Chapter 420: The Seven Tribulations
The road did not stop, and by noon, everyone caught up with the convoy of merchants resting and eating on the side of the road.
After someone passed through, Shang Chenyang heard the news and came out.
Shang Chenyang has thick eyebrows and big eyes, he actually looks quite heroic, but the rosacea nose on his face is a little broken.
He walked over quickly after getting out of the car, and said with a smile: "Luo Dashao has always been punctual, I knew that you would be able to catch up." ”
Shang Chenyang and Shang Chenxi are of the same generation, but because Shang Si got a son very late, he is not much older than Luo Xiyan, and the two have always been on an equal footing.
Shang Chenyang was talking in his mouth, but his eyes glanced at Xue Jiayi beside Luo Xiyan hotly, and asked, "This girl is faced, which one is it?"
Luo Xiyan knew his urine nature, and said with a smile: "Xue Jiayi Xue girl, brother, the good friend I made on the road is quite a match, Brother Yang will take care of it more in the future." ”
Shang Chenyang's eyes froze: "Ah, I understand, isn't it my brother and sister, it's easy to talk about." ”
Xue Jiayi was worried about Hua Lanting, ignored the ridicule of the two, and secretly stretched out his hand behind to pull the placket of Luo Xiyan's clothes.
Luo Xiyan understood and said busily: "Brother Yang, after gossiping, we were attacked on the road, and a brother was seriously injured, and I want to trouble you to find someone to take a look." ”
Shang Chenyang was taken aback: "Who is so bold as to dare to provoke you Fuchen Castle." Who was hurt?"
"This person, you should know that Brother Hualan Tinghua, who is at ease in Vientiane Gate, heard him say that he also came to meet with the merchants. If it weren't for him, I guess Miss Xue and I wouldn't be able to get out. ”
"Is it him? I know, it's not an outsider, it's also a foreign surname of a merchant, I'll immediately diagnose and treat someone, there are a lot of masters who came out to accompany me this time, you can rest assured." ”
Shang Chenyang first arranged for someone to carry Hua Lanting into a carriage, and he took Luo Xiyan and Xue Jiayi to meet his father Shang Si, Shang Si immediately invited a few powerful people to go and inspect, and Shang Chenyang pulled Luo Xue and Shang Si to talk.
The merchant inquired about the circumstances of the attack, and then ordered the merchant to immediately launch an investigation into the merchant's business in Wuzhou.
Luo Xiyan asked Shang Chenyang: "Why did you leave half a day early?"
Shang Chenyang replied: "Haven't you heard? A few days ago, news came from the front that there was a treasure light in the Jiming Mountain near the location of the trading conference that had appeared many times, and some people had found that there would be a strange treasure there, which caused many monks to go to hunt for treasures. ”
Luo Xiyan said: "You merchants are rich, and there are no treasures." Besides, this kind of situation often happens in Xianzhou, which can alarm Master Shang and you to go out in person?"
"Brother, it seems that you really don't know, this time is extraordinary. Shu Xuan Immortal Continent is about to change the sky! You always know the Six Tribulations of Shu Xuan, right?"
Luo Xiyan and Xue Jiayi both changed color when they heard this.
The Six Tribulations of the Xuan Immortal Continent are the six internal tribulations in the recent 10,000-year history of the Xuan Xuan Immortal Continent, each of which was born from a different treasure.
These exotic treasures are not one or two, but a treasure trove, often involving a variety of magic weapons and various exercise cheats and equipment materials.
Some of these treasures can be found in texts and legends, and many are unheard of relics from ancient, antiquity, and medieval periods.
Although the level of cultivation in the ancient period has been greatly improved, and it may not be inferior to its predecessors as a whole, and even has begun to surpass it in some aspects, but there will be several artifacts and quasi-artifacts in these relics each time, and most of the exercises and materials have been lost for a long time or have long been extinct in Xianzhou, so they will set off a bloody battle inside and outside Xianzhou.
All previous wars would involve almost all the sects in the Immortal Continent, not counting the cultivators on other continents who had heard the news.
The scale, ferocity, and scope of the previous wars are all greater than the recent invasion of the Central Thick Earth Continent, and because the treasures are often fought over and over several times, and thus arouse all kinds of new and old grudges, they will last for a long time, and even if they want to stay out of the matter, it is often difficult for the sect to stand alone.
The outcome of each great battle will inevitably lead to a major reshuffle in the cultivation realm, which will change the existing pattern of Shuxuan Immortal Continent to a considerable extent, and form a far-reaching impact.
On the one hand, the war led to the extinction or decline of many sects, as well as the fall of a large number of monks.
But on the other hand, after the war is silent, it will promote the birth of some new sects and the rapid rise of existing sects, and in the turmoil, a group of new generation leaders will be born, and there is no shortage of precedents for the old powerhouses who have been able to soar from this.
Moreover, after a few years of each tribulation, the cultivation level of Shu Xuan Immortal Continent can be driven to a higher level, so that it will not fall behind in the competition with other continents.
With such stimulation and benefits, although every time after the reflection, all parties feel that they should maintain restraint and establish a more gentle mode of resource scrambling to avoid serious losses in a short period of time, they have never been able to reach a consensus, and time and time again, the cat smells fishy and kills red eyes.
The interval between the first six great tribulations was long and short, and some people searched for the causes and laws of the appearance of strange treasures, but there was always no conclusion, and everyone could only attribute it to the evolution of the world path naturally arranged by the Heavenly Dao in the dark.
Now that nearly two thousand years have passed since the Sixth Great Tribulation, many people have forgotten that there is such a thing, and do not want the prelude to the Seventh Great Tribulation to begin at this time.
Luo Xiyan was so shocked by the news that he didn't speak for a long time, and then said slowly: "Brother Yang, Xianzhou will be in chaos." ”
"Isn't it? Shang Chenyang licked his lips, "But it's also an opportunity, the troubled times produce heroes, the times create heroes, you and my brother must seize it." Don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again, Dawn Fort has been in the northwest corner of the country for a long time, don't you want to make a noise of your family?"
Luo Xiyan shrank his head and said: "In such a chaotic situation, the most important thing is to save your life." ”
"Cut, you don't want to, Ling Zun may not want to. Besides, if you want to dodge this matter, you can't hide from it. As soon as the news came out, countless people were rushing desperately. We happened to be so close that we had to go over and see whatever. ”
"The rules for taking treasure are different every time, and I don't know what it is like this time. When we arrive, we can choose to wait and see and not do it, but the building near the water is the first to get the month, and there is nothing wrong with grasping the first-hand situation and opportunities. ”
Xue Jiayi was also surprised, but she was more concerned about Hua Lanting's safety at this time, and asked, "I don't know what happened to the inspection by the merchant masters?"
Shang Chenyang asked Luo Xiyan and Xue Jiayi to go to rest first, and they would soon set off again to hurry, saying that they would inform the two of them when they had definite news.
After a while, Shang Chenyang was called by Shang Si, and the father and son discussed in a low voice.
Shang Si was old, but his eyes were sharp, and Shang Chenyang's hooked nose that he hadn't inherited made him even more rebellious, and he asked, "Chenyang, what do you think about Hualan Ting?"
Shang Chenyang didn't react: "Hua Lanting, whatever, this is not a big deal, isn't it a matter of urgency, isn't it said that the top priority is to try to profit from the matter of the appearance of the strange treasure, in order to get more bargaining chips for the position." ”
"Confused! How stupid are you? How does your father usually teach you? Those who achieve great things must have a gap in their chests, have a view of the overall situation, and at the same time have to be meticulous in every matter and detail! How can you rest assured that your father will hand over the family business to you in the future?"
"Coincidentally, this time it was supposed to be Shang Chenzhao or Shang Chenxi who came with Shang Jinshu, temporarily replaced by our grandfather, and it happened to encounter a catastrophe that has not been encountered in a thousand years, this is a God-given opportunity, God help me!"
"Your uncle controls the business, and the children and grandchildren of his line are also angry, you and my father and son really don't have much chance to turn the tables. Over the years, I have been operating in the northwest and secretly arranging, not daring to relax a little, cautious and down-to-earth, everything is only the order of the eldest brother, so that he will not be suspicious, and the picture is that one day there will be changes. ”
"Now that things are sudden, Xianzhou will soon be in chaos. ”
"With the calm nature of the eldest brother, he must make a decision to act, and he will not rush to change the general to replace us at present. ”
"So here, you and my father and son have the final say, and they can just use the power of merchants in the southeast region to fish in troubled waters and strengthen their own strength. At the same time, when Xianzhou is in turmoil, the people of the eldest brother's line will inevitably have to go around to rescue and put out the fire, and the power of his descendants will be dispersed, so I can arrange the manpower of the envelope to play black hands in various places. ”
"One trades off the other. When the situation is chaotic to a certain extent, when the important people of the Changfang family are reduced, and when the forces that support your uncle inside and outside become weak, we will be able to contact the various side branches, and with the help of the hidden forces controlled by the father and the external collaborators, we will be able to force the palace and let you counterattack and become the master of the merchant!"
Shang Chenyang was still puzzled: "These children all know, what does this have to do with that kid in Hualanting?"
Shang Si looked at him with some hatred: "This is the overall situation, but the subsections can't be ignored." Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and anthill dam failure is not a day's work. Anything that can weaken the strength of the big brother, we must do it on the premise of ensuring safety. ”
"Hua Lanting, isn't the information you have given clear enough? Not to mention that he is a genius himself, and his future achievements are promising, he is the treasure of the Vientiane Gate, and he is the link between Shang Chenxi and the Vientiane Gate. ”
"Vientiane Gate, not only the strength shown on the surface, but also the increasingly close relationship between the two sides through the cooperation of rhenium mines, is really a great help to the Chenxi brothers. ”
"Therefore, we have to cut off this connection, and at least cause losses to Vientiane Gate, it is best to destroy the relationship between the two sides and promote the two sides to turn against each other. ”
"Even if it doesn't have a decisive impact on our big plans, if we do too much of this, sooner or later, the balance of power will tilt in our favor. Moreover, many things will be linked, and the effect may not be apparent at the time, so you know that this is not a good move. ”
"The boy understood. That...... Taking this opportunity to get rid of him directly is not the best policy. ”
"Nonsense! Hua Lanting is the platinum child of our business, although he is injured, he is broken in the hands of you and me, and it is always not appropriate, and he keeps the truth. ”
"So what to do?"
"Smack!" Shang Si slapped on the top of Shang Chenyang's brain, and roared: "I want you to find a way, what's the use of me giving birth to you!" My little ancestor, can you use your brain more?"
"Also, how do I usually teach you?
"Know how to maximize benefits in everything. Merchants are first and foremost businessmen, network resources and channel networks are the most important, with these, there are all kinds of treasures, and let others do it. ”
"In addition, you must also know how to watch the fire from the other side, try to pick yourself clean, and be able to hide a knife in a smile, make something out of nothing, and borrow a knife to kill people......"
After Shang Chenyang read the information, he thought about it for a while, and said happily: "There is a plan for the child, but you have to use the elixir in your old secret." ”
"Well, dog-eat-dog, a mouthful of hair, although there are shortcomings, it can't fully meet your requirements to sow discord, it's enough. I have added one more to your teachings - killing two birds with one stone. No, it's just killing three or four birds with one stone!"
