"Could it be because the temple is built of copper, which is more susceptible to lightning than something made of earth or wood?"

After hearing what Zhang Xin said, Zhu Gaochi also had some clues.

Qian'er wisely stood up and went to the back to ask the alchemists to come over.

Zhu Zhanyong continued to talk about what he saw and heard on the mountain.

On the roof of the Golden Palace, there is naturally a circle of auspicious beasts, just like those in the Forbidden City. Among them is a seahorse. Whenever a heavy rain comes, the seahorse will spit out mist and make sounds.

Believers call this "seahorse spitting smoke."

The Taoists in the Golden Temple have an explanation for this.

Although the auspicious beast seahorse on the roof is a divine creature, it is hollow. The top of the mountain is cold and foggy all year round, so the seahorse's belly is naturally full of clouds and fog.

Before it rains, the top of the mountain is always stuffy and even people feel like they can’t breathe.

As a mythical beast, the seahorse will of course do the same, and will spit out the mist in its stomach.

It's the same as when your breath turns to ice in very cold weather.

Zhu Zhanyong did not see the seahorse spitting out smoke, but everyone on the mountain said they had seen it, so he had no way of commenting on it.

Outside the Golden Palace, for Zhu Di - a vision that would last as long as the heaven and earth.

After discussing with the craftsmen, Mu Xin built a circle of city walls around the top of Tianzhu Peak. The entire golden palace including the city wall was named "Purple Gold City", corresponding to the Forbidden City in Beijing.

The walls of Zijin City are all made of local materials.

It was built with huge stones, and each stone weighs about two thousand pounds.

It took a lot of work to find these suitable stones and transport them to the top of the mountain.

To enclose the entire Golden Palace, we need about a thousand stones like this, but we haven’t found all of them yet, and we have only enclosed less than one-tenth of it so far.

When it is completed, it will be in a dangerous place but solid and stable, like a halo surrounding the Wudang Golden Palace. It will definitely be the most dazzling and breathtaking existence on the top of the mountain.

The exterior and the outside were so spectacular, and Zhu Zhanyong was even more amazed by the inside of the Golden Palace.

The statues, offerings, and tables in the hall are all made of bronze and plated with gold. The craftsmanship is the same as that of the exterior walls of the Golden Hall, so the inside looks even more splendid and dazzling than the outside.

The "eternal lamp" in front of the statue of Xuanwu has been lit since it was built. It has never swayed, and its size has never changed. No matter how strong the winds and rain are outside, or how loud the lightning and thunder are, it has never been extinguished.

"It is widely rumored among believers that there are wind-proof beads in the Golden Temple, but the Taoist priests told me that it is not that mysterious. The master craftsman who built the Golden Temple was so skilled that the entire Golden Temple was airtight. As long as there is enough oil, it will stay lit forever. During the day, there are Taoist priests who are careful to add oil. Even if someone forgets to add oil at night, they will definitely relight it before opening the door to welcome believers."

Zhu Zhanyong was also convinced.

After this trip, he had a much better impression of the Taoists.

At least these people dare to speak the truth.

It's just that no one seems to believe their truth.

When he was in the mountain, someone asked the Taoist priest how to worship and which person to worship to get promoted and get rich.

The Taoist priest said, "When I become rich, I will tell you how to become rich." Anyway, I have been worshipping for so many years and I am still clean. As for promotion, I have no need for it and I don't understand.

Someone else asked, how can one achieve immortality.

The Taoist rolled his eyes and said, "If I had known that I would still be hanging around here?"

The temples and people on this mountain amazed Zhu Zhanyong.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhang Xin was very happy to hear this.

This tune is very similar to Zhang Sanfeng. He is indeed a disciple of Zhang Sanfeng.
