Live Immortal Cultivation: Ask Daoists to Believe in Science

Chapter 200 Why Do You Need Beer Bottles?

Seeing Jiang Yun stop, Jiang Huanong urged, "Daoist Jiang, the rafters are already cut, so hurry up and replace them."

"After the roof is repaired, the three of us will have a delicious meal and celebrate."

"The repair of Taoist temples must adhere to the principle of repairing the old as the old. These five rafters are too new to be used, and the surface needs to be carbonized with fire."

"Fire?"

Seeing that the two were very puzzled, Jiang Yun explained: "The treatment of wood carbonization is a purely physical technology, which only involves temperature and water vapor."

"All the wood in the Taoist temple is heat-treated for a long time at a high temperature of 180 to 250 degrees to make the wood grain stand out and the color luxurious, thus exuding the unique fragrance of wood."

"These five rafters must also be treated with the same technology, and the Taoist temple must be passed on to the next generation. The repair work must not be sloppy."

The water friends in the live broadcast room didn't know it, but they also felt that Jiang Yun's words were correct.

Good things need to be well preserved, and then passed on. These things are the cultural heritage of China for thousands of years, and they cannot be destroyed in the hands of my own generation.

Jiang Yun listed the materials he needed to carbonize the rafters, forty empty beer bottles, 200 yuan red bricks, half a bag of cement, half square stones, a load of loess and some other materials.

Looking at the material list, Jiang Huanong was puzzled.

He hesitated and asked: "Jiang Daochang, are you sure this is the list needed for carbonized rafters?"

"That's right, Pindao is sincere, can I still lie to you?"

"That's fine. My house was renovated two days ago, and there are a lot of building materials left, except for the loess. I'll go back and drive the pickup truck and bring the things over to you."

Jiang Huanong dragged his good friend away from the Taoist temple, and went home to move things.

When Jiang Yun came to the tool room, he found two dustpans, a shoulder pole and a shovel, carried the dustpans, and took Xiao Bai up the mountain through the small gate in the backyard.

There is a soil slope behind Tianyuan Taoist Temple. The soil quality here is very good, and a large field of wild onions and wild garlic grows there.

Many water friends in the live broadcast room saw this place for the first time.

Jiang Yun half squatted on the ground, twisted a little loess, rubbed it, put it under his nose and smelled it, then nodded with a smile.

He set up two dustpans, and then began to shovel loess into it with a shovel.

While shoveling, he explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, the rafters in the carbonized Taoist temple need to be repaired in an earthen kiln."

"The loess behind the Taoist temple has good viscosity. As long as the ratio of soil to sand reaches five to one, a strong kiln body that is not easy to crack can be built."

The water friends in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded.

What do you mean, to carbonize the rafters, isn't it just a simple fire?
Why build an earthen kiln?
Also, Taoist priest, how come you can even repair clay kilns, what else in this world can you not do?
After Jiang Yun transported four dustpans of loess to the Taoist temple, he reckoned that it was enough, and then used a sieve to carefully pass the picked loess.

After he finished the work at hand, Jiang Huanong also drove to the entrance of the Taoist temple with his brother.

Cement, red bricks, sand, stones, beer bottles, etc., were stuffed into a cart full.

"Jiang Daochang, if it's not enough, just say it. Several uncles in the village heard that you are going to repair the Taoist temple, and they are all going to bring you the leftover building materials from their own households."

"I still have a carload of these materials left in my house. If it's not enough later, I'll call them again." Jiang Huanong said generously.

The water friends in the live broadcast room felt like they had seen a ghost.

Many people know Huanong's character. In his own videos, he always eats and takes food at his brother's house. Why did he go out of his normal way today and suddenly pluck his feathers.

Together, the three of them unloaded all the materials into the backyard of the Taoist temple.

Jiang Yun picked a spot in a vacant corner of the backyard of the Taoist temple. He first laid a layer of red bricks, and then mixed some concrete with cement and sand.

The red bricks are spaced about one meter apart, and two rows of brick walls are built with concrete. The height is about [-] centimeters and the length is [-] meters.

After building, cover with two stone slabs, and then use red bricks to build a groove on the stone slabs, the height of three layers of bricks.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
After Jiang Yun finished his work, he habitually tapped the red brick three times with the brick knife in his hand before getting up to do other things.

The drone camera showed this semi-finished product for several minutes, and the water friends in the live broadcast room were very puzzled.

"What novelty is the Daoist planning to make?"

"Hey, although I can't read it, but the bricks are really beautiful, clean and straight, I give it nine points."

"It's a real hammer. The Taoist priest went to the construction site to work as a small worker [-]% before."

"The brick knife is six times better than the kitchen knife. I just want to know what else the anchor can't do."

"Don't worry, all the female compatriots in the live broadcast room, the only thing the Daoist leader can't do is to marry you."

"Damn it, who sent that barrage? I broke my defense, I'm going to drag him out, set the pot on fire and stew him!"

"Good sister, I saw that kid's barrage, you can add him, the ID of the barrage is: bad luck, bad luck [funny]"

Jiang Yun held a basket of stones and poured them directly into the brick grooves of the stone slab. After laying a layer, he wore string gloves to straighten the stones.

"Brother Huanong, pass me the beer bottle, yes, I want them all."

Jiang Huanong looked puzzled. He watched as Jiang Yun put the empty big green stick beer bottle on the stone, forming two circles.

In the center of the circle, two empty beer bottles were placed, just to fill the gap.

On one of the beer bottles, Jiang Yun took a piece of paper and wrote several lines on it, but before the camera could clearly capture the content, he stuffed it in.

Then, the beer bottles were buried and paved with fine sand, and red bricks were laid on them again.

"Jiang Daochang, why are you burying beer bottles in it?"

"The air in the beer bottle can reduce heat loss and achieve the effect of heat preservation. The double-layer insulation glass is the principle."

"Beer bottles are laid under this earthen kiln, which can allow the heat radiation to circulate to a greater extent and better carbonize the wood inside." Jiang Yun explained.

Jiang Huanong shook his head, expressing that he did not understand.

Many water friends in the live broadcast room focused their attention on the note in the beer bottle.

"Daoist, what kind of charm did you put in the beer bottle, is it a fire-focusing charm?"

"Every layman, you have to believe in science. There is no real fire with three flavors in Taoist temples, but it is absolutely reasonable to use a fire gathering talisman."

"I really want to secretly destroy the kiln he built while the Taoist priest is not at home, and then steal the beer bottle containing the note."

"I see the execution, upstairs, aren't you afraid that the Taoist priest will summon the sky thunder with his backhand, and then directly strike you to death from eight hundred miles away?"

"Which buddy is so bold, let's make friends, and I will go to your house for dinner!"

Jiang Yun looked at the bullet screen in the live broadcast room, and he explained with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't spread rumors, it is against the law to spread rumors these days."

"In that glass bottle, there are the thunder method taught to me by my master and the formula for summoning the sky thunder. I will leave it as a legacy."

"In case the Taoist temple is lost in the future, when someone opens the earthen kiln and sees the note, if he learns it, then he has inherited the Taoist tradition of Tianyuan Taoist temple."
