Restoring cultural relics: Starting with the crying Tang Dynasty figurines

Zhang Weiyi stared at him for a full half minute:

"You want to go into the mezzanine now? Judging from your current condition, you should wait a bit longer. Miss A-Wu, she..."

"I can't wait any longer."

Su Yuan touched the bronze mirror on his chest: "The thing in the interlayer is moving, and the pressure inside is increasing!"

"If we delay any longer, the entrance might open by itself at any time, which would be even more troublesome. Awu also supports me going there first."

Zhang Weiyi stared at him for a few seconds, and finally nodded:

"Alright! Get ready, I'll discuss it with Director Zhou and arrange some manpower."

Su Yuan left his office and stayed in the warehouse for another half hour. When he came out and walked to the stairwell, he ran into Lin Xi.

She stopped when she saw Su Yuan, and hesitantly asked, "Su Yuan, are you going out again?"

Su Yuan glanced at her: "Hmm, who told you?"

"Nobody said it, it's just my feeling."

Lin Xi looked at him and said, "You almost always go to the storeroom for a while before you leave, as if you're afraid that no one will take care of them after you leave."

Su Yuan didn't reply; he just wanted to leave as soon as possible!

Seeing his uneasy expression, Lin Xi simply smiled and turned to leave.

In the evening, Su Yuan finished his meal in the cafeteria and returned to his dormitory.

Place the bronze mirror on the table, and Awu's human-shaped silhouette shines within it, revealing a clearer outline of her head and upper body.

"Awu," Su Yuan called softly, and the humanoid light and shadow raised its small head to turn towards him.

"I'm ready to go into the mezzanine."

Su Yuan said, "I hope that on my first visit, I can find a part of your remnant soul."

The light and shadow shifted slightly, and the little hand made a gesture, first pointing at Su Yuan, then at itself, and then putting both hands together and hugging its own shoulders.

Su Yuan knew she was saying, "I'm with you, I'm not afraid."

Su Yuan smiled, pressed the bronze mirror to his chest, closed his eyes, and slowly drifted off to sleep. Around midnight, sounds echoed throughout the dormitory corridor and downstairs.

"Master Su is going into the mezzanine."

"It might be his first time going in, I hope there won't be any danger. Many of us are waiting for him, we need to fix our problems."

"No way! Miss A-Wu is here, along with his bronze mirror, bronze plaque, and bronze sword, and even the talisman of the Pure Yang Immortal!"

"Hmm, it should be fine, but I wonder if we'll encounter any remnants of Miss A-Wu's soul, even just one or two..."

"..."

The next day, Su Yuan went to the second-floor storeroom at seven o'clock. Xiao Jue said, both timid and excited:

"Master Su, if you get lost inside, just call me. I promise you won't get lost when you try to escape..."

Su Yuan didn't know how to respond, so he shook his head with a wry smile.

He checked the items he needed to bring: Su Zhi's sword, Chunyang Zhenren's protective talisman, the bronze spirit eye, the jade ring on his hand, and the spirit-locking bead.

I was wondering if I might encounter some strange thing that needed fixing in the interlayer!

So a few more items were added to the toolbox:

A small bottle of fish glue, a small packet of porcelain powder, a small piece of copper, a few pieces of old bamboo, a tube of epoxy AB glue, etc.

That way, even if you encounter something that needs fixing in the interlayer, it's better than going empty-handed.

Su Yuan checked all the tools one by one, put them into the toolbox, and closed the lid.

There were no tasks today, and nothing came looking for me. I just ran into Wang Jianguo this afternoon and exchanged a normal greeting...

6:30 p.m.

He glanced at the shelves in the storeroom. Little Jue was still swaying on them, the bronze Buddha statue stood quietly there, and the stone lion heads on the balustrades had their eyes half-open as if they were dozing off.

These people all knew he was going into the mezzanine, and although they didn't say much, they were actually concerned about him!

Su Yuan picked up his toolbox and left the warehouse. In the corridor, Zhao Cheng was leaning against the office door, looking at him, and asked:

"Ready? When are we coming in?"

"Yes, first thing tomorrow morning."

Zhao Cheng: "Director Zhang told us not to be reckless once we went in, and to come out if we felt something was wrong."

Su Yuan smiled and said, "I know."

The two went down the stairs and reached the lobby entrance. Chen Xiaohe was standing there smoking. When he saw Su Yuan come out, he stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter only one sentence:

"Su, I'll throw you a welcome-back party when you come out!"

Su Yuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder without saying anything.

Qian Weidong came over and said, "Xiao Su, I can't go in with you this time. We'll see if we have a chance next time. Be careful!"

He hummed in agreement, "Then I'll head back now. See you tomorrow..."

Back in the dormitory, the bronze mirror was quiet, and Zhong Lao and Miao Lao didn't know what they were doing.

Su Yuan touched the bronze mirror, and A Wu's reflection came closer, her small hand imprinted on the mirror, matching his fingers!

"Awu, go to sleep early."

Su Yuan spoke softly, and the light and shadow nodded, shrinking into a ball of light and disappearing into the bronze mirror.

Su Yuan closed his eyes, trying his best to control himself from thinking about things. The jade ring on his hand glowed, and Su Yuan fell asleep in no time.

Su Yuan woke up at 5:30 the next morning.

The sky outside the window was not yet fully bright, but the reflection of Awu in the bronze mirror was already bright. The small reflection stood in the center of the mirror and looked very energetic!

Su Yuan touched the bronze mirror, got up to wash, changed into his work clothes, checked all the things he needed to bring, and finally put the bronze mirror into a soft cloth bag and hung it around his neck.

After everything was packed up, Su Yuan left the dormitory carrying his toolbox.

Seeing the lights on in the canteen and Li Xiulan busy at the stove, Su Yuan went in to see if there was anything to eat.

When Li Xiulan saw Su Yuan come in, she quickly took out a bowl of steaming noodles from the pot, with a poached egg on top.

"Xiao Su, quickly eat a bowl of noodles, these are peace noodles."

Li Xiulan put the bowl on the table, still looking sleepy from getting up so early, and said with a smile:

"I heard from Xiaohe that you were going out this morning, so I got up early to make this for you."

Su Yuan felt a warm glow in his heart: "This talkative Brother Chen..." He sat down, picked up his bowl, and slurped the food down!

"Thank you, Aunt Li."

Su Yuan put down his bowl, wiped his mouth, and Li Xiulan waved her hand, "Xiaohe said you were in quite danger today, you have to come back safely!"

After saying that, she went to prepare the ingredients for the company breakfast.

Su Yuan smiled as he watched Li Xiulan's busy figure, picked up his toolbox, and left the cafeteria.

Zhang Weiyi was already standing at the entrance of the hall.

Chen Xiaohe and Qian Weidong were behind him, while Lin Xi stood at the second-floor window looking down!

A black SUV drove into the yard, its license plate ending in 037. Shen Yue got out of the driver's seat and nodded to Su Yuan.

The passenger door opened, and Xiao Meng got out of the car carrying a black backpack.

Su Yuan nodded back: "Brother Shen, Xiao Meng."

Shen Yue smiled, opened the trunk, took out a long cloth bag and slung it over his shoulder. Xiao Meng also carried a similar bag!

Zhang Weiyi walked over: "Everyone's here, let's go upstairs."

The group went up to the second floor and entered the warehouse.

When Xiao Jue saw so many people coming in, he wisely kept quiet, and the bronze Buddha statue and stone lion head were also very quiet.

Su Yuan walked up to the Awu terracotta figurine, squatted down, and looked at the ground beneath the shelf.

The brick-paved ground showed no abnormalities, but the jade ring on his hand suddenly heated up, and the Spirit-Locking Pearl also lit up!

Zhao Cheng also squatted down, brought his nose close to the ground, and smelled it: "This smell is stronger than it was a few days ago."

After listening, Shen Yue took out the palm-sized instrument from his backpack, measured the ground for a while, and a string of numbers appeared on the screen.

"The fluctuation value is 4.2%, which is within the safe range."

Shen Yue looked at the screen and said, "The entrance is stable; you can go in."

Su Yuan didn't say anything, put the toolbox at his feet, and took out Su Zhizao's sword from it!
