In order to prevent the Qing soldiers from coming to search for them, the triad moved to another small bamboo forest, and in that small bamboo forest, a "altar opening" ceremony was held to recruit new members.

A small pile of new soil was gathered in the center, and the tablet of the altar of the five ancestors was set up on the mound, and the names of Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Hu Dedi, Ma Chaoxing, and Li Shikai were written respectfully in the official book, and a large handful of incense and candles were lit in front of the altar of the five ancestors, and bursts of green smoke slowly rose and swirled in the air, so that the whole bamboo forest was filled with a mysterious and serious atmosphere. Immediately on both sides of the altar of the Five Ancestors, stood the four most important leaders, dragon heads, white fans, straw sandals, and red sticks, and on both sides stood more than a hundred members of the Sanhe, all of whom looked solemn and infinitely pious.

Gong Ren and Xipin stand outside the circle of Triad members.

A Hongmen brother wearing a red scarf came over and led Gong Ren and Xipin forward, shouting, "Take the ride in the wind—"

The triad brothers on both sides shouted in unison: "I have heard for a long time that the eldest brother is benevolent and righteous, and the lotus flowers are blooming, and the younger brother hall has come to pick up the car and welcome the eldest brother here." ”

Everyone is in a lunge, with the five fingers of the right hand together, and the palm of the hand bent at 90 degrees downward and nodding down three times.

Xipin was puzzled and asked Gongren: "What kind of etiquette is this?" ”

Gong Ren whispered, "Probably the third phoenix nodded." ”

Wang Longtou shouted: "Manchurian braids, evil things, scattered braids, open the altar to worship the ancestors." ”

Gong Ren and Xi Pin spread their braids, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to the Five Ancestors Altar.

Wang Longtou shouted again: "The triad party, oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, the sun and the moon can be learned, and never regret it." ”

Gongren and Xipin also shouted: "Triad Party, anti-Qing and Mingming, the sun and the moon can be learned, and they will never regret it." ”

Wang Longtou shouted again: "Human blood is red, red human blood, after drinking wine, the heart is iron." ”

A triad member brought a copper plate in front of Gong Ren, with a knife on the plate, and another triad member brought a small jar of wine, which was also held in front of Gong Ren. Gong Ren took the sharpened knife with his right hand, aimed at the middle finger of his left hand, bit his teeth, and swiped his heart horizontally. First came a white mouth, turning out the white flesh, then the wound turned red, and the blood rushed out, and then it slipped into the jar of wine, forming many beautiful flowers. The flowers gather more and more, and the more they gather, the thicker and thicker, and the transparent liquid gradually turns red.

Xipin also learned from Gong Ren's appearance, touched the knife, pointed the blade at his middle finger, tilted his head, but he didn't dare to pull, Gong Ren nodded silently at the encouraging eyes she handed over. Xi Pin's teeth were bitten, his feet were stamped, and his fingers were cut, so that the blood trickled down to the wine jar drop by drop.

A triad member put a jar of wine into a small wine bowl and distributed it to everyone.

Wang Longtou first picked up a bowl of wine, saluted everyone, and shouted: "Welcome Gongren and Xipin to join the triad, and we will be a family from now on." Oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, kill the Manchu Tartars, share the blessings and hardships, reward the merits, punish the guilty, and do it-", and then took the wine bowl and drank it all.

All the members of the Triad also took the wine bowl and drank it all. Gongren also followed everyone's example, drank it dry in one gulp, and then the bottom of the wine glass was downward, and the wine did not flow. Xipin grinned, puffed up his spirits and took a sip, choked at once, blushed and coughed, and rubbed his chest vigorously, but still endured to drink the remaining half of the wine.

Wang Longtou looked at Xipin's embarrassed appearance and said loudly: "Okay! All right! At first glance, he was a cadre, and he made meritorious service in the future and was promoted according to merit. I, don't have to worship, you two just worship the red stick in charge of punishment, the white fan of the military advisor, and the straw sandals that deliver the message. ”

Gong Ren and Xipin worshiped them one by one.

Gong Ren saw that all three of them had their thumbs up with their right hands, their index fingers bent to the end, and their middle, ring fingers, and little fingers together. Gong Ren was puzzled and asked, "Do you dare to ask what this gesture means?" ”

Wang Longtou laughed: "This gesture is to commemorate the day when Emperor Chongzhen hanged the coal mountain, and the curved index finger represents 9, that is, March 19, and also symbolizes the three and a half incense sticks of Hongmen, benevolence and righteousness incense, loyalty incense, root incense, and majestic incense." ”

Gong Ren: "What is the incense of benevolence and righteousness, the incense of loyalty and righteousness, the incense of roots and the fragrance of majesty?" ”

Wang Longtou: "Renyixiang tells the story of the Sheep's Horn Mourning and Zuo Botao in the Warring States Period, and the story of brothers' benevolence and righteousness. Zhongyixiang tells the story of Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan's three alliances, who could not be born on the same day, but asked to die on the same day. Genxiang is talking about the story of Liangshan 108 generals, chivalrous brothers. Half a handful of majestic incense refers to the 46 generals of Wagang Mountain, half of whom voted for Tang, and half of them did not vote for Tang. The benevolence and righteousness of Yangzuo, the loyalty of Taoyuan, the foundation of Liangshan, and the majesty of Wagang are combined into the basic spirit of the Hongmen Triad. ”

Xipin was confused and couldn't hear a clue.

Gong Ren nodded: "What is the founding of the Hongmen Triad, how did it develop to this day, and what will happen in the future, I want to hear it clearly?" ”

Wang Longtou said: "It seems that you don't understand anything! Alright, alright, now I'm going to give you some scriptures. All the new triads are here, don't look at you don't ask anything, don't ask anything, you don't necessarily understand everything. You all have to learn from this tough brother, ask if you don't understand, don't pretend to understand, and listen together. ”

All the new Triad members also pricked up their ears and listened.

Wang Dayan said: "Zheng Chenggong's Hong Gang, along with the Qing Gang and the White Lotus Sect, are all current anti-Qing and Ming restoration organizations, known as the three major groups on the rivers and lakes, that is, the commonly known red flowers, green leaves, and white lotus roots. Hongmen was built by Zheng Chenggong to open Jintai Mountain and Liming Yuntang, and the purpose of Hongmen is to hold high the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. After the defeat of the Honghua Pavilion in the 13th year of Kangxi, Hongmen discussed scattering everywhere, developing separately, and established five ancestral halls to expand and retain the strength of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

Changfang 'Biao' word flag, built by the ancestor Cai Dezhong, developed in Fujian, Gansu, for the 'Ji Biao' flag, the flag is black, Taiwan's Hongmen, also belongs to this branch, the name Qingliantang, Phoenix County, also known as 'Emperor Will', the poem is: 'Fujian Wuqi first, Gansu uprising began to open the foundation, Biao word Jinlan spread all over the world, who dares to bully the nine rivers and mountains. ’

Three-room 'Huhe' word flag, the flag is red, built by the former ancestor Emperor Hude, developed in Sichuan and Yunnan, for the "Huhe" name, the famous Houtang, Lianzhang County, also known as 'Brother Robe', the poem is: 'The third branch of the Yunnan Red Flag, the Sichuan uprising to destroy Hu'er, the synthesis of the Hong word for the secret memory, the monarch and the minister have their own peace. ’

The four-room 'Huhe' word flag, the flag is white, built by the former Zuma Chaoxing, developed in Hunan and Hubei, and is the name of the 'Huhe', which is known as Taitang and Jinxiang County, also known as the 'Elders' Association. The poem is exactly that: 'The fourth branch of the Huguang White Flag, Jiangnan and Guizhou are the same flag, and the word swore to revolt and restore the enthronement of the lord of the country. ’

Five-room 'Hutong' word flag, flag green, built by the former ancestor Li Shikai, developed in Zhejiang, Qin's 'Hutong' name, named Honghuatang, Dexing County, also known as 'Little Knife Society'. The poem is the fifth branch of the Zhejiang green flag, the Shandong brothers secretly supported each other, sacrificed this flag to the uprising, and reverted to the reunion of the Ming Dynasty. ’

Our two-room 'Hushou' flag triad, the flag is red, it is built by the former ancestor Dahong, developed in Guangdong and Guangxi, and is the name of "Hong Hushou", named Hong Shuntang, Jinlan County, also known as 'triad', and developed in the two Guangxi areas. The poem is the second branch of the red flag in Guangdong, when Gaoxi separates the two Hu, the foundation of the word longevity is forty-nine, and the forty-nine changes depend on each other. ’

Okay, okay, don't talk about it, you can't remember it if you say too much, now the red stick announces 10 articles and 10 paragraphs, that is, our military discipline, the new members of the union have remembered, if you violate military discipline, don't blame me for being polite, we will be severely punished. ”

The red stick held the gesture of 319, as if facing the surging Yellow River, the rolling Yangtze River, the dense woods, the hard dock workers, the tired farmers, and the pawns of the peddlers and pawns of the teahouse and wine shop, and said loudly: "The internal rules are 10 major rules, one is to serve the country loyally, the second is to be filial to parents, the third is to be orderly among the elders and the young, the fourth is to be harmonious with neighbors, the fifth is to be righteous, the sixth is to emphasize benevolence, the seventh is to respect each other with uncles and sisters-in-law, the eighth is to be brothers and brothers, the ninth is to abide by the incense rules, and the tenth is mutual trust and mutual assistance." The 10 taboos are: first, it is forbidden to commit adultery and domineering, second, it is forbidden to molest women, third, it is forbidden to betray one's fellow brothers, fourth, it is forbidden to cross the border and escape, fifth, it is forbidden to quarrel with others, sixth, it is forbidden to divulge secrets, seventh, it is forbidden to overly apostasy, eighth, it is forbidden to use the big to suppress the small, nineth, it is forbidden to gather crowds to make trouble, and tenth, it is forbidden for the official to send to the hall. ”

……

After the meeting was dismissed, Gong Ren saw that some of the members of the Triad were fiddling with their weapons, some of the members were sitting on the ground with their eyes closed and resting, and the bamboo forest was sent by Wang Long's head to guard the pedestrians walking by the bamboo forest.

Gong Ren pulled Xipin to Zhang San's side, and saw Zhang San untie a cloth bag from his waist, untie his mouth, and fiddle with the iron sand in the cloth bag. Gong Ren touched his earthen spear and asked, "How do you do this?" ”

Zhang San shook his thin waist, which was not much thicker than the mouth of the bowl, pursed his mouth, revealed a high tooth bed and said: "This trick is easy to learn, you will know if I put iron sand on it." He poured some gunpowder and a handful of iron sand into the barrel of the gun, pounded it with an iron bar, put a small rag on the muzzle of the gun, and then smashed it with an iron bar. Pulling the bolt of the gun, he took out a piece of bubble paper from his bosom and said: "Put the bubble, pull the trigger, the bubble will be on fire, ignite the gunpowder, and push the iron sand out." As long as you hit it, you have to paste dozens of sand on him, and you won't be able to pick it out when you want to. ”

Gong Ren shook his head and said, "It's too troublesome, if these two sides exchange fire, before you release the second shot, the enemy will be killed long ago." Zhang San said: "Who said no, it's better to play this trick." As he spoke, he took a big blade that shook brightly and let Gong Ren see it. Gong Ren took the big blade from his hand, and when he looked closer, the knife could shine brightly. Gong Ren swung vigorously at a bamboo tree, and the bamboo pole with the thickness of his finger was cut off at the waist, and a bamboo leaf flew everywhere. Gong Ren said: "The knife is a good knife, but if we don't wait for us to cut people, people's guns will already hit us." Zhang San said: "Who said no, there is a real German Mauser in Liss over there, which is very powerful." Xipin pulled Gongren and said, "Let's go, let's go over there and take a look." ”

The two of them walked up to Li Si, who was leaning against a small tree, his eyes closed, and a fast gun standing next to him. Gong Ren was about to reach out to touch it, but Li Si suddenly blocked Gong Ren's hand and said, "Don't move, there is fire." Gong Ren said, "Aren't you asleep?" Lees said, "As long as you do what we do, you can sleep with one eye open." Gong Ren said, "Can't I see it?" Li Si stood up suddenly, and held the fast gun in his water snake waist and arms at once, protecting it tightly. His waist is particularly bent, and the straight fast gun just forms a curved bow.

Li Si said with great contempt: "You've only been here for a few days, and you want to touch this fast gun?" I took it from a Qing soldier, and it was with this gun that I became one of the few who had a quick gun. Look at what a good gun this is!" Li Si pulled the bolt of the gun as if complimentingly, and Gong Ren saw that in the black oil magazine, a few yellow and yellow inch-long things were exposed. Gong Ren asked again: "Why did you put the brush stick in it?" Li Si looked down on Gong Ren even more, raised his head, and sneered: "What kind of eyes, still playing with eagles?" Go home and coax the kids to go. ”

Gong Ren blushed with shame. Xipin said unconvinced: "You've only been playing with guns for a few days, so you laugh at others." Gong Ren plays with the pen, much better than you. ”

At this time, Li Si seemed to be deliberately greedy, pulling the bolt of the gun, loading the bullet, putting fire on the top, aiming, and pretending to release the gun. Gong Ren wanted to touch the gun again, and Li Si held the gun in his arms again. Gong Ren pleaded and said: "You and I are both members of the Triad, and we are both our own people, can't you teach me to let go of the gun?" Li Si pursed his lips, sighed and said, "You are different from me, you are a scholar, and you must be more popular than me." Look at the dragon's head like that, holding you is like a pearl in the night, holding me like a radish tassel. ”

Xipin said: "Li straw shoes, it's always okay to teach me to put a gun, right?" Li Si smiled again: "A girl's family, what is not good to learn, don't learn to put a gun, just look at your little feet, can you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" You cook for us, sew and mend our clothes. As he spoke, his two eyes stared straight at Xipin's three-inch golden lotus.

Xipin was so angry that he saw that his face was feverish, and he hurriedly stepped back with his two feet, trying to hide them.

Gong Ren asked: "Li straw shoes, what are we doing here?" Li Si looked at no one on the left and right, and whispered to Gong Ren: "This is a military secret, let me tell you, you must not tell others!" Let's carry out the orders of the general association and participate in one of the cannons...... What an uprising. ”

Wang Longtou happened to pass by, slapped Li Si, and reprimanded: "Li straw shoes, look at you are still talking nonsense, just such a little secret, you will shake away." Li Si said: "A quilt kicks his ass, no outsiders, sooner or later he doesn't know." ”

Wang Longtou laughed when he heard this, and said: "We are all big and rough here, how rough only my mother-in-law knows, and we lack a pen." Li straw shoes, let me tell you, Gongren and Xipin will be brought by you, give them the ability, protect them well, if something happens, I will ask you. ”

Li Si stretched his neck helplessly and nodded.

Gong Ren calmly asked Wang Longtou: "Wang Longtou, Xipin and I are also members of the gang, there is a sentence I don't know if I should ask?" Wang Longtou laughed and said: "The family doesn't speak two words, you can ask if you have something, right?" Gong Ren said: "The incident at the mouth of Xijiazhuang, robbery is robbery, but I don't agree with killing those eleven people?" ”

Wang Longtou was slightly stunned when he heard this: "When will I kill eleven people?" The boy asked me just now, saying that I had robbed a large amount of treasure. I have to ask, what the hell is going on? ”

Gong Ren was shocked: "Didn't you just say that you did the bloody case at the intersection of Xijiazhuang?" ”

Wang Longtou laughed: "I was blinded by you just now, there is no such thing at all, I am the big one, you really believe it." What the hell is going on, you have to explain it to me. ”

Gong Ren was suspicious in his heart, but since Wang Longtou wanted to ask, he had to tell him about his wrongdoing, but he had an extra heart and did not reveal the secrets of the snooping in the mountains......

When camping at night, Gong Ren felt that the triad was really in big trouble.
