The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 463 Shen Le: Going out vertically and coming back horizontally? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Shen Le felt himself being enveloped by a force and moving very quickly.

It was a bit like the last time he was carried away by the teleportation talisman. However, the pressure was not that great, not to the point where he was about to be crushed to death and had to hold on desperately;
The speed is not that fast, it is not that you arrive in the blink of an eye, but you can clearly feel that you are moving along a certain path;
Of course, it's not like being carried by Yun Kun and sneaking along the water veins, with the sound of water rushing in your ears and the clear water above your head forming a sky.

It felt like, well, I was being carried by something, even a little shaky, swaying...

Shen Le nervously formed a healing talisman, ready to rescue himself at any time. The wind rustled in his ears, and footsteps were light and rapid, moving quickly around him. Tap, tap, tap...

There was the sound of wooden soles of boots crushing dead branches, the crisp sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, and the soft sound of paws with paw pads pressing on the ground and applying gentle force...

This time, will it be the wedding procession that leads me forward?
Please don't put me in a sedan chair! That thing is so suffocating!

No one helps me, I’m stuck inside and can’t get out!
He silently counted his breaths. One in, one out, one out, one in, one out, one in, one out, one in…

After about forty or fifty breaths, my whole body suddenly felt light, and then sank again, and my feet landed steadily on the ground.

There was darkness in front of me. Not far away, there was the sound of water rippling. On the surface of the water, dots of light were faintly dancing up and down...

Good news: we’ve arrived.

Bad news: no idea where this is.

Shen Le took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly. The spiritual energy around him gently surrounded him. It was stronger than the outside world, or strictly speaking, the wilderness, but much weaker than the secret realm.

In other words, he was probably in some naturally formed area rich in spiritual energy?
Shen Le raised his palm. The healing spell shone brightly at his fingertips, illuminating the surrounding environment.

The ground was rugged and uneven, with stalactites hanging above. It was obviously a cave. There was a constant sound of water in the distance. Perhaps there was a waterway leading to the outside world, or perhaps it was just a section of an underground river.

Shen Le frowned slightly:

Caves are more difficult. Even experienced explorers need to bring enough people and make adequate preparations to explore the structure of a cave, and lay down ropes and markers along the way.

A person like him who is alone and has nothing, if he moves rashly in there, he will most likely fall to death, drown, or get lost and starve to death...

Fortunately, Shen Le still had enough magic to use, so he was not panicking for the time being. He directed the light to float up from his fingertips and circle around.

It illuminated the entire cave, and also illuminated... the endless clay sculptures in front of and behind him.

This cave is surprisingly a hall. It is spacious and has a relatively flat ground, so the clay sculptures can be arranged in a long row.

The first clay sculpture that caught my eye was a huge coffin. Looking further ahead, not too far away, stood an even larger, house-like Qiangong bed...

In the cave, pairs of green eyes flickered in the darkness, as if a group of ghosts were staring at him. The scene was really creepy.

If Shen Le had not gone through the test of the paper people on Yun Kun's ship, his heart would have trembled. Now he calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief:

Very good, it was indeed these clay sculptures that he had initially restored that brought him to this place. This kind of power that travels through the earth is indeed a bit like what the clay sculptures can mobilize -

So where is this?

Can you still take me back the same way?
Or, do you need me to find transportation to take you back?
Shen Le sat cross-legged and tried to communicate with the clay sculptures, but to no avail.

Maybe the previous transmission had exhausted the power, or maybe his communication method was wrong. In any case, the clay sculptures did not lift him up once and had no intention of returning the same way.

So, I can only rely on myself?

Shen Le subconsciously felt around. Luckily, his cell phone was with him - the problem was that there was no signal inside the cave, so he couldn't call the little ones.

He thought for a moment, and based on the bits of information about survival in the wild that he had heard from the Alloy Boss and the guy from the Special Affairs Bureau, he flew to the water's edge and then went upstream against the current.

Fortunately, there is a road upstream. Although it is a little narrow, low and rugged, it is still a road.

Shen Le flew stumblingly, up and down, left and right. When he encountered a place that he could not get through, he put his palms against the stone wall and silently thought about the feeling of being wrapped by the earth.

As his mind turned, the stone wall turned into soft mud and gravel, which fell down, creating a path for him to walk on...

After turning around like this and leaving marks along the way, they finally reached the cave entrance. As soon as they saw the daylight, Shen Le breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took out his cell phone:
Bad news, still no mobile signal.

Good news, his phone can connect to the satellite signal and can still make calls...

Ah, thanks for the new phone that's so far ahead.

Shen Le quickly dialed the number. As soon as the call was connected, Gu Yulin's anxious voice came like a barrage of bullets:
"Where have you been? How come you disappeared again? The little guys called me and called the police again. I was so worried! I thought I had to search for you in all the secret places again—"

I knew it, I knew it. Although the Doll Cabinet usually lacked a sense of presence, when he suddenly disappeared from home, the Doll Cabinet was the first to react and call the police.

Fortunately, the signal was restored quickly this time, otherwise the Special Affairs Bureau would have to contact all branches and search for him all over the world...

"I'm fine. There was an accident when I was practicing magic just now." Shen Le answered in the calmest tone possible.

After Gu Yulin's bombardment, he relaxed and said in a deep voice:

"So where are you now? Are you safe? Do you want us to pick you up?"

"I am now..."

Shen Le clicked on Amap. Thankfully, in satellite communication mode, Amap was still able to locate itself and confirm the location:
"I'm in a remote corner of the southwest, just crawling out of a cave... There's satellite signal, but no mobile signal...

You don’t need to come over for now, let me figure out how to lead the clay sculptures out…”

He chatted with Gu Yulin for a few words, sent him a location, agreed to contact him again in a day, and asked him to help comfort the little ones.

After the agreement, I climbed back into the cave and followed the markings all the way back to the clay sculpture.

The road was rough and rugged. If he had not been able to shape the stones, divert the water, rub the stones with his hands to make them shiny and mark them, he would have been trapped to death or drowned.

Even if he could come in himself and ask the staff of the Special Affairs Bureau to come in and help move the clay sculptures out one by one, this is not very realistic:
So many clay sculptures!

There are over a thousand of them, and they have to be moved over such a long and troublesome road, and we have to take care that the clay sculptures cannot be soaked in water, bumped, or dropped. How troublesome is that?
If you can avoid bothering others, then do so!

He first walked around the procession of clay sculptures. The cave was large enough that the clay sculptures were arranged neatly in order. The drummers were in front, the dowry was in the middle, and the family members accompanying the newlyweds were at the back.

This order is their original order, right?
This is the most comfortable order for them to exert their power, right?
I feel that the order I arranged them in before, relying on my mental perception, is still a little inappropriate. I still need to modify it according to their own feelings...

Shen Le took out his phone, took photos, and recorded everything. After recording, he returned to the center of the team, got into the Qiangong bed, and lay down comfortably:
"Huh... It's still most comfortable to lie on the bed. If you want to take me away, you can take me away while lying down. I don't have to be cramped in the sedan chair, right..."

He stretched out his limbs, rolled to the left, then to the right on the Qiangong bed. After rolling, he lay flat, closed his eyes, and began to communicate with the entire clay sculpture team:
"Take me back...Take me back...Can you take me back?"

The clay sculptures did not respond. Shen Le was not discouraged. He slowly entered into a state of concentration and slowly extended his perception. He used his mental power to trace the lines on the clay sculptures and connect them together:
"One, two, three... five... ten... they are all connected, why are they not moving?"

You are moving!

Or did you use up all your strength after moving just now and can't move anymore, so you need me to recharge you?
Shen Le had no other choice but to continue extending his perception to cover the entire cave. He gathered the weak spiritual energy and soaked the clay sculptures as much as possible without damaging the foundation of the place.

"Well, it still feels not enough..."

Quite insufficient. Not even half of the dynamic power of the clay sculpture was activated.

Obviously, it would take at least ten days, half a month, or even a year or two for the spiritual energy here to accumulate until the clay sculptures could work...

Is this why, according to the records of the Special Affairs Bureau, these wedding processions would only come out once in a long time?

I'm afraid it's impossible to rely on the spiritual energy in the cave to charge the clay sculpture. Shen Le was not nervous. He took a few breaths and sank his mind into a deeper state of concentration:

If you don't have enough strength, then call on the earth! Call on the power of the entire earth!
Things like caves can only appear inside the belly of a mountain, and can only appear among mountains. Wherever there are mountains, the earth's energy must be thick. I can take a little bit of it to take me back. There is no way I can't do it!
Please follow me!

Please respond to me!

Please give me strength and take me home!
He was in a state of tranquility, unaware of anything. In the mansion, however, the little ones were already quarreling:

[Shen Le ran away again! Ran away again!] The small oil lamp was making a lot of noise, and the lights in the whole mansion were flickering, as if they had entered a haunted house:
[It's always like this, he runs away without even saying hello to us! He can't hit us, and he can't run fast. When he flies, he's crooked and twisted, and it's easy for people to shoot him down!
——At least tell me! Take me with you! If anything happens, I can protect him! 】

Actually, you are complaining that he didn't take you away... Gu Yulin squatted in front of the small oil lamp, holding his mobile phone, sweating profusely.

The little ones have a strong learning ability, and word of mouth spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Once one little one has learned something, it means everyone has learned it.

Yun Kun learned how to use paper figures to help him write and type on his phone, and then convert the text into voice and play it out loud. The little oil lamp also learned how to play the sound out loud in an instant.

The loudspeaker is turned up to the maximum level, but it’s not enough, so I have to connect a speaker. Now it’s really noisy…

"Don't worry, Shen Le will be fine." He had no choice but to squat in front of him and persuade him:
"He has called us. Please wait patiently for a day or two—"

[No more waiting! I'm going to find him!] Yun Kun rushed forward violently, then stopped suddenly, almost knocking Gu Yulin's phone off his feet:

【Share your location with me! I'll be there right away! 】

Sweat... Yun Kun, you agreed to go home for two days and you have to go back to work. The East China Sea Secret Realm is eagerly waiting for you to continue transporting supplies... Gu Yulin muttered in his heart, not daring to say it out loud. Shen Le is a father, a brother, and the closest person to these little guys.

If something happens to a relative, even if the relative is a soldier on duty at the border, as long as there has not been a fight, he can be allowed to buy a ticket and go home immediately.

What's more, someone like Yun Kun only has an employment relationship with the Special Affairs Bureau and is not an active soldier?
"You may not be able to find anyone if you go there now - there may not be any water connections there." He could only persuade her in a gentle and soft voice:

"Didn't Shen Le say that he would be back in a day? If you run over now, what if he has already come back and has to go back to look for you? Wouldn't that cause trouble for him?"

[I can go there in a hurry! Hurry up! Hurry up! ]

Gu Yulin was still trying to struggle, but lightning crackled and an electric snake flew out from the small oil lamp, swimming around him threateningly.

Hong Jiayi drew her two swords and took a step forward. Thousands of strands of black hair swarmed out, blocking all the doors and windows...

Even the usually solemn dressing box had a few talismans flying out, shining brightly, illuminating the entire room.

"Hey, you guys wouldn't do that!" Gu Yulin smiled bitterly:

"It's just a positioning... Can we talk about reason..."

Fortunately, someone came to the rescue. A long bell rang, as if it had traveled through time, ringing in the hearts of everyone and all the spirits.

Yun Kun was startled for a moment. The sails of the boat slowly folded up and landed on the table. The small oil lamp retracted its crackling electric snake. The sleeves of the red wedding dress fell down, covering the bright light of the knife...

[Then wait another day.] On the wooden boat, the deep and steady AI voice chosen by Luo Pan came out:

[We will contact Shen Le again one day later. If he can't handle it or needs our help, we will go again.]

"Fine……"

Gu Yulin let out a long sigh and almost collapsed.

Alas, we cannot lift the alert yet. We need to call the higher-ups, call the East China Sea, call the Southwest, the place where Shen Lefa is located, and call the Special Affairs Bureau...

Shen Le said “no need to come”, but if they are really needed to come over, they will definitely get there as quickly as possible!

The helicopter needs to be ready... the emergency resources also need to be ready... oh, there are so many things to prepare!
Shen Le didn't know that the Special Affairs Bureau was already busy with his occasional disappearance. Even if he knew, he wouldn't consider it for the time being:

The most important thing is to enter into a state of concentration, to gather strength. The more strength he gathers, the faster he will come back.

As for the trouble caused to the Special Affairs Bureau?

Please, as long as he can return safely in this way, there will be enough to give back to the Special Affairs Bureau!
In a deep state of concentration, he stretched out his hands, toward the mountains, toward the earth, toward the entire world before him.

Ask them to resonate, ask them to help——

Unconsciously, a thick aura spread over, enveloping the terracotta warriors and seeping into their interiors bit by bit.

Their texture becomes tighter and more solid, and they change from clay sculptures that will break if dropped or bumped to hard and smooth ones, gradually becoming like pottery figurines or stone sculptures.

And in the eyes of the figurines, the clusters of green light became brighter and more dazzling:
It seemed that as long as someone gave the order, they could rush to the battlefield at any time and travel thousands of miles along the earth veins at any time.

"It feels like... I have stored enough strength..."

Shen Le, who was in a state of concentration, also felt this change. Each of the dotted lines drawn by his mental power became brighter and more solid;
The pattern made of dotted lines shimmered and swayed gently in the meditation world, and it felt like a slight touch would teleport him along;
Now, the only thing needed... the only thing missing is...

It's direction!
It is the destination of transmission, it is the accurate route!
"So, who's going to show me the way?"

He murmured in his heart. His mental power touched the copper sheet, and in the meditation world, the broken copper tripod instantly shone brightly.

The familiar, concise map, which did not conform to modern map-making standards but was recognizable at a glance, appeared before his eyes. On it, many small dots flickered gently:
“This is where I am…”

Shen Le identified them one by one. He followed the water veins, the mountains, and the small dots on the mountains, groping for them one by one:
"This is the Three Gorges... This is the Twelve Peaks of Wushan... This is Hengshan, this is Lushan... This is Huangshan... This is Zijin Mountain... This is Putuo Mountain..."

After leaving the Twelve Peaks of Wushan Mountain, "the water becomes flat here, and the mountains become steep here", so the first city after leaving the Three Gorges was named Yiling.

The further southeast you go, the flatter the terrain becomes, and the fewer well-known mountains there are. Even so, the copper plates are diligently marked with large and small mountains and rivers, allowing Shen Le to identify them effortlessly.

Shen Le's mind moved on the copper plate, engraving it bit by bit, confirming it bit by bit, and finally, a connection was established, directly reaching Zhuxi Town where he was:
"Here it is! If you can understand, if you can see this map and let it lead you - take me home!"

There was a buzzing sound. From all directions, the earth's energy suddenly gathered and surrounded Shen Le and the terracotta warriors around him.

At this moment, the entire wedding procession seemed to have transformed into a long dragon, a dragon connected to the earth veins. Its body was slender and its joints were distinct:

It absorbs the earth's energy and is gently supported by the earth's veins. With a shake of its head, a swing of its tail, and a press of its four claws, it can cruise along the earth's veins.

Although they could only move around in areas they were familiar with when they were caught by the Special Affairs Bureau, after falling into Shen Le's hands, under the guidance of the copper piece, they seemed to have opened up the entire map:
"rise--"

"Let's go!!!"

With a loud bang, all the people carrying the dressing box knelt, leaned over, gave a loud shout, and shouldered the dressing box.

Whether it was a copper seal the size of a palm or a thousand-worker's bed as big as a small house that required sixteen people to carry, they were all lifted high off the ground at the same time;

The drummers played trumpets and suonas and beat gongs and drums. The wedding procession marched in unison to the beat of the gongs and drums:

"go!"

They turned around and took a step. At the same time, with a "bang", a small four-rotor drone crashed into the stone wall:

"Damn it! The plane exploded!"

There was a scream from the foot of the mountain. After receiving the news from Gu Yulin, the local special affairs bureau immediately rushed over.

They couldn't climb the mountain or dig a hole, but at least they released seven or eight drones, which took turns to drill into the cave where Shen Le was:

"Are these the wedding figurines that were captured earlier? ... I remember that the place where they were captured was about a hundred kilometers away from here?"

A group of operators gathered in front of the screen and stared at it. The figurines were neatly arranged, motionless, as if they had been there for hundreds of years and would be there for hundreds more.

They waited and waited, until the drone's battery was almost running out and they needed to choose between withdrawing the drone and holding on a little longer to avoid missing out on any intelligence. Suddenly, those warriors moved!
They beat gongs and drums, carried dowries, and carried sedan chairs in an orderly manner...

Walking into the stone wall...

The pilot was so surprised that his hand shook and the plane crashed on the spot.

"This is troublesome..."

"Want to go in and retrieve it?"

"That's too dangerous... You've seen the way in, it's not for people..."

"Or just report the damage?"

"You can report it, but I won't. Reporting a loss requires a report to be written and forms to be filled out. It's simply too much..."

"By the way, where is Shen Le? Why do we only see the team of clay figurines but no one?"

"Should we send another drone in to look for it?"

"Do it……"

The local operatives were talking about it, some were chatting, some were recycling machines, some were calling and sending videos to the Magic City, and everyone was busy working.

As for the stone wall, it was intact without any signs of being broken. Where did Shen Le and the clay figurines go? This question...

Well, since you are a member of the Special Affairs Bureau, you should have some acceptance of some special phenomena, right?

Shen Le lay on the big bed, swaying, and was carried away comfortably. The light flickered, drawing a bright line on the copper sheet, indicating the direction to move forward.

When they were near Mount Lushan, the team suddenly paused. At the same time, a dragon in the water palace far below the mountain raised its head slightly:

"Oh, little guy, you're growing up fast."

The blue dragon turned over and fell silent. The wedding procession paused for a moment, then sped up and moved forward at full speed:
go!
go!
Follow the earth veins, follow the dragon veins, and move forward quickly!
Our destination is at the end of the dragon vein, just before the estuary!
With a loud bang, a whole row of clay figurines rose out of the ground and were neatly lined up in Shen Le's studio at the place where they had disappeared.

The little oil lamp rushed over immediately:
[Shen Le? Shen Le! How come you went out vertically and came back horizontally? ! ! ]

　It's the end of the month! It's the end of the month!

　　Vote for the cats!

　　The cat has a cold, sucks its red nose and stretches its paws~~~
