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 the clan members who had sacrificed their lives for the family in the cemetery on the mountain. He also personally He 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 were several old graves nearby, all of which were monks of the ancient generation who had already passed away. Song Gushan also specially asked people to pay tribute to him on the other side of the great elder's cemetery. He also cleared a vacant lot.
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 saw these Lingshi didn't feel anything, after all, these were obtained with the lives of several dead tribesmen.
The fourth elder who managed the family's Hidden Gold Pavilion is no longer here. The old patriarch can only temporarily store these spirit 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 clan.
The Ninth Uncle Song Changxin, who had always been a taciturn man, 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 was more leisurely and he did not have to go down the mountain often. He was responsible for this. One piece is more suitable for an ascetic monk like him who likes to practice.
The thirteenth uncle Song Changxiong took over Song Changfeng's affairs and became the family's new law enforcement elder, managing the family's demon hunting team and the guarding of Funiu Mountain. He was already very familiar with this aspect. There are too many, and these things are basically left to him.
The fifth aunt, Song Changling, serves as the family's general 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 working as a guard in Mujiao Town these years. , are 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 before. 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 responsible for the affairs of the family spiritual plant. She originally wanted to retire early this time like the old patriarch, but for the time being, there is no suitable person to replace her in Song Gushan. After persisting, she agreed to continue helping the clan 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. The overall strength is much stronger than when Song Qingming first came down from the mountain. 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 many of their own ideas and suggestions for the future development of the family.
First of all, there is the aspect of family affairs. Thousands of mortals have migrated from the Liu family. After more than ten years, the two parties have continued to marry, and a lot of fresh blood has been injected into the family. In the past few years, the probability of spiritual roots being discovered among mortals It is also 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 developed in Mujiao Town. If you want to To feed a larger population, the Song family must build new mortal villages.
Danger is 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 build a new village. First of all, It is necessary to find a fertile land suitable for mortals to cultivate, 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 they also require a lot of Shao Lingshi’s investment.
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.
To refine the spirit veins, you need to prepare hundreds of spirit stones first, and then refine a spirit gathering array. This is not a big problem. Hundreds of spirit stones can still be produced from the clan. With Song Qingming's array At the level of magic, a spirit gathering array 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 send a message to his second sister Song Qingwan to ask her and Fourth uncle went 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 east-west market does not need much, and an average cultivating family can even use it for hundreds of years after refining one set. It is hard to say whether a small market like Qinghefang can buy it 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 spirit stones for cultivation every year before reaching adulthood. The distribution would stop after you reach the age of 18. Then you can only earn by completing the tasks released in the family's Golden Pavilion. The same is true for many family monks, including clan leaders, elders, etc.
However, the family treats monks with outstanding cultivation talents and good spiritual roots very differently. Back then, the third brother Song Qingze had outstanding cultivation talents. In order to train him, the old patriarch and the great elder directly gave him a large amount of cultivation resources. This also caused dissatisfaction among many monks in the clan.
Song Changfeng decided that in order to treat every family monk fairly, this similar system would 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 main 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 an 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.
"Clan leader, I would like to take some time off from you next month to go to Xiaoyao Sect and meet an old friend."
