I only recognize the first part of the drama version of "Jiang Ye", which not only fits the original book, but also fits the character image very well. There is a scene in the play where Ning Que entered the second floor of the academy and took the entrance exam, in which there was a math problem, the original text is as follows:
In the spring of that year, the master traveled to the country, met the peach mountain wine, then found a path to climb the mountain to enjoy the peach wine, all the way to pick flowers and drink wine, began to cut a pound of peach blossoms, drank a pot of wine, and then the master cherished the wine, so cut a pound of peach blossoms, only drank half a pot of wine, and then cut a pound of peach blossoms, drank half a pot of wine, and so on......At the top of the mountain, the master ran out of wine in his bag, looked around, and asked all beings lightly: How many catties of peach blossoms have been cut and how many pots of wine have been drunk today?
When Ning Que saw this question, he came directly to the sentence: "Who came up with this question, it's too two." "I don't know that this question was given by the Master. Ning Que picked up the pen and wrote down the answer: "The master drank two pots of wine and cut off all the peach blossoms in the mountains. Then "hand in the paper in advance and go away, extremely chic."
So why did the Master cut down all the peach blossoms in the mountains? This starts with Ke Haoran, the master's younger brother.
Ke Haoran is actually also the master's apprentice, but he is proud of his temperament, and his cultivation is already extremely high, and he is unwilling to worship others as teachers. The master took pity on his talent and was willing to accept the apprentice on behalf of the teacher and let him be his own disciple. In this way, Ke Haoran reluctantly agreed.
Under the master's order, Ke Haoran cultivated to improve, and broke into the Demon Sect with a single sword, which was even more famous. At this time, Ke Haoran was invincible under the master. Later, at the instigation of Chen, Ke Haoran drew his sword and asked the sky, and finally died in Huangquan. The author believes that even if there is no instigation from Chen, with Ke Haoran's character, sooner or later he will challenge Haotian, just like the later sword saint Liu Bai.
Because of Ke Haoran's death, the master was angry at the Haotian Daomen, and Chen, who was beaten with a stick, ran to the South China Sea and did not dare to land, and the first lecture shrank in the Hanging Temple and did not dare to go out.
The master drank wine and came to Xiling, and saw the peach blossoms in full bloom all over the mountain, which was quite beautiful. So he drank and cut down the peach blossoms all over the mountain, and when the peach blossoms were gone, the master said, "This is a funeral for you." Then, he locked up all the masters who supported Chen in Xiling in the Hidden Pavilion, and he was never allowed to take a step out of the Hidden Pavilion, which could be regarded as a punishment for their design to frame the little uncle Ke Haoran.
