Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

"I actually have some." Chu Sheng had already thought of this, and handed a pound of glutinous rice to Mao Xiaofang, "Please accept this fine glutinous rice, Master."

Mao Xiaofang blinked, turned her head to look behind Chu Sheng, and saw that his back was empty, so he couldn't hide anything. She asked curiously:

"Do you perhaps possess the legendary mustard seed bag from ancient times?"

Chu Sheng nodded: "Master guessed correctly."

Mao Xiaofang glanced at Yu Chuda, who immediately brought over a cup of tea and handed it to Chu Sheng:

"Let's serve tea."

Chu Sheng quickly did as instructed, putting down the glutinous rice and respectfully handing Mao Xiaofang a cup of tea.

Mao Xiaofang took the teacup, and with a gentle turn of his fingertip on the rim, a layer of golden light appeared on the tea.

He took a sip, nodded, and said:

"Sincerity resides in tea, and righteousness in rice. From this day forward, you will be my fourth disciple."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a torch in the garden crackled and popped.

Yu Chuda shrank his neck and muttered, "Could it be that the ancestral master has appeared to us?"

Mao Xiaofang smiled faintly: "The lanterns are bursting with joy, it seems that taking you as my disciple is indeed a blessing."

Chu Sheng felt a weight lifted from his heart, but then he heard Mao Xiaofang say again:

"Now that you have entered my school, you must abide by the precepts. First, you must not use magic to harm others or seek personal gain."

"Second, we must not stand by and watch someone die; third..."

He paused, glancing at the wind-sniffing weasel in the cage, which was staring at him expectantly.

"Spirit beasts must not be abused."

"I will remember," Chu Sheng replied respectfully, his heart overflowing with joy.

Madana stood to the side with her arms crossed, and snorted, "Senior Brother Mao, your new apprentice is quite cunning. You'd better teach him a lesson."

Mao Xiaofang stroked his beard and smiled: "Hehe, junior sister, don't worry, your brother will definitely teach you well."

"However, Taoist exorcism sometimes requires flexibility."

"Get up. After you've finished dealing with things here, go back and burn paper money to worship the ancestral master."

Chu Sheng stood up, dusted off his knees, and handed the glutinous rice to Mao Xiaofang:

"Master, look at this glutinous rice of mine. It's super pure. Zombies will eat it one by one without making a sound."

"purity?"

Mao Xiaofang had never heard of glutinous rice having a purity level before, so he grabbed three grains and put them in his mouth to chew them carefully.

As an aroma far exceeding that of ordinary glutinous rice spread in his mouth, even this ghost-catching master was quite surprised.

"Indeed quite good." Mao Xiaofang nodded, looking at "Captain" Feng Zhenguo, who was bound by wooden planks, and exclaimed:

"Perhaps Captain Feng still has a chance to be saved."

The guerrillas present were so excited when they heard that Feng Zhenguo would not die that they almost cried.

Little Bean hugged Chu Sheng tightly, excitedly saying:

"Brother Chu, our captain won't die."

Chu Sheng patted Xiao Douzi's shoulder twice and teased him:

"Don't cry, be strong."

"If you have nothing else to do, boil some hot water for your captain to take a bath. He smells too strong, and it wouldn't be good if he attracted a female ghost."

Little Bean seemed to understand, but didn't quite, and nodded: "I'll go right now."

After saying that, he jogged outside.

"The corpse poison in this person seems rather strange."

Madana glanced at Chu Sheng, squatted down next to Feng Zhenguo to examine the teeth marks on his arm, and frowned.

"The Nine Chrysanthemums School, I don't know where they found a piece of scales."

"There's a very evil energy there that can make zombies stronger."

Madana realized something was wrong: "The Nine Chrysanthemums Sect is most skilled at refining corpses from living people."

"So, isn't this a calamity for our China?"

Mao Xiaofang nodded. "That's why I was so eager to invite you here."

"With your Ma family's Shenlong here, dealing with these demons will be much easier."

"but……"

Mao Xiaofang looked up at the moon and calculated with his fingers:

"They possess a statue of a prince from the Qing Dynasty, which will be fully refined in five days."

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Madanna said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and wipe out those demons from the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect right now!"

Mao Xiaofang shook his head and looked at Feng Zhenguo:

"Gantian Town is heavily guarded; you and I alone wouldn't be able to get into the Japanese laboratory."

"I'm afraid we won't even be able to get into the city."

"We still need Captain Feng to wake up, organize the team, and work together."

Madana was impatient, and stood up, saying:

"Without further ado, Senior Brother Mao and I will expel the poison from him."

Mao Xiaofang nodded: "I will set up the Plum Blossom Dust-Watching Formation. With our combined skills, we will surely be able to drive away most of them."

As he spoke, he looked down at the glutinous rice in his hand and said, "The rest depends on this glutinous rice."

Just do it.

Mao Xiaofang took out five antique copper coins from his cloth bag and pulled out a red thread.

With a flick of his finger, he untied the rope binding Feng Zhenguo.

With his other hand, he grabbed Feng Zhenguo's body and threw him upwards.

Feng Zhenguo was seen spinning rapidly in mid-air, and when he landed, his body was covered with red lines.

Madona wasn't idle either; she kept something in the cloth bag at her waist.

Five blank talisman papers were drawn out.

He bit his fingertip, used his blood as ink, and wrote with flowing strokes.

In an instant, five talismans were drawn with crimson runes, with faint traces of thunder and fire flowing through them, and were tossed to Mao Xiaofang.

"Senior brother, catch this."

Mao Xiaofang took the blood talisman, began to perform the steps of the Qigong, and chanted incantations.

Five copper coins were placed on five acupoints on Feng Zhenguo's forehead, shoulders, chest, and lower abdomen.

Then the blood talisman was placed over the copper coin.

With each talisman applied, Feng Zhenguo's body would tremble violently, and black energy seemed to surge beneath his skin.

"Plum blossoms gaze upon the dust, dispelling evil and binding demons!"

Mao Xiaofang pointed his fingers like a sword and swiftly flicked them from a distance.

The five blood talismans moved automatically without wind, and floated slightly.

The blood-red patterns on the talisman glowed with a faint dark red light, intertwined with each other.

The faint outline of a five-petaled plum blossom appeared on Feng Zhenguo's body.

Seeing this, Ma Dana sat cross-legged beside Feng Zhenguo's head, formed a hand seal, and gave a clear shout:

"The Dragon God commands: Purify and dispel evil!"

A faint golden light emanated from her body.

A wisp of pure yang energy flowed into Feng Zhenguo's body along the plum blossom formation.

"Uh...ha..."

Feng Zhenguo's face turned bluish-black, and he let out a low growl that sounded inhuman.

His body was taut like a bow, and the red thread wrapped around it creaked and groaned.

In an instant, wisps of thick, ink-like black smoke were forced out of the wound on his arm.

"This is weird."

Chu Sheng instinctively took a step back, but then he suddenly remembered something.

If you die in this world, are you truly dead, or can you start over?

Fortunately, the black smoke made a "sizzling" sound and slowly dissipated as soon as it came into contact with the light of the plum blossom array in the air.

Sweat beaded on Madana's forehead as she hissed, "Senior brother, this corpse poison is incredibly potent!"

Mao Xiaofang frowned, maintained the hand seal, and shouted, "Scatter the glutinous rice down."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chuda immediately pulled Chu Sheng along and began to act.

"Sprinkle it on the wound," he reminded him, grabbing a handful of glistening glutinous rice and sprinkling it towards Feng Zhenguo.

Chu Sheng stepped forward as instructed, and without hesitation, swung the object forcefully.

Pat-pat...

A surprising scene unfolded: when Nuomi encountered the black mist or touched Feng Zhenguo,

It emits a blue light and instantly rises a plume of white smoke with a fishy stench.

"What a powerful effect!" Yu Chuda exclaimed in surprise, "It's much better than the aged glutinous rice that Master bought."

Madanna glanced at the glutinous rice in Chu Sheng's hand with slight surprise, then composed herself and intensified her efforts to activate her magic power.

Seeing that the glutinous rice had taken effect, Chu Sheng felt a little relieved and immediately grabbed a handful and pressed it onto Feng Zhenguo's wound.

Feeling as if he had stirred up a hornet's nest, Feng Zhenguo screamed in pain and woke up with a start.

"ah--"

Feng Zhenguo's screams were deafening.

However, the effect was excellent, and no more black smoke came out of the wound.

The bluish-black color on his skin had faded considerably, turning into a weak, sallow yellow.

After a moment, his tense body relaxed, and although his breathing was weak, it was steady.

"That's enough!"

Mao Xiaofang and Ma Danna exchanged a glance, then simultaneously stopped their practice and rolled backward to stand up.

However, his complexion was pale, indicating that he had expended a great deal of energy.

"Ninety percent of the corpse poison has been removed, but the remaining poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow."

"Wipe the wound with glutinous rice water daily, and it will be completely healed within ten days."

Mao Xiaofang wiped his sweat and spoke to the guerrillas who had gathered around him.
