The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 474 Yun Kun is back—but Shen Le is missing again. Help!
Shen Le didn't really want to cooperate in a few more experiments.

This is not his specialty!
It's not his area of expertise!

He is a cultural relic restorer. Practicing Buddhism is just an accident. It is a way for him to make things convenient for himself. He doesn't make a living from this!
Moreover, the method of teleportation he used - basic talismans were fine, but for teleportation positioning, in addition to using the talismans given to him by the clay sculptures, he could only rely on copper plates for positioning -

The copper plate cannot be opened to researchers for viewing, nor can various talismans be dug out from it.

Even if Shen Le cooperated with them a hundred times, a thousand times, he would not get any results...

"Mr. Shen, we don't need you to do it yourself!" The researcher who came forward to persuade him, or in other words, to beg him, was very experienced in how to communicate with people with supernatural powers in the mountains and hills.

As soon as he saw Shen Le's hesitation, he immediately took out Plan B and earnestly offered an alternative:
"It's like this. In our research institute, we have made many attempts to draw the Five Mountains True Shape Talisman or similar talismans. Now we just need to put them into practice.

No, no, no, you don’t have to teleport yourself! You just need to sense it, sense it, and see if you can locate it, if you can locate it accurately…”

"Can't you experiment on your own?"

Shen Le glanced at them. The researcher's face instantly fell:

"Of course I can, but..."

But, budget, budget. Energy is conserved, matter is conserved, although money is not conserved——

Economic theory tells us that labor creates wealth. As long as the working people continue to work, there will be a steady stream of wealth produced.
However, the wealth that can be mobilized in the short term will not change much.

If there is, it must be that they have taken away other people's budgets, or overdrawn future budgets, such as concentrating the money of the next 20 to 30 years to spend now in some way...

In short, although the institute has ample funds at its disposal, they cannot be spent indiscriminately.

Not to mention, even if they had enough money, they wouldn't have enough photolithography machines to help them carve jade talismans endlessly...

With just one lithography machine, half of its production capacity has recently been allocated to help various secret realms carve teleportation talismans...

The human photolithography machine is even worse! When using divine thoughts to carve jade talismans, the deviation is too large, and the processing error can be as small as 0.5 mm!
"Mr. Shen, please help us take a look - just take a look! Really! Try it out early, next time you go out to teleport, you can go to other places, right? For example, the imperial capital -"

Shen Le was quietly moved. Seeing his expression change, the researcher immediately held up a stack of jade talismans with both hands:
"That's all! That's all! Just read these and that's all! Thank you so much!"

Shen Le took it and sat cross-legged. The beads on his wrist lit up quietly, and then the talisman handed over by the researcher came next.

Shen Le's spiritual power followed the guidance of the talisman and went farther and farther...

A ray of light quietly lit up on the copper sheet, extending to the northeast. Extending out of the surrounding mountains, extending out of the Qinling Mountains, and running wildly along a vertical mountain range -

"Stop! Stop it!!!"

There was a voice shouting in his ears. Shen Le was startled and opened his eyes, and saw that his two feet were already sunk into the mud:

Fortunately, in order to test earth escape at any time, this laboratory is made of mud, not concrete, or even rammed earth.

Otherwise, Shen Le would probably have to use a jackhammer to save his feet?
Anyway, Shen Le, who was embarrassed, moved his toes as if nothing had happened. The brown-yellow soil rippled and spread out under his feet like waves, making room for him.

Soon, Shen Le took a light step and walked out of the flat, smooth and flowing circle that sunk about five centimeters:

"Shall we try again?"

"No problem! Thank you for your help!"

The researcher kindly pushed an ergonomic chair for him and unfolded the leg rest underneath so that he could lie back comfortably in the chair.

Shen Le glanced over and suspected that he was afraid that he would suddenly fall and there would be no time to rescue him:

What I mean is, if there is a watchtower that is dozens of meters high, or a chimney that is hundreds of meters high, would you still like to invite me to meditate on the top of the tower or the chimney?
But the ergonomic chair was indeed comfortable to sit on, so he did not refuse. He leaned back calmly and held the jade talisman.

The second meditation began. He activated the talisman, spread his mental power, and ran wildly along the path given by the copper plate. Halfway through the run, he was pushed awake again:

"Mr. Shen! ——Mr. Shen!"

When I opened my eyes again, I saw that the entire ergonomic chair had sunk halfway and was about to be dug out of the ground...

Activating the teleportation talisman and positioning at the same time seemed to have failed. Shen Le felt it and it seemed that the working principle of this teleportation talisman did not support positioning to the end at one time:

"Let's get going first!"

"Correct your direction as you go!"

"There are so many nodes anyway! We can still make it to the next node and then confirm the next node!"

"It's not a one-time teleportation that will reach the destination directly. We need to absorb power and supply energy along the ground veins all the way! In this case, walk slower, which will make it easier to locate!"

Shen Le could roughly understand this idea, and it was not wrong. In this case, he had to change the way he worked:
He untied the beads on his wrist, held the jade talisman directly, and concentrated on sensing it. This time it was not so smooth, but fortunately, as the heat flowed, the jade talisman still lit up layer by layer;

After lighting it up, he tried his best to communicate with the copper sheet, hoping that the destination location would appear on it. After a long time, the copper sheet finally hummed softly and unfolded in the meditation world:

The light spots change from blurry to clear, from dim to bright.

Shen Le stared at the copper piece for a long time in the meditation world, counting the water veins one by one and the famous mountains one by one, and finally woke up:
"Is this pointing to Mount Hengshan, the Northern Mountain?"

"Yes Yes Yes!!!"

The researchers were delighted. The jade talismans were sent over without informing the destination in advance, and it was great that Mr. Shen could tell them where they were pointing to!

It means they succeeded!
"Can you...can you confirm where in Hengshan?"

With a loud bang, a huge map was spread out in front of Shen Le. It was a military map with a very fine scale and large areas of contour lines...

Shen Le frowned and looked at it for a long time, then shook his head. Just kidding, the accuracy of the copper map is too touching, even inferior to the national map used in elementary school textbooks;

He had already used up all his strength to recognize Mount Hengshan, the Northern Peak, on this map, and he simply couldn't do it with more precision!
Not to mention, he was not very familiar with this military map.

Instead of showing him a contour map, it is better to show him a satellite map. After all, that is more intuitive and you can see the peaks and valleys at a glance...

"This...Mr. Shen, can't you add a little more precision? Really?"

The researcher almost begged. Shen Le sighed and shook his head helplessly:

"If the scroll and the compass were still there, I could still give it a try. Now..."

The scroll and the compass are still on the sea, forming a trinity with Yun Kun, carrying out some unknown mission.

Although Shen Le’s research work here is important, the workload over there is also not light. There is no reason to call them back early just for this purpose!

He had no choice, and the researchers couldn't force him. He signaled his assistant to make a phone call to ask where Yun Kun was and when he would be back, while sending jade talismans one after another:

"This... points to Mount Song?"

"Is this Tarzan?"

"Well... uh... let me count... is there a map of the entire country's mountains? Just mark the mountains and peaks!"

He sensed and verified them one by one. In the end, the Five Mountains True Shape Talisman could basically point to the correct direction, but the accuracy was not yet clear;

There are five jade talismans left, one pointing to Miaofeng Mountain outside the imperial capital, one pointing to Junshan Mountain in the center of Dongting Lake. There are three more:
"this is not OK!"

"this is not OK!"

"This doesn't work either. The accuracy is too low. There's no way to arouse resonance at all! Where exactly are you using for positioning? It's totally inaccurate!"

Even though he rejected three of them and the accuracy of seven others could not be verified, the researchers were already grateful.

God have mercy on me, doing this teleportation research is so painful!

Without a cheat code, no one will help you verify. You have no idea whether the object you are sending to is lost due to a transmission error or the transmission accuracy is not high enough and it has fallen into some corner...

Oh, there is another possibility. The signal was transmitted in the right direction, but for various reasons, it was buried deep underground and could not be dug out. Of course, the signal was gone too...

Keep him here!

Stay as long as you can!
Help with more work and verify more things!
Even if I can't keep it for a long time, it would be good if I could verify one hundred, no, fifty, no, even thirty talismans!
"Thank you so much, Mr. Shen!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Shen!"

"Mr. Shen, please sit down... Have some tea... This is Dongting Biluochun, produced from the old trees in the center... What are you having for dinner? We still have many special dishes here..."

Several people were circling around him, serving him tea and snacks, and they seemed eager to give him a massage.

Shen Le was unwilling to do so and did not want to stay any longer, so he simply extended his hand:

"Are there any other talismans that need to be verified? Since you are here, just bring them all over and let me get them done at once!"

It was impossible to get it all done in one go. After getting the idea of "contour map = Five Mountains True Shape Talisman = teleportation destination", the researchers were greatly inspired. They traced the map, wrote programs, worked on algorithms, extracted key features, and came up with hundreds of possible talismans in one go.

Not satisfied with this, he is still applying for high-precision mapping, planning to use photolithography to insert the three-dimensional shapes of all the mountains into the talisman, so as to outline the clear points:

Therefore, the jade talisman that was delivered to Shen Le was towed by a small trailer. In total, seven small trailers came over...

"Why don't you just drive a forklift over here?"

Shen Le looked at the small flatbed trucks that were used to transport bottled water, A4 paper, small instruments and small barrels of reagents in the research institute. So many of them came at once that his eyes twitched.

A small cart with five layers of jade talismans piled on it, 9 on each layer, a total of 45. He felt that he could finish it if he gritted his teeth;

With two small cars and 90 jade talismans, he felt that at most he could stay here for one more day;
Three, four, seven came at once...

Are you trying to squeeze my labor to death?

"Oh, Mr. Shen, please be more considerate of us, really be more considerate of us." The researcher bowed to him pitifully:

"This teleportation talisman will be of great benefit to the Special Affairs Bureau and the country! Besides, when you handed over the task to us, you hoped that we could produce results quickly, right?
Please, please, once you have finished your work, we will request a helicopter to pick you up from the mountain and take you directly to the airport. This place is too remote, and it takes hours to get there!"

This is the task you threw at me!

You threw it!
You yourself don't want to practice, and don't want to bear such a great risk with your physical body, so you throw it to the Special Affairs Bureau, and let the Special Affairs Bureau provide manpower, funds, and technological power to help you crack it!

I'm just asking you to help me speed up the process. You don't want to agree to it, do you?
He smiled apologetically, poured tea, and presented a bunch of local specialties:
Of course, there are no illegal items, but there are still piles of the best oranges produced in the best local orchards, the most delicious fish produced in the clear mountain streams, and spicy rabbit heads.

Alas, even if they point out which jade talismans work and which don’t, they can feed the results to the program and let the program continue running.

In order to achieve results, in order to bring back discoveries made overseas as quickly as possible, and in order to ensure the safe return of colleagues performing dangerous missions overseas, what does it matter if you just put on a little smile?
Shen Le sighed for their hospitality. He checked the location of this place with his phone and found it was indeed remote. It would take at least three hours to walk to the nearest big city.

That's it, and we still have a special car to take us directly to the airport. There's no other way, the road is too difficult to walk on, and we have to go around and around.

He has never been in a helicopter!
It’s nice to be able to sit once!
Shen Le'an calmed down and continued to help. One person stood on his left hand and another on his right hand, responsible for receiving and handing over the jade talisman. He wished he could sit still and not have to get up to go to the toilet.

Shen Le had cultivated himself and could endure a period of time without food or water, so he could put all his energy into sensing the location of the jade talisman:

"this is not OK……"

"This won't work either..."

"This... is a bit crooked. Did you intend to locate it at Tianzhu Mountain? It's located to the side! It's off to the side. Hmm, I doubt it's a hundred kilometers away."

He sensed one, threw one, sensed another, and threw another, without having to look at the label on the box, without having to consider where the jade talisman was originally drawn, and without having to check the map.

Three or five researchers were surrounding him. Some were responsible for passing the jade talisman, some were responsible for recording what Shen Le said, some were responsible for waking him up at any time, and some even carried an engineer shovel, ready to dig him up at any time...

Mr. Shen’s work efficiency is so high!
We must keep a close eye on this kind of expert and never let him escape accidentally!
They worked as hard as they could, just like an assembly line. After one day's work, they worked another day. The photolithography machine behind them was engraving the jade talisman, and it was almost smoking:
Hold on for one more day!
One more day!
Yun Kun will be back in seven or eight days. When the time comes, he will follow Mr. Shen's instructions and bring the scroll and compass to the base here, so that he can locate the target accurately.

As long as they achieve this step, their research progress can take a huge step forward!
Shen Le intensively sensed these talismans, looking at a hundred or eighty of them a day, and felt that his proficiency was increasing rapidly.

It is impossible to increase mental power significantly, not that fast. However, the speed of using mental power to penetrate the talisman, induce resonance of the copper sheet, and then locate through the copper sheet is rapidly increased.

Originally, it would take at least seven or eight minutes to sense a jade talisman from entering to exiting the state of meditation, but it gradually decreased to five minutes, three minutes, and two minutes...

The more skilled you are, the higher the sensing accuracy. The higher the sensing accuracy, the more likely you are to sense something strange:

For example, the condensation of earth energy. The Five Mountains True Shape Talisman, or other similar talismans, look like drawing contour maps, but in fact, they are depicting the earth energy of this area;

However, the higher and more majestic the mountain is, the deeper the earth's energy is, and the easier it is to locate it in the talisman.

Another example is the other things mixed in the earth's energy. For example, the natures of the Five Mountains are different. In addition to the pure and deep earth's energy, there are also various energy such as gold, wood, water, and fire.

For example, the river water flowing through the mountains, or the various minerals hidden under the mountains...

"I feel like if I can master these and outline them all, I can teleport to the right place accurately, without having to try my luck in a large mountain range!"

Shen Le was very excited and even eager to try.

Just like the clay sculptures, they carried him to teleport, there must be some special things that facilitated their positioning;

For example, can we set up beacons in advance among the Five Mountains or other teleportation targets, such as setting up a specific arrangement of the five elements or other arrangements to guide the teleportation location?
If that's the case, then a part of the teleportation array he saw in the Baishanheishui Secret Realm or the Donghai Secret Realm should be used for positioning, right?
"It would be great if I could master this method of positioning... For example, in the deepest layer of the White Mountain and Black Water Secret Realm, in that secret realm that seems to be made up of jade rings, could I set up a teleportation array?"

In that case, I can go whenever I want, pick some spiritual fruits if I want, and catch some spiritual fish if I want.

You can go once a week, or once a day, and get the freshest spiritual fruits. You will never have to worry about the spiritual fruits not being well preserved and you having to eat only dried fruits!

Thinking of this, Shen Le couldn't help but become a little distracted.

That night, he took a jade talisman and casually exerted his mental power amid the researcher's request, "This is the last one, this is the last one, please help, help, help."

Hey, the talisman engraved in this jade talisman is quite interesting!

It doesn't feel like it was carved by a photolithography machine. During the carving process, some other forces must have been triggered...

Water, fire, metal, wood, and... and... this strange power, what is it...

Shen Le subconsciously increased his strength. Heat flowed into his palms, and he input his mental power, trying to see the talisman more clearly.

The copper sheet hummed and unfolded again in the meditation world. A point of light rose quietly and shone brightly:

"Enlarge it a little more... Enlarge it a little more..."

Shen Le murmured silently in his meditation. In the meditation world, the bronze tripod rotated silently, the map enlarged little by little, and the water and mountain shapes came towards him.

In the water veins, it seemed as if fish were leaping with joy, and fishermen were fishing, casting nets, spearing fish, and carrying fish home, muttering to themselves as they walked:
"This is precious fish... Eating it will bring you great benefits... After eating it, you will no longer be afraid of getting ulcers..."

Various mountains passed by in front of him. Some were lush and green, some were barren, some were rich in gold and jade, and some were rich in magical herbs and fruits.

Of course, on almost every mountain, there are all kinds of wild animals, including strange beasts, rare beasts, auspicious beasts, and fierce beasts;
Some people traveled all over the mountains and rivers, recording the appearance and calls of these beasts, the signs they represent, and of course, one particularly important point:
Can I eat it? Does it taste good? How should I eat it? What are the effects of eating it?

You guys really eat everything!!!

Shen Le wanted to focus on the details of the mountains and rivers, but the camera moved too fast, and his mental power just flashed by and couldn't stop at all.

He was a little anxious, muttering silently in his heart:
"Slow down! Slow down! Slow down! Let me see clearly!!!"

The light and shadow flew, and finally, they reached the location where the talisman was locked. The talisman became larger and clearer, and gradually, it turned into a picture, rushing down:

It shrank smaller and smaller, and became finer and finer. By the time it was printed directly on the copper plate, it had shrunk to a tiny dot.

However, Shen Le used his mental power to look carefully and was still able to see every detail of the picture inside this small dot:
The mountains are so high and steep that there is no end in sight. It took several days and nights to get out.

The clear streams in the mountains flow and merge into water veins, forming ponds, small lakes, and hanging waterfalls, nourishing the plants, birds, and animals...

not enough……

I need to see more clearly...

Those figures, those strange power properties, how are they distributed, and how are they drawn...

A little closer, a little closer!!!

The copper sheet suddenly lit up. Before Shen Le could react, the golden bead in his dantian started spinning rapidly, and an extremely complex talisman responded to the copper sheet's call and exerted its power.

In an instant, Shen Le sank into the ground, quickly moved forward along the earth veins, and disappeared...

Researcher: ???
Why did he suddenly burrow into the ground and leave?
Have we offended Mr. Shen in any way?

Or was it because he was given too much work to do that he became impatient and went home?
Wait! We still have the teleportation bracelet, how did he get away?!

As they reviewed their mistakes, they made phone calls. They called the leaders of the research institute, the leaders of the Special Affairs Bureau, Shen Le, and Shen Le's family.

Did he go home?
At least let us know when you get home so we can rest assured!

"Mr. Shen didn't go home!"

"The spirits in his house said that he didn't show up at home!"

"Yun Kun just came back. Yun Kun was looking for him... He brought back a bunch of gifts and planned to give them to him, but then he found out that he was gone..."

"Did you find him? Is he near the base?"

"Hello? Hello? Hello?"
