Riding on the wind again, Song Mu's heart was no longer filled with excitement, only filled with heaviness.
At this moment, the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood was recalled in my mind, and Tao Fengming's words were also vivid in my mind.
Tao Fengming seemed to have noticed Song Mu's abnormality, but he did not say a word at this moment. Amidst the sound of hunting, the master and apprentice quietly returned to their station.
After landing on the back of the white crane, Song Mu supported his body with a wooden stick. At this moment, he slowly raised his head and said to Tao Fengming.
"Teacher, if it were another day..."
"What should we do if all the demons are eliminated?"
Tao Fengming waved Bai He away. After hearing Song Mu's words, a smile and fascination appeared on his face.
"Then the prosperous age that Mr. Tao mentioned has come."
Song Mu listened blankly, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded heavily.
"Of course."
…
They stayed at the Fuxue station for only one more week. In early November, the situation of the war ahead was still unclear, and Song Mu and others had already embarked on their way home.
Compared with before, this time everyone got a carriage, and several scholars who were injured during hunting took turns riding in it.
At this moment, Song Mu was walking beside the carriage. Lying in the carriage was a scholar whose leg was bitten off by a monster, and Xiao Xiong, who had been forced to use Wen Li at that time and could not move until now.
Originally, Song Mu was more seriously injured than him, but as a result, Xiao Xiong recovered more slowly.
According to the teacher's explanation, Xiao Xiong forcibly urged Tourmaline to activate the 'Evolution of Saint', which has already damaged the root. He will need to rest for a long time, and the root of the disease may be caused.
Naturally, Song Mu felt a little guilty about this, but Xiao Xiong was quite open-minded about it, and occasionally enlightened Song Mu, saying that Song Mu wanted to repay him for what he had done today, and he would give Jie Yuan as a thank you in the future.
Xiao Xiong may have really regarded it as a joke, but the speaker did not mean it, but the listener did.
The trip to the battlefield and the words Tao Fengming said to him deeply hurt Song Mu's nerves.
Song Mu also tossed and turned these days, and finally made a great wish for himself in his heart.
No matter how far away all of this seems to me now, they actually happened.
The stability of the human race is based on human lives.
The ferocity of the demon had already made Song Mu come to a conclusion in his mind, and he made a deeper decision about it.
Even if you can't reach heaven and earth in this life, since you are born as a human being, you still have to shoulder the important task of slaying demons in this era.
Continue his mission as a scholar.
"Brother Jing Zhao, drink some water."
Song Mu was walking carefully with two simple walking sticks at the moment. Xue Kaiwen, who was next to him, had already stepped forward, holding a small teacup in his hand, and poured Song Mu a cup of tea.
Song Mu stopped and took a sip of tea. Xue Kaiwen continued to pour tea for Song Mu.
Song Mu smiled and waved his hand, looking at Xue Kaiwen who had changed a bit and said.
"Brother Ziyan, you look quite high-spirited today."
When Xue Kaiwen heard Song Mu's question, a smile appeared on his face. He followed Song Mu and continued walking forward. At this moment, he patted the baggage on his chest and said with a smile.
"Finally, I got what I wanted. This time when I go back, my mother can take good care of herself. Of course Xue is very happy."
Song Mu also understood after hearing this.
Today, Xue Kaiwen is no longer as arrogant as he was in the past, his words are more flexible, and his temper is even more approachable.
His performance in hunting these days has become more and more outstanding, and he has gained more recognition from everyone.
Song Mu was also very happy about this. Xue Kaiwen had finally become a friend of his, and he could see that every move he made was now full of sincerity.
Some people only need one unforgettable experience to grow immediately.
It can be said that the purpose of government education to go hunting was most vividly reflected in Xue Kaiwen.
"Brother Jing Zhao, I heard that you are going to take the provincial examination next year?"
The two were walking leisurely when Xue Kaiwen suddenly spoke. Song Mu paused and nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm going to give it a try, maybe I can achieve something."
Xue Kaiwen had a look of disappointment on his face when he heard this, but at that moment he also spoke to Song Mu.
"Brother Jingzhao, why not wait for a few days, and then we can go for the test together."
"Maybe you can still go to high school and become a Jie Yuan from Jiangnan West Road!"
Song Mu naturally knew that Xue Kaiwen had good intentions. After all, he had only become a scholar not long ago. He would have to take the provincial examination in less than a year, which was obviously somewhat unrealistic.
But Song Mu no longer had so many thoughts about fighting for fame and wealth at this moment. In any case, what he needed now was strength and a literary position.
This sense of urgency was even expressed by Song Mu inadvertently.
Seeing that Song Mu remained silent, Xue Kaiwen naturally changed the topic.
"Senior Brother Fu said that he will also take the provincial examination next year. If he fails, he will join the army."
Song Mu also nodded when he heard that Fu Zefeng had been a scholar for seven years, and his scholarly realm had reached its limit even if it was not perfect.
It is human nature for him to want to fight hard, and with his kind of character, if he fails, the army will naturally go back.
After all, the desire he showed is now well known to everyone.
The team continued to move forward on the official road, and after spending several days, they finally reached the boundary of Shaozhou Prefecture.
At noon on this day, Song Mu saw the city of Shaozhou Prefecture again after a long absence.
There was a big battle last month, and the city of Shaozhou Prefecture was severely damaged. Now most of the people in Guangdong Province have evacuated. Although Shaozhou Prefecture is still under repair, most of them are literati and officers and soldiers stationed here.
There are few people who have not left, and they are still sowing winter seeds in the fields.
Song Mu and his entourage walked far away from the official road, and soon an official came up to question them. When they heard that they were students from Jizhou Prefecture School, the expression on the leader's face suddenly became frustrated.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The next moment, a group of officers and soldiers ran towards this side from the city wall and solemnly arrived in front of Song Mu and others.
This made everyone in Jizhou Fuxue suddenly shocked. Shang Zuliang looked serious at the moment and was about to step forward to negotiate, but the other party suddenly performed a military salute.
"I don't know if it's the students of Jizhou Prefecture School, but the captain of Shaozhou Prefecture School is here to welcome you into the city!"
The captain suddenly said this, which made everyone even more shocked. At that moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened.
However, everyone quickly followed suit. The soldiers stepped forward to help or even help drive the carriage, but they were stopped by everyone and headed towards the city gate amidst the confusion.
Song Mu was naturally a little surprised. He turned to look at the soldier next to him, nodded towards him and asked.
"Brother, I dare to ask you what is going on, why do you want to... welcome us into the city?"
The soldier was similar in age to Song Mu. When he heard Song Mu's question, the expression on his face was more respectful, and he quickly raised his hands and said.
"Back to Mr. Xiucai, this is the arrangement of our Lord Zhifu Gu. He said that if there are students from Jizhou Prefecture School in the south, they must be welcomed into the city."
As he said this, the soldier's face showed a bit of imagination and reverence.
"My lord, you have said that you, Mr. Xiucai, saved our Jizhou Prefecture School, but you left in a hurry that day."
"We in Shaozhou Prefecture must treat our benefactors kindly."
When Song Mu heard these two sentences, he immediately looked at Xue Kaiwen next to him, but soon Song Mu asked again.
"Master Gu? Isn't the prefect of Shaozhou Prefecture Master Yu?"
When the soldier heard this, his face suddenly became a little dazed, but he still responded.
"Master Yu was seriously injured that day, and his family had taken him back to Zhongzhou for recuperation a few days ago."
"Master Gu is now the prefect of our Shaozhou Prefecture."
When Song Mu heard these words, he was suddenly stunned. In that day's battle, many Jinshi in Shaozhou Prefecture were seriously injured, which can be regarded as severe injuries.
Fortunately, the city is still there and there are no serious problems. I think everything can be restored after the war is over.
Thinking like this, Song Mu declined the idea of the soldier coming to carry him on his back, and walked slowly to the city gate.
As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I heard some angry voices from several people.
"Why is Shaozhou Prefecture so presumptuous? I'm waiting for a scholar to gain fame, but I still have to stand aside and give way."
