Chapter 495 Eight Great Families
...
After settling Huang Lang and the other two, Ou Haopeng took Ou Chuyang to the Ou family's parliamentary hall.
The Ou family's Elder Hall is located behind the tip of Xiaodang Mountain. It needs to follow a long corridor to pass through countless houses and pass by the Welcoming Hall before you can reach it. Ou Chuyang knows this layout. After all, every powerful force has at least two important places: one is the Welcoming Hall for external guests; and the other is naturally the special place for special forces to discuss secret matters within. The two must be one in front and one behind. This is how people's hearts are, and no one can put their secrets in public.
Along the way, Ou Chuyang saw many busy family children. Whenever Ou Chuyang passed by, he would interrupt the busy work in his hands, like a frightened bird, and he looked at him with vigilance and guard against him.
Feeling the hostile gaze and finger pointing, it was not difficult for Ou Chuyang to think that these family members had just revealed such a look because of the surprise attack a year ago. What's more, Ou Chuyang believed that he had just entered the mountain so strongly and defeated dozens of family members. This news must have spread after the departure of nearly forty people before. Therefore, when Ou Chuyang passed by, the eyes of these family members did not seem friendly.
"Once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the ropes for ten years. The ancients really didn't bully me!" Ou Chuyang sighed secretly.
Ignoring the almost murderous gaze, Ou Chuyang finally arrived at the Elder Hall behind the Welcoming Hall. Looking at the two-story building with no bricks and tiles, Ou Chuyang was moved. Obviously, in the surprise attack a year ago, the unknown force had already attacked the Ou family's most confidential Elder Hall. Ou Chuyang knew that this force would never be in vain on the mainland, but so far, the other party was still in the dark and showed no signs.
Perhaps seeing what Ou Chuyang was thinking, Ou Haopeng said sadly: "Don't look at it, this has been 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 made it?"
Ou Haopeng smiled sadly and shook his head: "No one knows what even "Grey Magpie can't find out."
Upon hearing this, Ou Chuyang frowned. The former had never doubted the ability of the "gray magpies". Thinking about the information he had in the small branch of Qipan Town, he had seen the information he had recorded on several bookshelfs. Such a ability to collect information would never have. But even so, he still couldn't find out who could attack the Eight Major Clans overnight. Obviously, this force is very powerful.
Seeing that Ou Chuyang was thinking, Ou Haopeng coughed lightly and said, "Don't think about it, the matter is still being investigated. Let's go in first."
Ou Chuyang nodded, temporarily abandoned the doubts in his heart, and then followed Ou Haopeng into it.
When I went up to the second floor and entered the main hall, the first thing that caught my eye was the dazzling light. Walking in, a wave of Ou Ming's pressure swept over, tightly covering Ou Chuyang.
Feeling this extremely heavy pressure, Ou Chuyang was not afraid at all, but walked to the center of the main hall with a calm expression. Only then did he see clearly the situation in the Elder Hall-Convention Hall.
There is a circular parliamentary hall of about 200 square meters, with several seats placed around it. If the huge parliamentary hall is divided into two semicircles, the first half circle is the first one, which is an elderly man. Ou Chuyang is not unfamiliar with this old man, because he was also present when he was fighting with Master Yaolin in the imperial capital. He is the current head of the Ou family in Xiaodangshan: Ou Cheng, the head of the family.
There were two old men sitting on both sides of Ou Cheng, but one of the old men on the right was not very old, and he looked fifty years old. The reason why Ou Chuyang paid special attention to this person is that the person looked extremely similar to Ou Haopeng, just like a mold carved. If it weren't for the years leaving some marks on his face, Ou Chuyang would have really hard to tell the difference between this person and Ou Haopeng.
The second half of the circular hall is divided into two parts, with three people on both sides. At the last position on the right, Ou Chuyang also saw Ou Yuqing. Compared with Ou Cheng and the five people, these six people seemed much younger. Among them, the largest was only about thirty, and the youngest was only in their twenties.
Needless to think, Ou Cheng and the few people on both sides of him must be extremely important figures in the Ou family, and the person sitting with Ou Yuqing must be the core figures of the younger generation in the family.
A dozen people sat around made an extremely spacious area in the middle of the parliament hall, and Ou Chuyang happened to be standing in the middle of Ou Haopeng.
When he entered the house, Ou Haopeng first gave a bow to Ou Cheng, and then said to Ou Chuyang: "Ran'er, let me introduce you to you. The middle one is your fourth grandfather, who is also our head of the family. And the two on the left are your second grandfather and the other is your third grandfather."
After saying that, Ou Haopeng looked to the right again and pointed at the older man and said, "This is the third elder of the Elders in the family. Although he is not surnamed Ou, he has been in the Ou family for many years, so you should also treat him as your grandfather, for this person..."
As he said that, Ou Haopeng pointed to the younger man and said, "This is your uncle. He is also the fourth elder in the family."
Turning his eyes to the ten people behind, Ou Haopeng finally said: "They are all your brothers and sisters, so I'll introduce them to you later."
What we need to mention here is that in addition to Ou Cheng, the head of the family, the Elders Hall has four people, namely the eldest elder and the second elder of the same generation as Ou Cheng. These two are the second grandfathers who Ou Haopeng introduced to Ou Chuyang before: Ou Han and the third grandfather: Ou Xian. As for the third elder, this person's surname is Li and his name is Zhongtian, and he is an orphan picked up by the previous head of the Ou family. Because Li Zhongtian is relatively diligent and has excellent talent in martial arts cultivation, he reached the level of Martial Master at the age of 70, so he made an exception and was promoted to the third elder by the family. As for Ou Haofei, he was originally Ou Cheng's son, and his strength was extremely strong, so he could naturally become an elder.
After listening to Ou Haopeng's introduction to these people, Ou Chuyang silently remembered the names of the people sitting in front of him, but he just nodded and did not greet the few people. Indeed, since he was expelled from his family since he was a child, Ou Chuyang had no good feelings for the 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 the Ou family.
The Great Spiritual Puzzle Technique was released, and almost a moment later, Ou Chuyang touched the details of the elders present. Ou Cheng, who was sitting in the first place, had the strength of the peak martial master, and the remaining four people, Ou Han, was the strongest, and was the fourth-level martial master. Next were the second elders Ou Xian and Li Zhongtian, who had the strength of the second-level martial master, but Ou Haofei was a little lower, only the strength of the first-level martial master.
Despite this, Ou Chuyang was also very surprised. He did not expect that a small Xiaodangshan had so many powerful people. This force, together with Ou Qing and another hidden martial arts powerful man, would be at the bottom of the Eight Great Family? In this way, what kind of strength do the other Eight Great Family have?
In fact, Ou Chuyang thought too strongly about the other eight major families. The reason why the Ou family in Xiaodangshan ranks at the bottom of the eight major families is that on the one hand, it is not as strong as the other seven families in history. On the other hand, in the eyes of mainland people, the strongest one in Xiaodangshan from beginning to end is Ou Tianxing, while the other seven families are not strong and have a long history.
Besides, Ou Qing has only returned to the family in recent years. If it weren't for that, the Ou family might not have even a Wu Kuang. How could this be the last? Just say that the two families who were destroyed, Gongsun and Tao were at least one Wu Kuang holding on to the scene before Ou Qing came back. In contrast, the Ou family...
However, the reason why Gongsun and Tao families were destroyed and Xiaodangshan was that Ou Qing's sudden return made the unknown force miss it, and the sudden appearance of the Wu Kuang strongman was no longer within the scope of the investigation of that force. In addition, the Ou family has always claimed that the Ou family has three martial masters. In fact, it is not the case. The Ou family's Three Wu Zuns are just the name of the three sons of the Ou family. As for the three elders hidden in the Ou family, many people don't know it.
Just as Ou Chuyang was looking at everyone, Ou Xian, the second elder on the left, suddenly shouted loudly: "Beast, I just returned home, I was unscrupulous and disrespectful. I didn't say that I had entered the mountain without any notice. Now that I saw the head of the family and the elders, I didn't kneel down to salute. Do you have no Ou family in your eyes?"
Hearing this loud shout, Ou Chuyang was stunned without expecting it.
"Hmm? I haven't spoken yet, you started to scold people first? What does it mean? Take a sensation?"
The second elder Ou Xian's slightly angry shout echoed in the conference hall, which was extremely harsh. But when he heard Ou Chuyang's ears, he couldn't help but aroused the anger in his heart.
"What does it mean? Take advantage of the situation?" Ou Chuyang thought disdainfully.
Putting his hands behind him, Ou Chuyang straightened his body and looked directly at Ou Xian, without any 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 scolding him, Ou Chuyang did not show the anger in his heart, but instead asked with disdain.
"Hmph!" Ou Xian snorted coldly: "Without notice, you went privately to the mountain and injured dozens of family children. You are unscrupulous. When you see two seniors Li and Lan, you are not only indifferent, but also incite to each other. You are disrespectful. Are you wrong about what I said?"
"Haha~" Ou Chuyang laughed when he heard this. The laughter was full of arrogance, which made everyone present stunned.
"What's wrong with me breaking into the mountain? You can ask the children of the family who were guarding the gate. When I signed up to go up the mountain, did they mean to inform me? Besides, Li and Lan saw me, and they took action without discrimination. If I hadn't had some skills, I'd probably died in their hands. Now you know how to teach me a lesson, where were you just now?"
With a sarcastic rebuttal, he spoke out from Ou Chuyang, and his righteous words made the second elder Ou Xian so angry that he could not speak for a long time.
In fact, even Ou Chuyang didn't realize that if he had just said this, he wouldn't have said it casually. After all, the elders sitting above were all the elders of the family. Even if he had no feelings for the family, he would not have said it so easily if he had to take into account Ou Haopeng's feelings.
However, what Ou Chuyang didn't know was that after he had been guarding the formation underground for three years, especially after understanding the word "break" in the Brahma Skill, Ou Chuyang's temperament began to undergo a subtle change. This change had actually been broken through the ground and had already revealed signs when he fought with Pei Quan. How could he bear it? After that, Ou Chuyang was always worried about Ou Haopeng and Ou Qing, so he himself did not realize that he had changed, became arrogant, fearless, and... it became difficult to understand.
At this time, the second elder had not spoken yet, among the younger generation behind Ou Chuyang, a very fat young man slapped the armrests of the seats, but stood up and shouted: "Ou Chuyang, how dare you be disrespectful to the elder and speak like this to the elder?"
He turned his head slightly, Ou Chuyang looked at the fat young man with big ears and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"
"My name is Ou Xiong." The obese young man replied.
"Ou Xiong?" Ou Chuyang sneered: "I think you might as well call Ou Zhu. The second elder talked to me, and you interrupted here, and said I was disrespectful? Close your mouth and sit down quickly."
"You..." After being insulted by Ou Chuyang, Ou Xiong was about to curse, but at this time, Li Zhongtian spoke out.
"Ou Xiong, shut up and sit down."
Hearing Li Zhongtian's words, Ou Xiong immediately closed his mouth and sat down, but his round and fat face was so angry that Ou Chuyang was constantly panting with an angry breath.
Ou Chuyang didn't know that Ou Xiong was the common disciple of Li Zhongtian and Ou Xian. Among the younger generation of the family, if Ou Yuqing had not returned, he would have the strongest strength. At the age of twenty-six, he had reached the level of a level seven martial artist, so he was favored by the two elders and taught his unique skills to him.
Just now, Ou Chuyang refuted Ou Xian that as his disciple, Ou Xiong naturally would not see the former being rude to his master, so he angrily denounced Ou Chuyang. Then, in this case, without the permission of the elders, he spoke privately, which was not suitable, so Li Zhongtian swears to stop him.
Seeing Ou Xiong sitting down, Li Zhongtian frowned and said, "Ou Chuyang, no matter whether the family's children were blocking you just now, you can't go to the mountains privately. Your actions violate the family rules. If they are like you, how can the family be managed? Ou Chuyang, give you a chance, and why don't you apologize to the head of the family quickly."
"Damn, you old maomao, and you don't have a surname, you dare to take care of me?" Hearing Li Zhongtian's reprimand, Ou Chuyang couldn't help but be angry. Just as he was about to refute, Ou Haopeng secretly pulled him.
The dirty mouth that had been prepared was not spit out. Ou Chuyang looked at Ou Haopeng. Seeing the latter constantly looking at him, Ou Chuyang immediately swallowed the anger and said to himself: "Damn, for my father, I will tolerate you first."
Seeing that Ou Chuyang didn't speak, Ou Cheng, the head of the family, also spoke at the right time: "Okay. Ou Chuyang and the disciples of Shoushan were both wrong, and it was useless to fight. And today is not the time to discuss this matter. Ou Chuyang, sit down first, and then study your affairs after the main talks."
Upon hearing this, Ou Chuyang shrugged indifferently. Seeing that there was only one position near the right side of the gate, he walked over and sat down.
Seeing that everyone shut up, Ou Cheng said in a deep voice: "I just opened my head. Everyone doesn't know much about the whole story of this matter. Moreover, Ou Chuyang has just returned and has not heard the front, Haofei, you can tell everyone again from the beginning. Then, let's discuss the issue of selecting people."
On the right, Ou Haofei heard Ou Cheng calling him, nodded slightly, then looked at Ou Chuyang thoughtfully, and then started speaking.
