Chapter 115: The Crystal Palace

Ask the Heavenly Master to heal his mother. This is not that Zhang Li's family, he was still passing by my door the day before yesterday, and he was very energetic, and he was still greeting my Hun family. is his son, and because he is a filial son, he was named a Di Gonglang by the official family, which is really good luck and good fortune. Therefore, loyal ministers and filial sons have their own great blessings!"

When the young man heard this, his face was cloudy. But I was touched by the last words of the store. After listening to this store for a long time, the food was already cold. No one had the heart to eat anymore, they all thought about the matter of the Heavenly Master, and their hearts suddenly gave birth to longing and awe.

The young man clenched his fists, and said in his heart that Zhang Li's son was willing to stop his mother's illness and ask the heavenly master to cure him. I can do it too!

After a long time, another Hebei merchant asked: "After talking about the Heavenly Master for a long time, I haven't talked about the Crystal Palace, what about the Crystal Palace?"

The shopkeeper simply sat down, poured himself a bowl of water from the big teapot on the table, poured it happily, and said, "Have you forgotten that the master went to the dragon king to borrow food that day? The Heavenly Master praised this crystal palace for being so beautiful, and when the Dragon King heard it, he immediately sent the Heavenly Master a lot of large pieces of crystals, all of which were one zhang long, crystal clear, and without the slightest impurity, and sent hundreds of them. The Heavenly Master used these hundreds of transparent crystals to build such a crystal palace in Tokyo City......"

"Hundreds of pieces of transparent crystal, without the slightest flaw?" Hearing this, several merchants were stunned in surprise: "How much does this cost?"

Where can natural crystals have such a large volume? more than three meters, transparent. How can a crystal without the slightest impurity be stored in ZĂ i? And it is still a few hundred pieces? It is shocking and inexplicable to hear it.

The shopkeeper showed a proud smile, able to calm these guests from the countryside. made him very proud: "If you want to go and see, you go along the Daxiangguo Temple, which is next door to the former Cai Xianggong Mansion." If you go now, you can still see it, if there are too many people, I'm afraid I won't be able to squeeze in!"

A few people ate and drank about the same, and they paid the bill and left. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Tonight happened to be the Heavenly Master's preaching. I'm going to listen to it too. Ladies and gentlemen, let's go first, I've packed up the store, and I'm going to see it!"

At present, several merchants from Hebei West Road are moving forward with the flow of people. In fact, the square in front of the Great Xiangguo Temple is similar to the square in Beijing in the later generations, which is a landmark. Anyone who has been to Tokyo City will have to visit it a few times. It is the most prosperous temple fair in the whole of Tokyo. You can buy almost everything in the world.

Whether it is between the white mountains and black waters in the north of Daliao. Those Jurchens sacrificed their lives to collect the eastern pearls or wild ginseng, or the treasures from the western regions. Whether it is pen and ink, books, treasures, pearls and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, tablets, medicines, jewelry, clothes, fresh fruits and all kinds of food supplied by vendors. Or all kinds of acrobatics, opera performances, everything.

It's just that this Daxiangguo Temple is open to the temple market on the first day of the first month, the fifteenth day of the new year, and every third and eighth day for the people to trade, but it is not open on other days. Today is not the day of the temple fair, and it is already dark. Naturally, those residents of Tokyo City will not come to Daxiangkokuji Temple to buy things, let alone burn incense and kowtow.

Just the path of Dasangkokuji Temple. And he turned around. In the distance, I saw that the night was illuminated by a field of colored lights. At this moment, those merchants were shocked to see how far away a crystal like a jewel emitted a brilliant light appeared in front of them.

"Crystal Palace. This is really the Crystal Palace!" Several Hebei merchants said in admiration, looking at the entire Dao Palace that emitted a transparent blue glow with obsessive eyes.

There is ethereal music in the air, which is Zhao Ji's own music, with Cai Jing's lyrics of "Emperor Song Guojiao Xuanyin". The recent official Zhao Ji has become obsessed with music again, and even his favorite paintings have been temporarily put aside. Especially after Wen Fei gave him a new toy, a brand new Steinway piano, he became obsessed with this kind of thing.

In comparison, Taoist music such as Sanqing Tianzun in later generations is good. But the soundtrack, which is more similar to the soundtrack of games like Fairy Sword, is greatly lacking in the sacred and solemn expression of religion. Recently, Zhao Ji pulled his prime minister, and he was busy compiling a new Taoist Xuanyin chant to rival the Buddhist orchestra of Daxiangguo Temple.

Although in the city of Tokyo, where every inch of land is valuable, 100 acres of land were set aside to build the Shenxiao Heavenly Palace. In fact, the Shenxiao Heavenly Palace is only the main building, and it is impossible to cover an area of 100 acres anyway. Around the periphery of the nine-story Shenxiao Heavenly Palace, a series of outbuildings will be built to worship many gods and spirits, as well as various other uses.

For example, a small building with a dull shape is now being built, which is a hypermarket planned by Wenfei. The business of the Daxiangguo Temple Association is so good, and it occupies the territory of the Daxiangguo Temple. Every temple fair doesn't know how much income it can bring to Daxiangguo Temple, which is enough to make Wen Fei's eyes red to death.

Naturally, the idea of building a large shopping mall in the Northern Song Dynasty has been lingering in Wen Fei's heart. When the time comes, after the mall is built, it will be rented to various merchants, and then a management fee will be levied...... Think about it as a lot of income.

But the Crystal Palace was Wen Fei who directly thought of a way to build a theater-like building first. In order to achieve a shocking effect, Wen Fei directly adopted a steel frame structure and a glass shape, striving to create an effect similar to that of a "crystal palace".

This kind of building is naturally not a little difficult to build in modern times, but it is really a death to build in the Northern Song Dynasty. I don't know how many problems I encountered, those steel structures were welded in modern times, and then disassembled into pieces and transported to the Northern Song Dynasty, assembled little by little, and then riveted together.

This is still borrowed from the later Ming Chengzu Zhu Di when he built the Wudang Golden Dome, and the craftsmen under Zhu Di of the Ming Chengzu during the Yongle period used this method to transport the golden dome to the top of Tianzhu Peak. It is said that the gold dome is completely made of copper cast gilt, and the craftsmanship is extremely clever, reaching the point that there is no leakage at all.

The place named Wenfei's preaching palace is all made of circular theater structures, all of which must be covered with high-strength glass. According to the design, at night, there are various colors of light released, like a heavenly palace.

It's just that although the idea is good, there are countless problems encountered in the construction. Even the master craftsman was in a hurry to turn his hair white, and in the end he used a lot of wood, which was greatly discounted, and the entire preaching palace was built.
