The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 317 My Titanium Dog Eyes—Why are these things placed in the Buddhist shrine?
"From now on, I, Shen Le, will no longer have to worry about cleaning when I restore cultural relics!"

"No matter how fragile the artifact is, or how deep the stain is, I am not afraid! I will sweep it over with a cleaning spell and it will be clean!"

After a round of high-intensity training, during which even the old window screens in every room of the mansion were cleaned up, Shen Le finally gained confidence and reached out to the old objects.

In order to repair the scroll, I used the remaining ancient paintings and spread them out one by one on the table. I threw a cleaning technique and observed it with a handheld microscope:
"…The force was too strong and the fibers were torn. I need to be more careful next time…"

Throw another round and observe again:
"The force was too weak and it didn't clean it thoroughly... About 50% of the stain is still attached to the drawing paper..."

Throw another round and observe again:
"The cleaning is not deep enough, there are still stains inside the fibers..."

Throw another round and observe again:
"The dust should have been removed, but another yellow stain, which I suspect is grease or something, has not been removed. This spell needs to be optimized and adjusted..."

With the help of a microscope, he worked hard to adjust his spells, from grand and sweeping to gentle and delicate.

One-shot cleaning technique, even if it can only clean 1 square centimeter, can ensure that the fabric is not damaged and can also clean deep stains inside the fibers.

After becoming proficient, gradually expand to 4 square centimeters, 10 square centimeters, 10*10 centimeters, 20*20 centimeters——

Finally, with a single sweep of the cleaning technique, the entire ancient painting was spotlessly clean. Except for the dullness caused by oxidation of the paper and silk over a long period of time, all the dust, cobwebs, and various dirt disappeared.

"Alright! Now we can start working on the shrine!"

Shen Le clapped his hands, straightened up, and smiled brightly. He walked to the side of the shrine, first calmed his breath and concentrated, and cast three consecutive cleaning spells, sweeping over the wooden boards on the left, right, and back of it;

Another cleaning spell rolled over its top plate;

Turning to the front, I just picked up the handheld microscope and prepared to challenge the silk painting on the shrine, when the kids in the studio started shouting:

【I want one too! I want one too! 】

...Little oil lamp, if you turn your lightning ball into static electricity mode and spin your whole body around, you would have cleaned yourself up long ago, okay?
There's no need to make such a fuss!

【I haven't cleaned for a long time! 】

Lan Zhuang, is it possible that you have always been covered in a glass cover and do not need any cleaning at all?
[That’s right! I go in and out of mutton restaurants every day, and the smell of mutton is all over me! ]

Ah, Pinocchio's request really makes sense. However, Shen Le sniffed and wanted to sigh immediately:

Where is the smell of mutton?
You are clean and fresh, without any odor! The lady boss and the flower fairies take you in and out, they should protect you well!

He was still trying to argue with Pinocchio when a few soft buzzing sounds came from the next room and another voice started shouting. The tone was clear, crisp, urgent and fast:
[I am covered in sawdust all day long! And my friends are also covered in sawdust! ]

Ah...little Modou...little Modou has worked so hard.

When the family was short of money, he worked diligently and hard. Now that the family was no longer short of money, he still carried his carpentry tools with him every day and worked diligently and hard.

The other spirits were all comfortably covered in glass covers, with constant temperature and humidity, and all kinds of comfort. Only the small ink fountain never stopped working...

Shen Le wanted to suppress these little guys, but when Xiao Modou spoke, he softened his heart. Just as he was about to move over, a clear female voice started to shout:

[And me! I haven't washed my clothes in a long time! ]

Red Wedding Dress... Is it possible that you are not "this unwashed dress"? Your true self is just a dress, a phoenix crown, and three weapons...

Also, since the restoration was completed, you have been kept in a constant temperature and humidity chamber. Do you have any cleaning needs?
You are actually just vying for favor!

Compete for favor!
【I! 】

【I! 】

【Me me me! 】

Shen Le was overwhelmed by their noise. He calmed himself down, and shouted:
"Stop arguing! Everyone has it!"

【I'll go first! 】

[No, I should go first! I'm the dirtiest!]

【I have the least amount of cleaning to do! 】

...Sure enough, there is no limit to spoiling children. Shen Le made a decision in a straightforward manner:

"No one is allowed to make noise! Line up one by one in the order in which you arrived at this house! Xiaoling, you go first!"

The little wooden puppet ran over happily, jumped in front of Shen Le, lifted up her skirt, spun around, and made a pink finger gesture.

He was not satisfied with this, so he let out a long, drawn-out "hum"...

"Okay, stop showing off." Shen Le rubbed her head and carefully checked her body to make sure he found every stain. He raised his hand and used a cleaning spell to pat it. The light was rolling, Xiao Ling raised her hands high and spun quickly:
[Yeah! I'm clean now! Smooth and slim!]

"..."

Pinocchio, what on earth do you see every day?

Slippery and enjoyable, how many years ago was this advertisement? Also, what does it mean to look thin? Do you still need to look thin? I can't cut off a few more knives from your puppet body!
He cleaned the small inkwells and oil lamps one by one, and regardless of the cries and requests of the little ones to keep him, he resolutely ran to the east road and cast the cleaning spell on the doll cabinet.

The little dolls were extremely happy, and they gathered around him and danced around him. Almost immediately, anxious shouts rang out in the camera:

"What happened? What happened? ...Mr. Shen? Please don't interfere with the work!"

"...Is it possible that the little ones also need a rest...Okay, okay, five minutes? No, three minutes? Three minutes should be fine!"

He squatted at the door and took pictures of the cleaning skills of the little dolls one by one, from the elderly, to the adult men and women, to the little girl dancing in circles with her skirt, to the kitten who was indomitable and kept trying to jump onto his knees.

After taking a full circle, the camera emitted another warning:
"Mr. Shen, please don't enter the room! Please don't step on the electronic map!!!"

Uh...okay.

Although this room has its doors and windows closed all year round and is ventilated by air conditioning, so there is basically no dust, the doll cabinet still needs to be cleaned.

As for the electronic map covering the entire room, since you don't want me to touch it, I won't touch it. Anyway, it will affect the efficiency of work if it is covered with dust, and you are responsible for cleaning it up...

He clung to the door frame, half of his body was leaning inside, and he first extended his mental power as far as possible. He traced the entire cabinet, confirmed all the details, and then cast a cleaning spell -

very good!

Pretty!

When I was repairing the doll cabinet before, I used fish bladder glue to glue it on bit by bit, and none of the warped and peeling paint was damaged!
Shen Le gave himself a thumbs up, rubbed the heads of the little dolls one by one, hugged them, and praised them a lot.

After returning to the studio, I took photos of the cleaning techniques for the other little guys one by one, and then started to work on the portrait on the front of the shrine:

This time, his work efficiency plummeted immediately. When casting the cleaning spell on the little guys, basically one spell corresponded to one weapon spirit, and he would cast one if possible, never two;
When dealing with portraits, Shen Le held a magnifying glass in his left hand and a handheld microscope in his right hand. Each cleaning technique would never exceed 10 square centimeters.

After each shot, the white paper underneath would be replaced, and a number would be written on the paper to mark where the shot fell, so as to collect any paint powder that might fall...

The entire shrine is 160 centimeters high and 90 centimeters wide. Each cleaning technique covers 10 square centimeters, and it takes one minute, so it takes 1440 minutes, or a total of 24 hours.

Shen Le worked eight hours a day for three days before he cleaned the surface of the painting as well as the dust, dirt, algae fragments and other debris that had seeped into the silk.

Then, carefully pry open the crack in the painting silk, use your mental power to move the paste and fill the crack.

The damaged parts are reinforced with patching silk, and then silk fibroin solution is dripped on them, and the growth magic is used to make the warp and weft threads grow together again and become one.

"Alright! Time to start the full color!"

Shen Le is ready to try. The heavy-color painting, which is mainly made of mineral pigments, has become granular after years of weathering. Shen Le first applies a thin layer of yellow gelatin on it to fix the remaining color;

Then, crush the mineral pigment into fine powder, mix it with yellow gelatin, and then carefully apply strokes and fill in the fallen color on top.

Fortunately, Buddhist paintings are very regular and symmetrical. As for the missing parts, Shen Le can just look at the other side of the painting and fill them in based on his experience...

"Okay... Now we can open the cabinet..."

Shen Le put down his writing brush, clasped his hands together, and bowed to the shrine while mumbling something. It was not to worship Buddha, but——

"Please, Bodhisattva, the things in the shrine should not be too difficult to repair... Please don't make them too difficult to repair... Please, please, please..."

This shrine is miraculously not a cabinet with doors that can be opened and locked. The moment the shrine was assembled, it seemed that it had no intention of being opened:

The whole thing is fastened with mortise and tenon joints, and it fits perfectly, and is even glued. If a novice were to take it apart, they wouldn't know where to start!
Fortunately, Shen Le had a universal cheat. Before he started to dismantle the cabinet, he had taken an X-ray, and the mortise and tenon structure inside the cabinet was clearly visible.

He held a rubber hammer and tapped it lightly, patiently pulling out a wooden stick, then another, then another, and then a piece of wood...

The internal structure of the shrine was finally completely revealed in front of Shen Le. Shen Le took a quick glance and covered his eyes, screaming:
"Oh my God—it's fatal—"

This is not what I want to see!

Help, this is really not something I want to fix!

Why do some people put these things in the Buddhist shrine?
