Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Only Three Thousand Years

"Get up."

Chen Zheng raised his right hand slightly, and Jiang Boyue, who was kneeling on the ground, felt like he was lifted up by a stream of air.

"Thank you, Grandmaster!"

Jiang Boyue bowed to Chen Zheng again with great respect.

At this moment, everyone in the Jiang family hall stared with their eyes wide open. They hadn't come back to their senses yet, because this scene was too weird! I believe that outsiders would also find it weird when seeing this scene!

An old man actually showed respect to a young man and called him "Grandmaster". Could this be a time-travel TV series? Did a TV crew rent the Jiang family villa and invite the old man to film a TV series?

"You look 70% like Jiang Ziya."

Chen Zheng looked at Jiang Boyao and smiled kindly.

"This...thank you for the praise, Grandmaster!"

Jiang Boyue was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, so he could only bow to Chen Zheng again.

"Jiang Ziya..."

When Jiang Fang heard the name, he suddenly remembered a family secret. At this moment, he suddenly realized why his father called Chen Zheng the ancestor!

The young man that his daughter brought back was the young man in the scroll of the ancient jade passed down from the ancestors of the Jiang family!

But this...this is also weird!

Jiang Ziya, the ancestor of the Jiang family, was a figure from the late Shang Dynasty, from the era of King Zhou, Daji and Ji Fa. That was more than a thousand years BC, which means it must have been at least three thousand years ago!

No matter how high this person's martial arts skills are, it is impossible for him to live for three thousand years!

"Grandpa, let's go to the study and talk."

At this time Jiang Rou said something.

She was a little excited now, but when she looked at the other people in the hall, everyone looked like wooden sculptures. She thought it would be better not to scare others anymore. This matter was indeed too bizarre.

"Okay." Old Master Jiang nodded and said, "Grandmaster, please!"

"Um."

Chen Zheng nodded indifferently.

So Jiang Boyue led the way, Jiang Rou took Chen Zheng's arm, and went upstairs to the study under everyone's dull gaze.

"Master... this... this..."

Uncle Qian came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Fang, and spoke hesitantly.

He felt like his brain wasn't enough. Although he came to his senses, he was still a little confused and couldn't understand anything.

"This kid... No! It's the Grandmaster!" Jiang Fang opened his mouth, and immediately realized that the address was wrong, so he immediately changed his words and looked upstairs and said, "The Grandmaster may be the legendary immortal figure. Old Qian, just understand it this way."

In fact, it was difficult for Jiang Fang to understand. He practiced martial arts and was also a master, but he did not believe that immortals really existed. Even the immortals on land that were circulated in the ancient martial arts world, he thought were just ancient martial arts masters of a higher level. They could only live for two or three hundred years. As for living for thousands of years, he thought it was impossible. But his father would never recognize the wrong person. He could not figure out what was going on for a while.

"Then Mr. Tang..."

Uncle Qian looked at Tang Luo and Tang Qisheng who were lying outside the house.

"Send it back to the Tang family."

Jiang Fang shook his head slightly. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go upstairs to the study.

...

A few minutes later.

The study on the second floor of the Jiang family.

At this moment, an extremely mysterious scene appeared in the study. A piece of ancient jade was suspended in the air. Not only was it suspended in the air, it also projected a scroll. On the scroll was a young man in a long gown. The young man had an immortal look and was otherworldly. The young man's face was 90% similar to Chen Zheng's, and the expression was exactly the same, with almost no difference!

"It's exactly the same...."

Jiang Rou opened her mouth slightly, her pretty face full of surprise. Although her grandfather had already confirmed Chen Zheng's identity before, when she compared Chen Zheng with the person in the ancient jade scroll, Jiang Rou couldn't help but exclaimed.

Chen Zheng!

Chen Zhi's brother!

This guy is really the person in the ancient jade scroll left by Jiang family's ancestor Jiang Ziya, which means that Chen Zheng has lived for at least three thousand years!

But...but how did Chen Zheng do it? Because according to Chen Zhi's age, Chen Zheng is at most 20 years old, which doesn't make sense! Could it be that Chen Zheng traveled to ancient times in the past three years and recently traveled back to modern times?

Jiang Rou was confused, but the old man of the Jiang family was looking at Chen Zheng with great excitement. A person who had existed three thousand years ago was standing in front of him alive, and he was the ancestor of the Jiang family. How could he not be excited!

This is simply a myth!

A living myth!

"I gave this jade to Jiang Ziya back then. I didn't expect him to have some tricks up his sleeve and leave behind an image of me. I was indeed an immortal back then. I didn't think anything of it then, but now it's no wonder Daji fell in love with me."

At this time Chen Zheng smiled slightly.

"...Da...Daji fell in love with you?"

Jiang Rou rolled her eyes at Chen Zheng subconsciously, and was surprised and couldn't help sighing that this guy was too narcissistic. But it seemed that what this guy said was not wrong. Chen Zheng in the ancient jade scroll was indeed a fairy. Just one look at him made her feel comfortable, and the more she looked at him, the more she didn't want to move her eyes away. She couldn't help but fall in love with this guy.

"Well... the Grandmaster is a celestial being with extraordinary demeanor. It is normal for Daji to fall in love with the Grandmaster."

Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

"Then... Grandmaster and Rourou are not really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, right?"

Jiang Fang thought about it for a while and couldn't help but ask.

Chen Zheng smiled mysteriously, did not answer, but looked at Jiang Rou.

"..." Jiang Rou was also stunned for a moment, but the next moment she took a step forward and hugged Chen Zheng's arm, grinning and saying: "I don't care if Chen Zheng is the founder or not, anyway, Chen Zheng will be my boyfriend from now on!"

"..."

Old Master Jiang and Jiang Fang looked at each other. Although they both felt that the order of seniority was a bit messed up, they couldn't seem to say anything. If the Grand Master really liked Rourou, then it would be fine. But what if the Grand Master didn't like Rourou...

But the atmosphere in the study is indeed a bit awkward now!

"There is a secret method hidden in this ancient jade. You have been in the Grandmaster realm for more than 20 years, but you have not been able to break through. It seems that you don't know the secret method hidden in the ancient jade. Today I met the descendants of Zi Ya, and you also call me the ancestor. I will help you to solve the secret method in this ancient jade." At this time, Chen Zheng casually pointed at the ancient jade, and the ancient jade scroll disappeared. Then a mysterious light flew out and flew into the center of Mr. Jiang's eyebrows. Chen Zheng said again: "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me. I will stay in the Jiang family for a few days."

"Jiang Boyue thanks the Grandmaster!"

Old Master Jiang's body trembled, his face showed an extremely excited expression, and he bowed deeply to Chen Zheng again.

Chen Zheng nodded lightly and took Jiang Rou out of the study.

Only Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Fang were left in the study. Jiang Fang looked at Grandpa Jiang with a puzzled look and asked, "Dad, what was that mysterious light just now..."

Old Master Jiang took a deep breath, tears welled up in his eyes at this moment: "I have been stuck in the Grandmaster realm for more than 20 years. Outsiders don't know that I may never break through in this life, and in three years at most, my body will be exhausted and my life will come to an end. Grandmaster saw through my physical condition at a glance. The mysterious light just now was an ancient secret method. This ancient secret method should be the secret method that Grandmaster passed on to our Jiang family ancestor Jiang Ziya. And this secret method is not martial arts, this secret method is immortal! I have now understood more than half of it, and I can break through in half a year at most! It means that Grandmaster just helped me solve the life limit! Grandmaster, you are really unfathomable, and we can't guess!"

"Is this... so powerful?"

Jiang Fang was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"You don't understand." Old Master Jiang shook his head gently and sighed again: "This method is a great method for you and me, and for the ancient Chinese martial arts world, but in the eyes of the founder, it is just a casual move of his fingers."

"..."

Jiang Fang opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.

...

Jiang Rou's bedroom.

"Chen Zheng, should I call you Chen Zhenghao or Grandmaster from now on? Don't you think Grandmaster is more romantic? It gives you a very strange feeling!"

Jiang Rou stared at Chen Zheng straight, her whole body almost sticking to Chen Zheng. She felt like she was playing with fire, but it was this feeling that made her feel exciting enough.

"Whatever, you can call me whatever you want, even husband."

Chen Zheng smiled.

"You are so shameless!" Jiang Rou stepped back and distanced herself from Chen Zheng. She looked at Chen Zheng and thought for a while before asking, "Grandmaster, have you really lived for three thousand years? And did that Daji really fall in love with you? Did you have a special relationship with Daji?"

Chen Zheng smiled faintly after hearing this. He looked at the white clouds outside the window and recalled some of the things he had experienced. A light voice came to his mind: "Three thousand years is just a blink of an eye. Sometimes it's not even enough time for a good night's sleep."
