Chapter 3 [Triad] (2)
The three drove straight to the main hall of the Sanhe Association located in the New Territories Heritage Wudiao Hall. Sanhe also called Hongmen. Sanhe means to obtain the right time, place, and people. When they arrived, Sanhe was opening a fragrant hall because Fang Tianyuan had called Zhuo Zhenhai before. A scar-faced man in front of the door had been waiting there for a long time and led them in. An altar was set up at the west end of the room, surrounded by candlelight, and a large red wooden basin was placed in front of the altar, which contained rice. There were four large brush words written in the outer circle: "Pine", "Cypress" symbolizes longevity, "Peach", and "Ple" mean loyalty.
The large wooden basin in front of the altar is called "Dou", which contains the divine objects of the Triad, including five sets of small pennant flags on four sides, representing the ancestors of the Triad, Yin Hongsheng, Fu Qingzhu, Gu Yanwu, Huang Lizhou, and Wang Chuanshan.
More importantly, "Lingqi", which is used by senior leaders of the Triad Association in the ceremony. The two words "Dragon Wing" are written on both sides of the Triad, and in the middle is a large character "Ling". One rectangular flag is erected with the big words "Mr. Commander of the Three Armies", which is also a portrayal of the complex legendary history of the Triad Association. Most flags have two red pennant flags on the top, with eight words "Perform the way for heaven, destroy the Qing and support the Ming Dynasty".
There are many strange objects on and around the altar. A piece of red paper hung above the "Dou" in front of the altar, which said that the spirit of the Triad will be carried forward in China. There are also some copper lamps around, a wine jar, five wine bowls, an incense burner, some fruit plates and flowers, and a large sea bowl. Above the altar, there is also a piece of yellow paper hanging on it, with the names of the main members of the Triad, and five small pennant flags written with the five big words "gold", "wood", "water", "fire", and "earth".
When Xiao Yu heard a few drum sounds, the house suddenly became silent. Zhuo Zhenhai walked into the house in a red robe and sat on the left side of the altar. Since he was the boss of the dragon head, who had the Chinese characters embroidered on his sleeves, the white circle on the left sleeve was "Heaven" and the white circle on the right sleeve was "Earth", and there were two Chinese characters "Sun" and "Moon" behind them. These two characters combined together were the "Ming" of the Chinese characters.
There is an octagonal pattern on the front of the robe: Bagua diagram. In the middle of the picture are the two symbols "Yin" and "Yang". Yin and Yang are opposite.
Cheng is the basic principle of Chinese philosophical thought. People believe that this respected symbol can produce magic, so monks, wizards, Feng Shui masters and ordinary people regard it as mascots and amulets.
The scar-faced man Xiao Yu had seen walked into the room and sat on the right side of the altar. He was wearing a white robe, the only one on his neck
The person with a rosary hanging on it. Xiao Yu didn't know much about the rituals of the Triad Association, but he did know that such rituals were usually called
He was the "Incense Master" hosted and acted as a spiritual leader. Some of them were the second in command of the Triad Association. Scarface was obviously the Incense Master.
When the gang members of the Sanhe Association saw Fang Tianyuan and others coming in, they all surrounded them and seemed very excited.
Zhuo Zhenhai waved his hand to stop the excited gang members and looked at Fang Tianyuan coldly: "What wind is blowing today? Mr. Fang, the leader of Hutchison, will come to our small temple condescendingly?"
Fang Tianyuan smiled faintly: "If the main hall of the Sanhehui Association is still a small temple, then there will be no place in Hong Kong that can hold the second master!" The Sanhehui Association chose to open the incense hall at this time, obviously trying to give itself a warning.
Zhuo Zhenhai made a gesture of invitation, Fang Tianyuan sat next to him, and Xiao Yu and Zhu Hou stood on his side respectively.
Zhuo Zhenhai hit his palm: "Get wine!"
Two strong men with naked upper bodies walked into the incense hall with two large wine jars. Both of them had black veils on their arms. Fang Tianyuan frowned, and Zhuo Zhenhai made his attitude clear from coming. The triad would definitely stand up for the dead Sang Gou.
Zhao Jinliang, the leader of Hong'an Society, personally filled Fang Tianyuan with wine. Zhuo Zhenhai picked up the big bowl in front of him: "These two jars are sorghum that I specially brought from the Northeast. Fang Ye is a VIP guest of our Triad Association. Of course, I want to bring out the most powerful wine to entertain you!"
