Chapter 6 The Stone Stele
After the master and apprentice left, a stone tablet stood on the grass reed where they lived. The illiterate fishermen were not very interested in this stone tablet. A few days later, the local county magistrate had lunch and had nothing to do to take a walk and eat to the beach and saw the stone tablet.
When you look carefully, you can recognize that this is a poem. You can read it: "A golden cup of wine weighs ten thousand wine, and a jade plate is so shameless that it is ten thousand yuan. You can't eat it when you stop the cup and chopsticks. You can't eat it. You draw your sword and look at it in a daze. You want to cross the Yellow River and block the river. You will climb the mountain with snow all over Taihang."
After reading the first half of the poem, the county magistrate was unable to speak for a long time. It was such a sharp sentence, but this lonely emotion was revealed between the lines.
Looking at the second half, the county magistrate blurted out: "When I was free, I was fishing on the green stream, and I suddenly rode a boat and dreamed of the sun. It was difficult to walk! It was difficult to walk! There were many misaligned roads, and now I am? There will be times when the wind and waves are long, and the clouds sails cross the vast sea!"
The whole article tells about his lonely situation, but the second half of the article tells the ambition of hanging clouds across the sea. The county magistrate read it several times and becomes more excited as he read it. Such a brilliant poem has no title. When he was upset, he saw a small signature under the stone tablet: Young student Gu Qing is here for a trip!
After several inquiries from the county magistrate, he realized that Sun Simiao and his disciples lived here, and they shouted in their hearts that the Tang Dynasty would be a great poet! How could the county magistrate who was determined to report to the Tang Dynasty let such a person be buried? Knowing that the Tang Dynasty emperors are very fond of poetry and mailed a memorial and rushed to Chang'an for 800 miles.
A month later... Gu Qing stopped the donkey cart and thought of going to a place to write a poem and leaving his name! I guess he will become famous in a thousand years, and his heart cannot help but beauties popped up.
"You guys are giggling!" Sun Simiao cursed, "It's going to rain soon, so don't you come in to hide from the rain."
Gu Qing hurriedly unloaded the donkey cart and pulled the donkey into the pavilion. The heavy rain suddenly roared with thunder. Sun Simiao looked at the rain scene, "The rain this summer is abundant."
Gu Qing sat leisurely in the pavilion, took out his cell phone and took his headphones and listened to the music.
The thunderstorm stopped in less than half an hour, and Gu Qing stretched, "Master, where are we?"
"There is Tongguan ahead." Sun Simiao said.
After the dark clouds disappeared, the dusk fell on the western mountain. Sun Simiao said, "Let's rest here tonight."
"Okay." Gu Qing nodded, walked out of the pavilion and stood barefoot on the shallow by a small river. He reached out and grabbed a river crucian carp with a slow reaction, threw it into Zhulou, and simply took off his clothes and jumped into the river to take a bath. He walked ashore again and another big grass carp in his hand...
"Master, eat grilled fish tonight!"
As Sun Simiao listened, he was becoming more and more satisfied with this apprentice's cooking skills recently.
Gu Qing used stones to build a bonfire and turned wood to make fire. He had already mastered the fire. As soon as it rained, Gu Qing found some relatively dry weeds to light the fire and blew out a choking smoke.
After killing the fish, they set it on the fire to roast it, and then pulled two large white radishes in the wild, washed it, broke it apart and ate it raw.
The master and disciple were eating grilled fish leisurely. It was already night when fireflies flew everywhere. Gu Qing gnawed the radish and saw a lonely grave in the distance. He walked closer and saw some unburned paper money here. It seemed that someone had come to worship in the past few days. The epitaph said the tomb of the deceased husband xxx.
Gu Qing found a letter of burnt home that had not been burned, picked it up and took a look, although the burning only left a small piece with the word "death in battle".
"There were wars everywhere in the past few years." Sun Simiao also approached and sighed, "Emperors and generals galloped around the world, and they felt sorry for ordinary people."
Gu Qing had never experienced war and had never experienced the pain in a peaceful era. Her husband died in the battlefield and could not help but feel sympathy. He took out a broken hammer and found a big stone to chisel it.
"Are you going to write a poem again?" Sun Simiao had seen poems written by his apprentice before, and it was really evil.
"Master, do you think the emperor, general, and minister are hateful?" Gu Qing chiseled the stone hard.
"Li Shimin repeatedly asked me to stay in Chang'an, and I refused to give me an official position." Sun Simiao said: "Emperors and generals are also human beings. Some of their wars are for the people of the world, and some are just for their own ambitions. Whether they succeed or lose, they will still feel pitiful to the people of the world."
"Master, I think it's good to be an official at least you don't have to wander like this." Gu Qing said and smashed it down again, sweating profusely on his forehead.
"You can be an official, but you are old, so what are the common names for me?" Sun Simiao said.
Gu Qing put down his hammer and gasped, "Master, you look up to me, I won't be an official."
"I have experienced some things too much, but I won't be able to do it." Sun Simiao said earnestly. At least he liked Gu Qing, the apprentice, after years of observation.
The crooked stone tablet was chiseled out, and Gu Qing used a hammer to smash it hard into the soil and began to carve the words.
As soon as the next day, the master and the disciple left here. The stone tablet next to the lonely tomb was erected with awkward words: Ten years of life and death are vast, and you will never forget it if you don’t think about it. There is no place to talk about desolation in the lonely tomb for thousands of miles. Even if you meet, you will not recognize it, your face is covered with dust and your temples are like frost.
When I came to the night of my dream, I suddenly returned home. The window was dressing up. I looked at each other without saying a word, but only tears flowed thousands of times. I thought that the heartbreaking place was broken every year, and the moonlit night was short.
When the widow with the child came to the lonely grave again and saw the handwriting on the stone tablet beside him, he knelt in front of the grave for a long time and cried in pain, and slowly became choked, "Boy, your father, you left early!"
The master and apprentice arrived at Tongguan. Tongguan was very lively. From the East China Sea to the place, the population was increasing. Tongguan was the east gate of Guanzhong, the second largest pass among the top ten famous passes in the Central Plains. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gu Qing looked at the tall city gate and couldn't help but read, "The father-in-law looked at the important place, and he was narrow and narrow. He worked hard to make a long halberd, and he used a man forever!"
"A long halberd is hard to fight, and a man will be used forever... a good poem! It should be a quatrain!"
Gu Qing looked back and said, "I'm a passerby and a fat man. He looked at the tonnage of about 200 kilograms. The other party smiled and walked over, "This little brother is very talented at such a young age."
"Who are you?" Gu Qing kept a distance from this fat man who had inexplicably approached him.
"I'm in the next chapter of Li." The fat man smiled and said, "I wonder where this little brother is there?"
Gu Qing was so confused when asked that the monk was a little confused. The fat man rolled up his sleeves and continued, "I was bitten by a centipede on the bottom lane. The poison has reached the bone. A Taoist priest said that only the natural enemy of the centipede can unlock the poison, so I dare to ask this little brother where there is a chicken here."
