Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 171
"Then, how can I drink that glass of wine?" Ding Ermiao asked nonchalantly, looking at the clam shell holding the wine in front of him.

Wang Huzi said angrily: "It was my mother-in-law who lost just now, not me. So if you want to drink this glass of wine, you must beat me and everyone here."

When Li Weinian heard this, he also looked at Wang Huzi angrily.In addition to Miss Qiao who was defeated just now, there are also Taoist priests, scholars, and Wang Huzi.Everyone has to come up with a problem, how long will it take?
"In that case, I can drink it now, haha..." Ding Ermiao didn't take it seriously. He laughed loudly and reached out to get the wine. He said at the same time: "The only people here are me and myself." Two brothers, Li Weinian. You are all ghosts and are not among them."

"Fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong." Hong Liu stretched out his hand to block Ding Ermiao and said: "Humans and ghosts are the same kind. It's just that they are human today and ghosts tomorrow. Then they will be human again, die again, and become ghosts again, and so on. It’s just a cycle. Brother Beard said there are people here, so there’s nothing wrong with it.”

"That's not necessarily the case. Like you, you studied Taoism during your lifetime, but after your death you did not take the initiative to register in the Yama Hall, and stayed in the world to do evil. I'm afraid that the Master of the Sanqing Dynasty will not be able to protect you, and you will fall into the animal realm in your next life. "

Ding Ermiao pushed away Hongliu's hand and was about to bring the wine, but unexpectedly, Wang Huzi took the lead and had already brought the clam shell over and placed it in front of him.

"Okay, okay, I've convinced you. If you have anything to say, come up with something, come up with any questions. Who will go first?" Ding Ermiao waved his hand impatiently.

The four water ghosts looked at each other. The scholar adjusted his clothes and cupped his hands and said, "In that case, Liang Liang will have a chat with Mr. Ding first and ask Mr. Ding for more advice."

Ding Ermiao waved her hand and asked him to speak quickly.

"Cough cough..." The scholar coughed twice, and said slowly: "Liang Liang studied poetry and books hard since he was a child, but he is stupid by nature, and there are three questions in his life that he doesn't understand. Please Mr. Ding for advice."

Three questions?Ding Ermiao's head flashed with black lines, and he thought to himself, I'm not a teacher, how can I teach you and solve your doubts?

But since the other party has drawn a line, he cannot avoid it.Junior sister Wu Zhanzhan's soul is still in their hands, and only by convincing them one by one can they hand it over with sincerity.

"Tell me, tell me, I will be your teacher for once today. I will teach you tirelessly and teach you a bad scholar!"

Seeing Ding Ermiao's full promise, Liang Liang couldn't help being refreshed, stood up and bowed to thank him.Then he straightened his gown and sat down, and then he opened his mouth solemnly and said:
"Liang Liang was reading ancient books at night and saw this question in "Sun Zi Suan Jing": 'Today there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage, with 35 heads on top and 94 legs on the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there?' Liang Liang gradually calculated, In the end, the result was obtained, but the deduction was very slow. Suwen Maoshan disciples are proficient in magic and are good at deduction of formation changes. I wonder how Mr. Ding can solve this problem using Mr. Ding’s method?"

Ding Ermiao felt like thunder was rolling in the sky, and the inside was burnt and the outside was yellow! ——The scholar of feelings comes to test his mathematical skills?

This is just an arithmetic problem about "chicken and rabbit in the same cage". What it means is that chicken and rabbit have a total of 35 heads and 94 legs. How many rabbits and chickens are there?

Although Ding Ermiao did not formally enroll in school, he had seen these topics in ancient Taoist books.

"Brother Ermiao, I did this problem when I was a child, let me do the math..." Li Weinian didn't understand what Liang Liang meant, so he declared himself brave, squatted down, and started paddling on the ground.

"That's nonsense! Twelve rabbits, 23 chickens." Ding Ermiao pulled Li Weinian up and said, "This nerdy scholar has already calculated the answer. What he needs now is an idea and method to solve the problem."

"Yes, yes..." Liang Liang looked a little surprised and said, "That's what I mean. Mr. Ding reported the answer casually, and I think he must have a quick calculation method. Please enlighten me."

Li Weinian was stunned for a while, then slapped his forehead: "There is a linear equation in two variables that can be calculated quickly, but it's a pity that I forgot it. If only Wan Shugao were here, he must know that he is a college student..."

"What kind of college students do you want?" Ding Ermiao rolled his eyes at Li Weinian.

Then he rolled his eyes at Liang Liang again and said: "Such a simple question, you still need me to use mathematical calculations? It is still recorded in "Sun Zi Suan Jing"? I really don't know, is that Sun Tzu too self-righteous, or is it you? Scholars are too stupid!”

Liang Liang's face turned red and he handed over his hand again: "Please enlighten me."

"Listen up! Idiot." Ding Ermiao raised his right arm, made a sword with one palm, and made a false chop, saying:

"Suppose I use a knife to chop off two legs from each rabbit and chicken. In this way, a total of seventy legs are chopped off. All the chickens have no legs and can only sit on the ground. And the rabbits still have two legs. It has two legs, but it is still standing. At this time, there are still 24 standing legs in total, divided by two, it is the number of rabbits, twelve. "

Having said this, Ding Ermiao chuckled, pointed at Sister Qiao and said, "Hey, you can count with just twelve fingers."

Sister Qiao suddenly blushed and quickly put her hands behind her back.

Ding Ermiao looked at Liang Liang and continued: "35 minus twelve, we get the number of chickens, 23. Do you understand, idiot?"

Liang Liang was in a daze for a long time, then suddenly stood up and bowed to Ding Ermiao on the ground: "Mr. Ding is good at planning, Liang Liang admires him, admires him!"

"Brother Ermiao, I'm really convinced by you. How did you come up with such a simple and direct method?" Li Weinian was also overjoyed and clapped his hands in celebration.

Hong Liu and Qiao Jie'er also showed expressions of surprise, but Wang Huzi disagreed and gave them a cold look.

Ding Ermiao laughed loudly, waved towards Liang Liang and said, "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask."

"The second point that I don't understand in my life is actually related to the number of spells." Liang Liang continued to ask for advice, "It's a long story. I passed by the wall of the neighbor's courtyard that day and heard the couple arguing. The man They said 23-21, and the woman said [-]-[-], and they argued endlessly, and finally got into a fight..."

"It is the responsibility of scholars like us to live in harmony with each other. I went over the wall to mediate between the couple and told the man that 21-[-] was the right solution. Who knew that the man in that family was so unreasonable that he even told me Let’s fight!”

Liang Liang continued with an angry look on his face: "I was so angry that I sued my neighbor to the county government. But what made me aggrieved was that the dog magistrate actually let my neighbor go and beat me thirty times! I want to ask I asked Mr. Ding, is it possible that when three or seven are multiplied, the result is not 21?"

"Hahaha..." Ding Ermiao laughed loudly: "Well done, well done! If I were the county magistrate, I would beat you at least a hundred times!"
