Chapter 438 Ground Rent

It turned out that although there were many benefits to being the patriarch of the Ouyang family, and although Ouyang Changxun's saying 'the vicissitudes of the sea show his true colors as a hero!' was also reasonable, he still felt that this still couldn't match the responsibilities he needed to bear as the patriarch.

However, now with the addition of these twenty-five ancient magic array flags, each of which was a priceless treasure, and these array flags could also form a complete set of 'Six Illusory Illusion Arrays' with the other forty-seven array flags on his body, this bargaining chip was really very weighty, so the balance in his heart completely tilted to the side of 'serving as the patriarch'.

He took the twenty-five Ancient Law Array Flags, stroked them lightly for a moment, and replied in a deep voice: "Okay! Since you can trust me, big brother, then I, Ouyang Changfeng, am now the patriarch of my Ouyang family in White Camel Mountain!"

Seeing that Liang Feng agreed to serve as the patriarch, Ouyang Changxun's eyes were full of joy and relief, and he smiled: "Okay! great...... Although I have not carried forward the family in my life, I have finally allowed the family to continue to live, and now I have found a good patriarch for the family. I, Ouyang Changxun, can rest assured to go to see the ancestors and ancestors now......"

As he spoke, he coughed violently, his eyes closed slightly, and a flush appeared on his pale face.

Seeing that Ouyang Changxun seemed to be about to lose his breath, Ouyang Lanlan threw herself on the head of the bed and held Ouyang Changxun's arm, and shouted with tears in her eyes: "Big brother, big brother......! You ......"

Ouyang Changxun opened his eyes again, smiled at Ouyang Lanlan and said, "Lanlan, take ...... In the future, you will listen to your seventh brother. Your seventh brother is ...... He has high aspirations, even that ...... The 'Ninety-Nine to One Dan' didn't snatch it, and it could be given to the eldest brother and me, so he wouldn't covet these meager assets of my Ouyang family at all, you and Pinghao and them, you should trust and support the elder with all your heart...... Long Blade Him!"

"Yes!" Ouyang Lanlan responded with a sad voice and asked again, "Is there anything else?"

Ouyang Changxun paused for a long time, and then said, "Call ...... Tell the thirteenth brother Changjian, as well as Pingsheng, Pinghao, Pingxi, etc. to come in. ...... Only...... It was here that the patriarch succession ceremony was held. ”

So, Ouyang Lanlan walked to the door and shouted, and a group of people rushed in from outside the door.

Ouyang Changxun's eyes rolled slightly, and said: "The ancestors and ancestors are above, although Ouyang Changxun, a descendant of Xiao, tried his best, he still failed to carry forward my Ouyang family. ......。 The current world is uneven, and for the sake of the family's continuous prosperity, the patriarch will be passed on to Ouyang Changfeng, the cousin of the seventh room...... It's all simple!"

As he spoke, he motioned to Ouyang Lanlan to hand Liang Feng a golden token representing the authority of the patriarch, and raised his hand with difficulty, pointing at the elite children of the Ouyang family and saying, "From ...... From now on, Changfeng will be your patriarch, and you ...... You guys...... While...... When ......"

As he spoke, his arm suddenly drooped, and his eyes instantly lost their luster.

"Big brother/father/uncle......" The room suddenly burst into mourning.

Liang Feng held the golden token, his hand was heavy, and his heart was also heavy, and he said secretly: "Alas, is it right or wrong to serve as the patriarch of the Ouyang family? For the sake of twenty-five ancient magic array flags, is it worth it to protect the safety of such a big family?...... Now that Ouyang Changxun has fallen, he can't regret it if he wants to. ...... Forget it, anyway, it's only about fifty years, and during this period, just do things with your own heart and try your best to protect the interests of the Ouyang family. ”

Having made a decision in his heart, he put away the golden token and began to arrange Ouyang Changxun's funeral.

Twenty-one days later, that is, the day of the funeral of Ouyang Changxun.

Liang Feng summoned Ouyang Lanlan, Ouyang Changjian, Ouyang Pingsheng, Ouyang Pinghao, Ouyang Pingxi and several other core disciples of the Ouyang family in the lobby.

After sitting down, Ouyang Lanlan asked, "Seventh brother, what do you command?"

Liang Feng said: "Thirteenth brother, you can talk about it." ”

The 'thirteenth brother' is Ouyang Changjian, he has the cultivation of the eight grades of Taoism, he looks a little similar to Ouyang Changxun, and is currently the deacon of the Dharma Training Hall. He is now the second-ranked cultivator in the Ouyang family, only slightly inferior to Ouyang Lanlan.

Ouyang Changjian stood up and said, "Seventh brother, Sister Lan Lan, here's the thing, a few days ago, Elder Yang from Yitang City came to our 'Ouyang's Instrument Shop' in Jiudao City, saying that our Instrument Shop owed fifty years of shop rent and had not paid it. We are limited to pay off the ground rent of a total of 1.2 billion high-grade spirit stones within three days. ”

Ouyang Lanlan's face changed when she heard this, and she said, "What, Elder Yang asked us to pay fifty years of land rent?...... As soon as he saw that the eldest brother had fallen and my Ouyang family was weak, he immediately bullied him!"

After a pause, she said to Liang Feng again: "Big brother, we will never pay that land rent! We have been open for decades and have never paid any land rent, so why did it pop up now?"

"Elder Yang said, it turns out that because our eldest brother is the fourth elder of the torture hall, according to the rules of the door, the shop is free of land rent. Right now...... , Elder Yang said that if you don't pay the land rent, it's okay, that is, the shop has to be returned to the city Yitang. Ouyang Changjian said.

Liang Feng asked, "Have any other families ever encountered this kind of thing before? Do they pay back the land rent or return the shop to Shiyitang?"

Ouyang Lanlan responded: "I haven't heard of any one paying the land rent before. That Elder Yang of the Jindan Sanpin just saw that our Ouyang family was bullying now, and wanted to knock out a stroke from us. ”

He said in a loud voice: "Seventh brother, we must not pay this land rent! As long as we pay this land rent, the other families will definitely surround us and share the interests of our family when they see that we are so weak and deceitful!"

Ouyang Changjian said: "That...... Sister Lan Lan, I went to Jingshuge and Shiyitang respectively to check the information, before, there was a similar situation, a few of them also paid the rent, but not 50 years of rent, but 20 or 30 years. ”

Ouyang Pinghao continued: "Yes. The same is true of the rules in my mountain courtyard, if a certain incense owner falls or leaves office, then the incense owner's shop has to pay back the land rent, but usually it is only for 20 years. ”

Ouyang Pinghao is the eldest son of Ouyang Changxun, who has the cultivation of the seventh grade of the Dao, and is currently the third-ranked monk in the Ouyang family. And he is also the head of a third-class lower courtyard of Jiudaomen, and the only head of the Ouyang family.

"Seventh brother, just listen to me, that Elder Yang is not a thing, as soon as he opens his mouth, he will ask our family to pay fifty years of land rent. Ouyang Lanlan said.

Liang Feng thought for a moment in his heart and asked, "Thirteenth brother, do you think we should pay this land rent?" Pingsheng, Pinghao, Pingxi, Pingyong, what do you think?"

Ouyang Pingsheng and Ouyang Pingxi are Ouyang Changxun's nephews, both of whom have cultivated the six grades of Taoism, and they are currently the incense masters of a second-class lower courtyard. Ouyang Pingyong and Ouyang Pinghao are brothers, and they are also the sons of Ouyang Changxun.
