Craftsman, Start by Putting Together the Luban Lock

Bailitu is a down-and-out restorer of ancient buildings and the last "locksmith" under Lu Ban's sect. In his eyes, the world is not bricks and mortar, but a huge mechanism made of countless precise mortise and tenon joints. A restoration of an ancient temple at the foot of Mount Tai unexpectedly triggered the "dimension lock" that had disappeared for thousands of years, and Bailitu was involved in a game of hundreds of industries that spanned time and space. The mysterious organization "Mo Fang" appears, trying to reorganize the world with the golden ratio of absolute rationality; in the ancient land of Qilu, the disappeared folk taboos are "awakening" one after another: the bloody puppets in the Zibo Kiln, the giant mecha in the clouds of Weifang, the text field in Qufu Mochi... When modern cities collide with ancient taboos, Baili Tu holds a black iron ruler and peels away the cracks in reality. He not only wants to repair the collapsed buildings, but also repair the broken civilization. "Structure is truth, repair is battle." In this million-word epic of Qi and Lu Zhiyi, let's see how the heirs of hundreds of craftsmen used an iron ruler and a wooden lock to lock down the troubled times and reconstruct the world.
