Chapter 290 Burning the Sky
When Lao Ao wanted to ban guns, Texas was the first to rebel, claiming that the cowboy would never put down his gun. If the gun ban was truly implemented, everyone would pick up the gun and go out independently. After all, this is the only country that can be independent at any time.
There was once a joke about how various states can solve the problem of a sharp increase in turkeys. New Zealand said: How can you harm turkeys? New York said: We want to pass a bill to limit their number. The governor of Texas shot directly and killed a turkey on the spot.
So to become a pilgrimage place for all those who like to live freely and unruly, imagine what can be better than riding freely in the beautiful and natural and wild wilderness and primitive wilderness?
Find a denim shop, walk in full outfit, put on two revolvers, ride on horseback, hire a tour guide, and go straight to the wilderness.
Walking into the Canyon Park, there are the largest herd of bison and a park trail about 140 kilometers long. While walking on the horse's back, you can enjoy the unique landforms and flora along the way, and listen quietly to the wind, grass, and cattle.
The horse was well-behaved, and the road was familiar with the road to walk leisurely with everyone, rugged sandstone cliffs, canyons shaded by verdant junipers, shrubs and oaks, and a vast plain with a herd of bison.
There are flocks of American bison, pronghorn, white-tailed deer and bobcat in the distance, and more than 170 species of birds. I heard that there are still spectacular scenes of thousands of Mexican tailless bats flying by in the evening.
Come to the private ranch and enjoy the real rodeo competition. When riding a bison, the cow was stopped by the iron gate. The cow rode on his back first. As soon as the door opened, the cow rushed out like crazy, and the person on his back was almost thrown off.
I don’t know if it was a special training or a stimulant drug, but I was simply a mad cow. I tried my best to push my back hooves up, and I had to get rid of the idiot on my back!
The poor cowboy can only grab the rigging with one hand and hold the other hand up in the air. Keep balance for at least eight seconds. The longer you hold on, the higher the score. Less than 8 seconds, or the other hand touches the horse's body, it will be unqualified.
Good guy, the leg strength of these fierce people is absolutely awesome!
On the bare cow's back, he clamped his body with his legs to control the balance. What's scary is not that he was thrown down, but that after the fall, the cow often pounces on him and uses his horns to push people.
If you land, you must quickly escape the cow to avoid being a ghost under the horn. The scene is very exciting, and there are fierce applause and whistles all night, which is called instant movement.
I heard that the cattle in the professional bull riding competition is a wild animal with pure blood. It uses the North African bull with violent nature. It is trained for four or five years to use it for competition. The first prize is as high as 10 million.
It feels much more exciting than Spanish bullfighting!
The next day I visited the local specialty festival, Burning Man Day. There is no water, no electricity, no drainage, and no garbage left. Some are the scorching sun, cracked land, sandstorms, hot air during the day, the temperature of frozen people at night, and a desert without any foundation for human survival...
There is a must-pass ceremony at the gate, and everyone has to roll around the ground, because these soils fill your life, your feet are covered with soil, your clothes are covered with soil, your tents are covered with soil, and the air is covered with soil. When you go out and walk around, your hair is covered with soil, your hands are never clean, they are all soil.
It is hard to imagine that this kind of life lasts for eight days, with a total of 60,000 people participating. Every day, there are only singing, dancing, chatting, drinking, smoking, meditation, sitting naked, running, or even having sex. It is used to enjoy the fun you want in ways that all senses or thoughts can experience. There are no worldly restrictions.
As long as it does not violate some basic moral concepts, it can be accepted here. All kinds of weird things appear, some of which are simply eye-catching!
Johnson originally wanted to play and experience the local characteristics. At the beginning, he was not very adaptable to men and women with bare belly everywhere. After taking it, he was already aesthetically tired and turned a blind eye.
I originally thought it was just a local person who was idle and had nothing to do to play by himself, but I found that everyone was giving free money. For example, I gave you cold drinks when queuing up, and someone was riding a bicycle under the scorching sun. Someone was holding an ice watermelon drink.
People are shouting in the middle of the road under the scorching sun, providing free iced coffee, iced alcoholic beverages, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, sushi, and even noodles.
Some people even provide manual labor and services, and can get various TAXIs on the way, and just say thank you or prepare a small gift when you go to the destination.
It is too hot during the day, up to 40 degrees. The cooling begins in the evening, and the central area is filled with various decorated RVs, decorated to extremely dazzling luminous bicycles and crowds like oceans. But a clear and bright moon hangs in the sky, which is clean and beautiful, forming an excellent sense of conflict with the crowd on the ground.
All kinds of artworks are provided by private organizations, and even the most important fire people and temples are not built by the organizer, and all are free and voluntary.
Three artists entered the box at the beginning of Burning Man Day. The whole process did not come out of the box and had no idea about anything that happened on Burning Man Day.
Then everyone volunteers to go to a small window at a fixed time every day, tell or write to these three artists what happened on Burning Man, and draw the entire Burning Man based on their imagination and stories they hear.
There is also a tree that is 100% restored. During the day, many people gathered under the trees, but they are touching. They make a piece of fake shade to soothe the body that has no place to rest in the desert.
Instantly transformed at night, colorful LEDs and wild music, soothing the soul part, which is very creative.
The Fire Man stands in the center. This year, there is a Chinese-style pavilion outside the Fire Man. Some people sit quietly and meditate in this pavilion, and many people write their wishes on the surrounding walls. Occasionally, people run in to absorb the Fire Man's energy and go to the small fountain-like object in the middle to do some rituals or something.
The temple next to it is full of grief, and everyone is remembering their deceased relatives. When they enter this scene, they are involuntarily infected and silently remembering that those who have left have a beautiful place to go. I also hope that everyone around them can live happily. Life is really short and fragile. There is no reason not to grasp every day.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, fireworks began to ignite, and some works of art would be ignited, and people's emotions were instantly pushed to the top. At this time, any words were flat, cheering, hugging, jumping, staring at this huge carbonization process intently...
The violent flames and the huge mushroom clouds rising up made Johnson feel that it was not a work of art that burned, but the entire world, and everyone burst out completely with the flames from the inside. At this moment, there was no individual, and only this energy burst in the world in every unconscious body.
A wonder appeared in the desert. As the 60,000 people watched, the flames were everywhere in the sky, and the sparks produced and the burning smoke pillars were even pointed directly into the sky!
