Chapter 142 Lingyun Palace will be immortal hall
Standing in the “heavenly palace” like magnificent palace is below, feel the whole person has become incredibly small, “palace” this special building, represents the Chinese classical architectural style and achievement of all the essence of the emperor’s political and ethical concepts of direct refraction, as early as in the Xia dynasty when the prototype of the palace in Chinese history, to the Sui and Tang Dynasty for the peak of the later Ming and Qing dynasties can not be surpassed. As early as the Xia Dynasty, China’s history will have the prototype of the palace, to the Sui and Tang Dynasty for the peak of the later Ming and Qing dynasties can not be surpassed, but only in the subtleties of the more refined.
“Ancient Dian” although the southwest of the barbaric land, living in a foreign country, but initially was part of the Qin, the king’s power has always been in the hands of the Qin people, to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the construction of the “Tomb of the King of Xian,” naturally not out of the Qin and Han Dynasty architectural overall framework! The appearance and layout of the tomb were based on the Qin system, while the building materials absorbed a lot of advanced experience from the Han Dynasty.
Under the main hall, there is a long jade steps, on the number of stars, a total of 99 steps, due to the relationship between the terrain, this jade steps, although wide enough, but extremely steep, the bottom of the rainbow just from the road extends upward, straight through the door of the hall, the hall is composed of one hundred and sixty roots of nanmu as the main body and the composition of the golden glazed tiles paved roof, the two sides of the towering Panlong golden osmanthus tree, carved delicate white jade railing base, more to say that the carving of the good paintings, just to see the Layer after layer of Qin bricks and Han tiles, purple pillars and gold beams, are extremely luxurious.
These are completely with the “town mausoleum spectrum” on the description of the same, in this dangerous cliffs of the absolute danger of the place, the disk rock overlap, layers of the palace are resting into the wall, gradually rising, by virtue of the virtual smoke, there is a kind of wanting to be attached to the risk of not attached to the three of us to see the dazzle of the heart horrified, along the concave slabs of stone “trestles “climbed the jade steps, look around, but see the golden top of the towering rock containing the cabinet, cliffs and ancient road at the waterfall curtain, deep pool around the ancient trees and strange vines, all around the rainbow light color floating, listening to the birds chirping in the valley, a faction of the world’s isolation of the secular scene, if not beforehand see a lot of hidden in the valley in the hairy things, I’m afraid that will really take this place as a fairyland.
And now no matter how wonderful this “heavenly palace” scene, always preconceived notions, feel inside through a subtle evil, no matter how to decorate, how luxurious, it is a palace for the dead to live in, is a big tomb, and in order to repair this big tomb, I do not know how many people died, there is a saying: ten thousand people lumbering, a person ascends to heaven.
White jade steps hanging in the deep pool above the valley, and steep and slippery, may be due to the center of gravity of the offset, the whole palace to the deep pool side slant out a few degrees, there is a kind of at any time into the abyss may be turned over, the courage of a little bit less than the person, are unable to walk on the “heavenly palace”, the fat man in the “trestle” on the already! The fat man in the “trestle” on the face has been scared, half a word can not say, now in the absolute high place, feet on this risk on the risk of white jade steps, is more soul, had to by me and Shirley Yang two people frame him, closed his eyes to slowly up.
Walked to the end of the jade steps, I suddenly found that the air here and that layer of “dragon halo” below, is actually very different, “dragon halo” under the water gas vertical and horizontal, all things, including those vines, “trestles “The stone plate, are wet as if just been rained on, and we are now in the “Heavenly Palace” is extremely cool and dry, I can not imagine that between this high and low, the air humidity difference is so much, this should be the “Dragon Halo”! Isolated the role of the water below, which in the clear and turbid environment, only to let the palace building to maintain to now, still as new, really worthy of the subtle through the mysterious, the good shape of the first immortal point, that “heavenly wheel of the dragon halo” of the immortal situation, is indeed non-trivial.
This section of the jade steps would have been very difficult to walk, and to frame the fat man, it is full of difficult, the three even dragged with climbing, it is difficult to dilly-dally to the que platform, I asked Shirley Yang to ask for a “golden steel umbrella”, to the temple door, see that the door beside a stone monument, the monument is a kneeling beast, sitting out in the clouds negative monument posture, monument on the book a few large words On the stone tablet, there were several big characters, the strokes were complicated, I could not recognize any of them, I only knew that they might be ancient seal scripts.
I can only let Shirley Yang over to identify, Shirley Yang only read once, then pointed to those words one by one read: “the mysterious and mysterious, the gate of all the wonders, Lingyun heavenly palace, will be immortal treasure hall.” It turns out that this tomb’s bright building is famous for its purpose, is called “Lingyun Palace”, and this head of a pavilion, called what “will be immortal hall”.
I couldn’t help but laugh and scold: “King Xian probably wanted to be a fairy want to go crazy, thought in the cliff wall to build a palace, will be able to invite the fairies to come to meet, accompanied by him to play chess and qin, and then pass on some immortality immortal art.”
Shirley Yang said to me, “And which emperor does not pursue immortality? However, since the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, most of the monarchs in the later generations understood that it was only a dream like light and shadow, life, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, even if you are the true son of God, it is difficult to act against the sky, even if you understand this, they still want to enjoy the glory and wealth of the life before death, that is why they so valued the layout of the king’s mausoleum pattern.”
I said to Shirley Yang, “If they were not so extravagant and obscene to place so many burial goods, where in the world would there be any gold touching schoolmasters.” Mouth said words, will lift the leg to kick open the temple door, the temple door is just closed, and no lock, very heavy, even kicked three feet, but also only by me to kick open a slit, even a person is difficult to go in, inside the black light, what can not see clearly.
Although according to past experience, in the bright building of this facility, very few organs and hidden weapons, but I am not willing to take unnecessary risks, still worried that there will be accidents, just open the door to the temple, immediately dodged to one side, holding up the “Golden Steel Umbrella” to cover up the vitals, and so on for a while, to see the temple in the absence of any unusual movement, only to go over there once again to the temple door gaps and then Push the gap in the temple door a little wider.
I nodded to the fat man and Shirley Yang, signaling that you can go in, the three have taken weapons and lighting equipment, joint efforts to push the door completely open, but because of the angle of the reason, although it is daytime, the sun can only shine to the door, the depths of the vast palace is still dark and gloomy, had to raise the flashlight to explore the way.
Just stepped through the door of the tall mahogany threshold, will see the door on both sides, standing dozens of giant statues, first of all, two mighty secluded evil bronze lions, are more than one person high, the left side of that is a male lion, under the paw pressed a golden ball, symbolizing the supreme right to unify the universe.
The right paw stepped on the young lion, symbolizing the endless progeny, this is the female lion.
The bronze platform where the lion is crouching is engraved with a phoenix and a peony, which together symbolize the “king”, the king of beasts, the king of birds and the king of flowers.
Although the world is mostly stone lions, copper lions are relatively rare, but not no, so this is nothing strange, strange on the strange pair of copper lions are not placed in front of the temple door, but placed in the inside, I do not know for what reason, in short, is very out of the ordinary.
Copper lion after this is haetae, hanhao, elephant, unicorn, camel, horse each a pair of copper beasts after the military generals, ministers, ministers a total of thirty-six, copper beasts is not good to say, the copper posture dress are very strange, rather than serving the king in the dynasty, it is more like doing some kind of ritual in a strange action, a large group of copper beasts and copper people such as the stars to move the moon, arching in the deepest part of the palace of the throne.
Fatty said: “how this palace and we have visited the thirteen mausoleums Ming Lou, completely different? The thirteen mausoleums of the treasure top gold cover, although also is the palace form, but there are no these strange copper people copper beast.”
I said to the fat man: “There is nothing strange, anyway, is the pursuit of the service of death such as the service of life, the dynasty is different, so the form is different, but its purpose is exactly the same, we go to Shaanxi pour …… traveling, is not also in the Han Tomb area has seen a large tile full of pieces of it, that is the collapsed Han Tomb on the ground palace Left behind, wooden beams can not withstand the millennium years of wear and tear, has long been rotten for the air, while the brick and tile has been preserved to the present.”
The so-called “different dynasties, different shapes.” Only my own words to comfort themselves, as for these quietly stand in the palace in a thousand years of bronze statues have what name, I still half puzzled, but I do not want to put this suspicious component, into the fat man and Shirley Yang’s psychological pressure, hopefully, I am too much to worry about.
Shirley Yang saw the extraordinary weather in the temple, also said that this Dian country for the southwest barbarians, the king’s tomb has this kind of arrangement, compared to those who represent the centralized power of the Tang Zong Hanwu’s tomb, in which the treasures are thousands of tons as a unit of calculation, and more I do not know how large-scale, but unfortunately, have been seriously damaged early, we modern people are never have the opportunity to see, can only imagine the gods. ”
I said to Shirley Yang: “Not all the king’s tomb, have this King Xian’s tomb of grandeur, King Xian simply did not plan for his descendants, perhaps his lifelong pursuit is buried in the dragon halo after death, in order to become a fairy, Qin and Han Dynasty to seek immortality and alchemy of the most prevalent wind.”
Because this “Lingyun Palace” is the ground facilities of the ancient tomb of the palace, not placed in the coffin of the chamber, so we still feel relaxed, and not like into the Palace of the Xuan Palace as tense, talking about the depths of the palace between us have walked into the palace, from behind the door of the temple at the light seems very far away, the temple in the quiet of the surprising, the more is not much movement, the more it begins to look The more there is little movement, the more it begins to look eerie.
I also began to sweat in the heart of my hand, after all, this place, to say the least, there are two thousand years no living person has come in, but here is not the slightest bit of damp mold, relatively slightly dry, in almost all the objects, are covered with a thick layer of dust, these falling ash are also in the temple in the masonry, each layer of the history of the two thousand years ago covered, more than half a point of the outside world of the stray dust.
Inlaid with gold embedded jade throne, in the deepest part of the “Hall of the Immortals”, there is a gold pool in front of the barrier, the middle is not connected to the alabaster bridge, the pool is not narrow, the water inside has long been dried up, from here through the pool with the “wolf’s-eye” to shine through, can only be vaguely seen to the throne! There is a red jade dragon coiled on the throne, and it is hard to see if there is a sitting image of King Xian.
Seeing this, Fatty scolded, “Is it true that those who have become leaders like to detach themselves from the masses? And the courtiers are so far away, but also fucking discuss an egg dynasty politics ah, walk, let’s go over to see.” Resisting the “Chicago typewriter” first jumped down a meter deep in the pool.
Shirley Yang and I also followed him to jump off the dry gold pool, see the pool there is a wooden boat, built like the shape of lotus leaves, the original before to cross the pool must also be stepped on the boat and line, it seems that the King of Xian will also play some tricks.
Did not wait from the other end of the golden pool up, we can not help it, holding the “wolf’s eye” to the opposite side of the chaotic light, the throne does not seem to be a portrait, but the back is unusual, the three of us look more and more strange, eagerly climbed up to the opposite side of the heart of my heart became apprehensive: “Is it with my Hu someone With my Hu’s mind like God, I have misunderstood the matter of the sky crash? It seems that there should be no connection between the sky crash and the airplane crash. Is King Xian’s body still in the tomb?”
