Chapter 140
Looking at this tedious and orderly opening ceremony, Lei Hong and Xue Yi couldn't help but admire it. Compared with Hongmen, the so-called gang organizations in China are simply like dog meat.

Xue Yi at the back gave Lin Fan a gentle tug, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to worship the mountain gate? Go there now?"

"I have my own opinion, let's see it first." Lin Fan smiled, and it's not time to worship the mountain gate yet.

After the first step of opening the altar is completed, the next step is the second step: passing on newcomers, which is one of the main purposes of opening the incense hall.

In Nanyang, the living conditions of the Chinese are not very good. Although a considerable number of Chinese have become rich through their own hard work, they have no social status, and whenever there is a conflict in the country, those aborigines will transfer the conflict to the Chinese. They plundered the wealth of the Chinese through riots to appease social conflicts.

The difficult situation has made the local Chinese more united, and they can only resist the attacks of those lazy aborigines by huddling together.

The Hongmen, an ancient organization, has existed since the first generation of Nanyang immigrants. Relying on strict organization and united slogans, they have won the local Chinese together and formed a force that cannot be underestimated.

In the previous riots in which the Chinese were persecuted, the Hongmen appeared as the leader of the resistance. Their members fought to protect their relatives from harm. Because of this, the Hongmen has a particularly high prestige among the local Chinese.

Every year, the Hongmen recruits fresh blood from local youths. It can be said that the Hongmen is almost an underground government of the Chinese here, and has quite a wide influence.

Therefore, it is a big event for the Hongmen to accept disciples here. Many local Chinese celebrities will participate in this ceremony, and the local people will also gather in Guandi Temple to watch the excitement.

At this moment, Mr. Li was sitting at the top, with two big men standing on the left and right, and at the bottom was the white paper fan wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The white paper fan yelled: "Bring the newcomer."

Outside, more than 30 young people lined up together and walked out with their heads held high.

Standing at the entrance of the temple is a big man with tattoos all over his body, his upper body is half exposed, and a red scarf is tied on his head. The place in the ceremony is named "Tianyouhong", who is used to guard the door and is in charge of interrogation.

According to the rules, to join Hongmen, an introducer must be introduced. The recommender proves that he has a clean family background and his own affairs, and first registers his name in the meeting, and the Xiangchang and Wuye, who is in charge, teach the rules and etiquette of the meeting, and the person in charge informs him to come. Xiangtang fulfills the membership oath.

These young people who were newly joined knelt before God, and "God Bless Hong" asked, "Why did you come here?"

Everyone replied in unison: "I would like to come here as a brother of the Hong family."

Tianyou Hong asked again: "Who taught you?"

The group of young people answered loudly in unison: "Out of my own intention."

Then, Tianyou Hong asked again: "Who brought in."

The crowd kneeling below shouted: "Bringed in by the sponsor Li Shankui, who is currently sitting at the gate of Samar Island."

Tianyou Hong turned to Master Li who was sitting at the top and asked, "Did you introduce these people?"

Master Li nodded and replied, "Yes."

God Bless Hong turned around again, and asked everyone, "Do you know the rules of Hongmen?"

The next group of people replied: "It's all about brother Cheng and thanks to brothers' precepts."

Tianyouhong then asked: "After entering the meeting, if you break the terms, you will have to wash your body, aren't you afraid?"

Kneeling people said decisively: "If you violate the terms, have adultery, or be unfaithful, you are willing to be punished with three swords and six eyes."

Tian Youhong's face became more and more serious, and he asked coldly: "Brothers eat three decimeters of rice and seven cents of sand, can you suffer like this?"

The faces of the kneeling people became more and more solemn: "Brother can bear it, so can I."

God Bless Hong had finished his cross-examination at this point, he turned to Master Li and said, "In that case, let him swear at sea."

At this time, the participants swear to the statue: "Since I belong to Hong, if I have half-hearted intentions in the future, or collude with others, or sell Liangshan privately, or don't show loyalty, I will die by the sword in the future, and I will be hacked by a thousand swords."

Under this series of cross-examinations, the atmosphere in the arena was very solemn, and the surrounding crowd was also completely silent, and they all consciously kept quiet.

After the newcomer passed the customs, the third ceremony began, called 36 oaths, where the deacon, the red stick, that is, the strong man standing on both sides of Mr. Li, came out to distribute a stick of fragrance, and the newcomer held the fragrance over his head.

The deacon Hong Chou raised a big knife, patted the newcomer with the back of the knife, and loudly told the Hongmen 36 oaths and 72 cases, if they violated, they would be punished by the family law.

The first oath since entering Hongmen, your parents are my parents, your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, your wife is my sister-in-law, your son is my son and niece, if you break the oath, I will kill you.

The second vow is that if there are parents and brothers who have lived for a hundred years and have no money to bury them, if a white silk flies to them and asks for help, they will immediately tell those who have money to contribute money and those who have no money to contribute.

The third swears that the overseas Hong family brothers in all provinces, regardless of whether they are scholars, farmers, businessmen, or visitors from the world, must stay for one night and two meals.

The fourth oath is that the brothers of the Hong family, although they don't know each other, will die under ten thousand knives if they don't know each other when they show their names and talk about speculation.

Fifth oath, father, son, brothers, and six relatives and four relatives shall not speak privately about matters related to the Hong family. Anyone who flattens the waist of the shirt with the background, teaches privately, or is greedy for money will die under ten thousand knives .

……

……

After the deacon Hong Chou read out the 36 Hongmen oaths and 72 cases, the following newcomers went forward and repeated them again.

Then proceed to the last step, which is called chopping the phoenix. In the folks, it becomes the chopping chicken head, drinking white wine, and swearing in blood.

The deacon Hongstick took out a big red-crowned rooster, then held a big knife, and recited loudly and loudly: "This knife was born with the surname Hong, and it is called a hero in all corners of the world. There are people who are benevolent and righteous, but those who are benevolent and righteous will end up under the knife. "

After the recitation, the deacon's red stick raised the knife and dropped it. The head of the chicken fell to the ground, and a line of blood sprayed out from the cut of the chicken's neck, and the chicken blood was taken over with seven-point white wine.

At this time, everyone from the altar owner, Li Ye, to the newcomers all dipped their fingers in blood and sipped it into their mouths, which represented the alliance of dripping blood, and then drank the blood wine in the bowl.

The deacon Hongstick stood aside and then recited the poem at the end of the ceremony loudly.

This knife is originally an extraordinary knife, made in the old master's furnace in the past.

Seven or seven cycles of holy fire refining can only make three knives.

The head and palm are in Guan Gong's hand, and it is named Qinglong Yanyue Dao.

The two fell into the hands of the King of Jin and were named Kaiguo Dingtang Dao.

The three fell into Hong Ying's hands, and they were named after the swords of evil.

There is benevolence and righteousness, and we will form a golden orchid together. There is no benevolence and no righteousness, three knives and six eyes!
Everyone shouted the last sentence: "There is benevolence and righteousness, and we will form a golden orchid together. If there is no benevolence and righteousness, there will be three knives and six eyes."

After taking the oath in the incense hall, Mr. Li, who was sitting in the hall, began to bestow "step positions", that is, which piece of land was allocated and what position to do.

The newlyweds greeted the brothers and congratulated each other, and the master of ceremonies, who was just a white paper fan, raised his breath and was about to shout: "The ceremony is over!!!"

But when the white paper fan hadn't said the words "Li Bi", a loud voice suddenly came from outside the temple gate: "Descendants of Yan and Huang, Lin Fan, come to worship the mountain!"

Following the sound of worshiping the mountain gate, everyone present was terrified and stared in the direction where the sound came from.

 Still asking for a recommendation ticket, I have seen everyone’s opinions, the main reason is that it is too slow, next week’s recommendation period, there will be five updates every day, and it will be updated according to the situation!
