Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

Hearing Mao Xiaofang's words, which sounded like he was making his last wishes, Yu Chuda's heart sank, and his nose stung with tears. He said:

"Master!"

"You've been fighting demons and protecting the righteous path for so many years without any problems, so what could possibly happen if you deal with a small evil sect?"

Chu Sheng said, "Master, your magical powers are so great, how could they possibly harm you?"

Mao Xiaofang shook his head, "I am naturally confident in dealing with the Jiuju faction repeatedly."

"but……"

He paused, then added, "There are still heavy Japanese troops guarding Gantian Town."

"That's hard to say."

Chu Sheng's expression changed. Others might not know how powerful Little Baga was, but as someone from a later generation, he was well aware of it.

The weapons and quality of the Little Baka are extremely high, especially the Kujii team, which has not been affected by the island and still maintains a strong mentality, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

"Alright, life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate. I am merely leaving you with a safeguard."

Mao Xiaofang shook his head, not wanting to continue the discussion.

"As for the spells you copied..."

He pondered for a moment.

"The 'Paper-cutting Soldiers Technique' is one of the basic techniques of Maoshan, emphasizing the connection between mind and intention, and controlling the paper with qi. Do not attempt it without a solid foundation."

Spells without magical power are like memorizing a text—no matter how well you memorize it, it's useless.

As for "Spirit Binding and General Command", he was not worried that Chu Sheng could learn it.

This technique is dangerous; it requires pure Yang energy to suppress the evil spirits. Rashly practicing it can easily lead to demonic possession.

It's all clearly written in the notes: Chu Sheng is a smart man and can make decisions.

Yu Chuda asked curiously, "Master, what about that 'Winning at Gambling Technique' that I copied..."

"This is a heretical and evil practice!" Mao Xiaofang interrupted sharply. "This technique damages one's karma and invites disaster. If you dare to practice it, you'll be the first to suffer!"

Yu Chuda shrank back in fright and repeatedly replied, "This disciple wouldn't dare! This disciple wouldn't dare!"

Mao Xiaofang handed "The Ghost-Catching Notes" to Chu Sheng and said:

"If you have time, organize the contents into a document. If you really can't, just copy it. It will be useful in the future."

Chu Sheng was overjoyed. He had been worried about not having the chance to learn more skills. He said something and quickly found paper and pen, copying the words page by page.

As for organizing it, I'll do that after I've finished copying it and have a better grasp of it.

After giving his instructions, Mao Xiaofang took Yu Chuda to continue drawing talismans until the sun set, when he finally stopped, exhausted.

Chu Sheng, however, was thoroughly enjoying himself and copied the text until midnight.

"Junior brother, you're really ruthless," Yu Chuda said admiringly. Sitting there all day, writing, was something he couldn't do.

"Master's notes are too varied and cover too wide a range of topics, from divination and fortune-telling to dragon vein searching and cave exploration," Chu Sheng said with a smile, putting down his pen and closing the notes.

"Do you have any powerful spells? Tell me about them!" Yu Chuda's eyes lit up with curiosity.

"Look for yourself."

Chu Sheng handed the notebook to Yu Chuda. He copied it once today, and will copy it again tomorrow. He will leave one copy for Yu Chuda and put the other in his spatial storage to take with him.

According to company rules, apart from clothes, only items in the space can be brought in or taken away.

"Ah..." Yu Chuda yawned, put down his notebook, and prepared to look at it again tomorrow.

Chu Sheng stretched, blew out the candle, and slept soundly all night.

The three of them spent the rest of the day in peace and quiet.

After finishing drawing the talisman, Mao Xiaofang had some rare free time and personally explained the secrets of cultivation to the master and his apprentice.

Chu Sheng was even more surprised to find that he was about to break through the first level and felt the "qi sensation" that Mao Xiaofang had mentioned.

"Very good. You can feel the Qi after only three days of learning. Your talent far surpasses that of your three senior brothers, and is even comparable to my senior brother Lei Gang."

Mao Xiaofang was very pleased. It was a source of pride for them, as his teachers, to have such a talented disciple.

However, while praising Chu Sheng, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes—a characteristic of intelligent people is that they are prone to going astray.

"Master, I'm not convinced!" Yu Chuda said. "I don't think Chu Sheng can beat me."

"Shut up! You've been practicing for almost five years and haven't even mastered Qi cultivation yet. How dare you speak like that?" Mao Xiaofang liked to tease Yu Chuda from time to time, his purpose being to prevent him from getting arrogant.

Just as the three of them were chatting enthusiastically, footsteps came from outside the ancestral hall, the sound growing louder as they approached.

Soon, Feng Zhenguo led a group of people in, and said happily:

"Master Mao, I've reported your matter to the brigade, and it has received attention from higher-ups. Based on the decisions of the higher authorities and the Party branch committee, we've launched an attack on Gantian Town ahead of schedule."

"This is our branch leader, Comrade Yang Shaohui."

As Feng Zhenguo spoke, he introduced a bespectacled, thirty-something-year-old cadre with a slightly chubby face to Mao Xiaofang.

"Master Mao, I've heard so much about you."

Yang Shaohui nodded at Mao Xiaofang with a forced smile.

"You're welcome."

Mao Xiaofang sensed the coldness in Yang Shaohui's tone and subconsciously looked at Feng Zhenguo.

"Hehe, Comrade Yang is highly educated. He's a top student who returned from some university in America, and he's a staunch atheist," Feng Zhenguo explained with a smile.

"It's MIT," Yang Shaohui said proudly, adjusting his glasses.

"Captain, our Comrade Chu is also a college student." At this moment, Xiaodouzi and Lin Susu, who was wrapped in bandages, walked in together and smiled at Chu Sheng.

"Comrade Lin, why are you here instead of taking good care of your injuries?" Chu Sheng looked at Lin Susu in surprise, feeling a deep sense of kinship with this heroine.

"I have a mission coming up soon, so of course I have to come," Lin Susu said with a smile.

"Mission?" Chu Sheng blinked, wondering if she was also going to attack Gantian Town.

Before he could even speak, Yang Shaohui suddenly attacked him:

"You're Chu Sheng?"

Chu Sheng nodded. "It's me."

Yang Shaohui looked Chu Sheng up and down, his tone subtly unfriendly as he said:

"I heard that you not only saved Comrade Susu, but also Captain Feng? Our detachment and brigade haven't had a chance to properly thank you yet."

As he spoke, he pulled out three silver dollars. "This is a tip for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, everyone present froze – he was clearly trying to distance himself from Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng frowned further and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Yang Shaohui remained silent, instead questioning Chu Sheng from all angles:

"Comrade Chu, it can be said that you saved Comrade Susu, which can be considered a coincidence."

"But as far as I know, the Japanese soldiers in Gantian Town had already taken away all the glutinous rice within a radius of thirty miles."

"Can you explain to us how you happen to have the glutinous rice to cure Captain Feng?"

Chu Sheng was utterly speechless. It seemed this "new official" was doubting him, and he had no choice but to tell the truth:

"I bought it for 250 yuan, do you believe me?"

Yang Shaohui's expression changed instantly, and he adopted the demeanor of a "government official," slamming his hand on the table and shouting:

"Comrade Chu, please answer carefully!"
