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

After hearing Jiang Li's words, Zhe Gu and An Muxi had completely different reactions. Zhe Gu didn't see anything and naturally thought that Wen Cai was beaten up by Gui Sue.

He even complained, "I don't know how my junior brother taught his apprentice. How could such a loser be the senior brother?"

An Muxi, who was standing by, saw with her own eyes how Jiang Li knocked Wencai unconscious with a stick. After listening to the two men's speeches, her face turned red.

Jiang Li knew she must have seen it when he saw her expression, but he was too thick-skinned to care about being exposed. Instead, he said to Zhe Gu, "Uncle Master, look, what are these sedan chairs and coffins made of? They can be carried around by a few little ghosts."

You have to know that ghosts have no physical form, so if they want to manipulate objects in this world, they need very strong magical powers, and the things that these little ghosts can lift must not be ordinary objects.

Sure enough, Zhe Gu walked forward to take a look and said, "This is Xuanyin wood. This wood is an extremely yin thing. It can help ghosts practice and is not afraid of sunlight. It is a rare treasure for ghosts."

Jiang Li was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's dismantle it and take it back!"

Aunt Zhe said, "Forget it, forget it, don't waste time. Just leave it on the side of the road. There are not many people in the wilderness here. When Junior Brother finishes dealing with the matter, we can come back to get it."

Jiang Li thought it made sense, and he and his disciple Zhe Gu immediately carried the coffin and the big red sedan chair to the roadside and hid them with branches and leaves.

As soon as they started to lift the coffin, they found that it was incredibly heavy. It took all their strength to lift it up.

Jiang Li couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Master, this coffin is so heavy, how did those little ghosts lift it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhe Gu said, "I have always heard that this Xuanyin wood is extremely heavy, but I had no idea. Seeing it today really broadens my horizons."

"As for the weight, it's because the Xuanyin wood contains a lot of Yin energy, so it's not the wood that's heavy, but the Yin energy inside it."

Jiang Li nodded and said, "I see."

Aunt Zhe said impatiently, "Stop talking, stop talking, let's hurry up and get on with our journey!"

They picked up the two spirit chicken feathers on the ground, and then the four of them, led by Jiang Li, headed towards the Marshal's Mansion.

At this time, An Muxi looked at Wencai's swollen face and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Jiang, I saw everything just now. You still said that you hit Senior Brother Wencai secretly."

As he spoke, he let out a bell-like laugh. Jiang Li also laughed out loud, "He deserves it. As the master's eldest disciple who has been with the master for more than ten years, he was really scared when he encountered a ghost. If the master was here, I'm afraid he would hit him on the other side of the face with a stick."

An Muxi really didn't know what to say when she heard that, but she felt inexplicably happy when she saw Wencai's swollen face, and then she covered her mouth and laughed alone in the carriage.

...

When it was almost dark, the four of them finally arrived at the Marshal's Mansion. Uncle Jiu immediately came out to greet them upon seeing them.

Seeing that Zhegu and Uncle Jiu were embarrassed, Jiang Li whispered in Zhegu's ear, "Be more generous and make him feel more guilty."

Upon hearing this, Zhe Gu immediately said, "Alright, alright, saving people is the most important thing. Let's go and check on her!"

As they were talking, several people were led down to the second floor by Uncle Jiu. From the window, they saw Michelle sitting at the table and chatting with Mao Dalong, and the evil baby statue was on a shelf nearby.

So everyone went downstairs in silence. At this time, they only heard Zhe Gu frowning and saying, "The evil baby did come from me, but I don't know who took it away."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li quickly turned the topic to the maid and said, "I think there's something wrong with that maid. I wonder if she has ever been to Master Uncle's dojo."

Upon hearing this, Zhe Gu said, "What maid? Let me see!"

So, under the guidance of Uncle Jiu, Zhe Gu saw the maid busy in the kitchen. Her eyes widened when she saw her, but she did not say anything. Instead, she pulled Uncle Jiu and carefully retreated without being discovered.

When they came to Jiang Li and others to discuss, "That person did go to my temple to ask for a spirit baby. I saw nothing wrong with her at the time. I think she accidentally came into contact with the evil baby and was controlled by it. That's why she found the pregnant Marshal's wife and wanted to reincarnate."

Uncle Jiu was panicked when he heard this, "Then Senior Sister, please think of a way quickly. We must force this evil baby out."

Seeing Uncle Jiu's anxious face, Zhe Gu was very upset, but she remembered Jiang Li's words about being magnanimous, so she immediately acted like a senior sister and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother. I have already thought of an idea. Come with me and make some arrangements, and we will definitely be able to catch it easily."

Uncle Jiu was relieved when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Then let's go!"

Zhe Gu said to Jiang Li and An Muxi, "Just do as I told you before, and get ready!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them went to prepare the materials for drawing talismans. Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe also rode on the five-wheeled vehicles and pedaled into the woods.

As for Wencai who was unconscious in the carriage, no one cared about him.

It was already completely dark when Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe arrived at the forest. Aunt Zhe found a flat ground and said, "Let's just stay here. It's too far ahead to think about it. It may not come."

Then he and Uncle Jiu set up a simple playground. He and Uncle Jiu put on lion heads and started lion dancing and playing with the spirit baby in this simple playground.

As the lion jumped, the special gongs and drums at the lion's head and tail sounded at the same time, and the sound of the special frequency spread far away.

At this time, the evil baby, which was several hundred meters away, heard the sound that made it itchy in the mother's body. It could not sit still and flew towards the source of the sound as soon as it came out of the mother's body.

Not only the evil baby heard the sound, but even the maid heard it. When she saw the evil baby running away from its mother, she immediately chased after it in a hurry.

When Jiang Li and An Muxi saw that the two of them had left, they immediately asked Qiu Sheng to hold Mao Dalong back, while they went upstairs with An Muxi to find Michelle Lin who was chatting with Mi Nianjiao.

After explaining his purpose and getting her consent, Jiang Li went out and stood guard at the door. An Muxi took out the materials and began to draw a soul-calming talisman for the naked Michelle, while Mi Nianjiao on the side could only watch nervously.

Speaking of Uncle Jiu, after they jumped for a while, the evil baby really came. It first suddenly appeared and scared away the spirit babies, then flew over and rode on the lion's head, kicking and hitting them.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Jiu immediately reached out and grabbed it. Just as Zhe Gu asked for a yin-binding knife to tie it up, the maid who followed saw her master being caught, and immediately attacked Uncle Jiu from behind and kicked him in the head.

At this time, Uncle Jiu was secretly rejoicing that everything was going well. He never expected to be attacked by surprise. He was kicked hard and kicked to the side, and the evil baby in his hand also escaped.

When the maid saw that she had succeeded in her attack, she did not bother to continue and immediately ran away. Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe had no time to take care of the spiritual infant and immediately chased after her.

At this time, the evil baby had already arrived at the second floor of the Marshal's Mansion, but as soon as he landed, he saw Jiang Li, holding a golden hoop and a cunning chicken feather in his mouth, guarding the door.

Seeing the evil baby approaching, Jiang Li immediately chanted the divine spell to purify heaven and earth to focus his mind.
