Chapter 156: Nine Dragon Pictures

In the small courtyard, Shang Yanfei sat on the main seat.

He was dressed in black robes, his hair was as long as blood, he still looked like a young man, and his face was handsome. And his children all sat down separately and gathered together.

Under the gaze of his children, Shang Yanfei took out a pile of animal skins from his arms.

There is a layer of lines on each animal skin, which vividly depicts some kind of dragon beast. There are also ink notes on the corners, exuding a strong wild and primitive atmosphere.

"This is the Nine Sons Dragon Picture. My father was on an adventure in his early years and got it from the corpse of a Gu Immortal by chance. Unfortunately, this immortal connection has never been with my father. Even if I consult other elders of the merchant, I can't figure it out. Now, my father will hand over these Nine Sons Dragon Map to you one by one, hoping that you can uncover the secrets and inherit the immortal destiny."

Having said this, Shang Yanfei shifted his gaze from the animal skin to Shang Qiu Niu.

"Prison Niu, come here." He called softly.

"Father." Shang Qiu Niu left his seat and walked to Shang Yanfei.

Shang Yanfei handed the top piece of animal skin to him: "This is the picture of the prisoner cow. That's why I named you prisoner cow. You are the boss, mature and prudent, I am very relieved. This Resurrection from the dead is an immeasurable treasure in your life, don't let your father down."

Shang Prisoner Niu stretched out his hands and took the skin: "Father, my son will do his best not to let you down."

"Yai Zhen, come here too." Shang Yanfei waved and called his second son, "You should broaden your horizons and be broad-minded in the future. It will be good for you."

"Yes, the son will definitely keep his father's teachings in mind." Shang Yazhen took the animal skin with both hands and returned to his seat.

Shang Yanfei called his children one by one, distributed the Nine Sons Dragon Picture, and said a few words of encouragement to each of them.

Shang Xinci has been sitting there and has not been summoned.

She observed carefully and found that the animal patterns on the nine dragon pictures were different. For example, the picture of mocking the wind shows a mythical beast sitting upright and looking out, its aura is noble and inviolable. Another example is Pulao Tu, which looks like an entrenched dragon. There is also a picture that looks like a giant turtle that can carry mountains and rivers. There is also a picture of Bi Fan, which looks like a tiger with a fierce aura.

There were only nine animal skin pictures, which were distributed quickly, but there were more than nine children.

Shang Yanfei called Shang Tuohai again: "You have been in charge of the caravan and managed it very well. Then my father will transfer all this caravan to you. In addition, there is also a waterway inheritance here. A Narcissus inheritance. Although it is dilapidated, the content inside is of great value to you. I hope you will continue to be self-reliant and self-reliant in the future."

After a while, Shang Yanfei summoned Shang Yifan: "This is just a rank five Gu Master inheritance, but it has clues to the Gu Immortal inheritance. What will happen in the future depends on your own performance."

Finally, Shang Yanfei called Shang Xinci's name.

"Father." Shang Xinci came to Shang Yanfei.

Shang Yanfei sighed: "My family property has been divided, and only this small courtyard is left. My heart is kind, among all the children, you are the most unexpected. If you don't dislike it, this small courtyard will Keep it."

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the yard.

The children all looked at Shang Yanfei and Shang Xinci. Many of them wanted to speak, but found that they suddenly couldn't speak.

These were obviously Shang Yanfei's hands and feet.

So in full view of everyone, Shang Xinci calmly agreed: "My daughter thanked her father."

After the family dinner, most of Shang Yanfei's children gathered together secretly.

"Alas, my father actually handed over the courtyard to Shang Xinci."

"He still won't let us object!"

"It seems that father really wants Shang Xinci to secure his position as clan leader. What should we do?"

"This is so unfair! What did we get? Some inexplicable things, or a broken inheritance. And what about her, Shang Xinci? But she has firmly taken the position of patriarch. This position will definitely be cultivated by the entire family. Gu Immortal Seed!"

When Shang Yanfei was still one of the young masters, he was jointly suppressed by several other young masters. Shang Yanfei had to give up his position as young master.

Become an ordinary tribesman. During that period, I lived in this small courtyard.

Later, he became the leader of the clan. In order to warn himself and his descendants, he kept this place. Family banquets have always been held here.

Later, when Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing came out from Qingmao Mountain and escorted Shang Xinci to Shantong Mountain, they were received in this courtyard.

It was of great significance that Shang Yanfei handed over this small courtyard to Shang Xinci, which also meant that Shang Yanfei handed over the position of patriarch to Shang Xinci.

Although Shang Xinci has already taken the position of patriarch, according to family tradition, it must be handed over by the previous patriarch to be the most orthodox and irreproachable.

"Father is partial!"

"Yes, he prefers Shang Xinci the most. Where does this put us?"

"Everyone, are we just watching helplessly? Shang Xinci is just an illegitimate daughter!"

"Hmph, after I died, you were so incompetent that you actually made Shang Xinci the clan leader."

"The position of patriarch was not decided by me. What can we do about the decree from above?"

"If you ask me, some of the elders in our business are a little confused."

"Shang Xinci and Fang Yuan have a mysterious relationship, I'm afraid that's what the higher-ups think."

The children's discussion stopped abruptly.

After being silent for a long time, Shang Yifan said: "Fang Yuan did live in Shantou Mountain for a period of time. But what kind of person is he? He has a global view, how can he care about ants like me? What can the merchant's elders imagine? Too many, haven’t you seen that Shang Xinci hasn’t received any help from Fang Yuan for so many years?”

These words injected life into the dead atmosphere.

The faces of the other children all looked bright again.

They all agreed that Fang Yuan had already forgotten everything about Shantou Mountain, and they were unwilling to give up Shang Xinci's position as clan leader.

Shang Yifan continued: "Shang Xinci is powerful, but not invincible. As long as we join forces, we have a good chance of winning. We can completely divide her men."

Shang Yaizhen chuckled darkly: "We have to use a two-pronged approach to make Shang Xinci overwhelmed. I was lucky enough to meet a strong man not long ago. If I can get his help, I will definitely make Shang Xinci very anxious and his reputation will plummet. "

A few days later.

The atmosphere in the study was solemn.

Shang Xinci frowned slightly. After listening to Shang Buli's report, he sighed deeply: "I didn't expect the situation to be so serious. In just a few days, it has spread from the slightest sign to the entire market in Shanshuishan Mountain."

A few days ago, fake goods suddenly appeared in the Gu insect market in Shangshui Mountain. These fake Gu are exactly the same in appearance as the real Gu. Even if they are used for a period of time, they will remain as normal. But after a while, the fake Gu will reveal its true colors and destroy itself, causing heavy losses to those who buy the Gu.

Fake Gu appears in the market of merchants, which greatly affects the reputation of merchants.

The matter was quite serious. Xiaodie had been standing beside Shang Xinci, very dissatisfied with Shang Buli, and said directly: "Sir Shang Buli, you are responsible for looking after the market. There must be a process for things to get to this level. Why have you been Conceal it or report it?”

Shang Buli snorted angrily: "It's because my subordinates are so incompetent that I have let you down, Patriarch. The matter is so serious that it is hard for my subordinates to take the blame. I will resign now, and please don't stop me, Patriarch."

"You!" Xiaodie was stunned and immediately shouted, "Who do you want to scare?"

Shang Buli glanced at Xiaodie coldly: "You are just a maid. I have a lot of people, so I won't argue with you. Lord Patriarch, please resign, please allow me."

Shang Xinci stared deeply at Shang Buli with a calm expression: "In that case, I agree."

"Farewell!" Shang Buli smiled, turned around and left.

"He really gave up and left?" Xiaodie was stunned.

"Sir, Lord Shang Tuohai is outside asking for an audience." At this time, Xiaolan reported outside the study.

Shang Xinci's eyes flickered and he responded calmly: "Invite him in."

Shang Tuohai came to the study room, saw Shang Xinci's expression, and nodded slightly: "It seems you have noticed something."

Shang Xinci asked: "Is it because of the position of clan leader?"

Shang Tuohai: "That's right. Shang Buli was in charge of the slave trade in his early years and did a great job. Unfortunately, after you came to power, you couldn't bear to do such cruel things and banned the slave trade, making Shang Buli manage the Gu Insect Market in Shantou Mountain. , Shang Buli has been persuaded by others, and he is also involved in this fake Gu conspiracy."

"This old thief!" Xiaodie was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Shang Tuohai added: "Their plan doesn't stop there. Shang Buli is just the first person to be divided, and more will appear later."

Shang Xinci nodded: "What do you want?"

Shang Tuohai smiled faintly: "You and I have the same identity, and we are also illegitimate. Even if you fall, I will not be able to sit on the position of clan leader. I will rarely come back in the future, and will spend most of my time leading the caravan to explore. I I also want to become an immortal! But I can’t take this family path. If you can become an immortal in the future, I hope my kindness in telling you the truth will be reciprocated."

"I got it."

"Farewell."

Watching Shang Tuohai leave, Shang Xinci felt very complicated.

During these years of running a business, Shang Xinci not only developed his abilities, but also broadened his horizons. In her opinion, among Shang Yanfei's children, Shang Tuohai is definitely ranked among the top three in terms of truth theory ability, and his character, talent, and talent are all top-notch choices. It's a pity that I didn't have enough opportunities to get favored by experts.

"Destiny is ruined, and the great era is coming. Countless people are fighting for the chance to become an immortal. Alas." Shang Xinci sighed in his heart.

Next, it was exactly as Shang Tuohai reminded.

Zhu Ba and Wan Qianshan then took the initiative to resign. Xiao Yan got the news that the flame Gu material he needed after all the hard work appeared in the distance, and he was going to search far away.

Xiongtu, Xionghuo, and Xiongfeng received some news about how to rescue their ancestor Xiongyanpo.

Zhou Quan and Wei Dexin "accidentally fell ill" and both were bedridden.

For a time, almost all of Shang Xinci's capable subordinates left her, leaving her alone.

The Gu Masters who purchased the fake Gu gathered together and started causing trouble.

Shang Xinci had to lead Xiaodie and Xiaolan to the scene to take charge of the situation.

"These Gu insects are all fake. Do all your merchants sell fakes?"

"Since you are here, head of the Shang family, tell me what to do!"

"I spent most of my fortune to buy one of your level four Gu worms, but it turned out to be a fake!"

“Businessmen have a profit festival once a year, but they sell fake goods and harm us buyers. This is absolutely unacceptable to us!”

"What's even more disgusting is that the products are clearly marked as being sold at a discount, but the price is actually adjusted secretly. The price is actually the same as usual."

Amid the anger of the crowd, Shang Xinci remained calm and composed: "No matter how much you have lost, the merchant will compensate you double the price."

Just one word and the scene was silent.

Shang Yaizhen and others in the dark were anxious and issued orders quickly.

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "If you want compensation, pay it on the spot!"

"Yeah, one thing in front of you and another behind your back, it's all your business's tricks!"

"Your business sells fake goods. Is what you say really credible?"

"I don't care, this store of yours has defrauded us of our hard-earned money, I'm going to smash it down!"

The lurkers in the crowd all took action and attacked Shang Xinci.

Shang Xinci stretched out his hand and used a defensive move to protect the shop behind him and block all kinds of attacks.

Xiaolan and Xiaodie shouted together and were about to take action, but were stopped by Shang Xinci.

Shang Xinci's eyes flashed, and his aura suddenly exploded, and he actually performed a killing move on the battlefield.

The killing move swept away all the troublemakers, and the originally noisy and crowded streets suddenly became deserted.

"Amazing!"

"I didn't expect Shang Xinci to be so powerful!"

Shang Yaizhen and others were shocked when they witnessed this scene.

For a moment, they seemed to see their former father Shang Yanfei, who looked like a peak level five powerhouse!
