Castle Peak Cemetery.
This is the most desolate and cheapest cemetery among the five major cemeteries in Jiangning City. It is also the first choice for ordinary people in Jiangning City.
After all, the prices of the other four cemeteries are higher than the last, and they are divided into different areas, etc., which is indeed very unfriendly to groups with low incomes.
But Qingshan Cemetery is much better in comparison. Up and down the mountain, in the middle or on the edge, all prices are the same. It only costs a few hundred yuan per square meter. For the income and consumption level of Jiangning City, it is already very high. Cheaper.
In front of a certain tombstone halfway up the hillside of Qingshan Cemetery, a young woman with disheveled hair was holding a bouquet of bright yellow chrysanthemums in her hands, looking at the tombstone in front of her with a sad expression.
This tombstone is not like other tombstones, filled with information related to the tomb owner such as his life experiences and family relationships. It is simply written with five large characters in regular script.
Tomb of Chen Tianming.
After standing in front of Chen Tianming's tomb in a daze for a while, Fang Zhi's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of slight footsteps.
"Have Chen Tianming's funeral arrangements been arranged?"
Fang Zhi turned around, looked at Su Ran and nodded, "He is only one person in the first place, and there is nothing worthy of nostalgia and concern in this world, so it is much easier to handle it."
"How did you meet?" Su Ran asked curiously, "And we haven't seen each other for so many years. How come you suddenly became the leader of Tianyu Sect when we meet again?"
After the annual meeting on the playground, Zhang Ziqing conveniently changed everyone's memories, from the first time they heard about and came into contact with the Tianyu Sect, to the end of the bonfire party a few nights ago.
Under Zhang Ziqing's tampering, these people will only remember that they once participated in a religion called Tianyu Sect, which has a strange god.
After they joined the church, they only participated in a few intra-religious gatherings and regular annual meetings, and discussed some of the doctrines of their sect with other congregants.
As for ascending to the divine realm, the gods they believed in would possess portraits and communicate with them, and various magical ways of preaching, etc., all have disappeared from the memories of these people.
Especially the 900th anniversary anniversary meeting that night, everything that happened from beginning to end was deleted from everyone's brains by Zhang Ziqing.
There is no nine-hundredth anniversary conference, no arrival of gods and sacrifices, and no plot where gods are knocked off their thrones by a mysterious boy who suddenly appears.
In their memories, there was indeed such a thing as the 900th Anniversary Conference, and everyone was invited.
Just two days before the conference, the government intervened. The reason given was that this messy religion had already been targeted by the government. It believed that Tianyu Sect was suspected of demagoguery and ordered it to be disbanded starting today.
Since there are too many believers, it is impossible to arrest everyone.
Because the sect leader Chen Tianming was already in the advanced stage of cancer, and because of this incident, he fell ill on the spot and died within a few days.
Therefore, the remaining three elders, the two core elders and the ordinary elder Li Chen, as the core figures of Tianyu Sect, were taken away by the police and sentenced to ten to twenty years in prison respectively.
Only Fang Zhi still retained all the memories, because Su Ran still had something to talk to her about.
Fang Zhi held the chrysanthemum in his hand, took two steps forward, placed the chrysanthemum flatly on Chen Tianming's tomb, stretched out his hand and gently touched Chen Tianming's tombstone, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Of course, that coffee shop owner, your so-called friend, is actually the person who adopted you in the orphanage twelve years ago, right?" Fang Zhi asked softly.
Su Ran nodded, "It seems you still remembered it."
“I only remembered it when he showed up in the playground on the night of the AGM.
When I took Yanyan to find you before, I always felt inexplicably familiar when I saw him, as if I had seen him before somewhere, but no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find this person's face in my memory.
Until the night of the annual meeting, he appeared again, and the memory of the last meeting suddenly appeared in my mind.
Only then did I realize that it wasn't that I couldn't recognize him when we last met, but that he must have used some special method to blur my memory and deliberately prevent me from recognizing him. "
Speaking of this, Fang Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, actually, you have been wary of me since the first time we met, right? So you didn't tell me the identity of that man."
Su Ran nodded, "As Yincheng said, as a human being, human thoughts cannot be hidden from the gods. In front of the gods, humans are completely transparent, and even their own thoughts can be understood. Clearly exposed to God.
So from the moment you entered this store and started talking to me about Xu Yan, all your thoughts were exposed. "
"Then why didn't you expose me on the spot?"
"Maybe it's because I'm thinking about my original friendship, and I want to give you a chance to see if you will suddenly realize your conscience when you are halfway through, and then turn around or something."
"It seems that I still let you down." Fang Zhi shook his head and smiled.
"It's hard to say whether you're disappointed or not. It's just human nature. Besides, God itself is much more deceptive. You're an inexperienced little girl, so you're naturally easily deceived."
“But if it’s wrong, it’s wrong.
After Tianming and Yincheng died, I thought a lot in the past two days. The wonderful future that Yincheng described to me before was so desirable that for a moment I couldn't tell what was true and what was false. .
Because I love Yincheng, I adore him and respect him, so I am willing to do these unscrupulous things for him.
The same goes for Tianming. When I picked him up from the garbage dump, I just wanted to save him. I couldn't bear to see such a living person waiting to die alone. It felt so desperate.
But later I found that I couldn't control Tianyu Sect by myself. I needed a strong person to help me, so I found Tianming.
And because he loves me, he is willing to agree to all my requests, and he is willing to do whatever I say.
You see, I am stupid, and Tianming is also stupid. "
After Su Ran was silent for a while, he asked the question again, "Tell me why you took this path and caused such consequences."
