Chapter 115 Crystal Palace

Asking the Master of Heaven to treat his mother. Zhang Li passed by my door the day before yesterday. He was very energetic and even greeted my wife. Even his son was named Digonglang Sanguan by the official because he was a filial son. It was really good luck and good fortune. Therefore, loyal ministers and filial sons would have great blessings!”

When the young man heard this, his face was gloomy and gloomy. However, he was moved by the last words of the shop. After hearing the shop talked for a long time, the food was already cold. No one had the heart to eat anymore. He was thinking about the matter of the Heavenly Master, and suddenly felt aroused in his heart.

The young man clenched his fists and thought to himself that Zhang Li's son was willing to stop the emperor from his mother's illness and asked the Tianshi to treat the disease. I can do it too!

After a long time, another Hebei merchant asked, "The Heavenly Master who has been talking about it for a long time has not yet mentioned the Crystal Palace. So what about the Crystal Palace?"

The shop simply sat down, poured himself a bowl of water from the large teapot on the table, and took a quick bite, and said, "Did you forget that Tianshi went to the Dragon King to borrow food? The Dragon King lived in the crystal palace deep in the sea. The Heavenly Master praised the beauty of this crystal palace. When the Dragon King heard this, he immediately sent Tianshi many large pieces of crystals, all of which were ten feet long and crystal clear, without any impurities, and he sent hundreds of dollars. The Heavenly Master used these hundreds of transparent crystals to build such a crystal palace in our Tokyo city..."

"A transparent crystal as big as a few hundred yuan? No flaws?" Hearing this statement, several merchants were stunned: "How much does it cost?"

How can natural crystals have such a large volume? How can crystals with a height of more than three meters, transparent, without any impurities exist? And they are still a few hundred yuan? It is shocking to hear them.

The store owner showed a proud smile, which could calm these guests from other places. It made him very proud: "If you want to go and see, you can follow the Daxiangguo Temple, just next to the former Xianggong's Mansion. Now you can still see it. If there are too many people, you may not be able to squeeze through!"

Several people had almost finished their meals and drinks, so they paid the bill and left. The shop owner smiled and said, "Tonight, the Heavenly Master was preaching. I want to listen. Dear guests, I will take a step first. I have packed the store and I will go and see it too!"

Nowadays, several merchants from Hebei West Road are following the crowd. In fact, the square in front of the Daxiangguo Temple is similar to the square in Beijing in later generations, and it is a landmark place. Anyone who has been to Tokyo City has to go for a few trips. It is the most prosperous temple fair in the entire Tokyo City. It can buy almost everything in the world.

Whether it is the white mountains and black waters in the north of the Great Liao Dynasty, the east beads or wild ginseng that the Jurchens have been sacrificing their lives, or the treasures from the big food in the west of the Western Regions. Whether it is brushes, books, precious pearls and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, inscriptions, medicines, jewelry, clothes, fresh fruits and various foods supplied by vendors, or all kinds of acrobatics and opera performances.

However, this Daxiangguo Temple is on the first day of every month. The temple market is open on the fifteenth day and the eighth day of the three and eighth day of the month, for the people to trade, but other days are not open. Today is neither the day of the temple fair, nor is it dark. The residents of Tokyo will naturally not come to Daxiangguo Temple to buy things, nor will they come to burn incense and kowtow.

Just the path to Daxiangguo Temple, I turned around. From afar, I saw the night illuminated by colorful lights. At this moment, the merchants were shocked to see how far away a crystal-like building that emits a dazzling light appeared in front of me.

"Crystal Palace. This is really a Crystal Palace!" Several Hebei merchants exclaimed, looking at the Taoist Palace that emitted a transparent blue light in their eyes.

There was a faint ethereal music in the air. This was the "Xuanyin of the Imperial Song Dynasty" written by Zhao Ji and Cai Jing wrote the lyrics. Recently, the official Zhao Ji, who was fascinated by music again, and even his favorite paintings were temporarily thrown aside. Especially after Wen Fei gave him a new toy and a brand new Steinway piano, he became fascinated by this kind of thing.

In comparison, Taoist music like the Sanqing Tianzun in later generations is good, but it is more similar to the soundtrack of games like the fairy sword. The sacred and solemn expression of religion is greatly insufficient. Recently, Zhao Ji was pulling his prime minister and was busy preparing a new Taoist chant of Xuanyin to rival the Buddhist band of Daxiangguo Temple.

Although a hundred acres of land were drawn out in the Tokyo City, every inch of land was worth every money to build the Shenxiao Heavenly Palace. In fact, the Shenxiao Heavenly Palace was just the main building, and it was impossible to cover an area of ​​100 acres in any case. A series of annexes around the nine-story Shenxiao Heavenly Palace were built to worship many gods and various other uses.

For example, a dull-shaped building that is being built now is a hypermarket planned by Wen Fei. The Daxiangguo Temple Fair is so good that it occupies the territory of Daxiangguo Temple. I don’t know how much income it can bring to Daxiangguo Temple at each temple fair? It is enough to make Wen Fei jealous.

Naturally, the idea of ​​building a large shopping mall in the Northern Song Dynasty has been wandering in Wen Fei's mind. After the shopping mall is built, rent it to various merchants, and then collect management fees and other things... It's a big income.

However, Wen Fei directly thought of a way to build a theater-like building. In order to achieve a shocking effect, Wen Fei directly adopted the steel frame structure and glass, and strived to create an effect similar to the "Crystal Palace".

This kind of building is naturally not difficult to build in modern times, but it is really a waste of time to build it in the Northern Song Dynasty. I don’t know how many difficulties it encountered, but those steel structures were welded in modern times, then dismantled into pieces and transported to the Northern Song Dynasty, assembled bit by bit, and then riveted.

This is based on the practice of later Ming Chengzu Zhu Di when he built the Wudang Golden Top. During the Yongle period, the craftsmen under the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di used this method to transport the golden top to the top of the Tianzhu Peak. It is said that the golden top was completely made of copper-cast gilded, with extremely brilliant craftsmanship, reaching the point where there was no air leakage.

However, Wen Fei, the place named the Preaching Palace, is made of a circular theater structure skeleton, all of which must be covered with high-strength glass. According to the design, at night, various colors of light will be emitted, like the palace in the sky.
