At this moment, Su Zhifei was walking on the land of Sanqin. Although he had a sloppy beard and was in tatters, he was still continuing his pilgrimage.
Although his body was in tatters, he wore thick protective gear on his hands and knees. Every three steps he took, he would kneel on the ground. Then he would kowtow to the ground and stand up again. After standing up, he would take three steps again and continue to kneel down.
This cycle continues.
When he first started on the road, Su Zhifei's body could not bear such high-intensity exercise. His body was tortured, and he had reached the limit after traveling three or four kilometers a day. Compared with the ten kilometers a day of normal believers, it was much slower.
.
However, as time went by and the distance became longer and longer, he gradually adapted to this rhythm. He gradually increased his distance from three to four kilometers a day to seven or eight kilometers today.
In more than five months, he has traveled more than a thousand kilometers.
Originally, Su Zhifei felt that he was a standard outlier because he kowtowed every three steps on the road during the day and slept in the open air at night.
But as he walked farther and farther, he gradually discovered on the road that many people like him were prostrating themselves and making pilgrimages to the southwest.
The difference with them is that these people are all people of faith, and Su Zhifei is an atheist himself. Others do this for their faith, but he has to do this because he was ordered by Ye Chen
thing.
However, as the distance traveled further and further, Su Zhifei's mentality became more and more relaxed.
During the journey, he almost reviewed his life of more than 20 years several times.
During the review process, Su Zhifei became more and more aware of his many previous mistakes and shortcomings. Over time, Su Zhifei began to feel that he was a guilty person.
Relying on the fact that the eldest son of the Su family is arrogant and domineering, and is ignorant and unskilled is the first crime;
Being rescued by Ye Chen but not feeling grateful is the second sin;
His father was shunned by his grandfather, and his mother and sister were murdered by his grandfather. When his life and death were unknown, he compromised with the culprit and got his grandfather for the sake of his future. This is the third crime.
Over time, although Su Zhifei had no religious beliefs, he was surprised to find that the punishment that Ye Chen gave him, which was similar to corporal punishment, could calm his mind.
After his mind calmed down, the daily fatigue of his body was no longer a torture to him.
He is like a person who never works out, but becomes addicted to fitness because of his persistence. He gradually becomes immersed in it and cannot extricate himself. As long as it is not windy and rainy, he will never stop moving.
Moreover, after he reflected on his mistakes and sins over the years, the hatred in his heart for Ye Chen gradually disappeared, and he finally understood Ye Chen's intention of letting him go on a pilgrimage.
Before, he was dazzled by interests and material desires, and his family ties and human nature were greatly affected by this. After such training, his material desires have already been reduced to the extreme. Luxury houses, luxury cars, yachts, and airplanes are all important to him.
Now, all he needs to do is fill his stomach every day, and he is already living a very fulfilling life.
As his material desires decreased, his humanity gradually returned. He began to miss his relatives and began to sympathize with the poor people along the way. When he saw the poor areas, he silently kept them in mind, hoping that when he had the ability in the future,
What can be done for them.
In Su Zhifei's mental journey, he not only overcame the difficulties and obstacles on the road, but more importantly, he was purified and sublimated at his own spiritual level.
Just as Su Zhifei continued to take three steps and kowtow, a whistling sound of a helicopter came from the sky. A helicopter quickly flew in front of him from far to near, and then slowly landed in front of him.
After Su Zhifei kowtowed, he stood up from the ground and looked at the helicopter, wondering why the helicopter was blocking his way.
At this time, the helicopter door opened, and a middle-aged man jumped out of the plane, walked up to Su Zhifei, and said, "Master Su, Mr. Ye, please go back."
