Ye Cang stretched out his hand and gently wiped it on the purple incense burner, and said: "These five flavors of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty do not refer to the ordinary five flavorings, but the five symbolic objects. ”

He seemed to have expected that Zhang Xiaoman still didn't understand the meaning, so he took the initiative to explain: "Take the first of the five flavors, 'salty', it represents not ordinary salt, but iron powder. ”

"Oh? Iron powder? ”

"That's right, 'salty' is the word '戌' plus a mouthful, the original meaning is that all mouths shout together, in order to help the meaning of power, and some people think that the mouth is a symbol of the human head, so in ancient times, it was actually used to kill."

It was the first time Zhang Xiaoman had heard this kind of statement, and he was even interested.

Ye Cang continued: "The most representative way of killing is the iron knife soldier, which is one of the five flavors of the world that the old man said before, which is the iron powder. ”

"I see." Zhang Xiaoman nodded to show that he understood, it seems that these five flavors are really different from what he understood before.

"Then I wonder what the remaining four flavors refer to?"

Ye Cang gently rubbed the purple incense burner and explained: "The remaining four flavors, 'sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy', respectively represent, 'bad water', 'ginseng', 'tears' and 'flame'. ”

Zhang Xiaoman was very surprised when he heard this explanation, although he didn't know the reason for the latter ones, but he knew them anyway, but the first one made him a little confused.

"Actually, it's not that complicated, this so-called bad water is actually just sulfuric acid." Ye Cang gave the answer for the first time, "It's just that in ancient times, people were ignorant and often couldn't distinguish sulfuric acid from royal acid, and bad water and aqua regia were often regarded as the same substance, so in fact, the bad water here refers to aqua regia." ”

"In ancient times, 'acid' was usually associated with 'rot' and 'bad', so the acid in these five flavors was the bad water, that is, the aqua regia...... But in fact, after later research, it was found that the effect of using certain super acids instead of aqua regia is actually the same. ”

"The next 'sweet' refers to ginseng, and it must be more than 30 years old. Although ginseng has a bitter taste, it is undoubtedly not a rich family that can be eaten in ancient times, so in the eyes of ordinary people, it represents a rich life, and the life of this rich and noble family is naturally sweet. ”

As for the tears symbolized by "bitterness", this should be very simple, presumably Xiaoyou should not need me to explain more. But then I found out that its practical blood can also replace it. ”

"In the end, it's 'spicy', and 'spicy' is fire, that is, high temperature. It represents an unbearable pain and a symbol of intenseness. When the dragon sleeping stone is mixed and soaked in the above four materials for 7749 days, and then burned with fire, it can be volatilized smoothly, thus producing an environment that is enough to be fake. ”

"It's just that the specific reason has not been thoroughly studied at present, just take the ginseng, it must be more than 30 years old, if the year is insufficient, it will eventually volatilize, and the reason for this has not been understood until now."

Ye Cang told all the truth of the matter in one breath, Zhang Xiaoman finally understood the key this time, and he didn't expect that behind this short sentence of 'when you meet the five flavors of the world, you will fall into the ordinary', there are still so many secrets hidden.

Ye Cang put down the purple incense burner in his hand, looked at the mysterious person in front of him, and continued: "Your Excellency, I have fulfilled the agreement last time, I see that you seem to be very interested in this dragon sleeping stone, I don't know if you are willing to make another exchange with Ye?" ”

"Oh? What exchange? ”

Ye Cang put his hand into his arms, slowly took out a fist-sized package from it, carefully placed it on the stage, and said to Zhang Xiaoman: "I know that Your Excellency is a real master outside the world, I don't dare to expect Your Excellency to be able to pass on my cultivation system, I just hope that you can tell me what the cultivation world is like, so that my lifelong thoughts can be a little satisfied......

As he spoke, he looked expectant, mixed with endless longing, like a man who has fallen into the water trying to grasp the last straw.

"It's a dragon's sleep stone, if you promise, I'll give it to you in exchange......"

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the things in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little moved, after all, he didn't have anything to lose, as long as he opened his mouth, he could get it.

"But I don't seem to have anything to say, where is there any cultivation world in this world? Do you want me to tell him about the Covenant? ”

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the other party's expression, and his heart fell into a tangle. Of course, if you want to talk about deception, it must be very easy, but for such an old man who is begging for the Tao and finally pinning all his hopes on himself, he really can't bear to deceive.

Zhang Xiaoman was still thinking about it, and Old Man Ye had already pushed the stone to the middle of the table. Seeing that the former had not responded for a long time, he was also very anxious, so he simply slowly dismantled the layer of cloth wrapped around the Longmian Stone, revealing its true face of Lushan.

Zhang Xiaoman was still hesitant to agree to the deal, but when he saw the stone for the first time, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and the whole person leaned forward.

"Olihast Rock!?" He was so shocked that he almost blurted out the name in his heart.

Although Ye Cang couldn't see Zhang Xiaoman's expression, it could be seen from the other party's body movements and reactions that he should know this stone, and he couldn't help but show surprise, could it be that the other party had actually seen this stone somewhere else?

I have to say that he really didn't guess wrong, this stone is exactly what Zhang Xiaoman has been thinking about day and night in the recent past - Olihast rock.

"No, it won't......"

Zhang Xiaoman felt that the surprise came too suddenly, and he couldn't believe it. He quickly opened the system panel, clicked on the gang options, and entered the gang shop page, bringing up the stone that cost 20 stardust.

"Color, texture, shape...... Almost identical! This, how can it be ......"

Zhang Xiaoman kept comparing the appearance between the two, and the stone in front of him was too similar to the Olihast rock he had been waiting for.

It's just that the only thing that makes Zhang Xiaoman uncertain now is that as his gaze was fixed on the stone for a long time, the familiar system panel did not appear.

"No, that's not right! I should have fallen into a misunderstanding! It doesn't take supernatural items to appear on the attribute panel......" His gaze fell on the stone in front of him, but his mind remembered the note that he had drawn in the lottery that recorded the spirit exploration technique.

"It's not that transcendent items can see attributes, but only items obtained through the system will have panels!"
