Superstars of Tomorrow

Fang Zhao couldn't meet the Wu family members, and he didn't return to the core area of ​​the cemetery. The number he reserved at the public worship area was about to arrive. If he missed this number, he wouldn't be able to make another one today. Worship is the key.

Compared with the core cemetery and the scattered burial cemetery, the public worship area is much more lively. There are several grand and majestic halls in the worship area, without fancy decorations. The main color is gray and white, and there are reliefs on the outer walls, reproducing the The battle situation 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 figure in Yanzhou, and the other... is Fang Zhao.

The words engraved 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 in the main hall of the worship area when he checked the martyrs cemetery online, 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, but it was beautified when the statue was made. There are wrinkles and scars on the face, but it looks more like middle age. Wearing a combat uniform, he looks mighty and awe-inspiring, with his head raised slightly, as if he is staring at the distant battlefield, as if he is inspecting the world.

The face of Wuyan's statue is a little more relaxed, which is very similar to the Wuyan that people have seen from the real images that have been handed down. At that time, it was the creation of the century, and Wuyan was mostly smiling, which made people feel more Amiable, less sharp, but without losing the majesty of the superior. This is the great man who led Yanzhou to the new century and rebuilt its homeland.

The two statues silently watched the people coming and going in front of the temple every day.

There are many statues in Qi'an City, some symbolize the taste, some are just fun, but here, people maintain a kind of respect for the statues in front of the temple.

Different from music, statues have 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 memorable and long-lasting things will happen.

Fang Zhao never thought that he would become one of them.

After staring at the statue for a while, Fang Zhao went to the open-air waiting area to wait.

Worship is in the main hall, and the side hall is a place for rest. Some people who make an appointment to line up, if there are many people, will reserve a room in the side hall to rest and wait.

In the waiting area, a middle-aged couple was sitting next to Fang Zhao. They were discussing which way to worship this year. From their discussion, Fang Zhao knew that the two were mainly praying for their children, especially when they were Eldest son in military service.

"Hey, are they still mining now, and the anniversary is also a holiday?" The woman muttered in a low voice, "I haven't heard from him for a long time, and I don't know how he is. Is he sick? Is there a holiday on the anniversary? Did you eat well?"

The man patted his wife's hand and comforted him: "It's only been five days since I received the video last time, and there are still five days before I can receive another video message. The anniversary is also a holiday now, but there are not as many as here, maybe it's just a memorial day." Day off..."

During the military service, I can't contact my family at any time. I only have the opportunity to send a video message to my family once every ten days. Even if it is an anniversary, even if there is a holiday, I can't come back. I can only wait until the service period expires.

When Fang Zhao came all the way, he also met many worshipers who prayed for family members who served in the military. There are many such people every year, because there are many people who serve in the military every year.

Diagonally behind, there are a few young students who are gathering together to discuss which posture to use to pray this year so as not to fail the exam.

For people in the new century, worship can also be done in countless tricks. Some people even feel that the wish they prayed for last year did not come true. , might be useful?

Looking around, Fang Zhao's personal terminal indicated that it was his turn.

According to the prompt, Fang summoned the ticket and entered the main hall.

The bustling sound outside seemed to be blocked at once. The main hall is relatively solemn, and there are many reliefs and projected images around it. They are all about the time of the end of the world. 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 old and has many scars on his face. At first glance, it looks a little scary. This is the result of beautification in the later stage .

In fact, even if Fang Zhao himself stood here in his previous life, he might not be recognized. He is different from those after Genesis, he did not leave too many images, and even if there were, they were not carefully staged. When the end of the world is not over, it is time for ghosts to pick out clothes for cleaning, whether it is light, clothing, background, The facial expressions and so on are the usual ones, the kind that can go directly to the battlefield in the next moment.

Looking at the ticket in his hand, Fang Zhao went to the worship area of ​​the main hall A.

The public worship area and Area A are relatively small worship rooms. Fang Zhao only has one person, so he was assigned to Area A.

Corresponding to the number on the ticket, Fang Zhao went to 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 people in the new century, and this experience was a bit fresh. In order to ensure privacy, there is no surveillance inside, and there are no other people. 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 instructions. However, Fang Zhao did not read those. After skipping, Only an altar, a 500ml bottle of wine, and a vintage wine bowl were chosen.

Different people, different worship methods, and different customs can also choose different items. This is equivalent to a self-service shopping machine, but these items need to pay corresponding fees, such as worship items, donation fees, and so on. It is the main source of the annual maintenance and management costs of the cemetery.

He didn't need the mat for kneeling. 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. It was the default mode. The holographic image was a reduced core tomb area, the huge tombstone After shrinking, it is only two meters high, and behind the huge tombstone, the group of small tombstones glows 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 the huge tombstone in the core cemetery. Standing in a daze, looking at the shrunk image of the cemetery for two minutes, and then at the group of tombstones behind the tombstones that looked like stars, Fang Zhao poured wine.

Fang Zhao poured the first bowl of wine directly into the altar.

To all those who died in that era.

Fang Zhao drank half of the second bowl of wine, and poured the remaining half into the altar.

Pay tribute to those old comrades who can no longer meet.

Fang Zhao drank not a drop of the third bowl of wine.

Respect, myself!

After the three bowls of wine were finished, Fang Zhao put down the wine 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 can directly choose to donate money, which is simple and direct.

Except for the worship room, Fang Zhao didn't look at the other furnishings in the hall, but went straight 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 divided temporary shop areas on the square, one shop next to 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 realized this fact.

He is no longer Fang Zhao of the last days, but a person of the new century. He should not only be obsessed with the past, and come here once in a while. This kind of opportunity is something no one else can 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 showing a smile. He did not see the day of Genesis, but lived in a prosperous new world for more than five hundred years.

"Hey, brother, here are two commemorative paintings?"

The cries of the vendors next to him brought Fang Zhao back to his senses, and he looked to the side.

There are many large and small paintings on this temporary shop, which is a small stall specializing in selling paintings. The vendors on these small stalls are employees in the cemetery who are responsible for cleaning and maintenance on weekdays. At this time of the year, they will turn into small vendors and sell things in the designated shop area 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 God, but they don't know whether it was formed spontaneously by the people, or driven by businessmen who saw the benefits in it. The people have developed a habit of pasting two door paintings on the anniversary, which is to remember and pray for blessings.

Post what?

Of course, it is the portraits of those heroes who posted the martyrs cemetery!

Seeing that Fang Zhao seemed to be interested in commemorative paintings, the peddler smiled even more earnestly, "Come on, let's take a look, this year's new ones are designed and drawn by famous designers, new waterproof, stain-resistant and scratch-resistant materials, the new ones are available all over the world now." Only we have it here, buy it back and post it in the company or at home, even if you don’t use it, you can give it to relatives and friends!”

The peddler was selling his products, Fang Zhao was a little dazed, and pointed to the two paintings in the peddler's hand, "Who are these two?"

"Didn't recognize it?" The peddler still felt that Fang Zhao's eyesight was not good enough, so he opened his mouth exaggeratedly, then put on an earnest smile, pointed to the two cards in his hand, and pointed to the pile next to him, "Master The two statues in front of the gate are heroes of the same style, General Wu Yan and Commander Fang Zhaojun!"

Fang Zhao: "..." I felt like I was choking on glutinous rice balls.

Unlike most people, the employees working in the cemetery are very familiar with the information of the martyrs buried in the cemetery. They can recite a hundred or eighty people for you with their eyes closed, let alone those in the core area. People who have left a strong color in history, this is a compulsory part of the annual exam in their park. You don't even know the martyrs in the core area, and you still want to work in the cemetery?

The small vendor couldn't stop talking, not only introduced the "Heroes of 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, sonorously, like It’s like buying a painting and asking for a god of war.

Fang Zhao looked at the other paintings on the stall with a sullen face. Well, the commemorative painting after artisticization, although a bit exaggerated, also reveals the characteristics of many people, such as the characteristic beard of some people, the bald head of some people, the mole of some people, etc. . Still... able to face the superior.

For example, in Fang Zhao's painting, there are several scars on the face, but after being artistic, it is less fierce. Fang Zhao also admires the painter who can paint scars as stylish as tattoos.

only……

What the hell is that red cape? When did I wear that? !

Seeing Fang Zhao staring at one of the paintings, the peddler asked: "The hero of the same style in the main hall has several new painting styles this year, and many people bought them. Even if they don't post them at home, it's good to keep them as souvenirs. Oh, there are other paintings. Yes, they are all famous heroes in our continent, there are well-known figures from the extinct era and the new century, and they are also new commemorative paintings released this year, if anyone in your family is a descendant of a martyr, you can choose them."

Fang Zhao raised his hand and swiped from the front of the stall to the end of the stall, "No matter which style of these heroes' commemorative paintings, give me one copy, and Fang Zhao's... give me ten copies."

"Okay!" The peddler grinned, and Diandianer went to pack up the paintings.

Cough, just one chapter.
