Chapter 120 Family inheritance
After everyone in the Song family returned to Funiu Mountain, the tired old patriarch Song Gushan couldn't take a moment to rest, and quickly made arrangements to bury these clan members who sacrificed for the family. When he arrived at the cemetery on the mountain, he personally presided over the funerals of several tribesmen who died in the war.
The fourth elder was buried next to the great elder’s cemetery. There are several old graves nearby, all of which are monks from the ancient generation who have died. Song Gushan also specially asked people to bury them in the cemetery. A vacant space was cleared for him on the other side of the elder's cemetery.
Not long after several members of the Song family were buried, the Huang family sent people over to deliver the pensions for the recruitment and some rewards for them, including thousands of spiritual stones. , but everyone didn’t feel anything when they saw these spiritual stones. After all, these were obtained by several dead tribesmen with their lives.
The fourth elder who managed the family's Hidden Gold Pavilion is no longer here. The old patriarch can only temporarily store these spiritual stones in the Hidden Gold Pavilion, and then take them out for distribution after a candidate is selected to take over the Hidden Gold Pavilion. .
After finishing these funeral arrangements, the old patriarch chose a good day and summoned all the monks of the Song family to the meeting hall. He announced to everyone on the spot that he would from now on step down from the position of patriarch that he had held for decades. The power was passed to the new patriarch, Sixth Uncle Song Changfeng.
After his sixth uncle Song Changfeng took over as the clan leader, he quickly redistributed the family's original elder positions, and selected several new elders on the spot to help him manage the entire family.
The Ninth Uncle Song Changxin, who has always been a man of few things, took over the position of the original fourth elder and served as the family's meritorious elder. He was responsible for managing the spiritual objects in the Hidden Gold Pavilion and the redemption of clan members' merits. This area is more leisurely and also There is no need to go down the mountain very often, so taking charge of this aspect is more suitable for an ascetic monk like him who likes to practice.
Thirteenth uncle Song Changxiong took over the affairs of Song Changfeng and became the new law enforcement elder of the family, managing the family's demon hunting team and the guarding of Funiu Mountain. He was already very familiar with this aspect. Uncle Nian Liu had too many things to do, so he was basically responsible for all these things.
The fifth aunt Song Changling serves as the family elder, responsible for teaching the young monks in the family school on the mountain, as well as managing the family's mortal affairs and the annual spirit testing ceremony. She has been doing this all these years. As a guard in Mujiao Town, I am already very familiar with these things.
Song Qingming's side has not changed much. He is still responsible for assisting the clan leader in managing some trivial matters within the family, doing things such as welcoming people and sending them off, and running errands. This is a bit like the role of the great elder. This is also the family's intention to train him and understand him better. The specific situation of various affairs in some families.
Song Gulan, the original third elder, is still in charge of the family spiritual planting. She originally wanted to retire early this time like the old patriarch, but there is currently no suitable person to replace her. She, at Song Gushan's insistence, agreed to continue to help the clan take care of it for a while, and wait until the clan found a suitable candidate to replace her.
Now there are nearly thirty monks in the Song family. In addition to the old patriarch who is too old to take action easily, there are also five monks in the late stage of Qi refining. Their overall strength is compared to when Song Qingming first came down from the mountain. It is much stronger, and many monks of Qingzi's generation have gradually grown up.
After the issue of succession between the old and the new was over, several elders put forward a lot of their own ideas and suggestions for the future development of the family.
First of all, the family affairs, from the Liu family Thousands of mortals migrated here, and after more than ten years, the two parties continued to marry, and a lot of new blood was injected into the family. In recent years, the probability of mortals discovering spiritual roots has been much higher than before.
It's just that the number of mortals that Mujiao Town can afford has almost reached the upper limit. The population continues to grow, and the living space required will also increase exponentially. There are not many fields left that can be opened in Mujiao Town. If you want to To feed a larger population, the Song family must build new mortal villages.
Dangers are everywhere in the world of immortality. Mortals without the care of monks are very fragile. Any low-level monster that sneaks into a village can cause great damage in a short time. The Song family wants To establish a new village or town, you must first find a fertile land suitable for mortal farming, then use spiritual stones to refine a small spiritual vein, arrange a protective mountain array, and arrange for monks to be stationed and managed for a long time. These are all indispensable. Things, and it also requires the investment of a lot of spiritual stones. After everyone discussed it, everyone agreed on the matter of building a new mortal village. The clan leader Song Changfeng decided to find a few mortals from Mujiao Town to guard it together tomorrow, and first looked for a suitable territory for establishing a village near Funiu Mountain.
In refining the spiritual veins, you must first prepare hundreds of spiritual stones, and then refine a spirit gathering array. This is not a big problem. Several hundred spiritual stones The clan can still produce it. With Song Qingming's level of formation, a spirit gathering formation can be completely refined.
The only difficulty is the need for a high-grade defensive mountain formation. Song Qingming has not yet been able to refine it. Only the original great elder Song Gubai has this ability. Now he can only pass it on to his second sister Song Qingwan first. This letter asked her and her fourth uncle to go to Qinghefang to see if there was a suitable high-grade mountain protection formation.
The mountain-protecting formation is different from the magic formations that Song Qingming refined before. This kind of formation must be arranged according to the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers. It can protect a large area and is more powerful. It's just that this kind of formation can protect a large area. The demand for the east-west market is not large. The average cultivating family can even use it for hundreds of years after refining one set. It is hard to say whether it can be purchased in a small market such as Qinghefang in a short time. Even if you ask a high-grade array mage to refine it, Once a set is produced, it will take at least half a year.
The second thing was brought up by the patriarch Song Changfeng, regarding the family's training of younger monks.
In the past, all Song family monks could receive some free spiritual stones for cultivation every year before reaching adulthood. The distribution would only stop after you reach the age of 18. Then you can only rely on completing the family's Golden Pavilion. Many family monks, including clan leaders and elders, have issued tasks to earn spirit stones.
However, the family treats monks with outstanding cultivation talents and good spiritual roots very differently. The third brother Song Qingze back then had outstanding cultivation talents. In order to cultivate him, the old patriarch and the great elder directly gave him He has a large amount of cultivation resources, which has also attracted the dissatisfaction of many monks in the clan.
Song Changfeng decided that in order to treat every family monk fairly, this similar system will be temporarily canceled starting today. From now on, all family monks will be treated equally. This was also agreed by most of the elders present.
After deciding on these two major matters, everyone also discussed some other trivial matters before ending this new family meeting.
Song Qingming, who had just finished participating in the family meeting and was about to return to his cave, suddenly remembered that there was another important matter that he had not had time to deal with, so he directly stopped the clan leader Song Changfeng who was about to leave. .
"Patriarch, I would like to take a leave of absence from you next month to go to Xiaoyao Sect and meet an old friend."
