The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 337 Shen Le: Do you want me to cosplay as a bald monk or a lame Taoist priest?

To find traces of a stone monster from decades ago, or even a hundred years ago, within a radius of more than three hilltops...

This was still a bit more difficult. Lao You spread his wings, and flew outward in a spiral three times with Shiji Niangniang as the center, then landed, shook his head, and spread his wings:

"There is no stone Buddha! There is no temple! There is not even anything that looks like a temple! Lady Shiji, can you provide more accurate information?"

[It’s been so many years…]

Shiji Niangniang sighed deeply. It slowly shook its body and adjusted its angle. Shen Le suspected that it was looking up at the sky.

[You guys go look for it across from me... It has always been there. I think you can find some traces of it...]

Leaving Niangniang Shiji in the dry mountain stream, the group climbed up the hillside again with great vigor.

This time, Shen Le used the archaeological teacher's skill of digging soil layer by layer, and finally dug out a different layer of soil opposite to where Shiji Niangniang originally hid. The problem is...

"Mrs. Shiji, the aura left here is too weak. I can't find it at all! Can you provide a little more information?"

Shen Le climbed down again and squatted in front of the stone monster, looking worried. Although the stone monster's vision might be different from that of ordinary people, and he might not be able to see his expression clearly, he still had to manage his expression well...

The goddess Shiji shook her body again with difficulty. The pebbles kept rolling under her, making a harsh and unpleasant sound.

It shook several times, but it was too big and too heavy to move, so it could only say slowly:

[Take me up...Take me around, I'll find...]

Ah this...

Do we really need to move a crane over here?

There is no road here. To move the crane, we need to build the road first. It is very troublesome and will cause great damage to the surrounding vegetation...

Shen Le looked at the driver Xiao Guo hesitantly, only to see that Xiao Guo also looked embarrassed and remained silent. The Alloy Boss looked left and right, and said "Hey" with emotion:
"I come!"

He stretched out his hands, spat twice, and strode forward. He bent down, knelt, grabbed the bottom of the boulder with both hands, and lifted it up with all his strength:
"rise--"

The boulder shook a few times, and he actually carried it on his shoulders. It was just shaky and looked like it might fall at any time. Shiji Niangniang was so scared that she screamed:
[Put me down! Put me down! Don’t smash it! If you smash it, I’ll be seriously injured! ]

The Alloy Boss's figure shook again, and his arms suddenly grew longer, and their length doubled, firmly holding up the boulder that was more than a person tall. He bowed slightly, took a step, and walked up the hillside...

"squeak--"

With one step, the hillside sank deeply; with another step, a small part of the hillside collapsed.

It was obvious that in order to bear the weight of the stone, the Alloy Boss had used some of his original form's strength, even if he hadn't revealed his original form. Along with the strength, part of his body weight was also used...

Alloy Boss stood there awkwardly, looking around:

"Shen Le, do you have any idea to reinforce the ground? Or, cut down a few trees and use their trunks as padding?"

Shen Le really didn't have the ability to reinforce the ground. If he had this ability, he could control the soil and try to control the stones, and he wouldn't have to come all the way here to ask for help from Shiji Niangniang.
As for cutting down a few trees, Shen Le also felt that it was not a good idea. What if he was targeted? What if he was fined?

Even if we take a step back, the trees here haven’t done anything wrong…

"Um, Lady Shiji, can you become a little smaller?" He ran up a few steps, until he was at the same level as the stone monster, and asked loudly.

If it were an ordinary stone, this request would be too much, too much for the stone. But the stone monster——

If you can control other stones, you should be able to control yourself, right?
However, Niangniang Shiji immediately made a squeaking sound, as if she was shaking her head desperately:

[No! No! I've tried many times! I can't shrink it! I can expand it, and absorb other stones, but that's not me... Can you help me? ]

"Me? Help you shrink?"

Shen Le was confused. On the side, Lao You flapped his wings, landed on the nearest tree, and said hesitantly:
"Boss, can't you help shrink it a little? I seem to remember hearing somewhere that there is a stone monster that can grow bigger or smaller..."

"I've heard of that, too." Shen Le scratched his head and said helplessly:

"I just can't remember... Guo Huai, have you heard of a stone monster that can change size? Can you ask him to come over and give me some guidance?"

Driver Xiao Guo, who kept sprinting down, stretched his neck to listen for a long time, but was completely unable to help. Hearing Shen Le's question, he hesitated:
"It seems... I heard about it in Dream of the Red Chamber? Jia Baoyu's jade became smaller..."

With a slap, Shen Le slapped himself on the forehead and was instantly speechless.

Well, the stone at the foot of Qinggeng Peak was indeed created by a monk's magic, "a large stone was instantly transformed into a bright and clear jade, and then shrunk into the size of a fan pendant that can be worn or held," and it can even allow a baby to be born with the jade in its mouth.

But the problem now is, Lady Shiji, you want me to help you grow bigger or smaller...

Do you want me to cosplay as a bald monk or a lame Taoist priest?
"Have you figured out a solution?" Alloy Boss yelled. Shen Le hesitated for a moment, asked him to put down the boulder, and squatted next to it:

"Let me make it clear first, I really don't have the ability to help you become smaller. Now there is only one way, that is, I will input a little power and let you try to transform yourself... Are you willing?"

[You...you can be gentler...]

Shiji Niangniang answered hesitantly. Shen Le got permission, stretched out his right hand, put it on the stone, and slowly mobilized the heat in his body to penetrate the surface of the stone.

Gradually, the touch under my hand began to become slightly flat, smooth, and a little warm. Lady Shiji's excited feedback came:

【A little more! A little more! ---More! 】

Hey, can you handle more?
Shen Le stared at the stone surface next to his palm, watching the power everywhere. The stone surface became more crystal clear little by little, like ice that came into contact with heat, and even felt a little transparent.

The transparent part grew larger and larger as Shen Le poured out his power, expanding outward in circles, and it seemed to gradually become deeper in perception.

Finally, the place where the palm was pressed began to respond with rich elasticity. The palm felt as if it was sinking into the stone and being sucked into the stone...

"Is it done?"

[I’ll try…]

The stone under his palm began to fluctuate, expand and contract, and deform. Shen Le held his breath and watched it glow, wriggle, and become smaller, smaller, and smaller...

It shrunk from more than one person's height to one person's height, and turned into a very distorted pit shape, stuck there awkwardly:

[The power is not enough... Can you give me some more? ]

Shen Le: “…”

Although the golden round bead in the Dantian was rotating hard, the power it could output per unit time was still limited.

Shen Le tried hard to output for a while, but Niangniang Shiji still couldn't continue to change. Not only that, it "poofed" and swelled back:

[This power is totally not enough! Is there any way to speed it up? Do you have any pills? I think if I have twice the power, I should be able to shrink! ]

Shen Le was sweating, waved his hands, and sat aside to take a deep breath. Old You stepped forward without hesitation:
"Hey, don't just ask for power! Can you demonstrate what we're asking you to do? If you can prove that you can perfect stone products, the boss will give you power!"

[That's easy! Pick up two stones and come over here. Watch me!]

There were as many stones as one could find in the mountain stream. Lao You picked up two stones at random, broke one of them, and placed it next to Shiji Niangniang.

The other piece was broken into half and handed over to the Alloy Boss, who rubbed the stone into powder with his palms and put it aside.

Niangniang Shiji swayed her body slightly:
【Put it on me! Put it on me! 】

As soon as the stone was placed on it, a miracle happened immediately. The broken stone sank into the boulder like sinking into the water and disappeared; after a while, it turned into a whole stone and was "spitted out" by the boulder;

The stone that had been rubbed halfway into powder, along with the powder, also sank into the boulder. When it was spit out again, the powder condensed into a beautiful lotus at the fracture of the stone, and the whole thing was integrated...

"It looks perfect." Shen Le finished his training and stood up. He came over and held the two repaired stones, looking left and right:
"It's just that it's contaminated with the aura of Lady Shiji... Let me try to eliminate this aura and see if the stone can still maintain its original state... Cleansing technique! Cleansing technique! Cleansing technique!!!"

The cleaning technique passed through, and the effect was extremely perfect. If the stone can be repaired, the stone Buddha statue can be repaired. So, the problem now fell to Shen Le again:
He wanted to help Shiji Niangniang become smaller and easier to carry, so that he could accompany her everywhere to find her friends...

There is no other way, let’s use the cheating device!

Shen Le hardened his heart and gave up his own method. He took out the copper piece, held it in his palm, and pressed it on the stone surface.

The heat flowed through, was modified, condensed, and amplified by the copper sheet, and flowed into the stone. Almost immediately, the huge stone under his hand began to shrink visibly:

Become smaller, become transparent, become crystal clear, change from stone to jade...

Finally, it turned into a piece of beautiful jade the size of a goose egg, lying quietly in the palm of his hand.

Shen Le: ???
This has reached the level of turning the stubborn stone of Qinggeng Peak into a magical jade!
So, I really became the Great Master Mangmang and the True Man Miaomiao?
"Mrs. Shiji, are you okay?"

Shiji Niangniang was obviously also startled, and there was no sound for a long while. Shen Le held it in his hand and shook it several times, almost throwing it up, before it slowly spoke:

[I'm fine... I need to take a break... Take me for a walk first, over the hill, to where there are more people...]
