Fang Zhao couldn't see 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. If he missed this number, he would not be able to arrange it again today. Worship is the point.
Compared with the core tomb area and the scattered tomb area, the public worship area is much more lively. There are several grand and majestic halls in the worship area. There are no fancy decorations. The main color is gray and white. War in the era of extinction.
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 Wu Yan, the most famous character in Yanzhou, and the other... is Fang Zhao.
The inscriptions on the base of the statue are the same as those on the tombstone.
Although Fang Zhao knew that he had become one of the door gods of the main hall of the worship area when he checked the Martyrs Cemetery on the Internet, he still felt complicated when he saw it with his own eyes.
The appearance on the statue should be based on the late apocalyptic appearance, but it was beautified when the statue was made. The face is angular, the muscle texture is obvious, the tendons are protruding, the eyelids are not raised, and the cheeks are not shriveled, although There are wrinkles and scars on the face, but it looks more like middle age. Wearing a combat uniform, he looks majestic and awe-inspiring, his head is slightly raised, and he seems to be watching the battlefield in the distance, and he seems to be inspecting this world.
The face of the statue of Wuyan is softened, and it is very similar to the Wuyan that people have seen from the real images handed down. At that time, it was the creation of the century, and Wuyan also laughed most of the time, giving people a more feeling. Affinity, a little less sharp, but also does not lose the majesty of the superior. This is the great man who led Yanzhou to the new century and rebuilding its homeland.
The two statues silently watched the people coming and going in front of the hall 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 only relative.
Every era will produce some immortal characters, and some things that are worth remembering and cherishing for a long time will happen.
Fang Zhao never thought that he would be one of them.
Staring at the statue and standing for a while, Fang Zhao walked to the open-air waiting area next to him and waited.
The worship is in the main hall, and the side hall is a place for rest. Some people who make an appointment in line, if there are many people, will pack a room in the side hall and wait while resting.
In the waiting area, Fang Zhao sat next to a middle-aged couple. The two were discussing which way to worship this year. From their discussions, Fang Zhao knew that the two were mainly praying for their children, especially when they were praying. The eldest son in military service.
"Hey, are they still mining now, and will they have a holiday on the anniversary?" the woman whispered, "I haven't heard from him for many days, and I don't know how he is. Is he sick? Is there a holiday on the anniversary? Are you eating well?"
The man patted his wife's hand and comforted: "It's only been five days since I received the video last time, and there are still five days before I can receive the video message again. The anniversary is also a holiday now, but there aren't as many here, maybe it's just a commemoration. Closed every day…”
During the service period, I cannot contact my family at any time, and I only have the opportunity to send a video message to my family once every ten years.
When Fang Zhao came all the way, he also met many worshippers who prayed for the family members who were serving in the military. There are many such people every year, because there are many people who serve in the military every year.
There are several young students diagonally behind, who are getting together to discuss what posture to worship this year in order to bless not fail the exam.
For people in the new century, worship can also be done in countless ways. Some people even feel that the wish they asked for when they worshiped last year was not realized. , might be useful
Looking around, Fang Zhao's personal terminal indicated that it was his turn.
According to the prompt, Fang Zhao took the ticket and entered the main hall.
The lively sounds outside seemed to be blocked all of a sudden. The main hall was relatively solemn. There were many relief sculptures and projected images in rotation, all of which were about the era of extinction. Some were pictures of people, some were scene pictures, and pictures about martyrs have their profiles.
Fang Zhao also saw his own image. The above photo was left by Fang Zhao in the late end of the world. It looks older and has many scars on his face. It looks scary at first glance, but this is the result of later beautification. .
In fact, even if Fang Zhao himself stood here in his previous life, he might not be recognized. Unlike those after Genesis, he did not leave too many images, and even if there were, he was not carefully staged. The expressions, etc. are all the usual ones, the kind that can go directly to the battlefield the next moment.
Looking at the ticket in hand, Fang Zhao went to the worship area in the main hall A.
In the public worship area, area A is a relatively small worship room, and there is only one person in Fang Zhao, 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 the people of the new century. This experience was a bit new. In order to ensure privacy, there is no surveillance and no other people inside. There is a screen next to the door. There are several popular worship methods and recommended packages in front of it, as well as worship guides, but Fang Zhao did not see those, and after skipping them, Only one altar, a 500ml bottle, and a vintage wine bowl were chosen.
Different people, different worship methods, different customs, can also choose different items, which is equivalent to a self-service shopping machine, but these items need to pay corresponding fees, worship items, donation fees, etc. It is the main source of annual maintenance and management expenses for the cemetery.
He didn't even need a mat to kneel down. Fang Zhao stepped forward with the wine in one hand and the bowl in the other. He didn't change the mode of the worship room. After shrinking, it was only two meters high, and behind the huge tombstone, the group of small tombstones glowed like a vast sea of stars.
Standing in front of the image of the tombstone, Fang Zhao knew that the direction he was facing was where the huge tombstone in the core tomb area was. Standing in a daze, watching the reduced image of the tomb area for two minutes, and then looking at the group of tombstones behind the tombstone that looked like starlight, Fang Zhao poured the wine.
Fang Zhao poured the first bowl of wine directly into the altar.
Respect to all who died in that era.
For the second bowl of wine, Fang Zhao drank half of it himself, and poured the remaining half into the altar.
To those old comrades who can no longer see each other.
For the third bowl of wine, Fang Zhao drank not a drop.
Respect yourself!
After the three bowls of wine, Fang Zhao put down the bottle and bowl, glanced at the image of the tombstone, and turned to leave. Before leaving, he donated one million. Instead of buying those virtual worship items, you just choose to donate money, which is simple and straightforward.
In addition to the worship room, Fang Zhao did not look at the other furnishings in the hall, but went directly out of the main hall and across the square.
There are many people walking around in the square, and under the sun, there are children laughing and running. There are also some demarcated temporary shop areas in the square, one shop after another, forming a line. People who come and go stop in front of those small shops to buy some souvenirs.
"More than five hundred years have passed!"
Fang Zhao once again clearly recognized this fact.
He is no longer Fang Zhao in the last days, but a person in the new century. He should not only be attached to the past, and come here rarely. This kind of opportunity is something that no one else can ask for. He should look forward and take a good look at this new and prosperous world.
Looking at the situation on the square, Fang Zhao couldn't help but smile. He did not see the day of Genesis, but spanned more than five hundred years and lived in a prosperous new world.
"Hey, brother, here are two commemorative paintings?"
The screams of the merchants next to him made Fang recalled and looked to the side.
There are many large and small paintings on this temporary shop, which is a stall specializing in selling paintings. The vendors in these stalls are all employees in the cemetery who are responsible for cleaning and maintenance on weekdays. At this time of the year, they turn into small vendors and sell things in the shop area delineated on the square of the cemetery.
Most people in the new century have only one belief, that is, the heroes who created the new century.
They don't believe in gods, but they don't know whether it was formed spontaneously by the people, or driven by businessmen who saw the benefits. The people have developed a habit of pasting two door paintings on anniversaries, both to remember and to pray for blessings.
Post what
Of course, the portraits of those martyrs posted in the Martyrs Cemetery!
Seeing that Fang Zhao seemed to be interested in the commemorative paintings, the peddler smiled even more earnestly, "Come on, take a look, this year's new model, designed and drawn by a famous designer, is a new waterproof, stain-resistant and scratch-resistant material. The new model is now available all over the world. We are the only ones who have it here, you can buy it back to your company or your home, and even if you don’t need it yourself, you can give it to your relatives and friends!”
The hawker was selling his products, Fang Zhao was a little stunned, pointing to the two paintings in the hawker's hand, "Who are these two?"
"Didn't recognize it?" The hawker still felt that Fang Zhao's eyesight was not good, so he opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and then put on a sincere smile, pointed to the two in his hand, and pointed to the pile next to him, "Master The two statues in front of the hall, the same hero, General Wuyan and Commander Fang Zhaojun!"
Fang Zhao: "..." I felt like I was choking on the dumplings.
Unlike most people, the employees who work in the cemetery are very familiar with the information about the martyrs buried in the park. They can recite a hundred or eighty people with their eyes closed, let alone those in the core area. Characters who have left a strong color in history, this is the mandatory content of the annual examination in their park. You don't even know the martyrs in the core area, and you still want to work in the cemetery
The hawker couldn't stop as soon as he opened his mouth. He not only introduced the "heroes with the same style in the main hall", but also introduced other heroes. After literaryizing the great achievements of those people recorded in the history books, he spoke passionately and powerfully, like It's like buying a painting and going back to a God of War.
Fang Zhao looked at the other paintings on the stall with a sullen face. Well, the artistic commemorative paintings, although a little exaggerated, also reveal the characteristics of many people, such as the beards of some people, the bald heads of some people, the moles of some people, etc. . Still... able to deal with the master.
For example, in Fang Zhao's painting, there are several scars on his face, but after artistic transformation, it is a little less fierce. Fang Zhao also admires the artist who can paint the scars as fashionable as tattoos.
only…
What the hell is that red cape? When do I wear that? !
Seeing Fang Zhao staring at one of the paintings, the hawker asked: "The hero of the same style in the main hall has several new styles this year, and many people bought them, even if they don't stick them as souvenirs, oh, there are others. Yes, they are all famous heroes in our continent, there are well-known figures in the era of extinction and in the new century, and it is also a new commemorative painting released this year, if you have someone in your family who is a descendant of martyrs, you can choose."
Fang Zhao raised his hand and stroked from the booth to the end of the booth, "These hero commemorative paintings, no matter which style of painting, give me one copy, Fang Zhao that ... ten copies of the same."
"Okay!" The hawker grinned and went to pack up the paintings.
