Li Dong was obviously not surprised by what Song Mu said. To a certain extent, he was already used to accepting Song Mu's various statements.
But at this moment, Li Dong still seemed to be a little depressed. Although he didn't say anything about this matter, after a moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Song Mu and said.
"Master, I have contacted Mr. Tan today, and we will set off on our journey soon, right?"
Li Dong said these words softly. After hearing these words, Song Mu's excited expression slowly disappeared, and then he looked at Li Dong again.
Song Mu took a deep breath, but nodded slightly, with a bit of complexity in his eyes at this moment.
Song Mu's resurrection from the dead is somewhat incredible.
At that time, the Dragon God's blow could be said to have completely killed Song Mu, but fortunately his body was still intact. The great scholars then arrived and joined forces to protect Song Mu's heart, and then he was sent back to the Wen Dynasty in a hurry.
In Chang'an, a group of famous doctors took action, and although they could restore Song Mu's heart and pulse, they could not restore him to the level of living and dead, flesh and bones.
It was precisely because of this that everyone thought that there was no way to save the situation, and the news about Song Mu's death spread all around, causing turmoil in the world.
But soon after, Song Chengming went to the palace to meet the saint, saying that his mother might have a treasure that he could try. Song Mu was sent back to the sect, and Gu Qingqing also found the Seven Soul Flower that Song Mu had given her.
Such an unparalleled thing suddenly appeared, and all the great scholars exclaimed in surprise. After Song Mu took the Seven Soul Flower, he saw that the aura on Song Mu's body began to surge.
After spending all his literary power in seven days, Song Mu finally escaped from death and came back to life.
It's just that the Seven Soul Flower saved Song Mu's life, but it was at the cost of his cultivation. It even consumed Song Mu's lifespan, essence and blood, and his hair turned gray in a day.
For the next ten years, Song Mu hid in the depths of the sect and devoted himself to practice. He went back and forth for three years and Tong Sheng became a Jinshi. This time, it took ten years.
During this period, Song Mu also deliberately blocked any news about himself and stayed secluded among the Song Ci sect. Firstly, he wanted to concentrate on recovering his strength, and secondly, he was afraid of disturbing the Dragon God again. What would happen to Song Mu in such a heart-breaking scene?
I don't want to go through it again.
It was only ten years later that Song Mu realized that the agreement he had made with Donghai in the past had lost much effect.
Whether it was the alliance between the Eastern and Western demon clans, or the power of the Heavenly Star being gradually developed by the demons, the Wen Dynasty was already facing a disaster that could be seen with the naked eye.
So after stabilizing his realm, Song Mu secretly met with Li Moer and expressed his thoughts.
I want to use the power of the royal family to continue to achieve breakthroughs, but the price is to make the entire Song Ci sect turn to the Wen Dynasty court and set a different example.
This seemed to be an ugly exchange of interests, but Song Mu also acquiesced to this result. The Song Ci Sect was not that cold and towering sect. Song Mu also wanted this sect to enter the mortal world and contribute to the literary dynasty.
It brings different changes to the human world.
So there was this meeting with Tan Weiyi, and after the meeting, Song Mu had already arranged everything. At this moment, he put aside his ordinary thoughts in the world and continued to pursue his Confucianism and Taoism.
After pondering for a moment, Song Mucai looked at Li Dong and then spoke.
"Your Highness, Song may have selfish motives, but he has fought so many demons for decades in his life. If he doesn't try again, he won't be willing to give up."
Li Dong looked up, with a calm expression on his face. He just let out a deep breath and held his hands towards Song Mu.
"Master, of course I understand, but this time, I can't listen to that kind of news again."
"Li Dong, wait here for Master to attain enlightenment!"
Song Mu looked at Li Dong and saw his resolute expression. He bowed to him with a serious face and bowed his hands.
After a while, Li Dong left in a hurry to arrange Song Mu's arrangements. The courtyard became quiet again, and from the depths of the courtyard, a woman with an aging face walked out, carrying a pot of hot tea.
This was Gu Qingqing. Time had passed and she was already looking quite old in her sixties. Song Mu looked too young in front of her, but the eyes between the two of them still looked at each other with affection.
Song Mu stood up and took the teapot, and then sat down with Gu Qingqing. Gu Qingqing poured tea for Song Mu, but Song Mu looked at him, pondered for a moment, and spoke softly.
"Qingqing, come with me this time."
Gu Qingqing paused for a moment and looked up at Song Mu. There was no surprise in his expression, but rather hesitation.
This is not the first time Song Mu has made such a request to Gu Qingqing, but after all, Gu Qingqing can't let go of her grandchildren at home. As a mother and grandmother, Gu Qingqing already has more concerns.
Only this time, Song Mu didn't just laugh it off, but said in a solemn tone.
"Qingqing, I know you are reluctant to leave these children at home, but the children have grown up."
"You have already worked too much for your family, why not make a choice for yourself this time?"
Song Mu said this, his expression was a little touched, he held Gu Qingqing's hand tightly and said.
"Qingqing, come with me. I don't know how long I'll be going this time. I'll always feel a little uneasy if I haven't seen you for so many years."
Song Mu seemed a little embarrassed at this moment, and Gu Qingqing's expression also changed at this moment. She looked at Song Mu at the moment, and nodded slowly after a while.
When Song Mu saw this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he nodded accordingly.
After being married for many years, Song Mu knew that he was deeply indebted to Gu Qingqing. The two met when they were young, and their love suddenly grew. However, when they were sleeping together, with their children around their knees, they were thinking about their ordinary days.
However, the times have played a trick on people, and Song Mu chose to be an upright scholar of the Wen Dynasty, which completely shattered all of this.
There were many twists and turns along the way, and what lingered in Song Mu's memory was Gu Qingqing's unblinking eyebrows every time he said goodbye.
After regaining his new life, Song Mu felt even more guilty when he saw Gu Qingqing's hair turning white.
Gu Qingqing, who has been alive for decades and has no literati cultivation, although he is extremely well-maintained, Song Mu still has uneasy feelings in his heart from time to time.
That is, I don’t know when in the future, I will eventually lose Gu Qingqing...
And what he had to do made it difficult for him to make up for the companionship he had lost in the past. For this reason, Song Mu made this decision.
While the two were chatting lightly, Yan Daru had also returned, and now he was in the courtyard. His expression changed slightly, and he asked like Li Dong.
"Sect Master, how long are you going to go this time?"
Yan Fu asked his question, Song Mu smiled slightly, stood up and shook his head slightly.
"Maybe it happens in an instant, maybe it takes a long time."
"Old Yan, you know that this matter is not easy."
Yan Fu just nodded slightly, with complete calmness in his eyes.
"Although the sect leader is going to improve his cultivation this time, the Song Ci Sect is already on the right track. Even if something goes wrong in the future, I will do my best to protect you."
Song Mu also looked serious when he heard this. At this moment, he nodded heavily and bowed respectfully to the other party.
"Old Yan, Song Mu will never forget such kindness."
Yan Fu just waved his hand slightly and continued to speak.
"What did the sect master say? The sect master came here because of my Song Ci sect. If I can succeed, I think the current situation in the world will be different."
"Yan is waiting for that day when he and the sect master will fight the demon together."
Both sides cupped their hands and looked solemn at this moment.
Not long after, after arranging the affairs, Song Mu and Gu Qingqing took off in the air under the witness of Yan Fu and Li Dong.
A rainbow suddenly flashed across the sky. Many people in the surrounding cities saw this scene and saw this rainbow light heading towards the north.
In an instant, two figures fell down from a large bulging mountain.
In front of you are green pines and cypresses, and under the shade of the trees are simple stone statues. In front of you are the magnificent mountains and palaces, which give you a sense of heaviness.
This strange place is the royal mausoleum of the current Wen Dynasty royal family.
