Chapter 1038 Guarantees the Zhou Family's Prosperity for Ten Thousand Years
"I don't know the specifics, but I can show you the ancient books of my Zhou family, which contain the ancestral precepts."
"I think my grandmaster meant that the population of Chenqi Kingdom and Chu Kingdom was too small, so he made this agreement."
After speaking, Zhou Linsi turned around and went to the cabinet behind her, then took out an old-fashioned book.
He turned around and handed it to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen took the book, and a sense of antiquity wafted over him.
Turn to the first page, and you'll see two photos that are pasted on, not drawn on.
Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a photo that some unknown person from back then produced.
One photo is of Xiao Si, and the other is of myself.
There was also a caption below the photo.
"With the protection of the statue of the Heavenly God Chu Chen, the Zhou family's dynasty can be guaranteed for ten thousand years."
Chu Chen chuckled after reading it, thinking to himself that this young lady had indeed placed herself in an important position.
I still remember that after the apocalypse, when I moved Li Qinglian and her group to Mashan Village, she was not among them.
So, we never saw each other again. Who would have thought that this woman had so many thoughts in her mind?
Then Chu Chen turned to the second page.
The inscription on it recorded the origins of her Zhou family: the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Chu Chen wasn't interested and turned to the third page...the fourth page...
But the further Chu Chen went, the more surprised he became.
The records at the back were mostly of the new things he had created back in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Potato cultivation, road construction, steel smelting, and so on...
Upon seeing this, Chu Chen immediately became somewhat unsettled.
This ancient book was clearly made in this world.
But the methods described therein belong to that world.
So he asked, "Have you been able to find any potatoes or similar items here?"
"Senior, there is no need to search. Our master carried a large number of seeds with him back then. Therefore, our Chenqi Kingdom is not only strong in military power, but also has a good agricultural and commercial sector."
Upon hearing Zhou Linsi's words, Chu Chen immediately frowned.
I thought to myself, this looks like it was prepared in advance.
So what exactly did this young lady know? Or did she receive guidance from some master?
How could she have prepared the seeds in advance? Could it be that she knew from the beginning that she was coming to the Xuan Domain?
If that's the case, then it's too bizarre.
The fact that he became the ruler of the realm was something that had almost no connection with the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.
So how did she know she was coming here and prepare in advance?
Where is your grandmaster now?
Chu Chen knew that Xiao Si was no longer there, but he wanted to go and see if he could find any clues.
“Senior, our grandmaster knew that his time was coming to an end, so he went to a place where no one knew about him to go into seclusion.”
Chu Chen was even more puzzled after hearing this: "So that means you don't know where she died, or even if she is dead?"
Zhou Linsi nodded after listening.
Countless thoughts immediately popped into Chu Chen's mind.
Xiao Si didn't die? Or rather, Xiao Si isn't the simple Xiao Si we know?
If that's the case, then her arrival in my Chu Tian Realm wasn't something I accidentally brought here.
Or is it controlled by someone, or is it that Xiao Si was able to travel through time?
A series of questions flooded into Chu Chen's mind at once.
After a long time, he raised his head.
"Alright, do as I say and go collect the amethyst. I will come back to collect it in a year."
Chu Chen had no clue about Xiao Si's situation.
Whether there was a powerful force controlling all of this, he didn't know.
Since that's the case, let's just take it one step at a time.
Over the years, one mystery after another has emerged and then been solved.
He has long been used to it.
At least for now, these things haven't caused me much harm.
He then thought of another question: did the Chu Kingdom, on the Lan family's side, also have ancestral precepts and ancient books?
Since they agreed not to fight for five hundred years, the two families must have had negotiations when they first came into this world a hundred years ago.
"Senior, are you leaving?"
"Hehe, I have my own things to do. Just remember what I said. Also, there is a huge crisis in Chenqi Kingdom. You should be prepared."
After saying that, Chu Chen disappeared from the spot.
He felt uneasy at the moment. Although he was thinking of taking it one step at a time, all sorts of doubts made him eager to find out the truth.
Although he was the ruler of the Chu Tian Realm and could go anywhere at will, he was still a powerful figure.
It can also freely detect people's whereabouts.
However, who would bother to check that? And no matter how skilled you are, there's one thing you can't possibly probe: the human heart.
Moreover, if Xiao Si and the Zhou and Lan families' appearances were pre-arranged, how could they have been detected by him?
Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickened his pace and soon arrived at the inn.
"Young master, are you finished with your work?"
When Qiu Yu saw Chu Chen return, she immediately went to greet him.
"That's right, I'm back, but I have to leave again, so I came back to ask you if you'd like to come with me."
That's right, Chu Chen wants to go to the State of Chu.
Chu Chen didn't want to let Qiu Yu, or the Dao Tian Sect behind her, go.
Since the appearance of the Fourth Sister is a mystery, it's hard to say whether the appearance of these dog-headed men and martial artists was premeditated a hundred years ago.
"Qiuyu is willing to stay by your side and serve you."
"Alright, since that's the case, let's get some sleep. Tomorrow, we'll set off immediately for the State of Chu."
Chu Chen's idea was simple: put the matter of the kobolds aside for now, go to the Chu Kingdom, find the Lan family, and then make further plans.
"Go to the State of Chu?"
"That's right, I'm going to look for something!"
"Alright, young master, you must be tired. Qiuyu will help you rest!"
A day later, the carriage was traveling on the road to the State of Chu.
The State of Chenqi and the State of Chu were governed by a river, separated by a wide river that required a ferry.
Ten days later, the two arrived at the ferry terminal.
Chu Chen stepped off the carriage and headed straight for the large ship with Qiu Yu.
Since carriages cannot be boarded on ships, they can only remain at the dock. After paying some silver, they are left at a merchant's house.
After paying the boarding fee, the two were put in a single room.
"Gentlemen, our ship will be sailing for three days. We have wine, meat, and service on board. If you need anything, just call me!"
As they were top-tier clients, they had a dedicated servant to attend to them.
Seeing the servant's smiling face, Chu Chen asked in confusion.
"Heh, it takes three days to get to the other side?"
"Sir, you may not know this, but we are a ship from the State of Chu. Because there are hidden reefs on the riverbed, we need to go around them."
At this moment, Qiu Yu also tugged at Chu Chen.
“Young master, this is not as simple as just crossing to the other side.”
