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

Chapter 126: Old Friend Goes South (Subscription Request)

I don’t know when it started, but a lot of geniuses from outside the country appeared in the Wei Dynasty for unknown reasons.

There are Buddhist monks from the Western Continent, as well as monks from the islands in the East China Sea.

They may gather in groups of three or four, or be alone.

But after entering the territory of the Wei Dynasty, they all went south into the land of the southern barbarians.

Such anomalies caused discussions among many people in the world.

Soon, the news that a secret realm in the southern barbarian land was about to be opened spread like wildfire in the martial arts world.

As a result, Chen Yi, the number one on the land list who had not left the mountain for a long time, became more and more noticeable, and many people speculated that his purpose of going down the mountain was also to go to the Southern Barbarian Territory.

For a time, many people who liked to watch the excitement set out to the south to catch a glimpse of the genius.

But in Kyoto Prefecture, there was no news as usual.

Even if the news of Chen Yi killing demons and evil spirits in Xijiang Prefecture spread, it would only be spread for a few days.

Most of the time, people in the neighborhood talk more about things happening around them.

"Jingye Marquis Zhou Tiance announced the expansion of the Jingye Army, with each person receiving a monthly salary of two gold coins."

When this news came out, it almost caused a sensation in the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

You have to know that the Wei Dynasty loved martial arts, but most people had no access to martial arts.

It's not just because of talent, but more because of the limitations of connections, money and skills.

Joining the army is definitely a shortcut for ordinary people to embark on the path of martial arts, not to mention the extra money of two dollars a month.

If we save some of this money, it would be enough for an average family of four to eat for a year.

Therefore, not long after the news spread, not only young and middle-aged people in Kyoto Prefecture signed up, but also several neighboring prefectures signed up to join the Jingye Army.

Even though they heard that the demon army outside Beixiong Pass had set their sights on the Jingye Army, it was still difficult to dampen their enthusiasm.

To use a popular saying, "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God, and no one can tell when you will rise to the top and become a phoenix."

To put it simply and bluntly - sign up for the army now!
Seeing this situation, the other marquises of Kyoto Prefecture could not figure out what the old marquis was thinking, but they all frowned.

Only Zhou Tiance himself felt much better.

"What's the Lu family's reaction?"

Zhou Tiance hunched over, with a rare smile on his wrinkled face, and asked:
"Have they suspected 'Butterfly' and 'Water Ghost'?"

Chen Kuang was waiting beside him, and while passing the medicine soup to his mouth, he replied:

"According to the letter from there, there is chaos in Jeju Prefecture."

"It's fine for 'Butterfly' to stay with the governor of Jeju, but a lot of soldiers from 'Water Ghost''s side have been recruited to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"Check it out,"

Zhou Tiance drank the medicine in one gulp and said with a smile: "No matter how hard they try, they won't be able to find out the truth of this incident."

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Tell me."

"You took such a big risk just to expand the Jingye Army. Isn't it a bit of a loss?"

"There is no war in the north right now. Although there were constant harassment from demons before, we should be able to resist them next time if we are careful..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Tiance interrupted and said, "I have my own plan for doing this."

"Just take care of the affairs of 'Qianlong'. There are others who can take care of the affairs of the Jingye Army. You don't need to worry about it."

Chen Kuang's eyes darkened.

During this period of time, he has been prepared to hand over "Qianlong" to Chen Yuan.

Once it is handed over, what happens to the "Qianlong" will have nothing to do with him.

Zhou Tiance glanced at him and asked calmly, "Any news about Yuan'er?"

The smile from before was no longer on his face.

Chen Yan shook his head and said, "The latest news says that Young Master Yuan is still in the southern barbarian land."

"He killed the great shaman of the Southern Barbarian Cult. I'm afraid those barbarians won't let him leave easily."

"If you don't want to leave, then don't leave." Zhou Tiance snorted, "With Yuan'er's current strength, he only needs to grow a little more to kill his way through the Southern Barbarian Land."

The serious illness was somewhat unexpected.

He has been with Zhou Tiance for decades and has already figured out the old marquis's temperament.

The confident tone before made it difficult for him not to guess that Zhou Tiance had other ways to get information about Chen Yuan.

Could it be the “hidden dragon seed” from Wuliang Mountain?
Has the master contacted him privately?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart and asked, "Master, aren't you worried that Young Master Yuan is in danger?"

"If a young eagle wants to fly high, it must go through some wind and rain." Zhou Tiance did not answer him directly.

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at the pond not far away, with a gloomy look on his face.

"Chen Ke, you have followed me for so many years, I am sorry for what you have done."

Chen Yan was stunned and his face became even uglier.

The master didn't call him that very often, but each time it expressed anger.

"Master, what are you..."

"Nothing," Zhou Tiance waved his hand and said, "When people get old, they tend to have wild thoughts."

"I just feel that the Marquis' Mansion has been in chaos for so many years thanks to you taking care of it, otherwise it would have been in chaos a long time ago."

As he spoke, Zhou Tiance's expression returned to calm, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his turbid eyes.

almost.

He has waited for so many years and prepared for so long, and now it is finally over!
"master……"

Chen Kuang looked at Zhou Tiance, who was behaving out of character, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger.

He was not sure what had happened during that time, but he could guess that something had happened either in the Jingye Army or in the "Qianlong".

It seems that he will have to order someone to conduct a special investigation later.

Otherwise, he would be worried!

……

On the other side, in the post station outside the boundary monument of Wangchuan County in Sichuan Prefecture.

Xie Changle, who had just finished feeding the horses, looked at Chen Yi with complicated eyes.

In his eyes, this junior fellow was nothing but a blockhead.

Although he didn't know what Chen Yi was thinking, Xie Changle had already labeled him as "unromantic" in his mind along the way.

As long as they are not blind, anyone can see the flower fairy's feelings for Chen Yi.

That silent concern, meticulous care, and consideration for Chen Yi everywhere...

All of them deeply hurt Xie Changle's heart!
Thinking of how handsome, elegant, and romantic Xie Changle was in this life, he also became a disciple of the Taixu Taoist Sect at Jianfeng Mountain.

Both his background and appearance are far superior to his previous life, making him a perfect choice.

But his mother's ending was even worse than in his previous life. At least at that time, there were many evil women in the Baishen Sect who were willing to throw themselves at him.

Look at Chen Yi again.

He was just a little more handsome than him, a little more powerful, and had better conditions as he was born into a noble family...

It's just a tiny difference.

How could he be favored by the second of the “Ten Taoist Fairies”?

Even if Lin Xueru didn't say it, Junior Sister Flower Fairy is a top disciple of Danfeng Mountain.

Talent, strength, figure and appearance are all top-notch choices, so how come you have set your heart on Junior Brother Chen?
This is not fair!

For example, now, a few people have just come to the tavern of the post station to rest.

As soon as Chen Yi sat down, a set of bowls and chopsticks appeared in front of him. When he picked up the chopsticks, there were more meat and vegetables in the bowl.

The cups were clinked together and filled with tea.

This kind of treatment makes him more like a rich young man than Chu Ming and others.

At least when they were traveling from Jeju Prefecture to the southern barbarian land, they were only accompanied by guards and no maids.

Especially since Xie Changle knew the identity and appearance of the flower fairy, he was so envious of Chen Yi that he couldn't even express it in words.

"Brother, drink some water."

The flower fairy sat down beside Chen Yi, poured a cup of tea and said.

Although she was wearing a veil, her soft and crisp voice made the wanderers who were resting in the tavern shiver.

Those martial artists all looked at Chen Yi and the other three, then at the Flower Fairy and then at Xiao Xuanzhen, unable to tell which one of them had said the previous words.

Xiao Xuanzhen ignored the gazes around him and stared at the flower fairy. He asked with a strange look on his face:

"Junior sister, he has hands and feet, so you don't have to serve him like this, right?"

The flower fairy just smiled and lowered her head to eat her meal.

"Junior brother, what do you say?" Xiao Xuan was helpless and turned to look at Chen Yi and asked.

Of course, say it with your mouth.

Chen Yi was thinking about something else and said unhappily, "Why don't you eat something first? All these delicious foods can't keep you hungry."

Xiao Xuanzhen stared at him under the veil, and her eyes seemed somewhat threatening, as if saying - be careful, I'm watching you for Junior Sister Xueru.

Chen Yi ignored her and asked while drinking tea, "Junior Sister Hua, now that we have entered the Wangchuan area, how long will it take to get to your home?"

"Very soon," the flower fairy's eyes flashed with shyness, "We will be there in half an hour at most."

Originally, she was a little timid about going home to visit her family, but now with Senior Brother Chen Yi by her side, that feeling of "being more homesick as you get closer" has faded.

The feeling in her heart was like her neighbor sister who had married far away when she was a child and now came back with her husband.

A little weird, but more shy.

"I never asked you. I remember that at that time, there were only you three sisters in the inn outside the sect."

"Didn't anyone from your family come to see you off?"

Chen Yi remembered that when the sisters Hua Youxiang and Hua Yourong came to steal food, there was indeed no adult to take care of them.

The Flower Fairy's eyes changed slightly, and she said a little unnaturally: "My family only allowed us to follow the convoy of our fellow villagers."

"Convoy?"

"Yes, it was a escort team. We left when we were close to the capital of Jeju Prefecture."

When the flower fairy recalled that experience, she felt both fortunate and happy.

Since there were adults with them at the time, the money they brought would not be lost.

But if that were the case, I'm afraid the relationship between the sisters and Senior Brother Chen Yi wouldn't be as close as it is now.

The flower fairy looked at Chen Yi, whose expression was calm, and felt even more grateful.

All in all, he had saved her life twice.

Such a great favor, I'm afraid she will never be able to repay it in her lifetime?

"I see."

Chen Yi nodded and said nothing more, just eating by himself.

At this time, the martial artists behind them realized that they were not easy to mess with, so they withdrew their gazes and whispered to each other.

"Looking at the way these people are dressed, I'm afraid they are also going to the secret place of Nanman, right?"

"You still need to tell me?"

"Although these people are wearing casual clothes, I bet they are definitely from the sect's holy land."

"I heard that the 'Little Sword Immortal' Chen Yi has also gone down the mountain?"

"Yes, there was a new record on the Tianjiao Ranking a few days ago. It's really amazing."

"I heard there are more than a thousand demons, including more than ten second-grade great demons in the Divine Wandering Realm?"

"Who told you that? I can confirm that there were at least two thousand demons that went to kill the Little Sword Immortal."

"There are dozens of demons in the Divine Wandering Realm, and over a hundred demons in the Third-Rank Heavenly Combination Realm. In addition, there are many other evil demons, including the 'Demon Girl' of the God Worshiping Sect."

"..."

Chen Yi couldn't help but look strange when listening to the discussions behind him.

Don’t these martial artists know how to look at the list of geniuses?

There are hundreds of great demons. Do they really think that this warrior of the fourth level of spiritual realm is a god?
"puff."

Xiao Xuanzhen obviously heard those words as well. He laughed and said, "Junior Brother 'Little Sword Immortal', you fought against a thousand people alone that time? Then I have to thank you for saving my life."

"They are stupid, are you stupid too?" Chen Yi said bluntly.

"you?!"

Xiao Xuan was so angry that he poked the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks, his eyes full of unhappiness.

Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy…

"With the arrival of those geniuses, I'm sure our Chuan Prefecture will become bustling for a while."

The well-informed Jianghu guest nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't even mention so far away, even now there are many geniuses making a fuss."

"Brother Liu, please tell us which geniuses there are so that we can go and see them."

The Jianghu guest named Liu gestured to pour the wine, took a sip and then said, "A few days ago, a young monk came to our Wangchuan County."

"The monk had a face as white as jade and wore a pure white cassock. He went to the Lotus Temple alone to discuss the truth with the abbot there."

"Guess what happened?"

"As a result, within half a day, the young monk left. Then a pilgrim went there and saw that all the monks in the Lotus Temple were dead. He was almost frightened to death on the spot."

"Ah? That little monk killed them all? Why did he do that?"

The jianghu named Liu said mysteriously: "After the investigation by the Night Watch, it was found that the people occupying the Lotus Temple were not monks, but a group of evil spirits!"

"That fat abbot who is always cheerful is actually the notorious 'Happy Buddha' Lele!"

"Is it him?" everyone exclaimed.

Even Chen Yi felt a little surprised when he heard this familiar name.

He didn't expect that the "Happy Buddha" who escaped from Jiangnan Prefecture was hiding in Chuan Prefecture.

"It's a pity that the Buddhists in Wangchuan County have been kept in the dark. I heard that many people have fallen victim to their murderous hands."

"Brother Liu, what's the matter with Tianjiao?"

"Don't worry, the little monk I mentioned earlier is quite famous - he is the 'Dakong Buddhist Son' Fuchen from Kyoto Prefecture."

"anything else?"

"There is also the Prince of Zhennan, Gongye Shou, who is ranked 43rd on the Earth Ranking. I heard that he has also come to the Sichuan Prefecture."

"..."

Hearing this, Chen Yi thought to himself what a coincidence that "Dakong Buddhist disciple" Fuchen and Gongye Shou were also in Sichuan Prefecture.

I don’t know if they are still in Wangchuan County. If they are, I could see them.

Not to mention "Dakong Buddha's Disciple", Gongye Shou made him remember him for a long time.

To this day, Chen Yi still remembers the time when he was tricked by Gongye Shou and others when he was at Xingwu Academy.

If I see him, I might just settle old scores with him!
On the other side, Gongye Shou, who had just arrived in Wangchuan County, sneezed a few times when he looked at the not-so-prosperous county town in front of him.

Who is talking about him?
