Chapter 12 Restoration in Progress (Ask for Collection)

When restoring these historic and sacred buildings, Li Er always had a heart of awe, because they have great power to shelter mankind, and because they carry too much cultural memory.

They are alive, and the joy achieved is unparalleled when the restorers carefully restore the lost fragments of them with the most traditional techniques that have been followed for centuries.

The day after the dismantling of 'Shengyi' was completed, the third master came early, sitting not far away without saying a word on crutches, looking at the dismantled ruins.

After that, the genius gradually brightened, and Li Er and the craftsmen and masters also came.

Subsequently, the soldiers and civilians who had nothing important to do at hand in Qingshan Fort came, and the number of soldiers and civilians who arrived was even greater than before.

And in the end, the team of the Castle Peak Pass Sacred Buildings Protection Association paced.

This time, the team was still led by Ms. Chen, and the team was a little bigger than the day before.

It can be seen that there are several unfamiliar faces in that team, these people look very old, wearing a pair of reading glasses, well-dressed, and looking very cultivated.

This Ms. Chen has a high-spirited temperament and a bad look, and after the team stopped, several old scholars took the lead in stepping forward, and did not stop the movements of Li Er and the others, but just observed from the side.

"It's complicated."

"It's extremely difficult, and the degree of decay is even worse than expected."

"The repair may not be complete..."

The old scholars shook their heads one after another, came to Ms. Chen, and said in a low voice.

I don't know if it's intentional, the position where Ms. Chen is standing is not far from the third master, after hearing the comments of several experts, her eyes glanced at the third master, and then nodded, signaling a few people to continue.

Faced with the movement here, Li Er only raised his eyelids and stopped paying attention.

At this moment, I only saw Li second-hand holding a needle pen, standing in front of rows of disassembled wooden components, which were arranged neatly according to levels and classifications.

Li Er walked aside, he raised his hand, and the brushstrokes kept falling...

"It's marking."

"The components of the 'Win One' are so complex that many restorers use this method to record information about each component."

Beside Ms. Chen, an old pedant looked at him, not too concerned in his expression, he only nodded and explained.

"I thought that Li Er's restorer had some amazing skills, but it turned out to be just a mass product." Ms. Chen scoffed, then responded.

After all the components were marked, several masters resisted the timber that had been reserved for the 'Shengyi Ichi' two hundred years ago, and these old timbers were the same wood left over from the construction of the 'Shengyi', so that it is today.

Li Er walked to the wood, holding a special tool in his hand, his eyes were slightly condensed, a cold light appeared, and his hand was up and down.

The old timber was opened, and the sheets and stalls were formed.

Li Er's actions were seen by the craftsmen and masters who knew how to do it, and the old scholars were stunned in their eyes, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

"This hand, is the technique very high?"

Ms. Chen frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

These old scholars are experts specially invited by her, some understand mortise and tenon joints, some understand wood carving, some understand dougong, and even some have studied the top of the chicken coop. Inviting these people to come, she naturally did not want to guide Li Er, but to correct mistakes, or find faults, and record them.

"Hmm..."

Among the old scholars, the eldest one pondered for a while, and then said with some hesitation: "The skill of the restorer is okay, but..."

"This belongs to the martial arts... The swordsmanship of the warrior seems to be good..."

As his voice fell, the atmosphere became a little subtle and strange.

Restorers who specialize in restoration techniques often don't put too much energy into martial arts, and how many can do it like this?

"Hmm."

"It's just grandstanding."

Ms. Chen coughed dryly and nodded with a straight face.

During the conversation, Li Er made a new move, he sat on a bench, and in front of him was a long wooden table.

Spread out a roll of tool bags, there are planers, saws, rulers of all sizes...

Li Er's fingertips swiped over the tools one by one, making a crisp sound.

At the same time, in the team of the Conservancy Society, an old man with a beard looked intently.

"This is to make mortise and tenon, right?"

"Lao Wang, you can look carefully, this is your specialty."

As soon as Li Ergang picked up a tool, there was an immediate sound in their crowd.

The mortise and tenon joint is the foundation of the foundation of traditional architecture, and it is the ancient culture and wisdom of China.

It adopts the combination of different concave and convex parts, so that a building can be more flexible without nails and irons.

In Lee's second-hand, sawdust fell.

A pair of eyes widened and looked at Li Er's hand.

His speed was as neat as before, and at this moment, Li Er's whole temperament not only had the focus of a traditional craftsman, but also the chic and decisive spirit of a swordsman.

Different types of saws and planers appeared in Li Er's hands one after another...

'Jingle Bell...'

The sound of banging and sawing is like a beautiful note...

As time passed, the bearded old man's expression gradually became solemn, and soon, the old man changed from solemn to amazing...

Then it became an admiration!

"Amazing, amazing!"

Soon, Lao Wang slapped his thigh and shouted loudly.

He stretched out his thick arms, his hands trembled a little with excitement, and his expression was obsessed: "It's so beautiful, it's too accurate, it's amazing!" ”

The old man used three 'too' words in a row to describe his mood.

"Every knife is just right, this Li Er Restorer's control of strength can be said to be a god."

"The understanding of mortise and tenon joints, the design of mortise and tenon details, I ask myself that I am far from comparable!"

"Face to face mortise and tenon, point to point mortise and tenon, long and short tenon, supporting corner tenon, shoulder tenon..."

Every time the mortise and tenon joint in Li's second hand was completed, the mortise and tenon joint expert surnamed Wang screamed like a child.

"Textbook rendition!"

I only heard Lao Wang say excitedly.

In the sacred building protection team, several old scholars looked at Lao Wang's reaction, and their expressions changed.

This old fellow is naturally too familiar with them, he is an expert in mortise and tenon structure, and he has studied this aspect for more than fifty years, but at this time, he was excited by the actions of a young man to become like this, which shows how amazing Li Er's behavior is at the moment.

The leader of the team, Ms. Chen, turned a little dark.

She didn't invite these old scholars and experts to come to hear praise, she asked this group of people to find fault!

"Humph!"

Her eyes swept over the excited Lao Wang, and Ms. Chen gave up her plan to let him find fault, only snorted coldly, thinking that there were also wood carving experts, mural experts, and stage researchers...

The third master, who was sitting quietly, didn't seem to react, but his ears moved imperceptibly, and he listened to Lao Wang's words word for word.

The fix continues...
