Chapter 145 Four Kings and Five Altars

Xie Zihao had great thoughts, but he didn't expect that he couldn't find a magical weapon that suited his liking even in the largest extraordinary trading market in the Federation.

That's why he came to Hongmen Tangkou in Jinshan Ghost Market for help, and then made a new friend, Liu Shengji from Huang Tianjiao.

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

Xie Zihao could tell that this place should have been dug directly from the mountain in the mining area, or it could have been transformed using the space in the original mining area.

There was no one guarding the warehouse door, but Xie Zihao did not dare to underestimate this place at all, because under his spiritual vision, he could clearly see the dense red "silk threads" arranged outside the door.

These threads were almost undetectable under the dim sunlight in the ghost city. If it weren't for the Sharingan talent given by Itachi, and his eyes had been fully enhanced and transformed, Xie Zihao probably wouldn't be able to see them clearly at all.

And even though these threads seemed to be even smaller than spider silk, his inspiration could clearly feel the sharpness and fierce power contained in them. He probably took a stick made of fine steel and swung it forward.

, will be instantly split into countless segments by these filaments, not to mention the fragile human body!

If a bold and stupid thief really comes to steal, he thinks that the layout of the cave entrance is enough for someone to drink from it.

Liu Shengji saw Liu Shengji take out his waist badge, and Xie Zihao caught a glimpse of the pattern of plum blossoms engraved on it, and immediately understood the general status of the person in charge of Hongmen Hall who was born in Huangtian Sect in Hongmen.

Similar to Liu Shengji's waist badge, there are four kinds of patterns: orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and plum, which correspond to spring, summer, autumn and winter, southeast, northwest. Of course, the four patterns of orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and plum are not used to divide grades, but refer to the three subordinates of Hongmen.

A member of the flower club.

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

After all, there are almost no Tang people living overseas who don’t know about Hongmen.

Hongmen was built in the Southern Ming Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally named Tiandihui. The founder is said to have a military background. It is also said that he is a descendant of the Zhu Ming royal family or a Jinyiwei.

They worked hard to defeat the Jin Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, restore the Han Dynasty, and overthrow the brutal rule of the Qi Dynasty. However, due to various reasons, they failed to achieve success. After several changes of the times, they formed the very complex composition and pattern today.

During the Beiyang period at the end of the Jin Dynasty, Hongmen truly established its current structure, which was divided into three major parts: heaven, earth, and flowers.

Among them, the members of the Tianzi Department were the core members who existed during the Tiandihui period. It is even said that the blood of the Zhu Ming royal family remained, and they were not killed by Hou Jin, who was always afraid of Han rebellion and massacred the Ming clan.

Therefore, the Tianzi Department deserves to be the core senior management 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 of their great status, members of the Tianzi Department have always been an important part of Hongmen.

The origins of the Dizi Department are more complicated. Generally speaking, they are the large and small organizations that have been derived from the Tiandi Hui for hundreds of years, as well as the gangs and sects that the people have attached to the Tiandi Hui.

The Huazi Department is the reorganized anti-gold organization of the Honghua Society, which existed in the early and mid-term period of the Later Jin Dynasty. The four major halls of the Huazi Department are all formed by the backbone forces of Hongmen during the Honghua Society period.

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.

In other words, except for the Tianzi Department, which is Hongmen's symbol and mascot, and does not take care of much, the real power structure of Hongmen is mostly based on the Dizi Department and the Huazi Department.

Therefore, Hongmen has a saying of "four kings, five altars and eight sides" in the world of martial arts.

The five altars are the core part of the Dizi Department, namely the Green Wood Altar in the east, the Suzaku Altar in the south, the White Tiger Altar in the west, the Xuanwu Altar in the north, and the Qilin Altar in the center.

Under the five major altars, there are many Xiangkou all over the world. Except for a few directly affiliated forces, most of them are attached to the restraining forces of Hongmen.

The Four Kings refer to the heads of the four halls of the Hua Zi Department, the Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum and Plum. They are also called the Four Gentlemen. These four sit in the Hongmen headquarters all year round, and their status is somewhat similar to the four great Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult in the novel.

The power and reputation within Hongmen and the reputation in the world are all top-notch figures. The four of them together can almost be regarded as the masters of Hongmen. They can decide all the affairs of Hongmen, at least the main altar and the branches directly under it.

matter.

The status of the Five Altar Masters is second only to the Four Kings. They are somewhat similar to the Mingjiao Wusanren in the novel. Of course, they have much more power than the Wusanren. Each one of them is a big boss who is in charge of one party and belongs to the actual feudal lord.

official.

As for the eight-sided incense, one refers to the incense owners of the eight incense mouths directly under Hongmen. It is a bit like a municipality, directly under the Hongmen main altar and not subject to the control of the five sub-tanks; the other refers to the incense owners of the eight incense mouths directly under Hongmen.

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 was obviously a member of the Meihua Hall among the four major halls.

"I just don't know which part of Hongmen the Huangtian Sect behind this belongs to. Maybe it's just like adding sand to it, and its members are distributed in various departments and halls."

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

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

Inside the warehouse is a reception desk, that is, there is a small table at the entrance, and a middle-aged caretaker sits behind it.

Xie Zihao saw a small door on the other side, which should be a place for rest after the shift change.

When the watcher saw that the person coming was Liu Shengji, he quickly stood up and saluted:

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

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

After all, nowadays, more overseas Tang people speak Guangdong and Guangxi vernacular, Hakka and Minnan dialects.

Although the ancestors of the Xie family in this world were born in the land of Yan and Zhao, they had migrated to the south as early as the early 19th century and experienced several generations of marriages. Therefore, they generally speak mostly Hakka and Hokkien, and of course they can speak a little vernacular.

Liu Shengji responded politely and said:

"I'm bringing a friend from Heaven over to see the Tianzi warehouse. Lao Wang, please register and prepare to open the door!"

The man immediately said:

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he took out a wooden sign with the Chinese character "天" and a registration book from the drawer under the table, wrote a few words on it, signed it himself, and asked Liu Shengji to use his seal, and then he took the two of them to the

The one on the far left 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 Market was not fixed. Because he was sitting in the largest extraordinary trading market in the Federation, there was too much oil and water, so there were mutual exchanges within Hongmen.

On a rotating basis.

It's no wonder that the operation of entering the warehouse is so rigorous. This can also prevent people on shift from enriching their own pockets to a certain extent.

At the end of the passage is a heavy carved solid wood door. Xie Zihao took a quick look and saw that it was made of mahogany. As for what kind of mahogany it was, he needed to distinguish it carefully.

Arriving in front of the warehouse door, the man took the lead in placing the wooden sign bearing the title of Emperor in front of the animal head on the door knocker on the right side of the door, and said respectfully to Liu Shengji:

"Master Liu Xiang, please!"

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

There was a flash of red light, and the thick mahogany door that was originally closed 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 one in the movie is an electronic door lock controlled by a chip.

The former is undoubtedly more difficult to crack.
