Whirlwind Tai Chi Li Erhai

Chapter 114 Tianya Pavilion

After passing Hutou Gate, Tianya Pavilion is in front of you.

Just as I was about to go up, I suddenly heard creaking behind me, and when I looked back, the Tiger Head Gate was closed.

Looking around, I didn't see a single person.

Both Li Erhai and Lin Juan were taken aback. Could it be that this meeting was a Hongmen banquet?

If this is the case, this time it is really self-inflicted, and there must be no return.

If it was Li Erhai alone, the Hutoumen would still not be able to shut him down, but now that there is Lin Juan, she is like a tiger breaking its limbs and an eagle breaking its wings.

Anyway, it's already in, so it's useless to think about it.

After walking for four or five minutes, there was a fork in the road, and eight or nine men in white rushed out all of a sudden, and quickly controlled Lin Juan.

One of the leaders waved his hand to signal Li Erhai to move on.

Li Erhai knew that Lin Juan was safe, but the other party just didn't want her to know about it.

Nodding to Lin Juan, she quickly went up.

Soon came to the pavilion seen in the distance.

The pavilion is an octagonal pavilion with a plaque hanging above it, "Wangjing Pavilion".

Not Tianya Pavilion.

There is a stone table in the pavilion, and a piece of paper is pressed on it.Li Erhai stretched out his hand to take a look, and wrote "Go three miles to the right".

After a closer look, it turns out that after entering the pavilion, there is a downward path on the right.

The trees here are even more dense, and the mountain road is winding, and it is almost impossible to see the road in ten steps.

Even Li Erhai, a highly skilled and courageous person, feels a little uneasy now.

This is also a stone-step road, which is all chiseled out of bluestone and cleaned spotlessly.

Who are the people here?Occupying this place, secluded from the world, and yet keeping it in order is really confusing.

Finally arrived at a pavilion, built on top of a cliff.

When he looked up, he saw the three characters of "Tianya Pavilion".

In front of the door, there are two old men in white clothes holding whisks, standing on both sides.

Seeing Li Erhai's arrival, they were like stone men, without any reaction.

He stepped over the high threshold and entered the door.

It may be because there are few windows in this pavilion, it is a bit dark inside.Although his eyesight was excellent, after Li Erhai came in, he couldn't see clearly, as if there was an old man with white hair and beard sitting in front of him.

After a while, I can see clearly that there is a large platform on the front wall, and there is an incense burner on it. Buddha incense is burning inside, and the smoke is lingering.

There are two Taishi chairs on the left and right in front of the platform, the left one is empty, and an old man with white hair and childlike face sits on the right chair.

"You came."

"Yes, here I am, sir."

"You can call me Mr. Hu."

"Hello, Mr. Hu."

"May I ask what Mr. Li did here yesterday?"

"To be honest, sir, the county wants to build a scenic spot here, and I'm here to explore the way."

"Scenic spot, what is a scenic spot?"

"It's just to tidy up and make it more beautiful, so that people from other places can come and play here."

"I have lived here for more than 600 years, and I have never heard of scenic spots. What's the use of doing this?"

As soon as he heard that the other party had lived here for more than 600 years, Li Erhai immediately confirmed what he thought yesterday, that their attire was the style of the Ming Dynasty.

I have lived here for more than 600 years, but the villagers basically don't know it. This is hidden deep enough.

I really didn't expect that in order to build a scenic spot, I unexpectedly discovered a big secret. Once it is revealed, it will be a big news.

But since then, the peace of their lives has been broken. Is it right or wrong?

"Mr. Hu has lived here for a long time, he is an immortal."

"Mr. Li is very eloquent. I don't care if he is a fairy or not. I just follow the legacy of my ancestors and guard the mountain."

"May I ask Mr. Hu, are you born and raised here?"

"No."

"Looking at your accent yesterday, it seems that you are not a local. I basically don't understand what your people are saying. However, the words of your husband are similar to ours."

"Mr. Li, the reason why I let you in alone is to have an open and honest chat with you. It's a long story, and I don't know where to start."

"Mr. Hu, since you have said that you are open and honest, then I will know everything."

"Okay, okay, the old man didn't see the wrong person, and he didn't choose the wrong person at the beginning."

"I didn't choose the wrong person at the beginning, what do you mean?"

"I can't say anything about this matter for the time being, but I will tell you the truth in the future."

"Since it's inconvenient, I won't force it."

"Actually, you, Mr. Li, have a deep relationship with us, and you will know about it in the future. Let's talk about your scenic spot first today."

"I lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, isolated from the world. The outside world is changing with each passing day, but we know little about it. Although we will also inquire, we still don't know much about the outside world because we dare not go far."

"The world is reincarnated, and there are always some things that catch people off guard. I never thought that you broke the tranquility of this mountain in the end. Now I really don't know whether what I did at the beginning was a blessing or a curse."

The more Li Erhai listened, the more confused he became. He didn't know what the old man meant.But after listening to it, it seems that it is always related to myself.

Is my life experience still a mystery?

"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind right now. Before answering your questions, this old man has an unfeeling request, and you must agree!"

"Mr. Hu, please speak."

"I also know that after retreating in this mountain for hundreds of years, it must be far behind the outside world. Sooner or later, it will be impacted, and it will even be wiped out mercilessly."

"Since you are here to do this, it seems that you can make the decision. I only have one condition, that is, no matter what you do, you must not harm my people."

Li Erhai nodded seriously and said, "I promise!"

The old man nodded slightly, stroked his long white beard with his hands, and said, "I believe you!"

"I waited for my ancestors to be from Shanxi, and then moved here. It's a long story."

"More than 600 years ago, Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty listened to slanderous rumors and carried out a campaign to eliminate the Tibetans. The founding father Zhu Yuanzhang had 26 sons, and I waited for the king to serve as the acting king Zhu Gui. He was the thirteenth uncle of Emperor Jianwen and was granted the title of Datong."

"Unexpectedly, Emperor Jianwen suddenly issued a decree to cut off the title of Daiwang."

"The cut of the title shows that Emperor Jianwen is very dissatisfied with his thirteenth uncle. If this happens, he will definitely be killed."

"In a hurry, the acting king decided to leave with hundreds of people from his clan and trusted ministers disguised as ordinary people."

"Walk all the way aimlessly, and arrived at this mountain. The military division saw that it was extremely concealed, and it was a treasured place of refuge."

"At that time, your Fengnan Village didn't exist yet, and it was deserted for tens of miles. The King Dai had no other choice, so he agreed to stop here."

"Although there is no one around, in order to prevent the court from prying eyes and ears, a temple was built here, and a group of people pretended to be monks to hide their eyes and ears."

"These people who follow the king, except for the surname Zhu of the king, are basically Pumi, and the old man is no different."

"We Pumi people are loyal to the king, and we can fight for the king, unyielding until death. This is why Daiwang brought us."

"We Pumi people have been advocating white since ancient times, and white symbolizes auspiciousness, so you can see that everyone here is wearing white clothes and hats."

Only then did Li Erhai understand that it was so.

When I first saw them yesterday, I thought they were playing tricks.

Li Erhai asked: "Hundreds of years have passed, and you are still hiding here from generation to generation. Why don't you want to go out?"

"You don't know us Pumi people. We Pumi people are the most honest. When we promised to stay by the king's side, we will keep guarding him, even if he has ascended to heaven. People are guarding others, but no one is guarding the tomb."

"What does Mr. Hu mean, you Pumi people have been guarding the tomb for the king here?"

"Yes, it may seem funny to you, but we are persistent. Even if we use our lives, we must protect this land."

Li Erhai felt admiration in his heart. Although they were foolish and loyal, this kind of spirit was admirable.

"How many of you are there now?"

"There are still more than 120 people. According to the genealogy records, there were more than [-] people who came here with the king of Dai. However, life in the mountains is difficult, and with several plagues, the number of people is getting smaller and smaller."

"Why don't you go out?"
.
"We stay here, on the one hand, out of our loyalty to the king, and on the other hand, the dynasty has changed outside. We don't know what happened. You can tell that our accent is very different from yours. Difficult to communicate with outsiders."

"Needless to communicate with you, let's go back to our hometown now. I'm afraid we won't be able to speak the language with the people in our hometown. The age is too long, and everyone will change."

"Then Mr. Hu, how can you speak our local dialect?"

"To tell you the truth, we captured a few hunters from your village who entered here in the early years. In order not to reveal the secret, we didn't release them back. One of them said that he was a high school graduate, so I asked him to speak your local dialect. for later use."

"Are those hunters still there?"

"I'm sorry, only one person is still there, the one who taught me how to speak, and the others all died of illness."

Li Erhai heard from his parents that one of the missing hunters graduated from high school, and his name seemed to be Pang Zhonghua. However, that person was not a local, but was sent to the village from the city.His family has come to look for him many times, but they left crying every time.

"Mr. Hu, can I see him?"

"Okay, I will arrange it later."

"Looking at the people here, it seems that they all know martial arts."

"Yes, back then we came out with King Dai, and they were all carefully selected. Among them, Chen Liu, the military advisor, was not from Pumi. He was a Han. Among us, the prestige is very high, and we also feel that the king is highly valued."

"When he got here, he wandered around the mountains for more than a month before he chose a place to stand, which is what you see now."

"At that time, this place was at the junction of the three counties. In addition, it was desolate and uninhabited, and no one cared about it. The military division felt that it was very safe, and it was a treasured land of geomantic omen."

"The military master is afraid that we will be discovered one day in the future, so in order to defend ourselves, he teaches everyone to practice martial arts. He devoted himself to research and created a set of Whirlwind Tai Chi, focusing on actual combat, which is very good."

It turns out that this is how Whirlwind Tai Chi came about.

"It's a pity that if you want to practice this Whirlwind Tai Chi, you need to be talented and smart. Most people can only practice superficially. Later, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has changed beyond recognition. No one here can practice this boxing."

"But our habit of practicing martial arts has been preserved. Men, women, and children all practice martial arts, and no one is an exception. Therefore, there are many masters among us."

Li Erhai thought to himself, these foreigners and these stories are the beauty of the scenic spot. Taking them in and letting them participate in the construction and management of the scenic spot will not only allow them to gradually integrate into the new society, but also make their lives more meaningful. Assure.
