I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 865 Homecoming
At dusk, the lights in Shiyang County are just beginning to come on.

After decades of changes, this small city on the Ganshui River has already taken on a new look.

The city walls are towering, the port is wide, and thousands of sails are racing. Although it is not a place where great rivers meet, the degree of prosperity is jaw-dropping.

People who pass here will be amazed by it, but they will also look towards the distant mountains involuntarily.

On the mountain peaks far away on the river bank, there was a little golden light flashing, and everyone who passed by here knew what it was there.

The Song family.

The world's number one Ci school is a shining existence in today's Dawen.

And this city, which gave birth to a generation of suzerains, naturally became more and more brilliant.

The setting sun crossed the city wall, but Shiyang County is very lively today. A large number of officers and soldiers appeared on the streets at some point, and even many literati in white robes and carrying long swords hurriedly walked.

The people in the city naturally recognized these people, the officials in Shiyang County, the sergeants stationed in the county, and the disciples of the Song Ci School.

Not long after, another group of people hurried past on the street, and the county magistrate in red robes led a group of officials to walk hurriedly as well.

Each of them had a serious face, but unconsciously there was a bit of excitement between their brows.

And the location they went to was an ancestral hall in this city.

Song's ancestral hall.

Not long after, soldiers began to maintain order on the street, and all the dignitaries in Shiyang County had gathered outside the Song Clan Hall. Everyone suddenly realized that something different was about to happen here.

"This Song family, has something happened?"

"Who knows, with such a big battle, could it be that someone from the Song family has come out?"

"That's Yan Daru, he's here too, it's not easy to imagine."

Some people whispered, but most of them looked up.

In Shiyang County, the most eye-catching place will always be the Song family in Shiyang.

This is a world-renowned existence.

But when many people were guessing, suddenly everyone felt the sound of reading in their ears, and at this moment, all the officials standing outside the Song's ancestral hall suddenly raised their heads.

"Look at that!"

Someone said suddenly, and everyone looked up one after another, and saw the northern sky, in the red sky reflected by the setting sun, there was suddenly a thousand zhang rays of light flickering.

The glow was like a ribbon, lightly coming towards Shiyang County, and at the same time, the sound of reading in the ear also gradually increased.

The people were at a loss for a moment, but they saw the Shiyang County Magistrate and the Yan Daru standing there, but they all took a step forward at this moment.

"Congratulations to the suzerain, return home after attaining the Tao!"

"Welcome to the saint, Confucianism and Taoism are the most holy!"

The two said in unison, with a bit of uncontrollable excitement in their voices, and the officials and sect disciples behind them also saluted and let out their voices.

The sound immediately attracted the surrounding people, and they also heard something incredible from these two short sentences.

"Sovereign? Confucianism and Taoism are the most holy?!"

"Who is this? Which sect's suzerain is here?"

Someone still didn't understand why, and asked the people around him, but a scholar next to him suddenly stopped, his eyes widened at this moment, and he said with a face full of disbelief.

"This... Could it be, Song Mu... Sect Master Song?"

"what?!"

"Impossible, Sect Master Song wasn't..."

Before the doubts of others spread, the voice of the disciples of the Song Clan's Ci School welcoming the suzerain rushed into their ears, and the audience was in an uproar for a while!

The glow had already arrived in the city at this moment, and two figures fell from the glow, and all the officials knelt down one after another.

According to the custom of the Wen Dynasty, when the saint comes, all the people submit.

The people around him knelt down, but they still couldn't help looking up.

It's just like the scene in Chang'an, before everyone's knees touched the ground, an invisible force lifted them up, and then the voice suddenly came.

"Fathers and elders, don't be cautious."

The voice sounded, and there were already two figures standing in front of the Song Clan's Ancestral Hall.

Everyone looked at Song Mu, whose white hair had already turned blue, turned around and looked back at this moment, with a faint smile on his face, and bowed his hands towards everyone.

"metropolitan!"

Yan Fu was the first to move forward, and at this moment his eyebrows were beyond description, but when he felt Song Mu's majestic strength, he was even more delighted at this moment.

The county magistrate next to him also stepped forward at this moment, but he was a little trembling, and even sweat oozed from his forehead involuntarily.

Part excitement, part awe.

Shiyang County is such a small county, and there is such a saint. From now on, Shiyang County will go down in history with Song Mu's name.

Moreover, the coercion that made him tremble even as a Jinshi cultivation base showed that Song Mu was extraordinary this time.

"Saint, we have just received an urgent report from the imperial court, and we are disappointed."

Song Mu waved his hands, looked around, and said again.

"Everyone, please allow Song Mu to pay homage to the ancestors first."

While speaking, there was the sound of beating drums in this ancestral hall, and then the sound of rumbling firecrackers. The city was suddenly very lively. Although there were soldiers protecting it, there were countless people coming here.

The news that Song Mu did not die, but returned after being sanctified, spread to every corner of the county almost instantly.

Even on the busy pier, the common people dropped their work one after another and headed towards the city.

Just to see Song Mu's glory.

"After today! Our Shiyang County is the place where the Wen Dynasty's leading saints are!"

The city was noisy, but Song Mu had already stepped into the ancestral hall. He felt as if he was in the middle of the imperial examination. At this moment, he stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes and walked forward slowly.

The clansmen had already handed over the incense, Song Mu took it, and looked up at the ancestral tablet in front of him.

Although Song Mu had thousands of words in his mouth, in the end he just kowtowed heavily.

The Song family has struggled for more than two hundred years, and today, Yu Song Mu has finally borne fruit.

This is a matter that honors the ancestors more than establishing a sect.

Because the world will always remember that there was a person with the surname Song in the Wen Dynasty, who established the school of Ci, and Confucianism and Taoism were the most holy.

Song and Mu have all the best in the world.

When Song Mu got up, there were already many tribesmen standing around. Song Mu looked back, but suddenly thought of something, and asked.

"Second uncle... where is he now?"

The elders of the clan walked out, clasped their hands and said in a very restrained manner.

"Saint, the second master is still here, but now that he has a long life, it is difficult to stay here to welcome him."

Song Mu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said.

"Okay, I'll go see my second uncle."

After the words fell, the crowd surrounded Song Mu and headed towards a quiet courtyard in the city. They seemed to know that Song Liangtong was old and didn't like to make noise. Before reaching the alley, everyone silenced their voices and stopped moving forward. I just watched Song Mu and his wife go in.

Seeing this, an old man on the side also murmured at the moment.

"The scene of the sage is exactly the same as that of the past. At that time, the sage returned to his hometown in a dull manner."

In the quiet courtyard, Song Mu stepped in. Several servants in the courtyard were doing their own work. Seeing Song Mu, who was unfamiliar, stepping in, he was about to stop him, but he heard a murky voice from inside the courtyard.

"Is Jing Zhao here? But my nephew?"

As the words sounded, a woman's comforting voice sounded immediately.

"Second Master, Sect Master Song is currently seeking truth, and will definitely come to see you in a few days."

"Then when will it be? I won't eat it today, and I will eat it when my nephew comes back."

When the voice came, Song Mu's face was a little turbulent, and the servant next to him wanted to step forward to stop Song Mu, but he heard Song Mu's voice.

"Second Uncle, Jing Zhao is back!"

"Whatever you eat today, share a bowl with me!"
