Chapter 149: His Wisdom is Near to the Demon (Part 1)
The purpose of half an hour was for the three princes to brainstorm and come up with problems that would stump Ye Qing, and also for Ye Qing to be able to deal with them.
But Ye Qing kept an indifferent attitude from beginning to end, seemingly not paying attention to the three princes' intentions at all, which made Qin Mengxue a little suspicious and had no choice but to send a message.
"Ye Qing, are you sure?"
"Call me husband, otherwise I will refuse to answer!"
"It's so embarrassing! You and I are not married yet, how can we talk about it? Please tell me, are you sure?"
Facing Qin Mengxue's questioning, Ye Qing closed his eyes and calmed down and refused to respond. There was no other way. Qin Mengxue could only blush and call her husband through gritted teeth. Ye Qing immediately smiled away and responded: "Don't worry, the three of them combined
It’s not enough.”
Do you still want to give yourself a question to stump yourself? Little did you know that Ye Qing was in the upper realm. In addition to his terrifying combat power, his monster-like resourcefulness was the most terrifying thing. He just came to the lower realm and had no intrigues with other people.
Opportunities should not be revealed.
With Ye Qing's guarantee, Qin Mengxue's hanging heart finally dropped. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the three princes stood on the same front, looking at Ye Qing coldly, while Ye Qing looked at them with a willful expression.
smile.
As Ye Qing said before, the three of them regarded Ye Qing as a competitor, but Ye Qing never took them into consideration.
"The time is up. If any of the three princes have any questions, just tell them."
The Minister of Civil Affairs snorted angrily and his attitude was very cold.
After all, the competition started in the morning, and now it is evening. He has not yet cultivated his body, and his old arms and legs are nothing like these young people. After standing for a long time, he only feels soreness in his waist and back, and he wishes he could leave the court early and go home.
"Master Ye Pavilion, the three of us have asked a question each. As long as you can answer two of them, you will be considered successful. It is your turn to give us the question, okay?"
"His Royal Highness, King Zhi, opened the mouth of gold. How can I not do it? Just use whatever tricks you have."
"In that case, Master Ye, please listen.
Say there are two iron balls. One weighs a thousand gold and the other weighs only a pound. If two iron balls fall from the same height, who will hit the ground first?"
Ye Qing immediately sneered, glanced at King Zhi lightly, and said: "King Zhi, it's better not to be embarrassed by such stupid questions in the future. If they fall from the same height, they will naturally fall to the ground at the same time."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court, without exception, lamented Ye Qing's answer.
In their opinion, one weighs a thousand kilograms and the other weighs only one kilogram. Naturally, the iron ball weighing a thousand kilograms will hit the ground first!
However, compared to the courtiers, the King's reaction was shockingly ugly.
"Why didn't His Highness Prince Zhi speak? Could it be that I made a mistake?"
"No...no, Pavilion Master Ye's answer is correct."
King Zhi couldn't believe that Ye Qing could answer this question correctly!
You must know that he also discovered this by accident. After many attempts, he got this answer. But how did Ye Qing know it?
"This... how is this possible? The iron ball weighing a thousand kilograms must have landed first. How come they landed at the same time?"
Soon some court officials raised questions. It was not that they were dissatisfied with Ye Qing, but they just felt that their three views had been challenged. Even Qin Mengxue could not understand the reason.
"Well, instead of arguing here endlessly, why not give it a try on the spot and pass on my instructions to get two iron balls, one weighing a thousand gold and the other weighing a pound."
Under Qin Mengxue's imperial edict, two iron balls were quickly fetched. Ye Qing calmly took the iron balls, weighed them, and said, "Would you like to test the weight of King Zhi?"
"No need."
King Zhi shook his head disheartenedly. He still didn't want to believe that Ye Qing could actually answer the question correctly, but the facts were right in front of him. The thoughts he had about competing with Ye Qing completely disappeared at this moment.
Seeing that King Zhi was unwilling to speak or ask any questions, Ye Qing picked up the two iron balls, straightened his arms, and quickly retracted his hands, only to hear a muffled sound and the ground cracked instantly.
That's right, there was only one sound, and the two iron balls actually hit the ground at the same time.
"How is this possible! In this case, what is the meaning of weight?"
Looking at some old antiques who couldn't accept the facts, Ye Qing didn't bother to explain to them. He turned to look at Lu Shikuang and said with a smile: "Come on the question."
"Yes..." Lu Shikuang smiled bitterly. He gradually realized that even if the third round of competition was conducted, the results would not change in any way. But now, with so many eyes staring at him, how could he give up?
"In my early years, my father once asked me a question, how to thread a thread through the winding luminous pearl inside and hang it without using spiritual power. I thought about it for a long time, and it wasn't until three years ago that I finally
I figured out a way."
With that said, Lu Shikuang waved, and the servant quickly brought a luminous pearl. If he looked carefully, he found that there were indeed many winding hollows inside, connecting the two exits.
"If Pavilion Master Ye can figure out a way, then Pavilion Master Ye has answered this question correctly."
Ye Qing took Ye Mingzhu and half-squinted his eyes, as if in deep thought.
Of course, it was not just Ye Qing who was answering the questions, everyone was thinking, staring at the night pearl in Ye Qing's hand and racking their brains, but they still couldn't figure out the reason.
"This question may be a bit difficult. I'll give Pavilion Master Ye some time..."
Lu Shikuang was about to say something, but he saw Ye Qing wave his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't take an hour, I can tell you the answer right now."
Ye Qing put down the Night Pearl, looked at Qin Mengxue, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I need a few ants, a piece of silk and some honey."
Hearing this, Lu Shikuang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, bowed and saluted: "Master Ye Pavilion is indeed very wise, I admire him."
After listening to Ye Qing's words, the others gradually came back to their senses. While they were amazed at Ye Qing's thoughtfulness, they also couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Ants like sweetness. If you apply honey to the two exits, tie silk to the ants, and stuff it into one of the holes, the ants will definitely crawl out of the other exit. It is a very simple method, but if you want to
It's not that easy to think of this.
As for Qin Mengxue, she almost laughed out loud.
In the past, she only thought that Ye Qing's talent in cultivating a discipline was extraordinary. Today, when she saw that her man was so talented and resourceful, she was of course delighted!
"Well...two questions have been answered correctly. Does His Highness Wang Chang plan to ask more questions?"
Wang Chang suddenly hesitated, and after a moment of silence, he said: "You are great, but don't forget, as long as we can answer your questions correctly, we haven't lost yet!"
"This is natural. In this case, the three princes should listen carefully."
