"I really didn't expect that Liu Zhixin would comprehend the mystery of architectural art in more detail on the basis of the mystery of architecture!"

Xiao Chun sincerely admired.

However, Silver Shadow was a little regretful: "It's a pity that he died too early, and he dedicated his life to this fortress!"

Xia Xu said: "This is his morality, no one can stop it, otherwise this moving battle fortress will not become like this!"

"In the future, we will create an architecture academy, train more architects, and build more battle fortresses, such fortresses can be taken to the extraterrestrial battlefield to fight!"

Xia Xu said, he had already taken down the drawing from the wall, put it on the desk and looked at it, and at the same time said: "Now this God of War Fort has only been built one-tenth of the scale! There are still 90 percent of it that has not been completed!

"Ahh

Xia Xu nodded and said, "Architectural art is a three-dimensional art form.

It is a comprehensive art formed by the consideration and treatment of the organization, the shape, plane layout, façade form, internal and external space organization, and structural modeling, that is, the composition, proportion, scale, color, texture and sense of space of the building, as well as the decoration, painting, carving, pattern, garden, furniture and furnishings of the building!"

"It turns out that this is the mystery of architectural art! No wonder Liu Zhixin's advance speed is so fast! He hasn't eaten a single demon pill, he is already in the overlord realm!"

Xia Xu looked at the drawings and continued: "Well, before the birth of human beings, everything lived in nature.

When humans appeared, they built shelters and dug caves for shelter, which became the first structures in human history.

After tens of thousands of years of development and progress, human beings' requirements for architecture have far exceeded the initial needs.

The categories of architectural art are complex and varied. From the perspective of use, there are residential buildings, production buildings, cultural buildings, garden buildings, monumental buildings, mausoleum buildings, religious buildings, etc.; from the use of building materials to classify, there are wooden buildings, masonry buildings, reinforced concrete buildings, steel and wood buildings, etc.; from the national style, there are the style of the Eastern Sui Kingdom, the style of the Longqi Kingdom, the style of the Liuye Kingdom, and the style of the three major empires in the south!

In terms of the style of the times, it can be divided into ancient style, dragon style, demon style, demon style, god style, etc.!"

Xiao Chun couldn't help nodding: "It seems that Liu Zhixin's style is a strong style of the Eastern Sui Kingdom!

Xia Xu appreciated Xiaochun's words, after Liu Zhixin graduated from the Eastern Sui State Architect College, he was inspired to study the architecture of the Eastern Sui Kingdom!

That's why he attained enlightenment!

"The image of architectural art has a special function of reflecting social life, spiritual outlook and economic foundation.

The architectural art of the past dynasties is closely related to the historical era, geographical climate, national culture and living customs, and is also restricted by materials, structures and construction techniques.

Due to cultural differences, there are also great differences in the architecture of the human race and other races in terms of materials, spatial layout, and architectural development.

Most of the main buildings handed down by other races are temples dedicated to gods, such as demon temples, dark buildings, and demon god churches.

And most of the human race are palace buildings, that is, places for the living monarchs of the world to live. ”

Xue Liu listened and nodded.

"It turns out that it is not easy to comprehend a mystery! But we have the teachings of the Lord, and I believe that we can also understand it!"

Xia Xu smiled, as the God of Killing War, he rarely showed a sincere smile!

"Let's look at this again, you all need to know and be familiar with it, because you will also control the mobile fortress in the future, and the mobile fortress will build more!

Architectural art in the broad sense, as the art of life, is fundamentally different from literature and art, while architectural art in the narrow sense, that is, at the level of formal beauty, has the same commonality with literature and art. ！”

"What is architectural art in a broad sense?" asked Xiao Chun without understanding.

Xia Xu said: "Architectural art is the essential attribute and essential feature of architecture that is different from general technical engineering and structures!"

Its artistry lies in the comprehensiveness, image and diversity, as well as the characteristics of the profession, the design of the creation and the style of the form, and is implemented in the whole process of the overall operation of the function application, the technical rationality and the image of the beauty.

If so, architectural art in a broad sense is the sum of all architectural resources, architectural art = architecture, architecture = architectural art, the two are synonymous, the two words can be used and interchanged, and the word "art" can be omitted or retained.

In other words, architectural art is an all-round and full-dimensional holographic concept, and it is "full-realm architectural art".

Here, function, technology and art are three: only function, which is called functionalism, only technology, which is called structuralism, only superficial work on visual modeling, "visual volume performance", called formalism or "aestheticism", and only the organic and perfect combination of the three is a complete architectural art and architecture. The policy of architectural work and the principles of architectural design are "applicable, economical and beautiful". ”

Xiao Chun listened thoughtfully!

"What is the art of architecture in the narrow sense?" asked Yinying, too.

Xia Xu smiled slightly: "Architectural art in the narrow sense refers to the beautiful image of the building, that is, the beauty of form, volume modeling, space combination, composition, façade form and architectural expression!"

At this level, it is possible to leave the functional and technical content out of it for the time being.

In other words, architectural art in a broad sense covers the "hardware" of function and technology and the "software" of image modeling, while architectural art in the narrow sense only refers to the "software" of image modeling, that is, design skills, techniques and language.

These should be said to be two meanings and definitions of architectural art, broad and narrow. The art of architecture is the art of engineering, the applied art, and the art of living. ”

"I see!" Silver Shadow laughed as well.

"I feel that I have a preliminary understanding of the meaning of architecture!" Xue Liu said solemnly.

"Then tell me what you have to understand!" Xia Xu said.

"Architecture is both material and spiritual, with a duality.

This is the significant difference between architecture and other mysteries!

Architecture is the product of the combination of practicality and aesthetics. In other art forms, the pursuit of beauty can be the sole or primary purpose, but architecture must be linked to practicality. On the one hand, architecture has the function of material use, living, working or public interaction, etc.: on the other hand, it must satisfy people's desire for beauty and give people a beautiful image. Therefore, architecture is not purely material, it must infect people with the image of beauty. It is not a purely spiritual product, it has a direct utilitarian and practical purpose. ”

Xia Xu nodded appreciatively: "Xue Liu, you do have your own comprehension and cognition of the mysteries of architecture, but I have to add to you, it seems that you should be the first to step into this realm!"

Xue Liu said solemnly: "Please teach the Lord!"

Xia Xu said loudly: "The spiritual attributes of architecture are hierarchical, and it is based on materiality.

The lowest level: closely related to material functions, embodied in a sense of security and comfort.

Intermediate level: the emphasis is on "pleasing to the eye", which is reflected in the image of beauty, which is generally called beautiful.

The highest level: the emphasis is on "appreciation", which requires the creation of a certain emotional atmosphere, showing a tendentious taste, full of expression and appeal, in order to edify and shock people's hearts.

If you can understand these three levels, then you have really entered this field!

Any kind of building has its own architectural image.

This is to embody architecture through various spaces, structures, and shapes.

Throughout the ages, many excellent architects have skillfully used space, shape, line, color, texture, light and shadow and other means of expression to create many beautiful architectural images and give people spiritual enjoyment.

Architecture is expressive art. It does not require a description of the plot of events and the personalities of the characters, but by creating a certain emotional atmosphere that stimulates the corresponding emotions of the appreciator. The emotional form it represents is abstract.

Architecture is a symbol of social civilization in a historical period and a microcosm of social life at that time!

Architecture is closely related to human life, and its artistic expression has a profound correspondence with human culture.

People in different cultural circles will have different architectural concepts, different architectural art techniques and tastes, and different regions, nationalities, classes, and different eras, architectural works of art will have different appearances, reflecting profound cultural connotations. Outstanding works of architectural art are the most distinctive, profound and long-lasting embodiment of culture!

The first is the national and regional nature of the building. Different nationalities have different architectural forms, and different regions have different regional differences in architectural forms due to different climate, geography, cultural and other conditions;

The second is the historical and contemporary nature of the building. The architectural forms of different historical periods are quite different!"

Xue Liu listened, and a look of surprise slowly appeared on his face!

"Lord, I seem to understand! Please let me control this command room, I think I can control the mobile fortress of Fort Mar!"

Xia Xu nodded, motioned for Xue Liu to come over, came to the console, and began to control the entire God of War Castle!

Sure enough, in the rumbling sound, the Fort of War actually floated three feet above the ground!

"Move directly towards the Middle Wilderness City, and send carrier pigeons to let everyone in the other cities in the Wasteland Territory move closer to my God of War Castle, and in the future, only the two cities of the God of War Castle and the Middle Wilderness City will remain in the Barren Territory, and the others will become empty cities!" Xia Xu issued an order directly to the officers and generals outside through the console!

More than a dozen carrier pigeons immediately took to the air and flew to the city of the future and other cities to deliver orders!

"Yin'er Xiaochun, you two will look at these drawings again. Xia Xu took the two women around the huge command room wall to observe one by one.

"These are the blueprints for the transformation and expansion of the God of War Castle in the future, and the strengthening of the God of War Castle is now only three feet above the ground, and it cannot reach the level of the Flying Castle, you also have to observe and learn, in the past few days of promotion, the God of War Castle will move to the Middle Wilderness City by itself, you have nothing to do, just feel and learn in this command room!" Xia Xu said earnestly.

"Yes, Lord!"

"Got it, Lord!"

The two girls were extremely happy.

After all, they are women, and it is also a happy thing to be able to fight without leading troops!

What's more, the two daughters now belong to Xia Xu wholeheartedly, and they can't wait to leave offspring for Xia Xu as soon as possible!

Because both of them know that their qualifications are completely inadequate compared to Xia Xu, Xia Xu will be a standing existence sooner or later, and these two women, even if they can continue the incense for Xia Xu, it is worth it!

......

Fort of War, all the way south, towards the Middle Wilderness City!

Along the way, there are soldiers and civilians such as the City of the Future and the City of Hope, carrying a large amount of supplies and food, and entering the Fort of War!

The large-scale God of War Fort was immediately filled with more than 100,000 people!

Take the Demon Pill, Advanced!

Feel the mystery, advance!

Cultivate the Rock Technique, Advanced!

Everyone who survived in the Fort of War has begun to advance!

At this point, these soldiers and civilians who follow Xia Xu, their willpower has been affected and has become very strong!

Therefore, except for a very few people who took the demon pill and went crazy, there were only a few dozen, and the others were all advanced!

The large number of demon pills that have been seized are fully playing their role at this moment!

The Demon Pill is the energy crystallization cultivated by demon beasts, and some will evolve into demon souls and the like!

But also because the soul of the demon beast, wisdom, perception, and mood are weak, it may be very incomplete after turning into a human form, and those powerful divine beasts such as phoenixes, true dragons, and Kunpeng usually transform very late, and there are also some intelligent spirit beasts such as spirit foxes that transform relatively late, not that they can't transform into shapes, but because the transformation of the soul before it grows into a big form affects their final achievement, and because of this, most of the demon beasts remain demonic.

For example, the demon fox, proficient in the art of transfiguration, must be an illusion! Otherwise, it will never want to advance to the nine-tailed fairy fox, and because of their wisdom and talent, their minds are not pure, and their bloodline cannot reach the level of Kunpeng and other divine beasts!

Those who have reached the peak of the nine-tailed immortal fox must have a firm Dao heart, a strong bloodline, and a complete divine soul!

Different from the demon clan, the golden pill of human cultivation is the energy crystallization of cultivators, and the Yuan Infant is the soul infant in the infant state because of the combination of the divine soul and the energy crystal, and because of this, the Yuan Infant will stay in the Zhihai, Mud Pill Palace, and Shangdantian!

The demon is more different!

Their demon pill is actually similar to the golden pill of Taoist cultivation, but it is not the same, most of their cultivation needs to capture the soul and bloodline of demon beasts, spirit beasts or divine beasts and fuse with themselves, and obtain demon pills to assist their own cultivation!

In the end, they will also produce golden pills, infant transformations, etc., but their golden pills are definitely different from Dao cultivation golden pills, and they are also different from the energy crystals such as demon pills and demon cores of demon beasts!

They are not a system, but human monks are human monks, how can they be compared to demon beasts. The achievements of demon cultivators are very slim, and even if they have achievements, there will be many drawbacks, after all, who told them not to be human beings and to be demons!

There are also Yin cultivation and soul cultivation among the human race!

They usually absorb yin energy, and of course, some absorb soul fragments between heaven and earth.

Orthodox Yin Cultivation Soul Cultivation and Ghost Cultivation: Soul cultivation is the fusion of the three souls and seven spirits into one, detached from the physical body, absorbing vitality, that is, vitality, such as grass and trees, demon beasts and even human vitality, this kind of soul cultivation is also called spiritual cultivation and evil cultivation Spiritual cultivation will only absorb the essence of plants and trees, a part of vitality, and there are also human cultivation. Evil cultivators absorb everything, and of course, there are also human beings who can cultivate.

Ghost cultivators absorb yin qi, and they will also absorb souls, but only yin souls.

There is also corpse cultivation, the powerful monk's soul is completely preserved after the soul is extinguished, and it is kept in the extreme yin, and it is channeled after being washed away by the years.

At this time, the residual energy of the corpse and the corpse yin qi after assimilation will condense into the corpse pill, and the energy without assimilation will be expelled from the body and return to heaven and earth, so the realm after they wake up is usually very low.

Orthodox Yin cultivation, there is usually no energy crystallization, that is, things like golden pills, demon pills, and other pills, of course, they are usually called soul pills, soul cores, Soul crystals and the like, they usually don't have the Yuan Infant stage, except for the corpse repair, the corpse repair will have a corpse baby Of course, they can't be the same as the monk, maybe the corpse repair with the corpse baby and the monk's Yuan Infant are not the same thing at all, it will only infinitely compress the soul body energy, maybe because many authors don't work hard, so they are either fighting the five scum or villains, but the means are weird, and it will also make the enemy scramble!!

In this way, the function of the demon pill has improved most of the people in the God of War Castle!

Xia Xu also swallowed a lot of good-quality demon pills alive, he didn't do it to advance, but to nourish the soul!

Now Xia Xu's soul has been repaired by one-third!

Those powerful demon clan mysteries and demon pills of the overlord were enough to restore Xia Xu's divine soul to such an extent!

Not only did Xia Xu get a lot of benefits, but even everyone else had advanced!

Xue Liu is the fastest to advance, he is constantly taking very good quality demon pills, and his realm is now a realm overlord!

Xue Liu has not only made progress in the realm, after he obtained the crescent blade given by Xia Xu, he also comprehended the true essence of this scimitar, and he should soon be able to comprehend the mystery of this knife!

The crescent moon blade gave Xue Liu the perception that made Xue Liu directly create a trick by himself!

The end of the world!

Xue Liu also showed Xia Xu the power of this knife technique, and even Xia Xu praised Xue Liu's self-created move!

"In less than a year, your sword skills are unmatched in the Longchen Continent!"

This is Xia Xu's weight to Xue Liu!

This is Xia Xu's trust in Xue Liu!

This is Xue Liu's talent and talent!

Xue Liu, he is a natural swordsman!

Xue Liu, he is a natural killer!

Xue Liu, he will be Xia Xu's most loyal follower in his life!

Everything Xue Liu got now was given by Xia Xu!

Xue Liu's current status, ability, and exercises are all due to Xia Xu's gifts!

It's not about honor or money, it's faith!

This is Xue Liu's belief in Xia Xu!

Now Xue Liu is still in command of the shadow attack force, and the shadow attack force has been corrected, and the strength has been restored to three hundred, but more than half of them were damaged before!

According to the order issued by Xia Xu, the desolate lord and general of Zhenbei, Xue Liu was appointed as the second deputy general of the desolate territory!

In fact, Xue Liu's current strength has surpassed Wang Shengnan, but Xue Liu only commands the shadow attack troops, so he is only temporarily becoming the second deputy general!

And Xue Liu also has the title of concurrent, that is, the chief military instructor of the barren mountains!

Xue Liu's combat level and combat quality are currently recognized as the strongest except for Xia Xu!

That's why he has this honor to become the chief instructor!

All the military training in the barren mountains can come to ask and consult Xue Liu!

In addition, there is Silver Shadow, she has comprehended what is called mystery, although it is only touching the threshold, but it is enough for her to have a qualitative breakthrough in the realm!

Today's Silver Shadow is already a realm overlord, the same as Xue Liu!

Yinying's breakthrough is mainly due to Xia Xu taking her into a new field!

Then let the understanding of the mystery!

Silver Shadow is now training and leading the Desolate Knights, and her own strength is also very strong!

And then there's Xiao Chun, she's now the Venerable of the Three Realms!

For Xia Xu's guidance in the command room, Xiao Chun is also very yearning and longing for the mystery, and although she has an average physique, she is smart and smart, Xia Xu also assured Xiao Chun that within a year, Xiao Chun will definitely understand the mystery of the bow and arrow!

What an exhilarating thing this is!

And then there are fangs, as a demon hybrid, he can also devour the demon pill raw!

Fangs are now the overlords of the Second Realm, and they are the masters second only to Xia Xu in the God of War Castle!

And his Reaper team didn't have any casualties, because they were all controlling and protecting this mobile fortress, but now that Xia Xu is here and the fangs mission is completed, he has more time to develop the Reaper squad!

So Fangs recruited three more members, and the Grim Reaper squad has expanded to eighteen people!

The number of recruits is very small!

But in fact, the number of applicants is very large, more than 50!

But after some assessment, more than 30 people died, and the fangs have very high requirements for the difficulty of the assessment! The mortality rate is also very high!

Some of the others flinched, some gave up, and in the end only three people passed!

And these three people have to go through brutal training, and the mortality rate is even higher!

Many people said that Fang's requirements for the recruitment level assessment of the Reaper Squad were already much higher than the strictest assessment in the Longchen Continent!

Very few of the people who have a mortality rate of more than 90% will be in the assessment!

But this is enough to show how high Fang's requirements for the Grim Reaper team are, and how well he implements the tasks assigned by Xia Xu!

It also shows how terrifying the strength of anyone who enters the Death Squad!

After the screening of the fangs, and also got the distributed demon pill, the overall strength of the Reaper team has reached a new level!

Not counting the fangs, among the seventeen team members, there are five Second Realm Venerables and twelve First Realm Venerables!

Such a powerful team, no matter where it is placed, is almost invincible!

Because any Venerable person's ability and strength can be a general or a city lord!

This lineup, even Xue Liu and Yinying are greedy when they see it!

Xue Liu's shadow attack troops are just the Xuanren Realm!

Also as an assassination organization, the Grim Reaper is more powerful and terrifying than the shadow attack!
