Chapter 117: The Little Taoist Priest Who Hunts Ghosts in the Late Night

"The four elders are right, please brainstorm your wisdom. Xiao Yan followed suit.

Seeing that Xiao Yan's expression was calm and unwavering, and he was not angry at all, Xiao Yan secretly gave a thumbs up.

This kid's cultivation skills are really good, if he were replaced by another person, I am afraid that he would have been angry a long time ago, even if he took care of the overall situation, his face would definitely be unpleasant, but there was no dissatisfaction on Xiao Yan's face.

"Fourth Elder, I think this is the ancestor blaming our ancestral hall for being too slow to cultivate. Xiao Dingtao took the lead, "Now that the head of the family has entrusted me with the important task of repairing the ancestral hall, I will go all out to construct the construction as soon as possible to ensure that the ancestral hall will be renovated as soon as possible to satisfy the ancestors." ”

Xiao Chaogui smiled and admired his grandson very much.

Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Dingtao, did not say anything, looked at the others, and said in a deep voice: "What else do you think?"

Xiao Dingyuan coughed lightly and said: "I think that when the ancestor said that he wanted to go home, he was going back to his former real hometown, not his current noisy new home." ”

"Xiao Dingyuan, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Dingtao glared at him dissatisfied.

"The tradition of Great Xia is that the leaves fall back to their roots, where our Xiao family came from, we all know it, so you should understand what I mean. Xiao Dingyuan replied lightly.

"Do you mean to move the ancestral hall to Xiaojiafeng in Yanshan?" Xiao Dingtao was shocked and angry, if that was the case, rebuilding the ancestral hall would become a thankless task.

Because according to the practice of the Xiao family, the branch responsible for repairing the ancestral hall will most likely guard the ancestral hall. Staying away from Tiandu is equivalent to staying away from the power center of the Xiao family, and it is gradually marginalized, how will it be mixed in the future?

Remember http://m for a second.

This must not be promised, and seeing Xiao Chaogui's face become ugly, he understands more and more what to do next.

Now it is the little characters who are fighting, Xiao Chaogui and Xiao Chaoli, these old people are watching coldly, and it is not yet time for them to make a move.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Xiao Yan ignored Xiao Dingtao's questioning and continued to ask others.

Xiao Dingfeng stood up and said: "Four elders, elders, I think we should keep pace with the times, now that the Xiao family has settled in Tiandu, the ancestral hall was also in Tiandu before, it is inappropriate to move back to the ancestral land, and it is also very inconvenient to worship in the future, I suggest that it is more appropriate to repair it on the original site, it can be repaired a little more atmospheric, and the ancestors will definitely understand." ”

"Yes, my brother is right!" Xiao Dingtao immediately followed, "I think this is what the ancestor meant!"

Obviously, Xiao Chaogui's face looked a little better.

The others remained silent, and two factions of opinion were formed on the matter of the ancestors' dreams, Xiao Dingyuan insisted on moving the ancestral hall back to Xiaojiafeng in Yanshan, and Xiao Dingtao insisted on better repairing it at the original site, and then it depends on the support rate of both sides, according to the tradition of the Xiao family, it is to vote.

Xiao Yan looked around and said lightly: "Since there are completely different opinions, then vote, I think everyone has no opinions, right?"

"Family Master, what about you?" Before everyone could make a statement, Xiao Yan finally looked at Xiao Yan.

"The suggestion of the four elders is reasonable, and I agree. Xiao Yan smiled slightly.

"I'm against it!" Xiao Chaogui Huo Ran stood up, his old face was a little distorted because of excitement, "Fourth Elder, the head of the family, since the matter of rebuilding the ancestral hall has been handed over to Xiao Dingtao to be responsible, it should be decided by Xiao Dingtao, and others can no longer interfere, what is it to come here now? People don't stand without faith, don't you say?"

Xiao Yan's face sank: "Uncle Chaogui, do you not take the old ancestor in your eyes?" or do you think you can represent the old ancestor?"

These words are quite heavy, and only Xiao Yan dares to say it, and the others feel numb just by hearing it, and their hearts are raised.

"Fourth Elder, you are in a high position and have strong abilities, but that is for Great Xia, and now it is a family matter of the Xiao family, so I, a bad old man, still have some right to speak. Xiao Chaogui gritted his teeth in shame.

"So, I also have the right to speak, don't I?" Xiao Yan didn't give an inch.

Although Xiao Yan can't figure out Xiao Yan's true attitude, for now, he obviously supports the relocation of the ancestral hall, so he is in the same camp as him.

Xiao Yan further said: "The Xiao family has always been fair, is there a problem when it comes to voting on controversial matters?"

He said it to Xiao Chaogui, but his eyes scanned the audience sharply, and the powerful momentum forced all the Xiao family members to avoid his aggressive eyes.

"I support!" Xiao Chaoli finally spoke.

When he opened his mouth, it was as if he had opened the river embankment, and the other elders also followed up to express their support, and in an instant, more than half of the Xiao family stood on their side.

Xiao Chaogui's side was dwarfed, with less than a quarter of the people supporting, and he was obviously at a disadvantage.

"I support Uncle Dingtao. Xiao Yi almost made a final statement, but if Xiao Yan supported him, he would oppose it, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Xiao Chaogui stared at a few elders who were against him, the threat in his eyes was undisguised, these guys were usually very cowardly in front of him, and now they actually dared to dismantle his platform, it was simply unreasonable!

But he couldn't question them in public, so he could only force them to change their minds with a cruel look.

But what made him depressed was that several old guys seemed to know what he was thinking, and they lowered their eyebrows one by one, but they didn't look at him, which made him both angry and helpless.

"I still say the same thing, I resolutely disagree with the relocation of the ancestral hall!" Xiao Chaogui had no choice but to release cruel words, "If you want to move, move from my corpse, I will live and die with the ancestral hall!"

"Uncle Chao, please give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I think you are making trouble. Xiao Yan said coldly.

Xiao Chaogui ignored him, glared at Xiao Yan and said: "Xiao Yan, you are the head of the family, now please give me an explanation, why do you do this kind of thing, I suspect that the ancestor made up the dream by you, and you are looking for an excuse to trick me, I tell you clearly, if you insist on going your own way, don't want to get my approval!"

Xiao Yan frowned: "Elder Chaoguitai, although I didn't propose the idea of relocation, I also want to know, why do you insist on refusing to move?"

It's-

Xiao Chaogui was speechless by a sentence, because the reason why he could say it Xiao Dingtao had already said it, it was nothing more than that the ancestral hall was already here, and it would be convenient to worship the ancestors in the future, etc., but for the Xiao family, convenience and inconvenience were not a problem, the mountain road was not easy to walk, and it was not fragrant to go by helicopter? So these are not too convincing.

And his true intentions can't be said, can he say that he wants to use the restoration of the ancestral hall to gain more power and get more benefits? These are all things under the table, and if you take them out, not only can they not be used as a reason, but they will also make you more passive, so they must not be exposed.

Seeing Xiao Yan's innocent look, Xiao Chaogui was extremely depressed, he really didn't expect it to be Xiao Yan's idea, he just thought that Xiao Chaoli and others were behind it.
