Chapter 16 The Journey to Qinshan 1

The carriage is a slow thing, and because of the need to take into account Lin Xiaoyang, who has not recovered from his injuries, Yan Ziming, Zhu Zimo, Mu Ziru and a group of nearly 40 people set off from Nanqu County, and they traveled from sunrise to sunset along the way, and the journey along the way was even slower. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

By the time Yan Ziming, Zhu Zimo, Mu Ziru and a group of nearly forty people finally arrived in Xuanping, Kyoto, Daliang Kingdom, it was already half a month later.

It was the first day of August, and the city was full of osmanthus flowers.

As soon as you enter the crepe flat city, there is a refreshing fragrance of flowers, take a breath, the whole chest is full of the fragrance of osmanthus.

Just smelling the fragrance of flowers wafting all over the city, Yan Ziming, Zhu Zimo, Mu Ziru and a group of nearly 40 people, more than 30 horses and a small carriage went straight to Zhu's mansion located in West Street, Xiping West District.

However, because there is a clear rule in Kyoto of the Great Liang Kingdom, except for the 800 li urgent battle report, no one, including the royal family's sons, is allowed to gallop in Creping City, for fear of injuring pedestrians, so when they entered Creping City, the group slowed down the speed of their horses under their crotches.

Yan Ziming, Zhu Zimo, Mu Ziru and a group of nearly 40 people entered the city of Xuanping through the south gate near noon, and when they drove their horses all the way through the street and arrived at the gate of Zhufu located in the West Street of the West District of Xuanping, it was already past noon.

After entering the Zhu Mansion, everyone had a late lunch, and after settling down with Lin Xiaoyang, Mu Ziru returned to his own home, while Zhu Zimo and Lin Zhiwu went to do their own things, but Yan Ziming did not dare to delay for a moment and got on the horse again, controlled the speed and drove the horse out of Xuanping City and began to gallop wildly, rushing to Qinshan non-stop.

And when Yan Ziming hurriedly left Xuanping and rushed to Qinshan, the princes of the nine countries of the Tiancheng Continent had already traveled halfway with a large number of people and horses, and some had even arrived at the Qinshan Palace, including the prince of the Great Liang Kingdom, the prince of the Yan Kingdom, and ...... The "prince" of the Red Ice Country.

Tiancheng is the hinterland of the continent. The outer mountainside of the Qinshan Mountains. Red Ice National Palace.

Leng Qing, Yan Qingqiu, Wang Quan, and Muwen arrived at the foot of Qinshan Mountain at the end of this morning, because the mountain road was not easy to walk, and the large chariots of the palace system could not go up the mountain road at all, so they took a car all the way from the capital of Chibing Kingdom to the foot of Qinshan Mountain, and Leng Qing and the others abandoned the car and walked up the mountain.

However, in view of the fact that Yan Qingqiu's three-inch golden lotus could not walk for a long time, let alone walk the mountain road, Yan Qingqiu was carried up the mountain by the guards who accompanied him from the Red Ice Country in a bamboo chariot.

Fortunately, the palace of the Red Ice Kingdom on the Qin Mountain is not built high, the straight-line height between the foot of the Qin Mountain and the palace is only about 400 meters, and a bluestone step has been repaired from the foot of the mountain to the front of the palace, so it is not laborious or time-consuming to climb up.

Everyone walked up the bluestone steps that were sometimes steep and sometimes slow, winding up, even if the speed of moving forward was slowed down on the way because they had to take care of Yan Qingqiu, and everyone arrived in front of the palace in about two hours.

And because when the group of the Red Ice Kingdom finally arrived at the Red Ice Kingdom Palace built on the mountainside on the periphery of the Qinshan Mountain Range, it was past noon, and everyone was already hungry, so Wang Quan, who looked like Yan Ziming, waved his hand and let everyone disperse temporarily, and each went to find food. The same is true for Wang Quan and Mu Wen. Leng Qing accompanied Yan Qingqiu into the palace to rest.

It is said that this Chibing National Palace built on the mountainside on the periphery of the Qinshan Mountains is not so much a palace as a wide courtyard that encloses a large area of wood, and the buildings in the courtyard are all wooden buildings made of local materials, not only tables, chairs, benches, doors and window sashes, including house walls, eaves and domes, etc., are all made of wood.

Maybe it's because the trees on Mount Qin are too tall and luxuriant, and it's not easy to build too grand palaces; Maybe it's because this Qinshan Palace, which belongs to the Red Ice Kingdom, is only opened every ten years; Maybe it's because of other reasons, in short, the construction specifications and standards of this Red Ice Country Palace are very ...... Feel free and concise......

In a gentle woodland, a large woodland was enclosed by a wall made of two-person high wooden stakes that were cut flat for some time, and the wooden stakes on both sides of the courtyard gate were higher than the others, but not too high.

On the high wooden stakes on both sides of the courtyard gate, a piece of horizontal wood was set up, a piece of vermilion lacquer plaque was hung on the horizontal wood, and the plaque was engraved with the big characters of "Chibing National Palace" of the seal body, each word was carefully described in gold, and from a distance, it was golden.

From time to time, patrol soldiers wearing jet-black armor, holding spears, and long knives at their waists walked by, looking at their outfits, they were exactly the same as the patrolling forbidden troops in the palace of the Red Ice Country.

However, although the outfits between the two seem to be exactly the same, the jet-black armor worn by the patrolling forbidden soldiers in the palace of the Red Ice Kingdom is made of extremely pure black iron, and each piece of black iron armor weighs more than 100 catties! And the defense is super strong.

And the jet-black armor worn by these soldiers patrolling around the Qinshan Palace was only made of the most ordinary pig iron, and the heaviest was only more than thirty catties, and the defense power was also very sparse and ordinary.

From this simple and somewhat primitive style of the courtyard gate into the courtyard, when the first into the eye, is a wide and flat open space, in the center of the open space placed a huge bronze cylinder, the cylinder body is engraved with complex patterns, the cylinder is planted with a jar of lotus.

Maybe it's just the right time, maybe it's the ambient temperature on Qinshan Mountain, in short, the jar of lotus flowers is very vibrant, and the lotus flowers are lined with bright green lotus leaves to be pink and tender, which is very pleasing to the eye.

A row of connected wooden houses was built on the left and right sides of the vacant lot, eight on the left and right, for a total of sixteen wooden houses. And these two rows of wooden houses have always been the places where the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids who traveled to Qinshan with the prince of the Chibing Kingdom lived.

The door and window frames of the eight wooden houses on the left are painted with green paint, indicating that they are the houses where the guards and eunuchs who accompanied the guards and servants lived; The door and window frames of the eight wooden houses on the right are painted with a faint shade of red, indicating that they are the houses where the palace maids and grandmothers who accompany them live.

Behind the wooden houses on both sides is a jungle of wood, and around the forest is the wooden stake version of the wall of the "Red Ice National Palace".

Directly opposite the open space facing the courtyard gate, behind the huge bronze jar planted with a jar of vibrant lotus flowers, is a large, large-scale wooden structure building.

The shape of that building is very similar to the Qingxin Hall in the Weide Palace of the Red Ice Kingdom, although the appearance of the building is carved and painted, colorful, not dull and gray wood color, but even if you only look at it with the naked eye, you can see that its essence is pure wooden structure, and even the roof of the top of the mountain with the colorful heavy eaves is covered with wood, and there is actually no half glazed tile on it.

When you enter the pure wooden structure of the building, which looks very much like the Qingxin Hall in the Weide Palace, the Imperial Palace of the Red Ice Kingdom, you will find, hey! This is really a pure wooden structure version of the pure heart hall -

There are a total of four halls in this pure wooden structure of the "palace", one each on the front and back, one on the left and one on the left, arranged in the shape of the word "product", and the front hall is in the middle of the two mouths under the word "product".

The front hall of this pure wooden structure of the "palace" is spacious and atmospheric, but the layout is somewhat simple. As soon as you enter the temple gate, you can see a layer of ...... on the ground The wooden floor is gray in color, and people can hear a "squeak" sound every step they take.

Six large pillars stand in various parts of the hall, supporting part of the weight of the majestic heavy eaves on the top of this pure wooden structure of the "palace", and each pillar is carved with a vivid four-clawed dragon.

Under the wall on the left side of the hall is a large round table with a diameter of about two meters, and a pale yellow diamond-shaped tablecloth is spread on the tabletop. Around the table are a circle of eight round stools made of golden silk nanmu, each covered with a thick wool cushion.

Under the wall on the right side of the hall, there is a huge Bogu shelf attached to the wall, and there are objects in each grid on the shelf, including jade, wood carving, bronze and so on.

On the ground in front of the golden silk nanmu table and the Bogu shelf, there is a large golden tripod on the left and right, and the lid is hollowed out and carved with complex patterns. At this moment, there is a rising white smoke slowly rising in the hollow place of the four golden big tripod covers, and the white smoke rises to a certain height and slowly disperses, and there is a fresh pine fragrance in the hall.

On the wall facing the temple door, there is a black golden silk nanmu plaque with the inscription "Virtue and Virtue" four dragons flying and phoenix dancing, and there is a satin screen about seven or eight meters long under the plaque, although the screen is long, but the two ends of the screen are still several meters away from the walls on both sides.

The screen is embroidered from right to left with the scenery of mountains and rivers throughout the year, there are more than ten pairs in total, each picture can be picked out to become a unique scene, put together but not abrupt, but very fit.

In the center of the front of the screen is a rectangular desk more than a meter long, covered with a pale yellow satin tablecloth. The tablecloth covers the table from the top to the corner, completely obscuring the original appearance of the table.

On the table, there are four treasures of the study room and some books and bamboo slips, behind the table there is a pale yellow eight-dragon gold lacquer throne, on both sides of the throne are arranged three giant pillars with a diameter of one meter and pasted with gold cloud dragon pattern, and the gold leaf is pasted in two colors, so that the pattern is prominent and distinct.

There are four pairs of furnishings on both sides of the throne: the treasure elephant, the horn end (the end of the phone, the legendary auspicious animal), the crane and the incense pavilion.

In the middle of the ceiling above the throne is placed a caisson shaped like an umbrella cover that rises upward, and in the middle of the caisson is carved a huge dragon lying on the dragon, and the dragon's head goes down, and the mouth holds a jewel.

Bypassing the screen, it can be seen that in the middle of the wall behind the screen, a hollow and carved wooden door opens to the apse of this pure wooden structure "palace".

Under the walls on both sides of the screen, there is also a hollow carved wooden door, which leads to the left hall and the right hall respectively.

These openwork carved doors are covered with an extremely fine white veil, which can block both the cold and the view.

This pure wooden structure of the "palace" is not only exactly the same as the Qingxin Hall in the Weide Palace of the Red Ice Kingdom, but even the furnishings in the apse are the same.

As soon as you enter the door of the apse, you can see that the floor is covered with a thick layer of wool felt, and the felt is covered one after another, covering the whole ground tightly, and it feels very warm just by looking at it.

On the wall facing the temple door, there is a black gold silk nanmu plaque with the inscription "good as water" four dragons flying and phoenix dancing, and there is a pale yellow eight-dragon gold lacquer throne under the plaque, the throne is covered with a layer of thick wool cushion, and there is a rectangular pillow on the left and right sides of the throne, and the pillow is embroidered with the four-clawed dragon with the moire pattern on the foot.

The distance of about seven or eight meters on the wall on the right side of the temple gate is hollow and carved, and most of the light in the apse comes from this wall. On the left and right sides of the wall are open two openwork carved windows, and the hollow carved places on the wall and the windows are covered with a layer of extremely fine white veil.

Under the wall, there is a two-meter-long golden silk nan wood couch, and on the ground on the left and right sides of the couch there is a small foot couch of golden silk nan wood, and a thick wool blanket is spread on the couch.

In the middle of the couch is a small square table made of golden silk nanmu, and a set of purple sand teapots and teacups are placed on the tabletop. On the left and right sides of the small table are rectangular pillows, and on the pillow surface is also a four-clawed dragon embroidered with moire patterns.

Under the wall on the left side of the temple gate, there is a screen about one person high and more than three meters long, and the screen is embroidered with magnificent mountains and rivers, and each mountain and river is extremely clear and careful.

Bypassing the screen, you can see a two-meter-square golden silk nanmu bed neatly placed under the wall, the bed is covered with thick cotton wool, a layer of wool blanket is spread on the cotton wool, and then there is a pale yellow brocade quilt on top, and the quilt surface is so smooth that there is not even a trace of wrinkles.

A pale yellow satin bed hangs on the roof of the hall directly above the golden silk nanmu bed, and if the curtains hooked up on both sides are lowered, it can cover the golden silk nanmu bed.

On the left and right sides of the throne, the couch and the screen, there is a one-man high bronze lamppost, and the pillar body is carved with a coiled python, and the lampshade is hollowed out and carved with cloud patterns, which is extremely gorgeous.

And the four corners of the four corners of the temple are also hung with four palace lamps.

After looking around the front hall and apse of this pure wooden structure "palace", even if Leng Qing didn't go to the left hall and the right hall to look, he knew that the furnishings in the two side halls must be the same as the furnishings in the left hall and the right hall in the Qingxin Hall in the Weide Palace, the imperial palace of the Chibing Kingdom.

It is said that after leaving the Red Ice Country, the further south they went, the temperature gradually increased, and when they arrived at the foot of Qinshan Mountain, Leng Qing and the others had already taken off their warm clothes and put on light and breathable clothes. At this time, in this palace in the deep mountains, Leng Qing actually felt that her body was cold for a while, and in desperation, Leng Qing had to turn out the clothes she was carrying with her and pick out two warm ones to put on.

However, it is reasonable for Leng Qing to feel cold.

Although it is August now, the summer heat has not disappeared, but it is only for the southern land of the Tiancheng Continent, and for the Qinshan Mountain Range located in the hinterland of the Tiancheng Continent, especially for the palace built in the deep mountains, the temperature will inevitably be lower. Leng Qing is also born with a chill, and the chill is still a bit severe, so it is not surprising that Leng Qing feels cold. (To be continued.) )
