Chivalrous Song Dynasty

"Okay, then I will worship you as my teacher." Xiao Feng said with a smile.Unexpectedly, Bai Sheng suddenly turned to him: "Great! There is a saying in my hometown that if you want to learn well, you should sleep with the master first. What about the two of us tonight?"

"Get out!" Xiao Feng pushed Bai Sheng away a few feet.

Jiang Jing saw Bai Sheng and the handsome scholar muttering and fighting, felt slighted, and felt very uncomfortable. When Bai Sheng was pushed away, he quickly reminded: "Master Bai, please come up with a question."

Bai Sheng nodded with a smile, and said: "It's okay to come up with a question, but I have to think of an easier one. It's too difficult for you to solve."

This sentence is really not Bai Sheng bragging, Goldbach guessed, can Jiang Jing do it?Of course, Bai Sheng couldn't do it either.

Then there are the limit and continuity, trigonometric functions and so on that he learned in high school. Jiang Jing definitely doesn't know these things, but he can't ask such questions, can he?

Not to mention that he himself has almost forgotten it and can't remember it for a while, but even if he does remember it, how can he express it in ancient grammar?What's the matter with writing sin and cos?There's no way out of this question.

Hard problems can't be solved, and simple ones can't be solved.The four arithmetic calculations in elementary school are definitely impossible. If Jiang Jing can't even calculate this, it is absolutely impossible to be called a magic operator.The mathematical achievements of the Song Dynasty were not so weak.

He is thinking hard about the topic here, but Jiang Jing's boss is not angry, thinking that you, Bai Sheng, are alarmist.

How difficult can it be?As long as it is not within the scope of "Zhou Bi Suan Jing", "Nine Chapters of Suan Shu", "Sea Island Suan Jing", "Five Classics of Suan Shu", "Ji Gu Suan Jing", "Zi Shu Shu", there will be no difficult problems I!

But Bai Sheng's eyes wandered, and suddenly he stopped on the wine jar and the sixteen abacus beads on the table.

He stared at these things for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, I will borrow these two things you gambled earlier, plus the empty bag under the table, and give you two questions. If you answer the first question correctly You don’t have to answer the second question to count as your pass, if you don’t answer the first question correctly, it’s just as if I’m giving you an extra chance, how about that?”

Jiang Jing was very excited, and thought that you were overdoing it. Using my things to write the question not only limited the question itself, but also the amount of calculation was definitely not large, because there was only one wine jar and sixteen grains. Beads and more than a dozen money bags, you can ask me to add, subtract, multiply and divide these things to find the formula!

And you actually dare to ask me two questions, isn't that giving me a chance to win?Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Okay, Lord Baizhai, let's make a deal. If I still can't answer one question, I don't need to live in the world anymore!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard it, so what?This Jiang Jing risked his life for his reputation?But if you think about it the other way around, you can feel Jiang Jing's strong confidence. Since you dare to say that, the chances of winning must be close!

Bai Sheng clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Okay! Village Master Jiang is really happy, then I will come up with the next question, let's talk about the first question first."

While speaking, he bent down and picked out five money bags from under the table, put them on the table, and put away eight beads in his hand, then pointed to the remaining eight beads on the table and continued: "Account these eight beads. Beads are placed in these five money bags, and it is required that there are beads in each bag, and the number of beads in each bag is even. If you can do it, you will win."

Jiang Jing was dumbfounded immediately after listening.Is this difficult?It's not difficult at all, the problem is that it's impossible to do!

Not only Jiang Jing was dumbfounded, but everyone else was also dumbfounded. Only eight beads were given, but there were five bags. Each bag must have at least two beads in it to count as an even number, right?But after putting the first four, how to put the fifth bag?There are not enough beads!

Even Xiao Feng laughed, and said: "Bai Sheng, it's too inhumane for you to pose a question like this, you have to give someone at least ten beads."

Bai Sheng curled his lips and said, "If I give him ten beads, can it still be considered a problem? If that's the case, ask anyone around here who can't solve it?"

When Xiao Feng thought about it, it was really such a thing, but the eight beads must not work, this problem has become so difficult that there is no solution.

This principle is too simple, and almost everyone understands it, so Jiang Jing didn't think much about it at all, and just shook his head, "There is no solution to this problem! I believe Master Baizhai, you can't solve it either."

This time even Xiao Feng was speaking for Jiang Jing: "I think so too, Bai Sheng, you definitely can't do the same!"

Bai Sheng said with a smile: "Whether this problem is solved or not is not up to you, Mr. Jiang, you can just say whether you can solve it or not."

Jiang Jing said decisively: "I, Jiang Jing, can't solve it!"

Bai Sheng ignored Jiang Jing, but turned around and whispered to Xiao Feng: "If I can untie it, would you like to come with me tonight?"

Xiao Feng was ashamed and angry at the same time, "Pooh", lowered his voice and said: "Why do you always think about this matter?"

Bai Sheng laughed mischievously and said, "It's comfortable!"

After finishing speaking, he no longer flirted with Xiao Feng, but straightened his face and said in a clear voice: "Everyone, please take care of me." After finishing speaking, he picked up the beads and put them in the bag.

Two bags per bag, and four bags were quickly filled. Seeing this, people couldn't help laughing, but let's see what you put in your fifth bag!

But Bai Sheng stuffed all the four bags that had already been packed into the fifth bag, then raised the fifth bag high above his head with one hand, and said, "Tell me, how many pills are there in this bag?" bead?"

"Eight grains!" Someone rushed to answer immediately.

Bai Sheng immediately asked, "Is eight an even number?"

"Uh"

At this moment, people suddenly understood the mystery, some people exclaimed: "Wonderful!" Some people questioned: "Is this okay?"

Bai Sheng asked back, "Why is this not working? Did I say that you are not allowed to put bags into other bags?"

"Uh that's not true"

Jiang Jing was so angry. On the one hand, he blamed himself for failing to think of this, and on the other hand, he was angry with Bai Sheng for cheating, and complained: "Is this also called an arithmetic problem?"

Bai Sheng laughed and said, "Why can't it be called? Let me tell you, it's called an Olympiad problem!"

Jiang Jing thought about it for a long time but didn't understand what the Olympiad is, so he could only admit that he was unlucky, and said unwillingly: "Is there a second question?"

Bai Sheng smiled and said: "The second question is easier." He put down the money bag, patted the wine jar with his free hand, and then made a hand like a standing palm, and said, "Cut this palm down." , turn this jar into five big pieces and ten small pieces, can you do it?"

Everyone gasped again, thinking that this question is even more difficult. This is not just an arithmetic question, but also a test of the respondent's control of palm strength. Seeing Bai Sheng's confident appearance, he must be able to It has been done, the question is who else can do it?

Jiang Jing didn't think it was a test of palm strength. He had seen similar problems in some weird arithmetic problems. He felt that it needed to consider the angle and continuity of the cut.Assuming that the palm is used as a knife, as long as the knife does not stop and recover, it can cut skillfully on the wine jar.

But this requirement is really too high. If it is two big pieces, four small pieces, etc., you can imagine one or two, how to cut these five big pieces and ten small pieces?I just can't think of it!There is no need to even try it, although there are still a few empty jars on the ground.

Seeing that the sun in the sky had turned to the west, people's stomachs were already rumbling, Jiang Jing was still standing at the table thinking hard, Ou Peng couldn't bear it anymore, so he persuaded: "Second brother, admit defeat."

This time, no one dared to ask Bai Sheng to perform in person to prove that the problem was solvable, and no one wanted to lose someone again.

Even Xiao Feng didn't dare, she was afraid that if she got involved with Bai Sheng again this time, she might really have to do that with him at night.

The setting sun shone on Jiang Jing's pale and haggard face, and his desperate expression made people suddenly feel pity.Suddenly, he picked up the abacus in his hand and cut it down on his own neck.

It has long been noticed that the edge on one side of the abacus is a sharp knife edge.

Chapter 121

Jiang Jing waved "count" and killed himself, and everyone was caught off guard, and they all exclaimed in surprise, eager to rescue them.

"Second brother!"

"I can't make it!"

"brother!"

The other three brothers in Huangmen Mountain didn't move slowly, but they couldn't stop them. Seeing blood burst out, and their souls returned to the west, the three brothers in Mangdang Mountain couldn't bear to look directly at them, so they didn't turn their heads away, while Xiao Feng simply closed his eyes. eyes.

No one insisted on letting Jiang Jing die, no one thought Jiang Jing deserved to die like this, and everyone felt that this kind of death was not worth it.

However, in the next moment, people had to doubt their eyes, because the scene they expected did not appear.

Blood, there is indeed blood, but it is not in the form of a spurt, but drips down a corner of the abacus.Jiang Jing didn't return to the west, and he was still standing there.

The abacus with a very sharp long frame was being held by two hands, one of which belonged to Jiang Jing, and it was grasped by the blunt and round short frame.But the bleeding hand on the long border was Bai Sheng's.
