Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

The old man grinned at Yu Chuda:

"Actually, I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it?"

Yu Chuda glared at the old man and said to Chu Sheng, "Junior brother, this old man has ill intentions."

Chu Sheng snorted lightly, "He wants to use the two of us as cannon fodder."

"Ah~" Yu Chuda nodded, "You're really naughty, you old man."

As the two brothers continued their banter, the old man's face grew increasingly grim, and he quickly forced a smile, saying:

"This old man does have some selfish motives; he's thinking of putting himself in a do-or-die situation to survive."

"But I absolutely did not intend to harm the two young heroes."

Yu Chuda and Chu Sheng remained silent, crossed their arms, and gave the old man a wry look.

"Eh..." The old man's mind raced, and he said with a forced smile, "I won't let you two help me for nothing."

"I am willing to pass on this divination technique to you two as a reward for saving my life."

As soon as the old man said this, Chu Sheng and Yu Chuda exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

The divination methods of the Shuzi School are known in the Xuanmen (Taoist school) as being easy to learn but difficult to master.

Although the old man looked timid and cowardly, the "Six Lines Coin Divination" technique he just displayed was far beyond what ordinary fortune tellers could match.

Such a secret technique, you actually want to pass it on to two strangers you just met?

"You jest, sir," Chu Sheng was the first to react, shaking his head. "How could your sect's secret techniques be so easily passed on?"

"Exactly, exactly." Yu Chuda shook his head in agreement, though he couldn't hide the curiosity in his eyes.

"Old man, don't try to trick us. If we learn your skills, does that mean we have to take the blame for you?"

Zhou Pei waved his hand with a wry smile: "My two young friends are overthinking it."

"I am an old man without any sect or school. This skill of mine was something I stumbled upon when I was young and figured out on my own."

"If you're happy, you can call it the 'Six-Line Coin Divination,' or if you're not, you can call it the 'Nine-Line Coin Divination.'"

"I know my time is almost up, so rather than taking it to my grave, I'd rather pass it on to someone who is destined to have it."

Chu Sheng exclaimed "Ah!" and finally understood what the old man meant.

If he survives, he will offer this extraordinary skill as a gift.

Even if he dies someday, he will have left behind a lineage.

In short, there are benefits regardless of life or death.

After some thought, Chu Sheng and Yu Chuda nodded simultaneously:

"Alright, we brothers will take the blame for you this time!"

The old man was overjoyed and bowed to Chu Sheng and Yu Chuda. Even ants try to survive, let alone someone as precious as him.

Seeing this, General Zhang interjected at the opportune moment: "I thank the three of you for your great help."

"If you can repel the enemy and relieve the siege, I, Zhang, will offer you a generous reward."

"General, you're too kind." Chu Sheng cupped his hands in greeting. "It is our duty to eliminate demons and uphold justice, but..."

He then changed the subject: "Since the Kagura clan dares to threaten the general, they must have something to rely on. We need to make some preparations."

"Just say what you need," Zhang Tiehu said with a wave of his hand.

Chu Sheng thought for a moment, then nudged Yu Chuda twice, "Senior brother..."

Yu Chuda exclaimed "Ah," and continued, "All the ritual implements, incense, candles, cinnabar, yellow paper, etc., needed to set up the altar..."

"Black dog blood, preferably from a dog over three years old; rooster blood, must be from the first rooster to crow at dawn; and also glutinous rice, red thread, copper coins..."

Each time he said something, Lieutenant Wang nodded and wrote it down. After he had finished writing, he saluted General Zhang.

He turned and left in a hurry.

"Junior brother, I'll go set up the protective formation."

"The 'Five Thunder Talisman' and the 'Evil Suppression Talisman' are now yours," Yu Chuda said.

Chu Sheng nodded. Although drawing talismans was the most tedious task, it was also a kind of training for him.

The old man chuckled and handed his divination manual and insights to Chu Sheng:

"Although I am not skilled in magical combat, my divination skills may be able to help you two deduce the enemy's movements."

"I can lend a hand."

Chu Sheng and Yu Chuda nodded simultaneously. As the saying goes, "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."

Although the old man's cultivation level was not high, his vision was never low.

It might even have a surprising effect.

……

One night passed.

The next morning, as a rooster crowed,

Chu Sheng got out of bed and rubbed his neck.

have to say,

Staying in a single room is really comfortable.

When he finished his morning lessons and opened the door, it was already broad daylight.

The locust tree in the courtyard reflected dappled golden light in the morning glow.

Chu Sheng stretched his limbs and was about to go to the front hall to find Yu Chuda.

But then they saw a group of people walking towards them from the other end of the corridor.

The head of the group was the steward, followed by two maids, with a woman flanking him in the middle.

The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

She wore a light white silk shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up, revealing the delicate skin of her wrists;

She wore a bright yellow sleeveless vest over it, the color of which was like lemon in the early morning sun. The vest was tailored to fit her body and accentuated her shoulder and waist lines.

The matching high-waisted wide-leg pants drape gracefully and flow effortlessly with every step.

She carried a brown leather medical kit, her steps steady, her expression focused.

It gives people a sense of competence and confidence.

"Master Chu, good morning..." The butler greeted Chu Sheng as he passed by.

"And who is this?" Before Chu Sheng could speak, the female doctor asked with a curious expression.

"Oh, Miss Duanmu, let me introduce you."

"This young hero is a renowned disciple of Maoshan, named Chu Sheng."

The butler, having witnessed Chu Sheng's prowess yesterday, spoke with great respect.

"Oh? So you're a famous disciple of Maoshan." The female doctor's voice was very lively, and she smiled. "My name is Duanmu Ying."

Chu Sheng murmured to himself, gazing at the bright and intelligent face before him, slightly mesmerized.

and many more!

Duanmu Ying?!

Could it be that Duanmu Ying?

"Hey, are you alright?" Duanmu Ying waved to Chu Sheng.

"N-nothing!"

Chu Sheng smelled the sweet fragrance emanating from Duanmu Ying and shook his head.

"I heard from Uncle Liu that you're very capable, that you can catch ghosts. Could you tell me about it?"

Duanmu Ying leaned closer to Chu Sheng and asked with expectant eyes.

"Why...why are you listening to this?" Chu Sheng asked, puzzled. "Aren't you scared, you're a girl?"

Duanmu Ying shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with longing for the unknown:

"I'd like to meet him; it might be helpful to my medical skills."

Chu Sheng suddenly smiled.

Come to think of it, this person was quite willful.

However... her capriciousness doesn't diminish her beauty.

"Not now."

Duanmu Ying frowned and asked, "Why?"

Chu Sheng pointed to the sun overhead: "Because it's daytime now, ghosts won't come out."

puff--

Duanmu Ying was amused by Chu Sheng's words.

"Then I'll go see Xiao Si first, and I'll come back to find you later."

After saying that, without waiting for the butler's reaction, he took the lead and walked away.

The butler was taken aback, bowed to Chu Sheng, and chased after him.

"Duanmu Ying is indeed beautiful."

Chu Sheng touched his chin, stared at the other person's back, and smiled faintly.

I'm curious what it would be like if I developed feelings for someone from this world.

Once back in the main world,

Could this lead to the creation of a Chu family?

"Well, since we're already here, let's make the best of it. Let's go draw the talisman first!"
