Chapter 164: What was summoned was not the sun, but the missed opportunity
The previous second, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, but now it has turned into night.
Even the moon was invisible. The entire sky seemed like a bottomless abyss, filled with nothingness.
Han——
Han——
A sound of breaking metal and stone came from the sky and echoed across the continent. The sound was like the sound of a mirror being broken, and it was extremely clear.
At this moment, countless cultivators on this continent, whether they were powerful or ordinary people without any cultivation, all raised their heads and looked at the sky in fear, while those ordinary people who were not qualified to cultivate the Tao prostrated themselves to the sky in confusion, thinking that the end of the world was coming.
All the supreme powers standing at the top of the pyramid on the continent, without exception, looked at the sky of eternal night, their pupils full of shock and fear. Some old monsters who had been sleeping for thousands of years also opened their eyes at this moment.
Wu'an Kingdom can only be regarded as a very small empire on this continent.
At this moment, in Wuan Country, in the Anbang Imperial City.
In a school, an elderly man in his seventies was looking at the dim sky, his cloudy eyes filled with fear.
Behind the old man in his seventies stood a young girl in a green dress.
The girl was stunningly beautiful, with her hair tied up high with a crescent-shaped jade hairpin, which added a touch of royal holiness to her appearance. Her body was slender, and she stood quietly like a golden ice lotus.
After a long while, the old man in his seventies turned around, rushed into a stone chamber, and took out a wooden box.
The wooden box was wrapped in layer upon layer of talismans. After opening these talismans, the old man opened the wooden box with trembling hands and took out a cloth bag from the wooden box with both hands.
After opening the cloth bag, they found only a yellowed parchment scroll inside.
He saw a sentence on the parchment scroll.
Then, he suddenly thought of something, rushed out of the stone room, and asked the girl in green skirt standing under the locust tree in the courtyard: "Cheng Yang, what is your real name?"
Hearing this, the young man in the green skirt also looked puzzled and slowly replied: "Master, I have always been called 'Wu Chengyang'."
After saying this, the old man paced back and forth, holding the parchment scroll in his hands: "No, no, what's wrong?"
After a while, the old man continued to ask: "Don't you have any other names?"
Hearing the Master's inexplicable question, Wu Chengyang also shook his head: "No more."
"However, I have a nickname, which is only known to me, my father and my mother." Wu Chengyang thought of something and said again.
"What did you call me?" The old man asked urgently, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Zhaoyang."
"My mother hoped that I could attract the sun to Wu'an State, so she named me Zhaoyang."
"But later, my father was not satisfied with this name, so when I was one year old, he changed my name to 'Cheng Yang'. He hoped that I would not attract the sun, but would directly become the sun of Wu'an State."
Because of the name change, his father and mother had a big fight, so Cheng Yang never mentioned the matter of changing his name to anyone else, not even to his master who had taught him for ten years.
Hearing the name "Zhao Yang", the old man was stunned for a moment, then he knelt on the ground, kowtowed continuously, and began to laugh wildly.
"Hahahaha!"
"God wants to destroy Wu Anguo. Wu Anguo has missed out on the blessings accumulated by generations of ancestors. Damn it. Damn it."
"Your father is deeply sinful, deeply sinful!"
Wu Chengyang was shocked to hear his master, who was always elegant and steady, acting like this.
My master is the national teacher of Wuan country and has served as the national teacher for four dynasties. He is also the second best martial artist in Wuan country today, the president of Wuguang Academy, and the pillar of Wuan country.
This is the first time I've seen him lose his composure like this.
The master is not only his own master, but also his father’s master. So even if his father is an emperor, he has to call him “Master” respectfully when he sees him.
Only he dares to scold the emperor of the time.
Nan Yuan stood up, his soul seemed to be hollowed out, he was totally at a loss, staggering and almost fell down.
Seeing this, Wu Chengyang hurried forward to help him, but Nanyuan just waved his hand and said, "I'm fine." "Xiaoyang, because of your father, you missed a great opportunity. Also because of your father, the luck accumulated by the entire Wu'an Kingdom for generations has been destroyed."
Nan Yuan sighed as he spoke.
"Master, why do you say that?"
"Is it because my father changed my name?"
Wu Chengyang asked.
Because Master had such a big reaction after hearing that his father changed his name.
Why would changing my name make me miss the opportunity and ruin Wu Anguo?
"This is just one of them."
"God has destined a cause and effect. If it develops normally, you will get an opportunity, Wu'an Kingdom will also be transformed, and even become a powerful empire on the continent."
"But now, everything is gone. Not only that, Wu Anguo is also likely to be destroyed!"
Hearing Master's words, Wu Chengyang's beautiful eyes widened and she was a little frightened.
"Your father has forgotten the teachings of the late emperor"
"The late emperor once left behind a teaching for your father to govern the country with reason and treat his meritorious officials well."
"But hasn't your father done enough beastly things over the years? The Lin family is an example. Because of rumors, they were afraid of impeachment and feared that their achievements would overshadow their master, so they killed the heroes who had made great contributions to the Wu Kingdom."
"The opportunity that originally belonged to you, the fortune of Wu Anguo, was destroyed by the things your father did."
Nan Yuan became angrier as he spoke.
"Master, what exactly is the opportunity that belongs to me and Wu Anguo?"
The girl inquired.
"I don't know."
"But there is a glimpse of truth in your former name."
"Your mother is right. If you name yourself Zhaoyang, you will bring the dazzling sun to Wu'an Country."
"And your father is wrong. It is difficult for you to become the sun of Wu'an Kingdom. You can only attract the sun."
"So, your chance should be a person, a thing, or an event."
"It will bring you opportunities."
When Nan Yuan saw the "eternal night coming" today, he remembered the ancient teachings left by his master.
"Night falls in Wu'an, calling in the sun and driving away the darkness"
At this moment, "Wu'an Night" has appeared, but Zhaoyang no longer exists, which means that the opportunity belonging to Wu'anguo is probably gone.
At this time, Nan Yuan thought of something and asked Wu Chengyang, "Have your parents arranged a marriage for you?"
Hearing this, Wu Chengyang shook his head.
"No."
Because the arranged marriage was decided by the mother of the Lin family, the emperor and empress of Wuan Kingdom when they were chatting at a banquet, and no one else knew about it.
Later, after the "Lin Family Incident", the emperor would never talk about this matter again.
"But I once heard my mother say something."
Wu Chengyang thought of something and spoke slowly.
