Chapter 24 Seven Dragons Playing Water Cup

Kunming Antique Street is an ancient street with a long history. It is said that this street existed in the Yuan Dynasty, and it still maintains ancient buildings. For tourists traveling in Kunming, besides the antique shops lined up on both sides of the street, a unique street stall culture has also formed in the periphery.A few newspapers and a piece of old cloth are spread on the ground, and some old objects can be placed on it to start a business.

Today's weather is gloomy, neither cold nor hot, people come and go everywhere, the four of them take a slow step to appreciate everything around, except for Bai Han who is not very interested, the three of them are very interested Gao Gao, especially Liu Yue, was eager to buy every one of those trinkets and antiques.

Ye Xiaofan was using his divine pupils to scan the objects placed on the stalls around him, but he was a little disappointed. After walking hundreds of meters and searching dozens of houses, he didn't see a single object with aura. When it was over, his eyes suddenly stopped on a little old man's stall.

In front of the little old man, there are many ancient objects. Ye Xiaofan saw that almost all of these objects were covered with a layer of plaster to make them look old. In fact, they are all just modern fakes, not worth much money, but there is one One object attracted Ye Xiaofan, this is a set of cups, seven in total, it looks the same as ordinary ceramic cups, there is a lively dragon carved on it, and there is a faint cyan gas attached to each cup.

Ye Xiaofan picked up one of the cups and looked at them with his see-through eyes. After a while, Ye Xiaofan withdrew his see-through eyes and was very excited. This is a set of seven dragons playing water cups refined by Xu Fu, the master of the Qin Dynasty during the Qin Dynasty, and later presented to him. It is said that when the seven cups are filled with tea at the same time, you can see the scene of seven dragons playing in the water. Of course, this is just a legend, and there is no way to verify it, but Ye Xiaofan knows it is true, because just now he saw this inconceivable through perspective. scene.

This set of cups has a long history, and more importantly, the value of the cups used by the King of Qin is far from inestimable. This is a veritable antique, a good thing, and I don't know where this little old man got it.

"Hey, young man, do you want to buy it or not? If you don't buy it, don't stop me from doing business." Seeing Ye Xiaofan holding the cup in a daze, the little old man couldn't help but said, he could see that this young man liked this set of cups very much, but In his eyes, this set of cups is the most worthless thing in the booth. This set of cups was sold to him by a tattered 50 yuan. Buy it and put it here to see if you can meet a silly hat and sell it, even if you can't make a profit, you can keep your capital.

Ye Xiaofan came to his senses, took the cup and said to the little old man: "Buy, of course, I wonder how much this set of cups cost?"

The little old man glanced at Ye Xiaofan, he didn't look like a rich man, he raised five fingers lightly and said: "Five hundred, take it if you like it."

"Five hundred?" Ye Xiaofan almost fainted from excitement, isn't this too cheap?

But the little old man misunderstood Ye Xiaofan, thinking that the price was too high to scare him. He didn't want to lose customers who liked this set of cups. After selling it, he said again: "Young man, I can see that you like this set of cups, so the old man won't make you any money. You can take 100 yuan, and it can't be lower."

After the words fell, Ye Xiaofan had the urge to vomit blood, and his grandma's price dropped to one hundred. One hundred yuan to buy a set of Seven Dragons Playing Water Cups, Ye Xiaofan was so happy, just when he was about to pay for it, other stalls waited and watched Long Hao and the others walked over, saw the cup in Ye Xiaofan's hand, Long Hao bent down and looked at it and said, "This cup is very ordinary, it's worth 100 yuan at most."

Bai Han glanced at it and agreed, "I don't think 20 yuan is worth it."

Ye Xiaofan was speechless when the two talked about it, but the little old man looked a little ugly, looked at the hesitant Ye Xiaofan, sighed and said: "Little brother, I will sell you half of this cup at a loss, 50 yuan, the head office." Bar?"

Ye Xiaofan quickly took out 50 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the little old man. The little old man happily took the money, heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully filled seven cups for Ye Xiaofan.

The Seven Dragons Water Cup was easily bought for 50 yuan, Ye Xiaofan was so happy, and wondered if the old man knew that this cup was worth tens of millions, would he be pissed to death on the spot.

"Xiaofan, I don't know why you bought those seven broken cups. Don't you think it's troublesome to hold them?" Long Hao said, taking out a cigarette and handing one to Bai Han, and another to Ye Xiaofan.

Ye Xiaofan smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Long, if I told you that this set of cups is worth at least ten million, would you believe me?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway." Long Hao said straightforwardly, he didn't believe that a broken cup bought for 50 yuan could be worth tens of millions.

Bai Han also shook his head.

Ye Xiaofan smiled and said nothing, he was going to let these two guys see what a miracle is, and at the same time confirm what he saw with his god pupil, since he had the god pupil Ye Xiaofan has blindly trusted him, he has never confirmed it, and he has no way to confirm it. It is confirmed that I accidentally got the Seven Dragons Playing Water Cup today, so it is inevitable that I have some ideas.

"Brother Bai, is there a teahouse nearby? It's not too late for everyone to rest for a while." Ye Xiaofan said to Bai Han.

Bai Han pointed to a wooden building in front of him and said: "There is a teahouse there. Recently, an old Taoist with profound tea art came here, who is deeply loved by those tea lovers. Unfortunately, I have never liked drinking tea, and I can't taste it. What's the taste, but I often come with the old man."

While introducing, Bai Han led everyone towards the teahouse. As soon as the four of them stepped in, a young man quickly came up to meet him. When he saw Bai Han, his face was filled with joy, and he said excitedly, "Young Master Bai, you It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon is finally here for you today.”

The young man was invited by this teahouse veteran to help with odd jobs. Of course, he knew Bai Han who often came with Mr. Bai. When he saw Bai Han, he greeted him with a natural smile. , Almost every time I get a lot of tips.

Bai Han patted the young man's shoulder and said, "Arrange a private room for me, and then ask the old Taoist to come over and make two pots of good tea for my good friends." After speaking, Bai Han took out a few red ticket stuffs from his pocket into the hands of young men.

The young man took the red ticket and glanced at it. There were at least five or six tickets. With a smile on his face, he immediately led the four of them to the box upstairs, for fear of neglecting the benefactors.

The four of them were arranged in Box No. [-]. The box was very spacious and bright, and the inside was decorated with wooden materials. You could smell a strong sandalwood fragrance when you entered the door, which made you feel relaxed and happy.

Not long after Ye Xiaofan and the others sat down, an old Taoist priest wearing a white Taoist robe, six feet tall, with a childlike face and white hair came into the box. The old Taoist priest was still carrying a wooden box in his hand.

The moment the old Taoist priest entered the door, Ye Xiaofan felt an aura, the aura of an ancient warrior, and his eyes swept over him unconsciously. The inner alchemy has turned red, which means that this old Taoist has entered the late stage of the realm.

The old man didn't know that Ye Xiaofan had seen through his strength, but he also saw through that Ye Xiaofan was an ancient warrior in the middle stage of the profound realm, with a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all.

"Boy Bai, we met again. Why didn't old man Bai come over today?" The old man said while opening the wooden box.

Bai Han was a little embarrassed, the old Taoist and grandpa in front of him could be regarded as good friends, and only the old Taoist in front of him dared to call grandpa like that, smiled and politely replied: "Grandpa, I've been feeling unwell for the past two days, and I'm recuperating at home. I brought a few good friends over to taste the tea you made."

The old Taoist said "Oh", and took out the utensils from the box one by one, except for the small stove for warming tea, a set of rosewood teacups, and some various famous teas.

After everything was ready, the old Taoist asked: "I don't know what kind of tea do you guys like to drink? Dahongpao? Tieguanyin? Or?" While speaking, his eyes were fixed on Ye Xiaofan instead of Bai Han. The boy doesn't know how to taste tea at all.

Seeing the old Taoist priest staring at him and asking questions, Ye Xiaofan glanced at the tea leaves prepared by the old Taoist priest, smiled and said, "Please, senior, make us a pot of Tieguanyin."

The elder Taoist was very pleased with the sound of seniority, nodded, and started to move his hands. Within 10 minutes, a strong fragrance of tea came out from the tea set on the small stove, and even Bai Han, who didn't like tea, Can't help but take a breath.

After a few more minutes, the old Taoist took the teapot off the small stove, poured a cup for everyone, waved for everyone to have a taste, and looked at them expectantly, Long Hao and Liu Yue picked up the teacups and He drank it in one gulp like drinking water, and still called out the good tea, but they didn't even taste the taste, the old Taoist swept over the two of them and shook his head helplessly, then turned his gaze to Ye Xiaofan.

Ye Xiaofan slowly picked up the teacup, first brought it to his nose and smelled the fragrance of the tea, then slowly took a small sip, then closed his eyes, feeling what kind of different feeling, soon Ye Xiaofan's face revealed A faint smile, he knows that tea is for tasting, not for drinking, it is better to have a bottle of mineral water if you want to quench your thirst, drinking tea is a kind of artistic conception, as long as you are in a good mood, you can drink It's a different feeling, Ye Xiaofan is in a good mood right now, besides tasting good tea, what's more, he is getting the Seven Dragons Playing Water Cup.

Seeing Ye Xiaofan's expression, the old Taoist had a faint smile on his face, and asked, "Little friend, how about this tea?"

Ye Xiaofan slowly opened his eyes, and said softly: "Tea is good tea, if it can be paired with a good teacup, it will be even more perfect."

The old Taoist nodded. Although rosewood teacups are quite expensive, they are also very common. He sighed and said, "Good teacups are hard to find. I have searched for many years and still haven't found a teacup that satisfies me."

Ye Xiaofan smiled slightly and said: "I have a set of good teacups." After speaking, Ye Xiaofan slowly took out the broken teacups one after another from the bag.
