Song Mu briefly chatted with Du Sheng, and then they arranged for Song Mu to stay in this sect.
Along the way, Du Sheng, as Song Mu, answered many questions about the Du Shi Zong.
At the beginning of the establishment of Du Fu's poetry sect, Du Sheng still existed and achieved great enlightenment here. However, Du Shengshen did not want to explain what happened next. Song Mu only knew that there was no trace of Du Fu anymore.
Later, Du Fu's nephew Du Qin took over the leadership of the Du Shi Sect. The sect was also built in the thatched cottage because of Du Sheng's enlightenment. It was a small sect.
The distinction between large and small sects such as the Du Shi Sect was unique in this literary dynasty.
The sect here is built on the mountain, with majestic pavilions and palaces, and the scenery is beautiful and beautiful. As an important place for the Du Shi Sect, this small sect's main function is for the disciples of the sect to learn Taoism.
Most of the temples in the mountains are enlightenment halls and libraries, which are extremely pure places of practice.
As for the disciples of the Du Shi Sect practicing here, the worst among them are at the scholar level. There are hundreds of them as far as the eye can see, and there is also an endless stream of disciples at the scholar level.
Along the way, Song Mubu saw the presence of more than a dozen Jinshi scholars in the mountains, several Hanlin literati, and even a scholar at the level of a bachelor in Du Sheng's temple.
And according to what Du Shengshen said, the size of the small sect here is only one-fifth of the large sect of the Du family. The number of literati in the Du family poetry sect can be tens of thousands.
Song Mu also bit the tip of his tongue hard.
Then he told Song Mu some more about the situation of the Li Shizong, which also made Song Mu speechless.
The Li family's poetry sect has two semi-sages, six bachelors, dozens of Hanlin scholars, and hundreds of Jinshi. The other realms of poetry are slightly inferior to those of the Du family's poetry sect.
The Du Shi Sect also has two semi-saints, but their high-end combat power is slightly inferior to the Li Shi Sect.
Song Mu can also understand the reason.
Du Fu's poems were widely circulated, numerous, and quick to understand and use, so they had a high reputation in the Wen Dynasty and had many basic-level disciples in the sect.
Most of Li Bai's poems are noble and ethereal, and most of their artistic conceptions are strange and strange. It is extremely difficult to understand, but once you succeed, you will rise to the top and become outstanding.
The two sects have taken completely different paths in the development of poetry, but they have the same profound foundation.
After hearing these things from Du Shengshen, Song Mu couldn't let it go for a while. Calculated in this way, these two super poetry sects have four great Confucians, ten great scholars, hundreds of Hanlin scholars, and hundreds of
Thousands of talents are promoted.
The two major poetry sects could almost match nearly 30% of the combat power of the Wen Dynasty court.
In addition, there are many poetry sects of different sizes in the world. Considering this, it is no wonder that His Majesty wants to implement the "Zongguo Law" and bring the children of the poetry sect into the world.
Song Mu finally had a different understanding of the Shizong in the world, and he couldn't help but wonder what kind of advantage this kind of fighting power would give Wen Dynasty in the battle against demons.
At this moment, Song Mu arrived at a pavilion in the mountain to bid farewell to Du Shengshen. Song Mu immediately opened the window in front of him and saw thousands of miles of wind and clouds rolling in front of his eyes. In the distance, there seemed to be mountains rising into the sky.
It makes people feel extremely majestic.
At that moment, Song Mu also sighed and said to Tao Fengming next to him.
"Master, when you see these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, it's like a fairyland."
Tao Fengming looked calm at the moment. He felt relaxed and happy in such a pure place. He nodded slightly this time.
Song Mu was moved in his heart.
"Master, I see that Du Sheng is very impressed with you today. I guess it was Master who also had dazzling achievements in front of Du Sheng in the past, right?"
Tao Fengming came back to his senses and looked at Song Mu, his expression slightly hesitant.
After a while, Tao Fengming smiled slightly, and then spoke softly to Song Mu.
"That's it. It's just that what Du Sheng originally valued was not me as a person, but the poet who stood behind me."
Song Mu heard Tao Shizong again and raised his eyes at this moment.
In fact, Song Mu always only cared about his master's experience along the way, but it seems that along the way, countless people in this literary dynasty seemed to care more about Tao Fengming's background in the Tao Poetry Sect?
Tao Fengming seemed to have seen the confusion on Song Mu's face at this moment, and said suddenly.
"Jing Zhao, what do you think of Shi Zong?"
"With profound foundation and strong strength, he is worthy of being the mainstay of the Wen Dynasty."
Tao Fengming smiled slightly when he heard this, and seemed to agree with this statement. He just lowered his eyes slightly and spoke again.
"Indeed, that's how it seems to most people."
Song Mu was a little confused, but Tao Fengming had already continued.
"The poets stand tall in the world because they relied on the powerful poems of their ancestors. But after all, the ancestors have passed away. In order for the descendants to continue to play a huge role in these powerful poems, they have the idea of bloodline."
"Even the poetry sects in this world regard blood as the key to the survival of the poetry sect."
Song Mu was stunned, Tao Fengming had already looked at Song Mu.
"And it is this bloodline that gave birth to true cruelty. Countless descendants of the Shizong worked hard to give birth to offspring under the leadership of the Shizong, and then were selected by the sect. Those with bright bloodlines will rise to the sky in one step, and those who are useless will immediately become stepping stones."
These were words that Song Mu had never heard before. Tao Fengming pointed at the scenery outside the window and spoke to Song Mu in a deep voice.
"Jing Zhao, do you know who built these beautiful buildings and jade buildings?"
Song Mu thought about what Tao Fengming said just now, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. Tao Fengming still said.
"It was not made by sending the people of the world to work, but was built by countless people at the lowest level among the Du family."
"Today's fairy palace is misty and the city is majestic, but it is the pain of countless generations of descendants of the Poetry Sect. They were completely bound by the so-called Poetry Sect's ideals, and then were forcibly tied to this huge war machine."
"Shizong, it's far less glamorous than we thought."
Tao Fengming said this with great emotion, as if thinking of some painful events in the past, and sighed with Song Mu.
"This is true for the Li and Du poetry schools, it is the same for the Tao poetry school, and it is the same for all the poetry schools in the world."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Song Mu's expression was suddenly shocked when he heard these words.
The surprise and magnificence just now was brought back to reality by Tao Fengming. Song Mu felt that it was inappropriate, but it gradually became clear that maybe this was the pain Tao Fengming had experienced.
There is no need to be pessimistic, it was something Tao Fengming tried to struggle but failed to resist. Now he can only tell Song Mu about his unwillingness.
Tao Fengming explained to Song Mu.
"Jingzhao, I only have one thing to say to you when I say this. If in the future, there really is a school of poetry and a school of poetry that can be established, there is no need to impose such hardships on future generations."
Song Mu suddenly nodded. Tao Fengming didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore. This time he turned his head and looked out the window and asked Song Mu.
"Entering the Poetry Sect to practice is presumably a temporary measure His Majesty has made for you now. What are your plans next?"
When Song Mu heard this question, he immediately adjusted himself. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before speaking to Tao Fengming.
"Of course the disciple should devote himself to practice, but when he was in Chang'an, the disciple had an idea, and now he can also ride on the east wind of the Poetry Sect."
Tao Fengming seemed to be interested after hearing this. He looked at Song Mu and Song Mu said slowly.
"Disciple is going to write another folk book."
"A travelogue about the delicacies of the Wen Dynasty, and there are many books in this poetry collection, which saves a lot of trouble."
"Then this folk book should not be used as entertainment, right?"
Tao Fengming asked Song Mu. Song Mu was slightly frustrated. He hesitated a little, but continued to speak after a moment.
"Perhaps it can bring about some different changes that Master has always expected."
After hearing this, Tao Fengming took a deep look at Song Mu. There was already a tacit understanding between master and disciple. At this moment, he nodded lightly and just warned Song Mu.
"This is very good. Without some chores, I can free up my hands and feet."
