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

Chapter 303 The most regrettable and hardworking person (please subscribe)

"He's gotten stronger."

At this moment, in a pleasure boat beside Quchi, Lou Wushan, wearing Wuliangshan Taoist robe, looked towards Dakong Temple with a dejected look on his face.

Ever since Chen Yi overpowered Wuliang Mountain and forced the ancestor to close the mountain for a hundred years, there are only a few disciples left walking around the mountain.

Apart from Lou Yuchun and others who had already gone to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, only the disciples who were carrying out missions and guarding the industries in various places were left.

Among these disciples, the most important one is Lou Wushan, the son of the Wuliangshan Sect Master, who has become the backbone of the current group of disciples.

He knew what these fellow disciples were thinking, and most of them were filled with resentment and hatred towards Chen Yi, who had forced the sect to close its doors for a hundred years.

But Lou Wushan has his own understanding. He knows very well that the remaining fellow disciples in Tianyuan Continent together are no match for Chen Yi, let alone competing with him.

Therefore, he suppressed everyone's voices and did not dare to show any resentment when he saw Chen Yi.

"With such a huge gap, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with him even if I spend my entire life."

A Wuliangshan Tianjiao behind him said indignantly: "How hateful! Why would Chen Yi..."

Snapped!
Before he could finish, Lou Wushan slapped him in the face: "Shut your mouth!"

The genius looked at him in disbelief, "Big Brother..."

Lou Wushan was filled with murderous intent, "If you dare to say another word, I will kill you!"

The other two Wuliang Mountain's geniuses hurried forward, pulled the man away, and consoled him: "Big Brother, Sun Xu just can't accept the sect closing the mountain..."

"Can't accept it? That proves that you have the strength to stand in front of the 'Little Sword Immortal'!" Lou Wushan stared at his fellow disciple behind him with icy eyes and said:
"If not, then shut your mouths, put away your little thoughts, and behave yourself!"

"..."

The two young geniuses looked unhappy, and it was obvious that they could not accept these words.

"Why? Do you want to be like him?"

"Don't dare."

"No, I dare not."

Lou Wushan snorted coldly, turned around and looked in the direction of Dakong Temple. His face was as if ice and snow had melted, and he bowed with a smile, but at this moment, beads of sweat had already appeared on his back.

It was because when he looked over, he met Chen Yi's peaceful eyes.

The two talented disciples of Wuliang Mountain on the side also felt a chill down their spines, and they obviously knew why the eldest brother was like this.

"What's going on? Isn't there a formation protecting the pleasure boat? Why would he... Little Sword Immortal look over here?"

“Keep your head down!”

Lou Wushan reminded him through voice transmission, and Chen Yi only breathed a sigh of relief when he turned around and continued to walk up the mountain.

A moment of silence.

The true energy in Lou Wushan's body circulated, evaporating the sweat on his body. Wisps of green smoke rose up, casting a hazy pale light on his face.

"If you want to die, you can die!"

"Big Brother, we dare not!"

Even Sun Xu, the prodigy from Wuliang Mountain who had spoken earlier, lowered his head, feeling terrified.

Even though he sounded indignant just now, when he really faced Chen Yi, he couldn't muster the slightest desire to resist.

"There is no need to say similar things in the future. Remember what the sect master and the other sect leaders said before they left - only by knowing shame and then being brave can the reputation of Wuliang Mountain last forever."

"Big Brother, we've made note of this!"

Lou Wushan straightened his back and looked towards the direction of Dakong Temple with a complicated expression, only to feel that a hint of sharpness had replaced that place - like dazzling sunlight, making people dare not look directly at it.

"Being born in the same era as the Little Sword Immortal is both our misfortune and our blessing."

Unfortunately, all the geniuses will be suppressed by Chen Yi's brilliance, but fortunately, there is a powerful swordsman standing in front of them.

Just like facing the changes in the demon court and Buddhism.

If those powerful people in the realm of supernatural powers take action, only Chen Yi can block them.

"No more training today. Let's prepare for the grand event."

Lou Wushan waved his hand, signaling the singers in the pleasure boat to start dancing and the vocal music to start playing. Then the beautiful singer tossed her long sleeves and sang softly:
"It's a pity~ the hardworking people~"

Inside the Dakong Temple.

Chen Yi withdrew his gaze, his smile remaining unchanged.

Just now, it was not just a few geniuses from Wuliang Mountain. He also noticed the Yuhua Immortal Sect that was at odds with the Taixu Taoist Sect, as well as the evil demons hidden among the martial artists.

If it weren't for the fact that his status and cultivation were far beyond those of these villains, it is possible that he had already made a move in secret.

Especially where the Yuhua Immortal Sect was, Chen Yi could not possibly forget what was said on the light curtain - the Yuhua Immortal Sect, together with "Qianlong" and the Baishen Sect, surrounded and killed the Taixu Dao Sect!

"Before going to Taizhou Mountain, the Yuhua Immortal Sect is also something that needs to be resolved!" Chen Yi thought to himself.

At this time, two clerks from the Ministry of Rites came over from the front of the mountain path, bowed and said:

"Your humble servant from the Ministry of Rites pays respect to Lord Yingwu Marquis, the Crown Prince, the Princess, and several young men."

Du Yanqing glanced at Chen Yi, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he ordered, "No need to be polite, take us to register."

"Guys, please come this way."

Compared with the past, Dakong Temple is much quieter today.

Even though there are many travelers coming and going, the incense here is no longer burning, and the Buddhist vows are gradually dissipating. Even the monks who originally belonged to the Dakong Temple were arranged in a Buddhist hall deeper inside, and Chen Yi noticed that there were a thousand black-armored guards guarding them.

"It's a lot quieter here than before," Du Yan said with a hint of emotion.

"That day, 'Dakong Buddhist Son' had lotus flowers blooming wherever he stepped. He achieved enlightenment alone, but it caused disaster for all Buddhists, and the first to suffer was Dakong Temple." Du Yanqing shook his head.

Hua Youxiang recalled the noise that night and could not help but nod her head, "It was really scary at the time. I also heard the sound of the Buddha statue in my brother's house, which made a lot of noise."

"Brother Yi was deep in the Shiwanda Mountains at that time, so he shouldn't have seen it, right?" Lin Xueru looked at Chen Yi and asked.

“Well, I didn’t see it.”

Chen Yi nodded slightly and glanced around, unable to help but sigh at the grand scale of the "Pure Land of Bliss" - it would take hundreds of years to lay out the plan, just to allow Fuchen to become a Buddha on the spot, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do!
"I heard that the court has other plans for Buddhism?" Du Yanqing asked.

"Just wait, there will be an order coming down soon..."

While Chen Yi and others were discussing Buddhist matters, many young men who came to register saw them on the mountain path.

Even if some people didn't know Chen Yi, they could recognize the Taixu Taoist sect's black shirts and white tiger patterned Taoist robes they were wearing, and they all looked a little excited.

"He is Chen Yi, Marquis of Yingwu, the world-famous Little Sword Immortal?"

"He is truly extraordinary and heroic."

"I thought that the several geniuses from the Kyoto Academy who came here before were already extraordinary, but now it seems that the Taixu Dao Sect's geniuses are no less outstanding."

"Yes, leaving aside the Little Sword Immortal, several of his fellow disciples are regulars on the Heavenly Pride Ranking. According to the latest Earth Ranking, most of them are ranked between tenth and fifty."

"The strongest is Fairy Xueru, who ranks 13th on the Earth Ranking. The weakest is Hua Youxiang, who practices with the Little Sword Fairy in Jianfeng Mountain. She ranks 47th on the Earth Ranking."

"However, the rankings on the Tianjiao List are secondary. After all, during this period leading up to the grand event, those Tianjiao have not stopped their cultivation. It is very likely that they have made breakthroughs. The winner will still be determined by their performance in the grand event."

Amid the whispers of the crowd, a question suddenly rang out: "Have you ever thought about this? This time, the Little Sword Immortal came with his fellow disciples. Is he going to attend the event?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people nearby suddenly stopped talking, and then it caused a chain reaction. Everyone on the mountain road looked at Chen Yi with surprise and suspicion.

Just now they were shocked by the arrival of Chen Yi and others, but they ignored whether Chen Yi participated in the event.

"If Lord Yingwu Hou really attends the event...it will be great!"

"That's right. The Little Sword Immortal has amazing skills, but few people have seen him in action. If we could see his sword skills up close, our trip would definitely be worthwhile!"

At this moment, a sturdy man in the crowd shouted boldly:

"'Little Sword Immortal', are you going to participate in this event?"

In an instant, the Dakong Temple fell silent, and everyone looked at the person who spoke in astonishment. It was hard not to admire his courage. Chen Yi's eyes fell on the man and he immediately laughed.

He didn't expect that the person who said this was an old friend - the man who was shrinking and hiding was Wang Dashan from Jeju Prefecture.

Previously, when Chen Yi used the mask of Pohuan and the alias Lu Xiaofeng, he got acquainted with Wang Dashan and others, and learned from them what the Lu family of Jizhou Prefecture had done, so they could be considered destined friends.

"I see you, stop hiding."

Wang Dashan scratched his head, stood up with a wry smile, his dark face flushed: "Sir, just treat it as if I were farting, don't take it seriously."

Chen Yi chuckled, casually took out a jar of fine wine from his Sumeru bag, threw it out, and saw the jar of clear spring wine hanging in front of him.

"Lu Xiaofeng is one of my... elder brothers. I am giving this jar of wine to you on his behalf."

"Does your Excellency know Brother Lu?" Wang Dashan stared at the jar of wine in a daze. Hearing this, he couldn't help but asked happily, "Does your Excellency know where Brother Lu is now?"

"He," Chen Yi looked at him gently and said, "Brother Lu went to a secret place to practice. If we are destined, we will meet again."

After saying this, he placed the jar of clear spring wine in Wang Dashan's hands and continued walking towards the depths of Dakong Temple.

"By the way, my answer to your question is - I will not attend this event."

Wang Dashan held the Qingquan wine in his arms and couldn't help but smile, "Thank you for telling me, sir!"

Chen Yi waved his hand behind his back and disappeared from everyone's sight with Lin Xueru and others.

Many geniuses had mixed feelings, some regretful and some grateful.

Unfortunately, they did not have the opportunity to watch Chen Yi's kendo up close, but fortunately, there was one less strong opponent in the event.

Otherwise, it was hard for them to imagine what it would be like to meet Chen Yi in a fight, and they would probably laugh uglier than crying.

After Chen Yi walked away, Wang Dashan came back to his senses, raised his head with a smug look on his face, looked at his companion beside him and laughed:

"Look, at the critical moment, you still have to rely on me, your brother Dashan. If you had learned half of my skills, you wouldn't be so scared when you saw Lord Yingwu Hou."

"Brother Dashan, aren't you afraid too? Otherwise, why did you hide just now?"

"It's just..."

Before they could continue speaking, several young men from aristocratic families nearby looked at the wine in Wang Dashan's hand with envy.

"Brother Dashan, are you willing to give up your love?"

"Give it up? You don't want to! I haven't even started a family yet, why should I give it up?" Wang Dashan glared at him.

"No, no, I want to ask if you can sell the wine in your hand? I'm willing to buy it for a hundred gold coins!"

"One hundred coins? What a joke! That was a gift from Lord Yingwu Hou. I am not talented enough, but I am willing to pay one thousand coins to buy that jar of wine!"

"Ten thousand!"

"..."

Wang Dashan looked at the increasing number of travelers, rolled his eyes a few times, smiled a few times, waved his hand towards the mountain road and said, "Little Sword Immortal, you are back again?"

"Ok?"

Just as everyone turned around to look, Wang Dashan immediately pulled his companions and ran down the mountain, shouting as he ran:

"What are you selling? I want to keep it for myself to drink!"

"Damn it, this guy looks so honest, why is his words and actions so vulgar?"

"Haha...what a wonderful person..."

Chen Yi, who was on the mountain, heard the laughter coming from behind him and the smile on his face became even more intense.

Wang Dashan was still the same Wang Dashan he knew, with an upright character, clear likes and dislikes, truly a wonderful person.

Lin Xueru looked at him in confusion and asked, "Brother Yi, who is the 'Lu Xiaofeng' you just mentioned?"

Xiao Xuanzhen and Flower Fairy also looked at him, obviously with some curiosity.

"That's me," Chen Yi did not hide it from them and explained with a smile:
"Before I went to the Shiwandashan Mountains, I found out Zhou Guanwu's whereabouts, so I disguised myself and investigated secretly. 'Lu Xiaofeng' was my alias at the time."

"I see." Du Yanqing had learned on the way that Zhou Guanwu was not dead, and suddenly said, "Brother Yi, I really didn't expect that you did so many things after we returned to Kyoto Prefecture."

Du Yan glanced at him and said, "Do you think everyone is like you? You've been running around since you returned to Kyoto Prefecture, either going to Moon Viewing Tower or attending poetry gatherings, and you've even slacked off in your practice."

Du Yanqing begged for mercy with a wry smile, but did not dare to refute.

After all, he is the prince of Zhenbei, and he has some tasks to complete after returning.

The reason why he went to Wangyue Tower was to help King Zhenbei maintain the offspring of ministers close to the court, and to prepare for returning to the palace in the future.

The reason why he went to the poetry meeting was to... meet those nobles and daughters of aristocratic families. After all, the royal palace was already arranging his marriage.

Not long after, Chen Yi and others followed the clerk from the Ministry of Rites to a Buddhist temple.

Lin Xueru, Xiao Xuanzhen and others came forward to register one by one. In addition to their names and the sects they belonged to, they also had to choose which type of genius battle in the event they would participate in.

It can be roughly divided into four categories: "Martial Arts", "Qi Men", "Alchemy" and "Miscellaneous School".

Except for Flower Fairy and Du Yan who were registered in Dandao and Qimen respectively, Lin Xueru, Hua Youxiang, Xiao Xuanzhen, Du Yanqing and Du Yan were all in Wudao.

"What is 'Zajia'?" Erhua asked curiously.

Before the clerk from the Ministry of Rites could answer, a voice as gentle as jade came from the depths of the Buddhist hall, explaining:

"There are many miscellaneous arts in the martial arts world. In addition to martial arts, alchemy, and Qimen, other skills such as mechanical devices, craftsmanship, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all considered "miscellaneous arts."

As the voices got closer, Xie Dong'an and Jiang Ye were seen approaching with several Confucian scholars from Kyoto Academy.

"My Lord Yingwu Hou, nice to meet you again." Xie Dong'an bowed.

"Brother Yi, long time no see." Jiang Ye became much more casual and greeted Xiao Xuanzhen, Hua Xianzi and others.

Chen Yi had already noticed where they were, but at this moment his face looked a little cold. He just nodded slightly to say hello.

Jiang Ye looked at him in confusion, and then saw Xie Dongan step out with a bitter smile on his face:

"Lord Yingwu Hou, would you mind coming to the side and talking to me?"

When he saw Chen Yi's look, he knew in his heart that Chen Yi was like this because of Chen Yuan's matter, so he took the initiative to invite him to explain something.

"You guys wait for me here."

Chen Yi gestured to Lin Xueru and the others, then looked at Xie Dongan: "Lead the way."

Xie Dongan felt relieved and said, "Please follow me."

At the same time, he sent a message to Jiang Ye, begging him to entertain Lin Xueru and others on his behalf.

"These two are so mysterious. It's really... not pleasant at all!"

Jiang Ye muttered, then looked at the people in the Buddhist hall and said:
"Brother Chen Fan is here too, so I feel a little relieved. Come on, why don't we take a break here? I heard that the Buddha statues in this temple are all made of pure gold. Let's take a look..."

Chen Fan, who had been silent the whole time, looked into the depths of the Buddhist hall and sighed in his heart, fearing that he would never be able to reach the level of his second brother in his lifetime.

Not only respected, but also feared...

A moment of silence.

Looking at Jiang Ye who was trying to make conversation, Chen Fan put aside his thoughts and walked over to him with a smile.

"Sister Xueru, Senior Sister Fairy, Senior Sister Xiao... let me tell you the story of this Buddha statue."

Sister-in-law, sister-in-law...

The little girl blushed immediately and subconsciously buried her head in Xiao Xuanzhen's arms.

"Master, Senior Sister, what did he call me?"

"I'll call you Sister Xueru...hahahaha..."
