The passers-by who followed closely listened to the prayers of the craftsmen.
They all stood on their tiptoes and tried to take a few glances into the main hall.
All the craftsmen in the main hall were heard saluting Master Lu Ban in unison.
"My Patriarch, please bless me.
Today, all the disciples have come to pay their respects and offer incense.
The disciples are going to repair the temple for the Patriarch.
Please avoid causing any disturbance, and please don't blame me."
Passers-by outside the main hall, hearing the words of the craftsmen, knew that the vow ceremony was about to end and there was nothing to see, so they all dispersed.
The craftsmen then finished lighting the incense, and immediately the man in charge took charge, divided the work among everyone, and left with tools to go up to the roof of the temple.
Others closed the temple door and put repair signs on the inside.
Notice.
"Brother, our brothers who make a living as craftsmen in Tonglin County are all here today.
On weekdays, brothers give up on themselves, thinking that they can make a difference by building houses for people every day.
But I didn't expect that you summoned us last night to talk about today.
Your daily work will be put to great use.
You won’t really let your brothers come to build the temple, will you?”
A craftsman asked the leader in a low voice.
"What's the point of giving up on myself?
In order to lurk, I became an innkeeper worthy of the name.
Everyone's situation is not much different.
As the saying goes, it's better to be a craftsman if you have too many skills.
If it weren't for the fact that there are so many of us brothers.
Craftsman, I really didn’t know who to ask for help last night.”
The man in charge couldn’t help but sigh.
"Brother, I have asked the brothers to get in position according to the plan and we can start immediately," the craftsman said immediately.
"I'd better check every place in the courtyard carefully immediately.
If you find anything fishy, report it immediately," the leading man immediately ordered.
The craftsman nodded and immediately began to investigate in detail.
As the leading man said, the brothers he hired were really experts in building houses.
It took them less than an hour to turn the entire Luban Temple layout into a detailed sketch.
They even know a little bit about what kind of soil the entire Luban Temple is built on.
The craftsman showed the sketch he had just drawn to the leading man.
"Brothers are really doing what they want.
They drew a sketch in such a short time.
They have really become masters in building houses in so many years."
The leading man couldn't help but praise.
"Brother, all the brothers have checked the roof beams.
There is nothing strange.
It's just that the rammed earth of the foundation is a little strange," the craftsman whispered.
"Oh, what do you mean by the rammed earth of the foundation?"
the leading man asked immediately.
"Brother, come with me."
After saying this, the craftsman led the leading man out of the main hall.
One of their brothers had already removed a bottom stone from the steps of the main hall and was digging deeper with a shovel.
A deep pit had already been dug, but somehow the brother listened.

"Why did our brother stop?"
The leading man asked the craftsman next to him in confusion.
"Brother, you will know after you try it yourself."
The craftsman motioned to the brother who stopped and handed the shovel in his hand to the leading man.
The leading man picked up the shovel and dug deep into the pit.
But there seemed to be rocks at the bottom of the pit, making it impossible to proceed.
"It seems that it hit a rock, otherwise it wouldn't be so hard."
The craftsman shook his head repeatedly, not agreeing with him at all.
"Brother, what you shoveled just now is not a stone, but three-component soil."
The leading man was stunned for a moment.
Although he had been running Baojiang Inn in Tonglin County for many years and did not understand the meaning of building houses, he had heard of this Sanhe soil.
Because of its strong texture, it was often used to build city walls or build ancient tombs.
"You guys can't do it, can you?"
the leading man immediately asked.
"Brother, this is actually easy to do.
You only need one thing to try it out."
After the craftsman finished speaking, he motioned to the brothers to take out a small black clay pot from the bag he was carrying and bring it to him.
"Brother, what's in this little clay pot?"
the leader asked in surprise.
"Brother, it's nothing.
In fact, this is just a small jar of vinegar that we usually eat," the craftsman replied immediately.
"Why do you carry a small jar of vinegar with you?
We don't cook in this temple.
What's more, we are not old Westerners.
It would be difficult to live without vinegar for a meal."
The leading man asked with a surprised look on his face.
The craftsman then laughed.
"Hahahaha, brother, you are not talking about brothers carrying this small jar of vinegar with them, or they are worried about encountering the difficult-to-solve Sanhetu."
"I understand, you are trying to use this vinegar to prove to me that this place is a hard surface made of rammed soil."
The leading man suddenly realized.
"Yes, brother, you may have heard that no matter how solid the soil is, if it is soaked in vinegar, it will completely loosen over time.
If it is an ordinary stone, it will not be damaged."
After the craftsman finished speaking, he took the small pottery in his hand.
The vinegar in the jar was poured into the bottom of the pit.
After a while, he signaled the leading man to continue picking up the shovel and digging deeper.
A surprising scene happened.
The shovel was pushed down hard, and the bottom of the pit was no longer so solid.
When the shovel was taken out, the tip of the shovel was covered with dry soil with a slightly sour taste.
"Brothers, you are right.
There is indeed solid Sanhe soil below.
Could it be that this Luban Temple is built on a city wall or an ancient tomb?"
The leading man couldn't help but sigh, and a bigger question arose in his heart.
"Brother, we have never heard that there was a city wall here.
The city wall in Tonglin County is the only one nearby."
The craftsman racked his brains and never thought that there was an ancient city wall under the Luban Temple.

"Brother, what you said makes sense.
I have dealt with people from all religions and professions in Tonglin County, and I have never heard of a city wall here.
If it looks like this, the Luban Temple looks more like it was built on top of an ancient tomb."
The leading man made a bold guess.
"Brother, this is just a guess.
After all, we haven't got any solid evidence yet.
If there is an ancient tomb down there, the things the clan leader told us to look for are everywhere," the craftsman continued.
"Yes, even if there is an ancient tomb, it has nothing to do with what we are looking for.
Maybe all the secrets in this temple are all in the main hall.
Let the brothers focus on checking the main hall."
The leading man said with emotion, and immediately command.
"Brother, don't worry, brothers will not let go of any clues in the main hall," the craftsman just finished.
A brother in the main hall immediately came to report Wu Er, how are you doing?
