Chapter 68
"Ma Carpenter is indeed the ancestor of the Qing Gang's 'Li' generation. During the Republic of China, he was the youngest Qing Gang disciple of the 'Li' generation. You may not have heard of these old people, but I have heard about them.
"The old man in long robe looked at the crowd and said, then stared at Li Ling again,
"Since Carpenter Ma is your uncle, then who is your master? You said you were from the Youth Gang, who did you worship as the old man or disciple?" The old man in a long gown stared at Li Ling closely, his eyes sparkling.
"I have a family tradition and have no master. My uncle Ma Lvzong's father was my great-grandfather Li Weihua's apprentice. Therefore, according to seniority, Ma Lvzong is my uncle." Li Ling looked at the crowd, calmly,
"Although I haven't applied for a discipleship or performed the apprenticeship ceremony, I have never held an incense hall or paid homage to the old man. But in terms of seniority, Ma Lvzong is my uncle, and he is the grandfather of the Qing Gang's "Li" generation, so I
Naturally, he is the 'big' generation!"
"Oh my god! Well, according to what he said, is he really a 'big' person? At our age, it seems that we really have to live like dogs and be called a little kid.
Grandmaster!" Baldhead said in shock.
"What nonsense!" The thin black man waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter whose son or grandson you are, or whose disciple or grandson, according to the rules set by the third ancestor of the Qinggang, you have neither discipleship nor worship of the old man. This is
You have no name and no status! You are not a member of the Qinggang. We, the three religions, are one family, and there is no place for you to gain a foothold!
"Look, big boss, this little kid has fooled us all! Big boss, he is the ancestor of all generations. Even though he is not a member of our three religions, according to family rules, he still has to be beaten with eighty sticks, right?"
"Do you really want to be beaten with a stick?!"
There was a sudden loud shout, and the mahogany door was pushed open with a clang.
Standing at the door was a sturdy old man with a straight body, bulging temples and shining eyes.
"master!"
"Third Senior Brother!!"
Li Ling and Tongzi shouted at the same time.
"This is his student post!" Qin Shaonan waved a piece of yellowed old letterhead paper in his hand, looked at the crowd, and shouted in a low voice,
"My master passed me three discipleship posts, so I can introduce three disciples!" After that, he looked at Tongzi and said, "Tongzi, you don't have this seniority, so I will give this post to you as my junior uncle!"
"You guys need to read it carefully! This Qinggang 'big' student post contains my junior brother's surname, place of birth, family ancestors, everything! My junior brother, although he has not passed Xiangtang yet,
Thanks to the old man, I am now qualified to be your Grandmaster!"
"Old Xiangchang, why are you here?!" Except for the white man, the big boss and everyone else stood up with extremely respectful expressions on their faces.
Qin Shaonan came over, handed the two posts to the big boss, clasped his fists and said: "Big Dragon Head, these are the disciple posts of me and my junior brother, you can take a look.
"My junior brother and I are both disciples of the 24th generation of the Qinggang. My master, the old man I worship, is Ma Lvzong, the great carpenter of the Republic of China and the elder of the Qinggang's generation!"
The big boss took the two posts, looked at them, and then looked at Qin Shaonan. He was dumbfounded. He knelt down on one leg in front of Qin Shaonan for a long time and bowed his hands: "Lao Xiangchang, you must keep this matter a secret from us! No!
To think that you are actually our great master!"
Following his bow, all the other Chinese people in the hall, except for the old man in a long gown, bowed down, and for a while the title of "Master Zugong" rang throughout the room.
"The fragrance is long?!" Li Ling and Tongzi looked at each other, and Monk Zhang Er was confused. It turns out that the third senior brother is actually a high-level official of Hongmen overseas!
This third senior brother has kept a low profile all his life, hiding his seniority from his peers, but hiding his identity from his own family!
"We are all brothers from the same school, everyone, please get up!" Qin Shaonan helped the big boss up, "Old Qin, although I can't leave New York, I know that in today's world, seniority is worthless. Now, money is the only thing
It is the kingly way to take the lead.
"Thanks to everyone's respect, I, Lao Qin, have been allowed to be the incense director for decades, but I only come here when there are sacrificial ceremonies, wedding gatherings or when the deacons of the inner eight halls open the incense hall. I am just an old guy who doesn't care about anything.
, so I don’t want to bring out the matter of seniority, so as not to make it inconvenient for you to arrange seats.
"It's just that I didn't expect that I was living a semi-reclusive life in the Punal Valley of New York and almost no longer involved in worldly affairs, but today I found out that I was being ganged up on by my own family.
"If you all still think highly of me, Lao Qin, give me a favor and let my aunt and that little girl go. If I, Lao Qin, are offended in any way, tomorrow I will go to San Francisco to find the old mountain master and open an incense hall.
How about making amends in person?"
"Old Xiangchang, what are you talking about! I mean, Xiao Luo is blind today!" The big boss stood up and held Qin Shaonan's hands with a look of shame on his face.
"Not to mention that you are a living fossil, the grand master of the great generation. Just because the two old mountain masters recommended you to serve as Xiang Chang for thirty years, we, the younger generations, have to pay homage to you!
"Today's matter, I want to know that those two masters and grandmothers are the people around you. I wouldn't dare to bring them here even if I had the courage of a leopard!" Having said this, he turned around and looked at the old man in a long gown: "Qian Qian
Shan, hurry up and bring those two mistresses here, I want to apologize to them in public!"
The old man in the long gown agreed and immediately walked away.
"Old Yan's cultivation is getting better and better!" Qin Shaonan sighed suddenly as he looked at the old man's leaving figure.
"Old Xiangchang, this is my fault. I insulted my wife, daughter, and family members. I violated the family law and gang rules. These three swords and six holes are inevitable!" After the big boss finished speaking, he looked at the charlatan sorcerer in his thirties:
"Zhenyi, go get the knife!"
"big boss……"
"Big boss, no!"
"This is just a misunderstanding. Besides, Lao Xiangchang doesn't mean to blame you..." Everyone came over to dissuade him.
Qin Shaonan pulled him and said: "Da Longtou, I really don't mean to blame you. In this matter, I can only say that I was too cautious. I live a life without fighting against the world and rarely come to the hall.
Of course you don’t know who my family members are, so I really can’t blame you for this—”
"Old Xiangchang, if there are no rules, there will be no rule. If one of you commits a crime, no matter how powerful you are, you must obey the rules set by the ancestor! I, the eldest brother of the mountain master, am no exception. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of our overseas Hongmen disciples will
Whoever obeys us will be willing to sacrifice his life for us!" After the big boss said this, he looked at Li Ling again.
"Xiao Li, oh, no, little Grand Master, today Luo Zhenyuan and I are indeed blind, and I have offended little Grand Master. I apologize to you, Xiao Luo!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the charlatan sorcerer not far away shouting: "Brother, although this little brother has a discipleship, but he has not passed the Xiangtang, walked through the swords, mountains, guns, forests and fire pools, he can not be regarded as a disciple of our Hongmen.
!”
Luo Zhenyuan shook his head and said: "This identity has been made clear. Opening the incense hall is just a formality. Besides, my young master, I have to ask you one more thing. This is why I invite you today.
Reason for coming.”
After Luo Zhenyuan said this, he half-knelt down towards Li Ling and bowed his hands three times.
When Li Ling and Tong Zi looked at each other, they couldn't help but feel the hair stand on end. Their name changed to "You sir"!
Li Ling quickly helped him up and said: "Big boss, since it was just a misunderstanding, there is no need to be like this. Besides, I will not join Hongmen, so my seniority is actually just a false name. According to my elders,
Come on, I have to call you uncle——"
At this moment, a clear and ethereal girl's voice was heard: "Brother Li!"
Everyone looked around and saw a fairy-like beautiful girl walking sideways from the lobby, and beside her was a graceful woman in her thirties.
"Mom! Xi Shi!" Li Ling hurriedly greeted her.
"Xiao Ling, they are quite polite to us. Xi Shi and I are fine." Li Lin held one of her son's hands, and Xi Shi grabbed Li Ling's other hand.
Several people from Hongmen in the lobby looked at Xi Shi with their eyes wide open - could this girl be from heaven? She is countless times more beautiful than those female stars in movies and TV!
No one noticed that the old man in the long gown narrowed his eyes and looked at Xi Shi. For a long time, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
At this time, the charlatan also took out a two-foot-long steel knife with a red cloth wrapped around the handle.
Luo Zhenyuan stepped forward, half-knelt down to Li Lin and Xi Shi, and bowed with his hands: "Two masters, Luo Zhenyuan apologizes to you. What happened today is because I was confused and the lard was covered in lard."
My heart, please forgive me!"
Li Lin also quickly helped him up. Luo Zhenyuan stood up and shouted to the charlatan: "Zhenyi, three swords and six holes, you are here to execute me!"
"Big boss..." Everyone walked up and shouted at the same time, and looked at Qin Shaonan, hoping that Lao Xiangchang could dissuade him.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shaonan picked up the knife from the charlatan's hand and danced it in the air, causing the knife to sparkle and dazzle people's eyes.
"Bah bang bang!"
In an instant, Qin Shaonan was holding a knife and slashed three times on Luo Zhenyuan's arms, shoulders, and legs.
But it’s the back of the knife!
"Three swords have passed!" After Qin Shaonan finished speaking, he held the sword again and made several sounds, followed by a flash of swords, and saw six small pieces of white cloth flying in the air, like feathers.
Luo Zhenyuan's white shirt had six small round openings on his chest and abdomen.
"Six holes have been opened!" Qin Shaonan said and put away the knife, "Zhenyuan, three swords and six holes, the execution has been completed."
"Lao Xiang is very capable and good at swordsmanship!!!" With the bald man leading the applause, everyone clapped and praised him.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiangchang, Grandmaster!" Luo Zhenyuan knelt down and bowed to Qin Shaonan again.
When Hongmen punishes its disciples, the right of pardon and interpretation can be decided by the incense chief responsible for the incense. Therefore, Qin Shaonan used the back of the knife and the holes in his rags to execute the "three swords" that were originally meant to be pierced with a knife and exposed to blood and flesh.
"Six holes" is understandable and can calm the public opinion.
Luo Zhenyuan apologized to Li Ling, mother and son, and Xi Shi, and then said to Li Ling: "Little Master, Lao Xiang is a great carpenter, but he has never taught his skills to anyone in his life. So, Xiao Luo dares to ask
In other words, your skills as a great carpenter were probably not passed down to you by Lao Xiang, right?"
It turns out that the third senior brother has never taught Luban Shu to anyone, and everyone in the Hongmen knows it... Li Ling looked at Qin Shaonan, and immediately said to Luo Zhenyuan: "My sect was indeed passed down by others.
Mine is just that after my master taught me the technique, he left and never appeared again."
After hearing this, Luo Zhenyuan looked at the old man in a long gown and asked again: "Then, may I ask your master, his name, and where he lives?"
Li Ling shook his head and said: "Honestly, I don't know his name or where he lives. After he passed this set of things to me, he left, just like a mystery——"
"What a joke!" the charlatan sneered, "Do you think that learning Luban Shu is like learning to fight cocks, catch stones, and throw sandbags?
"It takes seven days to learn the simplest Lu Ban technique, and forty-nine days to learn the complicated one. There are hundreds of techniques in "Lu Ban Shu". You have to learn at least three years with him. After three years together, you can't even learn him.
You don’t even know his name? Who are you fooling?!”
Li Ling looked at him, and when this person expressed a rich expression, certain lines on his forehead would be faintly revealed.
This is an alchemist who has practiced some kind of magic.
