Chapter 64: Opening the Altar (Part II)
The more than twenty people sitting on both sides of the side hall turned their heads to look over, and Hei Xing also stopped talking and laughing, and looked up at the two people at the entrance of the side hall.
Brother Mu, one of the seven stars of Changle who was supposed to sit on Heixing's side today, stood on the left side of Heixing, and wore a white robe, a red hairband tied up on his forehead, and two streamers hanging on the left.
Heixing stood up with a smile, and smiled at the Jianghu people who came to watch the ceremony on the left and right:
"The one on the left is my rising star in Changle, Kwun Tong Fei Tsai Jun, and next to him is his left and right hand is also the head horse, Kwun Tong Chen Hao. ”
After saying this, he looked at Huo Dongjun in front of the door and shouted:
"Ah Jun, haven't you seen these uncles before? You uncles came to the countryside of Yuen Long in the morning just to support you. ”
Huo Dongjun bowed first from the last old man sitting on the right, and made Changle's fingerprints with both hands, and Heixing stood in place and was responsible for introducing:
"This is Uncle Shrimp with Qunle. ”
Most of the Jianghu people who are qualified to sit on both sides are the elders of a certain community or the Zha Fu people of a certain region, but among the more than 20 people, most of them are the older generation of Jianghu people, and their prestige is still there, but their strength may not be strong, only the three or four closest to the black star, Huo Dongjun really felt the aura of the big guy, sitting there, with a smile on his face, but it made people feel a fierce arrogance that no one else approached.
Jingyi drug lord Yaoyang, and Yongyi Chai Wan Zha Fu people black bones, the old man sitting next to Heixing has no prefix, he is the chairman of the Hengzhou Squire Committee in Yuen Long, and the head of the Hengzhou Lu clan Lu Bingrong.
Among these three people, Jingyi's Yaoyang is a drug dealer, and there is a special route in Thailand for drugs to enter Hong Kong, and even some sources of goods from Japan are provided by him.
Black bones, and Yongyi Chai Wan bigwig, thirty-seven years old, dark face, dock workers, the business done by black bones in the rivers and lakes people, is absolutely right, building decoration and sand and gravel business, and the rivers and lakes on the side door is not touched at all, is the disdain of the people in the rivers and lakes, let the black bones flourish, Chai Wan 82 years of new eighteen residential buildings, black bones rely on forced buying and selling to win the decoration business of fifteen buildings, become a famous rich man in the rivers and lakes, worth nearly 10 million, for a time many people in the rivers and lakes have passed the file with the black bones.
The last old man surnamed Lu, Huo Dongjun believes that it is more powerful than the first two, because the entire aborigines of the New Territories do not trust the British and the Hong Kong government, they prefer to believe in the management of the family, so the major surnames in the New Territories have their own ancestral halls and patriarchs, who are responsible for taking care of the affairs of each family, and the patriarchs and elders of several major clans have joined forces to set up a squire committee to increase the family's voice in the region. Officials, then these officials must be members of the family under the jurisdiction of the Squire Committee, and the real ruler of Yuen Long is not those officials on the surface, but the chairman of the Squire Committee in front of him, Lu Bingrong, who is on crutches and makes people feel chills even when he laughs.
After seeing a group of people watching the ceremony, Huo Dongjun heard the footsteps outside the hall, and when he turned his head to look, the expression on his face stopped for a moment.
It was Chen Dong who came in.
Huo Dongjun looked at Heixing, Heixing was still smiling at this time, and he couldn't see any clues, Ah Wu had already said at the door again:
"Big guy, Wan Chai Sijiu Tsai Chen Dong has arrived!"
Black Star was naturally the same set of procedures just now, helping Chen Dong introduce the people who were watching the ceremony, Huo Dongjun found that although Chen Dong had a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold as frost.
Huo Dongjun sighed in his heart, Black Star is really a kind, it is more than putting himself as a fort, Zhong wants to involve Chen Dong in this matter, Chen Dong has been waiting for the opportunity to take up his post, but he is not waiting for the position of white paper fan, and the knife boy Hao and Jixiang, who entered at the same time as him, are already red sticks, Chen Dong has always been arrogant, how can he bear it.
Regardless of whether Chen Dong hates Black Star or hates himself, if he is promoted to Red Stick this time, Chen Dong will no longer be able to have the same heart for himself as before.
Brother Mu walked in again from the small door at the back of the hall, this time standing beside Black Star, and said directly to everyone in the side hall:
"The entrance of Changle Xiangtang has been opened, please let me sit in Changle and move with the brothers. ”
A group of bigwigs in Changle led by Heixing got up one after another and walked towards the small door at the back of the hall, while the Jianghu people who watched the ceremony waited for a group of bigwigs in Changle to get up before they walked towards the small door at the end, leaving only Huo Dongjun, Chen Hao, and Chen Dong standing in place.
"I never thought you'd come. Huo Dongjun glanced at Chen Dong and said.
The corners of Chen Dong's mouth tugged for a moment, and he reluctantly laughed: "If you dare not come, Uncle Wen asked me to tie up a white paper fan and tie it up for you." ”
Chen Hao's expression was very wonderful after listening to Chen Dong's words, Brother Jun is naturally a red stick, and now Chen Dong said that it was a white paper fan, so isn't he a straw sandal?
Hearing the whispers of the three people, Brother Mu, who had never entered the small door, shouted: "Silence! ”
Huo Dongjun and the three of them followed Brother Mu to the small door, and when they arrived at the door, the three of them saw clearly, it turned out that the small door was a closed room, not even a window, only this small door entrance, at this time, the left and right sides of the secret room were already full of people from the rivers and lakes who had just entered, no one spoke, under the light of the dim candle flame at what time, they were still talking and laughing outside, but at the moment they were not smiling in the dark, and the gangsters looked a little more mysterious.
"I can't enter the city until I give the order. After Brother Mu stood outside the door and whispered, he walked in by himself, he was the altar master of this Changle opening altar, responsible for everything.
As Brother Mu walked into the secret room, two big men flashed out of it, blocking the small door with their arms crossed, and staring at the three of them with blazing eyes.
Huo Dongjun knew that the identity of these two people at this time was Hongmen disciple Tianyou Hong, this small gate is the entrance of Hongmen Hall, at this time, the three people guarding Hongmen guarded the Hongmen, just waiting for the order to come, the three of them stepped into Hongmen and entered this hall, that is, they were Hongmen brothers, and when they came out again, they were the identity of Hongmen Changle Dadi.
After Brother Mu entered the secret room, there was a middle-aged woman at the altar in the center, who was a female disciple of Changle, who played the role of the maid of the Hongmen Altar at this time, and when she saw Brother Mu coming, she said loudly:
"Respectfully the altar master!"
Brother Mu first paid respectful incense to the god's position, and then took a knife and a stick held by the maid, and enshrined them on the altar, with words in his mouth: "The knife is a Hongmen knife, and the stick is a dragon and phoenix stick. ”
The whole altar is as high as three layers, the highest layer is dedicated to the shrine of Sheep Horn Wai and Zuo Botao, the middle layer is dedicated to the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, and the lowest layer is the tablet of the 38 ancestors of Hongmen, including:
The five ancestors of Hongmen: Yin Hongsheng, Fu Qingzhu, Gu Yanwu, Huang Lizhou, Wang Chuanshan.
The Five Sects of Hongmen: "Wenzong" Shi Kefa, "Wuzong" Zheng Chenggong, "Xuanzong" Chen Jinnan, "Dazong" Wan Yunlong, and "Weizong" Tianyouhong.
The first five ancestors: Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Hude, Dima, Chaoxing, Li Shikai
Middle five ancestors: Yang Pingyou, Fang Huicheng, Wu Tiancheng, Lin Dajiang, Zhang Jingzhi
Later five ancestors: Li Shidi, Hong Tai Sui, Wu Tianyou, Lin Yongchao, Yao Bida
Five meanings: Zheng Junda, Xie Bangheng, Huang Changcheng, Wu Tinggui, Zhou Hongying
Five Heroes: Zheng Daodao, Zheng Daofang, Han Long, Han Hu, Li Changguo
Sanying: Guo Xiuying, Zheng Yulan, Zhong Wenjun
The dense yellow paper and red-letter tablets that occupy the three-story altar make the three Huo Dongjun at the door have an illusory feeling, as if they returned to the Qing Dynasty in an instant, and the Hongmen disciples formed an alliance together.
At this time, Brother Mu had already turned around and led the elders of Changle, including Black Star, to kneel down and salute to the altar, and even the people from the rivers and lakes who watched the ceremony also came out and knelt down, even that Lu Bingrong knelt on the ground tremblingly, Brother Mu knelt in front of the altar and said to the tablet of the god lord:
"On the day of the month of Bingyin in the year of Jiazi, Hongmen Changle reopened the incense hall, and now there is the incense master Black Star, the altar master wood ghost, and the maid Han Ying, who held a promotion ceremony for my Changle disciples, and invited me to witness the martyrs of Hongmen!
After the salute to the tablet of the god lord, all the big guys returned to their original positions and gave way to the passage from the altar to the small door, Brother Mu turned around and said to the two Tianyouhong at the door: "The wind word is the first this time, and the altar master passed down the wind word poem: Say that I am the wind not the wind, the five-colored flag is in the fight, the dragon, tiger, turtle and snake on the left, and the tiger Shouhe and the same on the right! The auspicious time has arrived! Take the horse into the city!"
The two Tianyou Hongs agreed loudly, and at the same time dodged their bodies, let go of the small door, and shouted at the three of them: "Please enter the city!"
Huo Dongjun and the three walked to the altar, bowed down and saluted, Brother Mu took out three incense sticks, each awarded one, the three of them raised the incense horizontally above their heads, Brother Mu turned around and took off the Hongmen knife on the altar, raised his hands above his head, and said to the three of them:
"This knife is an extraordinary knife, made in the furnace of Laojun in the past.
Seventy-seven cycles of holy fire refining can be refined into three swords.
The head is in Guan Gong's hand, and it is named Qinglong Yanyue Knife.
The second fell into the hands of the King of Jin and was named the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Three fell into Hong Ying's hands, and the name was originally a knife to remove traitors.
There is benevolence and righteousness, and Jin Lan is together, there is no benevolence and no righteousness, three knives and six eyes!"
After finishing speaking, he stepped forward, slapped Huo Dongjun, the first of the three, on the back with the blade of the knife, and asked sharply:
"Love brothers and sisters or love gold?"
Huo Dongjun held the fragrance high and did not move, and roared in his mouth: "Love brothers and sisters!"
Chen Dong, who ranked second, and Chen Hao, who ranked third, also answered the same when they were slapped on the back by the knife.
The waitress next to him handed over a rooster, and Brother Mu brought it over, holding a knife in his left hand, and recited the "poem of cutting the phoenix" to the three of them:
"The wind phoenix was born with four heads, and all the lakes and seas returned. There is benevolence and righteousness, and the blessing and misfortune are the same, take off the sweater and change the purple clothes!"
After speaking, the knife fell to the ground, the maid took out the white porcelain bowl that had been filled with seven points of liquor, and took the chicken blood that flowed out, Huo Dongjun and the three of them knelt forward, holding the fragrance in their hands and not moving, opening their lips and letting Brother Mu pop a drop of blood wine into everyone's mouth.
When the blood wine of the three people entered their throats, the waitress packed up the rooster and blood wine, and took out the mahogany sticks, straw-soled shoes, and white paper fans needed to represent the promotion of the third and first champions, and stood beside Brother Mu, who held the dragon and phoenix stick in his arms, stood on the altar and shouted:
"Huo Dongjun, a disciple of Hongmen Chang Optimistic Tangyuehua Street, has actually given the position of 426 Red Stick, and he will be promoted!"
"Chen Dong, a disciple of Taihe Street in Causeway Bay, Changle, Hongmen, has been awarded the position of 415 white paper fan, promoted!"
"Hongmen Chang is optimistic about Chen Hao, a disciple of Tangyuehua Street, who is actually awarded the position of 432 straw sandals, and promoted!"
