Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

Everyone looked anxious. None of them understood the Japanese language, so the plan could not be carried out.

"Never mind," Madonna said, unconcerned. "If it's not there, it's not there. Let's just stick to the decision my senior brother and I made earlier."

Mao Xiaofang nodded: "We cultivators have long since disregarded life and death, so you need not worry about us."

Feng Zhenguo sighed softly.

He greatly admired Mao Xiaofang's character and did not want to see such a master die.

"Wait a minute!"

Chu Sheng gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

He himself didn't understand why he had to stand up; he just felt a surge of determination and didn't want to see these people go to their deaths. He raised his hand and said:

"I speak Japanese!"

Everyone turned to look at Chu Sheng, their eyes filled with suspicion—

It's not that I suspect he's a spy, but rather that I doubt whether he actually speaks Japanese.

Mao Xiaofang thought Chu Sheng was showing off, and said with unusual seriousness:

"go back!"

"This is dangerous; it's not something to be taken lightly."

He had already made up his mind to die for his cause.

Since he knew it was certain death, he didn't want to let his newly accepted talented disciple take the risk.

"Master, I'm not being naughty, I really do speak Japanese."

"The Japanese devils carried out indoctrination in our area, and I learned a little about it."

Chu Sheng wasn't entirely lying; he had a friend who had systematically studied Japanese for a while in order to delve into technology.

He was influenced by what he saw and heard, so naturally he learned some things as well.

"That's wonderful!" Feng Zhenguo turned to Yang Shaohui and said happily.

"Since Comrade Chu can speak Japanese, let him sneak into the city and inquire at those two hospitals."

Yang Shaohui stared at Chu Sheng and said solemnly:

"Brother Chu, have you thought this through? Entering Gantian Town would be life-threatening. You're not part of our team, so this shouldn't have much to do with you."

"You can choose not to go!"

Chu Sheng shook his head, his tone firm: "It is my honor to be able to contribute to the resistance against Japan!"

"Besides, it is my duty as a disciple to help my master."

Mao Xiaofang wanted to persuade her again, but this time Ma Danna stopped her:

"Senior brother, this kid is very clever, and he has a keen eye, which makes things easier for him than for any of us. Just let him go."

Mao Xiaofang had no choice but to agree.

"Master, don't worry, I'm just going to scout ahead, it's nothing," Chu Sheng reassured him.

The day after tomorrow will be the seventh day. As long as he doesn't die, he can return to his original world. The Japanese devils are just dreaming if they want to capture him.

"You brat!" Mao Xiaofang glared at Chu Sheng with annoyance, but a smile of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Daring to act

No wonder he is Mao Xiaofang's disciple!

That's all for today.

"Tomorrow I'll find a Japanese military uniform for Comrade Chu to change into, and then find someone from Gantian Town to tell him about the situation inside."

Yang Shaohui glanced at the sky and, seeing that it was getting late, made a suggestion.

"good!"

"Let's do it this way."

Feng Zhenguo nodded in agreement. They also needed to go back to assign tasks and discuss countermeasures.

War is no joke.

They were heartbroken every time a brother was sacrificed.

……

"Junior brother, are you really going?"

After everyone dispersed, Mao Xiaofang and Ma Danna also left, but Yu Chuda stayed with Chu Sheng because he was worried about him.

He genuinely regarded Chu Sheng as his junior brother and didn't want to see him take risks.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I'll be fine," Chu Sheng said with a smile.

"Nonsense! Master said that the Japanese guns are faster than zombie hands, and you could lose your life if you're not careful." Yu Chuda glared at Chu Sheng, unusually serious.

"Senior brother, trust me this once." Chu Sheng put his arm around Yu Chuda's shoulder, then changed the subject jokingly:

"Come on, I'll copy your notes. That way, if I'm not around in the future, you'll have something to remember me by."

"You..." Yu Chuda raised his hand as if to hit him.

Snapped!

Chu Sheng grabbed his hand and said with a forced smile, "Just kidding, just kidding."

The two bickered and teased each other all the way.

It wasn't until around 3 a.m. the next day that Chu Sheng handed over the tidied "Ghost-Catching Notes" to Yu Chuda.

He annotated the newly written content, making it easier to read than the one he copied before.

After finishing all that, he not only didn't feel sleepy, but was even more energetic. He sat cross-legged and recited the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" while recalling some information about his sect.

The Maoshan School, inheriting from the Shangqing School, primarily emphasizes meditation and scripture recitation.

Cultivation focuses on visualizing the divine essence within the body.

At the same time, he also practiced health preservation techniques such as guiding exercises, breathing exercises, dietary supplements, and even external alchemy.

Originally, it also had its own cultivation system: Qi Condensation, Inquiry into the Dao, Mage, True Person, Celestial Master.

However, after the Song and Yuan dynasties, the concept of cultivating "internal alchemy" by using oneself as a furnace became the mainstream.

The names of the realms were also standardized:

The first step is to build a foundation and repair the body's deficiencies;

The second step is refining essence into qi, transforming the body's "essence" into "qi," and opening up the Ren and Du meridians.

Somewhat similar to a top-tier martial arts master in a wuxia novel;

The third step is to refine Qi into Shen, combining Qi and Shen to cultivate the Golden Elixir.

His master, Mao Xiaofang, is now only one step away from forming his core.

The fourth is refining the spirit to return to emptiness, breaking the boundary between consciousness and the void, allowing the yang spirit to leave the body and comprehend the great Dao of the universe;

The fifth stage is refining emptiness and uniting with the Dao. Upon reaching this stage, one is completely united with the ultimate "Dao," achieving eternity and transcendence.

However, according to Mao Xiaofang,

In this degenerate age, being able to cultivate the Golden Elixir is already a miracle.

Not to mention the fourth and fifth steps.

Nowadays, most Taoist practitioners rely on ancestral magical artifacts to punish evil spirits.

Time passed little by little.

Yu Chuda was awakened by the rooster's crow. Seeing that Chu Sheng was still cultivating, he did not disturb him.

She tiptoed out of the room and took on the morning's work on her own.

Chu Sheng hadn't been cultivating for long when Yang Shaohui, Lin Susu, and others came to visit again.

Lin Susu was also holding a package in her arms.

"Chu Sheng, I have good news for you," Lin Susu said happily.

"What good news?" Chu Sheng was taken aback.

"Hehe, this is for you."

Lin Susu placed the package on the table and casually pulled out a letter from it, handing it to Chu Sheng.

"This was intercepted by the neighboring brigade a few days ago when they ambushed a group of Japanese soldiers."

"The letter said that a Japanese officer had been transferred from the mainland to Gantian Town to take up a post."

"His clothes and identification are in here."

It was left over from cleaning up the battlefield; it's a bit damaged, but it'll be perfect for your mission.

Chu Sheng's eyes lit up. He took the document, flipped it open, and saw, "Sasaki Junzaburo, a second lieutenant officer's ID."

He smiled and said, "It's like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy."

"With this identity, it's much easier for me to go into the city."

Lin Susu and Yang Shaohui both showed joy, with the latter excitedly patting Chu Sheng on the shoulder:

"You can even read Japanese characters? That's impressive!"

Chu Sheng smiled – with the Multiverse Language Translator at his fingertips, this little matter was naturally no problem – and said modestly:

Japanese characters evolved from our ancient Chinese characters.

Except for those that are written in extremely messy handwriting, I can recognize most of them.

Yang Shaohui nodded and pulled over a girl who was about the same age as Xiaodouzi behind him:

"This is Wenjing. Let her tell you about the situation in the city."
