One of the most striking features of this world, or at least the hotels of this place, is that no matter how shabby, garbage, or scummy the façade is, there will be a very, very large backyard.

Maple Grove Lodge is no exception.

The group of people at the temple lived in one of the courtyards in the backyard.

In the morning, after breakfast, Fang Tian strolled over.

Ophelia and the others were waiting at the gate of the courtyard, not to mention the etiquette of the meeting, and when they walked towards the courtyard after the ceremony, Fang Cai smiled and said, "Miss Karin, hello." ”

This time, the young pastor also came along.

Fang Tian specially greeted her, Karin was slightly surprised, but at the same time, she was also very happy and said: "Lord Fang Tian, hello!"

Fang Tian smiled heartily: "What is your name, do you see how big I am now?" Miss Karin, I really hope that you still call me the same as before." ”

What Fang Tian said was indeed sincere, whether it was the priest of the Temple of the Goddess of Life, or the girl who had rescued her with his own hands, he had a good impression.

But Fang Tian also knew that this didn't seem very possible.

Although the temple is a temple of gods, it is located on the territory of mortals, in other words, although the people in the temple follow the path of gods, they are still mortals in the end.

If you are a mortal, you have to consider all kinds of things in the mortal world, even if you don't think about it much.

Sure enough, Karin didn't answer the other party's words, just pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

For the brief interaction between the two, the rest of the temple just watched and did not interject.

A few steps away, and when the two sides sat down at the stone table on the side of the courtyard, Fang Tian spoke first and said to Ophelia: "Elder Ophelia." I'm here today to ask, what are your requirements for the location of the temple?"

As he spoke, Fang Tian flicked his hand lightly.

Almost immediately, on the edge of the two sides, that is, in the center of the courtyard, a sand table that occupies about two-thirds of the size of the open space of the courtyard appeared in front of everyone.

The sand table originated from military acts.

In a past life. It is said that it was first pioneered by the big boss Qin Shi Huang, and in the process of bulldozing the Six Kingdoms, it was piled up with sand and soil to simulate the landscape and topography of the Six Kingdoms.

This is extremely helpful for army marches, you know. A long military operation is inevitable in the process. Well. The "trekking" here is not a description, but a reality.

In later generations, some fucking military commanders walked and walked with a large army, and were stopped by the mountain and blocked by the water halfway through. I don't know how many, it's either because there are no conditions, or there are conditions, but I don't know how to arrange the sand table.

When Fang Tian was in his previous life. In some time-traveling novels I have read, it is said that the protagonist traveled to the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty and laid out a sand table in the army, which made the military boss sigh and admire, "This artifact is also!", "This son is really a heaven and a man!".

Is it possible?

It's possible!

In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there are many useful things that have been lost and have not been popularized, and this is still caused by the damn "primitive civilization".

During the reign of His Excellency Qin Shi Huang, in addition to the sand table, there were many strange inventions, which made Qin Shi Huang firmly in the list of "possible time-travelers in history".

Originally, we were all wearing hula and dancing hula together, and one day, you suddenly put on high heels and danced ballroom dances, and you said that you didn't cross over, - who believes?

Sand table, "concrete and micro".

That is, the real landscape, topography, architecture, etc., are reduced several times and presented on a tabletop, a hall, or in this case, in a courtyard.

So that people can see it at a glance, clearly and clearly at a glance.

This thing, in fact, was simulated by Sharjah when he introduced the source of the Karado River to Fang Tian before, and it also made Fang Tian amazed, but it was probably just a temporary handy thing for Sharjah, and it was not really the concept of sand table.

Later, at Eric and the others, and at this time, in the surprised and ecstatic eyes of everyone in the temple, Fang Tian could basically determine that in this world, the sand table should be his first initiative.

In this small courtyard, at this time, the part that is used as a sand table, the mountains are undulating, the water is rippling, and even several large buildings under construction are also standing in it, as for the three cities and twenty-eight towns, it is even more conspicuous.

Anyone who looks at it will have a clear understanding of the jurisdiction of Yanhuang City.

In this sand table, the earth is the real earth, the real mountain of the mountain (made of burning concrete, not really it is also a simulation), and the water is also real water.

The sand table is slightly on the side against the direction of Red Rock Town, which is framed by Fang Tian with a shallow stream-like box, which is the main urban area in the future.

Ophelia stood up and walked over to the sandbox to take a closer look.

That mage, whom Fang Tian knew his name as Fro last night, tried his best to calm down in the process of Fang Tian's hands forming a sand table, but his eyes were still unable to hide the palpitations, and at this time, he also followed Ophelia and walked to the sand table.

The rest of the temple, especially Karin, Little Ivy and a group of more than a dozen little girls, also hugged them with surprise.

Although there was no commotion, the way they were piled together to push and push made Fang Tian involuntarily match them with a commotion in his heart.

"Fang Tian City Lord, where can I use this terrain as the site of my temple?" After carefully looking at it for a long time, Ophelia turned around slightly and asked Fang Tian.

"Elder, please feel free. On this terrain, all the blank places at the moment, regardless of the plains and mountains, as long as it is the place you like, can be the site of the temple. Fang Tian said with a smile.

For Fang Tian, saying this was just ordinary. It really doesn't matter where the temple is located.

But for the temple, this promise is really heavy. Hearing Fang Tian's words, Ophelia solemnly bowed to Fang Tian, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table, Fang Tian said, "Fang Tian City Lord, is this place good?"

Of course, Fang Tian had no dissenting intentions.

It was about a hundred miles south of Redstone Town, but it was located right in the middle of Redstone Town and the Wizards Guild, at a slight angle.

And after the location is determined, the temple is also very neat, at the moment. That is, invite Fang Tian to go together.

Walking.

More than 100 miles, for people in this world, the true heart is about the same as the ten miles in the previous life, and for those who have a little cultivation, it is only equivalent to one mile of land in the previous life.

It only took about a magic spell for the group to reach the place they had demarcated.

It is generally a small plain, but there are mountains on the east side and water on the west side, but it is more north-south. It's pretty smooth.

When Ophelia chose the site before, the terrain must have been taken into account, and Yi Fang Tian didn't ask again if he wanted to change the terrain of this place, so at this time. Just accompanied Ophelia and the others to check around.

This view is a noon.

Meantime. About the architecture of the temple. Of course, it was also a topic that had to be discussed, but what surprised Fang Tian was that in terms of the temple, they planned to build the temple with their own hands.

And this "they", specifically, is an old man. A mage, several cultivators with varying martial arts and magic, and a dozen or so little girls.

"You guys?" Fang Tian really asked with curiosity.

"And God said, 'My temple. and your temple, every earth and stone, be built by your own hands. Ophelia said to Fang Tian.

This sentence, Fang Tian still only listened to it as a sentence at that time.

But in the following days, for Fang Tian, this sentence was not just a sentence, but rose to a certain height.

During the construction of the temple, the mage and the cultivators were the main force, and Ophelia and the little girls were not idle, responsible for weeding, leveling the ground, and also responsible for reclamation.

On that day they pitched a simple tent and stationed it there.

They do it without the sun rising, and the sun has set and it does not rest.

The main material of the building is a huge stone block, which is taken from the nearby mountains. The mage Flo is responsible for opening the stones, the magicians are responsible for dividing and polishing the stones, and the warriors are responsible for carrying the stones to the place where the temple is built.

And the little girls such as Karin and little Ivy are a little clumsy but extremely serious under the leadership of Elder Ophelia, and they are a little clumsy but extremely serious in organizing the terrain little by little, removing weeds and trees one by one, and cultivating the fields one by one.

Little Ivy, this is only nine years old, well, this year should be ten years old, this little girl is like other little girls of the same age, weeding, digging trees, and lifting smaller chisels again and again, and cultivating the ground.

At this time, it is the end of May, and it is about to enter June, in this place, according to the division of the previous life, summer has already come, and there is more water vapor fumigation, except for the morning and evening, it is still cool, and the rest of the time, it has been completely warmed up.

Moreover, their work density is also quite large, and the working time in a day is quite long.

According to the time of the previous life, there are at least thirteen or fourteen hours of work in a day.

In the morning, when the morning dawn came, about four o'clock in the previous life, they got up, and after washing themselves in the clear stream, they began to work, and worked for four hours, until about eight o'clock, gathered together, and began to recite in the morning.

Morning recitation time, about an hour. Some of them will only have half an hour to prepare breakfast.

An hour later, it was breakfast.

After breakfast, there was another labor, this time, until the evening, almost without rest, for about eight or nine hours.

Then dinner.

After dinner, continue to work for an hour or two until it gets dark.

Then it is evening recitation, or meditation, or quiet walking, or exercise.

After that, you go to sleep.

As the days passed like this, none of those little girls complained bitterly, in fact, they were tired, but when they said this, they were happy, satisfied, and encouraged themselves and others.

In just seven or eight days, Fang Tian felt that in these little girls, there was a different temperament sprouting.

It is like a seed, in the spring breeze, little by little, quite difficult but quite optimistic, quite firm, in the squeezing of the soil, but also in the support of the soil, sprouting, and then breaking through the soil.

Not only those little girls, but even Ophelia and the mage, as well as those cultivators, also added joy little by little in peace.

Observing this change, Fang Tian sighed inexplicably in his heart.

"Let my temple, and your temple, every earth and every stone, be built by your own hands. ”

This is not only the temple of the earth, but also the temple of their hearts, and this reclaimed is not only the field of the earth, but also the field of their own hearts.

Fang Tian thought so. (To be continued......)
