Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

"No, the weather in the mountains has been strange these past few days, it's been foggy, I don't dare go in."

"Something's not right?" Professor Liu frowned. "How so?"

Amu lowered his voice: "There are strange noises in the mountains, and at night you can see green flames drifting around."

"The village elders say that something in the grave has woken up."

"Brother Amu, could you elaborate?" Chu Sheng asked.

Amu glanced at Chu Sheng, seemingly surprised by the young man's composure.

"The night before last, I came back from the mountains late, and I was halfway up the mountain."

"I saw several small green flames, about the size of a fist, floating around in the woods ahead."

"I shouted, and the fire vanished in a flash."

"Oh, right, there was also sound," Amu added, raising his hand.

"It sounded like someone was crying, and it sounded like someone was laughing, intermittently, which gave me the creeps."

Professor Liu and Dai Ran exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious.

Chu Sheng couldn't quite make heads or tails of it either, and cautiously replied:

"Will-o'-the-wisps are impossible in thick fog; it must be something else."

"Perhaps...we should wait for the fog to clear up!"

Amu breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that a hothead like Chu Sheng would risk everything to go up the mountain just to save face.

Immediately, he chimed in, "Yes, yes, this young man is absolutely right."

"That's right, safety comes first." Professor Liu pondered for a moment.

Professor Liu decided to follow Chu Sheng's advice and wait in the guesthouse in the township first.

……

Late at night, in a room at the guesthouse.

Chu Sheng sat cross-legged on the bed, not in a hurry to fall asleep.

Since breaking through to the Great Heavenly Cycle, his perception of his surroundings has become much more acute.

At this moment, he could feel a faint yin energy emanating from the direction of Sanxiong Mountain in the distance.

"This aura... is definitely not right."

He muttered to himself, then got up and walked to the window.

The dark mountain shadows outside the window did indeed resemble three giant bears embracing each other.

"Could it be that a Chiwen or a Azure Dragon was really suppressed down there?"

shook his head.

He chuckled to himself, confirming that dragons do indeed exist in the Daoist canon.

However, they are all fake, with no evidence of their existence.

Even if there is...

Just then, his phone vibrated. Chu Sheng glanced at it; it was a message from Dai Ran:

"Are you asleep?"

Chu Sheng thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not asleep."

Dai Ran: "What should I do? I'm a little worried about going into the mountains!"

Chu Sheng smiled confidently, "Don't worry, with me here, I guarantee you'll be fine."

After sending it, he felt that his words were somewhat ambiguous and was about to add a sentence.

Dai Ran has already replied: "Then it's up to you, Master Chu~"

It was followed by a playful emoji.

Chu Sheng smiled, and suddenly the countdown in his mind returned to zero.

Another enormous black hole appeared before us.

next moment,

A familiar sense of separation.

But this time is different, perhaps because

Chu Sheng achieved the Great Circulation.

He could clearly perceive the barriers of space and time rippling like water.

He was one of the fish swimming in it.

……

When I opened my eyes, the familiar darkness outside the window was still there.

Chu Sheng sat up on the hard bed and looked around.

Following the familiar scent of incense and candles, I pushed open the door and went outside.

"Oh, you're awake?"

A voice came from the side.

Chu Sheng turned his head and saw that Master Simu was sitting under the eaves, holding a wine gourd in his hand, with a plate of peanuts next to him.

"Uncle-Master, drinking so early in the morning? Are you out of your mind?"

Chu Sheng walked over and sat down opposite Master Simu.

Master Four Eyes rolled his eyes at him, "You brat, you dare to interfere after just one night... wait, something's not right."

At this point, a glint of light flashed in the small eyes behind the four-eyed Taoist priest's glasses:

"Something's not right, you broke through?"

Chu Sheng admired him.

Although Master Four Eyes may seem unreliable, his eyesight is indeed sharp.

He chuckled and said, "It's just the beginning of the Great Circulation."

"Not worth mentioning!"

"Pah, not worth mentioning." Master Four Eyes took a swig of wine.

"Your pure yang energy can be smelled from a great distance."

"If I didn't know you were my third senior brother's disciple, I would have thought you were some kind of monster."

Chu Sheng smiled and changed the subject: "Uncle-Master, where is Uncle-Master Lin?"

"He went to town early this morning with his two apprentices."

"Let's go talk about a losing deal."

Master Simu grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth, his tone full of disdain.

This is because Lin Fengjiao and Mao Xiaofang share the same flaw in his eyes.

They just don't know how to make money!

"Knock knock knock!"

Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking on the courtyard gate.

The knocking was urgent, accompanied by a panicked shout:

"Master Lin! Is Master Four Eyes here? Help!"

Master Four Eyes frowned and gave Chu Sheng a subtle look.

Chu Sheng didn't think much of it.

He rushed to open the door.

A middle-aged man in his forties stood outside the door, covered in sweat and pale-faced.

"Liu the butcher? What's wrong with you?" Master Four Eyes recognized the man as the owner of the pork shop in town.

"Master, my wife is possessed by an evil spirit!"

Liu the butcher was rambling incoherently.

"He was perfectly fine last night, but when he woke up this morning, he was like a completely different person. His eyes were white, he was incredibly strong, and he even bit people!"

"Biting?" Master Four Eyes was taken aback and instinctively looked at his "clients".

They were all there.

He breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying:

"It wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault."

Just then, the door to the side room creaked open, and Yu Chuda came out rubbing his eyes:

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

"What did you say?" Master Four Eyes rolled his eyes. "The sun's already high in the sky before you get up, you lazybones!"

Chu Sheng walked over and told Yu Chuda about Liu the butcher.

Upon hearing this, the latter curled his lip, wondering if there were zombies here too.

Master Four Eyes stroked his small mustache, stood up, and said, "Let's go take a look!"

Chu Sheng and Yu Chuda exchanged a glance, nodded, and called out "Master Itachi".

They left together with Master Simu.

Liu the butcher's house is located at the west end of Renjia Town, and it is a two-courtyard house.

When the three people and the weasel arrived, a number of neighbors had already gathered in the yard, pointing and gossiping.

"Make way! Make way!" Liu the butcher, relying on his strength, shoved the crowd aside.

After walking around for a while, he cursed angrily, "Get the hell out of here, you all!"

"Whoever's spreading rumors, believe it or not, I'll feed you sick pigs from now on!"

have to.

His words were indeed effective.

The neighbors who had been watching the commotion all obediently dispersed.

Chu Sheng and his two companions entered the main room without any hindrance.

There was a woman in her thirties, her hair disheveled, bound tightly to a chair.

It made strange "hoho" sounds and struggled incessantly.

Yu Chuda, quick to speak, recognized at a glance that the woman was infected with the corpse virus and instinctively shouted, "It's over."

Master Four Eyes stepped forward to examine the woman, but found no bite marks on her body. He frowned and asked, "When did this start?"

"Just... just last night," Liu Tu said in a trembling voice, "she was acting a bit strange, if I hadn't reacted quickly..."

"I'm afraid that would be letting down my ancestors!"
