I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 186: Ancestors Appear (Subscription Request)

The Chen Family Ancestral Hall is located in a very remote area, in the northern corner of the backyard, hidden behind the wing where the old lady lives.

But its door is facing the main gate of Chen Mansion and is located on the central axis.

At the same time, the area of ​​the ancestral hall is not small, almost the same as the Fanghua Garden where Chen Yi lived when he was a child.

In addition to the lobby where the tablets of the Chen family's ancestors are placed, there are two exhibition rooms on the left and right sides, which display the relics of the Chen family's ancestors.

There are spoils of war captured on the battlefield, rewards from successive Wei emperors, and more are weapons and equipment used by successive generations of military marquises.

This was the first time Chen Yi entered the Chen Ancestral Hall.

Even though he knew the location of the ancestral hall when he was a child, he never had the opportunity to come there.

To be precise, he was not qualified to enter the ancestral hall at that time.

Except for a group of elders, the current head of the family, and the main line of the Chen family, no one else is qualified to enter the ancestral hall.

Among Chen Yi's generation, according to the theory of blood inheritance, only one person can enter the ancestral hall - the eldest son and grandson Chen Yuan.

Now he was brought to the ancestral hall by the old lady.

Moreover, Old Madam Chen seemed to want him to know more, so she did not take him directly to the ancestral tablets. Instead, she took him and Chen Taihang to start from the exhibition room.

Old Madam Chen stroked a rusty iron gun placed in the center of the showroom, wrinkles appeared on her old face, and she said slowly:

"My Chen family rose in the dark ages. We followed the late emperor in his campaigns, defeating the Demon Court and Southern Xinjiang, and then conquering the islands in the east. Only then did we establish the great foundation of the Wei Dynasty."

"At that time, the Wei Dynasty was just established and everything was in ruins. However, our ancestor overcame all kinds of difficulties and followed the then King of Zhenbei to lead the army to build what is now Beixiong Pass."

"The descendants of the Chen family stayed in Kyoto Prefecture and built this house, just to give their ancestors' souls a place to rest."

Chen Yi didn't know why she was talking about this, so he and his second uncle Chen Taihang could only support the old lady and listen to her quietly.

Most of the weapons here are not magical weapons, but ordinary weapons like the Chunyu Sword hanging on his waist.

But the difference is that every weapon here carries a strong smell of blood, and there is also a faint dark aura - the aura of demons.

The blood on it has not dissipated even after hundreds or thousands of years, which is enough to show the cruelty of the Chen family's ancestors when they fought on the battlefield.

In fact, compared to Chen Yi who had a calm expression, Chen Taihang next to him had a very excited look on his face at this moment.

It was as if he was standing here, listening to his grandmother telling the stories of their ancestors, and he could feel the glory of it personally.

"The spear in grandma's hand is the magic weapon used by our ancestor Chen Hua. It accompanied him in battles for decades until our ancestor died outside Beixiong Pass. Only then did this spear return here."

"And this big sword, it was used by the second generation Wu'an Marquis. It is so sharp that it can cut through hair. It once killed one of the thirty-six generals of the Demon Court."

"..."

The old lady described every item in the showroom one by one, knowing everything from their origins to the stories behind them.

But the more he listened to her talk, the weirder Chen Yi felt.

He felt more and more that the old lady had a special purpose in bringing him to the ancestral hall this time.

Successor to Marquis Wu'an?
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Yi couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Even if he is to take over the position of Marquis Wu'an, it should not be now. At least he should wait until Chen Taiping is present.

Until the three of them entered the ancestral hall, Chen Yi still didn't understand the old lady's intention.

Arriving here, the old lady seemed to have regained her strength and signaled the two men to let go.

Then she lit three long incense sticks and bowed several times, then inserted them into the incense burner on the altar. She said to the sixty-five rows of spirit tablets above with a sincere tone:

"Ancestors, I, along with Yi, the 66th generation son of the Chen family, have come to pay my respects to you."

Chen Yi realized it later and followed Chen Taihang's example, kneeling on the cushion and looking at the spirit tablet.

Soon.

He saw the fragrant mist dissipate and then condense in front of the spirit tablet at the top, slowly condensing into a dim shadow.

A young man in armor appeared, sitting in mid-air.

His face looked very young, but his brows showed a great deal of vicissitudes, as if he had experienced all kinds of things in the world and had long since become indifferent to everything.

At the end of the chair is the memorial tablet at the top - the ancestor Chen Hua.

He looked at Chen Yi, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Yier? I have an impression of you."

"The boy who dared to cause chaos during the Zhuazhou ceremony, in the past thousand years, only Zun'er can compare with him."

Chen Yi: “…”

It seems that the only impression these ancestors had of him was the Zhuazhou ceremony.

Before Chen Yi and the old lady could salute, they saw the fragrant mist split into two, and another illusory figure emerged.

The hair and beard formed by the gray fog made his face look a little old. He was wearing a long gown, looking like an old scholar.

As soon as he appeared, he said to the old ancestor Chen Hua: "Grandpa, do you still remember it?"

"Haha, my dear grandson, it's your honor that grandpa can remember you!"

"There are younger generations watching over us, please give your grandson some face." The old scholar named Chen Zun looked helpless.

"Why keep it? The life stories of the people here are all recorded in Chen's Book. Why are you afraid of others knowing it?"

"..."

Chen Yi looked at the grandfather and grandson with a strange expression. He couldn't help feeling a sense of disobedience. He vaguely understood that their appearance should be what they looked like before they died.

After the grandfather and grandson finished talking, the old lady said, "I came here today just to tell our ancestors the good news."

Chen Hua looked at Chen Yi and said, "But him?"

"That's right!" Old Madam Chen smiled and said:

"Yier alone killed hundreds of thousands of barbarians outside Zhennan Pass, and killed Futu, one of the thirty-six generals of the Demon Court!"

"Oh?"

"what?"

The former were surprised by the two ancestors, and the latter was Chen Yi.

He didn't expect that the old lady asked him to come to the ancestral hall to tell the ancestors about his military achievements.

This, this, this... this is really just a message to the ancestors!

"One person killed hundreds of thousands..." Chen Zun looked at Chen Yi, whose face was still a little childish, and asked:

"If I remember correctly, Yi'er is seventeen this year?"

"Grandpa is right," Old Madam Chen smiled brightly on her old face and praised:
"Yier has been gifted since childhood. Not only did he join the Taixu Dao Sect, but now he has achieved such amazing success that he was named Earl of Yingwu by the current emperor."

"I want to tell all of my ancestors about this news, and pray that they will protect him and keep him safe in the future."

After hearing these words, Chen Yi felt very uncomfortable, not knowing what these deceased ancestors would think.

Facts are facts, but telling such things to his ancestors always makes him feel ashamed.

This is like going back to your elders to ask for benefits after winning a battle.

If he had known this would happen, he should have rejected the old lady's kindness.

At this time, Chen Hua also looked at him with a very strange look. His eyes were like fog but not fog, dim and lifeless, but they conveyed the word "monster" very clearly.

half an hour.

Chen Hua let out a sigh as if in admiration, and a fragrant mist wafted out.

"Everyone come out and take a look at this generation's Qilin son of my Chen family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire ancestral hall was filled with fragrant mist, and one figure after another appeared in the air.

However, compared with the two ancestors Chen Hua and Chen Zun, the figures of the people who came out later became more and more illusory, and some could only see some outlines.

But without exception, the first thing these ancestors did after they appeared was to praise Chen Yi. "The record is truly amazing!"

"I also encountered the demon court heading south, and it was amazing to kill tens of thousands of demons in one battle. I didn't expect that there would be someone among the younger generation who could kill hundreds of thousands of barbarians..."

"It's a pity that they are barbarians, not demons... If Yi'er has a chance, remember to fight your way out of Beixiong Pass and slaughter the demons!"

"Old man, please don't teach blindly. Even our ancestors didn't dare to set foot in the Hundred Thousand Mountains easily. Wouldn't it be harmful to Yi'er if you let him go?"

"..."

Now there was only a smile left on Chen Yi's face, a stiff smile.

He didn't dare to speak, for he was afraid that opening his mouth would disturb his ancestors.

The old lady next to her interrupted the ancestors and said with a smile: "Ancestors, please bless Yi'er."

"It's natural."

As he spoke, Chen Hua waved his hand, and the wisps of fragrant mist were retracted. The dissipated souls of several ancestors condensed into a circle of smoke and dust and scattered over Chen Yi's head.

Well?
Chen Yi felt it carefully, but found nothing unusual.

The only change he felt was that his eyes could see more clearly and his ears could hear farther.

"With such descendants, I can finally put my mind at ease." Chen Hua said with a smile.

The rest of the heroic spirits of our ancestors also laughed, all with a look of satisfaction on their faces.

At this time, the old lady's expression changed, and she said more seriously than before:
"There is one more thing I want to ask!"

"Oh?"

Chen Hua waved his hand to let the others disperse, and the smoke from the empty space condensed above the spirit tablet in the center of the 64th row.

"Little Sixty-Three, your wife is looking for you."

The thin-faced middle-aged soldier who emerged was Chen Yi's great-grandfather Chen Zhiwang.

He looked around and said, "Thank you, ancestors."

Then, he looked at the old lady below and said with a sigh, "Thank you for your hard work."

The old lady's eyes were a little cloudy, as if there was a layer of mist.

But she didn't show it, she just shook her head and said, "Husband, I only asked you to come out to ask one thing."

"Why did you make a marriage contract with Zhou Tiance during the battle of Beixiong Pass?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi was stunned.

He didn't expect that the old lady would ask about the battle at Beixiong Pass.

But this was exactly what he wanted, as he also wanted to find out what happened in the battle.

Originally, he planned to find Zhou Tiance to ask about old events, but now he has saved this step.

"Engagement...something happened?" Chen Zhiwang looked at her with a frown.

"Something happened? Ha," the old lady sneered, "It's your good deed. Zhou Tiance took advantage of the fact that my Chen family has no one and did shameful things again and again!"

"Did you know that he has tried to murder Yi'er many times, and even sent assassins to kill his own grandson?"

Chen Yi's eyes widened slightly and he looked at the old lady in surprise.

This time it was really a surprise.

I thought that the Chen family didn't know much about what Zhou Tiance did, but I didn't expect that they even knew about the assassination.

and many more.

Dead warriors... The old lady wasn't talking about "Hidden Dragon", so she wasn't referring to the incident with Sun Zhengqiu...

In other words, when he didn't know, Zhou Tiance had sent assassins to sneak into the marquis' mansion and assassinate him?

Grandson...Chen Fan? !

Chen Zhiwang raised his eyebrows, as if he was angry, and the fragrant mist all over his body twisted and swirled.

"Speak slowly and tell me what happened in detail!"

Afterwards, the old lady told the Chen family about all the things, big and small, that Zhou Tiance had done behind the scenes that she had found out about.

"Husband, how could you be so confused?"

"That old bastard Zhou Tiance actually wanted to get his hands on my thousand-year-old Chen family!"

"He dares!?" Chen Zhiwang was furious and wanted to find Zhou Tiance and fight him to the death right now.

"No wonder he came to me to talk about the engagement when the war was about to end. It turns out he was planning to take over my place!"

At this point, Chen Yi also understood Zhou Tiance's plan and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He also didn't expect that the reason Zhou Tiance repeatedly plotted against him was because of this.

However, what my grandfather said about "the cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest" is not quite accurate. After all, Chen Yuan also has the blood of the Chen family.

But if the Chen family's fate is as tragic as the Zhou family, and Chen Yuan is completely controlled by Zhou Tiance, then his plan may really succeed.

By that time, the Chen family will be defeated and only the Zhou family will be left in the world.

In this way, it is the Chen family whose inheritance will be cut off, and the Zhou family will rise again with the help of Chen Yuan.

"I see!"

At this moment, Chen Yi completely understood the reason why he saw the miserable life on the light screen.

——His foundation building assessment was ruined, he was kicked out of the house, and Xia Wanwan died...

This is the root of all this!
But what Chen Yi still didn’t understand was why the Chen Yuan described on the screen was so different from the current one.

After much thought, he could only attribute it to his action that changed everything.

At this time, the ancestor Chen Hua, who was at the top, was also extremely furious.

"I didn't expect such a scum would appear in the Jingye Marquis' lineage. This Marquis is ashamed to be associated with Zhou Ting!!"

a long time.

The old lady said with tears in her eyes: "My husband, you died on the battlefield without regrets, but you have brought trouble to future generations!"

Chen Zhiwang showed a hint of embarrassment in his angry expression. He quickly tried to comfort her and finally said:
"Since our family already knows his plan, we will definitely not allow him to achieve it."

"Besides, Yi'er is here. With his current cultivation level, he is capable of handling everything."

"But Yi'er, you still have to pay attention to the schemes of old Zhou. Be careful that he may use the emperor and the court to do things."

Chen Yi nodded, thought for a moment, and asked:
"Grandpa, I want to know what happened in that battle. Can you tell me?"

"What do you want to know?"

"How did Zhou Guanwu die? Was he killed by the demon court or did he die in the 'civil-military dispute' in the court?"

"You even know this?" Chen Zhiwang was a little surprised.

"Just speak the truth when I ask you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Chen Hua kicked him in the face and cursed, "Don't you think the mess you've caused is not big enough?"

Chen Zhiwang was kicked so hard that he rolled over several times. His old face turned red with anger.

"Don't blame me, ancestor. Don't be angry."

As he spoke, he began to recount the battle at Beixiong Pass thirty-eight years ago.

"What Yi'er said is both right and wrong."

"The Demon Emperor Fengyue had just ascended the throne, and the ministers of the court had long noticed that he was leading a large army of demons to the south to seize the pass..."
