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

Chapter 215 Kneeling outside Chen's house! (asking for monthly tickets)

The leader of the Baishen Sect is actually the former Jingye Marquis Zhou Guanwu, who is also the grandson of the old marquis Zhou Tiance and Chen Yuan’s uncle!
Chen Yi thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure out the intention of the Baishen Sect to target the Buddhist genius.

What is particularly puzzling is that as the leader of the Baishen Sect, why didn’t the Demon Court know about the things that Zhou Guanwu had arranged?
"Could it be that this was planned by Zhou Guanwu himself, or was it entrusted by someone outside the Demon Court?"

Chen Yi didn't know.

He only vaguely realized that this matter might be related to the recent gathering of many Buddhists in Kyoto Prefecture.

Wen Renying looked at Chen Yi, who had his head slightly lowered and a serious expression on his face. Her eyes were filled with smiles, and sparkled with a hint of pink like water.

The master looks so handsome when he is serious at this moment~ I want to hug him~
"Your Excellency's guess is correct~ The matter arranged by the Sect Master should not have passed through the Northern Demon Court~"

Chen Yi came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows, and her appearance was reflected in his clear eyes. He nodded slightly and said:

"Did you find anything else?"

Wen Renying shook her head and sighed, "My power is low now, and I am unable to serve you with all my strength~"

Chen Yi understood the meaning of her words, and took out a master-level demon blood core from his Sumeru bag and placed it on the table.

Without waiting for Wen Renying to take it, he then took out the shiny black blood core of "Black Impermanence" Liao Wei and asked:

"Want it?"

He held the millstone-sized blood core in his hand, waved it in front of Wenren Ying's eyes, and then suddenly put it back into the Sumeru bag.

Wen Renying's outstretched hand was hovering on the table, but her eyes followed his movements and looked around. She suddenly felt that the grandmaster-level demon blood core on the table had no appeal at all.

She stared at Chen Yi blankly, but what she saw was not his appearance, but the ink-black blood core of the demon king. A drop of saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth unconsciously.

"I want to, I want to, I want to...I want to!"

"..."

When Chen Yi saw her look, he angrily slapped her on the head.

"Come to your senses!"

Wen Renying felt a headache. She covered her head with one hand and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with the other hand. She said aggrievedly:

"My Lord, you are teasing me~"

A blood core of a great demon king in the realm of supernatural powers. If it falls into her hands, her bloodline supernatural powers will be awakened immediately.

Even her cultivation level, supernatural power level, and nine-tailed demon fox bloodline can be further improved.

It can be said that Chen Yi's action just now almost made her lose her mind and she was about to throw herself into his arms~
Chen Yi glared at her and gestured, "These are the rewards for your recent performance."

As he spoke, he took out a small wooden sword and handed it to Wen Renying along with the Grandmaster Level Demon Blood Core on the table.
"But you are still a long way from getting Liao Wei's blood core."

Wen Renying put away the wooden sword and blood core without any joy, staring at Chen Yi without blinking, with a hint of charm on her face:
"My Lord, you can do anything I want."

Chen Yi ignored her delicate appearance, thought for a moment, and said:
"Continue with what I told you to do before. Apart from the Zhao family, you still need to control the other families in case of emergency."

"Good~"

"Also, I need you to investigate something."

"Please give your orders, sir~"

"Let these people investigate the reason why so many Buddhist monks and nuns gathered in Kyoto Prefecture."

Chen Yi paused, and said in a slightly serious tone: "At the same time, I also want you to find out why the God Worshiping Sect is targeting Buddhism!"

Wen Renying accepted it happily. Seeing that he had no more to say, she couldn't help but ask, "Is that all?"

"only these."

Chen Yi nodded and said, "Don't take it lightly. There may be some very hidden people behind this matter."

After all, the man who could gather so many monasteries of the Wei Dynasty in Kyoto Prefecture must have means and skills comparable to the great master of Kyoto Academy and the ancestor of Gushan in Wuliang Mountain.

If we add the people from the Buddhist country in the Western Continent...

I’m afraid there is a big conspiracy behind the unusual movements in Buddhism!
Wenren Ying knew in her heart that the adults were reminding her that this matter was dangerous.

But when Liao Wei's blood core appeared in her mind, she immediately made a decision and said solemnly:

"Don't worry, sir. I will do my best!"

Chen Yi nodded slightly, thought for a moment, handed her a small wooden sword and said:

"If you encounter any danger, please tell me immediately. I will stay in Kyoto Prefecture for the time being."

Wen Renying took it hurriedly, the seriousness on her face turned into charm, and a hint of water flowed in her eyes:
"Sir, how can I repay you for taking such good care of me?"

"..."

Chen Yi glanced at her sideways, lowered his head to drink the wine in the glass, stood up and walked out.

"Doing the things I asked you to do well is the best way to repay me!"

"I obey my orders~"

Wen Renying watched him get on the carriage and drive away, and couldn't help but curl her lips.

The adults are still young~
Thinking of this, she looked at the small wooden sword in her hand that was as crystal clear as jade, and some information appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Then she hung the small wooden sword around her neck and carefully stuffed it in until it disappeared between her two pink petals before patting her chest.

"Let me think about where to start the investigation."

……

As noon approached, the sun in Kyoto became much brighter.

The noise and bustle of recent times has dissipated a little. There are still many common people in the streets and markets, but there are fewer outsiders.

Even the taverns and inns at the foot of the imperial city and on Suzaku Street were no longer as crowded as before, with only a few tables of diners sitting in groups of three or four.

The storyteller in the store looked at the hairy men with a slightly unpleasant expression, but still narrated the recent major events with anticipation.

"The mystery of the closure of Wuliang Mountain, who is responsible?"

The news in Jingye Marquis's Mansion had not yet spread out, but the storyteller's news had already lagged behind.

But the guests at several tables listened with great interest and asked him from time to time where the genius of Wuliang Mountain was.

"I heard that Lou Wushan, who ranked 13th on the Heavenly Pride Ranking and Earthly Pride Ranking, arrived in Kyoto Prefecture yesterday. I don't know where he is now."

The storyteller replied, then clapped his hands and said, "The pillar of the demon court, the great demon king 'Black Impermanence' Liao Wei, has committed many evil deeds..."

Although everyone in Kyoto Prefecture saw this incident last night, he still told the story fluently.

However, after a while, he found that few people responded.

This shouldn't be the case. How could no one listen to my praises for the newly promoted Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi?
After looking around, the storyteller realized that everyone in the store was looking outside.

"Huh? What happened?"

When he went out to check, his face showed some confusion.

From north to south on Zhuque Street, from time to time a shirtless man carrying a bramble on his back would walk out from the alleys along the street.

They are of different ages.

The oldest person was in his seventies or eighties, and his hair and beard were all white.

The younger ones were in their teens and followed the team like they had lost their parents.

If you look closely, you can easily find that the pants these people are wearing are made of silk, soft, smooth and crystal-like, and the boots on their feet are also made of precious animal skins.

The only worthless thing was the brambles they carried on their backs, the dry branches were full of barbs.

As they walked, some sharp thorns left bloody marks on their backs. After a few steps, their backs turned blood red.

"Hey, this, what happened to them?"

"Why do they all look like they are asking for forgiveness?"

"I don't know..."

Before long, the events on Suzaku Street attracted a large number of onlookers, many of whom recognized their identities.

"Then, isn't that the head of the Tong family? He, he retired from the position of county lord, how come he is here?"

"And Wu Yong from the Wu family, isn't he studying in the Kyoto Academy?"

"That's someone from the Sun family..."

"hiss!"

The more they recognized these shirtless people, the more frightened the numerous onlookers became.

Tong Lao and others are all from prominent families in Kyoto Prefecture, and some are even nobles with connections in the court.

Such people gathered together and apologized like this... Who did they offend? !

It didn't take long before someone well-informed found out the reason!

"They have all offended Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi!"

"At first, it was just the Wu, Sun, and Zheng families, who said that their children had offended the Marquis at the Kyoto Academy!"

"The Marquis made them kneel outside the Chen Mansion for three days. It is said that even the great master acquiesced to the Marquis's punishment!"

"What about Mr. Tong and the others?"

"They, they only have themselves to blame! Do you remember that a few days ago, many people in our Kyoto Prefecture were discussing the matter of Marquis Yingwu being welcomed by the King of Zhenbei?"

"It was Elder Tong and his gang who arranged for others to spread rumors and stir up trouble in order to provoke the Marquis! This time they shot themselves in the foot and finally hit a brick wall!"

"Oh, right, there's also the Zhao family..."

"It is said that the Minister of Rites Zhao Ruixiang, who was assassinated by the Black Impermanence, was also involved in this matter!"

After finding out what had happened, the people of Kyoto Prefecture who were watching the parade began to spit at Tong Lao and others.

"It's all their fault! They made me say some bad things about you behind your back!"

"Damn it, they deserve to die!"

These people chased after Tong Lao and others and cursed them all the way until they knelt outside the gate of Chen's house, and then they stopped.

Chen Taihang's face turned ashen as he looked at the nobles from aristocratic families who were kneeling down with expressionless faces.

"You guys, why are you doing this?"

"My Yi'er just returned to Kyoto Prefecture not long ago and has never fought with anyone. Why are you, why are you harming him?!"

Tong Lao smiled bitterly and said dejectedly, "It's too bad. I and others are blinded by greed."

"I hope that the Chen family will consider that we are both from the same city as you and have made contributions to the Wei Dynasty. Please say a few good words to Marquis Yingwu."

"..."

Chen Taihang had a cold face and did not say anything. He just asked the servants in the mansion to disperse the crowd around.

"Kneel down for now, and wait until my master returns home."

Old Tong did not complain. He bowed with everyone behind him, and then they all knelt straight.

Originally, he and several other families planned to go to Chen Yi's house to apologize and ask for forgiveness.

But later on, something happened with the Wu, Sun and Zheng families. After discussing it, they decided not to wait until tomorrow, but came together today to kneel outside the Chen residence.

"The law does not punish everyone. I hope that the Marquis Yingwu can forgive us for one or two days because of our sincerity." Kneeling for one day is already a disgrace to these noble families. If they kneel for three days...

They were afraid that they could no longer stay in Kyoto Prefecture. Even if they asked for Chen Yi's forgiveness, they would have to move their family to other prefectures.

But when Chen Taihang hurried back to the mansion and informed the old lady of the Chen family and several elders of the side branches of the family about this matter, everyone frowned.

"Taihang, this matter was decided by Yier, we just need to wait and see how it develops."

Chen Lixin, who had just finished his shift, thought: "However, Yi'er has just been conferred the title of Marquis of Yingwu, and if he encounters this kind of thing, it will probably cause controversy."

Chen Lide beside him nodded and said, "That's right, this matter can be big or small. It doesn't matter to others, but I'm afraid that His Majesty will be unhappy when he finds out."

Chen Taihang said carelessly: "My two uncles, His Majesty is not so narrow-minded. This matter is all their own fault. It is not Yier's fault."

"That being said..."

At this time, Old Madam Chen paused with her cane, motioning them to shut up, and said thoughtfully:

"Taihang, tell them to prepare some wine, cakes and pastries, and bring a few pharmacists with you to wait."

"After all, some of them are elderly. If something happens to them and they die outside our Chen family's door, I'm afraid this will attract criticism from the scoundrels."

Chen Lixin and Chen Lide nodded immediately: "Mom is more thoughtful, great, let's do it."

Chen Taihang looked at the expressions of the three people and had to take them back to the outside of the mansion and have them prepare all the necessary food and medicine.

After he left, Chen Lixin thought for a moment and said:
"Yier's approach seems to be somewhat different from before?"

Chen Lide on the side snorted: "I think Yi'er did nothing wrong. Those people from the aristocratic families even dared to plot against my Chen family. It's not too much for them to suffer a little."

Chen Lixin shook his head: "I'm not saying that Yi'er shouldn't be punished, but the way he punished him seemed to have other intentions."

Old Madam Chen looked at him and said, "Go on."

"Mother, think about it, with Yi'er's current status and cultivation, should he be on the same level as these people?"

"Even if we want to punish them, we can use more ruthless means, even destroying their families and making them die."

"Yier chose this method. There is punishment, but it is more of a humiliation."

"Even in the history of our Great Wei Dynasty, when has anyone ever knelt outside someone else's house to apologize?"

After listening to Chen Lixin's words, Chen Lide vaguely understood.

"Brother, what you mean is...Yier did this on purpose? He wants more people to know about this and cause a sensation in Kyoto Prefecture?"

"But, but what good will this do for him and the Chen family?"

Chen Lixin shook his head, thought for a moment, and sighed, "Now that Yi'er is the Marquis of Yingwu, it's probably hard for others to guess what he's thinking."

"This is a serious matter. When Yi'er returns from Jingye Marquis's Mansion, I will go and ask him about it."

"No!"

Old Madam Chen stared at him with cloudy eyes, and her thin body still tapped her cane a few times vigorously, saying:

"Second brother, what identity do you have to go to see Yi'er?"

"Don't forget, Yi'er is now the Marquis Yingwu of the Wei Dynasty, not your grandson!"

Chen Lixin smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Mom, I, I'm just worried that he might not be thoughtful enough, so I want to give him some advice."

After all, he is a third-rank official of the current dynasty. Even if his martial arts skills are not enough, using his brain is enough.

"Hmph!" The old lady said angrily, "Put aside your thoughts. No matter what the impact of this matter is, it will be decided by Yi'er. No one else can interfere!"

"Even if he is criticized by His Majesty, or attacked by other noble families, or even the royal family, we will stand behind him!"

Chen Lixin: “…”

"Second brother, mother is right. Let Yier make the decision on this matter." Chen Li pulled him aside, bowed and saluted:
"Mom, please don't be angry. Second brother has no bad intentions. He just wants to help Yi'er."

The old lady's expression eased a little, and she said in a serious tone: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking."

"Now Yi'er has been canonized as Marquis Yingwu by the emperor, and he can only be a branch of my Chen family from now on."

"You want to get close to me, but I will never agree!"

"..."

Chen Lixin and Chen Lide looked at each other and said no.

After some persuasion, the old lady's anger finally dissipated a little.

"Don't interfere in Yi'er's affairs. Even if Taiping is here, I still say the same thing!"

"I would like to remind you that if anyone dares to attack the Yingwu Marquis' Mansion, don't blame me for not considering our blood relationship!"

"My mother taught me that."

Chen Lixin and Chen Lide walked out of the backyard, still with bitter smiles on their faces.

"The old lady is even on guard against you and me... She really only focuses on Yi'er."

"Second brother, mother is right. Yi'er's martial arts skills are no longer what they used to be. Even if you discover something, it will be difficult for you to participate."

Chen Lide advised: "If it's not good, it will ruin Yi'er's business."

Chen Lixin thought for a moment, gave up the idea of ​​intervening, and nodded, "Then let's wait and see."

"I don't know what Yi'er's attitude will be when he goes to Jingye Marquis's Mansion... I hope he doesn't cause trouble there, otherwise..."

……

Jingye Hou Mansion.

After the previous debate between Lin Xueru and others and Wang Yang, the noble families who came to watch the ceremony restrained themselves a lot.

Even though they all knew that the major events that happened in the past two days were related to Chen Yi, they refused to mention it at this time.

Just talk about things related to Jingye Marquis Mansion, Zhou Tiance or Chen Yuan.

"Ah, when I see the scene today, I think of Zhou Guanwu's appearance when he succeeded to the title of Marquis more than 30 years ago."

A middle-aged official with an older face and wearing court robes said:
"At that time, Lord Zhou was also as busy as he is today, taking care of the guests from various families."

"What a pity! Who could have thought that Lord Guanwu would die at Beixiong Pass?"

"I heard that his sacrifice was related to an incident in Kyoto Prefecture at that time?" someone asked.

"Silence!"

The official in court robes looked serious and raised his hand to interrupt, "Today we are just celebrating the new Marquis Jingye!"

Obviously, the following words sent a chill down his spine.

While groups of people were chatting at the table, one of the two disciples of Yuhua Xianmen stood up and left.

"I need to pee urgently. I need to go to the toilet."

A servant led him through the middle courtyard and into the backyard. The young Taoist in colorful Taoist robes suddenly smiled:

"Old Marquis, why are you following me instead of entertaining people in the front yard?"

Having said that, without waiting for the servant to look around, the young Taoist raised his hand and stroked his neck, and his head flew out immediately.

"You should know why I am like this!"

At this time, Zhou Tiance appeared behind him with a hunched back, looking at him seriously:
"You risked your life to come here today, but what's your plan?"

The young Taoist turned around and looked at him, with a strange and dark smile on his face, as if he was wearing a human skin mask.

"Old Marquis, you are too wary of me. This is wrong."

"We met a while ago and you valued me very much. Why are you so distant now?"

Zhou Tiance's expression remained unchanged. He sensed the change in the power of heaven and earth beside him. His eyes were vaguely complicated, and he continued to ask:
"Your coming here is related to Chen Yuan's succession to the title of Marquis of Jingye?"

The young Taoist smiled even more, and said with his palm turned over: "Since the old marquis guessed my intention, he should be happy."

As he spoke, a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand, and he waved it in front of his eyes and said:

"Is this thing familiar to you, old Lord?"

Zhou Tiance's face darkened: "What exactly do you want to do?!"

"I don't want to do anything. I just want to continue to complete the tasks assigned by Lord Black Impermanence."

The young Taoist said with a half-smile:
"Old Marquis, you lost the elixir that Lord Black Impermanence gave you last night. I found it for you. You should thank me."

"you?!"

Zhou Tiance was filled with anger and coughed, "Don't you worry about Yuan'er too?"

"Don't worry?" The young Taoist smiled coldly and said:

"Old Marquis, people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. How can you be sure that Chen Yuan will agree with you?"

"He didn't even want to change his last name to 'Zhou'. Isn't that enough to prove that he can't be trusted?"

Zhou Tiance paused, his eyes changing constantly, obviously what he said hit the nail on the head.

"But it is not my intention to use such means to deal with Yuan'er, and..."

"And you don't want him to be involved with the Demon Court?" The young Taoist took over and sneered:

"Old Marquis, you are getting more and more confused as you get older!"

"..."

Zhou Tiance looked at him speechlessly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked in a somewhat dejected tone:
"What can I do to make you give up this idea?"

When the young Taoist saw his expression, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but he said:

"I want to see his attitude!"

"Otherwise, even if he succeeds to the position of Marquis Jingye, I will find a way to make him die without a burial place!"

Zhou Tiance gritted his teeth and said, "If he changes his surname from 'Chen' to 'Zhou', will you be satisfied?!"

The young Taoist nodded without comment and said, "If that's the case, I can give him a few days to see the results!"

“But I have to say this beforehand. You surrendered to the Demon King Fengyue in the past. It is not so easy for you to withdraw now!”

Zhou Tiance opened his mouth and was about to say something but was interrupted by a cough.

He was hunched over and coughing continuously, as if his heart was being torn apart.

The young Taoist hesitated for a moment, then patted him on the back and said, "Old Marquis, I hope you can make plans early."

"In addition, my current identity is the prodigy of Yuhua Xianmen - Lu Fang. Please keep this in mind."

"If you have any ideas recently, you can come to Xianglan Inn to find me."

As he spoke, the young Taoist opened the porcelain bottle in his hand, took out the elixir inside and stuffed it directly into Zhou Tiance's mouth:
"This is the elixir I found in the Demon Court. Although it cannot completely heal your injuries, it can relieve some of the pain."

"That's all I have to say. Take care!"

The young Taoist turned around and left without stopping. As soon as he reached the back porch, he heard the voice of the Zhou Mansion servant coming from the front yard:
"Marquis Yingwu Chen Yi came to congratulate..."
