Postscript (New Story Prologue)
Postscript: A new story (the prelude to the new book)
The car stopped in Kong County, Gufenghe Guande got off, standing on the streets of Kong County, you will see Pingqiu Street running through the east and west of Kong County.
It was autumn, and pedestrians on the streets of Kong County were in a hurry, and they had their own affairs. No one paid attention to the ancient style and Guande who came from afar. Perhaps the ancient style and Guande were dressed too ordinary, and more likely that their cars were not outstanding, so the two stood by the roadside, and no one would take a look.
It is exactly the same as the ancient style coming and going quietly.
The leaves of the tall sycamore trees on the roadside have turned yellow. When the wind blows, a few leaves fall. As they shake, they just fall to Gu Feng's feet. Gu Feng reaches out to pick up a fallen leaf, looks at the veins of the leaves for a while, and says with emotion: "Life in the world, I suddenly feel like a traveler who travels far away... Whether it is a powerful person or a private life, it is all about his own choice. I just can't figure it out that the old man has been wandering among the people to avoid the ten-year catastrophe, but later when the politics became clear, why didn't he come back? Maybe it's hard to say that when General Secretary Xia was in power, he should also see General Secretary Xia's tolerance and lenient manner..."
"Also, why didn't he go back to Beijing to visit his former friend? It's not easy to survive the catastrophe and live until now. With the old man's eyes and judgment of the situation, he is still escaping something if he doesn't leave the mountain? The brothers who have passed the disaster are here, how touching it would be when they meet and smile to eliminate grudges. What a pity..."
He was so silent that he could not understand the feelings of the older generation, nor could he reach the height of Gu Feng's feelings of worrying about the country and the people. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said that Gu Feng might not be willing to face it but had to admit: "Is the old man no longer alive?"
"I was unwilling to face this fact at first, but at first, even if I am alive, I am still a hundred years old. Second, the old man had enough opportunities to return to the capital from the 1980s to the next thirty years, but he did not, just like a mud cow entering the sea, without any news. If I hadn't wanted to go against the wishes of *** and the wishes of several respected elderly people, I would have actually not hoped for my trip to Kong County."
"I don't understand very well. Mr. Gu, based on age, he should not be of the same generation as the old man. Why does she have such feelings for the old man?"
"I don't know either. Grandma and the old man are indeed not of the same generation, and grandma has never seen the old man at all, but she refused to tell the reason, but she just asked me to find the old man again and again. She knew the exact whereabouts of the old man. Even if the old man was no longer alive, she would still bring the ashes back to the capital, otherwise she would die with her eyes open!"
There must be a long-standing story of love, hate, and love. I am so deceiving that I dare not ask again. Some things are better than knowing.
"Let's go to the civil affairs department to take a look. If the elderly are alive, they are a hundred years old. For the proportion of the population of more than 200,000 in Kong County, it is definitely rare. The civil affairs department must have registered it."
However, what disappointed Gu Feng was that among the several centenarians registered by the civil affairs department, except for four or five old ladies, there was only one man named Rui. His name was Zhai Bao Family, who was born and raised from Kong County. He never left Kong County since he was a child to be a 100-year-old. Obviously, the Zhai Bao Family was not the person Gu Feng was looking for, and it was more obvious that the method of finding the whereabouts of the elderly from the civil affairs department... This road is not accessible.
Gu Feng and Guan Dexian lived in Kong County and lived in the Pegasus Hotel, the government guesthouse. The facilities of Pegasus Hotel are pretty good. Although they can’t compare to the luxury of single city, they are still neat and clean.
After discussing for a long time, Guan De volunteered to go out and perform his trick. Gu Feng smiled and did not object, which was equivalent to acquiesce. Guan De cleaned up and went out alone.
As soon as he was locked up, Gu Feng called the capital.
"Grandma, I'm in Kong County, but I didn't find the old man..."
"Did you just check it out at the civil affairs department?" ***The voice came from the capital hundreds of kilometers away, as friendly as in my ears. Although the voice was old and distant due to the loss of time, she could still clearly hear her charming voice back then, like a ring-shaped pendant.
It seems as if the years passed by in front of my eyes in the whistling days. The former Xiama River, the former capital city, and the former love of the world all emerged in my mind. I recall the past glorious years, how many past events, how many clouds, how many people and things, although they have gone far away, will never dissipate in the long river of history.
"There is a flat hill in the south of the county town. You go to the mountain to take a look. You have to look carefully. You have to see every grass, a tree, a thatched house and a cave. As long as you see a human bone abandoned outside, you will collect it and buried it. Then... you will go back to Beijing."
***The voice revealed vicissitudes and fatigue. Gu Feng respected grandma the most in his life, and couldn't help but worry: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, I just remembered the past and felt a storm. Feng'er, you must have a question in your heart. Grandma and the old man don't know each other, so why do you have to let you go all the way? To be honest, Grandma also holds one percent hope. If the old man is alive, he will give you a few words of advice, you will benefit a lot and will be of great help to the path you will take next."
"But grandma..." Gu Feng developed a humble and peaceful character since he was a child, but he still couldn't believe his words, "Even if the old man is alive, he is still a hundred years old. With his age and vision, how can he still have an accurate judgment on the current domestic situation?"
"Feng'er, from Qin Shihuang to Han Wudi, from Tang Taizong to Song Taizu, they were all called the Emperor of Eternity. Even in the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi was also called the Emperor of Eternity. All the Emperor of Eternity had no Emperor of Eternity. Don't think that the ancients were definitely not as good as the people of today. There were many things in the wisdom of the ancients that we could not surpass without understanding. From the May Fourth Movement to the Cultural Revolution, the cultural gap caused our nation to lose too many precious historical heritages... Will a person who can see the catastrophe in advance be unable to see the direction of the next hundred years?"
The ancient style was silent. He respected traditional culture the most. The wisdom of the ancients was not inferior to that of today's people. However, the god creation movement in the early days of the founding of the country brainwashed too many Chinese people. In addition, the saints who had forgotten their ancestors for thousands of years were pushed down. The ten-year cultural catastrophe was poisoned by burning books and burying scholars. As a result, the Chinese people lost their direction. Later, the banner of economic development was raised, and everything was only economic theory evolved into money theory. As a result, the economy developed and the people lost confidence in the country. Anyone who had money and power chose to immigrate abroad is to use their feet to vote for distrust in the country.
"I try to find the old man, and live to meet people, die to see corpses." Gu Feng replied solemnly, more curiosity and awe at the old man, and his heart was infinitely sad. If the old man was born in a prosperous era and met a person who could be cultivated, under the guidance of the old man, a civilian without a background might also rise to the top, not to mention a family who could mobilize huge social resources since he was a child like him.
It’s a pity that he has no blessing to enjoy the old man’s guidance. He only hopes that the old man can live for a long time and be still alive. Even if he only hears a few words from the old man, it will be worth the trip. If the old man comments on the current trend, it will be a great surprise.
"Feng'er, whether you can meet the old man depends on your chance. You don't know that many high-ranking scholars in the capital have to respect him as senior, in terms of seniority. Even your grandfather... admires the old man very much, but he has never had the chance to meet the old man, which makes him regret it all his life. It's a blessing to meet the old man, but there is no way to see the old man. It's you who have no fate with him."
Even my grandfather felt regretful because he had not seen the old man. Gu Feng was shocked. He thought that his grandfather had been in power all his life, and he had gone from a civilian to the highest position. He had experienced so many ups and downs and vicissitudes. He should have had no regrets in his life. Unexpectedly, with his grandfather's magnificent experience in his life, he had no experience in people and things, but he regretted that he had not met the old man. In this way, the old man's weight was even more amazing than he thought.
Soon after, I could not wait to get back, and shook my head with disappointment.
Guande found a few passers-by on the streets of Kong County, each of whom paid 100 yuan, asking them to go around the streets to inquire about an elderly man who had taken root in Kong County. Kong County is a small county in the central plains, and there are not many people from other places, so it should be easy to inquire about it.
As a result, I was so imprisoned that I spent thousands of yuan, so I found more than a dozen people to travel around the county town, and asked no less than a few hundred people. From the age of 30 to 80, I asked them all, but in the end I found nothing. No one knew that there was such a person, which proved one thing - this road was not accessible.
Could it be that the old man has never appeared in Kong County? Could it be that the news in the capital is wrong?
Guan De's question Gu Feng did not answer positively. After receiving the call from his grandmother Gu Yu, he actually had an answer in his heart. He just said to Guan De: "Let's go, the last stop of his trip to Kong County - Pingqiu Mountain."
Pingqiu Mountain is only one or two kilometers away from the county town, and it took five minutes to drive. The car parked at the foot of Pingqiu Mountain and looked up at the southern gate of Pingqiu Mountain, which has become the iconic landscape of Kong County. There were several vigorous and powerful words on it: "The world's strange mountain - Pingqiu Mountain."
Guan De smiled and said, "Although I have heard of Pingqiu Mountain, it is not called the world's strange mountain. If this small hill with an altitude of hundreds of meters can also be called the world's strange mountain, what are Huangshan and Taishan?"
"A mountain with little fame may not be a strange mountain in the world. You have forgotten that the ancients said that a mountain is not high, but an immortal is famous. Water is not deep, and a dragon is spiritual."
Guan De smiled: "Can you say that there is a humble room on the mountain where there is really an old god living in it? But let alone, remember that Pingqiu Mountain was very famous a few years ago. It is a national tourist attraction. It has become a destination that many people yearn for for a while, and even many national leaders have come. But now it seems to be silent again..."
"Things are always in the midst of the rise and fall of the rise of Pingqiu Mountain because of one person, and the decline is also because of one person..."
"Who? Is it the old man?"
"Yes, but that's another story. I believe it's still a long and fascinating story. Let's go up the mountain and say it."
This time, going up the mountain leads to a brand new story...
ps: The new book, officially uploaded on September 15th, is a brand new story. It will not be the follow-up to the official god. The place where it connects to the postscript is one mountain and one person.
