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

In this way, two hours passed, the sky had completely darkened, and the neighbors who came to eat came in waves.

Uncle Jiu was chanting Taoist scriptures behind the altar in front of the opened coffin. At this moment, Uncle Jiu suddenly stopped chanting. Jiang Li and the Ren family father and daughter, who had been paying attention, immediately noticed something was wrong.

He immediately stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Jiu, have you discovered anything?"

Uncle Jiu said, "The Yin energy is very strong, it is about to rise from the dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Ren immediately stood up and roared like a wild beast. Uncle Jiu frowned and said, "Be careful, it has become a black zombie."

Ren Fa had also heard Uncle Jiu talk about the levels of zombies before, and knew that the black zombies were no longer afraid of humans and were very dangerous. He immediately said to Uncle Jiu in panic, "Then what should we do now?"

Seeing Uncle Jiu hesitate, Jiang Li said, "Master Ren, don't panic. It's trapped in the formation and can't get out. You should appease the villagers according to the plan and don't let them run around and cause trouble."

Ren Fa then turned around and looked at the guests who had stood up in panic, and then he plucked up the courage to say to the crowd, "Don't panic, everyone. There must be some villains doing this in secret."

"He wants my reputation to be ruined. Fortunately, the Maoshan master Jiushu is here. He will not let his plot succeed. If you feel uneasy, please leave from the main gate one by one. Don't panic to avoid being trampled and injured."

The guests were still somewhat frightened after hearing this, but at least they did not panic like before, and those who were afraid left in an orderly manner.

At this time, the resurrected Old Master Ren also moved, but unfortunately he was now surrounded by an inkstone net and the ground was covered with glutinous rice, making it difficult for him to move. The several black footprints on the ground were evidence of this.

At this time, Ren Fa, who had finished comforting the guests, came to Uncle Jiu and Jiang Li and said, "Uncle Jiu, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

Uncle Jiu said, "I think it's better to stab it to death with a peach wood sword and then burn it with fire, otherwise it will definitely leave troubles."

After hearing this, Ren Fa immediately looked at Jiang Li and said, "Master Jiang, if you have a proper solution, I, Ren Fa, will definitely thank you later."

Jiang Li heard this and said, "Didn't we agree on this before? Later, Master Ren and I will perform a duet to earn Master Ren a good reputation before we burn the old man to death."

Then he said loudly, "Master Ren, look, someone has tampered with the old man's body. He wants to use this corpse refining technique to achieve his ulterior motives."

"Please, Master Ren, for the sake of the folks of Renjia Town, burn the old man to avoid future troubles. If he succeeds, I'm afraid there won't be many survivors in the entire Renjia Town."

When everyone heard this, those with quick minds immediately understood the whole story. Someone immediately echoed in fear, "Master Ren, please kill your relatives for the sake of justice. I don't want to die!"

Then more and more people agreed, but Ren Fa said with a troubled look on his face, "Twenty years ago, the Feng Shui master asked me to move the coffin and bury it in the next few days, saying that it would bring blessings to future generations. How come it has become like this today?"

When Jiang Li heard this, he immediately said loudly, "I think it was the Feng Shui master who did this. He was the one who did this to Old Master Ren. Maybe he was bullied in Renjia Town back then, so he cruelly wanted to bring disaster to the entire Renjia Town."

"Master Ren, please have mercy and make a decision."

Everyone agreed when they heard this, but Ren Fa said, "How can I, as a son, burn my father? Otherwise, I will ask Uncle Jiu to subdue my father and find a good feng shui site to bury him again."

Everyone thought it made sense, but Jiang Li said again, "Master Ren, you don't know that once the corpse turns into a corpse, there is no other way except to burn it."

"Because the corpse poison is all over its body, sooner or later it will turn into a corpse again. If we bury it now and something unexpected happens to let it escape tomorrow, I'm afraid Renjia Town will never have peace again."

When everyone heard what was going on, they immediately proposed to cremate Old Master Ren again. Only then did Ren Fa "make up his mind" and kneel down in front of his father and say, "Dad, I am unfilial and have disturbed you."

"But what you are doing now is really hurting others and yourself. I have no choice but to do this for the sake of the folks in Renjia Town. Please forgive me."

After saying that, he kowtowed three times, and finally said to Uncle Jiu with tears in his eyes, "Uncle Jiu, please, for the sake of the folks in Renjia Town, eliminate this disaster and make sure there are no hidden dangers left."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this, and looked at Uncle Jiu with anticipation.

Uncle Jiu also sighed and said, "In this way, Lin Jiu will definitely live up to the high expectations of the villagers."

As he spoke, he called Jiang Li to sprinkle the glutinous rice that had been prepared long ago on Old Master Ren's body. When the Yin energy in Old Master Ren's body came into contact with the glutinous rice, black smoke continued to emerge from his body.

And it kept running around, but where could it escape to in the Modou net array? It could only passively take the beating.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Old Master Ren fell to the ground with a bang, and Uncle Jiu decisively stepped forward and stabbed him in the chest with the peach wood sword.

A large amount of Yin Qi instantly rushed out of Old Master Ren's wound, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar. After a minute, he fell on his back and was motionless.

Only then did Ren Fa tremble with fear and took a few steps forward and asked, "Is Uncle Jiu finished now?"

Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "It's over for now. I've used the peach wood sword to release its negative energy. Now we just need to cremate it and it will be safe."

Ren Fa wanted to change his mind at this time and said, "Uncle Jiu, can you bury my father like this? Isn't he no longer in danger now?"

Uncle Jiu was about to explain, but Jiang Li stopped him with his hand and said, "Master Ren has seen what the old master was like during the day, and this is what the old master is like now."

"After some time, when the Yin Qi gathers again, the old man will naturally rise again. I am afraid that my master will not be able to prepare in time by then."

When Ren Fa heard what was going on, he quickly said in a terrified voice, "Then please, Uncle Jiu, light the fire quickly and don't let the villagers get into any danger, otherwise I, Ren Fa, will be blamed for my death."

After getting a positive answer, Uncle Jiu immediately ordered people to collect dry firewood to cremate the body. Originally, he should have used litchi firewood, but it was hard to find in the middle of the night so he didn't bother with that.

Soon the preparations were completed, Jiang Li took a torch and handed it to Ren Fa, saying, "Please light the fire, Master Ren."

Ren Fa took the torch and knelt down again, crying, "Dad, I am so sorry for being unfilial."

Then they threw the torches into the firewood pile, and soon a raging fire broke out in the Ren family's yard. Fortunately, the Ren family's yard was spacious and the crowd was hiding outside the yard. The tables, chairs and benches had also been removed, so the cremation could proceed smoothly.

Not until the fire was out did Ren Fajiang, Li Jiushu and the other two look at each other, and seeing that everything went well, they felt relieved and returned to the hall.

At this time, Ren Fa ordered his servants to collect the ashes and clean the courtyard, and then said to Jiang Li, "We haven't seen the Feng Shui master all night. Master Jiang must be worrying too much!"

Jiang Li frowned and said, "It would be great if that's the case. I'm just worried that he might be lurking in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to strike. After all, Master Ren has called over a dozen members of the security team here today. It's normal that he doesn't dare to take action."
