Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

"Heng'er told me that you have many magical objects here. Why won't you show them to your uncle?"

Zhou Shixun glanced at the villa and said to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen was happy to do so, so he led Zhou Shixun and his group around the villa.

"I never would have guessed that you could actually borrow the sun's energy. Is this some kind of magic?"

Seeing the LED light that emitted a dazzling light with the touch of a button, Zhou Shixun exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha, actually, we live in this world by borrowing energy from the sun, don't we?"

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Chu Chen smiled and led the group outside, pointing to the trees in the mountains.

"Without the sun, these trees and crops cannot grow and survive."

"Without the sun, humankind cannot see the light."

"Without the sun, the whole world would cease to exist."

Hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Zhou Shixun and his group became even more puzzled.

"I've only ever heard that the sun can kill plants. Plants rely on soil and water, so what does that have to do with the scorching sun?"

Oh no, here comes another one who's curious about everything.

The key issue is that it's hard to explain, which has stumped Chu Chen, this half-baked expert.

After thinking for a while, he then spoke to Zhou Shixun.

"Uncle Zhou, do you ever feel that when you enter the mountains, even the air tastes sweeter, but when you enter Qingyun City, it's hard to breathe?"

Zhou Shixun and the others thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Plants give people a sense of natural freshness; otherwise, why would I build a royal garden?

"Please enlighten me, Young Master Chu."

At this moment, Zhou Shixun looked at the boy in front of him with longing, just like a primary school student.

"Well, it's actually quite simple. It's because trees can only breathe when they're in the sun."

"And their breathing is the opposite of ours; they inhale stale air and exhale fresh, clean air."

In this Great Xia Dynasty, who knows about photosynthesis, oxygen, or anything like that?

So Chu Chen offered a half-scientific, half-mystical explanation.

"That's it, that's it."

"Haha, no wonder Young Master Chu is so wealthy, yet he is still willing to return to this peaceful Mashan Village."

After saying that, Zhou Shixun gave Chu Chen an approving look and kicked Zhou Heng in the butt.

Zhou Heng turned around and looked at Zhou Shixun in confusion: "Father, why did you kick me?"

"Why did I kick you? You're such a good teacher, and you're going back to Kyoto for the New Year. I'm so disappointed in you."

Zhou Heng: I didn't want to go back either, but you sent me back with an imperial decree.

At this moment, Zhou Shixun truly felt an urge to marry off his daughter.

Whether it was everything I saw inside the villa just now, or the principles Chu Chen just spoke about.

The old man was shrewd and could tell at a glance that Chu Chen was no ordinary person. He thought that if his son studied under him for a few years...

So when he passes away at the age of 100, the Great Xia Dynasty will still be the domain of his Zhou family.

Then he turned to Chu Chen and said, "I think my son is about the same age as you. Why don't you two become sworn brothers? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Damn it, the father and son think the same way. But with this big tree around, as long as the Great Xia doesn't fall...

Then I will no longer have to worry about the authorities making things difficult for me.

So he nodded and said, "Brother Zhou had this idea before the New Year, but I was so busy with trivial matters that I forgot about it."

"As long as Brother Zhou is willing, I have no objection."

"Very well, since that's the case, let's seize the day and invite you to the main hall to witness this with me."

After Zhou Shixun finished speaking, he asked Chu Chen to call his parents over to perform the sworn brotherhood ceremony.

"Uncle Zhou, I have no parents, this puts me in a difficult position."

With both parents dead, that's great! As long as I treat him well, he can't escape my grasp.

So he quickly replied, "No problem, collateral relatives or elders are fine too."

Looking at Zhou Shixun's eagerness, Chu Chen felt deeply betrayed.

However, he knew what Zhou Shixun was after; he just wanted to learn these amazing things from him.

But wasn't he also after his power?

So they quickly called someone to invite Chu Dazhuang over.

“Uncle Zhou, this is my second uncle, the person in this world who is closest to me by blood.”

Before Chu Dazhuang could understand what was going on, he was pulled over.

But after exchanging a glance with Zhou Shixun, he suddenly felt an urge to kneel down.

This person has such a powerful aura; it must be cultivated from being in a high position for a long time.

When they heard that it was Chuwazi who wanted to become sworn brothers with this Young Master Zhou.

His tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed.

He knew Zhou Heng well; he was not only the workshop's sole customer, but judging from the entourage around him, this man must be extremely wealthy and powerful.

With this opportunity, the Chu family is poised for great success.

So he quickly nodded and agreed.

A short while later, inside the main room of the villa.

Chu Dazhuang and Zhou Shixun sat in the superior positions, witnessing the sworn brotherhood ceremony between Chu Chen and Zhou Heng.

Zhou Shicai secretly nudged the pale-faced, beardless man and whispered, "Eunuch Wei, we've witnessed a joyous occasion."

"Congratulations, Your Highness. This man is protected by a ninth-rank expert and is so extraordinary. Your Majesty's decision will surely ensure that the Zhou family's empire will last forever."

This compliment made Zhou Shicai feel extremely comfortable.

After the ceremony, Zhou Heng stood up and said to Chu Chen, "Second brother, we have become sworn brothers. From now on, I hope you will give me your guidance."

Second brother, you're the second brother, your whole family are second brothers.

Chu Chen was both amused and exasperated by this address, so he quickly replied.

"Brother, this second brother is too formal. From now on, just call me by my name, Chu Chen or Chu Wa Zi. It's more intimate that way."

Zhou Heng had no idea what Chu Chen was thinking, but after thinking about it, he also felt that it made sense.

So he quickly said, "Second brother is right. From now on, I will call you Chuwazi."

"Haha, Chuwazi, this name is affectionate, from now on everyone will call him Chuwazi."

Zhou Shixun spoke loudly to Zhou Shicai and the others.

Unexpectedly, a cold voice rang out: "Chu boy, this idiot..."

The one who spoke was Chen Qingxuan, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines. He gave Chu Chen a disdainful look.

"Fuck you, you drunkard!" Chu Chen blurted out at Chen Qingxuan.

"Enough, enough, Chu boy, you mustn't speak rudely to the Taoist priest."

Seeing Chu Chen cursing at Chen Qingxuan, Zhou Shixun quickly spoke up.

"You two know each other?" Now it was Chu Chen's turn to be surprised.

"Haha, Master Chen's reputation is widespread. There are many people in the martial arts world who do not know him. Chu boy, you must treat Master Chen well."

"Master Chen, please give my regards to your master. I, Zhou Shixun, will definitely pay you a visit when I have time."

Chen Qingxuan didn't say anything, but clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhou Shixun and then appeared on the rooftop in a flash.

Chu Chen then turned to look at everyone, realizing that he was the fool in the end.

But I was also incredibly happy; I'd really struck gold!

A talent praised even by the royal family must be a master.
