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

Jiang Li was stunned when he heard this and then said, "It's nothing, I just killed some zombies and gathered some poor people to farm, nothing special!"

Huang Silang frowned and said, "No, you have the luck of the dynasty and a lot of merit surrounding you. Are you hiding something?"

Jiang Li was speechless when he heard this, "Who are you to me, little brother? Why do you care so much?"

"Don't say I don't take care of you. This time I went out and found a temple priest for you. He has been in the martial arts world for many years and is very familiar with the ways of the world. In the future, he will help you deal with some chores. This way, you can establish your majesty as a mountain god and make people worship you from the bottom of their hearts."

After that, he introduced Mao Shanming to Huang Silang. After looking at Mao Shanming for a while, he said, "Okay, let him stay, but you have to promote him to me as soon as possible so that I can be worshipped by mortals as soon as possible."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll have someone build a house for him first. He'll live here most of the time. You can take this opportunity to talk to him first. It will be helpful for the future if you gain some knowledge."

Huang Silang was about to get angry when he heard that he had to wait, but Jiang Li interrupted him and said, "Why are you so anxious? How can you win people's trust with your impatience? If you don't control yourself, you will never become a mountain god."

Huang Silang hesitated when he heard this, and thought to himself, "Is it really my own problem?"

Seeing this, Jiang Li was afraid that he would really be depressed, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, I will release the news within half a month. During this time, you should communicate and learn from him seriously, so as not to reveal the truth."

After settling Mao Shanming, he returned to the Jiang family and found a few people to repair the house for him. Jiang Li looked at the twenty teenagers in their teens that the housekeeper had gathered from the provincial capital.

He said, "I won't say much about your life in the past. Now follow me and I will tell you one thing. If you complete the tasks I ask you to do, I will make sure you have enough food and warm clothes. Can you do it?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then answered in a messy manner, "Yes, it's OK."

Jiang Li frowned and said, "Is this what I've been teaching you these days? Show some courage and tell me if you can do it?"

The twenty young men subconsciously puffed out their chests and answered loudly in unison, "Yes."

Jiang Li then nodded and said, "Then follow me. Today I will teach you some unique skills."

Then he took them to the culture room and began to teach them how to screen and cultivate mycelium.

Because we only require them to know the results and not the reasons, they basically mastered the steps after a few demonstrations. As for fully mastering independent breeding, they still need to practice repeatedly to become familiar with it.

This training lasted for a month, during which time Mao Shanming's house was repaired and all the members of the village protection team got married with the help of a matchmaker.

Even Mao Shanming married a 28-year-old widow. After Jiang Li sent people to spread the word, several villages and towns around knew that there was a Sixian Mountain ten miles outside Lijia Town, and that there was a Huang Daxian in the mountain who specialized in solving people's problems.

Jiang Li had already sorted out all the steps for cultivating the bacteria, and explained clearly what was considered a success and what was a failure. The children finally had a general idea of ​​it.

When she came to the yard, she looked at Ren Tingting, who was radiant because she was watered by herself every night, and she was full of pride. Seeing Jiang Li's expression, Ren Tingting was puzzled and asked, "What does your husband mean by this expression? Have they all learned the method of cultivating this fungus?"

Jiang Li walked up to her, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "They have learned almost everything, but I am not happy about it."

Ren Tingting was even more puzzled and asked, "If not for this, what else could it be, could it be that they were happy about Huang Silang's incident?"

Jiang Li smiled evilly and whispered in her ear, "My dear, have you noticed that you look radiant and rosy? This is all the result of your husband's hard work day and night. I can't help but feel proud when I see this."

Ren Tingting couldn't help but beat Jiang Li's chest in shame and anger when she heard this, and whispered, "Husband, why do you always say these shameful words in a frivolous way? If mother and younger sister hear them, they will laugh at you again."

Jiang Li said indifferently, "If you didn't act so excited, how would they know?"

Ren Tingting was a little hesitant when she heard that. She raised her fist and didn't know whether to fight or not. Jiang Li looked at his wife who was trying to be cautious and simply grabbed her wrist, then leaned forward and touched her mouth.

Then he said solemnly, "My husband may have to leave for a while. I have agreed with Master to build a Taoist temple for him. I am afraid it will take a lot of time and effort. I may even have to go to Mount Mao to buy some statues of the ancestors."

Ren Tingting frowned slightly when she heard that, then smiled and said, "My husband, if you have something important to do, go ahead. I'll be waiting for you at home."

Jiang Li smiled and joked, "I see that there seems to be dissatisfaction between your eyebrows, and your smile seems forced. Can I help you to relieve it?"

As he said that, he took Ren Tingting's hand and walked into the room. Ren Tingting was shocked and struggled to say, "My husband has misunderstood. What I said was from the heart and I have no dissatisfaction at all."

Jiang Li stopped walking after hearing what she said, took her hand and strolled with her in the fields. When he returned home for lunch at noon, he told his parents about it.

After getting their consent, I drove to the charity cemetery the next day with money and gifts and two members of the village protection team.

...

After he put his things away at the charity cemetery, he found Uncle Jiu in the main hall with a box in his arms. He smiled and asked, "Master, have you finished drawing the blueprint for the Taoist temple? I have prepared the money!"

Uncle Jiu suppressed his joy when he heard this and said, "There is no rush for this matter. After thinking for a long time, I still feel that it is better to inform the elders of Mount Mao about such a big thing as building a Taoist temple. By the way, I should also take you to Mount Mao to confer the ordination certificate on you."

Jiang Li was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What kind of ordination do I need? Haven't I already received the Grandmaster's permission to enter the sect?"

Uncle Jiu shook his head and said, "It's about bestowing the talisman, not receiving it. All formal disciples of our Maoshan must be granted the talisman. After receiving it, they can communicate with the gods and receive the protection of the ancestors."

"Like the last time I dealt with the evil cultivator in Teng Teng Town, I was able to turn danger into safety only with the help of my ancestor's power."

"Normally, since you just became a Taoist priest, I should have taken you to Mount Mao, but you were still young and your cultivation was not high, and the journey to Mount Mao is long."

"Later, you went to the provincial capital to study, and you experienced so many changes after coming back, so you were delayed. This time, I just took this opportunity to go back to Maoshan and copy down the various prescriptions for the elixirs that you have been thinking about."

Jiang Li was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "This is the best. I was worried about not having the elixir formula and not being able to obtain the blood of Huang Silang and Wukong. This trip back to Maoshan is just the right time to solve this problem."

Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "That's true. It would be a pity to miss this opportunity. This time you go back, you can take them all with you. Then take some blood as a gift to the seniors in the sect. They will definitely take good care of you."
