Yue Guanchao checked the corpse again and made sure that there were no flammable or explosive ancient objects on the corpse. He picked up the kerosene and stacked the two corpses on top of each other. Light the cloth and throw it over the body.
With a puff sound, the lamp oil met the flames and instantly exploded into a huge fire. The flames rushed wildly and quickly engulfed the corpse completely. It burned brightly and hot in front of everyone's eyes, and they retreated unconsciously.
Yue Guanchao looked around. The soldiers and bandits picked up the sacks, chopped off the gold, silver, leaves, pearls, and jade fruits with their swords, and put them all into the sacks. They looked like old farmers picking fruits in a good year, with greed in their faces and eyes.
"The temperature of the kerosene cannot reach that high. It will probably take a while before we can get the ashes. Also, we haven't gone into the last palace in the backyard to observe the situation. Let's go in and have a look while the corpse is burning. We are confident about the Soul Palace. I feel more at ease."
After Song Siyuan finished speaking, Yue Guanchao and the others walked around the corridors on the left and right of the palace and entered the last palace behind the Imperial Sacrifice Palace.
The area of the backyard is smaller than that of the atrium, but it is still much larger than the front yard, about twice as much. The central hall is the highest-standard temple of the Soul Palace. Its shape is completely different from the style of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the Han and Tang Dynasties, Looks particularly gorgeous
This "treasure"-shaped divine temple is a three-story building. The upper and lower floors are slightly smaller in length and width. The uppermost floor is the roof of the verandah with double eaves. The roof is covered with glazed yellow tiles. Only the rammed earth black walls appear on the ground. Twelve huge red lacquer windows are inlaid on each floor. It can be said that except for the supporting columns, they are all transparent and bright windows. Although the eaves of the rest of the main hall are just false eaves, they are made unusually high, already like a flying swallow with spread wings, and the dragon-headed owl kisses Standing on the ridge of the roof, there are many stone and gold beasts that guard the palace behind. The side hall towers are in the shape of four corners, like the four-cornered palace lanterns, which are brilliant and colorful.
The whole building is sprinkled with gold paint, applied with colorful colors, made of complex arches, patterned prophecies, gold and jade, caissons, flying golden wings, and colorful towers, making the Temple of God a veritable Golden Palace and Jade Tower!
In front of the Golden Palace and Jade Palace, there is a large pool in the backyard. It is not as extravagant and wasteful as the central courtyard. It is just an open channel with clear water flowing. Live water is often poured into the pool to stir up mist and clear smoke. There is a straight bridge in the middle leading to In the square in front of the temple, soldiers with animal heads of different shapes stand on the stone bridge, like guards in front of the temple, standing for thousands of years.
Yue Guanchao looked up and saw that the palace was located just below the seven light holes. Once the sun shone on the roof of the palace, the golden paint and glazed tiles would shine brightly, making the roof of the palace look like a brilliant golden dome. The canals reflected the Golden Palace. Even the mist seemed to turn into a golden mist, and the two sides blended brilliantly, making this place even more extraordinary!
Everyone looked at such a luxurious palace and wondered what the gods were enshrined in it.
"Since we have already built the Soul Palace, shouldn't we unify the Soul Palace buildings? Why do we still need to build such a discordant building? Xu Xiake asked.
"Palaces with colorful lacquer, compound arch patterns, jade algae golden owl, and high-winged colorful palaces are rare in history, but they are only rare, but they still appear."
Song Siyuan paused, picked up the telescope and asked in a calm tone: "Do you know the Mingguang Palace of the Han Dynasty?"
"Mingguang Palace?"
The others looked confused, but Yue Qingshan seemed to know something, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Mrs. Li died early in the Western Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu was lonely. In order to meet Mrs. Li, he ordered Dongfang Shuo to find the alchemist Li Shaojun to summon the soul of Mrs. Li.
This Li Shaojun searched hard for half a year and found highly poisonous and strange stones from the wild land to summon the soul of Mrs. Li. When the sacrificial ceremony was completed in the middle of the night, a graceful figure gradually appeared in the curtain. Emperor Wu knew that it was Mrs. Li as soon as he saw the figure. He wanted to talk to her, but Mrs. Li's soul had already dissipated.
Emperor Wu had no choice but to write an ode to mourn Mrs. Li, and asked Li Shaojun why he was like this!
The alchemist bluntly said that people who are separated by yin and yang cannot meet each other. If they must meet, they must build a gorgeous platform and pile up rare treasures to create a golden aura. Only in this way can the soul not be driven out to meet him.
From then on, Emperor Wu built a new palace in the northeast of Changle Palace. It is said that this palace has green eaves, golden owls, colorful paint, and thousands of pieces of gold, silver, pearls and jade to decorate the palace. When night comes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will enter the palace. Meet Mrs. Li’s spirit.
Every night, the people of Chang'an City can always see the brightly lit lights in the northeast of the imperial city, and the color is like clouds. At a glance, they know that Emperor Wu is meeting the soul of Mrs. Li. This palace is also known as the bright light day and night and the golden glow. It’s called Mingguang Palace!
There is the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Whenever future emperors, generals and ministers want to meet the soul, they often have to build a gorgeous high platform to accommodate the soul. After the death of Concubine Yang of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong also asked workers to carve jade stones for the jade statue. I still want to meet her in my dream when I'm in Huaxe Tower.
"Daughter, what you mean is that this palace is made so gorgeous because there are souls trapped in it!"
Song Siyuan looked at everyone and nodded in agreement.
