Chapter 278: Road number is an issue

Mo Ru received the prompt from Qianli Chuanshen, and when he opened it, he saw the video from Ye Zan. Although Ye Zan's video has obviously been edited, the main "thrilling" encounters are still in it. Therefore, he quickly watched the video and had a general understanding of Ye Zan's journey to the endless void.

As the saying goes, "Hearing is false, seeing is believing." Although this sentence is not absolute, a video like Ye Zan's is still very convincing.

The void storm is terrifying! But Ye Zan survived the void storm several times with the help of the new protection methods of the war fortress. Void creatures are very difficult to deal with! However, it doesn't make sense. After two waves of missiles were fired, the void creatures were left with only void crystals. After watching Ye Zan's video, Mo Ru was still not completely reassured, but he also knew that Ye Zan was indeed not lying.

"How about it, Lao Mo, you can rest assured this time." Lin Mumu said proudly beside him.

Mo Ru sighed helplessly, put away Qianli Zhanshen, and said to Ye Zan: "Your Majesty, although it seems from this image that your journey in the endless void this time is indeed very smooth. However, please still ask Your Majesty, don’t be careless, after all, the dangers in the endless void are far more than that.”

Although Mo Ru was still worried, at least he no longer tried to dissuade Ye Zan from going to the Endless Void. He only hoped that Ye Zan would not let down his guard.

Ye Zan nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Old Mo. I will not joke with the lives of myself and my relatives and friends."

"That way, I feel relieved." Mo Ru nodded and said.

So what if you don't worry? Nowadays, Ye Zan needs strength, equipment, and partners. How could he be like our ladies who "can't get out of the door, and can't take a step forward in the second door". Moreover, what Ye Zan was doing was beyond the capabilities of Mo Rushi and others. The "life experience" of Mo Rushi and others can no longer be used as an example to give Ye Zan any kind of warning.

Seeing that Mo Ru was finally convinced, Ye Zan suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, Lao Mo, you came all the way here this time, isn't it just because you saw the rise and fall of the fortress?"

You know, although the rise and fall of this war fortress seems to be relatively loud, I have already been to the Endless Void once before this time. Therefore, if he was attracted by this movement, he should have come here during the last maintenance of the fortress instead of waiting until this time.

Hearing Ye Zan's question, Mo Ru seemed to have just remembered something, and quickly raised his hands and said: "The Supreme Lord is right, I came here for another thing this time, but I was just distracted by the Supreme Lord's journey to the endless void. News...please forgive me!"

"Okay, if you don't forgive me, just say it." Ye Zan waved his hand helplessly and said.

Although Ye Zan has always felt uncomfortable with the respectful attitude shown by Mo Rushi, Wu Changsheng and others when facing him, he could not force them to change anything. After all, this is the etiquette of this world. It doesn’t mean that if you don’t care about someone else, others really don’t care either.

One of the reasons why Ye Zan settled directly in the War Fortress instead of living with Mo Rushi and Wu Changsheng was to avoid this embarrassment. Of course, after all, everyone is in the same Yuqing Sect, and not living together does not mean that we will no longer interact with each other. There will always be times when we need to face each other. Just like now, although Ye Zan still feels a little helpless, it's not that he can't "bear it".

"Your Majesty, this time the sect has moved back to Tongtian Peak and invited many fellow sects to come and watch the ceremony. As the most senior person in the sect, your Majesty should logically represent the sect and receive the people from each sect who come to watch the ceremony. However, we know that the Supreme Being is most intolerant of such mundane things, so we don’t necessarily need to bother the Supreme Being. However, the identity of the Supreme Being will eventually be revealed in front of the envoys, so regarding the Supreme Being. I wonder if Zuk has any arrangements for his Taoist name?" Mo Ru took a long detour before finally getting to the point. Actually, he just wanted to ask about Ye Zan's Taoist name.

After all, as a direct disciple of Xuanyuan Daozu, Ye Zan is not only extremely senior in the Yuqing Sect, he is also considered an "old senior" in the entire Shenhua Domain. Moreover, Ye Zan is now a powerful soul. Now that the powerful people of Tongtian Realm and Dharma Realm have gone to the outer world, he can be regarded as a figure standing at the top of the realm. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Ye Zan also needs to have a Taoist name so that others will not call him by his first name.

You know, in this monastic and civilized world, calling someone by their first name is actually very disrespectful. Even in the secular world, people have various ways of addressing each other by using their given names. For example, there are ways to call each other by "Zi" to show kindness, by calling each other by "Hong Kong" to show respect, and by calling each other by "Position" to show respect, etc.

Taoists regard ordinary mortals as ants, and naturally they will not be casual in this regard, so there is such a thing as Taoism.

Of course, a monk's Taoist name is not only to give others a respectful title, but also to protect against certain secret techniques.

For example, there are some secret techniques that, after knowing a person's name and birth date, and then obtaining some life-related objects, can even plot against the other person from hundreds of millions of miles away. For example, in the legend, there is such a magic weapon. As long as you know the other party's name and shout to the other party, the other party will be instantly restrained by the magic weapon as soon as he agrees.

Although it is said that when a person lives in the world, even if he has a Taoist name later, his name will not become a secret. However, in this monastic world, the lifespan of a monastic is quite long, and it is not uncommon to live for tens of thousands of years. And after tens of thousands of years, if a person keeps using a Taoist name, the people or things he originally knew by name may have been lost in the long river of time.

All in all, for ascetics, especially those with higher levels of cultivation, this name is still very useful, and it is not just a code name for others.

Ye Zan is regarded as a disciple of Xuanyuan Taozu, so this title naturally requires the name given by Xuanyuan Taozu. However, even when Xuanyuan Daozu went to the outer world, he did not mention the issue of this title to Ye Zan. This means that after Ye Zan is promoted to the realm of Yuanshen, when he interacts with others, others can only call him "Ye Zhenjun".

The title "Ye Zhenjun" is just like how people in the secular world call officials "Prefect Liu" and "General Zhang". If this is placed in a normal situation, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, they are not called by their first names. However, if placed in a very solemn and formal occasion, such a title would seem a bit lacking in weight.

This time, the Yuqing Sect's move back to Tongtian Peak can definitely be regarded as a major event, and it can even be said to be the top event in ten thousand years. In this situation, it seems a little inappropriate for Ye Zan, as the highest-ranking member of the Yuqing Sect, to be called "Ye Zhenjun" by others.

It was for this reason that Mo Ru came to Ye Zan to inquire and discuss, but he met Ye Zan who had just returned from the endless void.

"Tao number!" Ye Zan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard Mo Ru say this.

Generally speaking, this Taoist title is given by the master, and some people choose their own Taoist title. Xuanyuan Daozu didn't know whether he had forgotten it or didn't care about it at all. He didn't mention the Dao number to Ye Zan. Therefore, if he had to have a Taoist name, Ye Zan could only pretend that he had no master and come up with a Taoist name for himself.

But the problem is that Ye Zan really doesn't have any talent when it comes to naming, even with the backing of artificial intelligence. You might say that he doesn't have the talent for naming, but looking at the names randomly combined by artificial intelligence, I feel dissatisfied in various ways, and I always feel that there is something wrong with it. As a result, look at the names he gave to his daughters and sons. One is named Ye Linglong and the other is named Ye Batian. They are both artistic and meaningless.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I wonder if Zu ever talked about this before he left?" Mo Ru asked expectantly. He thought that Taoist Xuanyuan should have left a Taoist name for Ye Zan, but Ye Zan didn't take it out himself.

However, Ye Zan shook his head and said helplessly: "This... I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Xuanyuan... Master really never told me about this title. I don't know if he forgot it. , or let me make my own decision.”

"This..." Mo Ru was stunned for a moment, obviously quite surprised. He came back to his senses and said quickly: "This, Dao Ancestor's move must also have a deep meaning. It is probably to let the Supreme Being himself clearly see the Taoist heart and choose a Just follow your own instructions."

What more can be said? Mo Ru was so brave that he didn't dare to say anything wrong with Daozu Xuanyuan. Although it was clear that Xuanyuan Daozu was lazy and failed to fulfill his duties as a master, he could only find a noble reason for Xuanyuan Daozu.

"Haha, it's obviously... forget it, let's not talk about it. I will figure out the Taoist issue myself." Ye Zan originally wanted to say that Taozu Xuanyuan was lazy, but in front of Mo Rushi, he swallowed his words. . After all, to Mo Ru and the others, Xuanyuan Daozu was still quite "great, glorious and upright". He didn't want his complaints to lead to a bunch of words of persuasion.

"Brother Ye, what Taoist name are you going to choose? Do you want me to give you some advice?" Lin Mumu suddenly said with great interest after listening to the conversation between Ye Zan and Mo Rushi.

Although Ye Zan knew that Lin Mumu was joking, he was really at his wits end, so he just followed the trend and asked: "Okay, then tell me, what name should I choose?"

"Ah, you really want me to be your advisor!" Lin Mumu didn't expect Ye Zan to nod. After being surprised, he put on a serious look, touched his chin and said, "Well, the Taoist slogan must be loud enough. , people will be convinced when they hear it. In addition, the name must be unique enough and cannot have the same name as other cats and dogs, which would be too embarrassing.”

"You take it seriously!" Lin Miaomiao was beside her, listening to her brother muttering to herself, she couldn't help but feel annoyed and amused at the same time.

"Hey, Miaomiao, I really can't think of anything. Since Mumu is willing to help, let him help me think about it. Anyway, it's up to me to decide whether it's best to use it or not. If Miaomiao has any ideas, , you might as well help me out with some ideas, and save me the headache here." Ye Zan quickly explained for Lin Mumu, and also wanted Lin Miaomiao to help.

Seeing Ye Zan and the Lin family siblings treating the Dao No. matter as child's play, Mo Ru was also speechless for a while watching from the side. It was hard for him to say anything. If he opened his mouth, Ye Zan would be asked to serve as a consultant, which would be even more embarrassing. He is Ye Zan's "junior", how can he give the "Tai Shang" a Taoist title? That would be too insignificant.

However, even though Mo Rusi didn't speak, he was still standing alone, so Ye Zan wouldn't notice. Ye Zan's eyes turned and fell on Mo Rushi, and he said with a smile: "Old Mo, you are older than us. You should also come and give me some advice to see what Taoist name is suitable." Bar."

"This..." Mo Ru wanted to refuse, but the Supreme Master had already spoken. As a junior, what else could he say. However, he would not really give Ye Zan a Taoist title. Instead, he changed his mind and suggested: "Your Majesty, if you are really in trouble, you might as well follow the rules of the genealogy and look at the generations of Taoist disciples. What word?"

Ye Zan's eyes suddenly lit up, he clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea. At least it can solve one word."

Taoist names are actually very particular, especially for a sect with ancient heritage like Yuqing Sect. Generally speaking, there is a saying that serves as the ordering rule for the sect's generation. After all, Daozu Xuanyuan's generation is the generation with the character "Xuan". Therefore, there are Taoist names such as Xuanyuan, Xuanqing, Xuanzhen, and Xuanming. In fact, there were many people of the "Xuan" generation in the Yuqing Sect back then, but these "Four Xuan" were the most famous and had the highest achievements.

One advantage of taking a Tao number in this way is that as long as you know what the sect uses in terms of seniority, you can know the other person's seniority in the sect from a Tao number. Especially if the scale of this sect is too large, and if there is no pattern, even the disciples in the sect may not be able to figure out who is of what seniority. After all, ascetics live a long life, and it is often difficult to judge a person's seniority simply based on appearance and age.

For Ye Zan, there is no need to look for the genealogy specifically. There is complete genealogy information in the auxiliary chip's database. Therefore, even though he is standing here, he has actually gone through the genealogy of Yuqing Sect in his mind.

In the genealogy of the Yuqing Sect, under the word "Xuan" is the character "一", which means that in Ye Zan's lifetime, Taoist names were basically preceded by the character "一". As for the words below, it was useless for Ye Zan to read them. After all, if you really want to follow the genealogy, you have to really follow the generation. It is impossible to just jump to which generation if you see which word is good.
