CHAPTER XLIII

Yun Zhong asked again: "I have heard that the 'Five Ancestors of Shaolin' Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Ma Chaoxing, Hu Dedi, and Li Shikai are also the Five Ancestors of Hongmen, I don't know if this matter is real, or is it made up by later generations?"

He Shouyuan said: "Shaolin Temple is famous for its martial arts, and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was jealous of them, so he ordered the monks of Shaolin Temple to expedition to the Western Regions. He also sent troops to burn down the Shaolin Temple, and many monks in the temple escaped. Among them, Chen Jinnan organized the Heaven and Earth Society, wanting to cultivate forces to seek revenge, and sent his five subordinate generals Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Ma Chaoxing, Hu Dedi, Li Shikai, etc. to set up a branch, which is the so-called 'first five ancestors' of Hongmen. Later, these five people rebuilt Southern Shaolin in Fujian, so later monks respected the five of them as the 'Five Ancestors of Shaolin'. ”

Yun Zhong smiled: "I can't imagine that there are some famous people in Hongmen?"

He Shouyuan said proudly: "Although my Hongmen is an underworld, I also know how to protect my family and defend the country. In that year, Mr. Sun Yat-sen joined Hongmen in Honolulu, USA, and was named 'Hongbang'. Later, our Hongmen bowed to the revolutionary cause of the motherland, so Hongmen was also regarded as the 'mother of revolution' by overseas Chinese. In addition to Mr. Sun Yat-sen, Marshal Zhu De also joined a small branch of Hongmen, the Brotherhood, so Marshal Zhu can also be regarded as a member of our Hongmen. ”

Yun Chong said: "Then why haven't you heard of the name of Hongmen since the founding of the People's Republic of China, has it been disbanded?"

He Shouyuan said: "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hongmen moved from the ground to the underground to manage some dark organizations for the country, so as not to endanger the country's security, so ordinary people don't know. And now the main hall of Hongmen is not in the country, but in Honolulu in the United States. ”

Yun Chong said: "Could it be that this Xiao Ding is actually an item of Hongmen?" With such a big force as Hongmen, it is not surprising that it can get such a treasure. And He Shouyuan is a descendant of the eldest brother of Hongmen, so he should be able to take out a small tripod from Hongmen.

He Shouyuan said: "This is exactly what Hongmen is doing. Before my father became critically ill, he intended to pass on the position of the eldest brother of Hongmen to me, and several other elders also thought that I had some skills, but my father knew that I was only interested in antiques, so he did not force me to change. After my father died of illness, I packed up some of my father's relics and left Hongmen, and this Xiaoding was one of my father's relics. Then he said, "I have been studying hard for decades without any results, Xiaoyou's attainments in this area are far better than ordinary people, I don't know if I can know its origin?"

Yun Zhong said: "I have to take a closer look at this." Then he walked in front of Xiao Ding and took a closer look.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this small ding is just an antique. But Yun Zhong couldn't feel a little old breath from it, which was a little strange. Yun Zhong picked up Xiao Ding and looked inside Xiao Ding. The bottom of the small tripod is in the shape of a ball, and the top is in the shape of a cylinder. This tripod is too small, and the inside of the tripod is only six or seven centimeters deep. But it was this depth of six or seven centimeters that made Yun Chong feel strange. Because Yun Zhong felt that there seemed to be a huge space inside Xiaoding.

The center of the cloud center moved, could it be that this Xiaoding was actually a fairy treasure. There is a formation inside, which hides its original size. So Yun Zhong spread his divine sense to the inside of the ding. As soon as he touched the inside of the ding, he was bounced back, and Yun Zhong knew that he had encountered a very powerful formation. Sure enough, as he guessed, the formation that could make him deflated was also a great formation. Yun Zhong couldn't help but exclaim, "Good baby!"

He Shouyuan was surprised when he heard his words, thinking that he had learned the secret of this Xiao Ding, so he asked excitedly: "Do you know the secret of Xiao Ding? "After decades of waiting, it is finally coming true today, how can He Shouyuan not be excited.

Yun Chong only found out that He Shouyuan was still beside him at this time, and said, "Although I don't know the origin of this Xiaoding yet, I already know that it is a rare treasure. ”

He Shouyuan asked suspiciously: "Baby? What baby? Could it be the Ding of the Shang Dynasty or the Xia Dynasty?" ”

Yun Zhong naturally can't be said to be a fairy baby. So he thought for a while and said: "The preciousness of this tripod lies not in its age, but in its function. But what exactly does it do, now I don't know. Yun Zhong said, even if I know it, I can't tell you. Then you don't think I'm a god, call the police and arrest me, and then I'll be wronged.

This Xiao Ding is very likely to be the Ding of the Immortal Alchemy, and such a Ding staying by He Shouyuan's side is undoubtedly a time bomb. The most important thing is that Yun Zhong is now lacking a good alchemy furnace, and it just so happens that this Xiao Ding is useless to He Shouyuan, so he just needs to use it himself. Yun thought about the wording for a while, and then said, "I have a reluctant request, I hope you will always think about it." ”

He Shouyuan was also stunned, and then asked, "What's the matter, just say it." As long as I can do it, I will help you do it. ”

Yun Zhong said: "This Xiaoding has no effect in your hands, and it may also bring you death." And it happens to be useful to me, so I want to ask you for it. You can open the price casually, and I will definitely not bargain. "Money in the world is worthless in Yun Chong's eyes. If he got Baoding, he naturally wouldn't treat He Shouyuan's family badly.

He Shouyuan didn't react for a while, and then asked slowly, "Do you want this Xiaoding?"

Yun nodded emphatically.

He Shouyuan sank his head and thought hard for a long time. Finally said: "I hit it off with my little friend, although this tripod is extraordinary, but I am also willing to give it to you." But I would like to ask Xiaoyou to figure out the age and function of Xiaoding, and tell me about them. As for the price, you should not mention it in the future. "As an antique lover, there's nothing more distressing than knowing it's an antique without knowing its value. He Shouyuan is one of them. As for the money that is not rich, He Shouyuan would not have spent so much money to buy antiques if he cared.

Yun Chong saw that people only had such a request, and he was really a little embarrassed. So he secretly took out three Tonifying and Nourishing Qi Pills from the bell space, and then quietly crushed them into pieces, casually found a piece of paper on He Shouyuan's table and wrapped it and handed it to He Shouyuan. Then he said: "You are so generous, I can't be stingy." I've got some tea leaves here that you can drink with water. Keep you alive for a long time. "Don't live a long life. If you keep drinking the water soaked in the Nourishing Qi Pill, it is not impossible to live forever.
