Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 494

On the way the next day, Xu Guangling saw this family.

It was a provincial road heading north, and a tractor was walking slowly on the road. Black smoke from diesel burning burst out from the chimney, and the water vapor evaporated by the engine also murmured from the water tank to the road. Outward risk.

This is a very common phenomenon in many rural and remote places, but the two ladies Zhao Yu and Zheng Qin in the team have obviously never seen this.

Because they stared at the tractor like curious babies.

Xu Guangling suddenly remembered a sentence, "Uncle, your kart is so big!"

It was "Love Apartment" played by classmates in the dormitory when I was in college. The young lady Lin Wanyu in it said something when she saw the tractor.

But the tractor in front of me is not as handsome as in the movie, far from it.Of course, their shapes and models are also different.Not to mention its dilapidated appearance and the trailer full of potholes and rust, just listening to the sound of the engine, you can tell that this tractor is already very old.

It looks like it's about to turn off at any time.

This voice made people unconsciously feel worried when they heard it.

But soon, the point of view changed, and the two women looked away from the tractor. They were attracted by the scene in front of the tractor.

Two people, an old man in his sixties and a young man in his thirties, were doing the same movements with different rhythms.

They all wear something like clogs, or in other words, simple slippers with wooden bottoms, um, not on their feet, but on their hands.Because they are walking with their feet and hands now.

First, walk a few steps normally, and then lean forward with your whole body, using your hands as support.

And the "shoes" on their hands prevent them from being hurt by their hands, so that they will not be damaged and injured after three times or two, and then bloody.

But with this way of walking, although their hands will not be injured, their entire body will inevitably be damaged and injured in this process of frequently standing up and falling to the ground in the five-body posture.

"Master, what are they doing?" Zhao Yu asked curiously.

"They are making a pilgrimage to the mountain, and some are also called pilgrimage or pilgrimage." Mr. Zhang said, "In this way of prostration, they go to their holy mountain or a certain temple."

"Is this all the way through?" Like Zhao Yu, Zheng Qin was inexplicably surprised.

"Yes."

"Then how far will they go?" Zhao Yu asked.

"It's not necessarily true. It's very close, and there are a few miles away. A little farther, there are tens of miles. Even further, there are hundreds of miles. Even further, there are thousands of miles. " Mr. Zhang said.

"How many miles, dozens of miles, hundreds of miles, how many...thousands of miles?"

The beautiful eyes of the two ladies widened at the same time. It is estimated that even if aliens appeared in front of them, they might not be so shocked.

How many miles have you walked in this way?

unimaginable.

Totally unimaginable!

Don't even talk about this way of prostration, just walk well, how many people can say that they can walk thousands of miles?

I still remember that when I was in college, Zhao Yu once joined a cycling club in the college for a short time. At that time, walking a hundred miles by bike was something that all members celebrated and thought it was a great thing .

After the ride, they took photos and had dinner together. Zhao Yu still keeps those photos, and will often take them out to look at them every one or two years.

In a sense, that was a "medal" from the past.

Although, compared with the various awards she has received at home and abroad in recent years, it is not worth mentioning.

"In the snow area, and some other places, some people will make such a pilgrimage when they are old. This is a belief, a ceremony, and a return to their spiritual roots." Mr. Zhang Lao said lightly, "Among these people, There are poor people, there are rich people, there are people of all identities."

"But when worshiping, there is no distinction of identity, they are all called worshipers."

"In many people's minds, rich and poor, high and low, are things that have to pass away. Only pilgrimage is the biggest thing in their life, and it is also a lifetime career. After pilgrimage, no matter how long they live, they can feel at ease. I went there worrying about it, but without experiencing such a pilgrimage, life would be incomplete.”

The career of a lifetime.

In the silence of the two women, Xu Guangling suddenly thought of a poem by Su Dongpo from Zhang Lao's words.

"The heart is like a tree that has ashes, and the body is like a boat that is not tied. Ask your life achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou."

The name of this poem is "Self-inscribed Portrait of Jinshan", which was inscribed by Su Dongpo when he visited Longyou Temple in Jinshan, similar to "Inscribed on the West Forest Wall" and so on.

Different from those previous inscriptions, this is the last poem in Su Dongpo's life, so it has a special meaning.

Two months after Jinshan, Su Dongpo passed away, and his life was frozen, in the historical facts, and in this poem.

Su Dongpo, courtesy name Zizhan, nicknamed Dongpo, was a writer, calligrapher, and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. ——This is the fixed frame in its history.

People in later generations know Su Dongpo from his poems, such as Shuidiaogetou and Da Jiangdongqu, etc., and Dongpo pork and Dongpo pork.

Yes, Su Dongpo is not only a writer, calligrapher, painter, he is also a gourmet.

Half-toned, self-opening, without "teaching school", not on the stage... gourmets.

Therefore, formal historical facts are dismissive.

But the funny thing is that there are many people in later generations, but it is Dongpo Rou and others who know that there is such a person as Su Dongpo.

Is this tragedy or comedy?

neither.

At the end of his life, Su Dongpo's understanding of himself was not poetry, calligraphy, painting, food, and of course, politics, but, "Ask Ruping's achievements in life, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou."

In Huangzhou, Su Dongpo experienced a great change in his life for the first time, from a student of the emperor and a big boss to a person waiting to die, a criminal, and a person in custody after he was released from prison.

Huizhou was demoted again after Su Dongpo recovered.

Danzhou was the last time Su Dongpo was demoted, a severe one, leading to "hell".

Ask Ru Ping's life achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou.

Is this a wry smile and self-deprecation?

Some people think so.

But if you look at it from another angle, the real "Su Dongpo" was actually achieved in Huangzhou, Huizhou, and Danzhou.Beyond time and space, this is his real "lifework".

Living in these three places is all his own doing.

It is also this "self" that makes him be him, let him be him.
