Chapter 518: The Sixth Taste
Xiao Qingwu was angry by Yun Lack of Anger, and when she saw her younger brother going out to steal food, she immediately pinched her ears and said:
"And the face to eat and drink! Who stole the heirloom, this account can't be counted!"
Xiao Mayuan said goodbye while looking at Hu Jiao.
Hu Jiao was trembling when he heard this, and hurriedly laughed:
"Isn't the thing back, it's better to settle the dispute, it's better to forget it."
Xiao Qingwu glared at Hu Jiao, and didn't say anything more, she thought that Hu Jiao was Yun Que's guard or something, and she gave Yun Que a face.
Xiao Ma Yuan finally broke free from her sister's clutches, rubbed her ears and hid next to Yun Que, and asked:
"Brother Yun, you and my sister have been in the house for so long, what are you doing?"
"Talk about the big plan to revitalize the Xiao family, but unfortunately your sister doesn't seem to be very willing." Yun Que said with a smile.
Xiao Qingwu snorted angrily.
Xiao Ma Yuan didn't know why, and thought that Yun Que really gave advice to the Xiao family, and in gratitude, he had to give Yun Que the candy he had held in his hand for a long time.
"You eat, remember to learn to restrain your temper in the future, practice the way, and keep a low profile." Cloud lacks a way.
"I know Brother Yun!"
Xiao Mayuan nodded seriously while throwing the candy in his hand into his mouth and chewing it.
Xiao Qingwu was a little surprised beside him, his younger brother was so obedient in front of Yun Que, which was rare.
Xiao Wensheng is so big, just listen to her sister, and others can't control it.
Yun Que was going to go back to the inn, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly moved his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Ma Yuan.
Xiao Mayuan still looks like a stubborn child, there is no difference, but there is a strange aura faintly coming out of his mouth.
That candy, there is actually an aura!
Yun Que's perception is far beyond that of others, and the aura on the candy is extremely weak and special, as if it has been sacrificed, it is difficult for outsiders to detect.
Even Xiao Qingwu and Hu Jiao, who were standing next to them, didn't notice it.
"Little Mayuan, where did your candy come from?" Yun Que asked with a smile.
"Someone on the street sent it, it's an old man." Xiao Mayuan said truthfully.
"Spit it out." Cloud lacks a way.
Xiao Mayuan obediently spit out the candy into his hand, and said embarrassedly, "Brother Yun, if you want to eat it, I'll take it and wash it."
Of course, Yun Que didn't do it to eat, he gathered all the power of spiritual consciousness at this moment, and carefully sensed the candy in Xiao Mayuan's hand.
Then he frowned slightly.
In the candy, it really carries a pure aura, which is no less than a low-grade elixir!
Who is so generous that he actually gives elixir to children on the street?
Yun Que's actions were unknown to Xiao Qingwu and Hu Jiao, so the two of them also used their spiritual senses to perceive, but unfortunately they didn't find anything special about the candy.
"Take me and see, I want a piece of candy too." Yun Que stepped out of the yard first.
Xiao Mayuan led the way in front with great interest.
After walking a short distance, I saw a few children under the big tree surrounding an old man, laughing happily.
"It's that old man, who can only ask for a piece of candy for one person." Xiao Mayuan pointed.
Yun Que looked at it from afar.
Sitting under the tree was an old man with gray hair and beard, wearing a coarse cloth coat, sitting on a small bench, looking exactly like the old man in Cold Winter Town.
The only difference may be the appearance of this old man.
It's just ugly.
Cross-eyed, rosacea, pointed head, a sky-covered chin, plus one-line eyebrows, look ugly and ugly.
Fortunately, it is an old man, beauty and ugliness are harmless, if it is replaced by a young man, Yun Que estimates that if he looks in the mirror, he will not be able to jump into the river.
After seeing the old man's appearance, Yun Que was stunned.
One person, one tree, one bench.
The old man seems to be simple, but it gives people an illusion of transcendence, as if the old man does not belong to the snowy region, does not belong to the cold winter town, and does not belong to the world.
Seems
It's like a world of its own!
That strange feeling was fleeting, and Yun Que had to suspect that it was his own delusion.
Wrong......
Yun Que glanced at the old man under the tree again, and felt that the other party was by no means as simple as it seemed.
A few children under the tree got candy and jumped away.
Yun Que walked over slowly.
"Old man, do you still have sugar?" Yun Que asked.
"Yes, one for each child."
The ugly old man smiled and gave Yun Que Hu Jiao and Xiao Qingwu a candy.
Hu Jiao took the candy and said embarrassedly, "I'm also a child?"
At his age, it's almost enough to be a grandfather for his children.
"In front of me, you are all children, hehe, taste it, sugar has five flavors, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, see what kind of taste you can taste." The old man smiled.
"It must be sweet!" Xiao Mayuan sucked the candy in his mouth and said, "It's sweet!"
Yun Que peeled off the icing and threw it directly into his mouth.
Xiao Qingwu didn't care and ate it too.
Hu Jiao hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Yun Que had eaten it, he also ate the sugar.
After eating, the expressions of the three of them became different.
Hu Jiao narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists, his facial features were about to move, and he looked unbearable.
Xiao Qingwu locked her eyebrows, and her face was not very good-looking.
Yun Que was calm as usual, without any expression at all, and always tasted the taste carefully.
The ugly old man laughed, "Have you tasted it, what a taste?"
"Spicy! It's so spicy!" Hu Jiao roared in pain, his mouth was almost spewing fire, and he was sweating profusely.
"Sour, really sour!" Xiao lightly danced bitterly.
Xiao Mayuan said strangely, "How can it be spicy and sour? My sugar is so sweet!"
The ugly old man looked at Xiao Ma Yuan and explained with a smile:
"The five flavors of life, what is the taste of the human heart, what you taste is what taste, sour is tired, spicy is tossing and turning, salty is troubled by villains, and sweet, for ordinary, where the heart is not clear, can you taste sweetness."
Hu Jiao didn't believe it at all, and said angrily:
"You old man is bad enough to make candy out of spicy peppers! Sugar is sweet, how can it taste so much!"
Although Xiao Qingwu didn't say anything, he also felt that this old man deliberately made candy with different flavors, otherwise how could there be five different flavors of the same candy.
But Xiao Qingwu still agrees with the statement that acid is labor, after all, she has indeed worked non-stop all these years and has never rested.
The ugly old man didn't care about Hu Jiao's questioning, looked at Yun Que, and said with a smile:
"Child, what does your sugar taste like?"
Yun Que chewed it a few more times very carefully, and said, "There is no taste."
The ugly old man's expression froze.
"My sugar only has five flavors, and there is no such thing as no taste." The ugly old man said confidently.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Yun Que spit out the candy in his mouth into his hand, and said, "I don't believe you taste it, it's really tasteless, wash and eat, it's the same."
The ugly old man glanced at Yun Que thoughtfully, blinked his cross-eyed, and then smiled with relief and said:
"The sixth taste, sure enough, there are no absolutes in the world, and the five-flavor candy actually has a sixth taste!"
"What does no taste mean, does it mean that wealth is prosperous?" Yun Que chewed the candy again and said with interest.
The ugly old man in front of him was strange.
There is no trace of aura in his body, and he is exactly the same as a mortal, no matter how he perceives it, he can't detect any cultivation he has.
Yun Que knows that the more this kind of person, the more important it is to be underestimated. Look at the book
It is possible that people have reached the point where they can turn simplicity into complexity and return to basics!
In Yun Que's heart, the old man only has two identities.
A mortal old man, or the strongest in the cultivation world!
No matter what kind of mortal or strong the other party is, when it comes to dealing with it, Yun Que will not suffer.
The ugly old man shook his head and said:
"I don't know for the time being, maybe it represents fortune, maybe it represents death, wait for me to find out the truth and then tell you, thank you Xiaoyou for eating sugar, your sixth taste may be able to solve a problem that has trapped old decay for many years."
