Li Changan was riding a carriage, rushing towards the capital.
The three scribes who were traveling together parted ways early on.
After he took a look at the Wenchang Monument, he couldn't help but speed up on his way.
After entering Shuntian Mansion, he quietly changed his appearance.
He just made some changes, and in the past three years in the Demon Kingdom, his appearance and temperament have changed slightly. If you are not very familiar with him, it will be difficult to recognize him.
Before arriving in the capital and meeting his master, his whereabouts will not be exposed.
"Why is the donor like this?" Jin Chan saw Li Changan moving his hands and feet on his face and asked.
"My appearance is too handsome, which may cause confusion, so I have to cover it up." Li Changan looked at the bronze mirror, pinching the corners of his eyes and touching his chin from time to time.
The face that used to have clear facial features and a hint of enchantment on top of its handsomeness became much more ordinary in an instant after some manipulation.
Jin Chan smiled slightly, shook his head and looked out the car window, "The donor is really..."
"Smelly and shameless?" Li Changan put away the bronze mirror and said with a smile.
Jin Chan changed the topic directly. The more he talked with Li Changan, the more he could feel the casualness in Li Changan's bones.
And this is precisely one of the manifestations of the root of great wisdom.
"The donor is worried about the Six Nations Poetry Society?"
Li Changan nodded noncommittally, "Yes..."
"Originally, these Six Kingdoms poems would have nothing to do with me, but my family and my friends are all in this land."
"If those guys are allowed to take away the fate of the Jin State, the country will not be a country, and how can we say anything about it?"
Jin Chan asked again, "The six countries in the world are inherently one. If they can be unified, it will be a good thing for the entire human race."
"Of course I know that reunification is a good thing." Li Changan affirmed, "But how many lives will be involved in this reunification process?"
"The fate of scribes and warriors is the fate of common people."
"The process of unification of the six countries is a process of mass deaths."
"I just don't want to see anyone I care about among those who die."
Jin Chan clasped his hands together and said, "Donor, why don't you stand from a higher place and look at this?"
"After unification, the human race will be even stronger. The power of the human race that has been baptized by the flames of war will surely shake the world."
"And those who died during this baptism process only need to recuperate for ten years before they can recover and even become more prosperous."
Li Changan was a little surprised, "Master actually agrees with this matter?"
"I once heard that Buddha would not even trample an ant to death, and would cut his own flesh to feed a hungry eagle when he saw it."
"But what the mage just said was murderous."
Jin Chan recited "Amitabha", and then looked at Li Changan, "Buddhas are also angry, and King Vajra appears in anger. There are also King Shura and Bodhisattva in Buddhism."
"The young monk was just thinking from the perspective of the donor."
"In the face of the general trend of the world, personal life and death have no bearing on the overall situation. If it is for the future of the human race, sacrifice is inevitable."
Li Changan smiled and shook his head, "If there is no absolute power in the world, this road may have to be taken."
"But in this era, there may be better ways to make human integration less bloody and brutal."
Jin Chan nodded, "Please give me some advice."
"If the most powerful person appears, he does not have to be a saint. He only needs to be invincible in the first level and not afraid of being surrounded and killed by the powerful people in the world. Then he can suppress the current world and forcibly rule the world."
Li Changan stuck his head out of the car window and looked east,
"No matter which country the people are from, they will not want to go to war."
"If the imperial court had not forcibly recruited soldiers, if they had not been able to survive, if their families had not been destroyed, who would be willing to fight?"
"The culprits behind wars are always a small number of people."
"As long as they die, the people will live."
Jin Chan smiled and said, "The young monk has learned a lesson."
"Since the donor was worried about the Six Nations Poetry Festival, why didn't he just rush there? Instead, he took a carriage and rushed there?"
"With the donor's current level of cultivation and magical power, if he flies at full speed, he will definitely be much faster."
Li Changan lowered the curtain of the car window and sat back on the carriage, "The poetry festival will be held for fifteen days. It would be meaningless to rush there too early."
Jin Chan looked over, doubt evident in his eyes.
Li Changan explained, "The Jin Dynasty was defeated miserably in the February Literary Saint Ranking. Now that the other five countries are coming to the capital again, it is actually a deeper test."
"Right now, in the March Literary Saints List, Da Jin's poetry is ranked ninth. Maybe many people still think it is acceptable, as long as it is not at the bottom."
"If the problem is solved quickly at the Six Nations Poetry Conference, I'm afraid they won't have a long memory..."
"Only when we are truly facing life and death will the Chinese people unite as one to defend against foreign enemies."
Jin Chan suddenly realized, "I didn't expect the donor to be so careless."
"It's just that the donor is confident that he can solve this crisis in Jin? Isn't he afraid that if he goes too late, the defeat will be too great, and Jin's bones have already been crushed?"
Li Changan took out a Buddhist scripture that he had bought from Jin Chan and opened it casually.
"To put it modestly, even if the crisis cannot be completely resolved, at least it will not be too ugly."
"As for the second question asked by the Master, I can only say that if you can't bear this pressure, there will be no cure for Dajin."
After saying that, he stopped talking about this topic and took out a Confucian classic from the animal skin treasure bag and handed it to Jin Chan.
"Master gave me Buddhist scriptures. I also have a Confucian scripture here. Master, you might as well read it."
Jin Chan took it with a smile, "Thank you so much, donor."
The carriage immediately fell silent, leaving only the rustle of the two men reading scriptures.
…
Just as Li Changan was on his way to the capital, the orders coming from the capital became increasingly urgent.
The themes of the six lists of the Six Nations Poetry Society have been determined, and a nationwide call for poems has begun.
Although the Wenchang steles in various places do not explain the specific situation of the Six Kingdoms Poetry Society, the words on them become more and more urgent, and you can feel that the situation of the Six Kingdoms Poetry Society far away in the capital is extremely pessimistic.
Various places are actively gathering poems and articles from all sides, just to support the Six Nations Poetry Society.
This Six Nations Poetry Conference really mobilized the power of the whole country to respond to the provocations from other countries.
If we still lose like this, Dajin may really be doomed.
Scholars in various places are busy preparing poems and essays.
But the capital city fell into a state of grief and anger.
The second day of the Six Nations Poetry Conference,
Ji Wen and Jiang Xing took action.
The rankings of the six gold list scrolls have changed again.
First, Ji Wen topped the "Dream" list, and then Jiang Xing grabbed Qin's "Wind" list.
Ji Wen published another poem, which ranked second on Qi's "Snow" list, shocking the scribes on Qi's envoy team and breaking out in a cold sweat.
But Ji Wen's performance was not over. In addition to one poem on the first day, he also produced four poems on the second day of the Six Nations Poetry Festival.
A total of three ranked first and two ranked second.
But Jiang Xing was a bit worse, only occupying two first places, one third and one fourth.
The two countries of Zhou and Qi actually divided the top of the five golden ranking scrolls, and the only one left was the "Moon" ranking of Chu State.
Qin and Zhao lost their positions on the second day.
It seems to be the same as the Jin Dynasty.
But in fact, Jin's ranking is extremely embarrassing.
Except for his own "water" ranking, which occupied fourth place, the other five rankings were all squeezed out of the top eight.
Among the three countries with the weakest poetry, Jin was the weakest.
Although Qin and Zhao lost their first place, there are still one or two second place, and the rest can remain in the top five.
If the Zhou Kingdom is said to be in a unique category, then the Jin Kingdom is also in a unique category.
The only difference!
It's so bad that it makes people despair and helpless.
No matter how hard we try, there is no chance.
And the bottom line in the hearts of all Jin people in the capital was once again broken through.
The second day of the Six Kingdoms Poetry Festival was also the second day after Jin Dynasty was whipped to death.
Disgrace is not enough to describe the current Jin Dynasty scribes.
The number of scribes gathered in the capital has exceeded 70,000.
On the first day, there were more than 30,000 soldiers, but the entire army was wiped out.
The next day, there were still more than 30,000 scribes who came from all over the country, but the whole army was still wiped out.
The remaining five countries only had a few dozen people, but they trampled under their feet the more than 70,000 scribes of the Jin Dynasty, including Master Wenzong, the first eunuch of the Fourth Academy.
Da Jin, on the other hand, couldn't even mount an effective counterattack.
I can only watch the scribes of Zhou and Qi states pointing out the country, and they are very high-spirited.
The Chu State managed to keep its gold list scroll.
Although Qin and Zhao also failed in the Six Kingdoms Poetry Conference, they were much better than Jin.
If you lose your luck, you can get it back later.
As long as the softest persimmon is still there, what they lose today will be made up over time.
After this Six Kingdoms Poetry Conference, the inferiority of Jin's poetry will become the consensus of the human race.
To harvest and plunder luck, there is no need to test anymore, just do it directly.
Unless it dares to directly launch a war and harvest its luck by attacking cities and territories.
But, does Jin dare?
And even if they start a war, how can they be vegetarians?
It might even speed up the process of swallowing up the Jin Kingdom.
…
On the third day,
Scholars from all over the Jin Kingdom were still pouring into the capital, and even though they knew there was no chance of winning, they still had to give it a try.
The First Supervisor of the Fourth Academy even took action against a third-grade scholar, and finally managed to get second place on the "Water" list.
Facing Ji Wen, he still could only look away and sigh.
Shadows shrouded every corner of the capital.
…
On the fourth day, Jin Dynasty continued to be beaten to death, and the number of scribes gathered from all over the country decreased. It seemed that they were gradually giving up resistance.
Many warriors wanted to take action directly and chop off the heads of other scribes from the five countries.
The capital city went from being extremely depressed to becoming violent.
However, under the threat of a third-grade scholar, any irritability can be suppressed in the heart, forcing people to go crazy.
…
the fifth day,
Every day is a huge torment.
Every Dajin person in the capital is like being locked into a furnace, being heated and burned little by little by the flames.
The golden scroll in the sky became more and more dazzling, and the hearts of everyone were tortured more and more painfully.
The Six Kingdoms Poetry Society and the Jin Dynasty were completely over.
Even if there are still scribes coming one after another, but so many Wenzong masters have taken action, what's the use?
It's just one more defeated general from another country.
Some people took pleasure in their misery and said, "Although we lost this Six Nations Poetry Competition, wasn't it expected from the beginning?"
"At least we can occupy ninth place on the Literary Saints List, which is an improvement from last month."
This remark has also become a magic weapon for many people to comfort themselves.
Ranked ninth on the Literary Saints List, this is barely enough.
If there can be one poem every month that occupies the top ten, it can slow down the loss of luck in the Jin Dynasty.
The longer the delay, the greater the hope.
However, on the sixth day of the Six Nations Poetry Festival,
The situation on the list of literary saints has changed dramatically.
The poems and essays of the Jin Dynasty, ranked ninth, were instantly pushed to the fifteenth place.
The whole country was in an uproar.
People in the capital knew about the Six Kingdoms Poetry Society, but people in other parts of the Jin Dynasty didn't know much about it.
But on the Literary Saint List, as long as the scribes knew, the news that Dajin had fallen to the fifteenth place again soon became known to everyone.
In the imperial city of Beijing, the envoy team of the State of Zhou stood on the tower,
Ji Wen put away his writing paper and smiled at the Zhou scribe beside him,
"Originally, I thought of showing weakness to the enemy and paralyzing the opponent. Now it seems that there is no need at all..."
"How can Jin State like this stop me, Zhou State?"
