The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 486: Are we protecting Mr. Shen, or is Mr. Shen protecting us? !
Yan Xijia's forehead buzzed, and her blood pressure soared to 180. She jumped up and ran quickly to the edge of the pond:

"Mr. Shen, wait! Mr. Shen, please come back! It's dangerous inside!!!"

My God, this Mr. Shen is a person who has made great contributions to the Special Affairs Bureau and provided a large number of research results according to the instructions of his superiors. He must not be allowed to get into any trouble!
It's too late. Shen Le flew lightly, seemingly not very fast, but he was much faster than an ordinary person running.

Yan Xijia had just run to the edge of the pond and had just begun to walk around the edge when she saw Shen Le sinking down and going directly into the hole...

She was at a loss for a moment and could only pick up a high-intensity flashlight and shine it inside desperately, trying to provide some light for Shen Le.

This flashlight is used to light the way in the mountains and forests. It is not a flashlight specially designed for cave exploration. It can only barely illuminate the cave wall at a distance of several dozen meters and cannot reflect anything below.

Then, she watched with her own eyes as two silver balls of light flew up from Shen Le's shoulders, one floating above and the other sinking downwards, illuminating the entire cave...

Well, I have to have some real skills to dare to explore the cave. Yan Xijia breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried:

Those who drowned were all good at swimming, and those who were beaten to death were all good at boxing. There are a lot of caves nearby, and except for a few that have been developed, the conditions of most caves are unknown.

For example, even a local like her didn't know the location of this cave, which showed that few people knew about it, not to mention the specific conditions inside.

How big is the bottom? How many holes are connected to each other? Is there an undercurrent? Are there any deep holes that you have to dive into the undercurrent to get into?
Are there any poisonous snakes? Are there any ferocious beasts? Is there any miasma? Even if there is a large amount of carbon dioxide accumulation, it is not good!
Anyone who engages in cave exploration must be extremely cautious and fully prepared, bringing a reliable team and sufficient equipment, as well as enough backup, before daring to give it a try!

Unlike Mr. Shen, he went down alone!
Even if you can fly you can't do this!!!
She had no other choice but to ask for help. She took two steps back, took out her phone, and began to urgently call the rear:
"Mr. Shen has already gone down into the cave... Stop him? There's no way to stop him! He flew down! He said he would be back in half an hour, do you believe that?! The situation in the cave is unclear now, requesting support...

Yes, bring more people, bring enough equipment, and try to bring enough life detection equipment and medical emergency equipment... It would be best if we could invite cave exploration experts to come..."

She spoke a lot, then hung up the phone and sat down weakly. After sitting for a while, she quickly stood up again:

I first rushed to the edge of the cave and took a look. I saw a ball of silver light hanging quietly at the entrance of the cave, illuminating the scene below clearly.

Looking down, she saw that it was about 20 to 30 meters deep, almost vertically downwards. In short, it was not a height that she could safely descend by climbing up the rock wall.

Fortunately, the bottom of the cave was clean, with no people, no limbs, and no blood. Judging from these signs and the light ball that was still hanging, Mr. Shen was probably safe?
She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly returned to the other side of the pool, rolled up her sleeves and got to work.

Level the land!

Cut the weeds!

Light two more bonfires, and the three bonfires will form a V-shape, which will serve as a mark for aerial search!
Before the reinforcement team arrives, quickly prepare a camping area for them!
She was busy, and from time to time she looked back at the cave. The cave was quiet, with no strange sounds, no screams, and no sounds of fighting.

Of course, there was no Shen Le who suddenly popped up and waved at her:

"Hey, I'm fine, I'm out~~~"

No news at this time is good news. Yan Xijia suppressed her worries and worked swiftly.

When she had cleared a patch of bushes and created a camping area the size of five or six tents, she heard a clattering sound approaching from far above her head:

Helicopter!
They actually used a helicopter?!
It seems that the importance of Mr. Shen is much greater than she expected... If she had known this, she would have rushed to hug him even at the risk of her life, and would not have let him enter the cave alone!
The helicopter circled slightly in the air, seemed to have identified the place where the V-shaped fire was burning, and flew straight towards it.

We slowly lowered the altitude to an open area and dropped a rope. Then we saw five or six men fully armed, descending directly to the ground along the rope, followed by several large backpacks.

The leader, who was tied up tightly all over his body, gestured to his companions and strode towards her:

"What's the situation now? How is Mr. Shen?"

"It's been a long time since I went down." Yan Xijia suppressed her pounding heartbeat and answered as calmly as possible. She turned her wrist and checked the time:
"Twenty...seven minutes. There's still no movement or sound in the cave. The ball of light was released when he went in, and it's been shining all the time..."

"Got it." The man nodded and gave a few orders. The people who followed him came quickly, carrying all kinds of equipment.

Yan Xijia only took a quick glance and saw rock climbing nails, rock hooks, climbing ropes; a one-piece diving suit, not sure if it was dry or wet; and some instruments she didn't recognize...

"Let's explore the general situation of the cave first." The leader gave orders.

The third from the bottom of the team, a gentle-looking young man stood out from the crowd, opened a suitcase, and started to assemble the instruments inside.

After assembling, I carried the instrument close to the cave wall and was choosing a spot when the brightness in the cave suddenly soared, getting brighter and brighter...

"Hey! I'm back!"

A cheerful voice broke the tense silence.

Everyone turned around and saw Shen Le's head emerging from the cave, followed by half of his body, and then the whole person emerged, flying out without touching the ground:
"29 minutes! --Huh?"

so many people?

Shen Le descended quickly and stood firmly against the cave wall. He looked left, right, right, left...

Not only did a lot of people come, but also a lot of equipment and instruments. What's more, he seemed to see a helicopter, making a rumbling sound and flying away...

Considering that it would take at least half an hour from the time Ms. Yan made the phone report to the time when others arrived, these people might have really come by helicopter?

"Mr. Shen!"

Before he could figure it out, the leader of the group of people who came later quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake his hand. Shen Le hurriedly shook his hand back, and then he heard the man say:

"I'm glad you made it out safely! Do you want to go in again? Is there anything we can help you with?"

"We must go in again." Shen Le stared at them and observed them carefully. No matter how he looked at them, he still felt that they looked like soldiers.

But that's not necessarily the case. It's not surprising that some of the Special Affairs Bureau's operatives came from military camps and received military training.

He didn't hide anything, he pointed his finger inside and said frankly:
"There's something in there, and I need to get it out - and I may need your help.

Besides, the yin energy deep inside this cave is very strong. You may need to evaluate whether to seal it up or what to do with it, and then... you can decide for yourself?"

Mr. Shen, isn't your statement of "evaluate and decide for yourself" too irresponsible?
The members of the Special Affairs Bureau who rushed over to explore the cave to rescue people were all complaining in their hearts. Only the leader could hold back a little and even smiled:
"Of course. It's late today, so...we can do some exploratory work and try to enter the cave tomorrow?"

Shen Le said it was fine. He washed up and prepared to go to bed, letting the supporters set up various instruments, tinker with them in various ways, and gather together to discuss in a low voice.

After a good night's sleep, he saw the three-dimensional structure of the cave:
"Mr. Shen, we have roughly mapped out the structure of this cave based on the feedback from the cavity detector. Can you take a look and see which part you are going to so that we can make adequate preparations?"

Oh, this is the good thing about teaming up with official people. There are plenty of instruments and equipment. Shen Le pointed at the screen:

"My destination is here... I need to cross a river here. You suggest I prepare wading equipment or build a bridge... The road here is quite steep... I need to climb up..."

As he spoke, the others took notes and arranged their equipment according to his description. After all the precautions were explained, Shen Le paused and thought for a moment:

"There is a mural on a rock wall. I might want to take it down and bring it back... When the time comes, could you please help me and bring some tools?"

Take down the mural?

How to dismantle?
Cut, chop, chisel?
The captain nodded hard, but secretly groaned in his heart. He gestured and asked the team members to quickly look up information, ask people, and find the corresponding tools.

He led the way, put on his climbing shoes and a helmet, went to the rock wall to hammer nails, and prepared to put up the climbing rope.

Turning around, I saw Shen Le flying up again:

"Mr. Shen!!!"

"Ah, you are going to go down from here, right?" Shen Le looked at the rock wall with regret.

This smooth rock wall, a karst landform, has been formed over thousands and tens of thousands of years by wind, rain and water. If humans hammered it with rock nails, pried it up with their hands and kicked it with their feet, a large area would be destroyed!

"This is the easiest place to go down." The captain patiently arranged the rope, calculated the height of the cave, and how to hammer the rock bolts to withstand the force, without considering the ideas of the environmentalists.

Then, he saw Shen Le looking left and right, descending a little, and gently touching the rock wall with his hand:

"Be careful, I've made a foothold for you here, you can step down there... There's a handle here, you can reach in and hold it... Just come down step by step..."

team leader:"……"

Why does it feel like we are not protecting him, but rather he is taking care of us?
Are we going down there just to cause trouble for him?

He couldn't help but stretch his head to look down. Shen Le placed his palm vertically and flatly on the rock wall, and the rock wall softened like plasticine and dented inwards.

When you step on the rock wall, it softens and becomes concave to a size roughly the size of your foot, which is just enough for you to step on comfortably.

Every three to five meters, there is a small platform half a meter wide, which allows people to take a break and get some support...

It can be said that it was very well thought out. Except for the fact that the mission target took care of him, the captain felt a little uncomfortable...

Turning his head, he saw the team members around him winking and making faces, obviously not used to it. Seeing that Shen Le had already stood at the bottom and began to wave at them, the captain quickly scolded him and took the lead to climb down.

He tied a safety lock, faced the rock wall, held the foot pedals, and went down step by step. After a few steps, he felt a breeze blowing, and his whole body became half lighter... "Mr. Shen, we can take care of ourselves! Try to save some of your magic power, so that you can protect yourself if you encounter an accident down there!"

He lowered his head and shouted. Shen Le waved at him with a smile:
"It's okay, this little consumption is not a big deal! Come down quickly, and let's try to move forward!"

A group of people filed down. Yan Xijia also followed the group, holding a trekking pole in each hand, walking in the cave with one foot high and one foot low.

As they walked, they looked forward and saw Shen Le walking lightly in the front, constantly reminding them.

It looks like he is walking on the ground, but in fact, his toes are touching the ground, and his whole body is floating, as if he is flying...

You are a very nice person!

Take care of our senses and pretend to be walking on the ground!

When they reached the river, he cast a Water-Breaking Technique and had the captain rush over to build a simple bridge on both sides;
When he reached the place that needed to be climbed, he flew up gently, carrying the rope and hanging it there to tie it up. Worried that it was not tied securely, he flew up with the captain again to let him check the rope;
They traveled through mountains and rivers, and they had thought it would take at least a day to get there. But after only two hours, they arrived at their destination, a vast open space.

"Here it is. I want to look at these murals first. You can do as you please."

Shen Le turned around and greeted, and two balls of light rose up, and he looked at the mural carefully.

This mural is about two meters high and more than three meters wide. It depicts mountains, rivers, and trees with a strict composition and the brushwork is old-fashioned and vigorous. The rocks with axe-chopped texture are especially obvious features of Song Dynasty landscape paintings.

As for the figures in the paintings, they are mostly drawn in line style, with the idea coming before the brush, and the focus being on the spirit of the figures rather than their forms. Their faces and clothes also have a distinct "Wu Dai Dang Feng" style.

Calculating the years, this mural has been around for about 700 to 800 years. In the humid cave, it should have been corroded and faded away long ago.
However, when Shen Le raised the silver light to shine, the figures on the wall seemed alive, and it seemed as if one could hear the sound of mountain wind blowing the treetops and the sound of flowing water.

Even if it relies on the Yin energy of the clay sculptures to keep the painting perfect, perhaps the quality of the painting must be high enough to become spiritual naturally?

"Ah... this mural..."

A soft sigh came from behind him. Then, with a click, a strong flashlight turned on.

This is a professional high-intensity flashlight for exploring caves. It has a brightness of 4 lumens. Once it is turned on, the entire cave will be illuminated as if it were daytime.

The murals on the rock wall were instantly illuminated in every detail, even if they were only reflected by the strong light from the opposite stone wall.

Immediately, someone picked up their phone, set up their camera, and started taking photos...

"Don't!!!"

Shen Le screamed. With a wave of his hand, a wave of foam rolled up from the nearby river, turning into mist on the spot. The mist was everywhere, forming a fog wall in front of the strong flashlight, blocking most of the light——

It was too late. The patterns on the murals quickly began to blur and dim, like boiling soup poured over snow or a ghost seeing the sun.

Shen Le screamed in pain, and quickly sat down cross-legged in front of the mural. He closed his eyes and poured out his mental energy without reservation:
Stop right there!

Protect me!
Don't change color in the light, don't fade, and don't disappear!
He was excited, and there were people who were more excited than him. The little oil lamp that had been quietly staying in the bag, with only a small light bulb attached to the backpack strap to look out at the outside world, quickly fell with a flash of lightning.

With a crackling sound, a strong electric current flowed into the high-intensity flashlight, causing the battery to instantly heat up and expand, then explode with a bang.

Fortunately, the person operating the flashlight dodged quickly and was not blown up or burned. He just looked at the flashlight burning into a ball of fire on the ground and shivered with heartache:

"Several thousand..."

He bought it with his own money!
I bought it myself!

Shen Le didn't even have the energy to scold the small oil lamp. He used all his strength to gather the spiritual energy of the entire cave and focus it on this rock wall.

While letting my spiritual energy soak into the murals, I tried to recall:
Murals are afraid of strong light because strong light often contains infrared and ultraviolet rays, which will destroy the color of the surface of the cultural relics and cause fiber and structural breaks.

After being exposed to strong light, the murals will fade, turn yellow, and become brittle. In more serious cases, the surface of the cultural relics will crack and age.

However, this kind of damage usually takes years to occur, and if it suddenly becomes blurry and dim, could it be the effect of the conflict between yang and yin?
So how to fix it...

Should he introduce the power of water, or the power of earth... Introducing Yin energy probably won't work, he doesn't have that ability. It would be better if the clay sculptures were here.

However, the walls of the karst cave are earth, and the water system is covering them, which is conducive to the spread of Yin Qi. In this way, the spiritual power will try to walk around the bottom of the water and bring up some water with heavy Yin Qi?

"What are you doing? How can you illuminate ancient murals with strong light?"

In the back, someone lowered his voice and shouted angrily:

"No common sense at all! - Go out and guard! Let Xiao Chen come in!"

Shen Le ignored him and concentrated on practicing Qigong. He activated the power of earth to make the stone wall in front of him more condensed so that it would not crack.
Then he activated the power of water, and clouds and mist rose up, covering it bit by bit. He must fix it, he must fix it, he must fix it...

He prayed silently in his heart for a long time, then he took a long breath, stood up and walked to the stone wall.

The silver ball of light was spinning around, and looking closely, the mural had become much clearer, except for the edges which were still a little dim and blurry.

Shen Le felt relieved, grasped the copper seal, input heat into it, and tried to resonate with it:

The mural has been found, so what are you going to do next?
You want to occupy this place? Are you going to stay here for a long time, with the murals?

Or do we need to take the murals down and take them away?
Although the former is a bit of a shame, and I feel like I worked for nothing, it’s not like I can’t let you go… The latter… The latter is really a bit troublesome…

This mural is a cultural relic, and it is an immovable one. It is so complete that the mural must be of a high quality. If you take it off the rock wall and take it away...

This would cause too much damage to the cultural relics, I can't do it!
The bronze bell chimed softly, as if urging him. Seeing that Shen Le ignored him, it chimed vigorously, and suddenly a bright light shone:

A beam of strong light shone straight into the mural and landed on the first piece of dowry, where the bronze seal was painted.

On the mural, the bronze seal also lit up, and then the light flowed like a dragon and a snake, and split into countless branches.

It penetrates every piece of dowry, every servant who carries the dowry, the entire wedding procession, every tree, every rock:
"Click, click, click, click, click..."

A series of soft noises rang out. With the sound, the entire stone wall began to shake, dust fell, and gradually, small stones began to roll down from the top of the cave...

"Mr. Shen! Hurry up! The cave is about to collapse!"

Tensed and panicked voices exploded from several places.

Footsteps were approaching, and Shen Le was grabbed by a hand on his left and right shoulders, and was lifted up directly, and it seemed that he was about to be carried away:
"let me go!"

Shen Le struggled hard. As he struggled, the heat in his body surged, and he swung left and right. He heard two "ouch" sounds from both sides, and the two people who grabbed him staggered and fell out:

In other words, Shen Le held back a little bit of his strength at the last moment, otherwise, the two of them would have flown out dozens of meters and simply crashed into the wall of the cave.

Shen Le didn't even have time to look at them or express his apology. His mental power was firmly locked on the stone wall, and the heat flowed through his palm, surging on the bronze seal, and then from the bronze seal to the mural:

"Be quiet! Be quiet! Don't move!" - Even if we want to leave, we have to think of a good way, so that it won't break or collapse with a click!

Do you want me to pick up rocks from the ground or something?

He tried his best to control the mural, but the mural's desire to pounce on him was more eager than his desire to push it away.

With a series of crackling sounds, the huge mural peeled off from the rock wall neatly, peeled off, tilted forward, and fell down -

“Stop!!!”

Shen Le's soul was about to fly away. Even if there was no evidence to prove that he did it, the entire mural collapsed and destroyed, which would be an immeasurable loss to the cultural relics and art circles!

"You guys go back! Go back!!!"

He tried his best to stir up a strong wind, hoping to hold up the mural steadily and push it back onto the rock wall; he then gathered the earthy air, hoping to solidify the mural and the rock wall together.

However, the wind was a little strong, and the thin layer of rock on which the mural was attached began to crack and break, which frightened him so much that he dared not do anything at all;
As the dirt condensed, the mural became thicker and heavier, and fell faster and faster.

"Help me hold on! Hold on!!!"

Shen Le shouted and ran forward, stretching out his arms as far as he could, trying to catch the mural to prevent it from smashing to the ground.

There was a clatter of footsteps behind him, and five or six people rushed up and stretched out their hands to help him catch it. However, the moment the mural touched his palm, it quickly began to condense, condense, condense...

Shen Le: “Huh?”

What rhythm is this?!
