"The so-called swallow gate is the reputation of one of the thieves among the eight gates of the rivers and lakes. To put it bluntly, it is stealing, because the disciple of the sect is good at light body kung fu, and entering and exiting other people's houses is like a swallow returning to the nest, so it is called. ”

"This Li San still sounds very young, and he should have not become the head of the Swallow Sect yet."

This is Yu Honggang's statement.

As the heir of the family heirloom Xingyi Fist, he also has a lot of friendship with the martial arts, and he still knows a lot about the story of more than a hundred years ago.

Captain Yu continued: "There are many sayings about the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, such as the outer eight gates and the inner eight gates, the bright eight gates and the dark eight gates, and so on. In short, except for the inner eight sects, the others are roughly those professions that walk the rivers and lakes to catch the deviations, and they are mixed with the lower nine streams of the three religions and nine streams, so it is difficult for ordinary people to figure out the classification differences, even the people inside the eight doors are sometimes very confused. ”

Gao Jingfei has only seen some superficial introductions to the eight gates of the rivers and lakes from it, and he knows very little about them. So it sounds serious and curious about this.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Yu Honggang also explained:

"As the saying goes, there are three religions and nine streams, and most people don't know that there are eight rivers and lakes in addition to the 'three religions and nine streams', and there are actually records of capable people in the eight gates in the wild history of all dynasties."

"These eight sects are a bit like the demon sects that have been suppressed by decency, most of them hide their identities, maybe they live in seclusion outside the mountains, they can also log in to the temple, it is usually difficult for people to know their identities, the divine dragon sees the head but does not see the end, and the inheritance is different from the various factions of the martial arts in Middle-earth, and the eight gates still have a sect inheritance even today!"

Gao Jingkun is also very interested in this, but he is different from his younger brother Gao Jingfei's curiosity, because as a police detective, he has dealt with more or less three-class guys and knows the difficulty of those people, so he wants to know more about it.

"Team Yu will tell us more about it."

Yu Honggang was not stingy, and shared it directly with everyone:

"Let's talk about the eight gates of the rivers and lakes first, divided into the outer eight doors and the eight inner doors, as well as the eight bright doors and the dark eight doors, maybe some people who run the rivers and lakes know the eight doors of the rivers and lakes business, gold, skin, color, hanging, flat, group, tune, willow."

That is, those who tell fortunes face-to-face, sell fake medicines, conjure tricks, eat by martial arts, comment on stories, talk about cross talk, as well as the wild doctors who watch flower willow disease and sell big cigarettes, and the eight professions of quyi and opera. Because they live around everyone, although they have some skills to inherit, they don't hide much about their own professions, so they are called 'Ming Eight Gates'. ”

Gao Jingfei asked in time:

"What about the Dark Eight Gates?"

"Ming Bamen is a relatively upright walk in the rivers and lakes, generally these eight people have a little chivalrous, in the rivers and lakes can win everyone's respect, on the other hand, there are dark eight gates, that is, bees, hemp, swallows, finch, flowers, orchids, Ge, Rong."

"If it is explained that when Bamen is in the rivers and lakes, in order to protect himself, there will inevitably be some deceptive behavior, but generally speaking, it is a legal behavior in the old days, the government does not interfere, and it can be openly opened, and some transactions are also very prosperous in modern times. In contrast, the profession of the dark eight doors is an illegal act in the feudal era, and once the identity is made public, the government must also be strictly investigated. ”

Yu Honggang said this with disdain and disgust in his tone.

"In general, the dark eight doors are stealing, kidnapping, murder and arson, subdivided into eight doors according to the gang and the individual and the way of action, although there are a few that kind of chivalrous and righteous people, but the vast majority of them are to eat prison in modern times, there are a few people such as 'sparrow' Although this door is also a deception for business, but this one is very fierce, bee, hemp, swallow three door of scammers according to the rules of ancient times are strictly forbidden to kill, this door of swindlers but often seek money is not even to kill people, often kill people at every turn. Therefore, the gate is also called 'lack of door' on the rivers and lakes, that is, 'lack of virtue gate'. Among them, there are many people who are extremely guilty of five minutes of shooting! ”

Everyone present is a good person in a broad sense, especially except for the two advisors, Gao Jingfei and Little Daoist, who are all jealous and hateful law enforcers. Hearing this, of course, for the kind of existence in Yu Honggang's mouth, he couldn't wait to pull it out and shoot him for a few minutes, and he didn't get rid of his hatred.

"If it is explained that the Eight Gates and the Dark Eight Gates are easy for everyone to understand as the bandit professions of the mixed rivers and lakes and the green forest, then the Outer Eight Gates and the Inner Eight Gates are even more secretive."

Gao Jingfei answered at this time:

"I've seen this from the inside, it seems that the inner eight doors are frightened, tired, floating, book, wind, fire, jue, and want, and the outer eight doors are thieves, Gu, pins, phoenixes, thousands, witches, plays, and killing, right?"

Yu Honggang nodded and said:

"That's right, in the inner and outer eight gates, there are few acts of stealing and abduction, and the emphasis is on several learnings inherited from the hundreds of schools, including the Book of Changes, the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, Guiguzi and other classics, as well as Confucianism, Taoism and Feng Shui doctrine, etc., are all practices for people to govern the world, and they are also the kind of leaders in various industries."

"Usually the eight inner gates will hide their identities and integrate into all walks of life and all walks of life, and there is even no shortage of people in history who have appeared on the stage to worship the prime minister and become relatives of the nobles."

"The outer eight gates are not so particular, the Thief Gate, the Gu Gate, the Mechanism Gate, the Orchid Gate, the Thousand Gates, the Divine Tone Gate, the Red Handkerchief and the Soul Gate. In fact, it is the eight professions of thieves, Gu raisers, Gu practitioners, prostitutes, deceptionists, witchcrafters, tricksters, and killers. ”

"In the past, there was also the saying of 'five elements and three families', that is, the golden point, beggar, ringing horse, thief stealing, inverted bucket, walking the mountain, leading the fire, and collecting water Eight kinds of partial trades, also known as the outer eight gates, which are basically the same as the former, but there are slight differences."

"In addition to the most extensive door thieves and beggars, the golden point is a fortune teller, a ringing horse is a road robbery, a tomb robbery, a mountain deception, a fire is a trick, and water collection is an official prostitute. It seems that there are only eight trades, but in fact, these two outer eight doors almost include all the rivers and lakes on the fishing, generally with the lower nine classes of the three religions and nine streams as the surface identity, in order to cover up their true heritage, from ancient times to the present, almost all the rivers and lakes that have appeared are almost related to the two. ”

Hearing Yu Honggang's introduction, although it is only a few words, everyone can also understand the inside story and complexity of these rivers and lakes.

Zhang Jingsheng said: "In other words, that swallow Li San should be a thief from the outer eight gates, or it can be said that he is a person in the dark eight gates, right?" ”

Although the little Taoist priest was born in Xuanmen, Xuanmen has always been high, and he doesn't bother to record these at the bottom of the rivers and lakes, so he doesn't know a lot.

Yu Honggang nodded and said:

"Almost, but not entirely accurate, strictly speaking, Yanzimen is one of the eight thieves in the door, it is rumored that Yanzimen is mostly more decent and witty, pay attention to thieves and have a way, often rob the rich and help the poor, and help the poor, so the reputation among the people is so good. And most of the thieves in the dark are not good people. ”

"Because the behavior of the people of the Dark Eight Gates is more or less contrary to morality and the rules of the rivers and lakes, even the people in the rivers and lakes do not disdain to be with them, so most of them are groups of gangs that harm the people, similar to the thieves and liars gangs on our modern side. Either it is in the form of a family to commit a crime, but it is relatively rare to be a lone thief. ”

When Zhang Lin heard this, he sighed and said with questions:

"It seems that this Li San is really a thief, but I don't know how he can get mixed with the people of the heavenly kingdom? Didn't the Kingdom of Heaven start in the two Guangdong areas, and then develop to Huguang and Jiangnan? Li San has always been active in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Liaodong, and the difference between the two sides is a bit far, how did he get on the line? ”
