Chapter 334

Yihe Hotel, which uses the words "righteousness" and "harmony", actually has nothing to do with the Boxers.

But as the base camp and place of face of the Youth Association in Jiangning, the two words "yihe" have a profound meaning.

As a youth who was born in water transportation and learned to follow the "official and business" route hundreds of years ago, he has a different temperament in the Huaxia community.

Whether it was the "official" status during the Yongzheng period, or the "patriotic" nature during the Republic of China.The Youth Association's consistent line is to stay close to those in power and speculate on those who are destined.

According to the data, in the most glorious era, the Youth Association once participated in the elder brother's civil strife in the late Qianlong period, and in the Republic of China, it even speculated on the role of Mr. Jiang.

Therefore, loyalty and kindness are all talk for the Youth League, speculating for profit, and pulling together a protective umbrella is the way to make a fortune.

Li Changan's luxury sports car parked next to the hotel, and the younger brother from the Youth Club rushed over, but he didn't know him.

"I'm Pei Dongsheng's friend." Li Changan dismissed the younger brother with a simple sentence and a stack of banknotes. Ji Yeyue followed him. When the two stepped into the hotel, four shirtless men with red belts around their waists greeted them. No copper coins were dropped.

These four big men blocked Li Chang'an's way. Looking inside the restaurant, it was full of people. It seems that Li Chang'an came a little late.

Ji Yeyue didn't understand the rules here. At this time, the scimitar popped out, and she was about to step forward, but was stopped by Li Changan.

Then he heard a drum beating from upstairs, and then three golden gongs, and immediately someone asked loudly, "Who is here?"

Li Changan smiled faintly: "Li Changan, I am here to catch up with Xiangtang."

The voice from above continued to come: "Come up here holding the incense, do you have three gangs and nine generations?"

Hearing this ancient incision made Li Chang'an want to laugh a little, but it was rare for the Qinghui to pass this set of rules down, so he cupped his hands and said: "Although there are not three gangs and nine generations, but stepping on Qinglong, I have a destiny with Guixiangtang .”

The old men of Qinghui on the top of the building all gasped. The incision of "stepping on the green dragon" is not something that ordinary people can say. Only the seniors of Qinghui can say such a big incision.

Immediately, an old man came downstairs in person, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and stood at the top of the stairs and stomped his feet: "Qinglong came from the east, may I ask which generation your friends are from?"

Ji Yeyue was dumbfounded at this time, but Li Changan interjected: "Purity and morality, Wencheng Buddhism, you can be regarded as a friend of the literary generation."

The old man opened his eyes wide, and was furious immediately: "I have 24 generations in four halls and six divisions of the Youth Association. To say that they are friends of the literary generation is really bullying us for forgetting the inheritance of our ancestors."

Under the Youth Association, just like the Shaolin Temple, seniority is arranged according to 24 characters.

This is "clean morality, Wencheng Buddhism, benevolent wisdom, self-confidence, Yuanming Xingli, Datong Enlightenment..."

For example, Du Yuesheng, the most famous Du Yuesheng of the Jiangning Youth Association, has been passed down and has reached the 23rd generation of "Wu". In modern times, the oldest generation is only the "kun" generation of the last 24 generations.

Li Changan opened his mouth and said that he was of the literary generation, which was forty or fifty generations higher than the status of everyone present, of course no one believed it.

Second Uncle Zhu was standing on it right now, anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to disturb the elders in the door.

Li Chang'an became a little impatient, and said in a deep voice: "The rules of your youth association are getting stricter, will you let me go up?"

The old man actually knew Li Changan's identity a long time ago, but he didn't want to break the old rules. At this moment, a cold female voice came: "Mr. Jiang, let Mr. Li come up. You can save all the incisions.”

The old man bowed and said, "Yes, since my sister-in-law said so, then forget it."

Li Changan snorted, took Ji Yeyue up to the second floor, and saw a young woman in a black dress with a glamorous temperament sitting on the main seat, and beside her were all middle-aged men and women , but still respected her, a man in his 40s even said: "Mom, do you want to go and have a rest?"

It was this woman who spoke just now, and she was probably in her twenties at most, but judging from the middle-aged man's address and the old man's "sister-in-law", this must be the widow of Pan Kun, the boss of the Youth Association.

Boss Pan was already 68 when he passed away. This old man and young wife are really interesting.

Li Changan nodded to the woman in black, and then sat down at a random place.

He checked the time, held his temper, and said hello to Second Uncle Zhu who was not far away.

It's almost time, and today's grand event ceremony is also ready.

Not long after, after the chairman of the hotel, someone moved a golden gate made of gold paper on the wide stage.

At this moment, when the golden paper door opened, Pei Dongsheng came out wearing a long robe with sleeves and a jacket with a dazed expression on his face. The two guides in front whispered the rules while tugging at him.

Ji Yeyue almost laughed out loud: It's like acting on stage.

Pei Dongsheng finally saw Li Changan, he was relieved, and followed the guide around in circles.

Then the divine table was placed, and there were 48 rankings of the patriarchs on it, but one of them was scary: "The Zen seat of Patriarch Bodhidharma is enshrined."

The last tablet is Pan Kun Pan's boss.

Ji Yeyue whispered: "Even Bodhidharma is sacrificed, this will be interesting."

Li Chang'an smiled: "The three patriarchs of the Qinghui are all descendants of Luo Zu, and that Luo Zu was born in Zen. Enshrining the Patriarch Bodhidharma of Zen all the way to the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, the so-called preaching of the Tao also spreads Zen, but that is all in the past.”

At this time, the ceremony continued. Someone brought a basin of clear water, starting from the widow in black, and everyone took turns to clean their hands according to their seniority. After washing their hands, someone brought a large bowl of water, starting from the widow in black. Pass it down in turn, one mouthful per person, but the mouth is not allowed to touch the edge of the bowl when drinking. This is fasting.

In this case, it was Pei Dongsheng's turn at the end, and this guy was also performing the ceremony in a decent manner.

After fasting, an old man walked out of the banquet and read aloud:

The ancestors of all ages came down the mountain,
Red felt paved with lotus platform;
Purdue disciples help Zhongjin,
Thousands of lotus flowers bloom everywhere.

Pei Dongsheng then kowtowed and burned incense in front of the tablets of the ancestors. At this time, the golden paper door was closed, and the old man announced: "The natal master joins the ancestors!".

The so-called "real name teacher" is the master Pei Dongsheng wants to pay homage to.

Li Changan watched intently, but saw Pei Dongsheng being led to kneel down in front of the widow in black, he couldn't help but smile in his heart: Now Dongsheng's seniority is not young, it seems that Qinghui attaches great importance to him, but in the future there will be a beautiful woman If the widow is the master, he has many things to do.

At this time, the widow in black left her seat and took her seat, facing the divine case, she meditated silently, and then said slowly: "I, Chen Xiangyun, am a latecomer in the Youth Association, so sign up for incense."

After Chen Xiangyun finished offering incense, she kowtowed three times in a row. Behind her, all the people present stood up and kowtowed to the divine case.

Next, Pei Dongsheng followed Chen Xiangyun and began to pay homage to his grandfather who was present.

What is left is kowtowing to offer tea, explaining the rules of the guild... There is also a whole set of rituals, but after drinking at night, Chen Xiangyun will explain to Pei Dongsheng alone, so it is saved here.

Li Changan looked down at the time again, it was just after nine o'clock, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But thinking of Shen Bingyue going abroad suddenly, going to see her by himself this time, is it to keep her, or to bid farewell to the beautiful woman?

For a while, I felt mixed flavors, and my heart was stuffy...
