Chapter 123: Dangerous Escape
The trees at night had not yet sprouted, and the north wind was howling, but the trees were too dense to cover the stars in the sky. The glow of the huge moon shone brightly from the trunks of the trees. With this little moonlight, a man walked along a steep mountain road.
The man carried a large oval fan with three copper bells woven into it. There were several holes in his boots under his feet, but even then he had to cross the mountain when the morning sun showed a little warmth.
This is the only thing he has done since he left the empty pavilion, and he doesn't know how the eldest brother and second brother are doing now. He felt that he was the most useless, he usually traveled in the mountains and rivers, and was attracted by the magnificent, beautiful and gentle beauty of the Central Plains, and he did not go home for several months after leaving the pavilion.
My father and mother saw that I was the youngest, and spoiled my two brothers who were worried that they could not afford the burden of the family, this pu fan was a gift from his father and mother when he was fifteen years old, and the texture of these three copper bell pu fans was better than that of the second brother. Father and mother also felt that he was wandering in other places and would inevitably be bullied, and this pu fan was extremely powerful, and no one dared to mess with him.
But now he doesn't know how to use it very well, only one of the bells to listen to what others are saying, to put it bluntly, he likes to listen to gossip, and when he comes home, he is amused by the gossip he hears and can't sleep all night.
But thanks to this bell, he told his father and mother a big secret he heard, and it was only for this reason that he himself entered a desperate situation and could only escape with a fan on his back. Before going out, his father told him to find an older brother named Guo, and he asked where the person surnamed Guo was, but his father didn't say anything, so he quickly ran out of the empty pavilion.
……
The reason why the Empty Pavilion is called the Empty Pavilion is because this weak power sect likes a quiet and leisurely life, and among the three foreign sects, it is the only one that does not want to be disturbed. The reason is because he knows that he is weak and weak, and which sect he provokes will eventually ask for his own hardship.
And the location of the empty pavilion is not good after it is established, the Tibetan Sword Gate is located in the throat of the outer regions and the Central Plains martial arts, and the rocky beach is located above the north of the empty pavilion, and there is a place bordering the Tibetan Sword Gate, which means that the empty pavilion is just sandwiched between the two sects.
As for why he had to build a weak empty pavilion in such a sinister place, Pavilion Master Butterfly didn't tell his three sons, even if the three of them asked since they were young, they still didn't get the reason for coming. The eldest son's name is Butterfly Min, who is serving Butterfly Melodious and Niang Gu Hai, as well as the living life of men, women and children in the pavilion, and the second son Butterfly Jie is the cabinet supervisor of fan production and material procurement and trading, and is also the receiver of the future pavilion master, but he is too busy to think about it. The third son is called Butterfly Bell, speaking of this younger son, maybe the eldest and second son are too hard, and his father and mother don't have too high hopes for him, what do you want to do, just be happy.
So Butterfly didn't pay attention to the affairs of the family at all, seeing that the eldest brother and the second brother were busy, he couldn't help much, in fact, he just couldn't see the living child.
"Butterfly, go and bring the dyed cloth!"
The second brother called him, and he promised to get the cloth, and then he didn't know how much he needed, and he often took less, and ran several times, but the second brother didn't say anything.
"Little Lingling, I've washed all the cabbage, I'm going to stir-fry in a while!"
The eldest brother ordered him that he probably wouldn't be able to leave at this time, because the old man here was very tired from helping to make fans, so he had to cook it himself. He hurried to wash the cabbage. Anyway, others don't ask him to work, and he never takes the initiative. may also find that the third child is not a working material, whatever he wants, he can help.
The sound of the empty pavilion every day is none other than these things, in his eyes, the empty pavilion is too quiet, even if he uses magic to make silk on the fan after spinning, this movement is not heard by people outside.
Ten miles of light yarn, butterfly fan empty and long, this is the biggest reputation that outsiders hear about this empty pavilion. If a child enters the pavilion, he will think that it is a large area, and when he grows up, he will find that he can see it all in a few steps.
Butterfly's past flashed through his mind, and he stopped and moved forward quickly, trekking through mountains and rivers was an easy task for him, but at the moment he couldn't take the big road, so the road was winding and twisting, so as not to be overtaken. It's safer to shade the sky.
When he reached the top of the mountain, he let out a long sigh. Take a bite of the naan cake in the back, this thing is not delicious at all, it is dry, except for a few sesame seeds on it, the only taste is a little fresh and sweet, but this is not much. He heard that this thing would come after eating it, and he wouldn't be hungry.
At the end of the meal, he felt sick to his stomach, and quickly spit out a piece of bread that he had not swallowed. When the vomiting was gone, he got up and continued on his way. He had barely taken a few steps forward when he felt a cloud of wind sweeping behind him.
Someone was following him, and he knew what the wind was.
Ten years ago, when he was just seven years old, in order to expand their power, the three foreign sects proposed the conditions for the alliance of the Tibetan Sword Gate, the Empty Pavilion and the Rocky Beach. Because the empty pavilion is small and the power is humble, although it also agreed to form an alliance, it gives people a feeling of rejection thousands of miles away.
Butterfly married his wife when he was forty years old, and Gu Hai was still a girl from a small family who could only make fans, and only lived in a small family on the border with the foreign sects. Butterfly melodious because he doesn't like to argue with outsiders, and he doesn't like noisy life. When the empty pavilion was not yet built, his courtyard was full of flowers, and he also liked to raise butterflies the most.
These butterflies seem to have nothing special, but after the melodious care of the butterflies, each butterfly has spiritual power. Because the butterfly melodious found that as long as it touched a butterfly when he was five years old, it would follow him and was reluctant to leave, and he also checked himself to make sure that it was not because of any special flower fragrance on his body, but the butterfly just did not leave the place where he lived.
With his parents dying when he was in his twenties, he was there every day to bloom butterflies.
One day the butterfly brought another butterfly over, and then there were more and more butterflies, and he also felt that he should give the butterfly a home, so he planted a lot of flowers in the good home. Butterfly dances to him every day in order to thank Butterfly Melodious. Butterfly's melodious mood slowly improved. I thought it was some butterflies, until one day a butterfly died, and he was very sad to bury it, and vaguely found that the butterfly had turned into powder, and the powder formed a sentence.
"Butterfly dance, the exercise is self-contained."
This sentence made this twenty-year-old man a little confused, but he remembered it carefully. Every day, I bring food to the garden, sometimes I look obsessively at the butterflies flying around, and when I go to sleep, I think about that sentence. What is Butterfly Dance? Do you know how to dance?
Gradually, he realized that the butterflies flying around were actually a kind of dance. He woke up in the middle of the night, refreshed, and went to see butterflies among the flowers with a lamp. It's not dawn yet, so butterflies can't dance, right?
Unexpectedly, the light on those colored butterflies shuttled into lines of different colors, and these lines had different paths, as if revealing that it was an incomprehensible and exquisite dance.
The butterfly danced freely and freely to those bright lines, and began to move inflexibly, and fell several times with his hands and feet. He got up and continued to jump until he was so sore that he had to leave the flowers. After two days, he felt that the pain in his body was gone, so he got up in the middle of the night and danced with the butterflies.
Later, he found that he could fly, and he danced more and more easily, and with the dance steps, he felt that he could sense the thoughts of those butterflies, and he was surprised to find that as soon as he stretched out his hand, a butterfly could be punched out of his hand, and it looked light and fluttering, but it could touch the screen that separated the house from the garden on the opposite side, and with a "bang", the screen was punched out of a hole.
Until the end, every line of this dance step was formed in his mind, and he flew higher and higher, his light work was as erratic as a butterfly, and he could have sticky steps, and he could not catch the torture of falling anywhere.
At that time, he was thirty-five years old, and this power made him begin to expand his power, and the empty pavilion began to take shape, so he wanted to make a move. I just don't know what this empty pavilion is for. He secretly went to see the Tibetan Sword Gate, where there were all kinds of weapons, and the swords worn by the disciples were all different and uniform, and the rocky beach had not been completely established, but the territory was large, and the people also had specialties, and the ore was scattered everywhere.
Looking at the outside world, there should be something special. This time, he met a girl who was quietly making a fan with her mother in a small family, with a wooden hairpin stuck in her head, she looked different from the people of the foreign lands, she was not so big-shouldered and round-waisted, or her facial contours were so exaggerated, and her slightly thin hands delicately sewed two butterflies into the fan.
Butterflies, butterflies, this is the woman I like, not at all like them. asked the girl's surname Gu, because she was not married yet, and she was only with her mother, and her father died early, so he took root in that small family and made fans with the mother and daughter. After the fan in the hands of the butterfly, especially the fan made by the butterfly, the fan is selling better and better. Originally an ordinary small family, they could eat a little meat during the Chinese New Year, and through his help, they became rich.
At this time, Die Melodious proposed to marry Gu Buniang as his wife, and to make a fan can come to the courtyard where he lives. After hesitating, Miss Gu's mother agreed and followed him to her empty pavilion. At the age of forty, he had his first son, and in the autumn of the following year he had a second son. At this time, with the help of Gu Hai, many helpless or family members who couldn't open the pot at home came here to make fans.
The empty pavilion slowly became an empty pavilion made of fans, and it may have been affected by the melodious lifestyle of the butterfly, and the people here are very quiet, helping each other, even if it is occasionally noisy, giggling and laughing is very comfortable.
A year and a half later, Butterfly Melodious had a third son. But at this time, he didn't know what was wrong with his body, and he couldn't practice martial arts anymore. Lao Lai's eldest son is filial and brings the food every day.
If the empty pavilion continued like this, it immediately aroused the suspicion of the Hidden Sword Gate and the Rocky Beach.
