The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 466 Shen Le: Change back to the original form! Don't make me suffer a second time! (ask for the guaranteed monthly ticket)

"Your eyes can deceive you."

"Your ears can deceive you."

"Your imagination can deceive you, too."

Shen Le walked around the statue carrying the dowry. He originally looked like a normal person, but suddenly he turned into a standing clay sculpture of a yellow-skinned man, turning back and forth and muttering to himself.

After muttering the third sentence, before he could summarize, a silver light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and the little oil lamp couldn't wait to continue:

[But I don’t know math! If I don’t know math, I just don’t know it~~~]

"Green Lantern!!!"

Shen Le turned his head. A silver ball of light happily floated over and circled around him:
[Shen Le, can you do it? Can you do it? Can you do it? ]

If I knew math, I would apply to the School of Mathematics. If not, I could apply to the School of Physics.

The School of Mathematics and the School of Physics, although the corresponding majors can only allow students to become teachers or enter research institutes, they have a wide range of career options.

With strong mathematical skills, you can easily switch to computer science, finance, or business management like Guanghua School.

After graduation, you can earn a stable annual salary of one million and achieve financial independence in a few years. If you want to go to Europe to feed pigeons, you can go feed pigeons. If you want to climb Mount Everest, you can hire a few Sherpas to help carry your luggage.

Why should I plunge headfirst into the field of archaeology and museum studies, run to the wilderness, and repair ancient buildings with dust and mud in my hands?
Of course, I do have hobbies, and I did gain financial freedom from them. Well, the process of achieving them was rather weird, so that’s another story.

However, entering the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics is a smoother path after all, but not everyone can take this smooth path -

The names of the School of Mathematics, the School of Physics, and the Lunatic Asylum are not called for nothing!
The veins on Shen Le's forehead jumped up and he pressed them down, then jumped up again. But he couldn't answer "yes" against his will:
Little Oil Lamp can really give him a bunch of math problems to do!
In order to maintain his parents' face, Shen Le had to find another way. He frowned and shouted:
"Qingdeng! If you have nothing to do, go and work! Why are you looking at the Headshot Throne when you have nothing to do?"

The ball of light sank, the small oil lamp murmured, and disappeared into the circuit. Shen Le sighed and circled the clay sculpture twice more, becoming more and more confused:

Your eyes can deceive you, your ears can deceive you, and your imagination can deceive you—but what about CT?
Will CT work?
At that time, in order to explore the skeleton of each clay sculpture and the cracks inside each clay sculpture, he pushed these clay sculptures one by one to do CT scans!
Those CT images and the three-dimensional images reconstructed from the CT images are still saved in his computer!
In the three-dimensional image, each clay sculpture is in human form, without pointed ears or tails, and their appearance is also human!

Can these clay sculptures with magical powers deceive CT?

He thought about it but got no result, so he took out his phone and asked one by one. First he tagged Gu Yulin:
"Can you help me check if there is anything that changes shape when the Special Affairs Bureau is repairing something and needs to be repaired from the beginning?"

Gu Yulin: ???

I don't make it!

I'm not an expert in this area!
Forget it, I'm just a liaison, I just need to put myself in the right position. Since Shen Le has a problem, I will transfer him to the Special Affairs Bureau and let the colleagues in charge of uploading and issuing orders ask the relevant personnel...

Shen Le didn't consider him as the only channel. After sending the message, the second thing he opened was the dialog box with Dr. Qin:

"Doctor Qin, please tell me, can monsters fool CT scans?"

Doctor Qin: ???

I just opened a small clinic!
Even though it's a clinic for monsters, it's just a clinic!
Which eye of yours saw that there is a CT scan installed in my clinic?
Who would buy such high-end stuff for no reason? If you buy a CT machine, do you also need to buy an MRI machine? Do you also need to buy a series of various instruments?

I have a small clinic like this, and I buy this and that. When can I ever make back my money?
Fortunately, the principles of X-ray and CT are similar, so he could answer this question. He replied decisively:

"It can be blurred and interfered with, but it's hard to deceive. What's the matter? Is your monster friend in trouble? Introduce him to me!"

Well, this is the difficulty of being a monster. If your child transforms into a human and wants to go to school with humans, that's great. It's not difficult. Just do your transformation well in your daily life.

However, when it comes to physical examination, those with poor performance will be exposed as soon as they stand on the scale;

The one with good skills stood in front of the X-ray machine, and the doctor shouted, "Ghost!"

Even if you pass the first two levels, you still can’t handle blood drawing. Dr. Qin once had a bird friend who became a demon and sent his children to school;

As a result, when it came to the blood test, the doctor looked at the red blood cells with nuclei under the microscope and fell into deep thought...

"So, have you ever encountered a situation where a repaired object returns to its original form and needs to be repaired again?"

Shen Le asked sincerely. Doctor Qin was silent for a moment, and then answered helplessly:

"Sorry, I really don't have that. Although I run a clinic here, I also treat living monsters. Living, I mean, with flesh and blood!
Spirit weapons are beyond my repair range. Or, why don't you ask an expert who is good at repairing spirit weapons?"

I have asked Gu Yulin to ask - I don't know if he can find the answer.

Shen Le thanked Dr. Qin and continued to look through his phone and address book.

Alas, it is impossible to find the answer to this kind of thing by looking up the paper. Even if it really happened, the paper would never write about this kind of thing——

There is no other reason, it won’t pass the review. When peer reviewers see this kind of thing, they will just throw it back and ask for revisions, or simply reject it:
WTF?

However, just because it is not written in the paper does not mean that it has not happened in reality. Shen Le asked his connections in the extraordinary circle, and then he asked his tutor:

"Boss, it's like this... Have you ever encountered this before? Has anyone in the entire cultural relic restoration community ever encountered this before?"

Professor Han has been very high-spirited recently. Although his student Shen Le failed the civil service exam and couldn't even enter the museum, he gave back to the school and was better than those students who entered the museum:
He built a huge laboratory so that his junior colleagues could do experiments on a large scale without having to compete with students from other departments for equipment!
This alone has helped our department a lot. Not to mention the ordinary-looking wooden sword that was recently delivered...

Over the years, the world has become increasingly strange, especially for those who engage in field archaeology and cultural relics restoration, who always encounter some things that are difficult to describe.

Just last month, Professor Xu, who went to the northwest to explore an ancient tomb, developed more than a dozen pustules all over his body. They were painful and itchy, and he went to the hospital several times but the symptoms did not heal.

As a result, when I came to his house and walked past the wooden sword, I shivered all over and spat out two mouthfuls of black phlegm. Immediately, the pustules started to itch violently:
He rushed home, reached out and scratched it, and powder fell off. Two days later, the abscess closed up and healed!

All right!

Professor Han was very concerned about this. He secretly took the peach wood sword to the dean and told him about it. The dean did not make it public, but found an inconspicuous place in the college collection room and hid the peach wood sword.

Then, find a reason to ask all the teachers to go to the collection room for a tour, and then ask the teachers to bring their students to the collection room in batches...

You know what, it really works. Most of the teachers and students didn't feel anything, but a few who had just been out in the wild, down in tombs, down in ancient kilns, and down in places with heavy yin energy couldn't help but shiver a few times:
A warm current appeared from nowhere, rushing down the spine along the neck, and rushing to the forehead along the cervical vertebrae.

Wisps of something like gray smoke flashed by, and people who were not paying attention or had poor perception could not see it.

However, the teachers and students who were troubled themselves felt that their bodies were lighter and less cold, and they no longer felt the pain in their necks, shoulders, backs, and legs.

All in all, this stuff works!
Really useful!

"Can we have two more of these peach wood swords? We need them when we are on the scene with our students!"

Professors who specialize in archaeology know a little bit about this, and someone immediately came to ask about it. Professor Han was both proud and embarrassed:
"I only have this one... it was given to me by my student... you know, gifts from students are a token of their love, and it would be inappropriate for us teachers to just ask for it..."

What’s more, the student has graduated!
Nowadays, teachers' ethics and conduct are strictly managed. If a teacher asks for something while students are at school and is reported, it will be considered extortion on the spot.

If you are unlucky, you will go straight in. If you are lucky, you will still be punished and may even be fired.

As for after his students graduate, even if he is willing to give back to the school, would he still feel comfortable being a teacher?
"Ah, this...can this be purchased?"

The professor from the archaeology department was very envious. If it was Professor Han's own thing, he would just borrow it. They have been friends for decades, so it's okay to borrow it shamelessly.
However, this thing has clearly been donated to the school, so it’s not easy to ask for a loan. You need it, but other professors or other projects don’t?
When it comes to purchasing, Professor Han is not sure. First, he doesn't know how much Shen Le can produce. Second, there is a more troublesome thing:
"What name are you going to report it under? How are you going to account for it?"

"This……"

The top university in the country!
There are regular audits, and if something strange happens, it may even alert the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision to come and investigate!

When the time comes, we will check and purchase a Five Thunder Peach Wood Sword. The reason is that ghosts may appear at the project site?
Let’s not talk about whether this reason can pass the review - considering the existence of the Special Affairs Bureau, maybe it can really pass the review - even if it passes by luck, what if the matter is exposed, won’t the academy have any face?
The school has no respect for itself!

"If not, I'll buy it with my own money!"

The professor was very determined. Nothing is more important than life safety. If a person dies, everything is gone!

His daughter hasn't even been admitted to college yet!
He needs his father to support him from behind!

"Okay, I'll ask for you." Professor Han agreed generously. He paused and frowned:
"But I can't guarantee the price! The prices of these magic tools are hard to tell. The most I can guarantee is that you can buy the real thing!"

He sent a message, and Shen Le seemed to have the same idea and also sent a message back.

Text, photos, CT images, and comparison pictures before and after restoration were packed into a large package and sent to Professor Han’s mailbox:

"Boss, please ask for me! Ask other teachers in the circle! Ask for guidance! I can pay for the guidance!"

It's like a sleepy head meets a pillow. There's no need to pay for guidance, it's too ugly.
However, it would be great if there were a few more peach wood swords! For the sake of the school and his colleagues, he risked his life!

"Um... Boss, the Five Thunder Peach Wood Sword I gave you is extremely powerful. It can suppress thousand-year-old monsters. It's not easy to make. It might cost millions.

If it's just a warning and to remove some of the negative energy, would a small size be okay?"

Okay!

What's wrong?
If the cost is over a million, the selling price is probably tens of millions! Even if it is a unique business, it is hard to say whether it will be worth hundreds of millions!

A smaller and cheaper one can be put aside if nothing goes wrong. If something goes wrong and the peach wood sword changes color or gets damaged, just withdraw immediately. It is already very good!

"No problem! I'll go ask for you first. Once you find out, you can give me the peach wood sword!"

Professor Han was very attentive and went to help ask questions. The professors on the archaeological side also tried their best to help ask questions for their own safety:

"Have you ever encountered such a situation?"

"Have you ever encountered this?"

"Your Excellency..."

"Your house..."

When there are many people, there is a lot of information. After asking around, several experts gave Shen Le the answer he expected:
"It's happened to me! I was repairing a bronze lamp and it was almost fixed, but when I came back the next day, it was broken!
Not only was it broken, but its head, which looked like a duck the day before, turned into a crocodile head the next day! It was also broken into three pieces!"

The expert was furious when he thought of this. He had just started working in the industry and could start repairing things independently. He almost got arrested when such an accident happened!
Suspect that he destroyed cultural relics, suspected that he replaced real cultural relics with fake ones he made, suspected that he stole cultural relics!

Fortunately, when he was working, every step was recorded, with photos, and where there were no photos, there were sketches;
A colleague working nearby saw that he was not the last one to leave when the door was locked that day, and there was also an alibi record that night;
The most important thing is that on the crocodile head that was broken into three pieces, there were traces of him repairing the duck head...

Thanks to these records, the teacher saved him from being taken away. Even so, he was sidelined for three years and could only help others.

"What happened next? Was the bronze lamp repaired? How was it repaired?"

"How else can I fix it? - Glue it back together piece by piece, what else?!"

Professor Han thanked him repeatedly and asked for the records, photos and sketches from that year to send to Shen Le.

In addition to this expert in bronze restoration, there was also an expert in porcelain restoration and an expert in jade restoration, who encountered similar situations.

Shen Le expressed his gratitude and sighed at the pitfalls that these senior teachers had encountered:

Alas, it seems that this batch of clay sculptures really need to be repaired again... What I mean is, can't you just reveal your true form from the beginning and let me repair it obediently?

Why do I have to go through the trouble twice and make me suffer twice?
"Qingdeng! Have you finished making your Five Thunder Peach Wood Swords? If you have, give me ten of them first. I will send them to my mentor!"

He shouted loudly. With a crackle, a thin flash of lightning fell on the table and drew a big cross on the A4 paper:
[No! How can it be that fast! It took me three days to finish one! Ten would take a month! I also promised the Special Affairs Bureau!]

"Can you hurry up?"

Shen Le grabbed the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the wastebasket:

"My tutor is waiting for it! We've already graduated, and I asked him for help, so I have to bring some souvenirs with me—"

[It can’t be faster! This is the Five Thunder Peach Wood Sword, not an ordinary lightning-struck wooden sword. Just chop it once and it will be fine!]

Do you know how difficult it is to form a five-thunder cycle? Do you know how difficult it is to make a five-thunder peach wood sword with such a small amount of electricity in a switch cabinet? 】

Shen Le was defeated and left. He could only send a peach wood sword to his mentor to express his gratitude for the time being. For more, he could only wait for the results of Xiao Youdeng's work.

However, the muttering of the small oil lamp gave him some inspiration:
"Can you guys restore it to its original form? Can you? Restore it to its original form, so I can fix it once and for all, without having to go through it all over again?"

Shen Le held the Five Thunder Peach Wood Sword in his left hand and a spray bottle in his right hand, and walked step by step along the long line of clay figurines.

The peach wood swords were like teaching sticks, falling one by one, and passing just an inch across the foreheads of the clay figurines:
"Can't? Can't? Really can't? You can't either?"

The clay figurines were silent. None of them changed into the shape of animals, nor did any of them flash with light or cast any spells.

In the whole studio, the little ones stood in a row and watched Shen Le teaching the clay figurines a lesson. They stopped flashing lightning, pulling saws, and dancing, and seemed to be trembling with fear.

Just as Shen Le was halfway there, a bell rang from the shrine:
"when--"

what happened?
Do you have anything to say?

Shen Le stopped and looked back. The bell rang continuously, ringing 108 times in one breath.

When the eighteenth sound came, a faint ray of light passed over the clay figurine;

The thirty-sixth sound, another ray of light passed by;
After the one hundred and eight sounds were rang out, all the clay figurines seemed to become brighter and more vibrant.

Is this a way of salvation?

Is it to relieve the resentment of the clay figurines, or to cleanse the evil spirit from them?
It looks like it's quite useful! At least, the power in the clay figurines seems to be purer, and the flow of power is smoother...

The Buddha statue in this shrine doesn’t seem to be doing much work normally, but it seems to be very reliable when it does this!

Even Shen Le felt refreshed and relaxed in the sound of the long bells, and the irritability and annoyance he had just felt almost disappeared.

The door of the shrine opened, and a woman in a silk dress stepped out and bowed in front of Shen Le:
[They said that they did not use tricks to hide the truth from their master on purpose, but they were simply too weak to return to their original form.

If you smash them directly and then reshape them into clay bodies, you can directly shape them into monster forms, but in that case, they will definitely be seriously injured and may not recover in a hundred years. Please have mercy on me, Master~~~]

[Please have mercy~~~]

Pink, white, light red, goose yellow, dark green, all of them are dressed in silk dresses and bowing down.

"Oh, forget it." Shen Le couldn't get angry anymore after being begged by them. He put away the peach wood sword and circled around the clay sculpture of the yellow-skinned man again:
"Ask it if there are any hidden injuries inside that I need to repair. If there are any, tell me quickly and I'll take it for another round of CT scan!"

This time, Luo Qun was silent for an exceptionally long time. Shen Le suspected that she wanted to explain to these clay sculptures what CT was - this was really a troublesome project.

After a long while, the skirt fluttered and turned in front of Shen Le:
[The master had previously mobilized the power of earth to repair the clay model, and had already repaired its interior. Now, only the exterior remains to be repaired, and it will be as good as new - it can even help the master with work! ]

"Forget it. Just tell him to stand still and stop dropping any more dirt on me." Shen Le sighed, grabbed the mud ball, and started working little by little.

The yellow-skinned man's face is full of pits and pits, with patches missing here and there. He needs to apply fine mud first, and then roll a cotton ball made of cotton wool wrapped in spun silk on it to make the mud layer fine and smooth.

Then, use a knife and a bamboo stick to make patterns little by little to make the fine hairs on the yellow skin's face;
For the missing ear, you need to cut a bamboo stick of the corresponding length and insert it into the clay sculpture. Then use a wooden repair knife to stick the fine clay layer by layer onto the bamboo stick.
The tail hanging down from the back of the collar is also missing half of its end, and needs to be connected to the main body with a bamboo stick wrapped with fine linen, and then covered with fine mud layer by layer...

The amount of restoration work is roughly equivalent to redoing half of the clay sculpture.

Poor Shen Le's sculpture skills were only average, he could barely make a clay model, and it was really difficult for him to make it lifelike and make the added parts blend seamlessly with the original parts;
For handmade dishes, you have to take your time to cook and adjust the process. If you feel that the dish is not good enough after it is finished, you can just scrape off some of the clay and cook it again.

The clay figurine was only 1.2 meters tall, so he had to bend down slightly when repairing the head, and sit on the ground when repairing the tail, which made him exhausted:
After the whole clay sculpture was repaired, he cried out "ouch", lay down on the ground, and pounded his arms and legs:

"You guys go paint it... You know how to paint, right? You don't need me to teach you, right? I need to take a break..."

[No problem, leave the painting to us.] Two women in silk dresses passed by him, holding a palette and a brush, and went to work.

The other two women in silk skirts came to Shen Le's side, one massaged his shoulders and the other massaged his legs.

After working for a while, when the yellow skin was painted, Shen Le sighed and got up from the ground, then whispered:
[It said that it was missing its ears and tail before... Of course, the owner is willing to fix it for it, and it is very grateful, which will increase its strength...]

Shen Le: ???
Could you have said this earlier?
What I mean is, could you tell me in advance?

If you had told me earlier, I would have saved myself so much trouble!

[It said that before, in order to kill a Tartar, its tail was cut off and its neck was split. Fortunately, its owner at that time saved it and put it into a clay figurine...

If the owner could give him another tail, he would be very grateful...】

Shen Le: ???
It turns out he is still a warrior!
Damn me!
　Please give me the guaranteed monthly ticket meow meow meow!

　　A new month has begun, and there are three guaranteed monthly tickets. Vote for the cats quickly!
