The first update arrives, and the third update is guaranteed today!

Under the long-term snow cover, the soil has turned into a hard permafrost layer to a large extent. If you rely on ordinary tools, you can't even dig, let alone find clay with sticky bricks.
Lin Luoran walked through the snow-covered mountains and forests, her naked skin had been tanned to a honey color slightly lighter than wheat. At this moment, she looked very much like a vigorous female hunter in the mountains and forests, and she was far away from the fairy-like female cultivator.
More precisely, a female architect
Lin Luoran curled her lips, and was also a cook and garden designer.
With a light leap, she landed on a protruding rock, and the snow-covered stone surface was a little slippery. Lin Luoran looked at the rock, found a point of strength and pushed it aside, and indeed found slightly moist soil under the rock. When I was a child, I tried this trick a hundred times to catch crabs, but I didn't expect it to be used here, and it is quite similar.
There is a small stream behind Lijia Village, and the water almost dries up in winter. Lin Luoran once touched the crabs. It looked like pebbles were covered with a layer of dry moss. After breaking apart, there would be moist soil and blisters underneath, and the crabs hid in it.
Rocks can also store water and resist low temperatures, which is the same reason.
Lin Luoran took soil from under the rock and started to burn bricks.
In ancient times, it was often said that blue bricks and large tiled houses, if you want to fire blue bricks, you don't need to add blue pigments. The iron-rich clay should be fired and baked normally to get red bricks. To get blue bricks, coal needs to be added into the kiln to seal after firing. After watering, the water vapor will chemically react with the high-temperature charcoal in the kiln. reaction, and finally the red high-order iron oxide and ferric oxide are gradually reduced to blue-gray low-order iron oxide, ferrous oxide, to make blue bricks.
Lin Luoran was neither a science student nor worked in a kiln factory. Such a simple truth is unknown. Fortunately, as a cultivator in the alchemy stage, her fire spirit power is not a problem at all, and she has the ability to burn bricks. The underground kiln was dug near the waterfall. After she tried many times, she succeeded by chance. Is it a miracle
Of course, this is already two months after she went up the mountain.
Of course there is no cement in this place, and there is no such thing as cement in ancient houses, but Lin Luoran found that the gum tree juice and a kind of Polygonum grass powder were crushed, and the ground rice flour was added, and the adhesion was no worse than cement. The most important thing is that the Polygonum grass that grows under the gum tree neutralizes the disadvantage of the gum tree sap melting when it is heated.
It was the white bear who reminded her of this Polygonum grass shrunk into withered grass under the snow.
After Lin Luoran fired a huge batch of blue bricks, he was finally about to start building a house.
Considering the beauty, she gave up the idea of repairing the sandwich wall, and finally decided to build the house into a masonry structure one third above the ground, with wood carvings on it for decoration. As for heating, it depends on geothermal heat.
The bluestone paved on the ground was also taken by hollowing out a certain mountain wall. The building of the house was so grand that it was no longer a matter of a white bear and a monster. Lin Luoran often saw sneaky things at night. The shadow swayed. According to what the white bear said, more and more high-level monsters were exploring its territory at night.
It means that regardless of whether it is for the sake of face or liking, if the mansion caused by Lin Luoran does not match the movement, the white bear will lose face—then its deal with Lin Luoran will naturally be Obsolete.
However, on this mountain, the relationship between the high-level monsters doesn't seem to be as disharmonious as in the monster forest? Lin Luoran has no way of confirming whether it is because high-level monsters have higher spiritual intelligence.
In order to build a house, she often ran all over the forest. Under the mountains, in order to survive the long winter, the lack of food has made many monsters turn their eyes red. The forest has become even more dangerous. Grass-eating monsters such as flame rabbits and jumping sheep who have no rations are starved to the bone. If they want to reduce consumption, they have to stay in the cave for a long time. Those high-level monsters who hunted them couldn't find the rabbit hole buried in the snow, and at the same time they were so hungry that their claws and feet were weak, when they saw a living creature like Lin Luoran, they rushed over regardless of life and death, often making Lin Luoran Overwhelmed.
It is precisely because the food chain is intertwined that they are uncomfortable, which makes Lin Luoran equally uncomfortable.
When I occasionally saw the corpses of starved monsters in the depths of the snow, although I usually hated their bloodthirsty, Lin Luoran would also look forward to it when standing silently, when will the long winter in the monster forest pass?
Even if you look at half a year, there are still at least three months, right
Lin Luoran resigned to his fate and dragged a tree similar to agarwood back. The house next to the waterfall, the blue brick wall has been built. In order to match the height of the white bear, these blue brick walls used as the base of the wall are almost as tall as Lin Luo Then the top of the head. On the green bricks, Lin Luoran can carve patterns with wood, even the walls, and wooden windows that can be moved when pushed open. The high-roofed house must be at least seven or eight meters high.
In the past three months, in addition to building a huge mansion, she also searched for some not so tall and unique tree species and strange rocks with roots in the monster forest from time to time to pave the way for decorating the house.
One day, when Lin Luoran was polishing the iron nanmu with her spiritual power, she suddenly thought tragically that if she wanted to build a house by herself, besides being a garden designer, wouldn't she also have to be a furniture maker
Then get the year of the monkey
Lin Luoran thought more than once, just try to climb the mountain, but when she thought of the low roar of the beast a few months ago, she felt unsure from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Luoran knew very well that if she could not overcome this obstacle, not only would she be subject to the white bear, but she would also have a crack in her Dao heart due to fear.
Forever and ever, this is the inner demon of practice.
She threw the whole tree on the ground, and on the other side, there were beams polished by iron nanmu.
Agarwood is used to carve windows, right
Lin Luoran already has a plan for the whole house, even the green bricks are burned, so she is not afraid of making black tiles anymore.
Although Lin Luoran stayed on the mountainside for so long due to the power of the eighth-level monster and was not sure about climbing the mountain alone, but seeing a building complex emerging from scratch and gradually revealing its outline, this This sense of satisfaction is no less than that of researching a formation.
This is an area that Lin Luoran had no contact with when she was an ordinary person. She felt the convenience of cultivation, and she became more and more imaginative. If one day she can really live forever, there are mysteries in this world, and she can have enough time to calm down. To ponder, how happy and unspeakable are those days
The night came as scheduled, and the white bear was a little reluctant to visit Lin Luoran's temporary cave.
It's spacious and warm inside, and it's really comfortable to stay here, but this little human girl has become more and more courageous recently, saying that it's cold outside in the snow, and if she wants to drink steaming fish soup, she has to come to her cave
The white bear was not very happy, didn't it catch the fish deep into the cold pool, why did it sound like she was giving it away
The crackling sound of the firewood is because there is moisture in the firewood, and it will make a crackling sound when it burns. The thick smoke from the burning of wet wood was introduced into the mountain wall by a bamboo tube, and after winding countless places, it would be drawn out from the cliff where there are few monsters and beasts. This human girl is very cautious, even in its territory Are you afraid that other monsters will discover her residence
The white bear couldn't help but want to tell Lin Luoran several times that the spiritual wisdom of high-level monsters is gradually opening up. Even if they can't speak, they know that killing beasts and seizing pills is not the right way. They can absorb the spiritual energy that fills the air—as for why It is also necessary to hunt down low-level monsters, this dead forest of monsters, if they are trapped in it, if they don't fight each other, they will really be so quiet that they will go crazy.
A stone pot was hanging high, and the fish soup was already simmering. On the other fire was a barbecue. The flame rabbit was skinny, and the white bear thought it could only be used as a tooth-stripping sacrifice.
Lin Luoran didn't greet it, she lowered her head, and was carving an ornament by the light of the fire. As her fingers flew around, wood chips and wood shavings fell all over the open space at her feet.
The white bear drank the fish soup and said vaguely: "I don't know what you humans are thinking. In order to climb this mountain, you are even willing to be servants for monsters."
Lin Luoran didn't raise his head, and replied indifferently: "Compared with it, wouldn't it be more strange for a monster to imitate human beings everywhere?"
Whether it is learning cooking or letting Lin Luoran build a house for it, isn't it imitating human beings? Lin Luoran always felt an indescribable weirdness.
The white-haired bear took a bite of the meat, lost its voice for a short while, and then laughed out loud, showing its gums. It didn't look as stressful as it used to be.
"Who told you that Grandpa Xiong wants to be a man?"
isn't it? Lin Luoran was stunned for a moment.
The white bear patted its paws, "Compared with this, do you want to ask, how can Grandpa Xiong be sure to let you cross the mountains?"
The movement of Lin Luoran's hands had stopped, and he stared at it without blinking.
