I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 9 - 8: Master Kongjing and Gu Tiangang

[You saw the Great Void Buddha Child's Lotus Platform radiating light, your mind was slightly affected]

[You have absorbed Buddha's wishing power, Rebellion Point +3]

Mind?

Chen Yi came to his senses and quietly observed his surroundings.

As the light from the Lotus Platform illuminated, the expressions of the people inside Dakong Temple were mostly calm and peaceful, with smiles on their faces, as if they were devotees sincerely worshiping Buddha.

Even Chen Yuan, who was only two years old, wore the same expression.

Some worshippers had even knelt on the ground, hands clasped in prayer, murmuring words to themselves.

Seeing this, Chen Yi slightly furrowed his brows, quickly lowered his head, and pulled down his tiger head hat a bit to prevent others from noticing anything unusual about him.

He didn't know what the so-called "Great Void Buddha Child" was about.

But judging from the expressions of the people around him, the Lotus Platform and the golden light that came with the Buddha Child's birth could convert their devotion to Buddha.

However, such influence was probably just an accessory to the miraculous phenomenon of the Buddha Child's descent.

The most crucial thing was that "Great Void Buddha Child"!

"All is void, yet cause and effect are not void, this is the Great Void."

At that moment, a Buddhist chant sounded from the main hall, its ethereal voice reverberating across the mountains and spreading throughout Kyoto Prefecture.

Chen Yi felt as though a breeze was brushing past his ears, and all his thoughts were wiped away by this chant.

[You heard Buddhist verses sung by Master Dakong, your mind was slightly affected.]

Again?!

Could it be that Dakong Temple is planning to catch everyone on the mountain in one go and turn them all into worshipers of Buddha?

While Chen Yi was secretly annoyed, a loud shout suddenly pierced through the clouds far away:

"Bald donkey, put away your spectacle immediately, or don't blame this Daoist for taking action!"

In an instant, everyone woke up from their daze, looking back to reality, exchanging puzzled glances.

"Was that thunder?"

"No, that was Gu Tiangang, the Daoist from Grand Void Sect!"

"So, the Buddhist chant earlier was from Master Dakong, Master Kongjing?"

Master Kongjing, Gu Tiangang...

Chen Yi naturally knew these two names and understood what they represented.

According to the "Kyoto Prefecture Chronicles," Master Kongjing of Dakong Temple was a leader of the Buddhist community during the Wei Dynasty, having once fought alone against high monks sent by West Continent Buddha Country.

Both his understanding of Buddhist principles and his Martial Arts Cultivation left those monks utterly humiliated.

And the Daoist Gu Tiangang was equally impressive.

Though his Grand Void Sect was not the foremost Taoist sect within the Wei Dynasty, it was still revered by noble families and desired as a place of cultivation.

However, unlike Dakong Temple, Grand Void Sect's main gate was not within Kyoto Prefecture but only an affiliated branch.

In addition, Daoist Gu Tiangang was the Deputy Sect Master of the Grand Void Sect, with strength, status, and even standing in the royal court that were not inferior to Master Kongjing.

Moreover, it was said that he had a peculiar temper and seldom interacted with noble families of Kyoto Prefecture.

Even when royal relatives sought an audience, he would refuse if he so wished.

Unexpectedly, the spectacle at Dakong Temple even drew his attention...

"Master Tian Gang, do not blame us; today is the birth of our Great Void Buddha Child, and I apologize for any disturbances."

As soon as Master Kongjing finished speaking, Gu Tiangang cursed again: "Kongjing, you thieving baldy, spare me the nonsense; don't think I don't know what Dakong Temple is plotting!"

"I advise you to restrain yourself, honestly nurture whatever Great Void Buddha Child you have to avoid losing... face on Taizhou Mountain!"

"There's no need for you, Master Tian Gang, to trouble yourself over this."

"Hmph, you'd better..."

When everything settled down, the phenomena caused by the descent of the Buddha Child disappeared from the sky.

Yet, the impact it created continued.

Especially at this moment, the worshippers at Dakong Temple, one by one, seemed as if they had been injected with chicken blood, excitedly shouting with flushed faces.

"Coming to Dakong Temple to pray during the Lantern Festival was the right decision!"

"Yes, thinking of my several elder brothers who went to play on Baohua Street, I can't help but laugh; they must be regretting it now."

"Hahaha..."

Even Chen Yuan excitedly tugged at Chen Yi, his face beaming as he said, "Brother, the golden light just now was so beautiful, can they do it again?"

Chen Yi: "..."

He looked at Chen Yuan's shaking little hand and was at a loss for words.

The spectacle caused by the Buddha Child's descent wasn't like a fireworks show that could be released on demand.

"No!"

"Ah? We can't?" Chen Yuan's small face looked a bit disappointed, then his eyes brightened again, "I'll go find mother; she definitely has a way."

Saying this, he ran towards the courtyard gate not far away.

As Chen Yi inwardly sighed about his elder brother's "useful" mind, he gestured to the guards, "Aren't you going to follow him?"

The two guards, still lost in the spectacle, hurried after him.

Watching the guards successfully catching up to Chen Yuan, Chen Yi shook his head.

He was beginning to doubt whether the future mentioned on the panel was a mistake, with his elder brother's brains, would he grow up to insult him?

If he didn't end up provoked into physical confrontation by Chen Yuan, it would be like having his ancestors possess him.

Soon, Zhou Wanyi returned holding Chen Yuan and Xia Wanwan.

"Let's leave, Dakong Temple is likely to become overcrowded soon," Zhou Wanyi said, frowning at the somewhat crowded temple.

Xia Wanwan nodded, picked up Chen Yi, and left Dakong Temple escorted by the guards.

On the way back, everyone was much quieter, except for Xiao Chenyuan, who was hugging Zhou Wanyi's thigh, occasionally asking:

"Mother, can't we ask the bald donkey to release the light again? It was so beautiful."

"Shut up! Who taught you to call monks like that?"

"The people from the sky," Chen Yuan seriously pointed towards the roof of the carriage, "There's also 'thieving baldy'."

Chen Yi was also shocked by his boldness.

If Master Kongjing knew that a two-year-old child called him "thieving baldy," he would likely be so angry that he'd fight Gu Tiangang.

"You?!"

Zhou Wanyi feigned a strike, scaring little Chen Yuan into shrinking his neck.
