My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

After seeing Uncle Jiu and the others going up the mountain, Jiang Li asked people to move the things in the car up the mountain. The corpse of Simu was wrapped in a copper-horned golden coffin and secretly transported to the mountain by Jiang Li and eight Taoist soldiers.

As for the vixen, after being tied up for several days and given very little food, it no longer had the strength to struggle. However, fearing that it would be misunderstood by the pilgrims, Jiang Li still covered it up tightly and had Jiale and Qiu Sheng carry it up the mountain.

As for the four people from the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, they were of no help at all. They had to support each other and climb up Lingxiu Mountain with difficulty.

Jiang Li and his men worked for a long time before they finished moving everything. At this time, Wen Cai, who had not seen him for a long time, found Jiang Li and said, "Junior brother, stop working and go eat. I have prepared the food for a long time."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Brother, you are amazing. There are dozens of people on this mountain, not counting the pilgrims, and there are so many drivers and porters at the foot of the mountain. Can you make so many meals by yourself?"

Wen Cai smiled and scratched his head, "Actually, it was done by me and two of my outer disciples, but I contributed the most effort!"

Jiang Li smiled and patted Wencai on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wencai is indeed amazing, but I'll have to trouble you to deliver some food to the drivers and porters at the foot of the mountain, otherwise they will say that we at Qingyun Temple look down on people."

Wencai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother, I have already prepared everything. Look at those steamed buns, side dishes, and egg soup. I will send them to them right away."

Watching Wencai and two fellow disciples from outside coming down the mountain carrying large basins of food, Jiang Li then went into the cafeteria with several Taoist soldiers.

After getting some food, Jiang Li came to Uncle Jiu and asked, "Master, do we usually eat these in Qingyun Temple? Isn't it too plain?"

Uncle Jiu said, "I have no choice. It would be inappropriate to kill chickens and sheep on the mountain. Moreover, if we do that, we will be the same as those restaurants at the foot of the mountain. How can we still look like a Taoist temple?"

Jiang Li frowned and said, "This is not a solution. Why not send people down the mountain to buy some meat every day? At worst, we can just give them more money and ask them to help deal with it."

"Then we can sell one or two special meat dishes every day, at a lower price so as not to make any profit. Otherwise, the brothers and sisters will consume so much energy in their daily martial arts training, how can these vegetarian dishes be sold?"

Uncle Jiu heard this and said, "That's fine, but it's very troublesome to send people to the town to buy meat every day!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I asked someone to leave two carriages behind. We can drive there when the time comes. It won't take long!"

After dinner, Jiang Li wanted to go check on the vixen. When he got to the iron cage where it was imprisoned, he saw Wen Cai telling An Muxi in a vivid voice, "Junior Sister An, do you know that Junior Brother Jiang Li has captured a vixen and it looks exactly like a human?"

An Muxi was very curious when she heard that. She looked in the direction Wencai pointed and saw Jiang Li standing next to an iron cage, and in the cage was a young woman who was tied up.

She immediately shook off Wencai and walked up to Jiang Li and said, "Brother Jiang, long time no see. Is this woman really a vixen?"

Jiang Li said, "Long time no see. I heard that you have become the chief receptionist. Congratulations!"

An Muxi was about to respond when she heard Wencai say, "I have also become the chief vegetarian master, on the same level as Junior Sister An."

Jiang Li and An Muxi were speechless, so he could only reply to the question about the vixen, "This is indeed a vixen, and her cultivation is not shallow, and she can already transform into a human form."

"As long as we take one step further, we can refine the horizontal bone. Then it will really become a monster, and it will be difficult to catch it!"

An Muxi said curiously, "Senior Brother Jiang is really amazing. I didn't even catch it. I couldn't even tell it was a person!"

Wencai also interjected, "Yes, yes, I couldn't tell that she was a vixen either. I thought she was a decent woman kidnapped by my junior brother!"

Jiang Li said unhappily, "Brother, I know your temper. Don't get close to it in the future. Be careful not to be deceived by it and let it escape. Then it will eat your flesh and drink your blood first, and I will have no choice but to take your position as the chief vegetarian master with tears in my eyes!"

When Wencai heard this, he immediately said in a panic, "Brother, don't think about taking my position as the chief vegetarian master. I am not interested in vixens!"

"Right, Junior Sister An."

Seeing Wencai's distressed look, An Muxi immediately changed the subject and said to Jiang Li, "Brother Jiang, you brought back so many things this time. Is there anything interesting among them? Tell me about it!"

Jiang Li was also speechless about Wencai's performance, and said to An Muxi, "There is an interesting thing, a copper coffin weighing more than a thousand pounds."

"Speaking of which, this copper coffin has been corroded by zombies' corpse qi and struck by lightning. It is a rare material for refining weapons."

Upon hearing this, An Muxi quickly said to Jiang Li, "Brother Jiang, please take me to have a look. I have never seen such a heavy coffin!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li took An Muxi to the back hall, and Wencai followed happily.

Jiang Li turned to Wen Cai and said, "Brother, I forgot to tell you that the master is afraid that the disciples in the temple will consume too much energy in practicing martial arts. If they don't have meat to supplement for a long time, they may lose their foundation."

"So we decided to send people down the mountain to buy some meat every day. You are in charge of the food, so go back and discuss with the master the quantity and types of meat to be purchased in the future!"

Wencai heard that he would have meat to eat in the future, and he immediately became excited and said to An Muxi, "Junior Sister An, wait a minute. I will go discuss buying meat with the master. I will make a delicious dish for you tomorrow."

After saying that, he left happily.

An Muxi said to Jiang Li at this time, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, for helping me out. Senior Brother Wencai is too talkative. It's really annoying!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Okay, Junior Sister An, Senior Brother has no ill intentions. He just thinks you are gentle, kind, and beautiful, and wants to get to know you more. Don't blame him."

An Muxi smiled and explained, "I don't blame him, I just can't get used to his behavior."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go talk to him about this later. Do you still want to go see the bronze coffin now?"

An Muxi said excitedly, "I want to see it. I have never seen a copper coffin in my life."

So Jiang Li took her to the back hall, introduced the copper-horned golden coffin to her in detail, and promised to ask Uncle Simu to make a bronze sword for her. He then ordered people to dig a cellar to imprison the corpse. Only then did he say goodbye to An Muxi and find Uncle Jiu.

At this time, Uncle Jiu was talking with Zhegu, Simu Qianhe and the other two about their future plans. When they saw Jiang Li coming in, Simu stood up and asked, "Nephew, have you settled my spirit corpse?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Uncle Master, don't worry. I have already had people start digging the cellar. I think it will be finished in the next two days. Then we can build a house on it."

Simu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, "That's good, but I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the back mountain for a long time and eat and drink for free."
