The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 282 Why do you think that Alloy Boss would think of dismantling the painting?
The army was ambushed and the commander fell off his horse.

This extremely bad situation, the surrounding Ming army was already terrified, and they fought desperately with only their blood and courage.

At the critical moment, a strange beast appeared on the battlefield, carrying the commander on its back and charging forward with all its might.

As it charged forward, it opened its mouth wide, and the surrounding swords, spears, and halberds turned into a whirlwind of steel, pouring into its huge mouth endlessly!
Seeing this scene, all the Ming troops on the battlefield were surprised and happy, and their morale was greatly boosted.

They shouted loudly, quickly formed a formation, brandished their sabers, raised their three-barreled muskets, followed the commander, and gathered into a mighty torrent.

At the same time, the morale of the Japanese pirates on the opposite side plummeted, their flags waved, and they retreated like a tide.

The Ming army was about to give chase when suddenly several men in white robes and tall crowns, holding folding fans, appeared among the pirates and began to dance in a strange rhythm.

Before the Ming army's attacking arrows could get close, a roar suddenly sounded from among the men, and a strange beast that looked like a snake but not a snake, with many heads, rose into the air and swooped down with black clouds!

"I wipe!"

Shen Le cursed. The Japanese pirates had no moral principles! They actually brought out their Yamata no Orochi!
In a battlefield dominated by ordinary people, wouldn't the Yamata no Orochi just kill people indiscriminately?

The Yamata no Orochi's attack was violent and fierce. As soon as it appeared, it set off a whirlwind on the battlefield. Black wind, flames, yellow sand, mixed with a strong smell of sulfur, covered the entire battlefield.

In the black wind, several pairs of red eyes like lanterns lit up, and they rushed down with the whirlwind, not distinguishing friend from foe. The Japanese pirates, the Korean soldiers, and the Ming army all screamed in this black wind and strange fire.

"You stand back!"

The young alloy boss also felt the power of the Yamata no Orochi. He shuddered, threw his friend off its back, and ran forward.

While running hard, he howled towards the sky, and his body expanded rapidly, from six feet to eight feet, to ten feet, and finally, it turned into a strange beast about ten feet tall and more than three feet long.

His whole body reflects metallic luster, he looks majestic and murderous, and with one kick, the mountains shake and the earth trembles!

Shen Le was stunned watching from behind. Is this a tank?

This is definitely a tank, right?

Such a fierce tank, charging at full speed, even a semi-trailer with full insurance can't handle it!!!
The Alloy Boss's transformation was not over yet. As he ran, weapons, armor fragments, arrows, and all kinds of metals gathered around him quickly.

Whatever it can eat is eaten, and whatever it cannot eat for the time being is attached to its body, turning it into a metal hedgehog with branches and twigs.

The tip of each blade was flashing with a sharp cold light, which was flickering, as if adding a lightsaber to the blade. Just by looking at it, Shen Le felt as if his eyes were stinging.

It crashed headfirst into the black wind, and wherever it passed, blood flew and bones and flesh turned into mud!

"Ow—"

"Ouch——"

"Roar!!!"

The roar grew farther and farther away, stirring up the black wind.

The Yamata no Orochi no longer cared about attacking the soldiers. It leaned down, and its eight huge bodies wrapped around the black wind and flames, spinning rapidly around the alloy boss, constantly tightening, wrapping around, and wearing away.

In the black wind, there was a series of creaking, teeth-grinding sounds, accompanied by the sounds of steel breaking and flying, which made the entire battlefield tremble with fear.

Gradually, the two armies separated, and everyone's attention was focused on the madly spinning Yamata no Orochi and the metal monsters roaring and charging in the black wind.

"Back off!"

"Back off!"

The generals on both sides shouted, scolded, and gathered their troops.

Shen Le really wanted to get closer to watch the monster battle, but his memory was locked next to the general. He could only jump onto the saddle and stand on tiptoe to watch.

The thrilling battle lasted for nearly an hour. The black wind carried the strange beast farther and farther away, and finally, it sank into the river and disappeared...

In this battle, the Japanese pirates set an ambush with tens of thousands of troops, intending to annihilate the 5,000-strong Ming army. However, in the end, the net was broken but the fish was not dead.

Both sides withdrew their troops, set up camps a dozen miles apart, and reorganized their troops. The middle-aged general counted the casualties and comforted the soldiers. After all the work was completed, he stood alone outside the tent and looked to the south:
"Xiao Jin..."

How is Xiao Jin?

Although he looked very strong when he rushed forward, it was obviously a temporary outburst!

Because only by bursting out can we resist the Black Wind Multi-Headed Monster. If the power of the burst is used up, it will be bad! So many people, tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, one person with a sword, even if Xiao Jin is invulnerable, he can still be chopped to pieces!
"Xiao Jin, how are you now...where are you...are you injured? Do you want me to find a way to pick you up?"

"Huh, huh... I'm so tired..."

The bushes beside him suddenly moved, and a small creature the size of a cat crawled over. The middle-aged general was overjoyed:
"Xiao Jin!"

"Huh... it's me." Xiao Jin collapsed to the ground, panting. There were shiny wounds all over his body, all of which were traces of metal being cut by a knife.
"That guy is shameless! He fought me, and when he couldn't beat me, he dragged me into the water! I sank right down! He even asked those guys to come and chop me up—

Fortunately, I fought to the death to kill those who summoned him and sent him away, otherwise, I would have died here today..."

The middle-aged general had no time to express his condolences, and hurriedly handed the ornaments on the golden helmet, the golden rings on the scabbard, and even the golden animal masks and golden swallow mouths on the armor to Xiao Jin's mouth one by one.

Xiao Jin devoured the food voraciously for a long time. His body grew from the size of a cat to the size of a Chinese rural dog. The shiny knife marks disappeared, and he collapsed to the ground in satisfaction.
"Huh... I finally caught my breath. Hey, tell Jinzhu for me that I'm exhausted and can't protect her for the time being. I need to find a place to eat..."

"Where are you going? Do you want me to send someone to greet the locals?"

The middle-aged general squatted down and rubbed his friend's head and touched his ears. Xiao Jin turned over on the spot, with his four legs facing the sky, and asked his friend to rub his belly:
"No need! This time when I went to Japan, I found out that they have a very large silver mine. It's really large! There's also a lot of gold! This time when I go there, I want to eat until I reach adulthood before coming back!"

The silver mine of Japan... Iwami Silver Mine? Shen Le smiled slightly.

That huge silver mine was said to have produced one-third of the world's silver production at the time, comparable to the Potosi silver mine in South America.

And as we all know, silver mines are usually accompanied by gold mines. With both gold and silver, such a large output is enough for Xiao Jin to eat his fill!

"you……"

The middle-aged general was obviously worried. He rubbed Xiao Jin's belly and pressed its paws:
"Is it okay for you to go over like this? Will it alert that guy today? That's his lair..."

"It's okay!" Xiao Jin lazily turned over again and asked his friend to scratch his back:

"I became small and sneaked over quietly. That big guy could only float high up or hide in the mud. I shrank into the mine and he couldn't hit me!"

No matter how worried the middle-aged general was, he could only watch his friend run into the darkness and disappear.

After this battle, the Japanese pirates' arrogance was finally suppressed, and they withdrew their troops and started a confrontation.

In the spring of the following year, he sent his younger brother and another deputy general, led by a suicide squad of 700 brave warriors, to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese pirates' granary, burning hundreds of thousands of stones of grain.

In this campaign, the Ming army plundered thousands of miles of territory, swept across the peninsula, and recovered three of the most important cities—two of which were the capitals of South and North Korea in later generations...

After this battle, the middle-aged general was rewarded for his meritorious service and was full of vigor and vitality. However, he never saw Jinzhu again, nor did he see his friend Xiaojin again.

He was transferred back to the place where his family originated and took over his father's command in garrisoning Liaodong.

Seeing his temples gradually turning gray, and his power in swinging the sword gradually weakening, he couldn't help but think of what Jinzhu once said to him:
"I want to go to that place with you..."

"It is said that there is a secret place of immortals there...Some people have obtained precious things from there, or can achieve immortality..."

I want to live forever with you...

Now, I am a general of the Ming Dynasty, and you are the female leader of the grassland. Our statuses are so different, and it is impossible for us to be together.
But what if you become an immortal?
What if you live forever?

If we get the secret of immortality, when we are eighty or a hundred years old...

Perhaps, we can abandon our identities and, like the immortals, change a set of clothes or a walking stick into our own image, be buried in the coffin instead of ourselves, and live freely outside the world?
As the defender of Liaodong, his hope was almost the command of the entire Liaodong. As long as he quietly revealed a little idea, someone would report to him soon:
"Sir, there is news... A visitor found a strange place in the old forest..."

He didn't have to go alone in the first round, the second round, or even the third round. His trusted generals and extraordinary people would lead the way for him.

Only after he found out the location of the secret realm did he decide to set out in person. Before setting out, he used every method he could think of to leave a path for Xiao Jin and Jin Zhu to enter the secret realm:
The green landscape depicted the happy times he and Jinzhu had spent together, and the group of knights holding red flags marked the way into the mountains.

The gold foil in the hollow red sandalwood scroll indicated the detailed route to the outer perimeter of the secret realm after entering the mountain;

The decryption of the formation on the paper is the last secret. Only by dismantling the scroll can we find the way to enter the secret realm...

"Xiao Jin...if you can come back in time, if you can see...please bring this scroll to Jinzhu, and you and she, and she and you, can solve this secret together..."

Perhaps, Jinzhu could catch up and achieve immortality with him;
And can Xiao Jin return to his hometown as he wishes and reunite with his family?

The memory ends here. Shen Le stood in front of the workbench blankly, unable to complain:
"…Why do you think that such a strange beast would think of removing the backing paper by mounting a painting?"
