Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

Chu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I suppose so, a rudimentary method of manipulating gravity."

"Gravity?" Duanmu Ying's eyes lit up even more. "Like Newton's? Universal gravitation?"

"Hehe, you even know about Newton?" Chu Sheng smiled.

"Can I learn it?" Duanmu Ying asked, her eyes shining with anticipation.

Chu Sheng looked at Duanmu Ying, who was looking very serious, and suddenly made a joke:

"My father told me that this magic could only be passed on to his daughter-in-law."

"Pah, I don't believe it!" Duanmu Ying's cheeks flushed red, and she glared at Chu Sheng, turning the tables on him:

"If I learn it, wouldn't I be becoming your father's daughter-in-law?"

"This..." Chu Sheng hadn't expected Duanmu Ying to be so bold, which made his heart race. Suddenly, a piece of information flashed through his mind:

"Dr. Duanmu, you...you're not going to the engagement?"

Duanmu Ying was taken aback, and said unhappily, "When did I get engaged?"

She exclaimed "Ah!" again, "My father did write to me, asking me to go back and get engaged."

"I haven't had time to go back yet."

Chu Sheng suddenly realized, and for some reason felt a sense of relief. He mustered his courage and asked:

"So you're really going to learn it?"

"My dad only has one son, me."

"Pfft..." Duanmu Ying laughed: "What's wrong, you little Taoist priest, getting craving a wife?"

"Yes!" Chu Sheng readily admitted.

Duanmu Ying is beautiful, confident, and cute... she's his type.

Duanmu Ying didn't expect Chu Sheng to be so direct.

This left her momentarily at a loss for words, and her cheeks flushed even more brightly.

Clang clang...

Just as Duanmu Ying was at a loss, there was a knock on the door.

The two lovesick men and women looked towards the doorway at the same time.

Then I saw Yu Chuda, who was covered in bandages.

Staring at the two of them with wide, curious eyes:

"Um...did I come at the wrong time?"

"Hmph!" Duanmu Ying snorted lightly, then returned to her intellectual demeanor, reminding Chu Sheng:

"You need to take good care of yourself these next few days. I'll come back to check on you again later!"

After saying that, he ignored Yu Chuda and left the room.

……

After Duanmu Ying left.

Yu Chuda sat quietly in front of Chu Sheng's bed.

The two brothers stared at each other, neither of them speaking first.

"Master..." Chu Sheng couldn't bear the torturous atmosphere any longer and was about to break the silence when Yu Chuda said:

"sorry!"

"Huh?" Chu Sheng was taken aback. "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Yu Chuda shrugged and said, "I overestimated myself and almost got you killed too."

Chu Sheng laughed and said, "Exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path is the responsibility of us cultivators. How can you blame your senior brother when we encounter a powerful enemy?"

Yu Chuda shook his head and said seriously:

"Junior brother, I may be a little slow at times, but I'm not really stupid."

"You went in not out of a sense of responsibility, but for my sake!"

After a night of reflection, he realized clearly that he shouldn't have rushed into the old building at all.

Listen to Chu Sheng, setting fire is the simplest way.

"Senior brother, although you are young, you look old."

Chu Sheng, feeling helpless, switched to lecturing mode, and said in a serious tone:

"We shouldn't wallow in self-pity over what has already happened."

"Instead, we should find ways to become stronger."

This wasn't just a perfunctory remark; it was what he truly thought.

The more tasks he took on, the more he realized that the world was not simple.

With only these limited skills of his own.

It's only good for dealing with wandering ghosts.

They are no match for the Nine Chrysanthemums faction or the Kagura clan.

So he made a decision.

Once he gets back, he will use whatever means necessary to activate his Lesser Pure Yang Body.

"Junior brother!" Yu Chuda's eyes burned with boundless fighting spirit.

"You're absolutely right."

"But there is one point that I cannot agree with."

Chu Sheng said, "Please speak, Senior Brother!"

Yu Chuda pouted and turned his head, saying, "Could you please not call me old next time!"

puff-

Chu Sheng couldn't help but laugh, "Haha," his whole body aching.

Yu Chuda laughed so hard he wanted to disappear into the ground.

The next few days.

With Duanmu Ying taking care of him closely, Chu Sheng recovered very quickly.

After performing a ritual for the girls' school with Yu Chuda.

With only four days left to complete the mission, Chu Sheng dared not delay any longer.

He explained his reasons for leaving to General Zhang, and at his enthusiastic request, accepted six small yellow croakers.

"Take care, both of you," General Zhang said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Take care, General," Chu Sheng replied.

Standing behind General Zhang, Duanmu Ying waved to Chu Sheng, her lips moving as if to say something without speaking:

"Remember to come find me."

"Wait for me!" Chu Sheng smiled and nodded, then turned and got into the military vehicle.

As the military vehicle slowly drove away from the general's residence, Yu Chuda leaned over and winked at him.

"Junior brother, that Miss Duanmu seems to have a thing for you."

"Don't talk nonsense." Chu Sheng rolled his eyes at him.

"I'm not making this up," Yu Chuda chuckled.

"But junior brother, it's perfectly acceptable for us cultivators to marry and have children."

"Didn't Master almost... back then too..."

"What's missing?" Chu Sheng asked curiously.

"Uh...it's nothing." Yu Chuda quickly shut up and changed the subject.

"By the way, junior brother, can't you teach your brother that ability to make your hand fall from the sky?"

Chu Sheng was both amused and exasperated: "Once I've mastered it, I'll definitely teach you."

"It's a deal!"

……

Three days later, at dusk.

Chu Sheng and Yu Chuda stood at the entrance of a small town, where three powerful characters were engraved on a blue stone archway: Renjia Town.

This place should be considered a major transportation route, and it is very lively.

The streets, paved with bluestone slabs, are lined with shops, including teahouses, restaurants, cloth shops, and pharmacies.

Peddlers carrying loads, farmers going to the market, and children playing together create a vivid picture of everyday life in the city.

"Finally arrived." Yu Chuda breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his lower back. "This car ride was more tiring than walking."

"This town..."

Chu Sheng used his discerning eye and saw a faint, warm, and mellow aura enveloping the town. "The feng shui is quite interesting."

"It must be the work of my martial uncle," Yu Chuda affirmed. "Master said that Martial Uncle Lin's geomancy skills surpassed those of all his fellow disciples."

The two of them, along with Wang, the adjutant, found a noodle shop and grabbed a quick bite, also managing to find out Lin Fengjiao's address.

"A mortuary?" Yu Chuda said with a bitter face, "How could my uncle have such a hobby, opening a branch in a mortuary?"

"Hehe, let's go take a look." Chu Sheng already knew that his Ninth Uncle's mortuary was no ordinary place.

That was a two-story building.

It can comfortably accommodate seven or eight people.

The mortuary was located in a relatively quiet area, nestled beside a bamboo grove.

It is a small courtyard with blue bricks and gray tiles.

A wooden plaque hangs above the door, bearing the words "Charity Estate".

The courtyard gate was ajar, and Yu Chuda, seeing this, peeked inside.

"Disciple Yu Chuda has come to pay respects to his master, Uncle-Master, on the orders of his esteemed master, Mao Xiaofang."

"We humbly request that you, Martial Uncle, appear before us!"
