Chapter 36 Will you see a church in the mountains?
Because of Ieta's words, everyone swarmed up to the open-air balcony on the top floor to observe the appearance of this alien shelter hidden among the three mountain barriers.
Looking down from above, it is obvious that the Sanshan boundary is a circular area, surrounded by rolling ridges, lush forests and winding river networks, forming a natural dividing line from the outside world. The terrain here is complex.
, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. Even without the camouflage of the etheric curtain, it is difficult for outsiders to climb over the ridges and walk through the forests to find this hidden secret.
Only when it falls from the sky like Cloud Whale Sky Island can we fully see its appearance.
Even at night, the Three Mountains Realm looks extremely bright. This brightness does not come from the stars in the night sky or artificial light sources, but from some kind of rose-like plants that grow on a large scale here. They spit out different shapes from their stamens.
A regular halo illuminates the surrounding space. A single flower may only be as bright as a firefly, but the halos of thousands of flowers blend together to form a nebula in the valley.
, making the night here not so deep and silent.
Moreover, these lights are soft and not dazzling, so they will not give people an abrupt feeling. The tide formed by the light will also rhythmically create circles of tangible ripples with the breathing activity of the flowers, caressing the flowers.
Passing through the buildings and forests, the valley seems to be enveloped in a beautiful curtain of light, which is gorgeous and dreamlike.
"Ah!" When Metien saw this scene, he opened his eyes subconsciously and exclaimed: "It's Star Rose. I've seen it in books. It's a very rare alchemy material and potion material. I didn't expect this.
There are so many!”
Affected by those medicine books, while others were still sighing at the wonderful dream of this scene, the first thought that came to her mind was actually the content mentioned in the book. Perhaps this can reflect from the side that the little girl is gradually growing into
A qualified pharmacist.
These flowers called star roses bloom on vines as thick as a baby's arm. From the innate conditions, these vines should be in a state of wild growth, so they can bloom so vigorously and unrestrainedly; but there is a skilled craftsman.
Gardeners have used ingenious means to integrate them into man-made buildings: on the main cross-shaped road that runs through the entire three-mountain boundary, white stone pillars are erected at regular intervals, and the stone pillars are connected in series with tree stump fences.
As a result, vines with blooming star roses twined around the fence, grew green, and naturally climbed up the white stone pillars. The flowers bloomed at high altitudes, forming a natural decorative street lamp, illuminating everything within the street.
dark.
In addition, the walls and roofs of the buildings extending out on both sides of the street are also covered with star rose vines, making them look like fairy tale elves' cabins, full of natural wild charm.
It can be seen that the founder of Sanshan Boundary should be an excellent planner. When he originally designed the shelter, he took into consideration the issues of transportation and convenience. Therefore, although the types of buildings are different, the heights are different, and even the styles are different.
Difference: There are traditional houses made of wooden boards, stone bricks and mud that can be seen in the human world, as well as tree houses and rattan houses built on high places and connected to each other by overpasses and suspension bridges, and even some
There are some more unique structures: bird's nests built in the canopy of trees, honeycombs hanging from branches, burrows dug at tree roots, etc.
Different alien species have different living habits. Human planners only need to consider human living habits, while shelter planners have to consider all complex situations and strive to create them into a unified whole. Despite this,
The traffic situation in the shelter is still very smooth. The main roads and small streets on the ground are connected to each other. The overpasses and suspension bridges in the sky are stacked and interconnected. There is also a circular low wall on the outermost periphery to separate the forest and the shelter. It seems that
It is intricate, but actually the context is clear. At a glance, not only does it not appear complicated, but it is actually pleasing to the eye.
Among these various types of buildings with unique shapes, the most eye-catching one, and the first thing that everyone who enters the Three Mountains area will notice, is the large building located at the intersection of the cross-shaped main road.
Already.
It is hard to imagine that such a magnificent building can be seen in the deep mountains. It should appear in the most prosperous parish of Lunwetim, the City of Ten Thousand Cities, or in the building of St. Ceran, the capital of the Theocracy of Dipesion.
The main body is a Gothic cathedral with a distinctive style, built of pure white stone, with majestic pointed vaults, the space extending inward and upward, supplemented by bright marble corridors, towering cross spires, and golden
The relief murals and stained glass windows that occupy almost the entire front wall reflect its solemnity, magnificence and sacredness with contrasting colors and dynamic upward lines; there are sloping flying buttresses on both sides of the church.
The walkway leads to the atrium square paved with stone bricks and decorated with floor decorations, forming a defensive trend; in addition, a large number of arc arches, relief columns, niches, and winding arcades are used to create extremely exquisite
, the smart and gorgeous decorative building adds an extremely strong and inviolable religious atmosphere to it, making everyone who faces it for the first time feel their own insignificance in the urge to worship.
This reflects the worship and awe of God, and this is exactly the intention of the builder.
What's even more commendable is that the proportions of this cathedral, which is gorgeous and elegant in shape and solemn and sacred in temperament, have obviously been reduced. Therefore, even the tallest spire is not more than thirty meters high, while the height of the dome of the main hall is
It can reach up to fifty meters. This may be due to the consideration of saving building area, or perhaps it is not to build it too grandly, so as not to waste manpower and financial resources and easily attract unnecessary attention. The only way is to put the church in front of you
By magnifying the proportion in your mind to double or triple the original size, perhaps you can restore the state that the designer envisioned for it in the drawings, the height that can only be looked up at, the stunning splendor that makes people lose consciousness, and the almost lustful state.
A suffocating sense of depth.
But then again, being able to perfectly reflect the gorgeous, sacred, classical and elegant temperament that this church naturally possesses from the beginning of its design even at a reduced scale is not the architect’s profound skill.
Where is it? If placed in the history of human architecture, perhaps it is a genius who can share honors with the great Machiavelli, Michelangelo, Brunelleschi and other masters, right?
"That is the Evangelical College, a cathedral built by Lord Pancras after borrowing and imitating the structure of the original building." Everyone looked a little dazed and forgot their words for a while, but Siesta's voice spoke at the right time.
Their ears rang: "As for the original building that he used as a reference, it still stands in the seven-star area of Lunwithin, the capital, and its name is St. Anville's Cross Church."
"Of course, St. Anville's Cross Church also has its prototype, and its prototype is not only famous in the history of architecture, but also in the history of religion. It is known as the oldest church building in mankind, and that is the sanctuary of the Spiritual Prayer Meeting——"
