Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 591 Tailor-made Questions

To put it bluntly, this matter is not good for Jia Changsheng, nor for others. After all, this kind of question is too difficult for others. It is too difficult to complete this kind of question, especially for grown men like them to use female characters as a breakthrough point. It is even more difficult. It is a task that they themselves find difficult to complete. If they let others complete it, it will be even more unreliable. Moreover, after the first question came out, all of them had an idea in their minds, what if this kid had prepared it before? What if this kid knew the question before? So this time someone directly stood up and said it again.

"I think this topic is not very good. You can write about monks or priests, but it is a bit unreasonable to use female characters as the starting point. We are all grown men. If we use women as the starting point, we can't write poetry at all. So I disagree with this. Secondly, since this poem is going to be changed and mainly focuses on male characters, then write a story about a male monk, so please come up with a new topic with male characters as the main focus. Otherwise, I think our written test will be unfair."

Someone started it, and naturally the others followed suit. After all, they had never written a poem with women as the entry point, and they had even written quite a few similar poems, but the entry point was mainly men. If they changed it to women, it would be a bit out of place, and they would not be able to win. It would also be very difficult for them, so they all refused directly. When all the people refused, several judges felt a little embarrassed. They did not expect that they had deliberately increased the difficulty, but it aroused opposition from everyone. However, since everyone opposed it, they had no choice. What others opposed was their implementation. If they insisted on going their own way, it would easily lead to bad consequences, which they could not accept. So at this moment, the judges directly rejected the previous proposal, and one judge said directly.

"Since everyone disagrees, then let's forget about it, shall we? Let's not focus on female characters, but on men. It's fine to focus on male characters, but I'll still use the same topic as before, but I'll change it a little. Why don't I come up with the topic this time? After all, not everyone can come up with the topic together."

However, his words were once again opposed by many people. After all, it was easy for problems to arise when one person set the questions. So at this moment, no one was willing to give in and no one was willing to admit defeat. They all said that this question could not be answered by one person alone. Even if they planned to ask two or three people to answer it, it would still not work. In the end, Jia Changsheng had to speak out.

"Since you think that it is not possible for one or two people to come up with questions, then let the ten judges come up with questions on their own. Let's come up with questions together. Isn't the title of our question a story? Or let's write a story about a monk. Then let the judges write a story about a monk, mainly a male monk, or write a story related to monks. Then each of the ten judges will say a sentence about the story. For example, let's write about us. I won't use monks as an example. Let me give you an example."

"I will use a Taoist priest as an example to write this. The first person can say that the Taoist priest is now 30 years old. The second one says that the Taoist priest wants to go down the mountain and marry a wife. The third one can use this as a basis to say that although he wants to delete it, he has no money. The fourth one says that he stole money from the Taoist temple in order to go down the mountain and finally went down the mountain. The fifth one said that he was robbed while going down the mountain. The sixth one said that after being robbed, he was too embarrassed to go back to the Taoist temple, so he became a bandit again. The seventh one said that he was a bandit but was arrested before he could steal any money. The eighth one said that he was rescued halfway because of other robbers, joined the mountain stronghold, and ended up marrying a wife. The ninth one said that the mountain stronghold was besieged and he almost died, but he escaped with serious injuries. The tenth one said that he was seriously ill and might die. Let's take this as an example."

It must be said that Jia Changsheng's proposal was instantly recognized by everyone. Although they did not want to recognize Jia Changsheng, Jia Changsheng's proposal was acceptable to everyone because it was the fairest. It was this fairness that made them feel that Jia Changsheng's proposal was very good. Even all the students present agreed with it, and even the judges agreed with it. So the chief judge said.

"I think this method is okay. There are ten of us with ten different ideas. I said he was going down the mountain, and I hoped he could go down the mountain, but the second person said he had no money. Normally, the idea of ​​loving me is that he has prepared the money and the news has been sent down the mountain. As a result, you said he had no money and couldn't go down the mountain, so he went to steal things, and then stole money. Well, he should have been able to marry a wife after going down the mountain. The third person can say that he was robbed or lost, or something happened and he spent the money, so he couldn't marry a wife anyway. Or you can also say that he wanted to marry a wife, but he didn't have enough money, so he tried to rob money, and so on. There are too many such changes. Ten people can give you ten questions, and the last one is a story composed of all ten words. It is basically impossible to cheat." "Personally, I agree with this. Method, but I can't have the final say. I think this method is OK, but if you think it's not OK, then just ignore what I said. Now everyone give me an opinion. Do you think it's OK? If you think it's OK, then we'll do it this way. If you think it's not OK, then forget it. If you all think it's OK, then we'll start to give questions. Each of the ten judges will say a sentence or a paragraph to string together the whole story, and then you can write poems with these words. At the same time, I would like to remind you that if any of you have a Tianjin or master-disciple relationship with us, please automatically ignore what we said, otherwise it will easily make others think that you are cheating or we are helping you cheat, which will be difficult to deal with. "

"Or you can write a poem based on the context or ideas of the whole story, or the plot of the whole story. If it roughly matches, then we won't count it as cheating. So next it depends on your luck. If you have written something similar about monks before, then it will be easy. And this time we are not only going to write about the fact of monks, but also to focus on one point, that is, the monks marrying wives or the monks having someone they like. In this way, I have never heard of such a thing, so this poem will definitely be recognized by everyone. Judges and all students, what do you think?"

Just as the chief judge said, in the countless years in the past, there has never been such a situation in the empire. Whether it is the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, or other countries, there has never been a fact that a monk likes someone, or a monk marries a wife. This fact is really a bit outrageous, and it has never been heard of. There is absolutely no precedent for saying something like this, so there will be no problem of cheating. Therefore, all the judges nodded, and none of the students below refused. This time the matter was finally settled, and after it was settled, the chief judge said directly.

"Since there are no more questions, I will start with the topic. Since it is about a monk and the person he loves, I will start with it. I will first say that this monk grew up in a temple, but after he became an adult, he fell in love with a girl who came to the temple to burn incense."

The chief judge's words directly brought out the contradiction. A young monk who grew up in a temple fell in love with a girl who came to the temple to burn incense. These two were destined to have no good results. However, this also directly increased the difficulty of the poem. It is too difficult to write such a poem, and all the chief judges were confused. It is really difficult for us to write this. However, the chief judge has already spoken, and the second judge had to speak as well. Just when everyone was thinking, one of the judges stood up and was the second runner-up.

"The young monk originally thought that he was a monk and should not cause trouble to the female donor, nor should he tell her that he liked her. However, he did not expect that the young and beautiful woman also fell in love with the young monk. Even though she knew that the young monk was a monk, she still told him her feelings, and they both agreed that if possible, they would get married. However, before the young monk's master died, he entrusted the entire temple to the young monk and asked him to be the abbot of the temple and maintain it. This made the young monk a little embarrassed for a while."

Hearing the words of the second judge, all the students present were a little confused. You two judges are not human. The first one told you that the little monk liked the little girl, and the second one said that the two of them had decided to spend their lives together. As a result, when the little monk was about to leave, he was locked in ten seconds by the master's dying words. He couldn't leave this contradiction. Isn't it out? However, it is too difficult to write such facts. Just when they were in a dilemma, the third judge's eyes lit up and said. "This little monk was actually devoted to Buddhism, but he couldn't control the throbbing in his heart. So he wanted to practice in the temple and marry this girl. So he asked the Buddha in the hall what to do about this matter. He didn't want to delay his practice. He wanted to practice under the Buddha and manage the temple well. At the same time, he also wanted to be with the girl. He was so entangled that he didn't know how to choose for a while."

"The Buddha did not reply to him, but he felt that he had achieved his goal. Since the Buddha wanted to teach him to follow his heart, he would continue to practice. If he liked young women, he would be with them. Therefore, he chose to be with the woman secretly, but he could not marry her after all."

"And the fact that the two of them were together was eventually discovered by powerful people."

Good fellow, all the judges and students present took a deep breath and exclaimed, good fellow, you have thrown out a difficult problem now, a monk who is devoted to Buddhism chooses to be with a woman for the sake of the woman he likes, but because of his devotion to Buddhism, he cannot leave the temple, isn't this going to create this man resentment towards the woman, and the other judges also had their own thoughts when they heard this. The fourth judge stood up and said.

"After the people in the city found out about the monk and the girl, they asked the monk to break up with the girl immediately, otherwise he would have to stop being the abbot. But the monk listened to his master's last words and wanted to be the abbot. He had no choice but to go find the girl to end the relationship with him. But the girl was unwilling and wanted the monk to leave the temple directly."

Then, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth judges spoke up and perfectly presented this story. "The young monk naturally couldn't give up his master's forest, so he was finally willing to leave. And the young woman didn't want the young monk to be a monk for life, so she wanted him to be with her and return to secular life to get married. This matter became more and more serious, and the woman's family knew about it, so they found the monk temple."

"Unfortunately, when these family members came, the young monk still couldn't give up his obsession and couldn't leave Buddhism, but he still wanted to be with the woman. In the end, he proposed a condition that he would marry the woman and become a monk after the marriage. Unfortunately, the woman's parents couldn't agree. After all, they had raised the child with great difficulty. How could they let the child be alone to watch the ancient Buddha?"

"Neither side wants to let the people in the temple hope that the young monk will stay and continue to be a particle to develop the temple. The girl's parents hope that the boy can be pregnant and be with their daughter, so that their daughter will have less homesickness."

"As the incident became a big deal, the monk was targeted by people from surrounding villages, towns and even other temples. His reputation was damaged. The woman didn't want the monk to suffer any loss, so she reluctantly left and moved with her parents. The monk didn't know what happened until after the woman left."

"A few days later, when the young monk went to look for the girl, he found that her family had moved away. Finally, he found a letter from the new resident of the girl's home. He knew from his heart that the girl had left in order not to delay his practice."

"The young monk couldn't accept it for a while, and he felt hopeless. Finally, he lay on the bed in the temple, dying, but he was unwilling to close his eyes. Moreover, he had an obsession in his heart that he couldn't let go. Finally, he wrote a poem based on this obsession."

After hearing the whole story, Jia Changsheng was speechless. I wrote this topic tailor-made for myself.
