Chapter 389 My name is Wu Song
So that's it. Only then did Wu Song understand that although these people didn't say anything, they had secretly killed them for a long time. Fortunately, they had no intention of cheating. Otherwise, they would really dig their own graves.
"And then?" Wu Song quickly asked, "Is there any other exam after this glass candle?"
"No more." Zhang Xueshi shook his head and said, "From now on, you are one of the bachelors in Xuecheng, and you are different from us, and your status will be higher."
Wu Song did not expect that Zhang Xue would say so. Even if the reality is really so, such an outspokenness will never happen in the Central Plains. At least he should take a little, ask for credit, and then give Wu Song a small identity.
"Bachelet Zhang, I don't understand what you mean." Wu Song also felt that he was just a newly promoted bachelor. He knew almost nothing about the city. Why did he have a higher status than them?
"Because we have been reading books as apprentices, taking many years of lessons, and coming to the present step by step, relying on the resilience of ants moving, but you are different. You rely on the most elusive thing in the world - magic. You should also know that every bachelor in the city has a title, just like my name is Zhang. For us, the name cannot be changed, just add a surname in front of the bachelor. But the bachelor who passed the glass candle exam can choose his own name. Bachelor Zhang replied.
Two names popped up in Wu Song's mind, "Iron Bachelor" and "Sleeping Bachelor". It's okay for the iron bachelor to arrive, and it can be guessed from Zhang Shu that he is a really great figure. But Bachelor Mian was the original name of Yanggu County Magistrate. Wu Song did not expect that the county magistrate, who seemed to be insignificant, finally became a bachelor by relying on the examination of glass candles. Such a great person only drank half a ladle of water when he was dying. For a moment, Wu Song was a little sad.
"You may not understand what I mean. You can say your name now, but after you say your name, you can't change it unless you give up your status as a bachelor and take another glass candle exam." Zhang Xueshi stressed, and then he scratched his hair and continued to say, "But the name has been called too much, and the original meaning has disappeared. This is just an honor given by Xuecheng to a person like you. Don't hesitate too much on this issue."
"I want to ask, are there many people passing through glass candles?" Wu Song answered the question.
"Rarely, in the past 200 years, there are only five people in total, including you. But why are you asking this?" Bachelor Zhang replied. Wu Song can feel that the tone of Zhang's speech has changed. After all, he is now a bachelor with Wu Song, and there is no previous disparity.
"I've heard of two of them, Bachelor of Iron and Bachelor of Sleep." Wu Song did not hide it. He wanted to see how Zhang's reaction would be.
"The relationship between the iron bachelor and Xuecheng cannot be made clear in one or two sentences. But this person is the best person in Xuecheng for thousands of years. We can only look up and don't even have the qualification to judge what he has done. As for the sleep bachelor, although it is not as good as the status of iron bachelor, it is also very remarkable. Zhang Xue couldn't help nodding and praising, and did not ask Wu Song why he talked about this. You'd better think of a name quickly." Zhang urged again.
"Can I decide the name by myself? What can I call it?" Wu Song confirmed again.
"Yes, this is the honor given to you by Xuecheng, and you can decide. Even if it's called a cat or dog or something, we won't stop it as long as you want. There was a slight impatience in the tone of Bachelor Zhang.
"I won't change my name, and my name is Wu Song." Wu Song said what he thought in his heart.
"Bachelor Wu Song?" Bachelor Zhang called it again and seemed to think about it for a while. This name is too long, and it's a little troublesome to call. Our names are usually three words, such as my 'Zhang Xue'..."
"Bachelor Zhang, you misunderstood. I'm not called 'Bachelor Wu Song', I'm called 'Wu Song'. It's not four words, but two words, which are shorter than you. Wu Song interrupted Zhang's words and corrected.
"This...no one has ever done this in the school city. Although the other four people have decided their own names in the past 200 years, they still added the word bachelor. You may not understand that it is a great honor to be called a bachelor here. This is something you have fought for. Don't cherish it so much. Zhang Xue is a little anxious. He rarely speaks in such a tone.
"No one has called it that, but my request should be allowed, right?" Wu Song heard the true intention of Zhang Xueshi's words.
"That's true, but... you think clearly, the glory of a bachelor!" Zhang Xue was squating his feet when he spoke.
"There is no word 'bachelor' in my name, but I'm still a bachelor, and I won't be an apprentice or anything else, right?" Wu Song asked.
"Yes, unless you give up yourself, you will always be a bachelor." Zhang admitted it.
"Then there is nothing to worry about. Glory is just a mirror. Maybe you think the word bachelor is extremely precious in the city, but when you go out of here and go to other places, this name will only be worthless. In Wu Song's mind, there is only the former Yanggu County Magistrate. In Yanggu, no one will call him a bachelor. Bachelor Mian is the best in the city. What he can see must be much smarter than Bachelor Zhang.
Zhang Xueshi shook his head helplessly. He rarely argued with people. Under Wu Song's repeated request, he could not say anything more. He could only accept Wu Song's deviance in a sigh.
At this time, there was a sudden riot in the council chamber. These bachelors were usually very determined, and rarely were so uneasy about things. Wu Song rushed up.
He saw a man in an apprentice's robe bent down and gasped, and the bachelor next to him kept urging: "What's the matter? Are you talking? What's wrong with the noise just now?"
Wu Song remembered that it was the sound that made the candle go out.
The apprentice gasped for a while before looking up and said, "No... It's not good. The wall before the new city and the old city fell down."
The crowd was in an uproar, and even Wu Song realized the seriousness of the problem. No wonder there were so many people in the council chamber tonight.
