Baopuzi's eyes lit up. This is a good suggestion!
He and Lin Caiquan knew each other well. No matter who set the questions, there would be bias and they would choose questions that were beneficial to them.
But it’s different if Qin Yuan, an outsider, sets the questions.
In any case, no matter who it benefits, it is God's will.
For them, it's all in line with the will of heaven.
Thinking of this, Baopuzi stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and slammed the table: "Let's do it!"
Then, the two of them said in unison: "Please ask the question, Master Qin!"
Qin Yuan waved his hand and said, "The two Taoist priests think too highly of me. I only have a superficial understanding of Taoism, and I am completely clueless about its magical powers."
"How can you ask questions to test two Taoist priests?"
Baopuzi smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Qin, you are wrong. It takes an outsider like you to set the questions, only then it is in accordance with the will of heaven!"
"That's right!" Lin Caiquan also echoed, "Just ask the questions, sir. As long as you ask the questions, we two will have nothing to say. It's just the right time to decide the winner!"
Baopuzi was also full of confidence and shouted loudly: "Excellent! One round will decide the outcome!"
"In that case, it's hard for Qin to refuse." Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said to the two of them.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little weird.
Baopuzi and Lin Caiquan felt a chill on their backs at the same time, as if they had fallen into a deep pit that had existed for thousands of years.
After a while.
Qin Yuan slowly said, "Listen carefully, Taoist priests. The third test question is—"
"Why did the apple fall to the ground? I hope the two Taoist priests can explain it and give us the reason!"
What?
What the hell?
Baopuzi and Lin Caiquan looked at each other, both stunned by Qin Yuan's question.
Why do apples fall to the ground?
Apples just fall to the ground!
There's no reason for this!
How do you explain this?
Isn't the train of thought of this destined person too strange?
What are the problems?
Qin Yuan saw that the two learned old Taoist priests were frightened by his question and hesitated to speak.
He was not in a hurry. He first took a sip of tea slowly, and then looked up at the two of them.
He chuckled and said, "Do you two Taoist priests think that Qin's question is too unbelievable?"
"you do not say!"
Lin Caiquan immediately opened up his chatterbox, rambling non-stop: "Master Qin!"
"Your exam question really makes me ashamed!"
"An apple is an apple. If it hangs on a tree, it will fall to the ground. Why should there be any reason?"
Qin Yuan shook his head and explained, "Master Lin, this is wrong!"
"This isn't just an Apple issue; it's a deeper issue encompassing astronomy and geography."
"It covers astronomy and geography?" Lin Caiquan and Baopuzi were both confused.
What does the falling of an apple have to do with astronomy and geography?
Qin Yuan paused and continued, "This question can be asked in a different way."
"Why is it that no matter how hard you throw something up, it always falls to the ground?"
"Even if a human tries their best to jump up, they still can't fly like a bird and will still fall to the ground. Why is that?"
"But why can birds spread their wings and fly?"
"This..." Lin Caiquan and Baopuzi were speechless at this moment.
They really have never thought about such a question!
It seems that in our impression, all of this is the law of nature and a common thing, but why is this so?
I watched the two people's expressions change from shock to seriousness.
Qin Yuan knew the time was ripe, and he continued, "Do you two Taoist priests still think this question is unreasonable?"
Baopuzi's expression was extremely solemn. He muttered, "Young Master Qin's question is truly too complicated. It seems to be directly pointing to the origin of the Great Dao..."
Lin Caiquan nodded slightly: "Although this question is complicated, it is fair to both of you and me!"
Baopuzi also deeply agreed: "Indeed, please tell me a deadline, Master Qin."
Qin Yuan shrugged and said with a smile, "What do you think of three years? Whoever answers first and best will win!"
Baopuzi and Lin Caiquan exchanged a glance, both agreeing, "Let's do as Young Master Qin says!"
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Qin Yuan smiled even more happily and said, "Masters, I have another idea!"
"Qin feels that since this is a competition between two sects, it shouldn't be limited to just two Taoist priests, just two people."
"Why not gather all the talented people in the sect, find a place to stay in Jingzhou City, and study this problem carefully?"
"You two can rest assured. As the magistrate of Jingzhou, I, Qin, will take full responsibility for the food, drink and lodging!"
Hearing this.
Baopuzi and Lin Caiquan were both shocked.
Why do they feel like something is not right?
But after thinking about Qin Yuan's words, they felt that there was nothing wrong with it and it was indeed very reasonable.
That's strange.
What exactly is wrong?
The two were confused.
At this moment, Qin Yuan said again: "Two Taoist priests, Qin will give you a hint."
"This question is related to the operation of the stars in the sky."
"What?!" Baopuzi and Lin Caiquan exclaimed in surprise.
Does this have anything to do with the stars in the sky?
How is this possible!
Qin Yuan started to set traps for the two again: "Both Taoist priests are good at stargazing."
"I wonder if you two Taoist priests have ever thought about why the star map changes every moment, why some stars appear in the same position at regular intervals, and why the moon waxes and wanes."
