The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 458 Mr. Shen, take whatever you like from the warehouse! - Can you move five pairs of road wheels?
The collections of the Magic City Special Affairs Bureau did not give Shen Le any special surprises.

Well, the warehouse marked "Miscellaneous" that Shen Le visited didn't have many new things added. The ones he had seen before, he didn't want to repair them at the time, and he still doesn't want to repair them now;

The thing he wanted to repair at first...the doll cabinet that impressed him at first, has been taken home.

As for raw materials, weapons, protective gear, auxiliary magical tools, talismans, pills...those warehouses are filled with finished products that can be used right out of the box.

Even though some weapons, armor, and magic tools were damaged and waiting to be repaired, or simply waiting to be melted down and remade. Some of them, Shen Lenu could repair them if he tried hard, but he didn't want to;
There are also some that Shen Le is completely unsuitable for...

"Well... you know, although our bureau has a lot of money, it lacks foundation..."

The director was a little embarrassed to accompany Shen Le, following closely. There was no way, in terms of historical heritage, the Magic City could not compare with the Imperial City, the Ancient Capital, Shu, and Jinling:
There is no way, Demon City is a typical impact plain, the place where Shen Le lives is not so bad, there are still some rumors during the Three Kingdoms period;

As for the land in Pudong and Chongming, it was formed later and was not fully formed until the Ming Dynasty. Without land, there is no need to talk about earth energy. Without earth energy, demons and ghosts cannot grow.

What do you mean fish monster?
Please, we have reached the mouth of the Yangtze River. If there is any fish monster with a little ambition, who wouldn’t want to go to the sea?

To be honest, Shen Le now has more experience and a broader vision.

The warehouse of the Special Affairs Bureau in the Magic City has a large number of items, but in terms of quality, it is not as good as the small warehouse where the proprietress took him, which has been set aside to store some of the collections of Long Jun Shuifu.

Of course, it is not a top-quality product and is not qualified to enter the Dragon Lord’s warehouse.

However, Shen Le felt that the Poyang Lake (?) Dragon King was probably a homebody who would just wait for things to sink and would not take the initiative to attack.

However, the Special Affairs Bureau is carrying out missions everywhere on a daily basis, and they go wherever something happens.

Even so, the quality of the things I collected was still not good enough. I could only sigh that the earth in the Magic City was so thin that even powerful monsters could not be raised...

Fortunately, there is the Imperial Capital General Administration's collection warehouse to support it. As soon as Shen Le stepped into the collection warehouse, he couldn't help but exclaimed:
so big!

many!

Feel……

It feels like walking into the National Museum or the Palace Museum...

The underground warehouses, yes, those are the warehouses where collections are stored. They are not open to the public and only staff are allowed to enter.

The entire collection warehouse is filled with a dazzling array of items. On the map indicating the direction at the entrance alone, there are more than a dozen items listed, including stoneware, bronzeware, pottery, porcelain, jadeware, ironware, etc.

Shen Le closed his eyes slightly and exerted his mental power. In an instant, a large area of surging light rushed towards him:
There are sharp, gentle, cheerful, and iron-blooded. There are joyous, and heart-wrenching...

Shen Le was caught off guard and staggered. He leaned back, feeling dizzy and his heart pounding, and he almost fell down.

He is also a celebrity in the Special Affairs Bureau system. Not only the Magic City Special Affairs Bureau, but also the Imperial Capital Special Affairs Bureau has a name on his name. The operative who accompanied him in held him up, his face full of worry:
"Mr. Shen, you..."

"I'm fine." Shen Le closed his eyes and took a few breaths. After he recovered, he continued to move forward.

He was too reckless just now, and he touched too many things at once, and his spirit was a little overwhelmed. Then, just don't bear it!

Let’s take them one by one!

Shen Le calmed himself down and carefully read the map on the wall again. He moved his lips and whispered:

"Metal, bone, horn, brick, stone, lacquer, silk, seals, calligraphy, emblems, miscellaneous items, inscriptions, documents, miscellaneous items..."

He carefully weighed his restoration ability and past restoration experience. The bronze ware felt too heavy for him to handle.
Pottery, porcelain, jade, and even metal, bone, and horn were not his forte. Stone tools were also difficult to repair, and he couldn't always ask the Stone Goddess to come out of the mountain;

Silk fabrics and calligraphy and painting, I really repaired them to the point where I didn’t want to repair them at all;
The same is true for bricks and tiles, stone tablets and stone tools; the same is true for seals and bronze and metal tools; the same is true for documents, calligraphy and paintings...

Forget it, I'll just go to the miscellaneous section first. If there's nothing I'm interested in, I'll look at them one by one.

Shen Le made up his mind and spoke to the special affairs officer who was accompanying him. He immediately saw the other party nodding vigorously:

"No problem, please follow me. Mr. Shen, just take your time to look around. Our director said that you can take back whatever you like, and you don't have to worry about the points!"

"...Then, can Dongfeng also be moved? Or five pairs of road wheels or something?"

Shen Le couldn't help asking. The other person's mouth twitched for a moment, but he quickly smiled:

"Look at what you said. These warehouses are filled with the abnormal materials we seized. Why is Dongfeng here... But if you really want it, we can try to apply for it?"

"Kidding……"

Shen Le quickly shook his head. What do I need Dongfeng for? What do I need five pairs of road wheels for?
Can my house accommodate a huge log truck? Even if it can, the gate is too wide to drive it in!

Of course, if you have the chance to touch it, it's still good...

Under the guidance and accompaniment of the staff, he walked to the door of the miscellaneous warehouse and scanned his identity card to enter.

Once you enter, you'll see a long tunnel that looks a lot like an air-raid shelter, with green on the bottom and white on the top, and fluorescent-painted markings on the skirting boards, which would probably be able to guide the direction even if the power was out.

On both sides of the tunnel, steel doors are tightly closed, with a mixture of gold and silver, and countless mysterious lines chiseled, engraved, inlaid, welded, and electroplated on the doors.

Shen Le stopped and observed carefully, and found that these lines formed layers of talismans:

There are talismans that enhance solidity, prohibit certain forces from passing through, launch attacks, and there are some that Shen Le is not familiar with yet and does not know what they are used for.

The staff member took him to the door, grabbed his own name badge and shook it, then grabbed the temporary name badge hanging with a blue ribbon on Shen Le's chest and shook it.

A beam of light shot out from the gate, fell on the badge, and then reflected back. The staff member pulled Shen Le and walked directly inside:

“Huh? …He’s in? Does this badge solidify the ability to walk through walls?”

Shen Le looked around, quite surprised. The heavy steel door wavered like a wall of water, and when they came in, they felt almost no resistance.

However, after entering, I was in a small room of less than 4 square meters, with bare cement walls and cement floors.

What I mean is, since you've already gone through the wall, can you go a few more steps?
"...You can understand it this way." The staff member smiled and continued to move forward with Shen Le. One step, two steps, three steps, he raised his hand to take off the badge and pressed it against the wall.

Suddenly, the view in front of me was clear. No corridors or cement walls were visible. Instead, there was a very large hall.

Rows of shelves were filled with all kinds of things, big and small, and all kinds of things were shining brightly. The staff member bowed slightly and waved his hand forward:

"Mr. Shen, please take your time and look around. If you like it, take it away. If not, we can go to the next one. No rush, no rush. Everything depends on your satisfaction."

"…What if I stay in there for a month?"

Shen Le was curious. Considering the size of the warehouse and the number of collections, if he picked them out one by one and looked at each one carefully, it might take him a month.

The quantity is too large!
For professionals like them, it is not uncommon to spend a month visiting the National Museum and the Palace Museum, especially those collections that are not open to the public. They can just walk around and spend the month there!

"Then I'll stay with you for a month." The staff member smiled. Not only did he smile, he also calmly leaned aside and pulled out a chair to sit down:

"I get paid, and I can play with my phone. I don't have to go out on the field. What a happy life!"

Shen Le was speechless for a moment. He shrugged and looked at the shelves in the warehouse one by one:

A round fan. Looking closer, it is a brocade round fan, with three kinds of gold threads brocaded on the fan to create patterns of a toad spitting out a shrine and adding chips to the sea house.

The fan handle is made of mahogany, with a silver-engraved buckle and three-strand braided edges. The end of the fan handle is decorated with a string of multi-treasure tassels made of mutton-fat jade, agate, amber, crystal, pearls, etc.

The whole round fan is placed upright on a mahogany fan stand. Even if it is not used and can be used as a decoration, it has a simple yet fairy-like shape.

However, if you get a little closer, you can see bloodstains on the surface and handle of the fan. Even after a long time, the blood is still bright red.

If you concentrate a little more, you can easily hear the endless and mournful crying coming from the fan.

"We found this round fan in the drawer of a female ghost's dressing table when we were saving her soul." The staff member came over to explain:

"I suspect it has something to do with her past life experiences. Her resentment is condensed on it and won't dissipate for a long time. Mr. Shen..."

Shen Le ran away. The fan was not damaged at all, and only needed to be cleaned of the blood stains. In fact, from the perspective of cultural relic protection, even cleaning the blood stains was unnecessary.

Preserving the traces on it is also part of preserving its past experiences.

If it is an ordinary cultural relic, it may need to be placed in a constant temperature and humidity cabinet, the air must be vacuumed, and filled with nitrogen or something, to prevent bacteria growing in the blood stains from corroding the fan.

However, the spirituality or resentment on this fan can obviously protect itself, so there is no need for humans to bother with it and it can just be left like this.

what?
Pray for the souls of the dead? Please, praying for the souls of the dead is something that monks do. I am a cultural relic restorer!
He walked forward a few steps and stopped in front of a pair of boxes. The boxes were thick and heavy in color, and were obviously made of red sandalwood. After hundreds of years, they were still as shiny as new.

Both boxes are in the style of guqin, and are obviously a pair, but the decorations are different.

On the top of the box on the left, gold and silver threads and gold and silver sheets are coiled into a cloud pattern, inlaid with the five blessings and the prosperity of the family.
The box on the right has a frame made of coiled gold wire and a piece of dark green jadeite inlaid on the top.

The body of the instrument is carved from a whole piece of mutton-fat white jade, with sesame-sized jadeite densely placed around it, which echoes the jadeite on the top.

Judging from their shapes and designs, these two boxes are obviously a pair. They might even be tokens of love between a young couple.

However, when Shen Le took a closer look, he saw that they were like two magnets facing each other, struggling desperately and trying desperately to stay away from each other...

Look, the box on the left is stuck to the left bottom plate of the cabinet, and the box on the right is stuck to the right side.

The edges of the display cabinets with velvet trim were deeply sunken by them!
"We found this pair of violin cases in a large tomb. When we found them, they were fighting fiercely..."

The staff came forward again and tried to explain. Not only did the instruments keep flying up and hitting each other, but they also kept plucking the strings, making a sound that made people dizzy and want to vomit.

Although they are not fatal, the staff who handled the abnormal incidents did pay a heavy price to take them down...

Shen Le leaned against the glass of the display cabinet, looked at the two boxes carefully, and shook his head.

The corners and bottom of the rosewood box have many signs of damage and large scratches. It is hard to imagine how little care one must have to take to break it like this:
Of course, they could probably do such a thing if they hit each other.
The gold and silver threads on the box on the left had fallen off by a small part, and had curled up by a small part. Even one of the five bats was missing, and two of the leaves of the melon tree had curled up, and one of the gourds was missing.
The jadeite on the right box is broken, and the mutton-fat jade is broken into three pieces, with one piece missing. The surface of the jadeite and the mutton-fat jade are covered with scratches.

What did he go through to become like this?

"Look, there is a QR code in the lower right corner of the display cabinet, which allows you to check the circumstances when it was discovered and controlled." The staff promptly directed Shen Le.

Shen Le shook his head and continued walking forward:

Repairing metal, jade, and jadeite were not his forte. More importantly, he did not like the temperament of these two guitar cases:
It felt to him like a young couple, who had been childhood sweethearts, and finally got married, but in the long marriage life, they became a pair of resentful couples...

If they had gone through a lot of setbacks and then parted ways, it would be fine, but they had to go through such a mess over trivial matters, it's outrageous!!!

He sighed and walked forward. God, please help him pick something interesting and fun that would inspire him to repair it!
So far, I have seen that most of the objects are filled with dark murderous intent and crazy death, and a few objects are filled with eternal despair;
Something that makes him feel comfortable, sensitive and lively, but so far, he has not found anything!
Shen Le simply closed his eyes and relied on his mental power to explore the way, moving forward step by step. His mental power spread out, tapping on the display racks on both sides one by one:

This is too sad. Don't...

This is too painful, don't...

This is totally unspiritual. Don't...

This is too desperate...

This crazy guy, don't...

This... this is very light and lively, but the problem is that you are complete and there is no room for me to attack you!

He walked through one warehouse, then another. When he reached the third warehouse, he walked halfway with his eyes closed, then suddenly stopped:

"what?"

This thing is very strange! Its smell... its smell is very strange!

Shen Le opened his eyes and approached the display case. Inside the display case, which was covered with talismans in all directions, stood a cabinet that was more than half a person tall and about the same size as an ordinary chest of drawers.

Unlike ordinary cabinets, the front of this cabinet is an extremely thick iron plate with dozens of semicircular drawer handles welded on it;

In the middle of the iron plate, three columns and five rows were hollowed out in a criss-cross pattern, for a total of 15 drawers, each with a steel handle welded on it.

Shen Le stood outside the display case, looked left and right, and then walked around the glass case for a long time, and couldn't help asking:
"How do you open this cabinet?"

“That’s what makes it so special…”

The employee from the Special Affairs Bureau walked up with a smile and waved his name badge at a special position on the display cabinet.

The badge emitted a red light and landed on the display case. The display case suddenly made a clicking sound and a small drawer popped out from underneath.

Inside the drawer, there was a bunch of keys in various shapes and sizes. Some keys had only a short piece on the head, while others had a curved steel plate attached to the head, like a three-dimensional maze...

He grabbed the keys and stuffed them into another drawer of the cabinet. The drawer sank, pushed in, and flew up. A key rose on its own and turned somersault in mid-air:
"Snapped--"

It bumped into a handle, lifting the semicircular handle a little, revealing the keyhole. Then, the key inserted itself into the keyhole and turned it vigorously.

The sound of a mechanism rattling sounded from inside the iron cabinet. The other two keys flew up, one to the left and one to the right, knocking the two steel handles outwards.

Two maze-shaped keyholes suddenly appeared, and two keys were inserted at the same time, one rotating clockwise and the other rotating counterclockwise.

After each of them turned three times, another series of mechanical sounds were heard, and a key flew up and hit the keyhole. Each time, the direction of the key was different, and the position of the key handle was also different.

Either move one handle at a time, or move two handles at the same time, or move three handles in different directions...

Shen Lezhi was dazzled and stunned. After moving for a while, he heard a rumbling sound, and the entire iron cabinet door opened with a bang, revealing an empty cabinet inside:
"This, is this a safe?"

"It is indeed a safe." The staff accompanying him had enjoyed Shen Le's surprised expression and felt great psychological satisfaction. At this time, he happily explained to him:

“We found this cabinet in a bank. It should be an old item from more than a hundred years ago.

It's not harmful, the only problem is that it likes to take all kinds of things from the surroundings and put them in its own cabinet..."

This locker is fine in other places, but in a bank, it is really a headache for the bank. Whether it is money, bills, or account books, losing any of them is not a trivial matter.

For banks, blank documents are even more important than cash, and are even more important to them than losing them.

Seeing the ridiculous look on Shen Le's face, the staff also felt sympathetic and nodded vigorously.

He cast a few spells at the display cabinet, and somehow the cabinet door slammed shut, and keys began to spit out one by one:

"This safe is actually quite useful for storing things. It's impervious to weapons, water and fire. We originally wanted to use it to store important items, but it has a bad habit..."

"what?"

Shen Le asked curiously. Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang, and an iron key flew out like a cannonball and hit the glass of the display cabinet.

Then, one by one, keys flew out one after another. The staff sighed:
"Every time you open the cabinet door, you have to play with it - the unlocking method is different every time. If you don't play with it, you will be beaten by the key, and you can't fight back..."

Shen Le turned his head away, his mouth twitching, trying hard to hold back a laugh. Such a complicated unlocking method, it's not easy to memorize it after reading it once, and it's different every time...

A safe that has become a spirit is really hard to deal with!

"Mr. Shen, do you want it? Your communication with the spirits has always been smooth. If you take it out, it will also make its life more comfortable..."

"Well……"

Shen Le pondered. He used his mental power to sense the safe through the display cabinet. The entire safe was made of fine iron, inside and out, without a trace of rust.
The mechanism rotates very flexibly, and from time to time it switches positions when people are not paying attention. Perhaps this is the reason why "the unlocking method is different every time"?
This safe has a lively and lively aura. Apart from being a little lonely, there is nothing wrong with it. The only problem is that it is too complete and too clean...

There is no need to repair it at all!

Without cultivation, there is no way to imbue it with his own aura, no way to awaken it, no way to make it generate a complete consciousness...

"Let's take a look first." He shrugged and continued walking forward. If you really can't find a good one, you can take the safe home and let it get along with the little ones.

In short, whether a lonely, naughty child can make a fortune depends on fate...

After walking through this warehouse, he still didn't find anything he was satisfied with. When he entered the next warehouse, Shen Le just stepped in and froze:

What a big area!
There is such a large area in front, what is it?
"Ah... Mr. Shen, you have to be careful with these things in front of you. They are very dangerous..."

The staff member bravely stood in front of him. Shen Le took a deep breath, pushed his shoulders aside, and stepped forward:
In front of us, there were rows and rows of glass cabinets, neatly arranged. Most of them were only one foot high, one foot long and one foot wide, with a pair of figurines carrying boxes poked out from inside.
The further you go towards the center, the larger the glass cabinet becomes, and you start to see figurines playing musical instruments, riding horses, and carrying sedan chairs.

In the center of the procession, an extremely complicated and luxurious sedan chair stood out, carried by four bearers, who walked forward with serious faces.

Inside the sedan chair, red silk fluttered, blocking Shen Le's sight. However, Shen Le could clearly feel it without using his mental power:

There's something in here!
