Chapter 10 Taiyu, Imperial Capital!
Dadu, capital, imperial palace.
This is probably the largest and most spectacular building complex in most of the city. It covers an area of nearly 2 million square meters, about one-fifth of the area of the capital, and is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties marched to the palace. The previous emperor, Yang Hanwen, had 5,000 harem beauties, not to mention all kinds of palace maids, eunuchs and other subordinates who served, so the palace naturally had countless palaces. In the royal atlas, the roughly recorded documents show that there are more than 50,000 halls in the Dadu Imperial Palace, which is twice the number of imperial palaces in the previous dynasties!
If you can fly up to the sky and look down from mid-air, you can see that except for the rows of wings and low halls that rely on the palace walls to show guard and vigilance, the rest of the buildings have a feeling of stars and moons, and the diameter of the center of the palace is 5,000 meters, and the closer to the center of the palace, the more rigorous the coordination and connection of the buildings! This has experienced the joint efforts of at least three generations of craftsmen up and down. When you reach the central hall, it cooperates with the celestial phenomena, faintly exuding a kind of majesty of the heavens and stars and the free operation. If the overall layout of the palace can be compared to the ephemeral calendar of the stars in the heavens, then this hall is the noon sun, sitting in the north and facing south, it is the most brilliant side of the sky and the sky!
This hall is the main body and core space of the whole palace building, the top of the load-bearing eaves hall is on the top, in order to compare the supreme majesty of the fairy world heavenly palace, sit down to sit down five layers of ancient Han white marble as the material to make the steps, the use of golden dragon and seal color painting, the roof of the immortal beast as many as 36 pieces, 18 rooms, all adopt the highest form. It is one of the largest existing wooden frame buildings in China, there is a square in front of the palace, which can accommodate up to 100,000 people to worship and celebrate, the whole palace is magnificent, can swallow mountains and rivers, and is worthy of being the main building and core space of the entire palace city.
In front of the main hall, a pure gold, four-sided plaque serves as the center and hangs the temple, which is located between the first and second layers of the palace, playing a role in suppression. (There is also a formal hall above the first floor of the main hall, which is formally formal, and it is connected to the first floor inside, and the internal space of the main hall can also be expanded, so it is called a false hall.) )
The periphery of the plaque is recessed and secretly inlaid with a circle of deep dark brown mahogany, which is delicate and fragrant, also known as 'dragon wood' and 'ghost wood'. The peach tree is feared by a hundred ghosts, and it is the most widely used material for killing evil spirits and controlling ghosts. Legend has it that Kuafu chased the sun, and before he died, he threw out the sacred tree and turned it into a peach forest. The earliest Spring Festival couplets in our country are made of peach wood boards, also known as peach charms, for thousands of years, peach wood has the saying of suppressing disasters and avoiding evil, and is called the sacred wood. The peach wood inlaid in this plaque is to prevent the yin god from disturbing and destroying this plaque.
The plaque is based on vermilion, with the original gold as the theme, and the three words "Taiyu Palace" are written on it, which is the imperial pen of the previous Holy Ancestor Emperor Yang Hanwen.
There is a wide platform in front of the hall, called Danma, commonly known as the platform. On the platform, there is a sundial and a Jialiang, a pair of copper turtles and copper cranes, and 36 copper tripods. Turtles and cranes are symbols of longevity. The sundial was an ancient timekeeper, and the Jialiang was an ancient standard measuring instrument, both of which were symbols of imperial power. His Royal Highness is a five-storey white marble stone pedestal with a height of 15 meters, surrounded by a railing. Under the railing, there is a unique ingenuity, and there is a stone carving faucet for drainage, which can present the wonder of a thousand dragons spitting water in the rainy season.
The Taiyu Hall is an extremely important building, and major ceremonies such as the emperor's enthronement and the canonization of the empress are carried out here. Above the Taiyu Hall is the top of the heavy eaves hall with the highest architectural form, and there are 4.09m high and about 4,900 kilograms of big kisses at both ends of the roof ridge. In the past dynasties, the forks of the ancient buildings are decorated with some small beasts, these small beasts are arranged, there are strict regulations, according to the level of the building and the number of differences, the most is the decoration on the Taiyu Palace, there are a total of ten, which is unique in the history of ancient palace architecture. shows the supreme importance. The first ornament is a man riding a phoenix immortal, according to legend, it was originally the king of the ancient holy dynasty who was not immortal and non-Buddha, and later cultivated to even ascend to immortal. The immortals were followed by ten small beasts: dragons, phoenixes, lions, pegasi, seahorses, spicy,, pigs, bullfights, and xingshi. In other ancient buildings, a maximum of nine beasts are generally used. There are strict hierarchical boundaries here, and only the Jinluan Treasure Hall (Taiyu Palace) can have ten complete things, and the small beasts on the other halls are decreasing according to their levels.
Suddenly, an extremely faint shadow flashed away, and it did not alarm the martial arts guards who could be seen almost everywhere around the main hall. I saw the shadow of a carp rolling, and more than a hundred shadows were stretched out in mid-air one after another. However, because the figure was extremely fast, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was only slightly blurred, and not even an afterimage was formed.
This phantom flickered, and the forty or fifty-meter-high Taiyu Hall almost easily stepped over and landed gently on a wing house on the left side of the main hall.
The man looked a little emaciated, but on the contrary, he seemed very energetic. A sharp black hair pointed in different directions like a sharp sword, but it didn't
It does not appear to be scattered. Beneath the black hair, a pair of pitch-black pupils are as deep as an abyss. He is none other than Lu Bang Zhou Xu!
Zhou Xu leaned down and lay tightly on the top floor of the wing room to hide his figure. He looked around slightly, and the palaces and temples around him, the pair of black eyes that usually showed a hint of shock when Mount Tai collapsed without changing his face, which showed how surprised and turbulent he was in his heart.
"Good guy, the layout of this palace is simply impenetrable! This kind of layout is an imitation of the ancient dynasty with the stars as the base of a piece of fabric, our Lu Gang has experienced hundreds of generations of heritage, there is no such thing, he once had a large capital, but it is less than a hundred years of accumulation, where did he get it?" Zhou Xu was shocked, "This kind of layout, even with the peerless speed of more than 100 of my movements, can only sneak in, and I can't get close to the body of the Emperor Ren at all!"
"Moreover," Zhou Xu paused, and then said, "This Taiyu Hall also hides five mysterious talismans that have been forged by peerless masters with all their might!"
It turned out that in the 154th year of the new Yuan Era, Emperor Ren succeeded to the throne of the emperor, and all the capitals and countries in the world were in the heavenly capital, and there were countless treasures of all kinds of various kinds. Based on this, Emperor Ren asked the Shenxiao Daoist priests under the jurisdiction of the royal family to make a batch of Tianmu talismans.
