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

Chapter 7 No need!

A ten-meter giant!
Like a small hill, it stands at the entrance of the martial arts field.

He had a broad and strong body, thick limbs, and veins protruding from his muscles like vines.

He was shirtless, with a breastplate slung across his shoulder, and in each hand he held a rough iron hammer with barbs on the handle.

Chen Yi tilted his head, put his little hands on his eyebrows to block the sunlight, and looked at the giant.

He soon discovered that the giant's head did not look like a human, but more like an ape - with a hairy face and fangs, and eyes as big as bronze bells but without any life.

dead?

Chen Yi murmured, "Dead demon...Medal of Honor?"

"Yes, this is a dead demon."

At this time, a voice was heard, and Chen Yi felt someone picking him up.

He looked back and smiled: "Second Uncle."

The visitor was Wu'an Hou's younger brother, Chen Taihang (hang), an unkempt middle-aged man.

Just like now, Chen Taihang is wearing a blue suit, his long hair is tied up casually, he has a beard on his dark face, but his smile is very friendly.

"Xiao Yi'er, do you still remember your uncle?"

"Remember, my great-grandmother often talked about you."

"What did grandma say about me?"

Chen Yi thought of the old lady's "nagging" at Chen Taihang, calling him a scoundrel all the time, and decided it was better not to say anything.

He rolled his eyes, pointed at the demon whose toes were bigger than his entire body, and asked, "Second Uncle, why is this demon in the mansion?"

Chen Taihang said casually: "Martial arts emphasize courage. It is here for us Chen family members to practice courage."

Chen Yi took another look, with a look of wanting to say something but stopping himself from speaking.

Chen Taihang noticed his strangeness, thought of something, and asked with a slightly changed expression: "Are you afraid, Xiao Yi'er?"

He almost forgot.

According to family rules, children who first enter the martial arts arena need to be looked after by someone to prevent them from being harmed by the power of demons.

And his nephew not only came to the martial arts arena alone, but also saw the body of this demon...

"No," Chen Yi hesitated and asked, "Second Uncle, is there anyone who would be afraid of a dead demon?"

He wasn't sure if that was a good answer.

Or maybe the demon's corpse has some special effect that he has not discovered?

"Of course not. Who would be afraid of a dead demon? Ha, ha, ha..."

Chen Taihang has already confirmed that his nephew is indeed not afraid.

You know, when he first came to the martial arts arena, he was so scared by the body of this demon king-level monster that his legs went weak.

Even with such performance, his father still praised him for his bravery.

How should we evaluate Chen Yi, who showed no fear of the demon's body at all?
Born to be brave?

Martial arts genius?

Chen Taihang was determined to tell his eldest brother about this matter, so he smiled and said, "Since we are at the martial arts arena, I will show you around."

Chen Yi said respectfully as if by reflex: "Thank you, second uncle."

After realizing it, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

It seems that the lectures given by the gentlemen over the past year have been very effective.

If he hadn't been held by Chen Taihang, he would even follow the etiquette lessons and perform the etiquette for the elders.

"Your mother also taught you etiquette?"

"Yes, there are not only etiquette classes, but also reading and literacy, astronomy and geography, etc."

"so much……"

Two figures, one big and one small, walked around the demon's corpse and began to wander around the martial arts arena.

The entire martial arts performance was so grand that it almost took up half of the central courtyard.

In addition to the venue for the Chen family's children to practice martial arts, there is also a library and a treasure building at the innermost part.

The library mainly collects various martial arts secrets, summaries of predecessors, and some classics from various schools of thought.

The Treasure Building houses weapons, armor, etc., all of which have been collected by the Chen family over the generations.

At the same time, Chen Yi also solved a puzzle - why the demon could not be seen from outside the martial arts arena.

It turned out that the entire martial arts arena was isolated by a Taoist formation, and the sounds and scenes here could not be transmitted out.

There are many benefits.

In the original words of Chen Taihang, doing so would not only prevent the demons from scaring outsiders, but would also prevent others from secretly learning the Chen family's martial arts.

After walking around, Chen Yi followed Chen Taihang back to the martial arts training ground.

There are already hundreds of Chen family members here, but most of them are from side branches, and a small number are descendants of servants.

The youngest among them looked only three or four years old.

"drink!"

"Hum, ha!"

At this time, these people each occupied an area and practiced martial arts.

Some practiced boxing, and some wielded swords.

Chen Yi first watched the disciples who were practicing swordsmanship, but after just a few seconds, he turned his head to look at others.

Chen Taihang next to him had been observing Chen Yi, paying attention to his expression.

I thought that since my nephew had snatched the jade sword during the ceremony, he would be interested in those who practiced swordsmanship, but I didn't expect him to show any reaction.

After thinking for a few seconds, Chen Taihang asked, "What do you think of the brothers, Xiao Yier?"

Chen Yi glanced at him, smiled and nodded: "They are all very impressive."

Apart from anything else, it was really difficult for him to evaluate the dozen or so Chen family members who practiced swordsmanship.

If I have to say something, there are only eight words - there are too many mistakes and omissions, it's unbearable to look at!

With Chen Yi's entry-level kendo vision, those people's footwork and swordsmanship had too many loopholes.

I don’t know if it’s because the sword skills taught by the Chen family are like this, or if those people are not talented and haven’t learned them well enough.

In short, these people in the martial arts arena made him a little disappointed.

Chen Taihang patted his head and said, "Don't worry. Once you have completed your foundation building, you can be as powerful as them."

Chen Yi: “…”

No need!

If he really is like these people, I’m afraid his future trajectory will be as described in the panel... miserable!

Not long after, Chen Yi said goodbye to Chen Taihang and left the martial arts arena.

The young servant breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Yi, it's getting late. How about we go back to the courtyard and continue shopping tomorrow?"

He couldn't bear the second time of worrying.

"it is good."

Chen Yi nodded and followed the servant back to the backyard, but he was thinking about what he had just seen and heard in the martial arts arena.

There are only two places that left a deep impression.

One is the body of the demon, and the other is the library deep inside.

After he completes building his foundation, he will definitely spend some time reading more books.

……

As night fell, Chen Taihang found Wu'an Hou Chen Taiping in the left wing.

"Brother, guess what I found today?"

Chen Taiping was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. Hearing this, he asked curiously, "Is there a good talent in the martial arts arena?"

"He is indeed a good candidate, but he is not one of those side branch children."

Chen Taihang couldn't help but smile and said, "It's your good son, Chen Yi."

"Yier? Did he go to the martial arts arena?"

Chen Taiping's expression became more serious and he motioned for him to explain in detail.

"Xiao Yier gave me a surprise today."

Chen Taihang didn't say it directly, but kept it a secret and asked, "Do you still remember how you felt when you first saw the body of the demon king?"

"I remember you were so scared that your legs went limp. If I hadn't supported you, you would have fallen to the ground."

"..." Chen Taihang was speechless for a moment, rolling his eyes and said, "Weren't you so scared that you hugged me?"

"It's not hugging, it's supporting." Chen Taiping corrected seriously.

"Okay, okay, you're the best."

Chen Taihang knew that his elder brother was very proud, so he didn't dwell on it and continued, "But Xiao Yier didn't show any fear when he saw the corpse of the demon king just now."

Chen Taiping was a little surprised. "Really?"

"How could I lie to you? He even asked me back, 'Would anyone be afraid of a dead demon?'"

Chen Taihang imitated the performance so vividly that his beard fluttered.

"Is there anyone who is afraid of the demon's body?"

Chen Taiping silently recited this sentence, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and finally he burst into laughter:
"Good, good, good, you are worthy of being my, Chen Taiping's, offspring!"

"Isn't that right? I also think that Xiao Yier has such courage, and he will surely make great progress in the path of martial arts."

At this moment, Zhou Wanyi walked over with Chen Yuan by her hand and asked with a smile: "What are you brothers talking about? I can hear your laughter from a long distance away."

Chen Taiping couldn't help but said, "Wanyi, Taihang just told me that Yi'er went to the martial arts arena today."

"Really? He's so young, so he needs someone to accompany him when he goes in, right?"

"No, not only that, he also..."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Wanyi kept smiling, tightly held Chen Yuan's hand and said:

"Yier is indeed very courageous. Even if his foundation building assessment is lower in the future, his future achievements will not be low."

Chen Yuan frowned and glanced at his mother secretly, but didn't dare to say anything.

"Foundation building?"

Chen Taiping's smile faded and he sighed slightly: "Marquis Taishan will be returning to Kyoto Prefecture soon. That will be the day I set out for Beixiong Pass. Unfortunately..."

"It's a pity that I couldn't wait until Yuan'er and Yi'er completed their foundation building."

"Don't worry, my husband. I will send you the results in writing when the time comes."

"It can only be like this..."

……

Two days later, the Lantern Festival arrived.

Kyoto Prefecture lifted its curfew.

With the help of his wet nurse Luluo, Chen Yi dressed himself up.

He wore a tiger-head hat on his head, a black cotton-padded jacket, and a pair of cotton shoes on his feet. He was wrapped very tightly.

Even so, Luluo was still worried and insisted on putting a fur coat on him. She also reminded him: "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold again."

Chen Yi nodded helplessly and pulled up his tiger-head hat, his pink little face turning red under the heater.

Bad luck.

Unexpectedly, after going to the martial arts arena, he caught a cold the next day.

Even though it was only half a day, the nervous Xia Wanwan didn't dare let him leave the yard again.

And seeing that he had nothing to do in the side room, they arranged for the teachers to come and give him lessons...

The rare few days of vacation were ruined.

It was not until the Lantern Festival that Xia Wanwan took him out for an outing as agreed.

"Let's go. Your Aunt Wanyi has already asked someone to prepare a carriage."

Xia Wanwan took Chen Yi to the outer courtyard to meet Zhou Wanyi and her son, and they left Wu'an Marquis Mansion together in a carriage.

As soon as they left the Marquis' Mansion, Chen Yi and Chen Yuan each occupied a window, opened the curtain and looked out.

The weather is sunny today and the sun is quite warm.

The wide bluestone road was smooth and clean, with some traces of unmelted snow on the roadside.

Most households have red iron doors with thresholds of varying heights. There are tiles on the top of the door eaves and big red lanterns hanging below.

Perhaps because Fengtong Street, where the Marquis' Mansion is located, is mostly inhabited by nobles, there are not many pedestrians on the road, but there are quite a few patrolmen wearing black armor.

When the patrol guards saw their carriage from afar, they would stop and salute.

Chen Yi recognized the etiquette; it was the chest-protecting ceremony performed by military officers in the court.

From this, it was not difficult for him to see the status and position of Marquis Wu'an.

After a while, the carriage drove out of Fengtong Street and came to a wider and cleaner road, which was divided into car and pedestrian areas.

However, what attracted Chen Yi's attention more were the pedestrians dressed in different clothes and the shops along the street.

"This is Suzaku Street, the most prosperous street in Kyoto Prefecture."

Xia Wanwan looked outside through the window and said, "Legend has it that when the late emperor conquered the Wei Dynasty and officially ascended the throne, an ancient red bird flew from the East China Sea and flew all the way to the imperial city along this street."

“That’s how the street got its name.”

"Is it the same for Xuanwu, Qinglong, and Baihu?"

Chen Yi did not doubt that there were mythical beasts like the Vermillion Bird in the world, he just wanted to know whether there were other mythical beasts.

He was secretly thinking, with so many mythical beasts coming at once, wouldn't Kyoto Prefecture be overturned?

"of course not!"

Zhou Wanyi took over the conversation: "This was the suggestion of the Imperial Master at the time. Since we already have the Vermillion Bird, we were afraid that the other three elephants would be dissatisfied if they were missing."

"Oh."

Chen Yixin thought this was reasonable.

In the following time, the carriage went south along Zhuque Street, turned southeast and arrived at the Qujiang River.

Along the way, Zhou Wanyi introduced Kyoto Prefecture from time to time to Chen Yi and Chen Yuan.

For example, the bustling Baohua Street, the East and West markets with countless shops, as well as Fenghua Tower, Tianya Academy, Taixu Taoist Sect, etc.

It really opened Chen Yi's eyes.

Although he had seen the geomancy map of Kyoto Prefecture before, those simple patterns could not show the prosperity and grandeur of Kyoto Prefecture.

Just like today’s first stop, Dakong Temple.

On a hill, the clouds and mist were looming, and the temple was tall and magnificent, glittering in the sun, like a holy place.

But on the Feng Shui map, there is only a square Buddha head.

When they arrived at the destination, Chen Yi followed Xia Wanwan obediently.

Chen Yuan was even more excited. He pulled Zhou Wanyi to look here and touch there, looking like a curious baby.

The mother and her two children were fine, but the guards of the Marquis' Mansion who were following behind them became nervous, fearing that something might happen.

"Burning incense and praying to Buddha during the Lantern Festival is the most effective. I heard that the last time the lady from the Li family came here to pray for a child, she got pregnant after she returned."

"So smart?"

"Of course, there are times when it doesn't work. It depends on whether your heart is sincere or not..."

Listening to the idle chatter of the pilgrims who were worshipping Buddha nearby, Chen Yi thought to himself, how could it be so mysterious?

He had learned so much basic knowledge, but he had never heard of any Buddhist method to help with pregnancy. He had heard of many lecherous monks doing it for him...

"Yier, your aunt and I are going to burn incense. You and Yuan'er wait here. Don't run around. Got it?"

Chen Yi looked towards the courtyard not far away and found that there were indeed only female pilgrims coming in and out of there, so he nodded obediently.

After they left, several guards stood by, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

Just as Chen Yi was looking at the golden-roofed temple in the distance bored, he heard several bells ringing in the mountain.

“Dangdang, dang…”

Although the sound of the bell was melodious and rhythmic, it did not attract the attention of anyone on the mountain.

However, the following Buddhist chants shocked everyone.

"The Buddha's son of the great void has been born, and my Buddha has mercy on me..."

Buddha?

Chen Yi was stunned and quickly looked towards the other side of the mountain hidden in the fog.

There was a strong golden light there, and a small figure was projected out by the light, surrounded by a golden lotus platform, just like the Buddha coming to the world.

But at this moment, a panel light screen appeared in front of him.

[You see the lotus platform of the Buddha in the vast sky shining everywhere, and your mind is slightly affected]

[Has absorbed Buddhist power, counterattack points +3]

　If you guys see this, please give me some investment help, thank you very much.
