The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 189: Weapon Spirits: Are We Sirs or Ladies? (Seeking a guaranteed monthly ticket) (Cat, Cat, Mouse, Ten Thousand Rewards and More)
Although the talismans drawn on the dressing box were weak and short-lived, they at least solved the problem of creating something from nothing.

Shen Le stretched out his hand with a little joy and a little annoyance. Before he touched it, the pattern had already dissipated in the air, leaving only the black cinnabar powder falling to the ground...

Ah, I also want to try and see how to increase its power...

Shen Le silently retracted his hand, took a vacuum cleaner, and quickly sucked up the powder on the ground. Then he quickly stepped forward and patted the makeup box:
"You're amazing! You're so much better than me! I failed so many times, but you succeeded in just one try!"

Words of praise poured out freely. The makeup box was shining with colorful light, several times brighter than before, as if it was very happy to be praised.

Shen Le praised it for a long time before asking seriously:
"By the way, do you have a name? Do you need me to help you choose one? - Or, should I send a message to Teacher Lin and ask her to help you choose a name?"

【name……】

The colorful light on the dressing box flowed a little slower, as if it was pondering and thinking. Shen Le waited quietly for a long time, and felt the thoughts coming from it:

[No need... the owner has passed away, so I'll just come up with a name myself...]

Wow, this dressing box is really spiritual. Look at the doll cabinet next door. Whenever Shen Le is at home, he goes to ask it once a day, but they still haven't come to a conclusion!
However, the reason why the dressing box doesn't want Professor Lin to name it is that in its view, Ms. Perrin is the only owner?

The relationship between an artifact and its owner is truly amazing. Even though it has been in Professor Lin’s hands for decades and has been carefully preserved for decades, it still
[My master is Peilan... I, I'll be called Lanzhuang? Okay?]

"Okay! Then I'll call you Lan Zhuang! Zheng Mo, Qing Deng, come and meet our new partner, it's called Lan Zhuang... Eh? Are you a lady or a gentleman?"

Do I need a gender?

Lan Zhuang was a little confused. The colorful light on her body was flowing, sometimes red, pink, orange, sometimes blue, brown, and black.

Shen Le saw this and could only sigh that society's gender perception of color has even been passed on to dressing boxes.

Obviously all these colors are in the eyeshadow palette, but he gave them all to Lan Zhuang. Lan Zhuang can even mix two colors suitable for different genders!
If I had a gender, I would probably be a woman.

After all, my master is a lady, and I am her dressing box... A dressing box is used for ladies to put on makeup...】

The voice was faint, a little confused, and a little unwilling. Shen Le felt that he could understand her thoughts:

If Ms. Perrin had been a man, perhaps she would have been more determined and committed to her ideals more passionately?
She may not live to be seventy or eighty years old, and she may not enjoy a peaceful old age, but her life will be brighter and more passionate?
But Lanzhuang, your future is not limited to making up for women. You can now draw talismans, and you will have a broader future and a richer life!
He organized his words, wanting to have a good talk with Lan Zhuang. Before he could say anything, the little inkstone and the little oil lamp arrived, chattering and asking:

[Am I a lady or a gentleman? ]

【What about me? 】

you……

You two, one is serious and the other is playful, so probably, you should both be boys, right?

Shen Le thought silently. Before he could answer, they started quarreling among themselves:
[I should be the gentleman, right? After all, I am the inkstone! The inkstone can drive away evil spirits. How can it drive away evil spirits if it is not masculine? And the lion on my body is also a male lion! ]

[Not necessarily, maybe you are a lady? After all, your owner is also a lady, and you were made by the male owner and given to the female owner as a proposal gift! ]

[You are a lady! - Your power is electric current. Alternating current goes back and forth, constantly changing direction. How can you be a gentleman!]

[You're talking nonsense! I always throw lightning straight over! It crackles! It goes straight over! It never goes back and forth!]

[Then you are also a lady! Electric current is the flow of electrons, and aren’t electrons all negative? Oh~~~Ms. Qingdeng~~~Ms. Qingdeng~~~]

Shen Le was overwhelmed and deeply regretted that he shouldn't have brought up this topic. Why does a weapon spirit need a gender?
They are not humans. In human society, gender is needed to distinguish each other and establish social rules.

There are several weapon spirits that have not yet transformed into human form and are moving in their original forms. What gender do they have?

They don’t need to go to the toilet, don’t need to get married, and there is no problem with having children!
They don’t need to follow the example of some countries now, which have come up with dozens of genders! ——By the way, how many gender identifications do those countries have now?

"Okay! Don't worry about the lady or the gentleman!" Shen Le raised his voice:
"Everyone, get to know each other first, then I'll take Lan Zhuang over to meet other friends!"

After the introduction, Shen Le finally had time to discuss the issue of talismans with Lan Zhuang. Lan Zhuang could use cinnabar ink to draw patterns, but the power could only be condensed for a short time and could not be maintained for too long.
Shen Le wanted to try to take on this power, but when he stretched out his hand and held the pattern, the cinnabar ink disappeared into ash in his palm;

He tried to have Lan Zhuang draw the pattern directly on the yellow paper, and it was indeed successful, but the power of the talisman on the yellow paper was extremely weak and could be completely ignored;
He then tried to have Lan Zhuang draw the pattern on the yellow paper, and then he held the yellow paper and carefully guided the heat flow into it...

"puff!"

Oops, the guidance failed. The power left by Lan Zhuang on the yellow paper conflicted with the heat flow in my body and started to burn!

When it burned, the talisman was not triggered but shattered directly. Lan Zhuang's previous efforts were completely wasted...

"Uh, could you draw another one for me? I'm probably just not very skilled..." Shen Le shamelessly handed over another piece of yellow paper. Lan Zhuang was easy to talk to and quickly drew the talisman. Shen Le tried again, and it failed again. He tried again, and it failed again...

[I’m tired... I can’t do it anymore, I need to take a rest...]

After drawing about ten pictures, the brilliance on the surface of the orchid makeup dimmed and no longer shone. Shen Le quickly stopped:
"Thank you for your hard work! Have a good rest! Do you need any help? Do you need me to set up a jade spirit gathering array like the one Zheng Mo has?"

[Okay... this is the best...]

Shen Le quickly took out his share of jade, adjusted it repeatedly according to Lan Zhuang's experience, and set up a small spirit gathering array for her.

Looking at the surface of the dressing box, the light resumed its slow flow. He took a breath and began to study the two new talismans on his own:
It seems impossible to trace the yellow paper with heat flow. But what if we stick the yellow paper on the skin and then let the heat flow penetrate all the way?

Shen Leping stretched out his left palm, picked up the yellow paper with his right hand, and slapped it flat on the back of his left hand. Calming his mind, concentrating his attention, and inducing the heat flow to circulate in his left hand, adjusting the direction——

Three, two, one!

The whole skin exudes heat at the same time!

The moment the heat seeped into the yellow paper, the cinnabar ink that drew the pattern greedily absorbed this power.

Shen Le could even feel that the entire pattern was like a pond, with drizzle falling and the water level in the pond rising steadily and rapidly.

One millimeter, one centimeter, ten centimeters...

Spring grass grows in the pond, and birds sing in the willows in the garden...

The clear water rose to the shore, rippling gently, even hitting the roots of the spring grass along the shore. Shen Le came back to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, and stimulated the power above:

This time, a strange wave surged into his body. Shen Le instantly felt that he was becoming more and more alert, and everything that happened around him rushed into his perception:

In the next yard, the doll in the doll cabinet jumped onto the map, stood up, fell down, stood up, and fell down.

This happened again and again, then he picked up a telescopic pen and drew a circle at a specific location.

Shen Le noticed that the size of this circle was accurate to one side of the intersection, and did not exceed 5 square meters at most.

Obviously, the news will be immediately passed to the relevant departments, someone will check the surveillance at this location, and someone will go out to deal with it. The more accurate, the higher the effect of the treatment.

In another yard, A-lu was swaying its branches, making rustling sounds. A nest of birds wanted to build a nest on it, but it ruthlessly drove them out:
[There are peregrine falcons flying around here! Don't stay here! Go away! Go away! ]

Uh...could Lao You also eat ordinary mortal birds?
Is he not so picky about food?

Or is it a five-hundred-year-old peregrine falcon monster, which would cause great pressure to ordinary birds even if it just passed by?

If you open your senses a little further, you will smell an enchanting fragrance coming from not too far away.

Shen Le took a deep sniff and almost immediately identified the type of aroma:

Hand-pulled lamb...

Braised lamb with rock sugar, a little pepper, chili, ginger and grass fruit...

These spices are probably specially grown. They are different from ordinary spices and have a certain spiritual aura...

This is so refreshing, could it be lotus root and yam fried with black fungus? Maybe some lily bulbs were added... It tastes very refreshing, I can order a plate for lunch today...

Of course, the most obvious thing in the perception is the breath of demons. Shen Le does not need to observe or listen deliberately, one by one, each existence will naturally light up in his perception:

There is one at the front desk on the first floor, two in the lobby, moving... There is one in the kitchen... There are two more on the second floor, one of them came down...

They all smell very fresh and comfortable, it must be a flower demon! Well, there is another one on the third floor, the smell is particularly strong, it must be the boss lady! Hey, the perception is cut off?

Did the landlady catch me snooping around and cover the entire building?

Shen Le was not disappointed. He could sense the presence of the monster from several hundred meters away. This warning range was already quite large, definitely enough!

Let me see, how far can I feel——

Hey, what is that sharp, slightly confusing thing coming towards me?
It’s getting closer so fast!
　Please give me the guaranteed monthly ticket meow meow meow!
