"This... Mr. Zhang, where did you get this design? How did it come about, how could it be so strange? Moreover, this temple has a grand atmosphere. This should not be a single building, right? This is a
Building complex?”
The two academics who were studying architecture in the Miscellaneous Academy were stunned when they received the drawings handed over by Zhang Yan. The buildings on the drawings made them feel more novel, and they had an obvious style system, rather than being casual for the sake of beauty.
Just show it as you like.
"Yes, this is a systematic architectural style. I am also planning to use this style to form a community on the cliff mountain. Let's see if this idea can be realized?" Zhang Yan invited the two people opposite him to ask.
Finalize the architectural style and foundation on the cliff mountain.
A house, especially a palace-type building, is not as simple as clay sculpture. From the foundation to the beams and columns, and to the final roof, it is almost all knowledge. Even if Zhang Yan knows the five elements of earth magic, he can dig an earth and stone.
There is no problem with a basement or underground space, but it is unrealistic to directly transform it into a palace. Although the monks have mysterious methods, they can't create things according to their words and thoughts, right? This kind of ability is probably very powerful among the gods.
The existence of .
Since there is no way to create something directly, we need to take apart the building bit by bit. For example, how to lay the foundation? How to build the walls, how to press the beams and columns, etc. After these things are disassembled and figured out, it is time for Zhang Yan to start building by himself.
.
After all, Zhang Yan can only draw the appearance of ancient buildings, and he is a layman on how to build an identical one.
"Buildings of this style must be very impressive if they form a group! Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. Although this is the first time we have seen this drawing, the essence of the architecture is the same. We can only think more about the cornices and beams."
, it should be able to achieve the effect you drew."
When it comes to building houses, the two academics from the College of Miscellaneous Studies are experts. They have handled a lot of hall-like houses. It's just that because of their status as miscellaneous students, they can't make a name for themselves outside. Zhang Yan was the only one who was surprised.
The architectural styles and styles were brought out, but they were always confident about how to build it.
Hearing this, Zhang Yan put on a smile on his face and said, "That's good. Are you two gentlemen free? This trip may delay your time for several days."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang must be saying that our recent classes have been completed. The new students will not arrive until two months later. There is time at any time."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said: "Then tomorrow, I will come to the academy to pick you up early tomorrow morning. Then you will have to work hard."
"Don't dare. Mr. Zhang is too polite."
Zhang Yan felt relieved after finding a great architect.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yan took three disciples on the Skylark Shuttle and landed at the Academy of Miscellaneous Studies. He picked up the two academics whose cheeks were red with excitement because they were riding the Skylark Shuttle for the first time, and then flew all the way.
Go to the cliff mountain in the northwest of Changhu County.
At this time, it had been another month and a half since Zhang Yan came here last time.
"Two gentlemen, we have arrived."
Although they didn't fly for long, the two academics were still a little pale even though they tensed up. It was probably that the rapid speed at high altitude made them a little uncomfortable for the first time.
"Build here first, a pavilion in front of the waterfall." The map Zhang Yan took out was the final result of the three disciples. Although there was no such thing as a scale, the general direction could still be seen clearly.
"Pavilion? Okay!" The two of them didn't mind. In fact, they also wanted to try their skills on some small buildings first, and then move on to the big buildings. The two of them had already discussed it last night. Regarding what Zhang Yan proposed,
Complete confidence in the architectural style.
Zhang Yan glanced at Wang Nian and Yang Rui and said, "Liangting, you two go up and try your hand."
"is teacher!"
This conversation made the two pedantic scholars stunned for a moment. What do you mean? It’s like looking at two little kids? Can they build things?
When the group of people reached the waterfall marked on the map, the scenery in front of them stunned Zhang Yan, who was also seeing it for the first time, and the two academics.
I saw a straight opening in the cliff, and a large stream of water rushed down. The drop was estimated to be thirty feet, and the momentum was astonishing. Below the waterfall was a stream, winding down the mountain. Both sides were covered with lush greenery.
vegetation. If I hadn’t heard the sound, I would have had to spend some time finding this place.
After the two academics came to their senses, they looked around and asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhang, didn't you arrange for the craftsmen to come over?!"
I thought that Zhang Yan had already prepared the manpower, and they could start construction as soon as they arrived. But now the waterfall is magnificent, but where is the manpower? It is impossible for these people standing in the mountains and forests to want to build something, right? Even one
I don’t even have a hammer or a shovel!
"Craftsmen? No need. Just have Wang Nian and Yang Rui here. They will prepare and complete the construction according to the requirements of the two gentlemen."
"Ah? This...but..."
Zhang Yan knew very well that the explanation now was completely meaningless, and the other party would not understand it. So it was better to explain it while doing it. So he interrupted the other party's doubts and pointed to the square protruding from the left half of the waist on the waterfall.
There was a huge stone about ten feet tall and he said, "Sir, we want to build a pavilion there!"
"Ah? Where to build it? This, this..." The two academics didn't know how to answer. It didn't look like the place couldn't be built, but it was extremely difficult, and for the sake of stability, materials couldn't be used on the stone walls.
, but you need to get stones from elsewhere and carry them on your back. And it is even more troublesome when it comes to laying the foundation. It requires not only ideas, but also the cooperation of highly skilled masons. But right now... let alone masons, even a stone mason is required.
You don’t even have any tools. What the heck is this?
"Two gentlemen, one of my methods is unusual. For example, coming from the sky is one of them. So you two don't need to compare the present situation with common sense. Inviting you two to come over will naturally rely on your knowledge.
I'm not going to make a joke. Please tell me how to start building this pavilion on that protruding boulder."
The two miscellaneous scholars were brought back to their senses by Zhang Yan's words. They thought to themselves, how could Zhang Yan's abilities be guessed by them according to the usual practice? It was impossible for others to make such a big show to tease them.
Just do their job well and honestly.
"Mr. Zhang, the main body of the rock should still be within the cliff. We must first find out whether the inlaid part inside is firm and then we can determine the next step."
Zhang Yan nodded when he heard the words and looked at Yang Rui. The latter responded, and then climbed up the cliff of more than ten feet like an ape. Then he stood on the protruding stone platform and put his hands on it.
He sensed the cliff next to him and got the result after a while.
"Teacher, this stone is cone-shaped. Where I stand is its tip. The five to six feet behind it are all embedded in the mountain. It is very solid."
"The next step is to drill three ground stakes on the boulder, and then drill two more in the cliff. The five stakes are horns and can serve as a foundation..." The two academics continued to give instructions.
