Chapter 295: The Prosperity of Culture and Taoism is Coming

Sima Yi and Sima Lang took the book to one side to read, and after opening it, they frowned. In the past, they had only read letters; indeed, letters conveyed profound meanings with few words. After all, writing a letter is very troublesome.
