Chapter 50 Urban Cemetery

Super-large cities like the Capital of Knowledge not only gather a large number of living people, but also a large number of dead people. Over the past few hundred years, at least one million dead people have been buried within the capital of Knowledge, and even exceeded the number of living people at one time. In order to accommodate these dead people, the Holy City Hall has opened five pieces of land in and out of the city as cemeteries, specifically as a place for the deceased to sleep forever.

Three of the cemeteries are located a few kilometers away from the suburbs of the western city. The scenery is beautiful and lush flowers and plants are lush. For the deceased, being able to sleep in this environment is also a kind of enjoyment after death. For the living, being able to see relatives buried in such a place is also a psychological comfort. These three cemeteries are the cemeteries of the Capital of Knowledge. Any residents of the Capital of Knowledge or those who die in the Capital of Knowledge, after their death, their relatives are qualified to apply for a land of the same size for free in the three cemeteries. Whether the poor or the rich, they all have the same qualifications, and the land is the same size. Many people at the bottom often joke that the dead in the Capital of Saints live better than the living, because the dead do not have to be troubled by the high land prices of the Capital of Saints. This is a true portrayal of the cemetery system of the Capital of Knowledge.

But the cemeteries of the three cemeteries are not permanent. If a cemetery has not been worshipped for more than 30 years, the entire stone cemetery will be excavated by the cemetery management agency and moved to the fourth cemetery, the farthest and largest cemetery from the city. Except for the deceased who have been regarded as the lordless tomb for more than 30 years, the remaining ones are lonely deceased who have no relatives or friends to apply for public cemeteries for them after their death. For the residents of the Holy Capital, for any reason, being buried in the fourth cemetery is a very sad thing. No one wants to go to that point after death, because it means that they have been completely forgotten by the whole world. However, over the past few hundred years, more and more deceased have been slowly moved to the fourth cemetery, and their names are slowly destroyed in the torrent of time, just like themselves.

Of course, no matter which of the four cemeteries, there are special agencies responsible for managing them to ensure that the cemetery is clean and tidy and...safe. Even the fourth forgotten cemetery will be cleaned regularly. The rows of tombstones are arranged neatly, and walking in them will not give people a feeling of fear.

As for the fifth cemetery, it is the smallest and only cemetery located in the city, and is called the urban cemetery. This cemetery is located in the middle of the temple area. It can be called all the cemeteries in the entire city, and is closest to the place where gods sleep. The entire cemetery is surrounded by various temples, making the cemetery full of peace and peace. Even the living will feel the tranquility from the heart when walking in it. It can be imagined that the dead who sleeps in it will definitely get eternal tranquility.

It is obvious that such an important cemetery is certainly not qualified to use. In fact, the conditions for burying into a city cemetery are very harsh. It can be said that there is only one way, that is, to make outstanding contributions to the saint. As long as this condition is met, whether there are relatives, whether they are poor or rich, they can choose to be buried in the urban cemetery. Here is a former unnamed coachman who provided creativity to solve the traffic congestion between several major urban areas of the saint capital. The former sewer cleaner who improved the underground drainage system of the saint capital 220 years ago was buried, and also a person was buried for three hundred years.

The former richest man in the capital who had almost collapsed the financial crisis of the economic system of the capital, buried the five masters of the Demonic Pattern School who spent ten years to set up a powerful defensive array for the outside of the capital. In addition to these people, of course, those demigod powerful men who settled in the capital, who could shock all hostile opponents and maintain peace and tranquility of the capital by relying solely on their own sense of existence. These people who are qualified to be buried in the capital city cemetery can be buried in the cemetery with their wives after their death. Of course, those who are still alive will reserve a place and will be buried in the tomb together after their wives die.

In addition to these cemeteries, there are naturally many wealthy families with their own family cemeteries. These large or small family cemeteries are scattered in various locations in the suburbs. Together with five cemeteries, they form the tomb system of the Capital of Knowledge.

The ordinary public rental carriage gradually slowed down under the driver's speed and finally stopped near the central garden of the Temple District. After the two passengers got off the car, the carriage started again and drove into a parking place specially prepared for rental carriages. Waiting for the passengers to return, the carriage continued to ride when the carriage left, Freya stood in place with Panis's arm, staring at the city cemetery not far from the left side of the central garden.

Rather than being a city cemetery, it is more like an urban park now. There are human-shaped sculptures in the cemetery. These sculptures are tombstones of each tomb, which will always keep the image of the owner of the tomb in the world. Most of the sculptures are single, with only a few double or multiple sculptures. This is the only privilege that city lords in history can enjoy after their death. They also build the same sculptures for their wives or wives so that everyone can remember their existence. Apart from the space occupied by the tombs and sculptures and the flat stone paths, the city cemetery has almost no exposed ground, all covered by neat lawns, and a large number of reaspin planted on the lawn. This common coniferous plant in this neutral place can not only make the cemetery full of green all year round, but their fruits will also emit a calming aroma all year round.

Many believers who come and go to the temple area to pray, as well as people who work and live in various nearby facilities, like to treat urban cemeteries as leisure parks in their spare time, especially in summer. For these people, strolling in the green world to enjoy the cool air and reading the deeds of ancestors on the sculpture pedestal can be regarded as a special way of memorial service. I am afraid this is also the purpose of the designers of the cemetery as a park.

"Actually, this is not bad." Freya was wearing a pure black dress and a black gauze hat lowered to cover the morning sun. Panis also had a pure black dress, with his right hand on Freya's hand holding his left arm. The two of them walked slowly between the Reals along the winding stone path. Freya whispered as he looked at the sculptures passing by: "I think these deceased people are also willing to see the scene in front of them. Everyone must be very happy to see the citizens who can live a peaceful and peaceful life because of their struggle."

"For example, Christo?" Panis asked with some meaning: "It's just Christo?"

"You, really."
