Chapter 225: Rhetorical Question
Yi Huo Guang smiled, "The answer is very simple, this sentence is: Can the Buddha create a big stone that he can't lift?"
As soon as this answer came out of the hall, there was an instant silence, but it only lasted for a short while, and the ministers began to whisper again, because this sentence sounded very ordinary, ministers, you look at me, I see that you don't understand the situation, no one understands why this sentence was said, and the monk was speechless.
But at this moment, Jin Judong, whose eyes were wide and his lips were slightly open, he couldn't believe his ears, he searched all over the Qin Han sage to come up with the question, Huo Guang could say the answer so easily, and the person who was really stunned was himself.
After a lot of discussions, everyone still didn't know whether the answer given by Huo Guang was correct, and the final choice fell on Jin Judong. But he didn't want to speak, he didn't want to tell everyone that what Huo Guang said was exactly the same as the correct answer in his heart.
"Is the answer correct?" Emperor Wu's deep voice drifted into Jin Judong's ears, and he couldn't pretend not to hear it.
Jin Judong once again did what he didn't want to do and announced the results of the answer.
"Gunma's answer is correct." Jin Judong glanced at Huo Guang fiercely, but only saw a handsome and calm face, the most angry emotion was not Huo Guang's provocation and arrogance, but Huo Guang had no emotion at all, calmly and calmly like Jin Judong did not exist at all, and he was not competing with it, just answering the simplest questions, ignoring it was the most terrible attitude.
After Jin Judong announced the results, the ministers were in an uproar, but Huo Guang didn't react at all, and didn't even give Jin Judong a trace of feedback, he was angry and said sharply, "Jun Ma knows that the answer is not difficult, so do you know why this sentence made the monk stunned?" ”
As soon as this additional question came out, Emperor Wu couldn't help frowning, and the ministers also held their breath, and at this moment, everyone's attention fell on Huo Guang again.
Jin Judong's heart was beating rapidly, and it was the first time he looked at Huo Guang so nervously, he hoped that this additional question would put Huo Guang in a difficult situation, but this hope only lasted for the blink of an eye.
Huo Guang calmly tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Of course I know." "The hall, which was originally a little commotion because of Jin Judong's slightly fault-finding additional question, instantly quieted down.
"The Buddha is omnipotent, then he must be able to build a stone that he can't hold. But if he can't hold it, he is naturally not omnipotent!"
Everyone repeated Huo Guang's words in their hearts several times before they understood the mystery, and they all sighed at Huo Guang's wisdom, including the high-ranking Emperor Wu, he could no longer hide his love for Huo Guang in his heart, and then there was another question, as long as Huo Guang answered correctly, he would agree to whatever reward he wanted.
"You, how would you know! Impossible, impossible. Jin Judong pointed at Huo Guang almost hysterically.
But Huo Guang didn't care at all, "It's very simple, it's just a loophole in the logic, I know a lot of this type of topic." After speaking, Huo Guang uncharacteristically gave Jin Judong an expression, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose, hooking up an intriguing arc, "General Jin, don't be impatient, you still have a question, what if I can't answer it?" ”
Jin Judong slowly withdrew his fingers, shook his arm vigorously, and said in his heart, yes, there is another question, he must not be able to answer it, and coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment just now.
"My third question, please listen carefully, there is a well a total of 7 meters deep, there is a snail from the bottom of the well to climb up, climb 3 meters during the day and fall down 2 meters at night, ask how many days can the snail climb out of the well?"
Hearing this question, Huo Guang almost laughed, originally thought that as the finale topic, Jin Judong would come up with a relatively difficult question, at least let himself think more before he could answer it, ordinary people will have difficulty in asking questions, it seems that Jin Judong here not only usually talks without brains, but even competes with others is so undisciplined.
Huo Guang looked at Jin Judong with clear eyes without waves, and sighed softly.
This sigh gave Jin Judong the wrong signal, he thought that Huo Guang couldn't answer, and the arrogance overwhelmed him again, Jin Judong turned sideways to Huo Guang proudly, "Junma is already very good, you can answer the two questions I asked, even if you can't answer this third question, there is nothing to be ashamed of, Junma has defeated many people in your country, and he is a wise man." ”
Listening to Jin Judong's joke-like words, Huo Guang couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and said slowly, "Although Huo Guang is not talented, he didn't answer General Jin's two questions correctly, but three. ”
Jin Judong was stunned, he stood in place, looking at Huo Guang, "You, what are you talking about?" ”
Huo Guang didn't bother to look at Jin Judong's startled expression again. "It only takes five days for the snail to climb out of the well." ”
"Why not 7 days?" A minister behind him hurriedly said.
The corners of Huo Guang's mouth hooked slightly, "Obviously, the snail actually only moves up 1 meter per day, but it should be noted that if it has reached the wellhead, it will not fall, which is the confusing place of this problem." After figuring out this, you will know that the snail climbed 4 meters in the first 4 days, and climbed 3 meters during the day on the 5th day, and climbed out directly, so the snail actually climbed out of the well in 5 days. ”
The ministers suddenly realized again, made an "oh" sound, and kept praising Huo Guang as the first wise man.
Jin Judong's feet were weak, he staggered back two steps, and almost fell, but fortunately he was helped left and right.
He never expected that Huo Guang would really answer three questions, no one had answered all of these questions correctly, and in order to keep it secret, he had never told anyone the correct answer, Huo Guang could not cheat, there was only one conclusion, Huo Guang was really wise, he was really smart and could even answer the most difficult questions.
You don't need to ask, just look at Jin Judong's reaction to know that Huo Guang also answered the third question correctly. Emperor Wu was happy in his heart, and immediately wanted to reward Huo Guang.
But Huo Guang refused the reward, and what everyone didn't expect was that Huo Guang said another thing.
"Since General Jin invited me to compete in wits, then naturally there are questions and answers, just now I answered General Jin's three questions, and now I also ask General Jin to answer my three questions."
Jin Judong only thought about asking Huo Guang questions by himself, so he collected three questions that he found the most difficult to answer before the mission, but Huo Guang was a person who did not follow the routine, not only answering all the questions but also asking questions.
Jin Judong swallowed his saliva, no matter what, he could only bite the bullet, "Of course you can, Jun Ma asked casually." ”
