Chapter 4 Getting stronger starts with building a dojo!
Guangshan area, Fengyuan Mountain.
The rising sun is rising and the morning glow is gorgeous.
But I saw green mountains, white clouds lingering, and the sky and earth were clear and spiritual.
This high mountain is located in a special location and leads to the Zhenxuan Mountains in Daxia. It originates from Zhongxuanzhou and runs through Qingmingzhou. It passes through the boundaries of the nine major regions and reaches it, like a long dragon, and is settled here.
"Fengyuan Mountain inherits the Zhenxuan Mountain Range and gathers the Feng Shui of the Nine Domains."
"It is amazing that the founding ancestors of this sect can occupy such Feng Shui treasure land and establish the Baihong View."
Taoist Master Baoshou sighed and looked down at the stack of paper in his hand.
This is his efforts over the past six months to rebuild the structural design of the Taoist temple.
Since traveling through time, the Chaos Pearl has been hidden deep in the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, allowing him to practice faster and increase his Taoist power.
After six days of traveling, while he was practicing, he realized a set of formations from the Taoist rhyme of the Chaos Pearl.
In the dark, he believed that this formation could bring out the mystery of the Chaos Pearl to its extreme.
Unfortunately, his attainments in formation are relatively shallow, and he is not a master of formation, and he dares not seek help from the master of formation, but leaks the formation to the outside.
Therefore, he thought hard and finally decided to rebuild the Taoist temple. In the most fundamental way, he arranged the Taoist temple layout, even bricks, tiles, grass and wood, strictly followed the formation structure.
According to his calculations, once the Taoist temple is built, the entire Taoist temple will be a formation!
Taoist temples become the foundation of formations!
The Chaos Pearl is the source of the formation!
The Chaos Pearl is hidden in Taoist Master Baoshou's body, so Taoist Master Baoshou is the source of the formation!
Before this, due to lack of money, he had prepared a simplified version of the Taoist temple construction map.
But now, he has thrown the simplified version of the Taoist temple construction map in the corner.
Nowadays, demons are dancing in Daxia, and once the hunting list is released, it is equivalent to gold and silver everywhere for Taoist Master Baoshou.
Short of money?
It doesn't exist!
"Master Baoshou, the person you are looking for is here."
The black bear poked half of its body out of the tree.
Taoist Master Baoshou responded and looked at the way he came not far away.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with dark skin and thick hands.
This is the craftsman he found, named Wangshan, and is the best bricklayer in the counties around Fengyuan Mountain. He is simple and has a good reputation.
"Master Baoshou, what you have given me is almost done."
Wang Shan said: "At present, thirty-six craftsmen have been found. As for the one you specifically told me, it is a bit difficult."
Taoist Master Baoshou pondered and said, "Zheng Yuan? What's the difficulty for him?"
Zheng Yuan has a good origin. He worked in the court 16 years ago and was an official of the Ministry of Works. He participated in the reconstruction of the Daxia Palace and was also in charge of the construction of the current Guangshan Domain Mansion.
It’s just a pity that Zheng Yuan’s uncle, as the Minister of Works, was imprisoned and executed for the mistake of building the imperial tomb and his family was exiled.
Zheng Yuan was implicated and lost his official position in the Ministry of Works and became a white dick.
Looking at the entire Guangshan area, Zheng Yuan may not be the most outstanding craftsman, but he is the best craftsman that Taoist Master Baoshou can invite at present.
This man is quite literary, proficient in construction, and can understand the expression of pictures and texts, which is enough to build a Taoist temple based on his drawings.
This man also participated in the construction of the Daxia Palace and presided over the construction of the Palm Mansion, knowing what the grand trend is.
This person's talent, vision, and knowledge are not comparable to ordinary bricklayers.
Therefore, Taoist Master Baoshou specially told Wang Shan to invite this person as the person who presided over the construction of the Taoist temple.
"He is extremely arrogant and refuses to come." Wang Shan felt helpless when he heard this, and shook his head and said.
"So proud?" Taoist Priest Baoshou said with a smile: "As far as Xiaodao knows, Zheng Yuan is now poor and has a barren family. Now he has a job for him. He doesn't want to support his family yet?"
"His poverty is a reason." Wang Shan sighed and said, "Over the years, he has been self-reliant and unwilling to condescend. Many people asked him to build houses and temples, but he said bluntly, but for this, he has been living in vain for 16 years and his family is becoming increasingly poor."
"Didn't he say he still has a rule recently?" Baoshou said lightly.
"In the 16th year of Zheng Yuan, he had no time to go in and out, and he was living in vain. His family's wealth was empty, so he set a rule, but everyone thought he was a lunatic." Wang Shan said.
"You can tell me in detail." Baoshou said with great interest.
"Zheng Yuan once said that he was in charge of the construction of the Guangshan Domain Mansion, which lasted for a year and three months. After completion, his salary was plus rewards, and he received a silver reward of 927 taels." Wang Shan said: "So if he wanted to ask him to come out, it must not be less than 927 taels."
"Nine hundred and twenty-seven taels?" Taoist Priest Baoshou raised his eyebrows. The price was extremely high.
"Are you crazy?" Wang Shan shook his head and sighed: "He built the Palm Mansion in Guangshan Domain back then, but who can build the Palm Mansion that can be compared with the Palm Mansion? Besides, he is just a white-clothed person and has no official position. He is no longer the same as before. Even if Guangshan Domain wants to rebuild the Palm Mansion, it will not be his turn."
"You tell Xiaodao and say Xiaodao agreed." Taoist Master Baoshou suddenly replied.
"What?" Wang Shan couldn't help but be stunned, unbelievable.
"You heard it right."
Taoist Master Baoshou said lightly: "But there is one thing! He built the Palm Mansion in Guangshan Domain to be satisfied by the Lord of the Palm Domain before the completion! And when he built the Baihong Taoist Temple, he must also be satisfied by my master! If he built the construction of the Palm Domain, I will take back all of these 927 taels!"
After saying that, he saw Taoist Master Baoshou handing over a stack of paper in his hand and said, "Take this to Zheng Yuan and ask him if he dares to answer!"
——
Guangshan area, Fengxian.
This is a small courtyard, which is not big, without careful carving, without carvings and jade, but it looks simple and simple, with an alternative beauty.
"Master Baoshou agreed, but if he can't satisfy him, he will take back all nine hundred and twenty-seven taels."
"What a big tone!"
The old man, who was over 60 years old, suddenly snorted and suddenly blew his sleeves, quite dissatisfied.
"I was in charge of the construction of the Palm Domain Mansion back then, and even the current Palm Domain masters cannot find fault. He is a rural Taoist priest, is his vision higher than that of the Palm Domain?"
"Wang Shan, tell him that if he is not satisfied with the Taoist temple built by me, he can find out the problem specifically. Not to mention 927 taels, even my head will be given to him!"
"Since this Taoist can afford the price, I will let him see what a real craftsman in the Ministry of Works!"
Zheng Yuan stroked his beard slightly and said lightly: "You ask him, a Taoist priest, to choose a good day for yourself, and then call the craftsmen and start the work!"
Wang Shan responded and turned around and left.
Zheng Yuan picked up a stack of paper on the table casually.
This was brought by Wang Shan, and it was said that it was the work of the Taoist priest.
As an official of the Ministry of Works, he looked down on the masons in the city, nor did he think that the manuscripts of the country Taoist priests could be so meticulous.
But since he took on this matter, he should also learn more about it.
However, after the drawing was finished, he only glanced at it and was stunned.
"this……"
Zheng Yuan looked carefully and then became a little surprised.
His hands trembled, one by one, flipping through them.
The drawings are neatly drawn and are marked in detail, ranging from brick to tile to a minute.
The entire Taoist temple covers a wide area and is connected, with a magnificent momentum and looks grand and grand.
The Taoist temple that this Taoist wanted to build was still above the palm of the Guangshan Domain mansion in terms of scale, momentum, style and other aspects!
"Is this Taoist... going to build an immortal palace?"
Zheng Yuan remembered his previous crazy words and felt a little nervous.
This Taoist priest has such a high spirit and extraordinary vision. Can he really satisfy him?
But in an instant, Zheng Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.
The phoenix is not a sycamore tree!
In the past sixteen years, he no longer built it for others and was regarded as depressed and self-deprecating. But in fact, he was very talented and arrogant and disdained to build mud and tiled houses in ordinary houses!
For sixteen years, the whole family has been studying the art of architecture, and has never stopped for a day and never abandoned their talents. Isn’t it just to build another brilliant building in order to make the old people of the imperial work department look at each other with admiration?
"This is the sycamore tree that I have been waiting for for sixteen years!"
Zheng Yuan's eyes were shining brightly and his heart was excited, "Even if this sycamore tree is taller than I thought, I have to climb it!"
——
at the same time.
Thirty miles away from Fengyuan Mountain.
A huge figure flew across the forest, causing a strong wind.
"Don't eat us, that little Taoist priest is from Fengyuan Mountain Baihong, right in front of you."
Suddenly there was a sound, trembling.
And in his hand, he was carrying a broken knife.
His tiger's mouth had broken, but he grabbed the hilt of the knife tightly and did not dare to let go.
