The strongest all-around bodyguard

Chapter 149
Master Li and all the big brothers of the Hongmen stood up. They looked at Lin Fan with complicated eyes. The ground was full of Hongmen brothers who had lost the ability to resist.

"Master Li, you big brothers, there is only the last level left. It doesn't look like I will be able to extinguish the incense and pull out the flag in a short time."

Lin Fan laughed wildly arrogantly, with a smug expression on his face, since he had already torn his face with Hongmen, Lin Fan didn't think about restraining himself, this time he had to be arrogant enough to let these people know how much trouble they had caused , How big a basket was poked.

"My surname is Lin, don't be so arrogant, this is our territory." Some Hongmen disciples were outraged, jumped out and pointed at Lin Fan and cursed.

Lin Fan glanced at the other party coldly and said, "Arrogance? Haha, this is just the beginning. When I put out the incense and pull up the flag, I will let you know what is arrogance."

"Little brother, it's better to let go of enemies than to end them. This is the first time we've met you, so there's no need to force us so hard."

Old Dan, Li Ye's confidant, stepped forward at this time, wanting to smooth things over, he had already seen that it would be difficult to stop this unremarkable young man in the five battles of the branch hall.

"Hmph, you are trying to force me? You got it upside down. If it weren't for your Hongmen's hard work, why would I have come all the way to this island of Samar? Let's not talk nonsense, let's set up the battle. I can’t wait to see what the legendary thank you banquet in Hongmen looks like."

Lin Fan didn't listen to other people's persuasion at all, he made up his mind this time to turn the whole family upside down, so that these people would stay away when they heard his name in the future.

Master Li took two steps forward, and said with a cold face: "What do you want to do, I haven't said anything yet, don't you want to make decisions for me?"

"I, Hongmen, have gone through hundreds of years since the establishment of Hongmen. I haven't seen any big storms and waves. There is no need to say such depressing words."

When Master Li spoke, he glanced around for a week with icy eyes. Since Lin Fan refused to compromise, he could only act tougher. Even if he lost, he must not lose.

After a few reprimands, Master Li yelled at Tianyou Hong in a low voice: "I haven't ordered you to go down and hold a banquet."

Tianyou Hong retreated in a hurry, and ordered the people below to cook pots and set up a banquet. Li Shankui cupped his hands and said to the surroundings: "Everyone, please excuse me for a while, and I, Li Shankui, will make a fool of myself."

After speaking, Li Shankui re-entered the temple, knelt down in front of the statue of Guan Gong earnestly, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, and took out a black wooden box under the statue of Guan Gong.

After taking out the wooden box, Li Shankui sighed deeply, and said to himself in a low voice: "Master, I hope you won't lose face this time."

Some people in the witnessing crowd looked confused and asked in a low voice: "Master Li, what does this mean? Why did you reach the last level and go to the temple to kowtow to pray for God?"

An older witness who had a good relationship with Mr. Li gently stroked his beard and explained, "That's not asking God. Mr. Li went in to invite his weapons out."

"Invite the weapon out? The more you hear it, the more mysterious it becomes. You can just take out the weapon. Why is it like asking the gods, kneeling three times and knocking nine times to perform such a grand ceremony?"

Someone next to him continued to ask in bewilderment. Master Li's actions made them unclear what he meant.

"There is a knife in the wooden box, which was handed down by Master Li's ancestors. This weapon really has a story. It is said that it is made of fine steel refined from meteorites from outside the sky. It is extremely sharp and cold."

"Master Li's grandfather was a famous swordsman along the coast during the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Later, he offended the local dignitaries and was forced to flee to North America by boat with this knife."

"Master Li's grandfather stayed in North America for decades, joined the Hongmen, made a name for himself, became a bigwig in the Hongmen, and opened a restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown."

"Afterwards, something happened. The old man died in depression. He passed the knife to his son, who is also Li's father. That old man came to Nanyang from North America. He took root in Samar Island, got married and had children."

"So, speaking of it, this knife has been passed down for three generations, and it has been 100 years. Usually Li Ye puts the knife in the Guandi Temple, and sends people to offer incense and worship every day. This time When it comes to the last level, Master Li is going to do it himself."

The old man twirled his beard and told some stories about Master Li and the origin of the knife.

He was talking there. Inside the temple, Master Li had already taken out the wooden box and put it in his hand. He carefully opened the wooden box, which was covered with a layer of yellow silk.

Mr. Li slowly uncovered the yellow silk, revealing a long black knife. This knife looks to be about 1.2 meters long.

When Mr. Li held the handle of the knife and took it out of the wooden box, everyone was amazed, because this long black knife turned out to be a broken knife, cut off from the center of the knife body, near the break. There are still a few deep fingerprints left.

The broken part lay quietly in the wooden box, while the surviving part was more than 40 centimeters long, and the black lacquered blade looked strangely glamorous.

Master Li took out the broken knife, then put the wooden box back respectfully, and walked out of the temple slowly with the broken knife in his hand.

At this time, the Hongmen disciples had already set up a hardwood Eight Immortals table in the open space. There were a few antique pear wood chairs under the table. Sixteen plates of eight kinds of cold and eight hot ones were already placed on the table. plate.

Master Li walked up to Lin Fan, bowed slightly and invited, "Master Lin, please take a seat!"

At this time, no matter what grievances Hongmen and Lin Fan have, the Lord must be respectfully shouted out, otherwise, it would be a disrespect for the other party and disrespect for himself, and it would appear that Hongmen had broken the rules. The courtesy is short.

Lin Fan clasped his fists, chuckled and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

While speaking, he took a few steps forward, and sat down in the top seat.

After Lin Fan took his seat, Master Li invited a few highly respected witnesses to sit beside him, and then asked several local Hongmen bigwigs to accompany him. Including Lin Fan, there were a total of eight people, and the seats were filled.

Lin Fan casually observed the seven people sitting with him, more than half of them were gray-haired, and the youngest among them was 50 to [-] years old.

The big brother of the Hongmen who had a dispute with Master Li just now was also among them, and he smiled at Lin Fan with a kind of kindness in his smile.

Lin Fan did not respond, but continued to observe other people. Among the seven people, there were four witnesses. These four people sat there with a bit of fear, probably because they were afraid that they would hurt themselves if there was a fight.

As for the other two members of the Hongmen, one is the old Shan with a mustache, and there is a glint of sternness in his eyes.

The other man is thick-backed and gray-haired, and his age must be in his 60s, but his face is ruddy, his breath is long, his hands are covered with calluses, and he can be seen as a practitioner.
