Taiping Inn

People often say that the two characters of surname and name are actually separated into surname, clan name, given name, and given name.

Surname is the origin of the ancestors; clan name is the distinction between descendants; surname and given name are symbols that indicate family blood relationship.

Before three generations, surname and given name were divided into two, men were called clan names, and women were called surnames. Clan names are used to distinguish between noble and humble people. Noble people have clan names, while humble people have given names but no clan names. Surnames are used to distinguish marriages, so there are differences between people with the same surname and different surnames. Marriage is allowed for people with the same clan name but different surnames; marriage is not allowed for people with the same surname but different clan names.

After three generations, surname and given name were combined into one, both of which are used to distinguish marriages and to distinguish between noble and humble people by place of residence.

Next are given names and given names, which are different when addressing others and when addressing oneself.

When addressing others, it is polite to call them by their given names, but it is impolite to call them by their given names directly.

If you call yourself by your courtesy name, it is equivalent to praising your own virtue, which is a manifestation of arrogance. When you are hostile to others, you can call yourself by your courtesy name to show your dominance. In normal times, you should call yourself by your given name to show humility.

At this time, Su Yunyan called Li Xuandu's courtesy name "Zi Fu" to be polite. Calling yourself by your given name "Yun Yan" is humble. Regardless of whether what she said is true or false, the great fairy Su of the Cihang Sect has such a low attitude, and Li Xuandu is not a fool who doesn't know the rules at all. In this way, whether for the sake of Yan Feiqing's face or for the sake of Su Yunyan's face, Li Xuandu can't say anything more and has to agree.

But you can't just agree like this.

Li Xuandu said: "There are many evil spirits outside, such as the ten evil sects, and there are conflicts of all sizes among the twelve sects. I understand Aiyun's dilemma. Although it is said that extraordinary times should be handled in extraordinary ways, such means are not acceptable after all. If they are spread out, it will inevitably damage Aiyun's reputation. And Yan Xuanji, your wedding is coming soon. As the saying goes, husband and wife are one. Even if Aiyun does not care about herself, she should still take Yan Xuanji into consideration. So it is better to be cautious. It is best to consider this matter again, so as to seek a win-win situation. If we fail, both will be hurt. What does Aiyun think? "

Su Yun'an looked at Li Xuandu deeply, "Zifu is right. Yun'an has learned from his teachings."

"I dare not, I dare not." Li Xuandu waved his hand and said, "It's just a few words of advice between friends. How can I take it as a 'teaching'?"

Li Xuandu can laugh and scold Su Yunjiao because Su Yunjiao is not very cunning. She can put aside all kinds of interests and identities and just talk frankly as a person. Whether she is angry or happy, it is limited to the two of them.

But Su Yun'an is different. She represents Cihang Sect, and even Zhengyi Sect and most of the righteous way. Her anger and joy are not from her personal feelings, but represent a certain attitude. Just like when Zhengyi Sect punished the Faxiang Sect elder who liked music, were the many elders of Zhengyi Sect really furious? They were all old warriors who had seen bloody battles, so how could they get angry about such things? In fact, as the leader of the righteous path, the Zhengyi Sect had to show an "angry" attitude, not only for the Faxiang Sect, but also for other righteous sects.

So at this time, Li Xuandu had to weigh every word carefully, not daring to leave any omissions.

Su Yunjiao stood aside respectfully, half lowered her head, not looking at the expression on her face, but her ears were erected, listening carefully to the conversation between the two, and the more she listened, the more frightened she became.

As a younger sister, she knew her sister's character best. She was extremely arrogant, but in front of this person, she could put her attitude so low. It seemed that this person surnamed Li was the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, which should be beyond doubt. But didn't the sister and the others fight with this person to death back then? How come they are old friends now? And saying these veiled words, it's really hard to understand.

Moreover, this Li was also different from the previous one. He was serious, sanctimonious, and pretentious. He was really a bit like a famous person in the martial arts world.

Just when Su Yunjiao was thinking about it, she heard Su Yun'an say: "Zifu, Yun'an has an unkind request."

Li Xuandu said: "Aiyun, please speak."

Su Yun'an said slowly: "In the eleventh year of Ming Yong, the Golden Horde invaded Huanglongfu in Liaodong, killing thousands of Wei people and taking hundreds of prisoners. Zaoge Sect then sent people to Longfu to collect the dead souls. In the twenty-ninth year of Ming Yong, the Golden Horde invaded Liangzhou and Qinzhou in the northwest. In the thirtieth year, it invaded Liangzhou again, killing tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Zaoge Sect sent disciples to collect the dead souls. In addition, in the first year of Wude, the eighth year of Wude, and the tenth year of Wude, the Golden Horde invaded the south several times, killing and wounding There are hundreds of thousands of people, and Zaoge Sect thrived because of this. The poor people suffered from wars during their lifetime, and their wives and children were separated and died. It was extremely painful, and they still couldn't rest in peace after death. Zifu, you just mentioned the tomb robbers in Beimang Mountain, saying that they were making money from the dead, but Zaoge Sect's actions are even worse than tomb robbers. What I want to say is that Zaoge Sect is no longer satisfied with the status quo, and they even want to directly create man-made disasters. "

Li Xuandu was stunned, "How dare they do this?"

Su Yun'an said softly: "Zifu is a person who cares about the world, so I have this unwelcome request. "

"What is it?" Li Xuandu's face became solemn.

Su Yun'an said: "Now that the Taiyin Corpse is about to be born, the Zaoge Sect is determined to get the Taiyin Corpse. However, in addition to the Taiyin Corpse, they will also take advantage of the situation to sacrifice human lives in the county town of Beimang County to practice evil magic. As for how they knew about this, it is thanks to Zifu and Yan Xuanji. You have caught the old man Zang of the Zaoge Sect collecting the souls of the dead in Jingzi Town and Dongshan. In connection with the many abnormal actions of the Zaoge Sect recently, its purpose is self-evident. This is also the change I mentioned earlier."

Li Xuandu asked again: "What does Aiyun mean?"

Su Yun'an said: "Even if Zifu did not send a message with the mother-child talisman, I would return to Beimang County in three days to prepare for this matter. Now that I come back early, there is no need to make a second trip. Please help me with Zifu and first clear the city. 's Zaoge Sect arrangements are removed. "

Li Xuandu frowned and said, "It's not that I want to enhance others' prestige and destroy my own ambition. Beimang County is only a stone's throw away from Beimang Mountain. The mountain gate of Zaoge Sect is in Beimang Mountain. In addition to the old man Zang who ranks fourth on the Taixuan List, even if there are Aiyun and Brother Xuanji, I'm afraid they are not opponents. "

Su Yun'an sighed lightly: "Zifu is right, so I have used flying swords to send letters to contact fellow practitioners who are now in Longmen Prefecture. In addition to Senior Nan Kezi of Donghua Sect, there is also a great master of Vajra Sect and his disciples who will come to help us. "

Li Xuandu showed some surprise and asked, "But the master Wuzhen who ranks seventh on the Taixuan List and is known as the 'Golden Body Arhat'?"

Su Yun'an nodded and said, "It is Master Wuzhen , he happened to be begging for alms and doing good deeds with his disciples in Longmen Prefecture. After receiving my letter, he decided to come and help us. "

Li Xuandu said slowly: "I have heard of this Master Wuzhen. After reaching the extreme of the Buddhist 'Vajra Body', he has already achieved the 'Vajra Dharmakaya'. At the same time, he has studied Buddhist scriptures in depth, has profound Buddhist teachings, and has high moral character. He is praised by people in the world as 'calm and immovable like the earth, and deep and profound meditation like a secret treasure. ' In my early years, I always wanted to ask this Buddhist master for a sword, but unfortunately I never met him. If Master Wuzhen also comes to help, then this matter will be very promising. Even if we face the old man Shangzang, we will have the strength to fight. "

Su Yun'an said: "That's right, because Beimang County is very close to Beimang Mountain, the Zaoge Sect is powerful, and the Jingchan Sect in Zhongzhou has closed the mountain and closed the temple, We are unable to rush to help, and other sects are thousands of miles away, so we, the righteous people, must join hands, so that we can have a chance of winning. So I have to trouble Zifu to help me persuade Madam Lu and ask her not to stay out of it. After all, we are all righteous people, and joining forces to fight against evil is the most important thing. As for other things, they are secondary. For the previous things, Yunyan can personally apologize to Madam Lu. "

Li Xuandu thought about it and replied: "To be honest with Aiyun, I still learned from you that the lady's surname is Lu, and we only had a slight friendship before. As for what she thinks or what she does, it is difficult for me to speculate, let alone interfere, so I can only do my best in this matter. "

Su Yunyan slowly stood up and bowed to Li Xuandu: "No matter what, Yunyan thanks Zifu first. "
