Chapter 388: I Don't Know the Long Years in the Mountains (2)
The first update arrives, and the three watches are guaranteed today!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Under the long-term snow cover, the soil has become a hard frozen layer to a very thick extent, and it is impossible to even dig with ordinary tools, let alone find the clay soil that burns bricks.
Lin Luoran walked through the snow-covered mountain forest, and his exposed skin had been tanned a honey color slightly lighter than wheat. Her whole person looked very much like a sturdy huntress in the mountains and forests at this time, and she was already far away from the fairy-like female cultivator.
More precisely, a female architect?
Lin Luoran pouted, and he is also a chef and garden designer.
With a slight leap, she jumped onto a jutting rock, the snow-covered surface of which was slippery. Lin Luoran looked at the rock, found a point of focus and pushed it aside, and really found a slightly moist soil under the rock. This trick was tried and tested when I was a child, but I didn't expect it to be used here, and it was quite a bit of a bypass.
There is a small stream behind Lijia Village, the water is almost dry in winter, Lin Luoran once touched the crabs, it looks like pebbles stained with a layer of dry moss, after breaking it open, there will be moist mud and blisters underneath, and the crabs hide in it.
Rocks can also hold water and resist low temperatures, in the same way.
Lin Luoran took soil under the rocks and began to burn bricks.
In ancient times, it was often said that if you want to fire a blue brick and a large tile house, you don't want to add cyan pigment. In order to get green bricks, you need to add coal to the kiln after firing, and after watering, the water vapor reacts with the high-temperature charcoal in the kiln, and finally the red high-order iron oxide ferric oxide is gradually reduced to blue-gray low-order iron oxide ferrous oxide, so as to make green bricks.
Lin Luoran neither studied science nor worked in a kiln factory back then, so there is no way to know such a simple truth, but fortunately, as a cultivator in the Dan period, fire spiritual power is not a problem at all, and there is a kiln for burning bricks dug near the waterfall, after she tried it many times, she succeeded by chance, and it can be regarded as a wonderful brick?
Of course, this was already two months after she went up the mountain.
Of course, there is no cement in this place, and there is no saying about cement in ancient houses, but Lin Luoran found that the sap of the gum tree and a kind of knotweed powder were broken, and with the ground rice flour, the adhesion was no worse than cement. Most importantly, the knotweed, which grows under the gum tree, neutralizes the disadvantage of the gum sap melting when heated.
The knotweed, which had been crushed under the snow and dried up into dead grass, was still reminded by the white-haired bear.
After Lin Luoran fired a huge number of green bricks, he finally started building houses.
Considering the aesthetics, she abandoned the idea of repairing the sandwich wall and finally decided to make the house a masonry structure one-third of the way off the ground, with carved wood decorations on it. As for heating, it depends on geothermal heat.
The bluestone paved on the ground is also taken by hollowing out a certain mountain wall, and building a house is so powerful, it is no longer a matter of a white-haired bear as a demon beast, Lin Luoran often sees sneaky shadows swaying at night, according to what the white-haired bear said, there are more and more high-level demon beasts exploring its territory at night.
It means that whether it is for the sake of face or lining, the commotion caused by Lin Luoran, if the house built does not match this movement, the white-haired bear's face will be lost - then its transaction with Lin Luoran will naturally be nullified.
It's just that above this mountain, the relationship between high-level demon beasts doesn't seem to be as discordant as in the demon beast forest? Whether it was because of the high level demon beast's high spiritual intelligence, Lin Luoran had no way to confirm.
She often runs through the forest in order to build a house, under the mountains, in order to survive the long winter, the lack of food has made many monsters kill red eyes. The forest became even more dangerous, and herbivorous monsters such as the Flame Rabbit and the Jumping Sheep, who had no rations, were starved to the bone, and had to stay in their burrows for long periods of time to reduce their consumption. Those high-level demon beasts that hunted them couldn't find the rabbit hole buried in the snow, and while they were so hungry that their claws and feet were weak, when they saw a living creature like Lin Luoran, they rushed over regardless of life or death, which often made Lin Luoran tired to deal with it.
It is precisely because the food chains are interlocking that they are uncomfortable, and it also makes Lin Luoran feel equally uncomfortable.
When he happened to see the corpses of starved demon beasts in the depths of the snow, although he usually hated their thirst for killing, Lin Luoran would also look forward to it when he stood silently, when would the long winter of the demon beast forest pass?
Even if you look at it in half a year, there are at least three months, right?
Lin Luoran resigned himself to dragging a tree similar to agarwood back, the house next to the waterfall, the blue brick wall has been completed, in order to match the height of the white-haired bear, these blue brick walls as the root of the wall are almost above Lin Luoran's head. On top of the green bricks, Lin Luoran will carve with wood, that is, the walls, and the movable wooden windows when pushed open, and the house must be at least seven or eight meters high.
In the past three months, in addition to building a huge mansion, she also looked for some not-so-tall, characteristic tree species and strange roots in the demon beast forest from time to time to pave the way for decorating the house.
One day, when Lin Luoran was polishing Tie Nanmu with spiritual power, she suddenly tragically thought that if she wanted to build a house alone, in addition to being a garden designer, wouldn't she have to do it as furniture?
Then you want to get the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month?
Lin Luoran thought more than once that she would simply try to climb the mountain, but as soon as she remembered the low beast roar a few months ago, she felt that she was not sure in her heart.
Lin Luoran knew that if she couldn't overcome this obstacle, not only would she be subject to the white-haired bear, but she would also cause cracks in the Dao heart because of fear.
For a long time, this is the demon of cultivation.
She threw the whole tree on the ground, and on the other side, there were stacked beams of polished ironwood.
Agarwood is used to carve windows, right?
Lin Luoran has a full plan for the whole house, even the green bricks are burned, and she is not afraid of making black tiles.
Although it was due to the strength of the eighth-order demon beast and the fact that he was not sure to climb over the mountains independently, Lin Luoran had only stayed on this halfway of the mountain and delayed for so long, but looking at a building complex from scratch, showing its outline little by little, this sense of satisfaction was no less than studying a formation.
This is all a field that Lin Luoran did not have contact with at all when she was an ordinary person in the past, she sighed at the convenience of cultivation, and became more and more reverie, if one day she can really seek immortality, there are mysteries in this world, and she can have enough time to calm down and ponder, how happy and unspeakable is that kind of day?
The night came as scheduled, and the white-haired bear was a little reluctant to visit Lin Luoran's temporary cave.
It's spacious and warm inside, and it's really comfortable, but this little girl of the human race has been getting bolder recently, and she actually said that the snow is cold outside, and if you want to drink steaming fish soup, you have to come to her cave?
The white-haired bear was not very happy, didn't the fish he caught in the cold pool, how could it sound like she was giving alms?
The firewood makes a crackling sound, which is the moisture in the firewood, and it will only make a cracking sound when it burns. The smoke from the burning of the wet wood was introduced into the interior of the mountain wall by a bamboo tube, and after winding in countless places, it would exit from the cliff where the demon beasts rarely visited, this human girl was very cautious, even in its territory, was it afraid that other demon beasts would find her abode?
The white-haired bear couldn't help but want to tell Lin Luoran several times that the high-level demon beasts gradually opened up their spiritual intelligence, even if they couldn't speak, they knew that killing beasts and taking pills was not the right way, they could absorb the aura that filled the air - as for why they still hunted low-level demon beasts, this dead and silent demon beast forest, trapping them in it, and not fighting each other, they would really be silent to the point of going crazy.
A stone pot hangs high, and the fish soup is already simmering. On the other fire was a barbecue, and the flame rabbit was so thin that the white-haired bear felt that it could only be used as a tooth sacrifice.
Lin Luoran didn't greet it, she lowered her head, carved an ornament by the light of the fire, and her fingers flew around, sawdust and shavings fell all over the open space at her feet.
The white-haired bear drank the fish soup and said vaguely: "I can't figure out what you humans think, in order to climb this mountain, you are even willing to be a servant for the demon beast." ”
Lin Luoran didn't look up, and replied lightly: "Compared to it, isn't it even stranger to a demon beast that imitates humans everywhere?" ”
Whether it's learning cooking or asking Lin Luoran to build a house for it, isn't it all imitating human beings? Lin Luoran always felt indescribably weird.
The white-haired bear grabbed the meat and ate the hand, and after a short silence, he laughed loudly, laughing so much that his teeth and flesh were exposed, and he didn't look as stressful as usual.
"Who told you that Grandpa Xiong wants to be a man?"
Isn't it? Lin Luoran was stunned for a while.
The white-haired bear patted his paws, "Do you want to ask more than this, how can Grandpa Bear be sure to let you climb over the mountains?" ”
The movement in Lin Luoran's hand had stopped, and his eyes were staring at it without blinking.
