The next day, the Lu Family Ancestral Hall in the eastern suburbs of Anrong City.
Lu Clan Ancestral Hall is just a place name, because there used to be a magnificent Lu Clan Ancestral Hall here, but now the Lu Clan Ancestral Hall has long been dilapidated and rebuilt, and now a Chinese-style mansion has been built here, called "Prosperous Ye Zhai".
Obviously, this flourishing Ye residence should be one of the properties of the Ye family. However, the Ye family may be trying to avoid suspicion, so the ownership of this house actually falls on a rich man in Anrong City, and Lu Qingshan found this rich man last night and asked him to sell this house. After the rich man knew Lu Qingshan's identity, he agreed without saying a word.
So this morning, the house has been renamed "Handed down Lu House". This is to show many people that the Lu family members have returned, and now the underground forces in Anrong City have the surname Lu.
At the same time, Lu Qingshan posted a post to open Xiangtang, planning to announce in a high-profile way to the people in Anrong City that he, Lu Qingshan, has taken over Wolongtang and Wuyitang, and Wolongtang has been surnamed "Lu" since then.
There are many rules for opening incense halls in Gelaohui, and they are divided into two types: big incense halls and small incense halls. There is no doubt that this time when Lu Qingshan comes back, he must open the Daxiangtang.
However, the rules for opening the Daxiangtang are very cumbersome, and the elders of the Gelaohui are required to be present, but there are not many elders of the Gelaohui now, and the few remaining elders were killed by the Ye family last time, so this time Lu Qingshan opened Xiangtang is somewhat bleak.
Luckily, Lu Qingshan was a bit lucky, and found a veteran of the Gelaohui in the area of the Lu Family Ancestral Hall. This old man was over a hundred years old. He suffered from severe cataracts, and his eyes were basically blind. Moreover, the Ye family was in charge of Wolong. After the church, the opinions of these elders would not be respected at all, so basically the old man was ignored.
The old man's name is Xie Deyuan, and he used to be a member of the Gelaohui auditorium, and the members of the gang respectfully call him "Boss Xie". The people in the auditorium are naturally responsible for copying documents and formulating the rules and etiquette of the gang, which can be regarded as "civilian positions" in the gang. Although Xie Deyuan doesn't know kung fu, his status in the gang is very high. In the past, the gang rules were strict, and the only ones who could be called "bosses" in the gang could only be the chief and deputy leaders of the gang, as well as the sitting hall, accompanying hall, and auditorium. Only the elders such as Xingtang, Zhitang, Huyin, and Xiangchang can be called "the boss", followed by titles such as the second of the sages and the fifth of the red flag. In short, the titles represent the status in the gang.
Although Xie Deyuan doesn't know kung fu, since he is "Boss Xie", he was naturally very unusual in the gang back then. Although Boss Xie didn't know kung fu, he was a civil servant in the Republic of China, and he was considered a real "cultural person". There were not many cultural people in that era, so Xie Deyuan was indeed respected by the gang brothers.
It's a pity that those past years can only be remembered in Xie Deyuan's memory. The "Boss Xie", who is now down and out, never thought that he would be able to appear in front of everyone again as a big brother of the elder brother's association in his lifetime, and accept everyone's admiration , even though his eyes can't see clearly, he can feel this feeling of being superior and valued by others, and this feeling is really good.
Indeed, when Xie Deyuan was wearing a white gown and standing in the middle of the lobby of the house, presiding over various guild ceremonies, his white hair was fluttering, and he really had an indescribable majesty.
Now Xie Deyuan is the only surviving elder in Pingchuan Province, but his appearance finally made the opening of Xiangtang feel "official". In addition, although the other elders were gone, their descendants and disciples dared to join in, so they were considered decent.
Lu Qingshan once said that those elders who supported him before, their descendants or disciples were not willing to support Lu Qingshan, because these descendants and disciples of these elders were very realistic and believed that it was impossible for Lu Qingshan to regain control of Wolong Hall and Gelaohui , so these younger generations will never do "losing business". But now, knowing that Lu Qingshan has controlled Wolong Hall and Wuyi Hall, these people took the initiative to come to congratulate them, because they all realized that it is good to have a good relationship with Lu Qingshan.
The reality is like this, there are very few people in this world who give charcoal in a timely manner, but there are many people who are willing to add icing on the cake.
Lu Qingshan is also used to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world, so he is very clear about the appearance of these people, but he still greets them with a smile on his face. See you later.
This time, Lu Qingshan is the absolute protagonist of the opening of the incense hall, and Qin Lang will naturally not steal the limelight, but Qin Lang naturally made a point of this incident, on the one hand, to congratulate Lu Qingshan, and on the other hand, to sit here, so as not to cause any trouble People come to make trouble. After all, Lu Qingshan had just taken over Wolong Hall and Wuyi Hall, so it is possible for the Ye family to find this opportunity to take revenge.
This time the ceremony of opening the incense hall was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Xie Deyuan. Speaking of it, there was no time for rehearsal for this matter, and Xie Deyuan hadn't hosted it for decades, but he quickly entered the state, and even gave people the feeling that he was more imposing and elegant than decades ago .
The most important thing about opening the incense hall this time is to confirm that Lu Qingshan is the heir of the Gelaohui. Not only that, Lu Qingshan is also the hall master of Crouching Dragon Hall, responsible for the management and revival of the entire gang. As for the people in Wuyitang, they were all included under the banner of Wolongtang.
This time, the structure of Wolong Hall was completely restored to the previous structure, and the gang was divided into inner eight halls and outer eight halls. The inner eight halls are the Dragon Hall, the League Hall, the Xiang Hall, the Zuo Hall, the Accompanying Hall, the Auditorium, and the Executive Hall. There are twelve "uncles" in the inner eight halls, which are equivalent to twelve elders, among which Xie Deyuan is still in charge. The "grandfather" of the auditorium. These "uncles" are the big bosses of the gang, almost under one person and above ten thousand.
Outer eight halls are divided into ten sequences, also known as "ten cards" and "ten factions", but in fact there are still only eight cards, because members of the gang taboo "four" and "seven" rankings. Therefore, there are only the Paiba master, the second sage master, and the third master Henghou in the eight outer halls. Next, it is the fifth steward, the sixth Xunfeng, the eighth Jigang, the ninth listing, and the tenth camp gate.
Inner Eight Halls and Outer Eight Halls, each performing their duties, formed a big gang with clear rules.
And Qin Lang became the Keqing Elder of the Gelaohui. Lu Qingshan also sent an ancestral gang letter money to Qin Lang in front of everyone. This one had a gossip picture on the back and four words "Jinlandu County" on the front. Letter money in Chinese characters is equivalent to the token of the Gelaohui. This means that Qin Lang, the guest elder, has the right to monitor the entire guild, and can "clean up the door" on behalf of the guild leader when necessary.
Some people who don't know the origin of Qin Lang didn't care about Qin Lang as an elder guest at first. After all, there are such guest officials in many gangs, but after seeing Lu Qingshan donating money to Lu Qingshan in public, these people realized that Qin Lang This elder Keqing is really not simple, and he feels that he cannot be offended.
The ceremony of opening the incense hall lasted for a full hour, and during this period, no one came to make trouble. However, if something happened, Qin Lang specially asked Monk Jianxiang and Wu Yingmeng to investigate around, just because he was worried that something would happen.
Fortunately, it all went well.
Until there was a noise at the door of the house.
