Chapter 145 Four Kings, Five Altars and Eight Faces of Incense

Xie Zihao had a good idea, but he didn't expect that even in the federation's largest extraordinary trading market, he couldn't find a magic weapon that he wanted.

That's why he came to Hongmentangkou of Jinshan Ghost City for help, and then made a new friend of Huang Tianjiao's Liu Shengji.

While the two were talking, Xie Zihao, led by Liu Shengji, walked through the courtyard behind and came to the door of a cave-like building.

Xie Zihao could tell that this place should have been dug out directly from the mountain in the mining area, or it had been reconstructed by utilizing the space of the original mining area.

There was no guard outside the warehouse door, but Xie Zihao didn't dare to underestimate it, because under his spiritual vision, he could clearly see the dense red "silk threads" arranged outside the door.

These silk threads are almost impossible to detect under the dim sunlight in the ghost city. If it weren't for the talent of sharing eyes bestowed by Itachi, Xie Zihao probably wouldn't be able to see clearly at all if his eyes had been fully enhanced.

And don't look at these silk threads that seem to be smaller than spider silk, but his inspiration can clearly feel the sharpness and fierce power contained in them, probably because he swung a stick made of fine steel forward , will be instantly split into countless segments by these filaments, not to mention the fragile human body!

If some bold and stupid thief came to steal, he felt that the layout of the hole was enough for someone to drink a pot.

Seeing Liu Shengji take out his waist card, Xie Zihao caught a glimpse of the pattern of plum blossoms on it, and immediately understood the general status of the head of the Hongmen Hall who was born in Huangtianjiao in Hongmen.

There are four patterns of orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and plum similar to this Liu Shengji's waist card, which correspond to spring, summer, autumn and winter, southeast, northwest, and of course the four patterns of orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and plum are not used to divide the ranks, but refer to the three subordinates of Hongmen. A member of the flower department of this part.

As a former close ally of the Hongmen, the Xie family still knew a lot about this huge organization. Although Xie Zihao had no memory of Chaofan, the original body knew a general idea about the inside of the Hongmen.

After all, there are almost no Tang people living overseas who do not know Hongmen.

Hongmen was built in the Nanming period at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally called Tiandihui. The founder is said to be a military officer, and it is also said to be a descendant of the Zhu Ming royal family or Jinyiwei.

They are committed to fighting against the Jin and restoring the Ming Dynasty, restoring the Han family, and overthrowing the brutal rule of Dalu. However, due to various reasons, they failed to succeed, and the times have changed several times, so they have formed a very complicated composition and pattern today.

In the Beiyang period at the end of the Jin Dynasty, Hongmen was considered to have truly determined the current structure. It is generally divided into three parts, that is, the three organizations of heaven, earth and flowers.

Among them, the members of the Tianzi Department belonged to the core members that existed during the Tiandihui period. It is even said that the blood of the Zhu Ming royal family survived, and they were not killed by Hou Jin, who had always been afraid of the Han people's rebellion and wanted to kill the Ming clan.

Therefore, the Tianzi Department deserves to be the core executives of Hongmen. Perhaps most of the members are mascots, but there are also many who hold important positions in the headquarters and various departments.

And because they occupy the name of righteousness, the members of Tianzi Department have always been an important part of Hongmen.

The origin of the Dizi Department is more complicated. Generally speaking, it is the large and small organizations that have been derived from the Tiandihui for hundreds of years, as well as the gangs and sects that are attached to the Tiandihui.

The Huazi Department is an anti-gold organization that existed at the beginning and middle of the post-golden society, the Red Flower Society, which has been reorganized. Although the number of people is far less than that of the Dizi Department, it is more than that of the Tianzi Department. It can be said that the four halls of the Huazi Department are the real backbone of Hongmen.

That is to say, except for the Tianzi Department, the symbol and mascot of Hongmen, who is not very in charge, the real power structure of Hongmen is mostly above the Dizi Department and Huazi Department.

Therefore, Hongmen has a saying of "four kings, five altars and eight sides of incense" in Jianghu.

The five altars are the core part of the Dizi Department, the five altars are the Eastern Greenwood Altar, the Southern Vermilion Bird Altar, the Western White Tiger Altar, the Northern Xuanwu Altar, and the central Qilin Altar.

Under the five altars, there are many incense mouths all over the world. Except for a small number of directly affiliated forces, most of the incense mouths are affiliated to the Hongmen.

The four kings refer to the masters of the four halls of orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and plum in the flower department, and they are also called the four gentlemen.These four are all sitting in the Hongmen headquarters all year round, and their status is somewhat similar to the four Mingjiao kings in the novel. They are all first-class figures regardless of their power and fame within Hongmen or their reputation in the world.The four of them working together can almost be regarded as the master of the Hongmen, who can decide all the big and small affairs of the Hongmen, at least the matters of the main altar and the sub-altars directly under each locality.

The status of the master of the five altars is second only to the four kings. It is a bit similar to the Mingjiao Wusanren in the novel. Of course, the power under his hands is much more than that of the Wusanren. official.

As for Bamianxiang, one refers to the incense owners of the eight incense mouths directly under Hongmen, which is a bit like a municipality directly under the central government, directly belonging to the main altar of Hongmen, and not subject to the control of the five branch altars; The world is in all directions.

The above is what Xie Zihao knows about the internal situation of Hongmen.

And the Liu Shengji in front of him is obviously a member of the Plum Blossom Hall in the entrance of the four halls.

"It's just that I don't know which part the Huang Tianjiao behind this belongs to in Hongmen. Maybe it may be like mixing sand, and its members are distributed in various altars."

Because Hongmen has existed for a long time, it is quite normal for this to happen.

When these thoughts flashed through Xie Zihao's mind, Liu Shengji had already used his waist badge to suspend the restriction on the entrance to the warehouse, opened the door and led him in.

The inside of the warehouse looks like a reception, that is, a small table is placed at the entrance, and a middle-aged caretaker sits behind it.

Xie Zihao saw another small gate on the other side, which should be the place where shifts are ushered in and rested.

Seeing that it was Liu Shengji who came, the guard quickly stood up and saluted:

"Liu Xiangzhu, you are here, do you want to enter the warehouse?"

This person spoke with a northern accent, which made Xie Zihao, who was used to Mandarin in his previous life, feel a little kind.

After all, these days overseas Chinese speak more Guangdong-Guangzhou vernacular, Hakka and Hokkien.

Although the ancestors of the Xie family in this world were from the land of Yanzhao, they migrated to the south as early as the early nineteenth century, and experienced several generations of marriages, so they generally speak Hakka and Hokkien, and of course they can speak a little vernacular.

Liu Shengji politely replied:
"I'm bringing a friend from the kingdom of heaven over to look at the warehouse of the Tianzi, Lao Wang, please register and prepare to open the door!"

The man immediately said:

"Okay, wait a moment."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden sign engraved with the word Tian and a registration book from the drawer under the table, wrote a few words on it, marked it himself, and asked Liu Shengji to use the seal, and then brought the two of them to the In the leftmost one of the rear passage.

Xie Zihao couldn't help but nodded secretly when he saw it. As far as he knew, the person in charge of the Hongmen hall in Jinshan Ghost City was not fixed, because it was sitting on the largest extraordinary trading market in the Federation, and there was too much money, so it was within the Hongmen and it was mutual. Rotation of successors.

It's no wonder that the operation of entering the warehouse is so rigorous. Doing so can also prevent shift workers from filling their pockets to a certain extent.

At the end of the passage is a heavy carved solid wood gate. Xie Zihao can tell with a glance that it is made of mahogany. As for the kind of mahogany, it needs to be carefully distinguished.

When he came to the warehouse door, the man took the lead in putting the wooden plaque of the Son of Heaven in front of the animal head on the door knocker on the right side of the gate, and said respectfully to Liu Shengji:
"Master Liu Xiang, please!"

Liu Shengji nodded, took out his waist card with the plum blossom pattern, and placed it in front of the animal head on the door knocker on the left.

Seeing a flash of red light, the originally closed thick mahogany door slowly opened.

This scene can be called the smart door opening system that Xie Zihao saw in his previous life. The difference is that the system here is composed of extraordinary power, while the electronic door lock in the movie is controlled by a chip.

Undoubtedly, the former is more difficult to crack.
