Chapter 211 [The old man returns]
Lu Zhengde smiled wryly, and said: "It seems so, that's why I said, we were lucky to be able to escape. If the cultivator finds out, with his strength that can easily defeat Luo Xiafeng..."
The two remained silent for a long time.
Then Gu Gu told each other: "It's really dangerous, and I can't afford to provoke it. In the future, don't get too close to Yunzhong Mountain if you have nothing to do. Just stay here in Ninghe Fucheng."
...
"This method of burning glass is now passed on to you. After you go down the mountain, Aniu, you can use it to make a living, or you can sell it to decent people. It is also considered a meritorious deed to spread this method to the world. .”
Fang Chang took the registered disciples together, and was taking out the flat glass from the cooled kiln.
A Niu is not as heat-resistant as Fang Chang, and he needs tools to remove the solidified glass from the molten tin, and poke it lightly on the side just like his master.
"It's just that it is not allowed to be sold at a high price as a luxury, which is not beneficial to the world. This is like pottery and porcelain, a material suitable for the general public, and it loses its original intention to search for it."
After listening to this, Ah Niu wrote it down carefully and then nodded, while Fang Chang next to him continued to teach:
"In addition to the 'float' flat glass we are using now, blowpipes, molds, etc. can also be used to make various utensils, which can be used by ordinary people for daily use, which is very distinctive. As for its more functions, we need to People from all over the world come to dig together. Just removing the variegated color is a great science. If the color is removed and made into a flat plate, silver-plated and tin-plated, it can also be made into a good mirror..."
Fang Chang patiently narrated, and Ah Niu also listened carefully.
During this time, he has learned a lot from Fang Chang. When he was still in the body of a bull before his transformation, he was bulky and it was difficult for him to follow Fang Chang to receive instruction.
After the transformation, this problem no longer exists, and the new human body is very flexible and can help.
"Come on, Niu, come with me and transport these glasses over there."
According to A Niu's words, the master and the apprentice worked together to transport the glass to the vicinity of several halls and put it on the side of the steps
Then they walked back to the work shed, Fang Chang took the tools and said with a smile: "The biggest use of plate glass now is that it can be inlaid on the doors and windows, it is much brighter than the window lattice window paper, and it is strong and strong, windproof and rainproof, just need curtains Covering, there is not much cloth on the cliff for the time being."
"A Niu, are you familiar with the carpentry work I taught you? Use these and try to make a window according to the size." He handed the tools to Liu A Niu, pointed to the wood next to him, and asked him to practice his hands.
Hearing what Fang Chang said, Ah Niu hesitated for a while, then stepped forward:
"Good Master."
When the five main halls were being built, Fang Chang had already buried the window frames and door frames, but the doors and windows were not installed, but they were made now.
A Niu reworked the window once halfway through.
"The sizes are all in compliance, so let's try to install it." Fang Chang smiled, and then the two of them brought the window frame to the side of the glass: "The size of the glass is too large to fit. At this time, we have to Cut it."
"But glass is actually a very hard material. If you want to cut it in the mortal world, you need to use diamonds. But we don't have any at present, so..."
As he spoke, Fang Chang drew out the Lingquan sword behind him.
After measuring, he didn't use a ruler to measure, but directly slashed across the glass with a sharp blade, and the hard glass was silently separated under the blade.
A Niu hurried forward to hold it to prevent it from falling. He already knew that although this kind of thing was hard, it was very brittle and would break when it fell.
Bronze is too easy to rust, and Fang Chang currently has no zinc to make brass. With his current conditions, silver is easier to obtain than pure copper, so he simply uses silver to make these small parts.
The only flaw left is that Fang Chang didn't have enough lacquer trees on hand, and the window frames still had the natural color of wood. He wiped the cracks of the window with lime, and then together with A Niu, he nailed the window to the window frame of the main hall.
"It's really bright!" Ah Niu sighed, "I've also seen the windows in Huqiao Town. Even if it's a member's house, the windows are made of fine gauze, but they are far less clear and beautiful than Master's windows. If ordinary people see it, I must call out 'Xianjia Meteorology', if I hadn't also learned to burn glass, I would probably have sighed like this."
"It's still early today, so we'll finish all the doors and windows, so you can stay inside for a few nights." Fang Chang said with a smile, "I can also feel the beauty of it. After I go down the mountain, I can compare it."
...
Fang Chang stood in the center of the pond with his hands behind his back, looking at the lotus.
Just in summer, there are already flower buds in the pond, but unfortunately the terrain here is too high, no dragonflies can fly up, and it is impossible to reproduce the scene of "little lotus just showing its sharp horns, and dragonflies standing on its head".
Together with A Niu, he paved a boardwalk on the jade pond, and A Niu became proficient in carpentry.
A Niu came over from a distance and shouted respectfully:
"Master."
Then he stood with his hands not far behind him, waiting quietly.
"The carp in the pond is getting fatter." After a while, Fang Chang smiled, and then turned to A Niu, "What's wrong?"
"Master, although I can't understand the contents of these two secret books because I am illiterate, I have memorized them well." A Niu said, and then held out two books, "I am here to return them."
"Um."
Fang Chang took it, and put the "Cultivation Way" and "Cultivation Method" back into his arms.
A Niu asked: "What is Master thinking?"
Did not answer directly, Fang Chang smiled and asked: "A Niu, now that the five main halls have been completed, we have all moved in, how do you feel about living?"
"Certainly comfortable."
Since Ah Niu will go down the mountain soon, Fang Chang let him live in the preset guest room.
During this time, the master and apprentice have done many things.
They repaired the foundation nearby to build several side halls, and continued to dig the reserved holes on the cliff plank road to make several rooms, which can be used for storage or for making guest room.
"Then what do you think is a good name for this temple? I was thinking about this just now." Fang Chang said with a smile, "If you have any good ideas, you can talk about it. The plaque at the main entrance is still empty. .”
A Niu thought about it seriously, then shook his head, a little ashamed:
"Master, this disciple is so dull that he really can't think of a good name. For this kind of thing, it is still up to the master to do it. Forgive the disciple for not being able to do his job."
Fang Chang was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, and then turned to look down the cliff.
A Niu was puzzled, and also looked to the south.
After a while, a white light flashed, and Fang Chang stretched out his hand to copy it, and it turned out to be his Xiaoyu table knife.
