Downing stood up, he couldn't sit still. The brand in his hand suddenly became hot, and it seemed to inexplicably weigh dozens of pounds.

There are hundreds of thousands of Hongmen disciples and forty-nine deacons. The power is as great as the sky. Any deacon has the right to transfer the Hongmen brothers. No matter where you are.

Moreover, the deacons are all the reserve of the head of the hall, and the head of each ministry will step down in the future, and the successor will be selected from the deacons. It can be said that deacons are important positions that cannot be held by the core brothers of Hongmen. And the masters of each ministry are the pillars that support the Hongmen building. If the pillars are not chosen properly, they decay from the inside or are hollowed out by termites, and the building can collapse.

He is not from Hongmen, and he actually gave himself a deacon brand. Also, since it is a number plate, what does the "0" on it mean? Zero eggs represent nothing, is there or not? Is it just a false title? So many people here today must have come to witness this incident. A false title is unlikely. Moreover, Hongmen is such a big business, and it is impossible for him to make such a big gimmick for himself, a junior student.

He put the sign back in the tray, clenched his fists again, and said, "I'm sorry, seniors, this thing is too valuable." Downing thought he couldn't stand it. Also, boy, I'm not from Hongmen, and I don't know why you gave me the deacon's number plate. Please also give a clear indication, or else, hehe" Tang Ning smiled and said: "If this problem is not clarified, it is estimated that it will not be safe to sleep at night." ”

"Little friend, don't worry, sit down. ”

Tang Ning sat down according to his words, and the white-haired old man said: "The material of this license plate is taken from the golden silk wood heart, after the carving is completed, and then after the special mixture is bubbled, it can be regarded as the final production, hard and wear-resistant, not afraid of squeezing and bumping, it can be guaranteed for a hundred years. It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to imitate it. Maybe you can't think of it. This sign for you, along with the other forty-nine deacons, has been handed down from the time of my Hongmen ancestors. It has a history of more than 100 years. ”

Tang Ning was even more surprised, and said with a wry smile: "Senior, since they are all such valuable things, why do you give me such an unrelated outsider?"

The white-haired old man asked meaningfully, "Are you really an outsider?"

"Huh?" Tang Ning was stunned, isn't this nonsense? Not an outsider, is it still an insider? I am in charge of my own faction, although there is no one for the time being, I am alone, but it is also a Taoist system that has been passed down from generation to generation hundreds of years ago. It's older than your Hongmen history

Tang Ning couldn't help but be surprised, this old man threw such a big piece of pie, wouldn't he want to recruit me into the Hongmen? That's not good. I have the responsibility and obligation to support the Taoism left by my aunt and mother-in-law, and I will pass it on in the future. Besides. Plum Blossom Sanshou Gate is certainly not just such a name. There must be a lot of secrets that I don't know. When the strength is enough in the future, I have to explore the secret, and now I will switch to it, absolutely not.

People are old and refined, and they seem to see through what Tang Ning is thinking. The white-haired old man shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not what you think, Xiaoyou." We weren't so bold to poach you. I mean the two children of the Zhou family and the Jiang family. They're about to switch to you. And both children are the elite children of our Hongmen. You take the two of them to get started, and that's it. Are we still outsiders?"

It's good if you don't recruit me to get started. Downing breathed a sigh of relief. The old man was so polite. Once you open your mouth, you will feel embarrassed to refuse. "Even if Zhou Yu and Jiang Tao enter my plum blossom free hand, they won't give me a deacon's brand, right?"

Tang Ning looked at the six bigwigs present and hoped that they would stop selling off. Hurry up and explain. I haven't eaten dinner yet. Just the little stuff I put in my stomach when I woke up in the afternoon.

"For no other reason, if those two children don't come under your door, sooner or later they will be one of the forty-nine deacons. Presumably, Xiaoyou also noticed. The number on the sign given to you is zero. Zero means no, no zài. Therefore, the fiftieth deacon of Hongmen still has a nickname, the invisible deacon. They are all hired from outside, and they do not come from within the door. This rule has been the case since the time of the first fathers. Moreover, the vacancy of the invisible deacon has existed in Hongmen for more than half a century. More than 50 years later, I will reopen this zero plate and give it to you. It was a decision shared by all of us here. Unless you don't treat us as friends. ”

That's all for that. Downing glanced at the sign that had been held in front of him and placed on the tray in front of him. To take it or not to take it or not to take it yet. Ask about responsibilities before you talk about them. The term invisible deacon is not new. All the major sects on the rivers and lakes have similar cunzài, but the names are different. Moreover, in those sects, this kind of existence is very powerful, and even has the right to directly impose sanctions on the disciples who violate the rules and disciplines under them. In terms of benefits, it is also equivalent to an elder.

"Little friend, don't think too much, just give you a sign, and don't have the troubles and trivialities of other deacons. But. There are still some related benefits. Hehe" The white-haired old man has a dignified face and is full of righteousness. But now he's smiling. Like a cunning fox. And it's very passive to communicate with someone like him, who you can guess what you're thinking before you speak. Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, with a slight sense of oppression, Tang Ning slowly reached out and picked up the sign. There's definitely something greasy in this. The old man didn't tell the truth. But people didn't say anything. Downing couldn't help it. I can't help but take the brand. With so many people present, so many pairs of eyes staring at you, even if he Downing is a duck, he has to flap his wings and really put it on the shelf!

"Okay, I'll keep this brand for a while, and when there is a more suitable person than me. When the seniors say hello, I will return it with both hands. ”

Seeing that Tang Ning accepted the sign. The atmosphere in the room is noticeably much more relaxed. A lot of eyes are full of kindness, and there are a few other things, anyway, whether they should take it or not. I'll think about it myself when I go back and when no one is around.

"Now that we're done talking. Xiaoyou, you go back and have a good night's rest, tomorrow three fights, after the fight, let the two children take you to San Francisco for two days, Xiaoyou can take the plane back to Chinese mainland. ”

"Okay, juniors say goodbye. "Downing didn't want to stay any longer. This meeting was much different from the speculations I had before I came. You have to go back and take care of it. Two hexagrams. Don't come here and get stuck in some trap again. Tang Ning felt more and more that this No. 0 brand was very hot.

"Little friend walks slowly. ”

"Big brothers, big sisters, little brothers say goodbye. Downing made a circle around and left the hall under the gaze of everyone.

I saw Downing come out. Zhou Yu and Jiang Tao, who had been waiting outside, trotted up to meet them.

"How is it, what are the big people talking about?" Zhou Yu asked with curiosity in his eyes.

"I'll talk about it later. Tang Ning's tone was a little anxious.

"Wait, where are you going?" Jiang Tao's words stunned Tang Ning. "Where's it going? of course it's back where we came!"

"That's the suburbs, this is the city. Would you like to take a two-hour ride?"

"Okay, Jiang Tao, don't talk nonsense. Downing, you say, go to his house or mine?"

"It's the same for everyone, hurry up, I'm messing around in my head right now. You have to find a place to dig around. ”

couldn't help but say, Jiang Tao grabbed Tang Ning's arm and left. "I've been in touch with my family for a long time. Food, shelter and food are ready. ”

"Boy Jiang, you are so despicable. Be prepared in advance. Zhou Yu caught up, hugged Tang Ning and said, "Then you go back with Jiang Boy first." I'll go home and take a picture. And then I'm going to look for you. Remember, if there is anything, I will talk about it after I arrive, and I can't tell Jiang Xiaozi in advance. ”

"Okay, okay, anything. ”

Xiao Chuan is a teenager who is less than 1.6 meters tall, with a dark complexion and a thin body, and he only looks like a junior high school student who has not grown up. I don't know that I thought he was malnourished, but in fact, he was older than Xiao Jun. Now this physical appearance has a lot to do with the kung fu he practices. When the old man of the Xiao family picked him up, he warned him. This kung fu called Iron Skin is known as the Indian double in terms of jiu-jitsu. But very few people practice.

Because anyone who has practiced this kung fu will have a great variation in the physical aspect. But once practiced, the attack is very sharp. Without any protection, the flesh alone can resist the slashing and chiseling. The powerful defensive function is comparable to the Shaolin Golden Bell Jar and the lost Thirteen Taibao Henglian on the rivers and lakes.

At that time, Xiao Chuan, who was still picking up food in the garbage heap, only asked the old man of the Xiao family one sentence, "Do you want me to practice?" If you want me to practice, I'll practice. Even if I become a beast in the future, I will admit it. ”

What the old man of the Xiao family saw in the eyes of this little beggar at that time was not ignorance, but calmness, a chilling calm. The silence at that time caused today's Ogawa. And Ogawa seems to have been born to be a killer, calm, meticulous, and extremely alternative and flexible in his way of thinking. He is one of the most important cadres of the Xiao family.

When Xiao Jun found him, he had just come out of the underground practice ground. After knowing Xiao Jun's intention, he didn't hesitate and refused.

"No, Second Young Master, this matter must not be done. I'm not going to help you. ”

"Presumptuous, I am the second young master of the dignified Xiao family, do you dare to listen to my words?"

"I only listen to the orders of the master and the eldest young master. ”

The furious Xiao Jun raised his hand and slapped him. Ogawa's face was expressionless. "Second Young Master, is there anything else? ”

"You"

After Xiao Chuan walked out for six or seven meters, he stopped, didn't look back, and said, "If the second young master is worried about the position of the second brother of the young master of the Jiang family, there is no need to deliberately kill him." After tomorrow, Young Master Jiang will no longer be from Hongmen. The position will naturally be given up, as for whether you can get that position in your hands, it depends on your ability, Second Young Master. ”

"Hey, you stop, what do you mean by that you stop"

Xiao Chuan's back vanished, leaving Xiao Jun roaring like a mad beast in place.
