In the Hall of Cuixin, the two met each other after a lifetime, but it was the same as before.

"These years... How are you doing, sir?"

Ning Yuan hesitated a bit in his words. He wanted to ask why the master didn't go back to the Tower of Mercy Light, but on the way to Cuixin Palace, he saw the scenery of Defeng Ancient Road, so he chose to give up.

After all, he is no longer a child, and there are some things that need to be clarified.

Lin Chongyang did not answer, but asked instead: "What about you? These years have been very hard."

For Lin Chongyang, brother and sister Ningyuan and sister Huaisheng Qi'ao, although they have no blood relationship with him, are like an extension of his bloodline.

They are his most outstanding creations, and he has placed high hopes on them. Now it seems that they did not disappoint him.

However, as Xia Yan said, no matter how mature they appear, they are still children in essence.

After hearing Lin Chongyang's words, Ning Yuan was shocked, and then hesitated:
"The Tower of Mercy Light has developed very well in recent years. Everyone actually hopes that Mister can go back and have a look."

As far as Yu Ningyuan is concerned, getting rid of those messy thoughts, he mostly has admiration and longing for Lin Chongyang.

Because in the process of his growth, the other party, as a teacher, replaced some things that he lacked.

"In 330 years, you have all grown up, the Tower of Mercy is your stage after all, and the plight is my responsibility." Lin Chongyang explained.

"Is that so..."

Ning Yuan's mood was suddenly depressed, and there was a bit of unspeakable emotion in his words.

At this moment, I only heard the person on the opposite side continue to say: "When you or Qiao succeed to the throne, I will go back to watch the ceremony."

No matter what the original purpose is, after creating these lives, the creator will inevitably develop feelings for the lives he created.

Although Ning Yuan and the others were his creations and he placed high hopes on them, Lin Chongyang did not regard them as tools for him to achieve a certain purpose.

It's just that the environment they live in is different, and their respective responsibilities and missions are also different.

Otherwise, he could have kept them in the four worlds for a lifetime, so why would he arrange for Xia Yan to go to the Tower of Mercy and provide them with the opportunity to practice. Although there is a shortage of people in the northwest, it is not necessary for them.

A simple promise pulled people out of depression, and Ning Yuan said with emotion:

"She is more fit to be a king than I am."

To be a king, you can swallow mountains and rivers, and your chest can accommodate hundreds of rivers. While not sticking to small details, you also need to make decisions before you move.

Many years ago, Ning Yuan had a fairly specific understanding of herself. It was okay to be a chief assistant, but it was fine to be a king.

"No need to belittle yourself."

"The same is for thousands of people. Whether I am a king or not is not important to me."

"Ha~" Lin Chongyang chuckled and said, "To be able to detect this point is already superhuman."

For this praise, Ning Yuan chooses to accept it humbly, every junior hopes that he can get the affirmation and support of his elders.

"Student has something that I would like to ask sir." After saying that, Ning Yuan saluted Lin Chongyang respectfully.

"But it doesn't matter."

"When Mister went to the Siqi Realm, he didn't change his appearance, why didn't he use his real name?"

"Who told you that "Tianzi Gun" is a name? "

"Ah? Isn't it?"

"Although what I have learned in the Tower of Mercy Light is what I have left over from the past, but the world of misery and the world of four evils are two different worlds after all.

Whether it is culture, customs, or history, they are all very different. "

Lin Chongyang shook his head, and after denying Ning Yuan's guess, he explained:
"Just like you, Qi Ao, Wu Yi, and even Tian Zun Huang Yin of Poetic Heavenly City, Yin Rong with blue eyes, and star traces of purple mans, use your names on weekdays.

However, people in adversity not only have names, but also titles. "

"But, isn't Senior Xia Yan using his real name?" Ning Yuan asked puzzled.

"Before the senior brother went to the Siqi Realm, I had already solved all the problems in the Siqi Realm, so he naturally didn't need to worry about it."

"Please sir, please explain to me."

"This is a very old story. It starts from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in mythology. It is recorded in ancient books and legends..."

In the hall of pure heart, Lin Chongyang turned out tables and stools. After the two sat down, he prepared to boil water for tea, and at the same time told a legend that was recorded in the classics.

In a difficult situation, the names of many high-ranking people sound a little abnormal. Although they are poetic and picturesque, they seem to be a bit capricious. However, this is not without reason, but a tradition.

Regarding this tradition, there are corresponding past legends, and everything starts from the legendary Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

It is recorded in the classics that in the past when King Wu defeated Zhou, there were one after another bizarre death incidents during the battle.

At first, people thought it was poisoned, but after inspection, no trace of poisoning was found.

Amid layers of doubts, time continued to pass, and more and more people died. Finally, one day, people discovered the commonality among them.

Regardless of men, women, young or old, regardless of whether these people have cultivation bases or not, they all have a lot of fame, whether they are guards, or famous masters in the world.

This change has directly affected the situation of the battle between the two sides. When the truth is found and the people behind the scenes are killed, it is already unknown how many people died because of it.

However, the case was solved after all, and the person behind the scenes was able to kill people invisible by performing spells with their real names.

The person who killed him survived because he had been hidden from the world for too long, and others only knew his name but not his name.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation all over the world, and immediately set off a frenzy of name changes.

Because, no one knows whether there are other people who have similar means, and no one wants to die, the only way to protect themselves.

Facts have proved that this is indeed a method, and there have been similar side-door methods in the follow-up, such as "calling the soul", "nail head seven arrows book", etc., or as long as you know the name, or you need to supplement it with the birth date. .

Because of the preparedness, the subsequent casualties were greatly reduced compared with the previous ones.

After King Wu ruled the world, all such incantations were abolished, and all the outsiders who practiced this kind of method were also punished.

Since then, perhaps to prevent the resurgence of this lost spell, or perhaps just as a custom, this peculiar way of naming has been passed down from generation to generation, and even changes according to the changes of the times. evolve.

People who walk in the rivers and lakes not only have a "name", but also a "name". Ordinary people may not care about it, but organizations that have been passed down for a long time, such as the three religions and aristocratic families, have continued to use it to this day.

There can only be one name, but there can be countless titles. It is very important to have a famous name when traveling in the rivers and lakes. There are even some unwritten rules born because of this.

For example, there are only wrong names, but no wrong titles.

People in the Jianghu can have no power, no power, or even great strength, but everyone wants a famous name.

"Students are taught."
