The final destination of Song Mu's trip was the imperial mausoleum of the Wen Dynasty.
The imperial mausoleum of the Wen Dynasty was different from that of the previous dynasties. The location chosen was not at the feet of the emperor, but in the Helan Mountains south of the Yangtze River.
According to rumors, the Wen Dynasty chose this place to build the imperial mausoleum, following the trajectory of the scattered stars, using the remaining power of the stars as the base, and then nourishing the dragon energy above them.
But there are even rumors that this place is the place where Zhang Sheng attained enlightenment. It has nurtured many emperors and great scholars in the Wen Dynasty for hundreds of years. It is an excellent place for enlightenment.
Although there are different opinions, for Song Mu, he chose to come here because Yan Daru had made a breakthrough here before, and according to Yan Fu's description, the place where the imperial mausoleum is located is buried.
Deep secrets about power.
The mystery of literary power.
The last time Song Mu heard this statement, it was from the mouth of his child Song Chengming. After Yan Fu mentioned it again, Song Mu's heart beat uncontrollably.
In the past ten years, when Song Mu walked out of the demon clan's room, Song Mu had already understood that literary power was not the only way for scholars to break through in this world.
The source of the so-called literary power may be mysterious, but it is inseparable from the star.
The Heavenly Star does not directly produce literary power. It can even be said that the demon power, magic power, and brute force in this world are derived from the alienation of the Heavenly Star's power.
Therefore, the power of the stars is actually the source of power in this world.
The power of the source is extremely pure, but it is not so easy to absorb everything in this world.
Even if you take it by force, you will definitely die.
But now a demon has come along the way, and Song Mu has truly felt the possibility of absorbing the power of the stars.
The power of this star is Song Mu's last resort to improve his realm.
At this moment, Song Mu and Gu Qingqing were standing in the mountain forest, with stone statues and trees in front of them, but several figures suddenly appeared and surrounded Song Mu.
The people who came were all dressed in black and had nervous expressions on their faces, but they saw Song Mu taking out a seal from his sleeve.
"I am a disciple of the Song Ci Sect. I have been ordered by the imperial court to come here to achieve enlightenment and breakthrough."
As soon as these words came out, the few people looked at each other, but a force reached out and took the seal. After careful inspection, the leader put away his sword and stepped forward to salute.
"It turns out that Mr. Song is here. Li Ming, the imperial mausoleum guard, was very offended just now."
Song Mu, however, just waved his hand, looked at these guards who all had the ability to cultivate people, and then said calmly.
"It doesn't matter, I wonder if I can go in now?"
When the man heard this, he nodded and turned sideways to signal Song Mu to move forward.
Song Mu immediately led Gu Qingqing forward. The imperial mausoleum here is vast. Although it is hidden among pines and cypresses, under the trees, it is paved with green bricks. A long road winds into the mountains and rivers, with stone statues standing all the way, and looming in the distance.
The palace is quite majestic and majestic.
As Song Mu walked forward, he also noticed that most of these stone statues were literati from the Wen Dynasty. In the squares outside some palaces, there were even kings from successive generations standing there.
During this period, Song Mu paused and looked towards the pavilion on one side.
Standing in front of the pavilion is a stone statue of Li Ao. On top of the stone statue, Li Ao is straddling a horse and whipping his whip. He is dressed in sharp armor and looks far ahead.
That was Li Ao when he was young. The stone statue is rough, but it vaguely shows that he was in high spirits.
Song Mudang took a deep breath, came to the stone statue, bowed three times and knelt down nine times.
Others just watched Song Mu's movements, and then saw Song Mu get up with some emotion, seeming to grin slightly, and then spoke after a moment.
"Excuse me, please wait."
The few people continued to lead Song Mu forward, and soon Song Mu came to a cliff on the winding mountain road.
Looking up, a palace building sits under the cliff, creating a majestic and majestic appearance together with the mountain.
The leader, Li Ming, was standing in front of the closed door of the hall and looked at Song Mu next to him.
Song Mu also looked at the other party, but at that moment, Li Ming took a dagger from his waist, and then used the dagger to cut his palm.
The next moment blood flowed, but the other party pressed his palm directly on the door of the main hall.
Only then did Song Mu notice that there was a depression above the palace door. At this moment, the opponent's palm was pressed on it, and the lines on it immediately absorbed the blood, and then light flashed and spread around.
.
Song Mu was also very surprised when he saw this scene, and the other party had already spoken to Song Mu at this moment.
"This is the Valley of Enlightenment in my imperial mausoleum. There is a cave in it, and everything is there. You can practice in it with peace of mind."
"However, after the cave is closed, you will need the power of a great scholar to come out of it. Therefore, if you have anything to explain to your relatives and friends, we can do it for you now."
Li Ming said calmly, but his eyes swept over Song Mu.
Although he was also a little confused as to why such a blessed land and cave would be opened to such a Jinshi, he did not dare to question it randomly and could only respectfully explain the secret.
Song Mu was stunned when he heard what the other party said. He turned to look at Gu Qingqing next to him, held the other party's hand and said calmly.
"No, what needs to be said and done, Song has little worries outside."
Li Ming also nodded immediately, then raised his hand towards Song Mu again, and slowly stepped back a few steps.
Song Mu also looked at these people at the moment. These imperial tomb guards were ordinary, but each of them was condensed and quite extraordinary.
Song Mu was about to raise his hands to the other party, but Li Ming suddenly raised his hands to Song Mu with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice.
"Sir, if you can enter the imperial mausoleum to practice in the cave, you must be the leader of our literary dynasty."
"Li is here to pass on the words entrusted by his ancestors."
"No matter how big the world is, we should stir up the turbid and raise the clear, and work wholeheartedly for my country in exchange for eternal glory!"
After the words fell, the team of guards all saluted solemnly. Song Mu also looked solemn at that moment and raised his hands to everyone.
"Song Mu will remember that he will obey the instructions of his ancestors and devote his whole life to our Chinese literary dynasty!"

At this moment, he reached out and held Gu Qingqing's hand, and walked hand in hand into the palace.
middle.
The stone door closed behind him, and a heavy sound suddenly spread. Song Mu raised his eyes and saw that the front was extremely bright.
After walking through a tunnel, what Song Mu saw was a valley.
There is a cave exposed high above the head, and then the cave is wide, and the sun shines here, illuminating most of the cave.
In the midst of the fertile fields, there is still smoke rising from cooking fires.
The water splashes against the rocks and illuminates the earth, making this place look like a cave outside the world.
The next moment, there was a person walking slowly on the mountain steps on one side.
The visitor was a middle-aged man, wearing linen clothes, and he immediately raised his hand towards Song Mu.
"My lord, I am Li Shiyi, the steward of this cave."
"Except for your subsequent cultivation, my one hundred and thirty-seven servants in the cave will be responsible for everything."
Song Mu was also surprised when he heard this, and even Gu Qingqing next to him felt a little incredible.
There are actually many people living in this closed cave, and the mission of these people seems to be to take care of those who come to practice.
Before Song Mu could ask a question, the other party had already said with a smile.
"This is the rule set down by Taizu. We are the servants of the saint, and we are lucky to be alive."
"Your Excellency, you can dispatch us as you wish in this cave."
Song Mu let out a breath, but this time he just held his hands, and then said calmly.
"Excuse me, please take my wife and I to stay here first."
Then Li Shiyi took Song Mu forward and slowly went down the stone steps. Song Mu was able to see clearly the entire situation of the cave. In this cave, the place where the sun shines is farmland, woods, and villages.
On the edge, the surrounding mountains have been cut open, and there are also a few glimmers of light.
At the very center of the bottom of the cave, there was a simple black tower. Although the sun was shining brightly, it still looked dark and cold, which made Song Mu feel that it was extraordinary.
Soon Song Mu arrived at one of the villages, and Li Shiyi had already summoned the whole village and kowtowed to Song Mu, and everyone followed suit.
Song Mu was quite surprised when he saw this scene. He asked everyone to stand up somewhat awkwardly, but he also looked at Li Shiyi in confusion.
"This village has been established for hundreds of years to serve our Chinese literati. Over the years, we have benefited a lot from the divine power of the saints."
"We have nothing to do in return, we can only serve with all our strength."
Song Mu just shook his head slightly. The visible reverence in the other party's eyes did not change at all, so he could only give up.
After settling down at his residence, Song Mu immediately followed him around the cave.
"This cave has been self-sufficient for a long time, but in recent years, we have also followed the sage's instructions to dig caves on the cliffs and collect countless books."
"Sir, are you going to take a look this time?"
Song Mu paused slightly when he heard this. At this moment, he smiled and shook his head, pointing to the black tower in the center of the cave.
"I don't know where it is, but where?"
When Li Shiyi heard Song Mu's question, he nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.
"That place is the place of enlightenment in the cave."
"The place of enlightenment..."
Song Mu looked up, and a light flashed in his eyes at this moment.
