Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh meeting
As the largest gang of Chinese people, Hongmen has a century-old history, with a strict organizational structure, clear top and bottom, rigorous levels, and clear parts of the work. It is a behemoth activated by countless pinions. Its influence is even stronger than that of many small countries.
The thirteen major leaders in the family are the highest power. They rarely appear in public. Unless there is a major event, they must come forward to have a drink with everyone during the traditional Chinese festivals. After all, in foreign countries, traditional Chinese festivals are of extraordinary significance to the elderly. One year is less! This year is over, but next year... I don’t know if God will give them a chance.
When Tang Ning arrived, except for a few people who were in seclusion and were not at home for some time, six of them came forward, almost half of them. In terms of the degree of courtesy and reception specifications, Tang Ning, who was young and knowledgeable and could barely pass through cultivation, was even more respectful than many real gangsters or government officials.
There was no need to mobilize so many big shots in this matter at once, but even if these worldly-minded and cunning old guys don’t give Tang Ning a face, they still have to give the big shot behind him. The Hongmen brothers are all over the world, and their tentacles involve all levels. The private information about Tang Ning is even more detailed than those in Guoan.
In this world, when it comes to information search capabilities, government officials will never be as good as the world. Talents in the world are truly omnipresent.
The existence of the demon fox Zhang Xiaohua was no longer a secret shortly after Jiang Tao and Zhou Yu came into contact with Tang Ning.
Back then, the Qidao Alliance, the King of Heaven and the Four Beast Gods, were famous. Not only in the Qimen Realm, but also in the world, it was considered a gathering of monsters and monsters, and a large gathering of non-humans. No one dared to win over his edge. Later, the Qidao Alliance collapsed and disintegrated. The powerful organization with the most powerful decline was the same as before. The whereabouts of the Demon Fox, Crazy Tiger, Poisonous Snake, and Red Scorpion were unknown. There are rumors that these four Beast Gods were discouraged and found seclusion, and they were silently cultivated without caring about the world. Some people said that they fell during the internal strife. But no matter what, the reputation of the four Beast Gods also became a legend in the Qimen River and Lake.
As the investigation of Tang Ning deepened, the demon fox behind him gradually entered the sight of the senior officials of the Hongmen. What they did not expect was that the descendants of the four beast gods actually had a close relationship with the direct descendants of the Hongmen. This kind of good fate is hard to come by. We must grasp it firmly.
For Zhou Yu, who is also promising within the Hongmen, Jiang Tao wanted to turn to the Plum Blossom Sanshou Sect. None of the thirteen bigwigs opposed it. He believed that the benefits of this matter outweighed the disadvantages for the Hongmen. So he instructed Zhou and Jiang to find time to bring the children back.
First, according to the rules, Tang Ning must come to the Hongmen headquarters in person. In fact, it is just a formality. It may be strict with others, but Tang Ning can just give it a simple meaning. Another thing is that the big guys also want to meet Tang Ning himself. Tang Ning doesn’t know all this, and Zhou Yu and Jiang Tao don’t know it. If they had known this, with their habits, they might not have been able to come back. It is not a trip between the people, but to China and the United States. It is not easy to take a trip, and the road is also very long.
There are many rules in the Hongmen, but they did a lot of things that violated the rules in their early years. As for young people, God will give them several opportunities to make mistakes.
I heard that several supreme powerhouses in the Hongmen would meet him in person, which made Tang Ning more or less flattered.
In terms of generations in the world, they are seniors. They should respect them. In terms of strength, they have countless disciples, all over the world. Although they are under the title of a leader, they are actually alone. Whether real or empty, they are incomparable to others.
When you come to the door to worship the pier, you must first worship the other party’s incense hall. This is also a rule.
The incense hall is constantly incense, the sandalwood is rich, and the smoke is lingering. The incense burner of the three legs of the fine iron is as big as a sea bowl. Nearly a hundred tablets from top to bottom are all predecessors of the Hongmen dynasties or sages and heroes who sacrificed for the organization. The twenty or so above are the ancestors of the Hongmen, from the beginning to the five sects, and even the fifteen ancestors in the front, middle and back, as well as the five righteous heroes, three heroes and two heroes.
Of course, Tang Ning didn't know these tablets. He was led into the incense hall and worshipped the incense. Although he was not a pure man in the martial arts world, Tang Ning almost knew many aspects such as the cuts of etiquette in the martial arts world.
After paying homage to Xiangtang, he really met with some big shots. When he came to the room, Tang Ning was shocked.
There were more than twenty seats in two rows in the spacious hall. There were thirteen chairs in the main seat, two old men in Tang suits, three middle-aged men in blue cloth gowns, and one young woman in red leather jackets and leather skirts. The rest were vacant. It must be the seats of the Thirteen Great Masters. The men and women sitting on both sides were all in their forties and fifties, and there were also young men in their twenties and thirties, but very few, two or three kittens. Among these people, Tang Ning paid special attention to the woman sitting in the main seat. She had a melon-shaped face, phoenix eyes, red lips, hot and sexy figure, and charming and seductive face. This woman had met once. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to be the Seventh Sister of Yin Feng.
There are so many people, almost every one is a master of dark energy or above. Except for the sexy and charming sister Yin Feng Qi, the other six big guys sitting in the main seat don’t look very eye-catching, the elderly at home and ordinary middle-aged uncles, all have extremely thick qi and blood, strong vitality, and the vitality in their bodies is vast and boundless. With Tang Ning’s current cultivation level, he can’t feel the depth at all. This level of cultivation must be above Huajin. Especially the two old men in their sixties and seventies, even half-step Dan Sect is possible.
With so many masters gathering together, in this relatively small room, invisible energy fluctuations gather into the sea. A little urge will produce great pressure. Tang Ning is now under such invisible pressure. The moment he steps past the threshold and enters the door, it is like a thousand pounds of upper body. It is extremely difficult to take a step. And every step forward, the pressure increases one point. Tang Ning's footsteps are like a heavy hammer hitting the ground. Bang, bang, bang...
From the door to the middle of the hall, about ten meters away, it is called "the lotus platform step by step, ten meters of the road to the king of Hell" by Hongmen. It is one of the highest standard welcoming methods adopted by the people of the peasants in the world. There is nothing to be able to hold on, but it will be looked down upon. For decades, Tang Ning is the youngest one. Although he is not very good, his face is red and his forehead is sweating, he is at least considered to be holding on. He did not embarrass himself. He did not smash the sign of the plum blossom Sanshou Gate.
A crisp sound burst out from his body. Tang Ning slowly straightened his back, neither humble nor arrogant, and said word by word: "After students Tang Ning, I have met all the seniors and all the elder brothers and sisters in the hall."
Tang Ning held his fists according to the etiquette of the world. The statement here is very particular. If he came as a friend of the Hong family for his later generations, he would have to call himself "welfare". But now he is also the head of a sect. If he claims to be a visit, he will be weaker in his identity. If he frankly says that he has seen it, he will be equal. At least in terms of identity and status.
Tang Ning's clear voice suddenly fell, and suddenly the pressure disappeared.
"My friend, please sit down. Let's sit down and talk." An old man sitting in the main seat, leaning on a cane, with a kind-eyed and bald man smiled and added a chair. The location was also very eye-catching, just next to the thirteen chairs. You should know that there are strict levels on the Hongmen. According to rankings, ranks, and where each person should sit, there are regulations.
Just like the ministers of civil and military affairs who came to the palace to meet the emperor, they were both civil and military, and they were first-ranked. They were closest to Tianyan. The so-called close ministers of the emperor were actually based on this statement. Position determines identity and status.
Once you sit in a seat that does not belong to you on an important occasion, you have to doubt your intentions.
Below the Thirteenth Master is the master of the department, the master is the deacon, and the deacon is the specific staff. Tang Ning's seat is arranged above the masters. Isn't it that in the eyes of the masters, his status is higher than that of the masters?
Sure enough, as soon as Tang Ning's butt was touched on the chair, someone suddenly stood up.
"Boy, do you seem to be polite?" The speaker was a thick man wearing a black coat and a white cloth shirt. He had a tiger back and a bear waist, and a strong figure. He had a bald head, thick eyebrows, ring eyes, and a thick dark beard under his jaw. His voice was like thunder.
Tang Ning stood up and hugged his fists, saying, "My brother, what do you mean by saying this? I am here for the first time. If there is something wrong or lacking, please point it out."
"Do you deserve to sit on that chair? You are young, what qualifications are there to sit there?"
Tang Ning looked back at the chair behind him and suddenly realized, "Oh, it turns out that it's because of this, that's OK. This chair is given to you. Brother, please."
Tang Ning flashed to the side, stared at the man with a bright look, gave way sincerely, and asked him to come and sit down.
"You..." The man was stunned. He didn't dare to sit in that position. In front of the six big bosses, wasn't he obviously trying to go on the kang across the pot?
There was a buzzing sound in the hall, and many people covered their mouths and laughed. This reckless guy made a fool of himself again.
Rolling up his sleeves, he turned back to his position, "I'm too lazy to see you like a little devil. Hum..."
"Everyone, who wants to sit on this chair? Come on, you're welcome." Tang Ning was very enthusiastic, but no one dared to respond.
"My friend, please sit down. No one is sitting down." The bald old man said with a smile again.
"No one is here? Then I'm sitting here?" I glanced around, raised my butt and sat down, muttering in my mouth: "Don't blame me for being rude anymore, I've given up a lot..."
Chapter completed!
