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

Chapter 118: Can the problem be solved by marrying one more wife?

Uncle Jiu heard this and said, "There are three ways to do this. The first is to spend all your wealth to avoid disaster. Spend all your wealth to build bridges and roads to help the poor. By then, you will have a lot of merits, and even if you forcibly break this spell, you won't suffer much backlash."

Everyone in the Ren family shook their heads. Losing money but still being alive, isn't that the most tormenting thing in the world? How could the landlords and gentry like them accept this? What's more, backlash could not be completely avoided in this way, so they naturally could not agree.

So he said solemnly, "Uncle Jiu, please tell me the other two methods."

Uncle Jiu knew that they were unwilling to give up their wealth, so he immediately said, "The second way is to train a king, a prince or a general in the clan to block the operation of the formation with great luck. In this way, the formation will break by itself, and the clan members will not be affected much."

Everyone was disappointed again after hearing this. It was not so easy to produce a king, a prince, a general or a minister. Even the top families could hardly produce one. How could their remote small family like the Ren family dare to even think about that?

Seeing that no one was talking, Uncle Jiu said, "Then there is only one last way left, which is to find a person with great luck and use his luck to temporarily suppress your own luck from being absorbed."

"In the future, do more good deeds to accumulate merits. After a dozen years, when your children grow up, you can use their luck to support the formation. However, there are many variables. The decision is really up to you all."

Jiang Li thought to himself, "What a good trick of fighting poison with poison."

At this time, Ren Fa asked, "I wonder what kind of person Uncle Jiu is talking about, and where can I find him?"

Uncle Jiu frowned and said, "A person with great luck must be at least a governor or above. However, these people are not willing to lend their luck to you easily. I'm afraid it will be quite difficult."

"But this person with great fortune doesn't have to be a human. It can be a mountain god, a land god, or a city god, as long as the incense is strong and the merits are profound."

Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Ren Youfu was confused, Ren Fa seemed to be thinking about something, but Ren Tingting exclaimed, "Isn't Huang Silang a mountain god? If I go and worship him as my godfather, won't I be able to get his protection?"

Jiang Li scratched her nose in annoyance and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Huang Silang is nothing. If you really want to rely on his luck, just adopt him as your godson. Why do you want to worship him as a godfather? It makes me a generation shorter for nothing."

"Besides, how come I don't know when it became a mountain god?"

When Ren Tingting saw Jiang Li doing such intimate actions in front of so many elders, she lowered her head in shame and dared not say anything.

But Ren Fa was pleasantly surprised and said, "Yes, Ali, doesn't Huang Silang want to be a mountain god? You are familiar with him, so go talk to him and he will surely make it happen!"

Uncle Jiu said, "This may be difficult. Master Ren doesn't know that Huang Silang once had some disputes with my disciple. By chance, he has become connected with my disciple's destiny."

"If its luck could suppress this fortune-making formation, then Tingting, who had prayed to heaven and earth with Ali, should have been pregnant long ago. But Tingting is not pregnant at this moment, which means that Huang Silang's luck is not enough to suppress this fortune-making formation."

Several elders and Ren Youfu on the side listened to what they said for a long time, and their heads were full of question marks. Ren Youfu couldn't help but asked immediately, "What are you talking about Huang Silang, the mountain god? Why don't I understand?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu had no choice but to explain to them the whole story of Huang Silang from beginning to end, which surprised everyone.

Wow, I actually have a relative who is familiar with the mountain god. If you round it off, am I not a relative of the mountain god?

Ren Fa was somewhat embarrassed after hearing Uncle Jiu's explanation, "That makes it difficult. I wonder if the ancestor Huang Silang, as Uncle Jiu mentioned before, can help?"

Uncle Jiu heard this and said, "Maybe it can help, but there is no reason for it to meddle in this matter. You know, if you suppress the luck, it may backfire. I don't think it will be willing to take this risk."

After much deliberation, the crowd came up with ideas for mountain gods, land gods, and city gods, all of which had no real origins. They were either rural gods or clay or stone statues without divinity.

Although there were some incense sticks and blessings, there was no deity involved, so it was simply unable to take on this important task, and no available god or person could be found.

At this point, Ren Fa's eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "I remember that Ali has several hundred men under his command, right? If we increase the number of men in the territory several times, and add the help of the mountain god Huang Silang, can we suppress this formation?"

Uncle Jiu frowned and thought, "Logically speaking, this should work. Although Huang Silang has received a lot of worship, he still doesn't have a formal deity. When he truly becomes a deity, combined with Ali's own luck, maybe it will work."

Ren Fa smiled happily upon hearing this and said, "Okay, okay, let's do this. When the time comes, I will definitely support Ali and Huang Silang with all my strength. I will build a temple for it and promote it, and I will definitely make it a god as soon as possible."

Ren Youfu saw Ren Fa laughing happily and asked immediately, "Cousin, what are you doing? Your family's problem has been solved, but what should I do? I only have one daughter. You have to help me, otherwise my family will be extinct if this continues!"

At this time, Ren Tingting said, "I have a way."

Seeing everyone looking at her, she blushed and said, "When the time comes, just let Zhuzhu marry Brother Li. Then she can also be protected by Brother Li."

Ren Zhuzhu, who had come to watch the show, blushed as a monkey's butt when she heard this. When she saw her father looking at her, she immediately shouted, "No, he's my cousin's husband, how can I...can..."

Just as Ren Tingting was about to step forward to persuade her, Jiang Li grabbed her waist and lifted her up to the side, putting her down with her back to the crowd.

He bit Ren Tingting's ear and whispered, "It seems that you got itchy because I didn't check your body for just one day last night. If that's the case, I'm going to check you carefully tonight to prevent you from causing any trouble again."

Ren Tingting was already aroused by Jiang Li's bite, but she was frightened to death when she heard what he said. If he was serious, he would not want her life.

So she hurriedly explained in a panic, "Brother Li, don't get me wrong. I just can't handle it alone, and I want to find someone to share the burden with me. Please don't think too much..."

Jiang Li was too lazy to listen to her nonsense, and immediately blocked her mouth, not letting her say another word. After a while, he let go and said, "Just wait tonight, you'll see what happens to you!"

Then he pulled the anxious Ren Tingting in front of everyone and said with a smile, "Tingting was just joking. Don't take it seriously. Let's discuss other solutions!"

At this time, Ren Youfu, who had been thinking for a long time, said, "Actually, I think Tingting's suggestion is not bad."

Jiang Li was dumbfounded and said, "Uncle, don't joke with me. I am a Taoist priest from Mount Mao. One of the precepts of Mount Mao is not to commit adultery, which means you cannot have casual sex with men and women. So I can only marry one wife, otherwise I will be punished for breaking the precepts!"
