It was dark, and the day's work was about to be over, Xu Wen looked at the sky and had a hunch that this trip was about to end.

After all, they are still on the way to the West Desert, and coming to Yangning Village is a kick in the road, and one day is enough for Luo Da to use actual examples to tell them what is going on in the cave.

Of course, the construction of the cave is not a matter of one or two days, not to mention that after adding this mountain wall, a lot of work has been added.

Xu Wen's harvest is very large.

Once again, he really felt Lian Tianqing's good intentions for him.

The cave was a completely different building from what he had seen and learned before, but it was not completely unrelated.

The same is a building, whether it is an earth structure or a wooden structure, they are all places to accommodate people, and there must be something in common.

The local water, soil and folk sentiment will in turn affect it, forming completely different genres and styles.

Architecture is the art of man, and craftsmanship is the work of man.

In addition, Shi Yue'e's memories of Shi Guangming also brought Xu Wen a lot of help.

It was a completely different way of solving the problem, just like opening a new door for Xu Qian, which made him feel directly: it turns out that he can still think like this!

He could feel that this kind of thinking helped not only about the cave, but also about the unique understanding and thinking of the supporting force, and it could also be used in many other aspects, which he needed to sort out slowly.

He feels very full now, his mind and heart are full.

"Almost, that's all for today. Luo Da glanced at the sky and said with a hoe.

He has gray hair, he is not young, and his physical strength is certainly not comparable to that of a young man. But at the end of the day, he did no less work than them, and he didn't look any more tired than them.

Xu asked to know why.

He is so experienced that he knows much more about the soil than they do.

Sometimes, when they encounter a harder part of the earth and rock, they just know how to make a fool of themselves, and they can distinguish the different parts and deal with them in a more effortless way.

Xu Wen can't do this, it's still far away.

Traditional craftsmanship is an empirical art, especially in an era where systematic theories and advanced tools are lacking.

The people of Yangning Village stopped in a hurry, and the head of the main family also came, and warmly invited them home for dinner.

According to the custom, the craftsmen went to the house to do the work, and they also had to provide food and shelter.

"Not today, I have something else to do, I don't stay at home at night, come back tomorrow morning. Luo Da shook his head and refused the invitation of the main family.

"Don't, today the village specially killed a pig and prepared a feast! It was prepared for you!" the master hurriedly grabbed him and said.

"If there's something wrong, leave the meat for the children to eat. Luo Da finally refused, left Yangning Village in the regretful eyes of the master, and walked down the mountain with Xu Wen.

After taking two steps, they were suddenly stopped again, and the master looked at Xu Wen, clasped his fists and asked, "I only knew that the little brother was ranked fourteenth before, may I ask what your name is?"

Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, but reported a pseudonym: "My surname is Yan, just call me Yan Fourteen." ”

"Little brother Yan. The lord put the name in his mouth and pronounced it twice, and memorized it firmly. He smiled and arched his hand, "I believe that in the future, in other places, we will definitely hear Brother Yan's name!"

Lin Xie smiled, patted Xu Wen's shoulder, and said, "Definitely." It must be resounding!"

The four of them left the main house and left Yangning Village, of course, Luo Da will come back tomorrow morning until all the caves on these two mountain walls are completed.

They came to the bottom of the mountain, where a small river flowed through the mountain stream, and it was the dry season, and the pebbles at the bottom of the river were clearly visible.

There is a road by the river, a loess road, but it is very smooth and can pass through horse-drawn carriages.

Luo Da didn't speak all the way, as if he was thinking about something. Only then did he raise his head, glance into the distance, and said, "Are you hungry?" ”

Xu Wen guessed that they had walked all night yesterday to get here, and after a day today, it was impossible for the Ximo team to stop in place and wait for them, and they must have walked a long way forward. It's definitely not enough to walk, you have to catch a car.

They did bring dry rations, and they unpacked their bags and took out their things to eat.

After a busy day, they were indeed hungry, and they ate one by one, Lin Xie was choked, and hiccups a few times, Xu Wen reached out and patted him on the back a few times.

"Come with me. Luo Da ate faster than these young people, he stuffed the steamed bun that looked very hard into his mouth in three or two bites, bit it and swallowed it, and then stood up and said to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen was a little confused, got up and followed him out of a distance, behind a bush.

Luo Da squatted on a stone and took out a dry tobacco pouch, but did not light it.

"What do you think of Shi Guangming and his daughter's thing today?" he asked bluntly, without confirming with Xu Wen at all.

Luo Da didn't say it very clearly, but Xu Wen immediately understood what he meant. He thought for a while and said, "It's interesting, the prototype should still be from her father, but I feel that after that, she has gone through some of her own thoughts and changes." ”

"Oh, how do you see that?" asked Luo Da.

"When Master Shi taught her this, she was still very young, and all she remembered was a feeling. She's actually very talented in this area, and she has grasped these feelings and thought about them a little bit, and summed up some things. Some places are taken for granted, and some places are inspired and unstable. Xu asked.

Shi Guangming is a well-known potter in the Wulian Mountain area, and he is very experienced, but Shi Yue'e added things that are more theoretical than practical, and Xu Wen also saw from this aspect that many of them are Shi Yue'e's own creativity.

"No wonder, I mean, it's a bit like Shi Guangming's handwriting, but it's a little bit like it. Shi Guang actually gave birth to such a girl...... It's a pity. Luo Da sighed. After a while, he said, "Today, I can only see whether this thing is right or wrong, what is going on, and there are some things that I don't understand very well, can you tell me about it? I won't let you teach it in vain, I still have something here that I can exchange for you." ”

Luo Da said, took out a sheepskin scroll from his arms, and handed it to Xu Wen.

"You've taught me a lot today, don't ...... anymore"

Xu Wen was halfway through his words, but was interrupted by Luo Da: "Open it and take a look." ”

Xu Wen was slightly stunned, and at this time, the sheepskin scroll had been stuffed into his hand, and he opened it curiously and found that it was a long scroll of drawings.

The main part of the drawing is a large hall, and there are many details next to it, indicating the various parts of the main hall.

It can be seen that the drawing is very old, and although the parchment is relatively easy to preserve, it is inevitably subject to some damage.

Part of the content on the drawings is incomplete, and even the main part of the main hall has many defects. But one thing is easy to see, the hall is not made of a single piece of wood, it is completely made of bricks!

Such a large building, five rooms in the east and west, three rooms in the north and south, nearly 20 zhang long, more than 10 zhang wide, all made of bricks and stones, no wood, means that it does not have a single beam and column!

This kind of architecture has never been seen at all in this era, but it has been heard of in another world.

This is the legendary Beamless Temple!
