While studying the task, Xu asked them to enter the Dragon Temple.

As soon as they entered the gate of the courtyard wall, heavy shadows shrouded in, enveloping all six of them inside.

The six of them looked up again and saw the ancient cypress trees above their heads, each of which was at least a hundred years old.

The cypress trees are evergreen, and now it is late autumn, and most of the leaves on the other trees have been lost, and these ancient trees are still green, but because they are too old, they are dyed with a touch of depth, and they look more and more solemn.

"As soon as I walked in, my heart calmed down. Jiang Wangfeng said with emotion.

"This wood can be used as a girder!" Xu San said as he approached one and touched its bark.

"Hey!" Jiang Wangfeng looked at him dissatisfied, "You're too violent." ”

"Violent ...... What is the violence? What kind of crepe, isn't the tree just cut down for people?" Tian Jifeng had a good relationship with Xu San during this time, and helped him speak, which was also his true words.

"Who said that these big trees perfectly set off the grandeur of the Dragon Temple, making people calm and condense. Think about it, if there are only houses here, it doesn't feel right?" Jiang Wangfeng argued, "This is like our garden in the south of the Yangtze River, which must be coordinated with mountains, rocks, trees, flowers and plants to achieve the best effect." ”

In this regard, Jiang Wangfeng's level is higher than all of them, and they have nothing to argue about.

However, it can be seen that Tian Jifeng and the others are not completely convinced, but they just don't know how to tell Jiang Wangfeng.

Xu Wen watched from the side and shook his head slightly.

If you stand in a different position, you will see something different.

Jiang Wangfeng's family was a relatively front-end handicraft group in this era, and its social status was a little lower, but it was rich and did not worry about life at all.

Tian Jifeng and they are even more at the bottom, food and clothing are not yet full, and the judgment of demand is also the bottom, what is required is practicality, and it never involves the level of appreciation and art.

So it's the same thing to look at a tree, and what you see on the one hand is beautiful, and what you see on the other side is easy to use.

In fact, from different standpoints, things will not be seen the same, let alone judgments based on this.

This theorem is common in any era.

However, their attention was quickly diverted.

Stepping on the narrow stone path, through this forest of ancient cypresses, the dragon temple hidden behind them soon appeared in front of them.

All their eyes were drawn to it.

From the outside, only one part of the temple can be seen, and occasionally a corner of the cornices peeking out from the branches makes people yearn for its whole picture.

And when its full appearance officially appeared before their eyes, the beauty and solemnity completely subdued them, and they all shut up in an instant, completely speechless.

Xu Wen was also shocked. He stepped forward, and his eyes reflected the layers of heavy eaves and houses, the corridors and pavilions that meandered away, and he couldn't believe that this was real.

Is this really real in Jincheng?

The contrast between it and the outside of Jincheng may not be too great!

The Jincheng outside cannot be considered dilapidated as a whole, but it always seems to be covered with a layer of dust, with an indescribable sense of crampedness.

The buildings are mainly made of brick and earth, and the color tone is usually gray or yellow, and it is still late autumn, there is no green, and it always looks a little gray.

But here, black and red lacquer are intertwined, gold glazed tiles and red fired tiles are distinct, the temple is tall and towering, and occasionally you can see the double-layered cornices.

This dragon temple was in stark contrast to the Jincheng outside, and it was completely unimaginable that it was in the same area.

At this time, not to mention Tian Jifeng and a few other soil buns, even Jiang Wangfeng, who was well-informed at home, was stunned, and looked at it with his mouth wide open.

"It's spectacular......" he muttered.

"Brother Feng, you're right, this temple has to be matched with cypress trees, otherwise it won't have this effect. Tian Jifeng was quiet for a while, and suddenly agreed with Jiang Wangfeng's previous words. No matter how poor the bottom is, his basic aesthetics are no problem.

"Who built this dragon temple? Chen Wannian was quiet for a while, and suddenly asked.

"I don't know, according to the previous rumors, it must have been built for more than 100 years, right? I don't know which big man was more than 100 years ago......" Tian Jifeng's eyes lit up, and he wanted to inquire.

"Maybe longer. It takes several generations for a temple of this level to be built. Jiang Wangfeng said.

"No wonder it can also alarm the royal craftsmen to come and measure. Chen Wannian said.

"yes......" everyone agreed.

Xu Wen listened but was still a little skeptical.

First, he is also very curious about who built this temple, after all, it is not like an old-fashioned belief such as Buddhism and Taoism, and it has gathered many believers for many years, and it can gather a lot of money by relying on this.

Second, the Dragon Temple is indeed extraordinary, but it is still incomparable to the inner courtyard of the palace.

There must be another reason why a first-class craftsman led a team of so many people to come here to conduct a comprehensive survey of the Dragon Temple and summarize its patterns.

"Let's go, let's go and complete the task first. He couldn't think of these things, so Xu Wen shook off his thoughts and beckoned to his companions.

"Hmm!" a group of people quickly responded.

They soon found the Pure Yang Temple, which was actually the main hall of the Dragon God Temple.

Speaking of which, Chunyang is the name of Taoism, and it is also quite interesting to take this name for the main hall of the Dragon Temple.

Approaching the main hall with the plaque of the word Chunyang, I saw a person sitting on the stone steps from a distance, wearing the uniform gray coarse cloth clothes of the Jingying Mansion. When he saw them, he beckoned, "Come on a mission, I'll take a look." ”

Xu Wen walked over and handed him the scroll of paper in his hand, and the man unfolded it and looked at it—needless to say, he was literate again.

"The size of the Twelve Shun Yu of the Pure Yang Palace? He read it, looked up at him, and reached out to point inside, "Guys are all ready, right? ”

The six people walked into the main hall and found that there were already quite a few people inside.

The Pure Yang Hall is the main hall of the Dragon God Temple, and it is also the core building here, with an orthodox and complex structure, and there are many places that need to be measured and drawn.

Many of the tasks taken from outside are directed here.

A wooden frame was erected along the wall in the hall, which was a relatively simple scaffolding, and many people climbed up and down the shelf.

Seeing Xu Wen and them coming in, the people in Jingying Mansion only glanced at them at most, and some of them didn't even look down, completely immersed in their work.

The West Desert team was different, no matter how old or young, almost everyone put down the tools in their hands and shouted very respectfully: "Fourteenth brother!"

The voice was not neat, a little fluctuating, but everyone in Jingying Mansion was still shocked and turned their heads and stared at Xu Wen for a long time.

Such a young man?

That's too magnificent, isn't it?

In this era, the distinction between master and apprentice is very strict, Xu Wen has taught them a lot of things, like a half-master, and now it has nothing to do with his age.

Xu Wen calmly nodded, looked up and asked the person on the shelf, "Is the strap ready?"

"Okay, don't worry!" everyone responded, patting the tie around their waists.

This is the "safety rope" that Xu Wen took them to make, in fact, it is made of hemp rope, and there is a live buckle, which is very strong on the one hand, and can also move left and right on the scaffolding on the other hand, which is very convenient.

Xu Wen combined modern knowledge with them when he was in a hurry to rest, and he also braided a lot of ropes to tie up. He stressed the issue of safety for a long time, and it was very happy to see that they all remembered it.

"Wow, coward. ”

The group of people in Jingying Mansion watched coldly, and finally found an opportunity to mock.

"Ah Nian, are you ready?" Xu Wen turned a deaf ear and turned his head to ask Chen Wannian.

"Good...... All right. Chen Wannian heard the ridicule, and was looking over there, but when he heard Xu Wen's greeting, he reluctantly turned back.

"Tie it on. Xu asked.

"Hmm......" Chen Wannian hesitated for a moment, and finally took out the hemp rope, bypassed his shoulders according to Xu Wenjiao's technique, tied it on his waist, and fastened it.

Xu Wen checked it, picked up the bag and fixed it on his body, and said, "I'll tell you what to measure below, and you do it." ”

"Hmm!" Chen Wannian made up his mind and did not hesitate, and said very resolutely.

Then, with great agility, he climbed to the shelf, tied the knot, and fastened it.

His current position is parallel to the first Shun Yu, a little distance in the middle, which belongs to the range that can be measured but not very good.

"It's Yuanyu. Chen Wannian glanced at it and said below.

There are many square ones, but there are also round ones.

"Section diameter. Xu Wen stared at his movements, saw that he was ready, and immediately said his request.

Next to him, Tian Jifeng sat on the ground, holding a wooden board and charcoal, ready to record.

Chen Wannian took out a cotton rope from his waist bag, and a perforated stone was tied to each end of the rope, pulling the cotton rope and hanging down.

Chen Wannian lifted the cotton rope with both hands and leaned over to the first beam.

He crawled fast, sat up straight, and lifted steadily, which was his special ability that Xu Wen discovered. His flexibility and balance are amazingly good, allowing him to move very consistently in some special postures and environments.

He lifted the cotton rope horizontally, so that the weights at both ends naturally drooped, and the straight rope was close to the edge of the beam. When the weight came to rest, he memorized the length of the rope and took out a ruler at the speed of light to measure the result.

Then he raised his voice and shouted, "One foot and one inch and nine minutes in diameter!"

Xu Wen nodded, and asked Tian Jifeng next to him: "The diameter is one foot, one inch and nine minutes, how much is the circumference?"

The craftsmen of the Jingying Mansion next to him pricked up their ears to listen to them, and at this time they looked at each other, all of them looking confused.

What is the diameter? What does it look like is the length of the transverse plane of the Shun Tree?

What is the circumference?

How can this be calculated?!
