Chapter 167: Is it time to turn back?I looked back and saw China!
Clenching his teeth and using all his strength, he finally made the interface fully move.
As this action was completed, the entire temple shook slightly, shocking the people watching outside!
Fortunately, it only shook slightly, some sand fell, and then it returned to its original state.
Lin Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be even more amazed that there was such an ingenious design!
I originally thought that I had to use brute force to lift it, but at the critical moment, I discovered that there was a movable section at the connection that could move the beam horizontally.
Although it is only a short five centimeters, it is enough to start the repair work on your own.
Gently taking out the tools he had brought with him from the bag, Lin Ran's face turned stern, and a hint of determination flashed through his eyes again.
Although there is no risk for the time being, if he cannot fix the hook, he will have no way back!
People outside will definitely not return to the temple that is in danger of collapsing at any time to help him, and the beam is so high, if he jumps down rashly, he will never get any good results!
Only by overcoming the difficulties in front of you is your only way out!
Looking at the loose buckle, Lin Ran eliminated distracting thoughts and started repair work.
outside the temple.
The shaking of the temple just now was clearly visible, and the monks were still chanting sutras and praying. Yang Yu walked to the abbot and asked softly: "Master, do you want to go in and take Brother Lin out?"
Yang Yu believes that Lin Ran is a rare talent who has extensive research on ancient architecture. If he can recruit his own engineering team, he will definitely be even more powerful!
Putting aside interests, Lin Ran's responsibility and bloodshed alone were enough to make these rough guys admire him from the bottom of their hearts!
Most of the people who come to pray are kind people.
They couldn't bear to see a young man entering a dilapidated house alone to make repairs.
They all started to persuade him: "Yes, Master, let him come out quickly."
The abbot held the prayer beads in his hand and hesitated for a moment.
It is not easy to repair a house, but it is easy to tear it down and rebuild it. However, the temples that have been left for thousands of years were destroyed in one day.
Monks are compassionate.
After just a brief thought, the abbot shouted to the temple: "Donor Lin, the temple seems to be in danger of collapsing at any time. You'd better leave quickly."
Lin Ran was studying the structure of the buckle, which was different from the buckle structures he had seen in the museum.
Hearing the abbot's shout, Lin Ran responded calmly: "It doesn't matter, I've already started researching it."
"Donor, it's too dangerous, you better give up!" the abbot continued to persuade.
Now if the beam is pushed back, it should be no problem until Lin Ran leaves safely.
But Lin Ran once again rejected the abbot's proposal without hesitation.
"This temple has a history of thousands of years and should not be allowed to disappear in front of me. No matter what, I will repair it!" Lin Ran said firmly.
"There is no end to the sea of suffering. When you turn around, you will reach the shore." the abbot continued.
From the outside, it looks like a crumbling and dangerous building. The shaking just now made the feeling of danger rise to more than one level.
"It's true what the abbot said, it's safe to turn around." Lin Ran smiled.
Everyone thought Lin Ran was about to give up, so the abbot clasped his hands together and whispered: "Amitabha."
Although this temple has a long history, it will eventually collapse one day, and Buddhists should take this seriously.
The abbot decided not to talk about this temple from now on. Maybe this was the devil in his heart, and it would be better if it collapsed.
Unexpectedly, a voice came from the temple again.
"I have looked back, and what I see is the history of our China. I will never allow this glorious past to disappear in the long river of history!"
Lin Ran's answer was convincing.
The abbot's lips trembled slightly. As a monk, he shouldn't have mood swings.
But the temple in front of him was passed down by his master, telling him that this is the foundation of Gexian Temple!
If the temple is lost, Gexian Temple will become a rootless tree, and sooner or later the inheritance will be cut off.
During the dilapidation movement, the master devoted his whole life to protecting the safety of the temple.
Unexpectedly, it was not destroyed, but suffered heavy damage in the earthquake.
The master's last wish during his lifetime was that he could restore it and restore the glory of Gexian Temple.
After listening to Lin Ran's words, he suddenly realized.
It turns out that the master is not reluctant to part with the inheritance of Gexian Temple. As a monk, he should naturally have nothing to lose.
He couldn't bear to part with this temple, mainly because of its historical background!
This history must be passed on.
The abbot was enlightened and all the entanglements in his heart were swept away.
"This..." The onlookers were shocked.
Most people believe that Lin Ran originally risked his life just for the cultural relics in the temple.
Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to pass down the thousand-year-old temple.
With this state of mind, everyone admires him!
"If this was really a temple handed down from ancient times, it really shouldn't have collapsed like this."
"Speaking of which, our village has always had the custom of coming to Gexian Temple to pray for blessings. It turns out it has such a long history."
"Little brother, you are working for the Great God Ge Xian. He will definitely bless you!"
Everyone gave a thumbs up. They wanted to see the original appearance of Gexian Temple, so they wanted to cheer Lin Ran, but were stopped by Yang Yu.
"The current building structure is unstable, so everyone should keep quiet and let Brother Lin repair it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone became quiet.
I just pray silently in my heart and my eyes are full of concern!
Lin Ran abandoned all distracting thoughts and carefully observed the live buttons.
The buckle in front of him was in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, and the upper part was extremely damaged due to age, but Lin Ran did not dare to open it rashly.
Because it is also connected to the horizontal groove structure on the other side, which is the part under your feet.
The craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen was so ingenious that they could build a complete house simply from wood. At that time, they discovered the most stable geometric law of the triangle.
There are three live buckles in total. If one is unfastened incorrectly, it will cause the entire wall to become unbalanced. Now the entire house is crumbling.
After a period of observation, Lin Ran finally saw the structure of the house clearly.
The top of the tic-tac-toe buckle is connected to the horizontal beam, and the right side is connected to the purlin surface, which is the support of the platform he is stepping on.
Once you understand the structure, you can start repairing it.
To untie the knotted tenon of the beam.
But this knotted tenon can only be pulled out with great force, and it also needs a foothold.
Lin Ran made a quick decision. Since he couldn't pull it out, he could only repair it on the spot.
He took out the awl and began to tap on the knotted tenons.
You can feel the beam shaking every time you hit it.
"Dong...dong...dong"
As banging sounds were heard inside the temple, people outside also saw the house shaking slightly.
Almost everyone clenched their fists and cheered for the little brother inside.
Finally, the knotted tenon along the beam was taken out, and now there is only one last piece left.
Looking at the knotted tenons in front of him, Lin Ran couldn't help but admire that after nearly a thousand years, it could still maintain a fixed shape.
It's just a little damp, so just make the groove on it a little deeper and it'll be fine.
After repairing the first pendant, we finally came to the most dangerous step.
Repair of triangular connection members!
