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

"Yes, it is different. This centipede has three pairs of wings. It is obviously not an ordinary species. Maybe it is some ancient alien species!"

After realizing this, Jiang Li immediately looked at the inner elixir enthusiastically, wishing he could swallow it in one gulp.

But reason still suppressed his impulse. He couldn't eat something of unknown origin casually, not to mention that it was a demon pill. If he died from eating it accidentally, he would have no place to cry.

Resisting the temptation, Jiang Li reluctantly put the magic pill into the jade box.

Speaking of this jade box, it was prepared when he came here, just to contain this demon pill, so as to prevent the demonic energy from spreading and disturbing people and things.

But now, although this jade box cannot be used to block the evil spirit, it can be used to prevent the energy of the evil pill from being lost. It can be said that "planting flowers with care may not make them bloom, but planting willows by accident may make them grow into shade."

After covering the jade box, he pasted a talisman on it. He planned to take some time to go to Maoshan after he returned to see if he could find out about the situation of the inner elixir. If it was confirmed to be harmless, it would not be too late to take it and refine it.

After collecting the centipede demon's inner elixir, he looked at the materials such as its shell, fangs, and legs, and found that in addition to their strong demonic aura, they also had one common feature, which was that they were extremely heavy and solid.

After looking at them for a while, he thought about what magical tools they could be used to refine, and then happily put them away.

After organizing these materials, he gathered his mind and began to sit cross-legged in meditation to recover his consumed magic power.

...

After breakfast the next day, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle led the team to set off.

However, Jiang Li did not follow them into the ancient tomb. Instead, he sent several Maoshan Taoists to follow and deal with some supernatural situations.

As for why Jiang Li did not enter, it was naturally because there were many extremely poisonous centipedes in the tomb. Although it was unlikely that they would turn a person into pus with one bite like in the movies.

But what if, if they are really that poisonous, then wouldn’t Barbie be in trouble?

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, there is no need for him to take the risk.

But of course he couldn't say such a cowardly thing, and instead said, "Leave professional matters to professionals."

After that, I watched them leave.

Afterwards, he ordered the people from the Supernatural Bureau to bring several thousand soldiers to search the mountain, hoping to find the white ape in the mountain. At that time, it would be good to have one more monster among the trophies.

On the other side, Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou led their men. They first climbed up the cliff of Pingshan Mountain. After many twists and turns, they finally found the gap.

And who is Partridge Whistle? He is a serious professional. With his fingers flying and after a series of professional operations, they successfully opened the entrance to the Yuan Dynasty tomb.

After that, they carefully groped their way into the depths of the mysterious Yuan Dynasty tomb.

As they entered the tomb passage, the light became dimmer. Chen Yulou ordered everyone to stop and put on the miner's headlamp given by Jiang Li.

Looking at the bright light coming from the electrically powered headlamp, Kunlun laughed out loud, "This lamp is really useful, it's much brighter than a torch or oil lamp!"

When Miss Hong heard this, she said angrily, "You are talking nonsense. Marshal Jiang has already said that this is an electric light, so of course it is brighter than a torch."

Kunlun scratched his head, "What is an electric light? I only know about oil lamps, but I've never heard of an electric light!"

"You have seen lightning, right? It can light up the night. There is a lightning in the lamp above your head. Be careful not to break it, or you will be killed by it!"

Hong Girl tried to scare Kunlun on purpose, and as expected, he immediately took off his headlamp and handed it to Hong Girl, not daring to wear it at all.

Chen Yulou was so shocked that he immediately interrupted Hong's prank, "Alright, stop teasing Kunlun. Check your equipment. This is our first mission under Marshal Jiang. Everyone's future depends on it. Be careful and don't make any mistakes!"

Following Chen Yulou's words, everyone checked their belongings, and after confirming that they were correct, they entered.

After carefully wading through the long corridor, everyone saw a deep stone staircase sloping downward. Since the air in here had not been ventilated for a long time, it was very turbid.

But what was surprising was that there was a faint foul smell in the air. Everyone looked at each other for a while, frowning and keeping silent.

But Chen Yulou could not remain silent when he saw this, so he spoke up to remind everyone, "Everyone, be careful, this place is isolated, there shouldn't be any bad smell!"

Everyone responded with understanding after hearing this, and then they walked down carefully.

As they continued to descend, everyone heard eerie sounds of wind, as if they were the whispers of wronged souls in the tomb. This sudden change made everyone shudder.

So they all unconsciously cast their eyes towards the four Maoshan Taoist priests who were accompanying them. Finally, Chen Yulou spoke up, "The Taoist priests have also seen that the situation here is strange. I wonder if you can ask you to take a look to see if there is anything unclean here?"

Several people did not refuse when they heard it. One of them took out a Yin-spirit talisman from his body, chanted the incantation, and then cast a spell.

After it flew about ten meters, it spontaneously ignited without any fire.

The four Taoists who saw this scene frowned and remained silent, but the others were full of question marks when they saw this scene.

"Excuse me, Master Dao, what is the situation? Why are you all silent?"

Seeing Chen Yulou asking questions, the Taoist priest who cast the spell sighed, "There are indeed dirty things in this tomb, but judging from the current situation, they are not very strong. We can handle it!"

After hearing what he said, everyone was still a little worried, but when they thought of the reputation of Maoshan, they were no longer so worried.

"Then please ask the Taoist priests to protect us so that we can continue to go down!"

The four of them didn't hesitate to take out a stack of talismans from their pockets and handed one to each of them. "This is a talisman to drive away evil spirits. Carry this with you, and ordinary ghosts won't be able to get close to you."

With the talisman in hand, everyone felt more confident and continued to explore downwards.

Since this was the entrance to the tomb, the group did not encounter any mechanisms or traps and arrived smoothly in front of a flat stone wall.

Upon seeing this, Partridge Whistle immediately stepped forward to check. After some inspection, he concluded, "This is the Dragon-Severing Stone. The tomb chamber should be behind it!"

The Maoshan Taoist priest beside him also reminded him at the right time, "The Yin energy here is obviously stronger. Maybe we can see the real master behind this stone!"

After these words were spoken, the scene fell silent again. Finally, another Maoshan Taoist priest spoke up, "It's okay, it's okay. With a few of us here, even a hundred evil spirits can't hurt you!"
