Volume II, Chapter 18: The Stronghold of the Heaven and Earth Society

When they arrived at Furong Town, it was already evening, Hong Xiguan and Xiao Peng walked into the gate of Furong Town with a few hares in their hands and bows and arrows on their backs, and Hong Wending was carrying two pheasants in his hands and quietly followed Hong Xiguan.

The officers and soldiers standing guard at the city gate did not pay much attention to them, and there were many hunters who usually entered and exited Furong Town, but the gate official looked at the game in their hands and smashed their mouths, looked moved, touched the money bag, and finally gave up.

Hong Xiguan took Xiao Peng and Hong Wending to an alley, and on both sides of the alley were the back doors of some houses. Looking down the alley one by one, finally, Hong Xiguan saw a special mark near the back door of one of the houses, this mark seemed to be the traces of several walls caused by the weathering of time, and only the core people of the Heaven and Earth Society could understand this mark.

"Tuk ...... Sincere...... Tuk, tuk tuk ......"

Hong Xiguan stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door with a certain rhythm, and after knocking three times in a row, an indifferent voice came from inside the door, "Who?"

Hong Xiguan replied in a deep voice: "Selling plasters." ”

Inside the door: "What kind of plaster are you selling?"

Hong Xiguan: "Detoxification and vision restoration ointment, just apply it for 7749 days, and the blind can regain their sight." ”

Mennei: "Oh, it's amazing, how much does it cost?"

Hong Xiguan: "It's a bit expensive, three taels of gold, three taels of silver." ”

Inside the door: "Five taels of gold, five taels of silver or not?"

Hong Xiguan: "Oh, why do you have to come out so much?"

Mennei: "Not much, not much, as long as I can regain my understanding, even if I can make you a cow and a horse, I am willing." ”

Hong Xiguan: "The earth is high and high, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful through the ages." ”

Inside the door: "The door faces the sea, and the Sanhe River flows for thousands of years." Who's the brother out there?"

Hong Xiguan: "Brother Yi asked me for my surname and name, my original home is Muyangcheng, Songlin Li Jinniang's mother, and Huating Jieyi is surnamed Hong." ”

As soon as Hong Xiguan finished speaking, there was a commotion in the door, "Senior Brother Hong, it's Senior Brother Hong who is here." ”

"Open the door quickly. ”

Xiao Peng was dumbfounded when he heard it beside him, what made him in a daze was not the long and complex secret words of the Heaven and Earth Society, but the secret words...... Isn't this the code word that Wei Xiaobao said when he connected with the people of the Heaven and Earth Society? He always thought that it was the old man Jin who broke it blindly? This ...... This...... This Nima is really lying in a groove, but the poem that Hong Xiguan read at the end is a little interesting.

"Crunch"

The wooden door was opened, and a tall and thin young man came out, and said softly: "Senior Brother Hong, Wen Ding, and this brother, please come inside." ”

Hong Xiguan nodded to him, and was not polite, and took the lead in entering the wooden door, and after Hong Wending and Xiao Peng also entered the door, the young man looked left and right, and found no tail, so he closed the wooden door, and then returned to the chair next to a vegetable patch in the backyard.

There were three young people standing in the courtyard at this time, and when they saw Hong Xiguan coming in, they didn't say much, but just stretched out their hands and motioned for Hong Xiguan to come in and speak, but from the eyes of those young people looking at Hong Xiguan, it can be known that they are full of reverence for Hong Xiguan.

"Senior Brother Hong, you're finally here. ”

"Senior Brother Hong, it's time to wait for you. ”

“......”

As soon as they entered the courtyard, several young people spoke almost in unison, and Hong Xiguan patted them on the shoulder cordially and said, "Are the brothers okay?"

"It's all okay, since that incident eight years ago, we've been lurking here, and we haven't made any big moves, so we haven't been exposed. Senior Brother Hong, what about you? Five years ago, I received a message from your flying pigeon, saying that you were in Guide Mansion, why did you come to Kaifeng Mansion now?"

Hong Xiguan smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, it's a shame to say, it's hard to say! By the way, I'll introduce you to a brother first." This is Xiao Peng, my sworn brother, Brother Xiao was originally a loyal and good queen, but he is the descendant of the soldiers under the command of my Ming national hero Yuan Chonghuan Yuan Lao General, and he is also a man of lofty ideals who is determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. In the past few years, it is thanks to Brother Xiao that I have a place to live with Wending. It's a pity that in the past few days, he was accidentally recognized by a court eagle dog who returned to his hometown to visit relatives, which attracted officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress, so he had to evacuate. ”

After listening to Hong Xiguan's words, several people hugged their fists and saluted Xiao Peng, "It turned out to be Brother Xiao, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Xiao Peng returned the salute and said, "I've seen a few big brothers." ”

After the two sides met the ceremony, the young man who looked the oldest said: "Senior Brother Hong, a few days ago, we received a secret letter from the chief helmsman to you, and the chief helmsman instructed you to hand it over to you personally, we are having a headache how to find you, I didn't expect you to come by yourself, but it was just in time! ”

"Oh, where is the letter?" asked Hong Xiguan with a grim expression.

"In my place, since I received the letter, I have not dared to leave my body, and I have been carrying it in my arms!" The man who spoke took out a well-painted envelope from the placket of his coat, on which were written the words Xiguan himself.

Hong Xiguan did not shy away from a few people, directly opened the envelope, took out the letter to watch, after reading the letter, his face became very solemn, handed the letter to Xiao Peng, and said: "Third brother, take a look!"

Xiao Peng nodded, took the letter and read it, after several years of study, Xiao Peng can already understand traditional Chinese characters, and it is naturally no problem to read a letter. As Xiao Peng expected, Chen Jinnan explained in the letter about the treasure map of the Ming Dynasty, and asked Hong Xiguan to answer the five young people with the treasure map tattooed on their backs, Emperor Hu Dedi, Ma Chaoxin, Cai Dezhong, Li Shikai, and Fang Dahong, these five boys are the famous Shaolin Five Ancestors in the Hongmen established by Hong Wending in the future.

The letter instructed Hong Xiguan to send the five small ones to the Honghua Pavilion in Niujiazhuang on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, so that Chen Jinnan could make up a treasure map and take out the treasure for the great cause of restoring the Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty.

After reading the letter, Xiao Peng couldn't help but sigh again in his heart, the inertia and self-correction of this plot are really not covered, he originally thought that his actions had changed the plot, but he didn't expect to go around and around, and finally came back.

Returning the letter to Hong Xiguan, Hong Xiguan thought about it, and still handed the letter to the three young people to read.

Seeing this, Xiao Peng knew that there were some words that did not need to avoid these people, and said with a slight frown: "Second brother, there are still less than two months before the big Chinese New Year's Eve, but we don't even know where the five primary ones are, how to answer them......?" I'm a little worried. ”

Hong Xiguan glanced at Hong Wending, nodded, groaned slightly, and said: "I have a big brother who lives at the foot of Dengfeng Song Mountain, we can send Wending to him first, which happens to be closer to Shaolin Temple, and we can go there to inquire about the news of the five elementary schools." ”

As soon as Hong Xiguan finished speaking, one of the three young people patted his chest and said: "Senior Brother Hong, don't worry! Although we are not good at martial arts, we can't help much, we can still handle the trivial matter of running errands and sending letters, now that you have exposed your whereabouts, you will inevitably let the government find out, or try not to go out and walk around, senior brother, tell me your eldest brother's address, I will send a letter, make an appointment with him to meet the place, and then you will go secretly." ”

Hong Xiguan thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, then please brother." ”

"Hehe, what did Senior Brother Hong say? During this time, you and Wen Ding and this Xiao brother can live here with peace of mind!"

After everyone had decided to do so, they didn't say more, and Hong Xiguan wrote a letter to the brother who volunteered to deliver the letter, and the man took the letter and set off overnight to Dengfeng.

Xiao Peng knew that the plot was about to officially begin.
