"Three hundred years ago, the human race produced an immortal genius, and now a small half of the various war poems in the academies and temples of literature in various places are from this person."

Zuo Yuan looked at Shen Lang and said, "Do you know that at the beginning of the establishment of the Temple of Literature, the sage issued a strict order that the Temple of Literature should not interfere in the internal affairs of the human race?" ”

Shen Lang said: "I've heard of it." ”

Zuo Yuan nodded slightly, and then continued: "After that Tianjiao was born, just like you today, he only rose in a short period of time. After that, just like you, because you are praised by all parties, you are jealous by all parties. After that, there were several assassinations against him, not only from the demon race, but also from within the human race. ”

Shen Lang nodded slightly, this is not surprising, what is good for the human race is not necessarily good for some people.

At that time, there were some voices in the Confucian Temple, and they felt that the great sage set the rules back then to prevent the Confucian Temple from being swayed by interests after intervening in the internal struggle of the human race, and would lose its original intention of establishment. But now, a Tianjiao has been born, and he even has the hope of stepping into the realm of the Great Sage back then, and even being able to lead the Terran to glory, does the Temple of Literature really want to watch him die in the internal conspiracy of the Terran? ”

"And then?"

When Shen Lang heard this, he actually vaguely understood what Zuo Yuan meant.

Zuo Yuan showed a slightly helpless smile on his face, and sighed: "Later things are cliché, from the beginning he was not wrong, others framed him, the Temple of Literature protected him, and later he was wrong, but the Temple of Literature felt that the flaws were not concealed to protect him, and in the end, the Temple of Literature protected him regardless of right or wrong......"

Shen Lang also sighed, is this a traverser who narrowed the path of the brothers!

After that, the one set off a monstrous wave in the world, almost breaking the human race's Taoism, until finally several demi-saints of the Temple of Literature joined forces to attack and killed all the demi-saints who were trying to protect him, which broke all kinds of thoughts inside the Temple of Literature. At that time, everyone woke up like from a dream, and found that almost the entire human race had been dragged into the quagmire. ”

"Those 100 years can be regarded as the most chaotic 100 years after the saint's journey to the east. The Terrans have split into hundreds of nations, each fighting each other, and their lives are devastated. ”

"So after that, the Temple of Literature mentioned the first article of this sage rule that was originally ranked behind, and the Temple of Literature must not interfere in the internal affairs of the human race!"

Shen Lang was a little silent after listening.

Thinking about it calmly, there is nothing wrong with the Temple of Literature not interfering in the internal affairs of the human race at all. Even, although Shen Lang was a little uncomfortable, he agreed with the Confucian Temple very much in his heart.

With the strength of the Temple of Literature, once it intervenes in the internal affairs of the human race, the direct and indirect influence it can have is simply immeasurable. Now that this force is completely withdrawn and only targeted at external forces, it will not only stabilize the internal Terran race, but also make the foreign race fearful.

As long as it is an internal dispute, even if it is a generation of Tianjiao that is targeted, the Temple of Literature will never interfere.

Of course, if a foreign clan wants to make a move against Shen Lang, then it is another matter. Just like the Qingyun Mansion that day, the demon clan demi-saint wanted to kill Shen Lang, and Zhang Tingwan made a brazen move.

After listening to Zuo Yuan's words, Shen Lang's resentment was a little less.

"So the third thing is to let me enter the Temple of Literature?" Shen Lang asked.

Zuo Yuan nodded and said: "This matter needs to be considered by yourself, once you enter the Temple of Literature, you can no longer meddle in the internal affairs of the human race, and naturally the forces of the various families will never dare to take the initiative against you from now on." ”

Shen Lang thought for a moment and said, "If I find out now that King Huaining is raising a private army with the intention of rebelling, can I ......?"

"I can't."

Zuo Yuan said categorically: "You found out, but you can't expose it, let alone interfere." The king of Huaining knew that you had found out, and he would never dare to say anything to you. ”

Shen Lang said: "Then if I find out that King Huaining wants to slaughter millions of human beings......

"I can't."

"If I find out that King Huaining is colluding with the demon clan......"

"Can't! You can kill any demon clan, but that's only because you want to kill them, not because King Huaining colluded with them. ”

Zuo Yuan said, and looked at Shen Lang with a strange expression: "By the way, where did King Huaining recruit you to provoke you?" ”

Shen Lang suddenly coughed dryly twice and said, "Isn't this an analogy for me." ”

"Is there such an analogy?" Zuo Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, and after a while, he said, "So, I'm going to say the third thing now, Ziyu is willing to join the Temple of Literature?" ”

Shen Lang frowned and thought about it, the benefits of joining the Temple of Literature are naturally self-evident, it is really a transcendent world, and from then on, the worldly strife and conspiracy have nothing to do with him.

As long as this is still the world of the human race, no one will dare to confront the Temple of Literature head-on.

And the disadvantage...... Hardly!

Neither alcohol nor meat is forbidden, and there is no requirement to abstain from women's sex.

If you insist on talking about the disadvantages, it is probably that you can no longer interfere in court disputes and stay away from Hongchen from now on.

But isn't that what he's always wanted, and he's longed for that life since the first day he came into this world.

Shen Lang's face was cloudy, and Zuo Yuan sat quietly on the side, looking at him quietly.

After a long time, Shen Lang's expression gradually calmed down, and a touch of relief appeared between his eyebrows.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zuo Yuan's mouth and said, "How are you thinking about it?" ”

Shen Lang's expression was calm, and he said slowly: "I think about it, I still don't want to join the Temple of Literature." ”

Zuo Yuan smiled: "That's good, you and I will be in the Temple of Literature ...... future."

Speaking of this, he paused suddenly, staring at Shen Lang with wide eyes: "What did you say?" ”

Shen Lang smiled and said, "I said I wouldn't join the Temple of Literature." ”

"Why?" Zuo Yuan exclaimed.

For most of the scholars in this world, the biggest goal in this life is to enter the Temple of Literature.

Shen Lang smiled and said nothing.

Zuo Yuan let out a long sigh, but there was also a bit of relaxation in his eyes.

"That's fine."

He took out a cloth bag from his arms and put it on the table, and said, "Before I came, Zhang Sheng said that you would choose him as a teacher, but he can't come in person for the time being, so let me bring this thing to you first." ”

After doing this, Zuo Yuan didn't stay any longer, and after sending Zuo Yuan away, Shen Lang returned to the study.

Looking at the cloth bag on the table, a different color flashed in Shen Lang's eyes, and there was no seal on it. When I opened the cloth bag, I saw a book and a piece of jade inside.

Shen Lang picked up the jade and looked at it, it seemed to be an ordinary jade, and he couldn't see anything special.

When his eyes fell on the book, he saw that there was no name on the cover, and when he opened it, it was Zhang Tingwan's handwriting.

And what is talked about in it turned out to be the cultivation path of the middle and third grades.

Shen Lang's eyes flashed with surprise, this was what he needed the most now.

After reading it carefully, Shen Lang understood the cultivation context of Confucianism and Taoism for the first time.

If everything about the cultivation of the three grades under Confucianism and Taoism is to prepare for the condensation of the Wen Palace. Then all the cultivation of the middle and third grades is to improve their own literary palace. Confucian practice focuses on its own heaven and earth, and this heaven and earth refers to the palace of literature. It can be said that the entire practice of Confucianism and Taoism revolves around the Wengong.

And if you want to cultivate the Wen Palace, you must know the source of the power of the Wen Palace: talent, righteousness, and world rules.

Before advancing to the seven-grade bachelor realm, Shen Lang always felt that the most important thing he lacked was talent, after all, all kinds of poems and texts were at his fingertips, and if he really felt that his talent was not enough, he would copy it.

But after being promoted to the bachelor's realm, I found that the so-called "no shortage of talent" was a joke at all.

The spirituality of the Wengong depends on the talent, and the more sufficient the talent, the higher the authenticity of the Wengong will be, and the more spirituality will be.

Naturally, in order to advance to the realm of scholars, it is not necessary to completely authenticate the Wengong, and only sixty percent of the completion is sufficient.

But for every time the degree of completion is high, its strength is multiplied.

Shen Lang's goal is naturally not sixty percent of the degree of completion, he roughly estimated, with the talent of Mingzhou's poetry, to completely make his exaggerated small world completely real, I am afraid that more than 10,000 Mingzhou poems will be needed.

This realization made Shen Lang a little broken, but there was also some vague speculation, from ancient times to the present, there are so many bachelor realms, they don't have so many famous poems, can't they cultivate the Wen Palace?

There must be other ways to acquire talent.

In the booklet given by Zhang Tingwan, the solution is mentioned: writing books and secret realms.

Shen Lang carefully flipped through it, and the so-called books were not ordinary poems, but intensive study of Confucian and Taoist classics, starting with Confucian and holy Taoist articles.

Analyzing the articles of the Holy Dao, on the one hand, you can deepen your understanding of Confucianism and Taoism, and on the other hand, you can also gain a lot of talent. After its issuance is announced, if it can win the approval of the majority of Confucian and Taoist monks, it can also obtain a literary name.

Shen Lang looked at it and nodded slightly, this is very in line with the practice of Confucianism and Taoism.

After that, there was the secret realm, and Zhang Tingwan also gave several secret realms to choose from, including the Yunshan Secret Realm where Shen Lang had been.

It was also at this time that Shen Lang learned that there were originally three layers in the Yunshan Secret Realm, and what they entered that day was only the first layer of the Yunshan Secret Realm, and it was also a rare secret realm that low-grade monks could enter.

Naturally, the location of the entrance to each floor is also different, for example, the entrance of the second layer is above the East China Sea, and the entrance to Yunshan in the Southern Demon Kingdom is thousands of miles away. And it is not in the hands of humans and demons, but in the hands of the East China Sea Dragon Clan.

Dragons?

Shen Lang was a little surprised, remembering that the wedding gift that Zhang Yu gave him that day was a mermaid tear from the East China Sea.

After reading the book given by Zhang Tingwan carefully, it was already approaching evening.

When I got out of the room, I saw that Luliu was still waiting outside, but the little girl was already dozing off when she sat at the door, and when she saw Shen Lang coming out, she happily pulled him to eat.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Shen Lang arranged for people to go to Yahang to find a suitable place.

In addition to buying a house in Beijing, he also had to buy a field outside the capital, which was to prepare for the Yang family's coming.

And Shen Lang himself, as always, started to be the shopkeeper, and after arranging the work, he went into the study.

Now that you have a clear direction for your practice, you must not slack off.

As for those things in the court, Shen Lang naturally wouldn't get involved.

After more than ten days, a suitable mansion was still not found in the capital, but the fields outside the city were settled.

It is the manor of a raided official, located at the foot of a small hill, surrounded by hundreds of acres of fields, which is quite good in terms of location and size.

Shen Lang even felt that near the capital, how could there be such a good place waiting for him to buy?

Later, after careful inquiry, I vaguely knew that this place had been empty for several days, and many dignitaries had asked, but they had been stuck by the government and did not enter the tooth shop.

It wasn't until two days ago that the nobles in the palace said that they gave this place to Shen Lang.

Hearing this, Shen Lang suddenly realized.

finally understood what Zhang Dong said at that time, and Her Majesty the Empress would definitely give him an explanation.
