Chapter 63: Immortality
Fang Zhao didn't see the people of the Wu family, and he didn't return to the core area of the cemetery, the number he had reserved in the public worship area was about to arrive, and if he missed this number, he wouldn't be able to line up again today. The pen is www.biquge.info the main point.
Compared with the core cemetery area and the scattered burial area, the public worship area is much more lively, the worship area has several grand and majestic halls, no fancy decorations, gray and white as the main color, and there are reliefs on the outer wall, reproducing the war situation during the extinction period.
The main hall is obviously much higher than the side hall, and there are two statues more than 30 meters high at the entrance of the hall. One is Wuyan, the most famous person in Yanzhou, and the other is ...... It's Fang Zhao.
The inscription on the base of the statue is the same as on the tombstone.
Although when he checked the martyr's cemetery on the Internet, Fang Zhao knew that he had become one of the door gods of the main hall of the worship area, but he still had mixed feelings when he saw it with his own eyes.
The appearance on the statue should be based on the appearance of the late end of the world as a template, but it was beautified when making the statue, the face is angular, the muscle texture is obvious, the tendons are protruding, the eyelids are not shrugged, the cheeks are not deflated, although there are wrinkles and scars on the face, but it looks more like middle age. Wearing a combat uniform, he looked majestic and awe-inspiring, with his head slightly raised, as if he was looking at the battlefield in the distance, as if he was inspecting this world.
The face of the statue of Uyan is a little softer, and there is a great resemblance to the Uyan that people have seen from the real images that have been handed down, and at that time it was the Book of Genesis, and Uyan was also mostly smiling, giving people a more friendly feeling, a little less sharp, but it did not lose the majesty of the superior. This is a great man who led Yanzhou into the new century and rebuilt his homeland.
The two statues watched in silence as they watched the people coming and going in front of the temple every day.
There are many statues in Qi'an City, some symbolize taste, some are just fun, and here, people maintain a kind of respect for the statues in front of the temple.
Unlike music, the statue has a static appeal and impact, revealing a sense of immortality.
Nothing is truly immortal, immortality is just relative.
Every era will produce some immortal figures, and some things will happen that are worth remembering and remembering for a long time.
Fang Zhao never thought that he would become one of them.
After staring at the statue for a while, Fang Zhao walked to the open-air waiting area on the side and waited.
Worship in the main hall, the side hall is a place for rest, some people who make an appointment to line up, if there are many people, will book a room in the side hall to rest and wait.
In the waiting area, a middle-aged couple sat next to Fang Zhao, the two were discussing which way to worship this year, and from their discussion, Fang Zhao knew that the two were mainly praying for their children, especially the eldest son who was serving in the military.
"Hey, are they still mining now, and there will be a holiday on the anniversary, right?" The woman was whispering, "I haven't heard from him for many days, and I don't know how he is doing, is he sick?" Do you have a holiday on anniversaries? Did you eat well? ”
The man patted his wife's hand and comforted: "It's only been five days since I last received the video, and there are still five days to receive the video message, and the anniversary is now a holiday, but there are not as many as here, maybe only ......the day of the anniversary will be off."
During the service, you can't contact your family at any time, and you only have the opportunity to send a video message to your family every ten days, even if it's an anniversary, even if you have a holiday, you can't come back, you can only wait until the end of your service.
When Fang Zhao came all the way, he also met a lot of worshippers who prayed for the blessings of their families who served in the military, and there were many such people every year, because there were many people who served in the military every year.
There are a few young students in the diagonal back, and they are gathering together to discuss what posture to use to worship this year to protect themselves from failing the course.
For people in the new century, worship can also come up with countless tricks, and some people even feel that the wish they asked for last year's worship was not fulfilled, and this year it may be useful to change the way, change the posture, change the object, the scene, etc.
Looking around, Fang Zhao's personal terminal prompted that it was his turn.
According to the prompt, Fang summoned the ticket and entered the main hall.
The lively sound outside seems to be blocked out at once, the main hall is more solemn, there are many reliefs and projected images around, all about the period of the end of the world, some are pictures of people, some are scene pictures, and there are their profiles on the images of martyrs.
Fang Zhao also saw his own image, the above photo was left by Fang Zhao in the late end of the world, he looked relatively old, and there were many scars on his face, which looked a little scary at first glance, but this was the result of later beautification.
In fact, even if Fang Zhao himself was standing here in his previous life, he might not be able to be recognized. He is different from those people after Genesis, he didn't leave too many images, and even if he did, he wasn't carefully posed, and when the end of the world was not over, the ghost came to pick out clothes to clean up, whether it was light, clothing, background, expression, etc., it was the usual look, and the next moment it was the kind that went directly to the battlefield.
After looking at the ticket in his hand, Fang Zhao went to the worship area of the main hall A.
The public worship area, Area A is a relatively small worship room, and Fang Zhao has only one person, so he was assigned to Area A.
Corresponding to the number on the ticket, Fang Zhao found the worship room and scanned the ticket on the instrument at the door to enter.
It was the first time for Fang Zhao to worship in the way of a new century person, and this experience was somewhat new. In order to ensure privacy, there is no monitoring inside, and there is no one else, there is a screen next to the door, there are several popular worship methods and recommended packages in front, as well as worship guidance, but Fang Zhao didn't look at those, and after skipping it, he only chose an altar, a 500ml bottle of wine, and a retro wine bowl.
Different people, different ways of worshipping, different customs, can also choose different items, which is equivalent to a self-service shopping machine, but these items need to pay the corresponding fees, worship items, donation fees, and so on, is the main source of annual maintenance and management costs of the cemetery.
The mat for kneeling and worshipping didn't ask for it, Fang Zhao stepped forward with a wine in one hand and a bowl in the other, he didn't change the mode of the worship room, it was directly the default mode, the hologram was a shrunken core cemetery, the huge tombstone was only two meters high after being shrunk, and behind the huge tombstone, the tombstone group composed of those small tombstones was glowing, like a vast sea of stars.
Standing in front of the tombstone image, Fang Zhao knew that the direction he was facing was where the huge tombstone in the core cemetery was located. Standing stunned and looking at the image of the cemetery that had been reduced for two minutes, and then at the star-like group of tombstones behind the tombstones, Fang Zhao poured wine.
The first bowl of wine, Fang Zhao poured directly into the altar.
To all those who died in that era.
In the second bowl of wine, Fang Zhao drank half of it himself, and poured the remaining half into the altar.
To those old comrades-in-arms who can no longer see each other.
In the third bowl of wine, Fang Zhao drank not a drop left.
Respect, yourself!
After three bowls of wine, Fang Zhao put down the wine bottle and bowl, glanced at the tombstone image, turned around and left, before leaving, he donated one million. There is no need to buy those virtual worship items, and you can choose to donate money directly, which is simple and straightforward.
Except for the worship room, Fang Zhao did not look at the other furnishings in the hall, but went directly out of the main hall and walked through the square.
There were many people walking around the square, and in the sun, there were children laughing and running. There are also some temporary shop areas in the square, one after the other, forming a line. Passers-by stop in front of the small shops to buy some souvenirs.
"It's been more than five hundred years!"
Fang Zhao once again clearly recognized this fact.
He is no longer the calling of the last days, but a person of the new century, and he should not only cling to the past, but he is rare to visit, this kind of opportunity is something that others can't ask for. He should look forward and take a good look at this new prosperous world.
Looking at the situation in the square, Fang Zhao couldn't help but smile. He did not see the day of Genesis, but he lived in a prosperous new world over the course of more than 500 years.
"Hey, brother, two commemorative paintings?"
The shouts of the vendors next to him brought Fang back to his senses and looked to the side.
This temporary shop is a small stall that sells paintings, with many large and small paintings on it. The vendors at these stalls are all employees who are responsible for cleaning and maintenance in the cemetery, and at this time of year, they will become small vendors and sell things in the designated shop area in the square of the cemetery.
Most of the people in the new century have only one faith, that is, the heroes and martyrs who created the new century.
They don't believe in God, but they don't know whether it was spontaneously formed by the people, or whether the merchants saw the benefits and drove them, and the people developed a habit of pasting two door paintings on the anniversary, which is to remember and pray for blessings.
What to post?
Of course, the portraits of those heroes in the martyrs' cemetery!
Seeing that Fang Zhao seemed to be interested in the commemorative painting, the small trader smiled more earnestly, "Come, take a look, this year's new model, designed and drawn by a famous designer, a new type of waterproof and stain-resistant and scratch-proof material, the new model is now the only one we have in the world, you can buy it back and paste it at home, even if you don't use it, you can also give it to relatives and friends!" ”
The little vendor was selling his goods, Fang Zhao was a little stunned, and pointed to the two paintings in the hands of the little vendor, "Who are these two?" ”
"Didn't recognize it?" The little vendor also felt that Fang Zhao's eyesight was not good, so he opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and then put on an earnest smile, pointed to the two in his hand, and then pointed to the pile next to him, "The two statues in front of the main hall, the same hero, General Wuyan and Commander Fang Zhao!" ”
Fang Zhao: "......" has a feeling of choking on rice balls.
Unlike most people, the employees who work in the cemetery are very familiar with the information of the martyrs buried in the park, and they can recite one hundred and eighty people to you with their eyes closed, not to mention those characters in the core area who have left a strong color in history, which is a compulsory content for their annual exams in the park. I don't even know the martyrs in the core area, and I still want to work in the cemetery?
The vendor couldn't stop talking about it, not only introducing the "same heroes of the main hall", but also introducing other heroes, and after literalizing the great achievements of those people recorded in the history books, he spoke passionately and sonorously, as if he bought a painting and asked him to go back to a god of war.
Fang Zhaomu looked at the other paintings on the stall with a grimace. Well, although the commemorative paintings after art are a bit exaggerated, they also reveal the characteristics of many people, such as the beard of some people, the bald head of some people, the mole of some people, and so on. Still is...... Able to the Master.
For example, Fang Zhao's painting, there are several scars on his face, but after being artistic, he is a little less fierce, and Fang Zhao is also a painter who can paint scars with the same sense of fashion as tattoos.
It's just that......
What the hell is that red cloak? When did I wear that?!
Seeing Fang Zhao staring at one of the paintings, the small vendor asked: "The same hero in the main hall has several new painting styles this year, many people buy them, even if they don't keep them as commemorations, oh, there are others, they are all famous heroes in our continent, well-known figures in the period of destruction and the new century, and they are also new commemorative paintings this year, if you have anyone in your family who is a descendant of a martyr, you can choose." ”
Fang Zhao raised his hand and drew from the head of the stall to the end of the stall, "These hero commemorative paintings, no matter which painting style, give me a copy of the same, Fang Zhao ...... Ten servings of the same. ”
"Okay!" The vendor grinned and tossed away.
