24, [Celestial change, predecessor's last wish]
On the fairy cliff, the fallen flowers are colorful.
Most of the flowers on the back hillside withered overnight, leaving only green branches and leaves. From time to time, petals float down the stream, and the fragrance drifted along the mountain breeze.
Fang Chang put down the water jug and looked up at the scene, feeling quite fond of it.
Suddenly, he found a tall and thin bluestone from the vicinity and moved it to the stream to stand firmly.
I looked back and looked at it, and I was very satisfied with the placement, and I moved my fingers like a sword in the back and wrote on this stone.
Although he only had two fingers, he wrote the feeling of ink. In an instant, as the stone chips rose, the three words "Huanhua Creek" like iron-painted silver hook appeared on the stone surface.
"From now on, you have a name, it's Huanhua Creek." Fang Chang smiled at the stream.
The sound of gurgling water and the mountain wind were light and cheerful, as if echoing him.
He filled several bamboo tubes with water and stuffed them up, and then picked up the water can and filled it with water. While walking back, he thought that the current method of fetching water was quite a waste of time.
In the future, you can consider burning a water tank, then making a few buckets, and using the water tank to store water to drink. This requires a large kiln and does not meet the conditions for the time being.
Another method is to open a tributary for this Huanhua Creek and bypass your thatched hut, which can not only provide a close-up water source, but also enhance the surrounding scenery. You can consider doing this as soon as possible. Even if you don’t have efficient tools, you can still use stone slabs. Anyway, you have time.
After a little comparison in his heart, Fang Chang laughed secretly: If ordinary people make choices, practitioners either want everything or don’t want everything.
Both of these items can be done, just depend on your mood and actions, and obey your wishes.
When he walked to the open space in front of the house, he poured water into a pile of dirt. The top of the pile was sunken and used to fill the water. After several round trips, he stirred it with a long wooden stick and stepped barefoot, and then there was a pile of mixed soil.
Fang Chang planned to use these to expand the kiln, add a chimney to the furnace, and burn some lime at the same time.
The deep woodland on Xianqi Cliff provides Fang Chang with almost endless firewood.
The rich and easy-to-get fuel makes smoke on Xianqi Cliff all day long. Fortunately, the clouds and mists are always in the mountains. It is difficult to see the mountain at a little higher place, so it will not make people doubt the smoke on Xianqi Cliff.
Lime raw materials are easy to obtain, and ordinary bluestone is good. This is very common in the mountains. The one used to engrave the name of Huanhua Creek just now is the one used to engrave Huanhua Creek.
Choose bluestone of the right size and uniform texture, put it in the furnace, add firewood and calcinate it to get quicklime.
However, it must be fully digested as a foundation moisture-proof.
A sag of stone platform not far away is a natural ash pit. Put the lime in and add water to it, and you need to stay for seven or eight days.
Mixed lime into the floor of the house to have good strength and water resistance, which is a good improvement for the living environment. At the same time, quicklime can also prevent moisture from the roof and can also be used to bond masonry.
With it, many things are made more durable, which invisibly greatly reduces the time to manufacture tools and utensils and improves labor efficiency.
A thick layer of lime in the ash pit. After it was poured into water, the lime block absorbed water and released heat, and the beeping popped. The poured water began to boil, bursting with white mist, and the sound was very strong.
The birds and the little beasts not far away were frightened and ran in conflict and temporarily stayed away from here.
The lime digestion process will take seven or eight days.
Fang Chang didn't want to be idle for the time being, so he neatly removed the previous kiln, then doubled the diameter, and built a larger and better furnace - at the same time, able to burn thirty-two bricks.
Bricks are also used for many purposes, such as building houses, paving roads, and making floors, or as some support. Since there is no measuring tool, he can only use the same frame to remove bricks. The thoroughly dried adobe can build kangs, build stoves, and use them as temporary walls, but Fangchang is not ready for use for the time being. This time, he plans to make more than a hundred bricks first and save them for use.
During these days, Fang Chang has always dealt with the soil, which makes him a little gray and has no appearance in the fairy family.
If those who called him "Immortal" and "Super Immortal" before now saw him, they would definitely completely break the original image in their hearts. Fortunately, no one came from Xianqi Cliff, and Fang Chang's previous vest did not fall off.
Once the kiln is ignited, it cannot be extinguished and needs to be taken care of until the end.
After entering the practice of cultivation, he did not need to sleep, so he had no pressure on it. He slowly walked around and added some firewood every once in a while to maintain the temperature in the furnace.
Next to the thatched hut, a new shed was built, with only four pillars and a thatched roof, which were used to place some things, such as excess firewood and bricks that were about to be out of the kiln.
The mountain wind is gentle but cool, and the square long hand is behind your back and looking up at the beautiful night sky.
“Huh?”
Compared to last night, the stars in the night sky have obviously moved their positions today, and they are shining brightly, emitting a pale light.
This is not a good sign.
He felt in his heart, and after a brief calculation, the celestial phenomena have already appeared. Based on his current shallow calculation level, he can also draw a conclusion: the world will not be peaceful in the future.
Sighing slightly, Fang Chang continued to go back to work.
The brick kiln needs to be taken care of, and the fire cannot be extinguished.
…………
...
As the brick kiln also cooled down, Fang Chang suddenly found that he was in his spare time again.
Looking at the mountains of firewood piled up in the house and in the shed, he felt that it would be better to burn some charcoal. Charcoal is purer than firewood and has a higher calorific value. The pottery burned with charcoal will have higher temperatures and fewer impurities, and the quality will be better.
There are many ways to build a charcoal kiln, with different effects and application conditions.
Fang Chang was not going to build those reusable kilns. He just found something to pass the time in the cooling gaps of bricks and was able to burn the firewood into charcoal.
Choose wooden sticks with a thickness and texture, stand them upwards, pile them up like a bonfire, and then paste the mud outside as a kiln body.
At the bottom of the charcoal kiln, in the four directions of southeast, west and north, two large ventilation holes are left, and a hole is left at the top. Then, the fire is drawn from the fire pit in the house and ignite it at the top of the hole in the semicircular charcoal kiln. When red light can be observed from the four vent holes at the bottom, the upper holes and the bottom ventilation holes are blocked in turn.
Next, I became more bored, and I needed to constantly fill the cracks with soil and fill wherever there was smoke.
This is a technique learned by Fang Chang in his previous life, but this is his first practice.
When I opened my eyes and closed my eyes, I changed my world and changed my environment. The appearance on this warm body made Fang Chang feel a little sad.
However, his personality of being content with everything allowed him to adapt to his new identity smoothly, and even embarked on the path of cultivation after the adventure.
The predecessor of this body was walking peacefully before, making his reception process smooth.
