Ou family, and the person sitting with Ou Yuqing must be the core of the younger generation in the family.

More than a dozen people sat around, leaving an extremely spacious area in the middle of the entire council hall, and Ou Chuyang happened to be standing in the middle with Ou Haopeng.

Entering the house, Ou Haopeng first saluted Ou Cheng, and then said to Ou Chuyang: "Ran'er, let me introduce you, the middle is your fourth grandfather, who is also our family master." And the two on the left, one is your second grandfather and the other is your third grandfather. ”

After speaking, Ou Haopeng looked to the right again, pointed to the older old man and said: "This is the third elder of the elder hall in the family, although he is not surnamed Ou, but he has been in the Ou family for many years, so you should also treat him as your grandfather, so this..."

As he spoke, Ou Haopeng pointed to the younger old man and said, "This is your uncle." He is also the fourth elder of the family. ”

Turning his gaze to the ten people behind him, Ou Haopeng finally said: "They are all your brothers and sisters, let's introduce them to you later." ”

It should be mentioned here that in addition to Ou Cheng, the head of the family, the Ou family has four people in the Hall of Elders, namely the eldest elder and the second elder of the same generation as Ou Cheng, these two people are the second grandfather introduced by Ou Haopeng to Ou Chuyang before: Ou Han and the third grandfather: Ou Xian. ??? U8??? As for the three elders, this person's surname is Li, his name is Zhongtian, and he is an orphan picked up by the previous head of the Ou family, because Li Zhongtian is a more diligent person, and his talent in martial arts is extremely good, and he reached the level of martial arts at the age of seventy, so he made an exception and was promoted to the third elder by the family. As for Ou Haofei, he is Ou Cheng's son, and his strength is also extremely strong, so he can naturally become the eldest man's candidate.

After listening to Ou Haopeng's introduction to these people, Ou Chuyang silently memorized the names of the people sitting in front of him, but he just nodded and did not salute a few people. It is true that because he was expelled from his family since he was a child, Ou Chuyang did not have a good impression of this Ou family at all, if it weren't for the safety of Ou Haopeng and Ou Qing this time, he might not even be willing to return to the Ou family.

The Great Spirit Penetration Technique was released, and almost in a moment, Ou Chuyang had a thorough understanding of the bottom of all the elders present. Ou Cheng, who is sitting in the first place, has the strength of the peak Martial Zun, and the remaining four, Ou Han is the strongest, which is the fourth-level Martial Zun, followed by the second elders Ou Xian and Li Zhongtian, who have the strength of the second-level Martial Zun, but Ou Haofei is a little lower, only the strength of the first-level Martial Zun.

Despite this, Ou Chuyang was also greatly surprised, he didn't expect that a small small swing mountain would have so many strong people. This force, coupled with Ou Qing and another hidden martial arts powerhouse, how could they be at the bottom of the eight major families. In this way, what kind of strength do the rest of the eight families have?

In fact, Ou Chuyang thought too strongly of the other eight families. The reason why the Ou family of Xiaodangshan is at the bottom of the eight major families is because of its history, which is not as strong and long-lasting as the other seven, on the other hand, in the eyes of the people of the mainland, Xiaodangshan has always been the strongest, only Ou Tianxing, and the remaining seven, which one is not strong and has a long history.

Moreover, Ou Qing has only returned to the family in recent years, if it weren't for that, the Ou family might not even have a martial madness at present, how could this kind of strength not be at the bottom. Let's just say that the destroyed Gongsun and Tao families, before Ou Qing didn't come back, there was at least one martial madman supporting the scene, on the other hand, the Ou family...

It's just that the reason why Gongsun and the Tao family were destroyed, and Xiaodangshan was fine, was that Ou Qing's sudden return made the unknown force miss it, and the sudden appearance of the martial arts powerhouse was no longer within the scope of the investigation of that force, plus the Ou family has always claimed that the Ou family has three martial honors, but in fact, the three martial arts of the Ou family are just the name of the three sons of the Ou family by the outside world, and as for the three elders hidden by the Ou family, many people don't know.

Just as Ou Chuyang was looking at everyone. Ou Xian, the second elder on the left, suddenly scolded loudly: "Brute, just went home, he was unscrupulous, disrespectful to his elders, and he didn't say anything about going to the mountain without being informed, and now when he sees the head of the family and the elders, he actually doesn't kneel and salute, and you don't have the Ou family in your eyes?"

Hearing this loud shout, Ou Chuyang was stunned unexpectedly.

"Well, I haven't spoken yet, you're going to scold people first? What do you mean?

The second elder Ou Xian's slightly angry shouts echoed in the council hall, which was extremely harsh. But when he heard Ou Chuyang's ears, he couldn't help but arouse the anger in his heart.

"What do you mean?" Ou Chuyang thought disdainfully.

With his hands behind his back, Ou Chuyang straightened his body and looked directly at Ou Xian, without half a bit of fear in his eyes.

"Second Elder, right? I don't understand what you mean? What does it mean to be unscrupulous? What does it mean to be disrespectful? Can you explain it to me? Hearing the old man reprimand himself, Ou Chuyang did not show the anger in his heart, but asked with a disdainful face.

"Hmph!" Ou Xian snorted coldly: "Without notification, you broke into the mountain without permission and injured dozens of family members, you are unscrupulous." When you see Li and Lan, the two seniors, not only are you not polite, but you also add your fists and feet, you are disrespectful. Am I wrong?"

"Haha~" Ou Chuyang laughed when he heard this, and the laughter was full of insolence, which made everyone present laugh for a moment.

"What's wrong with me breaking into the mountain? You can ask the children of the family guarding the door, when I signed up to go up the mountain, did they mean to make a report? Besides, when Li and Lan saw me, they shot indiscriminately, if I didn't have some ability, I'm afraid I would have died in their hands. Now that you know that you have taught me a lesson, where were you just now?"

With a sarcastic rebuttal, he came out from Ou Chuyang's mouth, and what he said was righteous. The two elders Ou Xian's angry eyes widened, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

In fact, even Ou Chuyang didn't realize that what he just said, if he had been placed before, he would not have said it casually, after all, the people sitting above were all elders in the family, even if he didn't have half of his feelings for the family, but if he had to take into account Ou Haopeng's feelings, he wouldn't say it so easily.

It's just that what Ou Chuyang didn't know was that because of guarding the Great Array underground for three years, especially after comprehending the word "break" on the Brahma formula, Ou Chuyang's temperament began to undergo a subtle change, and this change had already appeared when he broke through the ground and fought with Pei Quan. How can I bear it, Ou Chuyang has been in a state of worrying about Ou Haopeng and Ou Qing after that, so that he didn't realize that he had changed, became arrogant, became fearless, became... It's hard to fathom.

At this time, before the second elder could speak, among the young generation behind Ou Chuyang, a young man who was extremely obese patted the armrest of the seat, but stood up and said loudly: "Ou Chuyang, how dare you talk to the elder like this without respect for the elder?"

Turning his head slightly, Ou Chuyang looked at the fat-headed and big-eared young man, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

"My name is Ouxiong. The obese youth replied.

"Ou Xiong?" Ou Chuyang sneered: "I think you might as well be called Ou Zhu." The second elder of the family is talking to me, you are interjecting here, and you still say that I have no respect for the elder, close your mouth, and sit down quickly. ”

"You..." was insulted by Ou Chuyang, and Ou Xiong was about to scold, but at this time, Li Zhongtian spoke up.

"Ouxiong, shut up and sit down. ”

Hearing Li Zhongtian's words, Ou Xiong immediately closed his mouth and sat down, but his round and chubby face was puffed up by Ou Chuyang, and he kept panting with anger.

Ou Chuyang didn't know that this Ou Xiong was a disciple of Li Zhongtian and Ou Xian, among the younger generation of the family, if Ou Yuqing didn't come back, his strength would be the strongest, and at the age of twenty-six, he had already reached the realm of a seventh-level martial artist, so he was favored by the two elders, and then taught his own mastery.

Just now, Ou Chuyang refuted Ou Xian, as his disciple, Ou Xiong naturally wouldn't see the former being rude to his master, so he opened his mouth to angrily reprimand Ou Chuyang. Then, on such an occasion, without the permission of the elders, it was not appropriate to speak privately, so Li Zhongtian opened his mouth to stop.

Seeing Ou Xiong sit down, Li Zhongtian frowned and said: "Ou Chuyang, no matter whether the children of the family stopped you just now, but you can't go into the mountain without permission, what you do violates the rules of the family, if you are like you, how can the family still manage, Ou Chuyang, give you a chance, don't apologize to the head of the family quickly." ”

"Day, you are an old bastard, and you are not surnamed Ou, how dare you take care of me?" Hearing Li Zhongtian's reprimand, Ou Chuyang couldn't help but be angry, and was about to refute it out loud, but at this time, Ou Haopeng secretly dragged him.

The dirty mouth that had been prepared did not spit out, Ou Chuyang looked at Ou Haopeng, and saw that the latter kept making eyes at him, Ou Chuyang immediately swallowed that anger. Xin said: "Damn, for the sake of my father, I will put up with you today." ”

Seeing that Ou Chuyang didn't speak, Ou Cheng, who was the head of the family, also said in a timely manner: "Okay." Ou Chuyang and the disciples of Shoushan are both at fault, it is useless to argue, and today is not the time to discuss this matter. Ou Chuyang, you sit down first, and then study your business after we finish talking about business. ”

Hearing this, Ou Chuyang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and saw that there was only one place on the right side of the gate, so he walked over and sat down.

Seeing that everyone had closed their mouths, Ou Cheng said in a deep voice: "Just now, we only started a little, everyone still doesn't know much about the beginning and end of this matter, and Ou Chuyang has just come back, and I didn't hear the front, Haofei, you tell everyone again from the beginning." Then, let's talk about the selection of candidates. ”

Ou Haofei on the right heard Ou Cheng call him, nodded slightly, and then glanced at Ou Chuyang thoughtfully, and then spoke.
