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

Chapter 161: Named Cang Rui, Spiritual Weapon Obtained

"There is a Jiazi God in my Taoism. His surname is Wang and his given name is Wenqing. His body is also a rat. Why don't you take his surname?"

The rat demon nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "It would be great if I could have the same last name as the Great God. Then what should I be called?"

Jiang Li thought for a while and said, "You have gray hair, so you can put the word 'cang' in your name. I think you should be called Wang Cangrui!"

"The people will be blessed with good fortune. I think the people will be able to accept such a mountain god!"

The rat demon squeaked non-stop upon hearing this, nodding its head repeatedly. After a long time, it excitedly transmitted its message, "Okay, okay, I'll be called Wang Cangrui from now on!"

After naming it, Jiang Li took it to the statue of the Three Pure Ones, handed it a Taoist scripture, and asked it to recite it carefully to refine the evil spirit, and other things could be discussed later.

Afterwards, he found An Muxi and asked about the small black sword.

"Brother Jiang, the little black sword has been in the incense burner. I went to see it the day before yesterday!"

"Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister An. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go take a look."

"Brother Jiang, you are too polite. You don't need to thank me for doing something that is easy for you."

Jiang Li said a few more polite words to her and then went to the big incense burner in front of the hall. However, there were many people burning incense at that time, so he couldn't do it directly, so he could only wait.

But at this moment he saw Ah Xing and Xiao Yue, each carrying a large bundle of paper towards the backyard. Jiang Li immediately became interested and hurriedly followed them to help carry it, and asked what the paper was used for.

"Senior Brother Jiang, when did you come back?" Xiaoyue asked happily.

"I just came back from Dalius Town. What are you doing carrying this bundle of paper?"

Just as Xiaoyue was about to answer, Ah Xing answered, "This is used to print ghost money."

As he spoke, he threw a smug look at Xiaoyue, causing Xiaoyue to glare at him angrily and continue to explain to Jiang Li, "Master, you have been hired by the underworld to be the head of the underworld business. These are all used to print underworld money!"

Jiang Li's eyes widened when he heard this. He knew what this meant. It meant that the Zombie Supreme was about to begin.

And he would most likely face off against Lightning King Shi Jian, who was a candidate for the next leader of Maoshan. His strength was so great that he was definitely not capable of dealing with it now.

Seeing this, Ah Xing and Xiao Yue thought that Jiang Li was shocked because he didn't know about this news, so they immediately said to him, "Brother Jiang, don't you know about this?"

Jiang Li frowned and nodded mechanically.

Xiaoyue said to him in surprise, "Then let's go quickly. I'll take you to see how ghost money is printed!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li put his worries aside and went with them to the backyard, holding the paper, to the newly built printing room.

Since he knew how events would develop, he would naturally try his best to avoid it. If he really couldn't avoid it, he was not without a chance of winning.

"Although my current cultivation level is not high, I do have a storage bag. If I put a few machine guns in it, I can catch Shi Jian by surprise and maybe kill him."

At this time, Qiu Sheng, A Qiang and A De were busy printing paper money for the dead. A lot of paper money had already been printed on the table and was lying there waiting for the ink to dry.

Jiang Li put the paper down and came to the table to look at the printed ghost money. "Second Brother, are all these ghost money 5,000 taels each? There are no smaller denominations. Can they be changed down there?"

Qiu Sheng was very unhappy when he heard this, "I told you not to call me Second Senior Brother. You can just call me Senior Brother or Senior Brother Qiu Sheng. Why do you have to call me Second Senior Brother?"

Jiang Li said innocently, "Because Wencai is the eldest senior brother, your second disciple will naturally be the second senior brother."

Qiu Sheng looked at Jiang Li's expression and knew that no matter what he said, it would be of no use, so he stopped worrying about it.

"We did print some 4,000 taels last month, but Master suddenly received a message from the underworld, saying that we should change it to 5,000 taels, so we printed 5,000 taels this month!"

Jiang Li understood what was going on after hearing this. "In the movie, Uncle Jiu made the changes because he felt the prices were rising. Now, it's the underworld that's making the changes. I wonder if this is the world correction force that was circulated on the Internet in the previous life?"

After joking with a few people for a while, he turned around and left.

He came to the main hall with a frown, and looked at Uncle Jiu who was interpreting the fortune for the pilgrims from afar, "I don't know if this is a coincidence, or if it is really as I guessed."

"If the world is really being corrected, then I may not be able to prevent Shi Shaojian from being killed, and then I may really have to face Shi Jian."

"No, I have to prepare myself, in case I really have no trump card to play when the fight comes!"

Thinking of this, he thought of the small black sword again, "If I refine that spiritual weapon and add the machine gun, maybe I can have a fighting force."

Having made up his mind, he went to the training room and started meditating. After all, it was still early and there were many people around, so it would not be appropriate to get the small sword now.

Afterwards, he began to circulate his spiritual power and practice.

He practiced until he was mentally exhausted, then he stopped and walked to the square. Seeing that there was no one around, he lit a stick of incense, reached into the incense burner, and took out the small black sword.

After carefully sensing the sword, he found that there was no evil spirit on the sword anymore, so he took the rest and went to look for Uncle Jiu.

"Master, how do you think this sword is doing? Do you still need to offer incense to it?"

Uncle Jiu took the sword and looked at it. "No need, the evil spirit on this sword has been completely cleared. You just need to drip blood on it to recognize the master, and then you can use it freely after warming up your magic power.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li hurriedly did as he was told. He pierced his index finger with the tip of the sword and forced out a few drops of blood. Afterwards, he indeed felt a weak consciousness in the small sword.

After several attempts, he established a connection with that consciousness, but it was too weak to be explained clearly.

Jiang Li did not continue to try after seeing this, "Master, I think the weapon spirit seems to be very weak, I wonder how I can nurture it?"

"You don't have to do anything deliberately. Just inject a stream of magic power into the sword every morning, and it will recover on its own in no time."

Jiang Li nodded upon hearing this, and then asked with a smile, "I heard that Master became the head of the Underworld. I wonder when that happened?"

"Oh, about two or three months. You were with Tingting the whole time before that, so I didn't tell you such a small thing." Uncle Jiu looked up at the track with his hands behind his back.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Li naturally flattered him and greatly satisfied Uncle Jiu's vanity.

Then, he remembered a rumor circulating on the Internet in his previous life, so he asked his uncle, "Master, I heard that Yinming Banknotes will cause loss of fortune. Is this true?"

Uncle Jiu was stunned when he heard this, "Who told you this?"

"As a teacher, I am working in the underworld. As long as I do not violate the rules of the underworld, I will not lose any fortune. On the contrary, I will gain a lot of merit by helping the underworld run smoothly!"
