The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 311 Don't go, don't go, if you go any further you'll be lost

"Can I take a look first?"

Shen Le stared at the boat cautiously, not daring to agree, but also reluctant to refuse.

It was a small boat the size of a palm, with no cabin, no windows that could be opened or closed, no people sitting on the bow to watch the scenery, no tea stove, teapot, scroll, rosary, or any other small items.

At first glance, the repair seems to be very simple. Just saw two pieces of wood of the right size, stuff them into the gap, apply fish bladder glue, and then paint the repaired area, and you're done.

However, his intuition told him that it was not that simple, not at all that simple—

The true nature of this ship is definitely not what he saw!

Mr. Peng smiled and pushed the boat towards him, signaling him to look around. Shen Le didn't dare to take action yet, so he first sent out a little mental power and landed it on the bow...

The bow...

Where's the bow?!

The bow seemed to be thousands of miles away from him! It also seemed to be covered by a strong barrier. It was clearly there, but he couldn't get through it no matter what!
He sighed secretly, tried to concentrate, and used his mental power to move along the bow of the ship.

Not to mention the bow and hull, even the seemingly empty areas on the deck are covered with a layer of protective shield that is invisible to the naked eye but extremely powerful.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that the shield was not a simple layer of power, but a very delicate, interwoven web rooted in the hull.

With his current mental strength, let alone tearing the net apart and crashing into it, he couldn't even turn into a needle and poke it between the longitude and latitude of the net!
The only exceptions were the holes on the side and bottom of the ship. When I used my mental power to probe there, I found that there was indeed a gap in the shield, but I couldn't just probe in at will:
In fact, the feeling that this gap gave Shen Le reminded him of the thrill he felt when he was repairing the big tree in the jade disk, at the edge of the hole in the trunk.

That turbulence, that tearing feeling, that intuitive crisis, it's really similar, very similar...

Shen Le was a little unwilling to give up, so he infused his mental power into the copper piece and tried again relying on the bonus from the copper piece.

This time it wasn't much better. The copper piece could enhance his mental power, but it couldn't enhance his fine control.

More importantly, when it comes to repairing something, one cannot just rely on force to get by, one can only accumulate it bit by bit. Moreover, he couldn't even cheat by using copper pieces -

The copper piece didn't seem to be very interested in the boat in front of it...

"I'm afraid I can't fix it." He sighed deeply, his face full of reluctance, and raised his hand to make a "push the boat back" gesture:

"This thing is a bit difficult, and it's beyond my ability to handle. Maybe if I level up another 17 or 18 levels, it might be able to solve it?"

Mr. Peng's eyes showed some regret, but also some approval. He flicked his hand, took back the wooden boat, and took out his phone, calling up the WeChat interface:

"Then I'll ask you again in a year or two? Or, you can upgrade..."

His tone was a little hesitant, as if he was still a little unaccustomed to the fact that a living person sitting in front of him could also be "upgraded". However, after a pause, he continued to speak fluently:
"What do you need? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Shen Le hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and shook his head. The boss was willing to help because he was being polite. It was only their second meeting, so he couldn't just take advantage of the situation.

Besides, the boss's skills are too high-level. I may not be able to handle what he gives me...

The meal started at six in the afternoon and lasted until ten in the evening.

Shen Le rubbed his stomach and returned to the old house. He walked in the alley between the east and west courtyards for two hours and finally digested the food enough to fall asleep.

At 10 o'clock the next morning, he lazily lay in bed, not hungry at all, and didn't want to get up to eat breakfast. While he was still hesitating whether to get up, the boss's wife sent a WeChat message:

"Mr. Shen, I have received a new batch of things, all of which are collections of monsters from various places. Many of the old items are a bit damaged.

Would you like to come over and take a look to see if there is anything that interests you?"

what?
Have a new item to restore?

Shen Le jumped up from the bed. After staying in the secret realm for such a long time, he really wanted to build something else to change his mood:

The premise is not to exceed his strength by too much!
It is best to rely on looking up information and reading papers on your own to figure it out!
Now that school has started, hiring a teacher to provide personal guidance will interfere with the schoolwork of my younger classmates.

Well, unless the school project and the things that need to be repaired are moved here together, and the teacher runs back and forth, guiding him while guiding other students...

"Madam boss, your generosity is truly extraordinary!" Shen Le followed the lady boss through the restaurant's kitchen, stepped into the door made of a landscape painting, and was slightly surprised.

Starting from the door of the warehouse, there were more than a dozen rows of shelves, filled with all kinds of things I had never seen before. The big ones were porcelain bottles and Buddha statues, some as tall as one person and some as tall as two people;
There are small items like plates, dishes, various collectibles, and rolled-up scrolls of calligraphy and paintings. Dozens of them can be placed on one shelf.

All the items added together, there are at least one or two thousand pieces. Looking with spiritual eyes, almost every item exudes a faint glow:
"How much did you spend on these things? Or how many points did you get from the Special Affairs Bureau? I'll transfer them to you?" "Ah, no, no." The lady boss shook her hands:
"I didn't buy these. They were stored by someone else. The most I can do is provide a warehouse. If you want to repair them and it can be repaired, I will help you talk to the original owner!"

“Who is so generous?”

Shen Le glanced at the proprietress and received a mysterious smile. He stopped asking questions and walked slowly along the shelves, carefully looking at each item.

In the past, when he selected items to be repaired, he would rely on the aura of the item itself. If the aura was strong, then it was spiritual. If the aura was weak or even non-existent, even if it was repaired, the copper piece would probably not give much feedback.

However, the spirituality of this batch of things is so strong that it is almost visible to the naked eye. Selecting the things that can be repaired will test his eyesight...

Shen Le picked up one, put it down, picked up another, and put it down again. These things were of various kinds and extremely rich in categories, ranging from bronze ware to newspapers and comic books from the Republic of China period.
However, no matter what it is, it has one thing in common:
They all looked like they had been soaked in water, or even buried in mud for who knows how long...

"Tsk... Other things are fine, but how did this book from the Republic of China era get fished out of the water and still be intact?"

Shen Le wrapped the pages of the book with his mental power, turned a page carefully, and marveled at it.

There are obvious marks of water, silt, and even water plants and algae on the pages.

Then, the pages were basically flat, without too many wrinkles or adhesions. It was obvious that they had been well repaired after being fished out...

Apart from being dirty, the book had no particular damage, and its spirituality was not touched. Shen Le put the book down and took a step forward:
“This bottle is so magical…”

The huge, heavy porcelain vase, more than one meter tall, with colorful colors on it, immediately reminded Shen Le of the famous "Qing Qianlong Various Glaze Colored Large Vase":
Although it is not as beautiful as that bottle, the 86-cm-high bottle combines more than a dozen glazing methods, combining high and low temperature glazes and colors in one, but the complexity of the colors is also impressive...

Moreover, the spirituality on this bottle was so bright that Shen Le felt a little blinded. He didn't even need to go to the side, just three steps away, he could hear it howling:
[Save it...save it...save the child...]

Shen Le walked around the bottle with great interest, looking from top to bottom and from bottom to top. All he needed to do was find a selfie stick and reach into the bottle mouth to take a picture.

After reading it, I still sighed with regret:

"Oh... I can't figure it out..."

A huge piece of the bottle mouth was knocked off, and there were two big holes on the bottle body. The glaze on it was scattered here and there, either damaged or peeling off.

As for the shell snails clinging everywhere, that was no problem at all - Shen Le looked left and right along the cracks on the bottle, and felt that if it weren't for these little lives, the bottle would have been broken into pieces long ago...

To restore it, the layers of raised glaze cannot be blurred with plaster and then painted on.

Shen Le estimated that he would have to burn a new one anyway, cut off the corresponding parts, and stick them on the bottle:

But, how to fire such a variety of glazes with such high difficulty?
Is this asking for his death?

Shen Le walked around the porcelain vase three times, sighed countless times, and finally moved forward. His eyes were attracted again and again, and he looked away regretfully again and again:

This tapestry screen is very beautiful - I won't repair it! I won't repair it! If I repair textiles again, I will be a dog!

This red lacquer box is also very beautiful - no need to repair it! No need to repair it! I have already repaired my dressing box, I don't want to repair another lacquerware!

This fan is also very beautiful - no repair! No repair! This thing is inlaid with tortoise shell!
Where can I find a hawksbill turtle to fill the gap in this day and age? Can I find an old turtle and ask him to cut a piece from his carapace?
As he walked, Shen Le suddenly shuddered and felt a gust of cold wind blowing behind him.

He turned around suddenly and stared behind him, and saw a headless ghost huddled in the shadows, crying sadly:

"Give me back my head..."

"Give me back my head..."

"Give me my head back..."

Is this drowned ghost also a headless ghost?
Shen Le took a step forward out of curiosity. At this step, the voice in his ears instantly changed its lines:
"Don't go, don't go, if you go any further you'll be lost..."

"Don't leave yet..."

Shen Le grinned and touched his neck. I just don't believe it!
Here is such a great head, who can take it away?
He took the second step forward. Under the dim light, the headless ghost's entire body came into view:
It sat upright in a shrine, surrounded by a small group of various small Buddha statues. Its body was dull, mottled and broken.

It was actually a Thousand-Armed Buddha statue without a head and half of its arms were missing!
