Chongning used tree branches and stones to make a simple stone shovel.

The ground here is very soft, and it is not too difficult to shovel.

They quickly dug up all the stone chains.

The main force of this excavation is the weirdo.

The monster has a large body and moves extremely fast, like a gopher with an engine installed.

The whole stone chain is placed on the ground, which is very spectacular.

Copper and iron chains are common.

Because metals such as copper and iron can be smelted, forged, and welded into chains.

However, stones do not work.

Chains made of stone may seem simple, but they are actually very troublesome.

This process is called live ring chain carving, also known as chain work.

This technique originates from the drilling technique of jade.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ring process appeared.

In the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the living ring chain carving of jade reached its peak.

The Tianhuang triptych carried by the last emperor Puyi is the living ring process.

It was carved into three seals from a rather large piece of Tianhuang.

The three seals are connected by chains, and the craftsmanship is superb!

When Pu Yi was kicked out of the palace, he chose the best among many treasures and hid the Tianhuang triptych in his underwear.

For more than 20 years, he has never left his body, which shows the preciousness of this treasure and the exquisite craftsmanship.

This kind of craftsmanship is occasionally seen on delicate jade.

But such a huge stone lock chain is still extremely rare.

The difficulty of live chain carving lies in taking its material and not leaving its body.

To put it simply, it has to take a whole piece of material from which to carve out the shape of a chain.

The size of the material determines the length of the chain.

This huge stone chain is at least five or six meters long.

In other words, when making carvings, the raw stone has to be more than six meters long!

The chain is made of the stone itself, which is cut with a sharpening knife with moderate rigidity and softness, and the excess stone is cut and hollowed out.

For each chain, the position of each loop must be arranged.

The chain is alive, the scrap is scrapped, and the people are wasted.

This kind of carving ring is extremely difficult.

When carving, there is no room for mistakes, and they must be interlocked.

If you lose a circle and a ring, you will lose all your efforts.

Often, a chain can take months.

The whole manufacturing process is permeated with the painstaking efforts of the craftsmen.

It is rare to make a live ring chain of a whole large stone!

They rested for a while and then went back to work.

It took about two or three hours to dig out all the live ring stone chains under the five jujube trees.

One end of the stone chain is attached to the root of the tree, and the other end is connected to the middle of the round platform.

On the hillside, five huge stone chains lay on the ground like giant serpents.

Duan Jingzhi asked, "What do you do next?" ”

Chongning had a guess in his heart, he pulled up one of them, and then pressed harder clockwise, as if he was grinding.

I could only hear the clattering sound coming from the round platform.

The sound was dull, like the movement of gears.

Duan Jingzhi said happily: "This chain can open the round platform!" ”

Five stone chains, which are supposed to connect cardinals somewhere.

According to Chongning's idea, turn it hard clockwise to open the round platform.

When the strange man saw the movement, he also applauded.

The three men pulled up the stone chains and began to twist them vigorously.

Click, click!

After a few muffled sounds, there was no movement.

The stone chains are not light, and the cardinal in the center is even heavier.

The three of them worked together, but it didn't work.

The strength is so bad that you can't unscrew the round table at all.

Chongning panted, sat on the ground, and threw down the stone chains.

"No, no, it's too heavy!"

This round platform is too heavy, and the strength of three people can't reach it at all.

Duan Jingzhi said in frustration: "Finally, I found a way, but I couldn't open it." ”

Chongning is also unwilling, but what can be done?

Their strength is not great.

If You Lanfeng and the others are here, there is still some hope.

At this moment, with the three of them, there is no drama directly.

Duan Jingzhi sighed lowly, "It would be nice if Ying Long was here." ”

Chongning smiled bitterly and did not speak.

Yinglong robot, that is infinitely powerful, comparable to a calf grinding!

Chongning's head flashed and looked at the strange man.

"Are there any animals with great strength in this valley? Like, cows, horses, whatever? ”

This valley is a private garden of exotic flowers and animals.

Mountain brocade chicken, they have seen it.

There are also rabbits, foxes and other small beasts.

I don't know, there are no large animals in it.

Duan Jingzhi immediately understood what he meant, and gestured to the strange man.

The weirdo should have understood, he blinked with big eyes, and suddenly slapped his head.

Then he jumped and plunged into the bushes.

Chongning watched the strange man go away and said, "Does he understand?" ”

Duan Jingzhi smiled, "He's very smart, he must have understood, let's just wait." ”

The two of them were back to back, taking a short break.

Just now, I was digging the soil again, and I was pulling the chains, and I was very tired.

The two of them fell asleep in a daze.

After a while, a low whistle appeared.

Chongning was alert and hurriedly got up.

Duan Jingzhi also opened her eyes and was stunned by the scene in front of her.

I saw that the strange man rode a four-legged animal, swaggering, and walked over.

The animal was strange, they had never seen it before.

It has a very distinctive appearance, it looks like a deer, a sheep, a donkey, and a cow.

Duan Jingzhi tilted her head sideways and looked at it carefully for a while, but she didn't recognize what kind of animal this was.

Chongning looked at it, his eyes lit up, and he said, "These are the four opposites!" ”

Duan Jingzhi raised her eyebrows, "Four are not like? Elk? It's not like that! ”

Chongning shook his head and said, "It's the four inconsequential, the legendary Jiang Ziya's mount." ”

Duan Jingzhi was taken aback and said, "Divine beast, four are not alike? ”

Legend has it that Jiang Ziya was in the battle of the gods, and his mount was the four inconsequential.

Chongning said: "The four are not in phase, in fact, it is the serow, also called the Ming Mane Sheep. ”

The horns of the serow are like a deer and not a deer, the hooves are like a cow and not a cow, the head is like a sheep and not a sheep, and the tail is like a donkey and not a donkey.

It belongs to the bovine family and is a typical forest-dwelling mammal, with great strength and should not be underestimated.

The strange man rode on it, smug and very arrogant.

Duan Jingzhi said with a smile: "You are so powerful, you can actually tame such a divine beast!" ”

The strange man raised his head, very proud.

Chongning also admires this serow's temperament, but it is very intense.

Riding a serow is no less difficult than taming a fiery horse.

The weirdo can clean up the serow in a proper manner, that's a real skill.

Chongning said: "We used a mountaineering rope to put it around the serow's neck, and then drove it to pull the stone chain. ”

"With the power of the serow, we will definitely be able to pull the disc apart."

Duan Jingzhi briefly explained the meaning of Chongning.

The weirdo nodded and jumped off.

He patted the serow's head a few times and whispered in his ear.
