The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 351 Shen Le: The end of practicing bamboo flute is to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots?

"long!"

"long!"

"Long, long!"

"Alas, it's crooked again..."

Shen Le plunged headfirst into the pit of competing with the flute. After repairing two bamboo flutes, he was so ruthless that he simply went out to the commercial street and dragged a bamboo chair and a bamboo bookshelf:
These two pieces of bamboo furniture are made of ordinary green bamboo, which is sawed, broken into shape, coated with a layer of varnish, and simply nailed together.

A bamboo chair has at least 20 to 30 bamboo strips, and a bamboo bookshelf has at least 40 to 50 bamboo strips.

Just take off any strip or break a little bit of it and use it to practice magic.

If you practice correctly, bamboo strips will naturally grow smoothly, and bamboo chairs and bookshelves will be able to stand horizontally and vertically, making them comfortable to sit on, lean on, and put things on.

If you practice it incorrectly, the four legs will be of different lengths, causing the chair to wobble. The bamboo strips in the middle will also be of different lengths, causing the seat, backrest, and frame to be uneven.

In this way, the effect of the spell can be seen at a glance, and the control can be modified accordingly, which is much better than grinding on the bamboo flute bit by bit...

Shen Le took down a bamboo stick, split a thin crack in the middle, poured water mixed with nutrient solution on it, let it absorb it slightly, and then cast a spell on it.

Green light was everywhere, the bamboo branches shook and grew rustlingly.

“Stop! Stop! Stop!!!”

Even if the spell is stopped immediately, the bamboo stick will continue to grow. It doesn't even need to grow into a bamboo tube shape, nor does it need to return to a round shape. It just keeps growing and growing:

It stretched more than half a foot in one breath. As it stretched, it extended to the left and right, and from a two-finger-wide flat bamboo piece, it instantly became a semicircle, and even a flat membrane grew at the bamboo joint.

Although it is incomplete and only a semicircle, it already looks somewhat concrete and detailed...

Shen Le looked at the bamboo strip that had been stretched twice as long, the membrane in the middle, and then the small bamboo branch that was eager to grow out from the edge of the bamboo node. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Using the spells of "healing" and "growth" to repair the flute and to repair the silk requires two completely different levels of control!

He used this spell to repair silk and was already able to do it with ease. He could just connect one silk thread without having to connect a second one.

As a result, when the same magic falls on rice paper, green sprouts will grow on the paper; when it falls on bamboo, the bamboo will grow a long section...

So, this is the difference between silk, which has no cells at all and is just coagulated protein, and bamboo, which has cells but the cells are dead?

This spell has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and can restore the activity of dead cells.

Bamboo grows the fastest. New bamboo shoots can often grow several feet high overnight. With just one spell, wouldn't they grow rapidly?
It seems that the output range of this spell still needs to be controlled more...

He removed the second bamboo stick and did the same thing, performing the same spell. This time, he adjusted his breath beforehand, centered his mind, and breathed in and out slowly.

Move a strand of magic power to your fingertips, and then divide it into two, one into two, one into two...

When he couldn't divide it any further, he pointed to the bamboo stick and touched it lightly:
"Healing!"

"stop!"

This time it was better. The bamboo stick in my hand was only stretched a little more than three inches, and it did not grow into a semicircle, but instead stretched out into one-third of a circle.

The membrane at the bamboo joints did not grow out, and no bamboo branches appeared outside. Obviously, there was some progress in this spell, but not much...

Come again!

"Healing!"

"stop!"

It got a little better, but it still stuck out two inches. It was still a long way from what Shen Le needed, to close the cracks in the bamboo strips without increasing the length, widening, or changing the structure...

Shen Le patiently tried again and again. After trying the broken bamboo strips on the bamboo chair, he split the four legs, backrest, and four sides of the chair, and continued to try out the magic.

I tried from morning to night, and saw my proficiency in the spell increasing rapidly, but I still couldn't get past the last point.

No matter how he tried to gather his strength, something would always grow out of the bamboo stick. Shen Le tried countless times, using various methods:

Cut the power of a healing spell in half, then in half again, and then in half again;

Divide it into ten parts, divide one of the ten parts into ten more parts, and take out the tiny bit that can only connect two silk threads, and throw it into the gap between the bamboo strips...

However, no matter what you do, the bamboo sticks either show no reaction at all, or they grow rapidly!

"Oh, take a rest, take a rest..."

Shen Le sighed, raised his hands above his head, and drew seven or eight circles on his forehead with his index finger before he stood up to clean up the mess:

He gathered all the bamboo strips, tied them into a bundle using some bamboo skin, and threw them out into the yard, ready to send them away tomorrow.

If Tianxianglou needs the bamboo for burning, give it to them. If not, throw it into the trash can.

The bamboos have been chopped into small pieces and can be thrown into the organic waste tube without the worry of hurting the cleaning workers. In fact, if you don't have a fire at home, it's still fun to burn some firecrackers...

He sat cross-legged, slowly adjusted his breathing, and gradually fell asleep. In his sleep, there was a crackling sound beside his ears, and a wisp of new green sprouted quickly, upward, upward, upward...

The wind blew through the bamboo leaves, making them rustle. Shen Le turned over in his sleep, listening to the white noise gifted by nature, and fell into a deeper and sweeter sleep.

When he woke up and opened his eyes slightly, he saw that it was dark outside. Shen Le muttered, "The weather forecast didn't say it was going to rain," turned over, and fell asleep again.

It is said that rainy weather is not suitable for playing the flute or the Xiao, because the instruments will get damp and the sound will become muffled and unpleasant, which is what is meant by "I am still afraid that the spring clouds will dampen the strings."

If I am not suitable for playing the flute, then I am naturally not suitable for repairing the flute. Today... I should just be lazy...

He slept comfortably for another nap, and fell into a deep sleep until he was completely unconscious. He slept until the light in the room shone brightly on his eyelids, and then he woke up reluctantly:
"What are you arguing about... You can't even sleep in..."

[The little sister is here to deliver breakfast! Here to deliver breakfast!!!]

The small oil lamp floated up and down joyfully. Shen Le got up painfully:
"I'm here to deliver breakfast. Can't I put it in the living room... or in the studio... Why do you have to wake me up... Eating breakfast is really not that important..."

Eating breakfast is not important, but some things are very important. Shen Le desperately got up, glanced out the window, and immediately understood why the small oil lamp had to wake him up:

"This...what is this?"

He opened the door and walked out quickly, regardless of his messy hair and wrinkled pajamas.

At the edge of the yard, on the dirt ground, the green bamboo forest swayed in the wind, already taller than the courtyard wall, completely blocking the light from the bedroom. If it weren't for the corridors on all four sides of the courtyard, these bamboos would have grown up to the walkway, completely blocking his way out of the courtyard!
"This... When did a bamboo forest grow in my yard?!"

He walked down the steps in disbelief and came to the edge of the bamboo forest. He stretched out his hand and shook it. On the bamboo poles as thick as a bowl, there was a layer of white frost, and the green color was fresh and juicy;
He stroked it up and down again, and a faint spiritual energy touched his fingertips, which was very similar to the nature of the spiritual energy he mobilized when he cast the healing spell yesterday.

The case was solved. It was his fault. He threw the bamboo pieces outside and let them touch the soil. The unused spiritual energy started to push them to grow again...

Shen Le looked miserable and stomped his feet. There was a crackling sound under his feet, and a bamboo shoot pushed the bricks apart, slowly, slowly growing upwards, and soon it reached his knees...

Shen Le couldn't help but bend down and squeeze the bamboo shoots. He shook them forward, backward, left, and right, and finally got what he wanted:

"Crack!"

A thin cracking sound was heard. Shen Le continued to exert his strength, pulling up the still growing bamboo shoot with his mighty strength and holding it in his hand.

After a moment, a surprised voice came from behind:

"Mr. Shen, do you want to eat bamboo shoots? You can't eat bamboo shoots this big!"

Shen Le turned around quickly. Xiaoyu was standing at the corner of the corridor in a white dress, holding a lunch box. She looked at him with surprise, walked over quickly, squatted down and gestured to the ground:
"When bamboo shoots first grow out, only a tip of them is visible above the ground. That's when they are most tender and delicious. At most, they can only be half a foot above the ground - how tall have you grown now..."

Shen Le: “…”

Is it too late for me to say now that I want to eat these bamboo shoots?

"This...something went wrong with the spell. The bamboo didn't exist yesterday, but it's like this today..."

He shamelessly asked the Peony Fairy for help:

"Do you think there is any way to get these bamboos out, including the roots, and try not to damage the ground..."

Xiaoyu blinked, not quite believing what she heard. After a long while, she moved lightly, placed her hands on the bamboo pole, and concentrated:
"rise--"

With a series of cracking sounds, a huge bamboo rose up and was pulled out of the ground inch by inch and foot by foot.

Under the bamboo, large pieces of bamboo roots were pulled out, pulling and dragging the soil, spreading all over the yard. The bamboo fell down with a crash and got stuck directly on the eaves next to it...

"This……"

Xiaoyu's cheeks turned slightly red, and she lowered her head shyly:

"If I want to do it, I can do it, but it will inevitably make a mess. Can you wait a moment? I'll ask the boss lady to come over."

"Go, go, go!"

Shen Le stared at the bamboo shoot that had risen up from under his feet and waved his hand quickly:
"If we don't fix it now, the bamboo shoots will grow into the house!"

Xiaoyu smiled, raised her head, and waved her sleeves. I didn't see how she cast a spell, but within two minutes, the proprietress came over quickly:

"Let me take a look..."

The boss lady's skills were obviously much more profound than Xiaoyu's. She didn't even need to press on the bamboo pole, but just stood at the edge of the bamboo forest with her hands in her sleeves, pinched out a few spells in a row, and waved her hands casually.

With a series of crackling sounds, the bamboos naturally rose from the ground, retracted their roots by themselves, and even shook off the dirt on the roots.

With a few soft crackling sounds, seven or eight plump bamboo shoots broke off from the bamboo roots and rolled all over the ground...

The bamboo shrank smaller and smaller until it became a small bamboo tube and flew into the hands of the proprietress. The proprietress flicked it and the bamboo shoots disappeared. She smiled softly:

"Mr. Shen, these bamboos are at least somewhat spiritual. It would be a pity to kill them directly. If you don't mind, I'd like to take them away and transplant them."

"let's go……"

Shen Le waved his hand feebly. The proprietress smiled and left. At noon that day, fresh dishes appeared in the lunch box:
"Mr. Shen, the boss lady said that these bamboo shoots are not very fresh, so using them to make vegetarian stir-fried bamboo shoots is just the right way to make the most of their original freshness."

Xiaoyu took out the dishes from the food box while explaining in a clear voice. The white bamboo shoots, with the green chopped green onions on top, were fresh and very pleasing to the eye.

But when Shen Le looked at the bamboo shoots, he felt that the texture on each bamboo shoot seemed to be mocking him:
"If Mr. Shen is interested, there is another dish called pickled pork with preserved vegetables. It will take a few more hours to stew and will be delivered in the evening. Or, would you like to eat bamboo shoots stewed with pork ribs?"

"Whatever... Just don't treat me to fried pork with bamboo shoots..."

He bit the bamboo shoots to vent his anger, and finally felt calmed down and devoted himself to practicing healing techniques again.

When the Alloy Boss heard about this gossip, he also came to watch the fun, squatting beside him and watching him take apart the bamboo strips and tinker with the bamboo tubes one by one.

Seeing the cracks on the bamboo piece closing up and growing rapidly, he raised his hand and touched the top of the bamboo piece:
"stop!"

A thin golden air rolled over, and the bamboo piece stopped growing. Shen Le turned his head to look at him in surprise, and the alloy boss shrugged indifferently:

"Gold overcomes wood. To stop it from growing, it's best to use gold energy!"

Shen Le was thoughtful. He couldn't command the gold energy like the Alloy Boss for the time being;
However, he also has his powers to use...

For example, the newly acquired water-repelling spell can absorb moisture at a specific point. Without water, bamboo will never grow.
For example, the cleaning technique he was most adept at using could erase the magic power he put into it. Without spiritual energy, I don't know what you can do!

He tried, tried, and tried again and again, and finally found the right way.

A spell was cast, and the cracks on the bamboo piece healed by themselves, then it stopped obediently and stopped growing;
Another spell was cast, and the cracks on the bamboo tube healed and then stopped quietly;
Finally, a spell was cast, and the cracks on the bamboo flute, as thin as hair, which were invisible if one didn't pay attention, disappeared little by little.

He raised the bamboo flute and gently played a tune. The tone was full and mellow, and every note was in the original tune.

perfect!

Pretty!

Shen Le gave himself a thumbs up and worked hard on all the bamboo flutes he bought. He practiced until he was proficient in them, and then went back to repair the flute and the Xiao.

The bamboo flute is easy. Just throw a growth spell on it, stick the membrane on it, and it's done.

Bamboo flutes are more troublesome. You need to let the cracks heal slowly, soften the paint film little by little, make it smooth again, touch up the paint, and polish it...

Shen Le was busy running around, polishing and playing the bamboo flute again and again, and finally, he adjusted the tone of the bamboo flute to perfection.

All the contents of the shrine were repaired. The moment he put down the bamboo flute, an inexplicable wave suddenly swept through -

That Buddha statue!
The Buddha statue’s power was epically enhanced, it woke up!
　Cats love to eat braised bamboo shoots!
　　Cats also like to eat pickled pork with preserved vegetables!
　　Cats also like to eat braised pork with bamboo shoots!
