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

Chapter 325: Life-burning Curse?

But he changed the subject, "But I'm still a little curious, what method will the Sect Master use to deal with that Jiang guy!"

Upon hearing this, Shimazu Meiye knew that if he didn't tell the truth today, it would be difficult to explain to Muto Yoshinobu.

So he said with a serious face: "In reply to the general, I plan to use the Burning Life Curse to deal with Jiang Li!"

Muto Yoshinobu frowned when he heard this, "I have also heard of the Burning Life Curse mentioned in the sect!"

"But as far as I know, isn't this Life-Burning Curse a method of burning the life of the caster and cursing the enemy?"

"Even if Master Shimazu has a high level of cultivation, it would still be difficult to curse to death a powerful warlord with hundreds of thousands of troops!"

In fact, Muto Yoshinobu knew that this method was not difficult at all, but was simply impossible. However, out of consideration for Shimazu Meiye's face, he did not sabotage it in person.

Shimazu Meiye smiled and nodded when he heard this, "Master Muto is absolutely right. I certainly cannot accomplish such a feat by myself!"

"But our Jiuju School has been studying Yin-Yang techniques painstakingly over the years and has made a huge breakthrough."

"Just a few years ago, we combined the 108 Earth Killing Formation with the Burning Life Curse. Multiple people can cast the Burning Life Curse at the same time. By then, with everyone's combined strength, we will definitely be able to curse Jiang Li to death!"

Muto Yoshinobu was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he became worried: "It would be good to curse the man surnamed Jiang, but I also know that casting the Life-burning Curse will cause a large loss of lifespan. Cursing a person of this level will certainly cause a huge loss of lifespan. I..."

"Master Muto, there is no need to say more. Onmyoji has been on a downward spiral since the Nara period, and has now fallen to the point of serving the common people. If no changes are made, they will probably disappear in the long river of history!"

"This is a good opportunity for us to step onto the stage of history again and let the name of Japan's Onmyoji resound throughout the world. So even if it means burning several decades of our lifespan, we will do it without hesitation!"

After hearing his righteous words, Muto Yoshinobu immediately stood up and bowed, "I admire the righteousness of Shimazu Sect Master. If you need any help from the sect this time, just ask. I will fully support you!"

Shimazu Meiye also stood up and bowed to express his gratitude, "It is thanks to the help of Master Muto that we have this opportunity, so I should be the one to thank you!"

Muto Yoshinobu immediately became angry when he heard this, and bent his body even lower, "Master Shimazu, it's my turn to salute you!"

Now, the two guys started to bow to each other, neither of them giving way to the other. If Jiang Li saw this scene, he would probably think that they were getting married!

No one knows how long they bowed, but in the end, Shimazu Meiya wrote down the things needed to cast the spell, and Muto Yoshinobu went to prepare them.

What made Muto Yoshinobu most embarrassed was what was written by Shimazu Meiye, which required Jiang Li's underwear or blood, hair, and birth date.

This made Muto Yoshinobu feel very troubled. If they could get into Jiang Li's body, there would be no need for any spells. One bullet could easily solve the problem.

However, in order not to dampen Shimazu Meiye's enthusiasm, he just frowned slightly and agreed to the matter. Anyway, it didn't require him to do these things himself.

...

But Zhihe Yingji, who was far away in Fujian, suffered a disaster. Just half a day ago, he received a secret order from Muto Yoshinobu, asking him to obtain Jiang Li's underwear, hair, blood, and birth date at all costs.

When Zhi and Yingji received this order, their jaws almost dropped. Why should they take these at all costs? If we can get close to him, wouldn't it be better to kill him directly?

But after repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the order, he finally had to admit that this was indeed an order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

There was no other way. He could only follow the order and immediately mobilize all the forces he could to go to Guangdong and try his best to obtain these things.

However, Guangdong at this time was not so easy to infiltrate, because the city gods and land gods in various places had returned to their places.

After another three months of development, although they could not control every inch of land, they were still able to know every little movement in the city.

As a result, those spies who infiltrated Guangdong were easily captured by the secret guards one by one, and then secretly escorted to Tushan Yaya for interrogation.

Then these people were taken to the mountains and participated in a shooting training.

With the confession, the secret guard naturally learned the mission of these people, and then quickly reported it to Jiang Li.

However, Jiang Li was in seclusion at the time and did not receive the report at all. When he came out, half a month had passed since the incident.

Back to Zhihe Yingji, after he learned that his men suffered heavy losses, he knew that he couldn't go on like this.

So I racked my brains hoping to find a solution, but it turned out to be a dumb person who could not say anything.

After some thought, Zhihe Yingji actually found a solution, which was to send someone directly to Jiang Li's hometown to find the old clothes that Jiang Li wore when he was a child.

As a result, he really succeeded this time, because that place was outside the town and it was Jiang Li's hometown, so no land was allocated there.

Sure enough, two days later, a secret letter about the theft in Jiang Li's house was delivered to the government hall.

This scared the clerks, so they immediately sent people to verify what had been stolen from Jiang Li's house.

As a result, I found out that the thief only stole some gold, silver and clothes, which was not a big loss.

The most precious one is the big red flower that Jiang Li and Ren Tingting wore when they got married.

Knowing that the loss was not serious, the people in the secretarial office were no longer so panicked. They gathered a group of militiamen to ambush near Jiang Li's hometown, hoping to catch the thieves.

Then he wrote about the theft in a report and had it delivered to Jiang Li's office, where it was placed together with the military newspapers.

...

Back at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, when Muto Yoshinobu got these clothes that Jiang Li had worn who knows how many years ago, he became furious.

"Baka, what the hell is that guy Zhihe Yingji doing? Since he uses these things to fool this general, does he still want to live?"

After hearing Muto Yoshinobu's curse, the man who came to deliver the things dared not say a word and could only kneel on the ground obediently.

At this time, Shimazu Meiye on the side was laughing. Muto Yoshinobu heard the laughter and immediately turned to look at him, his eyes seemed to ask, "What are you laughing at, old man?"

Shimazu Meiye saw Muto Yoshinobu's expression and immediately explained with a smile, "Master Muto, don't be angry. As long as I have this big red flower and his birth date, it is enough for me to cast a spell!"
