Chapter 165: Dou Gong mortise and tenon, putting yourself in danger!
In fact, due to years of disrepair, most of the structure in the building has been damaged, and there are countless parts that need to be replaced, and the problems that come with it are endless.
Yang Yu told Lin Ran that if he wanted to reinstall the door beam, he would have to make a slit on the pillar.
There are many traces of sealing on the inner groove pillars of the main hall, proving that this temple was repaired a long time ago.
If processing is continued, the original structure may be damaged, and even the inner groove columns must be replaced.
Of course, this is not the most dangerous thing!
Yang Yu frowned and said: "This may be the earliest material-dividing module design in ancient times, built through mortise and tenon joints."
"Look at this component." Yang Yu pointed to the bucket-like design above and said, "This is called a dougong. It is a unique material module of the Tang Dynasty. It is spliced with mortise and tenon joints. It is a snap-lock structure."
From a distance, it looks like the beam is hung on the wall with two hooks.
The wisdom of the ancients was really special. They actually came up with this method to fix the beams.
But this design has been eliminated. With the current inheritance and skills, no one can design such a tight buckle based on the measured quality!
If the design is too light, there is no way to fix the measurement.
If the design is heavy, it will increase the load on the wall and increase the risk of collapse.
Everything else is easy to solve, but the modular design of this material really stumps them.
The abbot also stood up and said: "Xugong, Donor Lin, can actually achieve 80% restoration, which is enough. If it is really difficult to restore the main hall, we can think of other methods to replace it."
Yang Yu sighed and smiled bitterly: "You can replace it if you want, but you have to take it off first."
He was very excited when he saw the drawings at first, thinking that he could complete this big project with his own hands.
But unexpectedly, I stumbled over the details again.
The crystallization of wisdom of the ancients is indeed far beyond our imagination!
Lin Ran looked at the live button and was filled with emotions.
He once participated in the restoration and restoration work of the loose buckle in the Forbidden City, which was really difficult. At that time, he did not know that it was for the renovation of the Great Buddha Temple, but the curator repeatedly told him to restore it perfectly.
Even with the help of various advanced instruments and professional equipment, the restoration team took a full six hours to complete.
The difficulty is evident!
But fortunately, as a man of two generations, with the support of my first experience, I am not at a loss to solve the problem of this Tang Dynasty movable buckle structure!
After calming down, Lin Ran said to Yang Yu with a smile on his face: "Gong Yang, actually I can repair buckles."
"Leave this problem to me."
After saying that, Lin Ran patted Yang Yu's shoulder in a serious manner to express comfort.
"What??" Yang Yu was shocked. He was shocked that the young man in front of him could draw such realistic drawings.
Unexpectedly, he actually said that he could repair buckles?
This is a long-lost skill in China, at least for a thousand years!
It's simply a fantasy!
"Little brother, are you serious?"
Feeling the weight on his shoulders and looking around again, Yang Yu still frowned.
You know, this buckle is at least 20 meters above the ground. They don't have a lift, so the workers rely on stairs to repair it.
If Lin Ran wanted to complete the repair work, he had to risk his life, sit on the beam, and complete the repair work of the buckle in fear.
Originally, the beam was in danger of falling down at any time, and the weight of a person made it even more dangerous!
Maybe it will collapse directly under the force!
Yang Yu truthfully told Lin Ran and the abbot the risk, asking them to make their own decisions.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the abbot stood up without hesitation and said: "Well, it can only be said that this temple and the temple are not destined to be together. Since collapse is its fate, let him go! How can we let Donor Lin take the risk!"
Hearing the other party's concern, Lin Ran felt warm in his heart and replied: "Abbott, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Although I cannot guarantee 100% success, we will only know the result if we try!"
The abbot still shook his head firmly: "Amitabha, I accept Donor Lin's kindness. I really can't bear to let you put yourself in danger. What's more, Donor Xu also said just now that this job is very dangerous. With compassion in mind, how could I allow you to stand in the hall?"
Seeing the other party's determination, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Although monks are said to be compassionate, there are many fake monks on the market. They not only pretend to be monks and go around asking for alms, but they also sell various cultural relics, cheat and make a lot of money.
However, the abbot in front of me still has the Buddha nature of a monk. Compared with a certain temple in later generations that almost became a listed real estate group, I don’t know how many times better!
After some weighing, Lin Ran made the final decision.
"It doesn't matter. My weight is relatively well-proportioned. If I go up alone, it won't collapse directly. I'll be responsible for any consequences!"
Lin Ran had seen the structure. From the outside, the risk of collapse was not high, so he dared to take the risk. He was not a fool who would risk his life for money.
But the abbot had given up his mind, and decisively refused again: "I accept the benefactor's good intentions, but the Buddhist sect does not lie, and what you say is what you say, so you cannot refuse. Don't mention this matter again."
After saying that, the abbot was about to turn around and leave, his back looking particularly lonely.
The group of them was also preparing to evacuate the hall, but Lin Ran suddenly had an idea and had an idea in his mind.
"Abbott, everything depends on fate. If I enter the hall and complete the repair work, does it mean that I have a fate with the items in it?"
The abbot turned back and looked at Lin Ran in confusion.
But he still nodded: "That's how it should be."
Lin Ran smiled and said: "Okay, if I fix the clasp, can you give me the things you get in the palace? It can be regarded as a cause and effect!"
The implication was that Lin Ran repaired the buckle for the sake of what was inside.
Not for the agreement with the abbot, or for the so-called inheritance.
It can be regarded as giving the abbot a step down.
The abbot was touched in his heart. In his opinion, those things were just external possessions. So what if they were valuable?
As monks, they would not sell the cultural relics handed down from their ancestors for money.
Placing it in the ancient temple is just a memory.
Thinking of what Lin Ran said to him some time ago, only by letting go of the past can he better control the future.
The abbot thought for a moment and said: "Amitabha! Since Donor Lin has given up his mind, I can't persuade him anymore. As long as Donor Lin can repair the loose buckle, all the items in the temple will be given to you. I will never break my promise!"
The abbot's words were heard by the construction workers, and they started talking about it one after another.
"Little brother, don't think too hard, these junk things are worthless."
"It doesn't matter if you are a member of the Buddhist sect. Why would you, an outsider, get involved?"
"From my years of experience in building houses, if you sit on it, it will collapse within half an hour."
"I advise you to forget it, your life is important!"
But the construction worker's words were not accepted by Lin Ran. After looking at the abbot, he took the ladder himself and stepped into the main hall without hesitation!
"I'm really not afraid of death." The construction worker murmured a few words, left the ladder behind, and ran out quickly.
In his opinion, as long as Lin Ran sat on the beam, the house would collapse immediately.
I don’t know how anyone can be so confident!
Others are also leaving the hall step by step. The originally bustling hall is now extremely quiet!
Lin Ran leaned the ladder against the wall and climbed up slowly.
Do not lean directly against the beam, otherwise it will increase the probability of collapse.
So we can only stay closer and step over when we reach the crossbar.
Every step is extremely dangerous!
Outside the main hall, the abbot was holding Buddhist beads, sliding them one by one, and muttering something in his mouth.
Obviously praying for Lin Ran.
Others didn't know what happened, so they spontaneously gathered in the backyard to watch.
The abbot usually doesn't show up, so someone who can ask the abbot to pray for him in person must have an extraordinary background!
