The garrison commander was stunned when he heard this, and then said firmly: "Don't worry, Commander, the cannons have been transported here, and there are plenty of shells. It is more than enough to fight a small-scale war!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction, and then praised him a few words with an expressionless face.

Then he wanted to have someone pull these cannons and bombard him severely for a few days, but when he thought about the fact that Uncle Jiu had not arrived yet and he was injured again.

If he angered the Black Mountain Ghost King and made him come out to cause trouble for him, many people would probably die. So he suppressed his anger and did not do so.

After waiting for a long time, the soldier who was patrolling outside came over with a Maoshan Taoist priest.

When Jiang Li heard the news, he immediately went to greet him, but when he saw the person, he did not recognize him.

However, after some greetings, Jiang Li confirmed that he was indeed a disciple of the Maoshan Alchemy lineage, and in fact, he was a disciple of the same generation as Uncle Jiu.

So Jiang Li treated him very courteously, and his performance made this Taoist priest, who had fallen into the mountains of Guangxi to collect herbs to assist in his cultivation, extremely excited.

He had received some information about Jiang Li from his master before, and knew that Jiang Li was a person whose death would cause chaos in the three realms.

Now, it was the first time he met such a down-and-out Taoist priest, and he gave him enough face. Looking at his expression, there was no sign of falsehood at all, so how could he not be excited?

But Jiang Li found it very strange that he was so excited that he almost trembled. But he understood after thinking about it, so he continued to intensify his efforts and asked people to prepare wine and food to entertain him.

We also arranged accommodation for him to have a good rest, and wait for the arrival of the Maoshan seniors to discuss the solution to this matter.

After arranging this Maoshan disciple, Jiang Li unconsciously had an idea in his mind. It seems that I have found a way to recruit practitioners and resolve the extraordinary events in my territory.

...

In this way, another day passed. Jiang Li had already received more than a dozen Maoshan seniors and several garrisons sent by nearby counties. Since these people had already set out on the road, they did not receive an order to retreat.

At this time, another soldier came to report, "Commander, there are three Maoshan Taoist priests, two men and one woman, outside the door. They want to see the commander!"

Jiang Li said "I know" and sent him away.

Then he straightened his clothes and went out to greet them.

But as soon as he saw the three men, he immediately shouted, "Master", and then quickly stepped forward and knelt in front of Uncle Jiu.

When Uncle Jiu saw Jiang Li like this, he didn't know what to do for a moment. Finally, after thinking about it, he helped him up.

"Marshal Jiang, your status is different now. You don't have to call me Master. If you want, just call me Uncle Nine."

Jiang Li felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, but he finally accepted the proposal. After all, he was entangled in karma now, and it would be best not to have anything to do with Uncle Jiu.

So he stood up and immediately saluted Uncle Jiu, "This time, I would like to thank Uncle Jiu, Taoist Master Zhegu, and Taoist Master Simu for coming all the way here. Jiang Li would like to thank you again!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu and Simu Zhegu did not say much and accepted the title naturally.

Jiang Li then invited the three people to the courtyard and took them to meet the Maoshan disciples who had come earlier.

At this time, Simu spoke up, "Commander Jiang, we heard that you were in trouble, so we rushed to rescue you overnight. We suffered a lot on the way here, but I see that you are fine, aren't you?"

Seeing that he asked about it, Jiang Li didn't intend to hide it and told him everything.

As Jiang Li continued to tell the story, all the Taoists at the scene opened their mouths in surprise. This was the Ghost King, the Ghost General, and tens of thousands of evil ghost-level ghost soldiers.

Not only have they never seen it, they have never even heard of it.

At this time, a Taoist priest from the Qimen lineage asked, "Commander Jiang, are you sure that the leader is really the Ghost King? And he has tens of thousands of ghost soldiers under his command?"

Jiang Li knew that he didn't believe it, so he dropped another bombshell, "I'm sure that's the Ghost King, and I've had some interactions with him before!"

"That ghost king is called the Black Mountain Ghost King. A few years ago, my uncle and I caught a female ghost, and she used the Black Mountain Ghost King to scare me."

"After some inquiries, I got confirmation from the ancestor that this Black Mountain Ghost King really exists and is ruling the mountain down there, causing a lot of trouble for the underworld!"

When everyone heard about this, they immediately turned to look at Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu saw them coming and nodded to confirm the matter.

After getting Uncle Jiu's confirmation, everyone at the scene took a deep breath. This was an old ghost who could cause trouble in the underworld, and he brought tens of thousands of ghost soldiers with him. If this situation wasn't handled properly, the world would be in chaos.

At this time, Uncle Jiu saw that everyone was in a low mood, so he stood up and comforted them, "Don't worry too much, fellow disciples. This matter was arranged by the Grandmaster himself. I think all my Maoshan disciples have received the news."

"I think the seniors in the sect will come to help by then, and we will be able to wipe out this group of evil soldiers in one fell swoop."

After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, everyone calmed down a little and began to carefully discuss the next countermeasures.

But after all, they were all disciples of branch sects. Not only did they have mediocre talents, but their cultivation and knowledge were also not very high. So after discussing for a while, they still couldn't come up with any ideas.

In the end, the matter could only be left unresolved, and he quietly waited for other fellow disciples to arrive and discuss a proper solution.

This wait lasted another three days, during which time a large number of Maoshan Taoists rushed here in Jiang Li's military vehicles.

In just a few days, Jiang Li received disciples from many branches of Maoshan who were skilled in talismans, corpse-driving, formation, weapon refining, alchemy, divination, exorcism, spells, guardian, spiritualism, beast taming, strange gate, and heavenly way.

There are more than a thousand of them, and the weakest of them are human masters, and the strongest is Elder Li Lin who has reached the realm of heavenly master.

Of course, this does not mean that there are only so many people in Maoshan, but that Jiang Li’s territory is only as large as Guangdong and Guangxi. It would be difficult for Maoshan disciples from far away to arrive within a few days.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that thanks to the help of the Spirit Gathering Array and a lot of Essence Pills, Uncle Jiu’s cultivation has now reached the seventh level of Earth Master.

If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to achieve the level of Heavenly Master within seven or eight years.

But don’t underestimate this achievement. In this Dharma-Ending Age, being able to become a Heavenly Master at over fifty years old is already quite a remarkable achievement.

If you don't have a reference, you can look at the banana spirit An Hong. She gave up her fighting ability and took the shortcut of gathering internal energy, but she only reached the realm of Heavenly Master at the age of sixty.

From this we can see how difficult it is to practice cultivation in this era.

If this still doesn't explain anything, then you can look at Li Lin who came to help this time. Among the Maoshan disciples, he is considered to have good qualifications, but he only broke through to the Heavenly Master realm two years ago.

He was seventy-two years old at the time.
