Chapter 068 Pandao
The head of the Qing Gang was to transport grain from the waterway to the government. In its heyday, among the large and small rivers along the canal, the Qing Gang floated thousands of flags on the river, which was quite spectacular. However, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the imperial grain was destroyed and could not carry grain. Since then, the main economic lifeline of the Qing Gang was cut off. Later, in the 12th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, there were 128 gangs and a half, with only six major gangs left. Later, the imperial court changed the transportation of grain to official transportation and no longer transported rivers. Since then, the grain boats did not open, the sparrow poles did not nod, and the Qing Gang was broken. After making a living, many young disciples had to make a living and smuggled smuggled goods and smuggled salt. The youth gang gradually slipped out of the system, went to the opposite side of the government, and became a veritable gang.
At the end of the 19th century, the Youth Gang even had dealings with Hongmen. The two sides were not at odds and gradually developed to recognize each other, and sometimes gave each other convenience.
The slogan of Hongmen is "anti-Qing and Fuming". Although the Qing Gang is not as explicit as Hongmen, it is still polite to the government on the surface and does not openly oppose the imperial court, but secretly, its attitude towards the government is also extremely hostile to the government. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the bigwigs of the Qing Gang ganged up and oppose the government according to one side.
However, on the whole, compared with Hongmen, the Qing Gang's resistance to the government is not as fierce as Hongmen, and the government has not compared the Qing Gang with Hongmen.
There are many people in the Qing Gang, and its internal organizational structure is divided into four nuns, six departments and 128 assistants. Si'an is the highest management organization of the Qing Gang, including Zhu Si'an, Liu Si'an, Huangsi'an and Shishi'an. It is in charge of Si'an and is the tycoon of the Qing Gang. The six departments are the executive bodies of the Youth Gang, including the Ministry of Public Affairs, the Ministry of Ceremonies, the Ministry of Household, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Under the six departments are each gang and half, led by the leader.
Qingbang is an organization outside the system. Its disciples come from all over the world. It is not easy to recognize whether they are their own brothers, so there is a market, that is, a market. Pankou is used to confirm his brother, so it is a secret of the Youth Gang and will never be passed on. It is not a person from the Youth Gang, and there is no way to know it. Pankou is also divided into three levels: nunnery, department and gang, which become nunnery, ministry and gang respectively.
An Dao is the top secret in the gang. The people who know An Dao are all the elders in the gang, the successor disciples designated by the veteran tycoon, or people with a very special status. The secret level of the help is the lowest, and generally the disciples know it. The ministry is in the middle and is controlled by the masters and helpers of each department.
The thirteen words said by Zhou Charter are the way! If the ordinary gang heard this, they would not take it seriously. Coincidentally, Zeng Guozhang is one of the four nuns in the Qing Gang. Although he does not belong to the Shishi nunnery, as the upper figure of the Qing Gang, he is familiar with the nunnery of the four major nunneries.
However, how can Zhou Charter say the opening of the Green Gang Shishi'an?
The origin of these thirteen words begins eight months ago, when Zhou Charter died in nine cities.
Eight months ago, Zhou Charter offended Li Hongzhang in Tianjin Wubei School and almost lost his head. Jin made Cui expose take him out of the school, ran to Jiulian City, and met Song Qing, the admiral of Sichuan. Song Qing asked him and Zhang Xun to take a team of people across the Yalu River and go to Asan to reinforce Ye Zhichao.
As a result, Zhou Charter strayed into the Soul Valley with people and almost became the ghost under the knife of Dongxue. Fortunately, Jin Shu persuaded the leader Cui Shiheng to release Zhou Charter and went to the capital of North Korea to rob the remains of Jin Yujun.
At that time, there were many internal crises in Dongxuejiao. Cui Shiheng knew that Lu Wenjun was plotting to seize power. In order to stop Lu Wenjun's conspiracy, Cui Shiheng handed over the shocking treasure of Dongxuejiao to Zhou Charter.
A leaping horse is engraved on the front of this lily iron, and an arrow is engraved on the back, with thirteen symbols around the arrow.
These 13 symbols are actually thirteen seal script characters, "Six ancestors on the wall of Dharma, Wengwu Qianwen Pandao!" Most of the ordinary people in North Korea can't read, let alone Chinese characters. The master knows Chinese characters, but he does not make it clear to the religious people. They just say that this is the thirteen-character truth of Dongxue religion. The religious people absolutely worship the master, but they are convinced that no one never cares about it.
It turned out that Cui Jiyu, the founder of Dongxuejiao, traveled China in his early years and met Liu Yuqing, the owner of the stone nunnery that was active in Manchuria. Liu Yuqing was the boss of the 19th generation of the youth gang. He was 70 years old, and Cui Jiyu was 31 years old when he was 31 years old. However, the two are as good at first sight and have a deep friendship.
Cui Jiyu wanted to establish Dongxue Education in North Korea, but he was alone and wanted to get support from the Youth Gang, and begged Liu Yuqing to introduce him to the gang. Liu Yuqing also knows that Cui Jiyu is a talent. If he can make a career in North Korea, the Youth Gang and others can also expand their power. Therefore, Liu Yuqing agreed to open a famous incense hall for the nine generations and worshiped Cui Jiyu. According to the Qing Gang, it was called "Xiaoxiang".
However, the person who went to Xiaoxiang can't be regarded as an official disciple of the Youth Gang. The Qing Gang's apprenticeship is extremely strict. If you go to Xiaoxiang, it can only be regarded as one foot inside and outside the door. The master will make a diligent assessment within three years after going to Xiaoxiang. This stage is called the three years of the teacher's visit to the apprentice. Three years later, the students must visit the master diligently for three years and let the master assess whether he is really determined to enter the house. This stage is called the three years of apprentice visiting the teacher. After six years of testing and determining the determination and character of the students, the master will begin to teach their basic ritual notes, or be taught by Shishi'an. After a year of study, after passing, the master chooses an auspicious day and reports to the household department. The household department begins to prepare for the opening of the Xiangtang and inform the six departments of the fouran and the three gangs and nine generations of the students. Seven years ago, this was regarded as an official disciple.
Cui Jiyu is dedicated to returning to North Korea to establish Dongxue Education. How can he wait for seven years? Not long after he met Xiaoxiang, he said goodbye to Liu Yuqing and returned to North Korea.
Although Cui Jiyu is only a disciple of Xiaoxiang of the Qing Gang, his identity is extremely special. He is a disciple of the owner of Shishian and the head of Dongxuejiao in North Korea. In the view of the Qing Gang, Dongxuejiao is the peripheral organization of the Youth Gang, or foreign aid. Therefore, when Cui Jiyu founded Dongxue Education, he received strong support from the Youth Gang. In the early days of the founding of Dongxue Education, Liu Yuqing not only gave Dongxue Education a large amount of money, but also told Cui Jiyu the nunnery of Shishi'an. Cui Jiyu could contact all parts of the Youth Gang with theandao. , get support.
This sentence is "The six ancestors on the wall of Dharma, Wengwu Qianwen Pandao!"
This sentence actually implies the origin of the Youth Gang. Wengyan, the ancestor of the Qing Gang, once became a monk in Shaolin Temple. In order to find the original source, the Qing Gang worshipped the ancestors of Dharma to the six ancestors, and preached Zen to establish a religious group. Therefore, the first sentence is "Six ancestors on the wall of Dharma". The second sentence pointed out the three ancestors of the Youth Gang, Weng Yan, Qian Jian and Pan Qing. Wengyan's martial arts are world-class, so it is called "Wenwu". Qian Jian is a scholar and elegant, so it is called "Qianwen", while Pan Qing is a businessman who is proficient in business, so he is called "Qian Dao".
With the help of Liu Yuqing, Dongxue Education has developed rapidly, and the followers have spread all over North Korea, becoming the largest sect in North Korea. Dongxuejiao became stronger and stronger, and there was no longer needed the sponsorship of the Youth Gang. Cui Jiyu's connection with the Youth Gang gradually became scarce. Liu Yuqing died, and the Dongxuejiao and the Youth Gang almost cut off contact, so theandao became useless and no one mentioned it anymore.
However, Cui Jiyu received the great kindness of the Qing Gang and was grateful to Liu Yuqing. Moreover, he was also a disciple of Xiaoxiang of the Qing Gang, and carved these thirteen words ofandao on the treasure of the town religion of Dongxue religion. This means that Dongxuejiao is a peripheral organization of the Youth Gang. However, he also knew that according to the rules of the Qing Gang, An Dao should not be easily leaked. Even if he is the successor of Dongxue, if there is no incense, he is not a disciple of the Qing Gang and can't know this An Dao. Therefore, Cui Jiyu only said to the outside world that this is the thirteen-character truth of Dongxue's teaching, which can exorcise diseases and reduce demons.
Later, Dong Xuejiao was severely suppressed by the North Korean court. Before Cui Jiyu could tell the origin of these thirteen-word truth, he was killed by North Korean officers and soldiers. However, the senior leaders of Dongxue Education, including Cui Shiheng, the successor, have also been rumored that Cui Jiyu has some contacts with the Qing Youth Gang, but the specific situation is not very clear.
When Zhou Charter got Li Tie, he also noticed these thirteen words, but he didn't expect that these thirteen words had anything to do with the Qing Gang, but he just felt strange how this Dongxue taught something had something to do with Zen Buddhism. After the death of the leader Cui Shiheng, Zhou Charter was once promoted as the leader by the congregation. Although he threw Li Tie into the Hufeiling Canyon, he was still the leader in the eyes of Han Lingzhun's old brothers.
Therefore, Han Lingzhun also told Zhou Charter some of the teachings of Eastern Studies from time to time, including the rumors of Cui Jiyu, the leader of Kaishan, and the Qing Gang. Zhou Charter only listened to these rumors and didn't think much about them.
This time, Zhou Charter was rescued by Zeng Guozhang's group of people, and he didn't understand what this group was all about. He judged that Zeng Guozhang's gang should be a Jianghu gang, but there are many gangs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang waters, including the Qing Gang, Hongmen, the Elder Brother's Association, the Triang Association, etc. Zhou Charter did not know which gang they belong to.
However, just as his life was hanging on the line, he saw a white arrow embroidered on the cuff of the robe on the inside of Zeng Guozhang's wrist!
On the Li iron, the thirteen-character truth is surrounded by an arrow!
Zhou Charter doesn't understand what this arrow means, let alone what the arrow has to do with the thirteen-character truth. However, there is an arrow on Zeng Guochang's cuff, which may be an opportunity!
Anyway, he is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Zhou Charter couldn't think much about it and shouted out the thirteen-word truth.
As a result, Zhou Charter bet right!
The arrow, like Pandao, is also one of the secret words of the Youth Gang. However, the arrow is relatively ordinary, which is equivalent to the emblem of the Qing Gang, which is widely used. It is often embroidered on the clothes of the gang or engraved on utensils.
