Chapter 119 Both rain and dew are touched
night.

The pond in the back mountain.

Jiang Mo, with frosty white hair, sat cross-legged on a huge green rock, wisps of gray dust sliding down from between his fingers in the wind.

"interesting."

"How should we proceed with this step?"

Five yellow-brown stone men, ten feet tall and as strong as iron towers, were standing silently more than ten meters in front of him.

During the retreat, Jiang Mo dug up rocks, soil, water, trees, and metals several times, and used the true method as a medium to transform these natural things towards humans.

Without exception, except for the lack of life consciousness, they all have corresponding characteristics.

For example, stone men have hard flesh and blood and are extremely powerful; tree men have many roots and are full of vitality; water men are flexible and adaptable, and are not afraid of weapons and brute force;

Jiang Mo only needs to peel off and disperse the consciousness that resides in the spiritual platform one by one, and he can indirectly control these creations. In this way, he is not much different from a so-called mechanism master.

"Perhaps, I can melt my thoughts and some of my fighting memories into the brains of these stone men, so that they can practice martial arts with the disciples in the future."

As a superhuman, strength is not only reflected in the degree of mastery of martial arts, but also related to physical skills, combat awareness, weapons, etc.

Apart from Si Chong, Cheng Zhen and Lu Jin, there is no need to worry.

The fighting levels of the other disciples vary greatly. They practice deep in the mountains and are like flowers in a greenhouse.

Having a nice body but lacking practical experience, it would be difficult for him to make a single move in this world full of cannibalism.

"Rather than suffering at the hands of outsiders and losing your lives, it is better for me, the head of the sect, to train you well."

The casting of the Five Prefectures Treasure Land is suitable for the cultivation of the second-level disciples. On this basis, Jiang Mo plans to refine a batch of "aliens" with rock and soil attributes, engrave some of his memories, and use them to train the first-level disciples in fighting martial arts;

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

Jiang Mo, the head of a sect, naturally understood this truth. The development of a sect requires strong people, but also weak people who are motivated to make progress. As time goes by and spring goes and autumn comes, the former may not be overtaken by the latter.

Especially Zhuge Yu, who possesses two unique martial arts, Wu Hou Qimen and Ni Sheng San Chong.

Jiang Mo had heard of the Wu Hou Sect's 'Samadhi True Fire'.

Given time, if Zhuge Yu breaks through the third level of rebirth and simultaneously cultivates the 'Innate Qi Fire' and the 'Samadhi True Fire', one to burn his body and the other to conquer his soul, he will be the best among all the disciples and have a chance to win the top spot.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo exhaled a breath of Qi, and the flesh and blood of his limbs trembled slightly. A muscle memory based on instinct was slowly being perceived and replicated in his brain.

At the same time, based on the precautions that Jiang Mo took when training his disciples, a strong "thought" was also nurtured.

Different from consciousness, 'mind' does not have thinking, it is just an invisible puppet thread that controls the stone man while limiting its power to avoid excessive harm to the disciples.

The moon sets and the sun rises, and several days and nights rotate.

Purple air comes from the east, along with golden light, and spreads among the trees.

Jiang Mo's frosty hair was blown by the morning breeze. He walked down from Qingyan step by step, stepped into the void, and came in front of the five huge monsters.

Five rays of light resembling flames, containing Jiang Mo's thoughts and physical fighting memories, were flickering slightly.

The next moment, they floated up and landed on the brows of the five stone men, penetrating their yellow-brown skin and melting into the depths of their brains.

"Boom!!!"

Like a sleeping machine that was plugged into a power source, the stone men's dark brown pupils gradually began to glow. They stretched their huge bodies, breathing slowly, and possessed extraordinary strength.

"From now on, I will trouble you to take care of the disciples in our sect."

Jiang Mo clasped his fists and saluted towards the stone men, his voice sincere.

Although they have no life and are merely puppets infused with thoughts and muscle memory, for the sect, these rocks and soils sealed underground for hundreds or even thousands of years will be the elders who can protect the growth of one disciple after another.

The rising sun stretched the shadows of Jiang Mo and the five stone men very long.

Faced with the request, the stone men remained indifferent. They just looked at Jiang Mo calmly and empty. However, it was precisely this atmosphere that made this moment seem to fall into eternity, forming some kind of fateful agreement in the solidified time.

The ceremony is over.

Jiang Mo slowly turned around, basking in the sunshine, and walked away along the mountain.

"Boom!!!"

Under the invisible control of "thoughts", a dull vibration came from behind, and one stone man after another took a step and followed. Their movements were heavy and powerful, and the ground was shaking under their footsteps.

morning.

In the courtyard of the Taoist palace, Zhuge Yu stood under an ancient tree, conscientiously refining Qi, with a pale white glow all around him.

After entering the first level of rebirth, he practiced his boxing skills without distraction. He punched the air in front of him again and again, creating bursts of sounds of breaking through the air.

"drink!"

"drink!"

"drink!"

The other fellow disciples either went to collect herbs, chop wood, carry water, or meditate in the Qingxin Hall. Only he was practicing boxing here, leaving out one afterimage after another.

"Boom!!!"

A loud vibration came from behind him. Before Zhuge Yu turned around, a familiar voice sounded:

"Good morning, little Zhuge, you are so diligent."

"Uncle Master?!"

Zhuge Yu turned around as if he had received an electric shock. He was in a happy mood and was about to say hello with a smile, but when he saw those huge monsters, his face froze. "You, you are out of seclusion? ! ! What is this?!"

Looking at the ten-foot-tall 'alien' with huge muscles and brown skin, Zhuge Yu was stunned, and even his voice began to tremble. He had never seen such a species before. It looked like a human, but also like a rock. A strong sense of oppression came over him.

"The puppet I made."

Jiang Mo chuckled calmly and explained the origins and uses of the five stone men.

"What?! I hit them?"

After hearing his uncle's intention of arranging these stone men, Zhuge Yu was stunned.

The stone man alone was taller than two of him, and his palm, as big as a palm fan, was as scary as a millstone. How could he withstand a slap from it?

"Yes, you should spend some time fighting them and hone your martial arts skills."

Jiang Mo looked at Zhuge Yu, observing his muscles, bones, and breath, and said in deep thought:

"Your Rebirth has already passed the first level, and it has been settled for a long time. You have the power of dragon and tiger, and your Qi covers your muscles and bones. As long as it is just a superficial injury, there is nothing to worry about."

"Not far from the second level, little one."

Zhuge Yu swallowed nervously, staring at the five stone statues with dry eyes, and suddenly felt sweat pouring down his back.

"Uncle Master, do you think I'm really capable?"

"Okay, little Zhuge."

Seeing his honest and dumbfounded expression, Jiang Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Can Master Uncle really harm you? The puppet will know when to attack and will not be able to take your life."

"Take a few more beatings. When your skin, flesh, tendons and bones are strong, you can follow the Qi-circulation route I taught you before. The Qi will flow through the eight extraordinary meridians, through the three elixirs, and protect your internal organs. It will be a natural process for you to advance to the second level."

Even though Zhuge Yu had practiced with other brothers before, none of them had such a ridiculous feeling of powerlessness. The stone man in front of him was looking down at him like a mountain, and there was no trace of flaw in his calm aura.

At this moment, other disciples in the sect also heard the noise and rushed over. Five tall stone men appeared before them, which made them feel like their brains were struck by lightning.

"what is that?!"

"A new stone statue of the door god?"

"Master uncle has come out of seclusion!!"

Si Chong walked out of the hall and looked at the stone men in surprise: "Junior brother, what are you doing?"

"They are puppets made from the rock and soil of the mountain behind. They are specially used to assist disciples in practicing martial arts. They are similar to wooden stakes used for boxing, except that they can fight back. They are only effective against first-level disciples and some second-level disciples."

Jiang Mo shared the role of the stone man with everyone. Currently, only Lu Jin, Cheng Zhen and Si Chong were excluded. Instead of honing their martial arts, they were more suitable to practice in the Five Prefectures Treasure Land.

Shuiyun, Changqing and others were impressed by the power of these five creatures. Their thick arms seemed to be cast in steel and were extremely hard.

"Brother, please mark out a piece of land in the back mountain to store these stone men. If any of your disciples want to practice in the future, they can go there on their own."

Regarding Jiang Mo's suggestion, Si Chong stroked his beard with his left hand and weighed the pros and cons:
"It's okay. It's not a big deal. But are you sure they won't get out of control?"

"No, trust me."

Jiang Mo's "thoughts" are the core of controlling the stone man. In the process of fighting, it is inevitable to injure the disciples, but it will not endanger their lives.

Seeing his solemn promise, Si Chong was relieved and promised:

"Okay, Junior Brother, I'll arrange their whereabouts later."

"Little Zhuge, do you want to practice? I see you're pretty good at boxing, maybe you can compete with them."

Jiang Mo asked for his disciple's opinion. He had noticed that the other party was practicing shooting hard at the shooting range late at night. There was no doubt that he had a strong desire to improve himself.

This stone man is the perfect tool to hone his shortcomings.

Zhuge Yu was very interested and had already made preparations: "Since you and everyone else are here, then I'll give it a try?"

Afterwards, Si Chong brought other disciples to make room for him.

Four stone figures stood quietly in front of the ancient tree, and one of them confronted Zhuge Yu on the wide field.

"Are you ready? Then get started, no need to worry." Jiang Mo noticed that Zhuge Yu had activated the first level of Reverse Rebirth and encouraged him to take the lead.

"Okay, Uncle Master."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhuge Yu took a stance, adjusted his breath, overcame the vague fear in his heart, rushed forward, and launched an attack on the stone man.

"call out--!"

The distance of dozens of meters was covered in the blink of an eye. Looking at the motionless stone man, Zhuge Yu gathered his strength in his right hand, formed a fist, and punched forward.

"boom!"

The stone man raised his heavy right hand and blocked casually. With his excellent defense and terrifying strength, he pushed Zhuge Yu back several steps.

"It's moving!! It's moving!! That stone man is so mysterious!!"

"Brother Zhuge, did you lose in the first round?"

Everyone was in an uproar. Cheng Zhen seemed to see something was going on. He approached Jiang Mo and asked in a low voice:
"Uncle Master, why do I feel like the stone man's gestures are a bit like yours?"

"I made it with my own hands, how could it not look like it?"

Jiang Mo stared at the short figure, who was being pushed back step by step by the stone man, and couldn't help but smile:
"I just hope this little guy can hold on a little longer and develop some skills."
