Chapter 29: Yuan Qingnan enters Hongmen(1/2)
There are four restaurants in Sai Kung. Lei Yaoyang is celebrating a little for taking over Da Fei.
In Tseung Kwan O, not far from Sai Kung, a big event was happening at this time.
In a quaint and dilapidated house, numerous memorial tablets were placed side by side. In front of the memorial tablets, there were incense candles and paper money, making it filled with smoke.
The spiritual throne is roughly divided into four levels.
The first level: Patriarch Bodhidharma sat quietly and realized Zen. The heart is the root. Sins arise from the heart and are destroyed from the heart. All good and evil arise from the heart.
Next is a statue of Guan Gong reading the Spring and Autumn Period at night, with a sheep's horn on the right and Zuo Bopai on the left.
Below: Consecrate the 108 generals of Liangshan Bo.
The last layer: there are wooden spiritual tablets with lists written in bright red fonts.
At this time, both sides of the room were full of people, most of them were elderly people in their fifties and above, and there were only three or five people under fifty.
Hong Xing Jiang Tiansheng, Hong Ying Jiang Quan, Hong Le Piao Ge and others are among them.
"Let's get started!"
After someone said something, an old man with a red scarf on his head and a wrinkled face stood up and shouted:
"Open the altar!"
Upon hearing this, everyone sitting there stood up and stood solemnly.
"Three bows!"
The old man shouted again.
Immediately, with him taking the lead, everyone bowed to the hundreds of spiritual tablets three times before they were done.
The faces of everyone present were full of sincerity, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, as if what they were worshiping was not a spiritual tablet but a stranger.
After paying homage, he stood for three full minutes before the old man continued to host and said loudly:
"Everyone, please take your seats, the newcomers are entering!"
Everyone sat back on their chairs, but all looked towards the door.
At this moment, a tall and burly figure appeared at the door. Seeing his appearance, many people sitting there frowned.
Brother Hong Lepiao immediately spoke and asked the person sitting opposite:
"Zhong Zhen, what do you mean, you let so many of us come to hold a forum just for a Japanese!"
Who is Zhong Zhen?
Also belonging to the prefix Hong, it is the seat of Hongyi Society in Hong Kong Comprehensive City.
Hearing Brother Piao's question, Zhong Zhen said with a fake smile:
"Brother Piao, our Hongmen welcomes talents from all over the world, regardless of country. I would like to ask you what you mean by this. Do you look down on your Japanese brothers?"
"So what, the little devil is still a human being!"
Brother Piao stood up suddenly and said very dissatisfied.
Immediately, another old man who looked to be in his sixties and had slightly white hair spoke:
"Apiao, according to the ancestral rules, when Hongmen opens the altar, all three families can recommend it. Those who enter Hongmen are blood brothers. Today's conference is held by our three families, Hong'an, Hongyi, and Hongfu. It is in line with the rules. You
Making such a scene on the altar is disrespectful to our ancestors."
Although this old man is old, he is not simple either. He is none other than Uncle Dog, the leader of Hong'an.
"Uncle Big Dog, I respect you as a senior, and I don't want to argue with you. I also hope that you will do what a senior should do, and don't lead wolves into the house just for a small profit."
"Talk about me as a sample? I'm afraid you are old fools! This is a Japanese!"
Brother Piao showed no weakness and spoke angrily.
"Apiao, sit down!"
At this time, Hong Ying and Jiang Quan spoke. He first greeted Brother Piao, then looked at Uncle Dog opposite, and said in an indifferent tone:
"Big dog, if you want to take advantage of your seniority and dominate others, I can play with you."
"A Piao usually doesn't speak well, but I think what he said today is right. The three of you have raised a family together, and you have just introduced a Japanese like this. What does that mean?"
this…!
Jiang Quan is in the prefix "Hong" and has a very high seniority. He belongs to the generation of Jiang Tiansheng's father, Jiang Zhen.
Moreover, among Jiang Zhen's generation, he is also called elder brother.
Now when he spoke, Uncle Big Dog and Zhong Zhen felt a little embarrassed and found it inconvenient to speak.
For a moment, the scene froze.
And what happened today?
It is said that in the early days of the establishment of Hong Kong Comprehensive Market, whether it was "standing on its own feet" or "borrowing chickens to lay eggs", it was often named Hongmen.
They respect Hongmen as the authentic sect and tell the outside world that they are just a branch.
And you also want to create a Hongzitou, what should you do?
I don’t know about other places, but Hong Kong Comprehensive Market is very unique. Two words: "Open the altar!"
As long as the "Hong Zitou" of the three Hong Kong Comprehensive Markets recommend each other, they can recruit all the Hong Zitou bosses in the Hong Kong Comprehensive Market and open up the forum together.
As long as that person passes the test, he will be qualified to create Hong Zitou.
However, in the past ten years, the Hong Kong Comprehensive Market has not opened its forum again.
Because everyone is already the leader and doing things comfortably, no one wants one more person to compete for food.
It just so happened that today, Hong'an, Hongyi, and Hongfu held the ceremony together.
The person who came in was known to many of the leaders, and turned out to be Ao Ohara, the Yamaguchi-gumi.
This former young man, just one month after arriving in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market, was already wearing the skin of the Yamaguchi-gumi and visiting many Hongzi-headed leaders.
His purpose is very simple. He says he wants to help everyone turn the association into a business, so that they can make more money in the future and no longer be afraid of idleness.
Most leading figures are not fools. How could they believe Yuan Qingnan's words and assume that he has other motives?
In addition, he was a Japanese and was not loved by everyone, so Yuan Qingnan was rejected a lot.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Yuan Qingnan undoubtedly managed to get the three societies to cooperate.
Faced with everyone's dissatisfaction, Yuan Qingnan showed no signs of worry. He strode to the altar, bent down with his tall body, and bowed nine times to the spiritual tablet.
This time, everyone who was originally silent began to discuss in a low voice.
Nine is the number of poles in China, and it is the largest number anywhere in China.
Yuan Qingnan bowed nine times, which was undoubtedly the greatest respect for the Hongmen ancestors.
Putting aside the other things about Guyi, in the eyes of many bosses, this Japanese soldier's etiquette is so excellent that no one can fault him.
Yuan Qingnan swept away the many Hongmen bigwigs present and began to speak:
"Brother Hong Lepiao, dare to ask me why Yuan Qingnan can't join the Hongmen?"
"First of all, you are a Japs. We Hong Kong residents do not welcome Japs. You must know that after the Qing Dynasty is gone, our Hongmen ambition is to fight the Japs!"
"Secondly, you are a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, so you already have a club."
Brother Piao was unambiguous and was not afraid of the tall and mighty Yuan Qingnan, pointing directly at two paths.
"Hahaha!"
Yuan Qingnan laughed, stretched out two fingers, and said:
"First, Mr. Zuo Zhongzhengxiong, the 13th generation leader of Hongmen's Asian branch, is a native of our country."
"Second, Mr. Situ Feng, the sixth-generation general sect leader of the Hongmen, is also the co-respected deputy leader of the Qinggang."
Hearing Yuan Qingnan's words, Brother Piao was speechless, and many big shots took a breath.
This Japanese is really "prepared". The two examples he gave can answer his current question very well.
And the people he mentioned are all ancestors. If anyone has an opinion, it is undoubtedly disrespectful to the ancestors.
Yuan Qingnan showed no mercy when he gained power, looked at Jiang Quan with a half-smile, and asked:
"Master Hong Yingquan, what about you? Apart from these two problems, Brother Piao, do you have any other problems now?"
Jiang Quan looked serious, shook his head and said:
"No problem. Since the altar has been opened, okay, I will let you take the big test in front of the altar. If you pass, I respect the traditions of my ancestors. If you fail, please quit!"
Jiang Quan has no choice. Whatever he says now makes no sense, he can only place his hope in the altar test.
The Hongmen altar exam is not easy. In addition to martial arts, you also need to take a liberal arts exam.
Although there are so many big names with the word "Hong" here, when it comes to the real rigorous test, less than 10% of them can pass.
Today, when Jiang Quan and others are present, they will also ask questions, and they are absolutely extremely strict.
"Hospitality week after week enters the palace, and the honored guest enters the palace. If you are disrespectful, you need to forgive me. Please forgive me for the things you have not done. The rules are scattered and need guidance. There is no better way to enjoy the cool weather alone at the peak. All the kings come to the hall to drink tea. Know the guests and treat them accordingly.
