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

Jiang Li saw that Tan Baiwan was embarrassed but not surprised when he heard what he said, so he had an idea in his mind. Most likely, he was trying to save money, and he built a house here even though he knew that this was a cemetery.

Uncle Jiu obviously saw it, so he was about to leave without saying a word. Seeing this, Tan Baiwan hurriedly tried to stop him, saying, "Uncle Jiu, please forgive me. I was just blinded by evil spirits and greedy for a chance, so I did something wrong. I will do more good deeds in the future. Please have mercy on me and help me!"

Uncle Jiu was about to say something when Jiang Li said, "Master, how about this? We can ask Mr. Tan to dig up the corpse from the ground and find a place to rebury it. This should be the best of both worlds, right?"

Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "What do you think of my apprentice's idea, Mr. Tan?"

Tan Baiwan was embarrassed at this time and said, "I don't know how much manpower and material resources it will take to dig up the floor and rebury it. Can you take them in directly? I am willing to reward you handsomely."

Uncle Jiu turned around and left after hearing that. Tan Baiwan tried to pull him back but couldn't. Anxiously, he could only look at Jiang Li. Jiang Li spread his hands and was about to leave as well.

At this time, Tan Baiwan finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, I agree. I will do as Daoist Master Jiang said. Please ask Daoist Master Jiang to talk to them. I am willing to bear all the expenses."

Jiang Li smiled and said to Uncle Jiu in the carriage, "Master Tan has agreed, so you can help him solve this problem!"

Uncle Jiu said, "You should handle this kind of trivial matter yourself!" When Tan Baiwan heard this, he cursed in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.

When Jiang Li heard this, he knew that this was a test from his master, and he immediately decided to use all his abilities to properly resolve the matter.

Then he set up an altar, placed the offerings on it, lit a stick of incense, and after a pretentious bow, he asked the big red chicken with a wingspan of three meters and weighing fifty kilograms to get down from the carriage.

As soon as this magical chicken landed on the ground, everyone in the Tan family was shocked. When had they ever seen such a big rooster?

Jiang Li ignored everyone and walked into the house with the magic chicken. In the eyes of mortals, this magic chicken was just huge in size and colorful in color.

But in the eyes of the ghosts in this room, it was as bright as the golden crow, illuminating the ghosts and making them dare not even breathe.

Jiang Li did not hesitate and directly activated his magic power and said, "I am the Maoshan Taoist priest hired by Tan Baiwan to catch ghosts. I have inquired about your grievances and understand them."

"Let me first state the conclusion. The fault lies with Tan Baiwan and he is willing to make compensation for his mistake."

"I just gave him a suggestion. That is, he should dig up the floor, dig out your bones and rebury them. Finally, he should lead the whole family to wear mourning clothes for you for three days. During this period, paper money and incense will be burned continuously to forgive your sins. What do you think?"

At this time, a female ghost's head popped out from behind the pillar. She said tremblingly, "We are willing to let the Taoist master make the decision. Please ask you to get this beast out first. Our ghost bodies are weak and cannot withstand its power."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Just agree, but your words alone don't count. I'll go out and wait for you for half an incense stick. If you have any other opinions, you can tell me. If not, just cooperate and don't cause any trouble."

After saying that, he took the spirit chicken out, but before leaving, the spirit chicken looked back, and this one look almost scared the little ghost to death.

Arriving at the courtyard, Jiang Li broke off a stick of incense, lit it, and said, "Fortunately, everything went well. They agreed to rebury the deceased, but they require you to bring your family to mourn for them for three days and offer incense and paper money to prove your repentance."

When Tan Baiwan learned about the situation, he thought about it and agreed. He then ordered people to prepare incense, candles and paper money. After burning them, he dug up the floor tiles and took out the bones one by one. Finally, he transported them outside the town and erected a monument for burial.

It took three days to complete all this, and Jiang Li and his group took fifty dollars from Tan Baiwan and left.

After handing all the money over to Uncle Jiu, Jiang Li asked, "Master, do you think those horse thieves have a lair?"

Uncle Jiu said, "Probably not. After all, they are horse thieves. What they want is to escape quickly after committing the crime. They shouldn't have any nest."

Jiang Li suddenly remembered something and said, "Master, should we go to Teng Teng Town to have a look? I heard from the villagers that there were heavy casualties from the robbers. Maybe we can help a little if we go there."

Uncle Jiu pondered and said, "Then go and have a look. If you can save a life, it will be a good deed."

Then the team turned around and headed towards Teng Teng Town. At this time, Aqiang and Ade rode up and asked, "Master, where are we going? Why are we turning around?"

Uncle Jiu answered truthfully, "Let's go to Teng Teng Town and see if we can help."

After hearing this, the two stopped asking questions and continued to practice horse riding. After half a day's journey, the group finally arrived outside Tengteng Town at dusk.

But when Uncle Jiu and Jiang Li saw the situation in the town, they frowned. Jiang Li couldn't help but say, "Master, the town is so gloomy and there is no one in sight. I'm afraid there is something strange in there!"

Uncle Jiu got out of the car with his stuff and said to Jiang Li, "You guys wait here first. I'll go inside to see what's going on."

Jiang Li was about to speak when Uncle Jiu interrupted him and said, "Your cultivation is too low to help me. I can go in alone and withdraw immediately if the situation arises."

Jiang Li had no choice but to obey after hearing that. Seeing Uncle Jiu walk in, Jiang Li ordered the carriages to turn around so that they could escape immediately if anything happened.

After half an hour, when the group was getting impatient, Uncle Jiu finally came out with an angry face and disheveled clothes.

Jiang Li quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master, what's going on inside? From the looks of you, did you fight?"

Uncle Jiu suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth as he said, "Someone spread corpse poison in the town, and now there is no one alive in it."

Upon hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief. This was a town, and even if the population was smaller, there must have been more than a thousand people, and now they were all dead?

Even though Jiang Li was mentally prepared, he was still shocked and speechless for a long time.

At this time, Uncle Jiu said angrily, "It must be that group of horse thieves who put corpse poison when killing people. This is how they can create enough zombies in a short period of time and harm so many people in the town."

Upon hearing this, Aqiang and Ade shouted, "If I had known earlier, I should have cut them into pieces, only then would I be able to relieve the hatred in my heart."

Jiang Li frowned and asked, "Master, did you see a high-level zombie just now?"

"If we want to get rid of it, can we do it?"

Uncle Jiu calmed down his anger and said, "These zombies are not of high level. Except for a few dozen black zombies, most of the others are white zombies. But there are too many of them. It will take some effort to clean them up."

Jiang Li felt relieved when he heard this and said, "As long as it can be solved, it will just take some time."

"But there are still a few important things to prepare for."
