Chapter 25 Seven Dragons Playing Under the Water Cup
Long Hao, Bai Han, and Liu Yue watched Ye Xiaofan place the broken teacup bought for fifty yuan on the table. It was still a good teacup. The three of them looked a little embarrassed. They had lost face so much that they almost wanted to find a place to sew it up.
Get in.
The old Taoist priest looked at the teacups placed one after another on the table. The expression on his face changed from puzzlement at first to a little excited. When Ye Xiaofan put all seven cups on the table, the old Taoist priest again
I couldn't help but reached out and picked up a cup and looked at it carefully. I stared at the cup in my hand intently, for fear of missing a link. I watched the old Taoist for more than ten minutes.
There were various expressions of fear, joy, excitement, and excitement on the priest's face. He put down the cup and put on another cup to look at it. It was not until he had looked at all seven cups that the old Taoist priest was reluctant to part with it.
Putting down the cup, he laughed heartily and said: "Haha... Good stuff, really good stuff. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see the authentic Seven Dragons Playing Water Cup today."
"Seven Dragons Playing with Water Cup?" Hearing the excited voice of the old Taoist priest, Long Hao, Bai Han and Liu Yue said in surprise at the same time. Although they didn't know what the Seven Dragons Playing with Water Cup was, they were sure it was a good thing.
The old Taoist priest nodded and slowly explained: "There are seven Seven Dragon Playing Cups in total. According to legend, they were made by Xu Fu, the first mage under Emperor Qin during the Qin Dynasty. They were made by combining Tianshan cold iron and some precious wood.
This extraordinary refining technique has now been lost. Later, Xu Fu presented this set of cups to the King of Qin. The King of Qin loved it so much that he named Xu Fu the first mage of the Qin Dynasty."
The three of them took a deep breath. They did not doubt the words of the old Taoist priest at all. This set of cups was really a priceless antique. The value of the title King Qin alone was incomparable. The three of them looked at the confident Ye Xiaofan at the same time and thought to themselves.
This kid is so lucky, right? He bought something priceless for only fifty yuan.
"It is said that this set of cups also has a magical function." The old Taoist priest paused and then said.
"What magical function?" The three of them became interested at the same time and asked the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest trimmed his beard and said slowly: "It is said that as long as these seven cups are filled with tea, you can see the scene of seven dragons playing in the water, which is why these seven cups are named."
"Is it that mysterious?" Long Hao muttered, holding his cheek.
Ye Xiaofan smiled slightly, this old man was indeed an expert, and the information obtained by his magical pupil was almost exactly the same.
"Then fill up the tea quickly and see if the legend is true." Bai Han said to the old Taoist priest very curiously.
The old Taoist priest looked at Ye Xiaofan with questioning eyes. Ye Xiaofan was the owner of the cup, so of course he had to ask the owner before making it.
Ye Xiaofan nodded, now he also wanted to see whether the legendary scene actually existed.
Seeing that Ye Xiaofan agreed, the old Taoist priest arranged the seven cups in a circle, carefully lifted the teapot, and slowly poured tea into the cups. The first cup was filled without any abnormalities, the second, the third, and so on.
After seven fillings, there was still no scene of the seven dragons playing in the water. Everyone was a little disappointed, even Ye Xiaofan felt a heavy sense of loss in his heart.
Are you sure this is just a fake? Everyone secretly guessed. Only the old Taoist priest looked at the cups expectantly. After a minute, a mist slowly rose from the seven cups at the same time. The mist floated to the top of the cups and suddenly began to rotate.
Get up soon
It formed the shape of a legendary dragon, with eyes, claws, and dragon horns, but there was only one, not seven. The mist dragon was waving over the cup, and its claws were picking up the tea in the cup from time to time, causing the cup to stir.
The tea in the cup ripples.
"What a dragon playing in the water, so wonderful, so wonderful." The old Taoist priest smiled excitedly.
Long Hao, Bai Han, and Liu Yue looked at the dancing fog dragon with their eyes wide open, with excitement on their faces. They would never believe this incredible scene if they hadn't seen it in real life. Even if they really saw it now, they still have it in their minds.
A trace of disbelief.
Ye Xiaofan's depressed mood was swept away, and he looked at Wulong playing in the water with a faint smile on his lips.
After about ten minutes, the mist dragon began to slowly disappear and returned to the normal state of tea. Because there was no more mist rising in the teacup, the mist dragon naturally disappeared. The old Taoist priest took a cup of tea and tasted it.
After a long time, he said: "Good tea, very good tea. This is the best tea I have ever had in my entire life."
Seeing the old Taoist priest enjoying himself, Long Hao and the others hurriedly picked up the tea and tasted it. They all said it was good tea. Ye Xiaofan also took a cup and tasted it. The tea was actually still tea, and the taste had not changed. The only thing
What changes is just the mood. If the mood is different, the taste of the drink will naturally be different.
The pot of tea was quickly drank by the five people, and one could see on everyone's faces that they were still unsatisfied.
"Ye Xiaoyou, can you tell me where you got this Seven Dragons Cup?" After finishing the tea, the old man sat on the wooden chair and asked Ye Xiaofan.
Before Ye Xiaofan could answer, Bai Han on the side had already replied speechlessly: "This guy is just unlucky today. I just bought this set of cups for fifty yuan from the stall in front of my door."
The old Taoist priest almost couldn't sit still and fell to the ground. He bought the Seven Dragons Playing Cup for fifty yuan. How is this possible? At the same time, he regretted it. If he had gone out earlier, he might have caught it. Unfortunately, now
There was no use regretting, the cups were already his. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Young friend Ye, I have a gracious request. Can you resell this set of cups to me?"
Ye Xiaofan frowned and regretted taking out the Seven-Dragon Water Cup. He originally wanted to make a fortune from this set of Seven-Dragon Water Cup, but now the old man in front of him didn't look like a rich man, so he probably couldn't get it either.
After paying so much money, I didn’t know how to answer for a while.
The old Taoist priest seemed to understand what Ye Xiaofan was thinking, and said quickly: "Ye Xiaoyou, the old Taoist really likes this set of cups. The old Taoist is willing to pay 100 million to buy this set of cups. I wonder what Ye Xiaoyou thinks?"
One hundred million? Ye Xiaofan took a breath. Although this set of cups is precious, the value of one hundred million is still a bit exaggerated. And can this old Taoist priest come up with so much money? In fact, Ye Xiaofan didn't know that this old Taoist was very rich. As an ancient Taoist
It is easy for a warrior to make money. A mere billion-year-old Taoist is completely ignored. Even coming to the teahouse to help is just a matter of interest.
"Senior, if you like it, you can take it. Anyway, it would be a waste for me to keep it here. I might as well transfer it to you so that it can shine as it should." Ye Xiaofan said carefully, feeling uncertain in his heart, what if the old Taoist priest opened it?
If you give a bad check, you will suffer a big loss.
When the old Taoist priest heard Ye Xiaofan's words, he was overjoyed. He quickly took out a checkbook from his arms, made a few strokes on it, then pulled off one and handed it to Ye Xiaofan and said: "Ye Xiaoyou, this is a check for 100 million.
You put it away."
Ye Xiaofan took it, and it turned out to be a real check of 100 million. He was so excited. At the same time, he also guessed who the old Taoist priest was and why he was so rich. He also secretly exposed some of the Shennong Cauldron while everyone was not paying attention, and soon the cup was
The cyan gas was completely absorbed by the Shennong Cauldron, but it did not affect the appearance at all.
Long Hao and Liu Yue also secretly guessed the identity of the old Taoist priest. Only Bai Han showed no expression at all. He seemed to know that the old Taoist priest was very rich, but he felt a little regretful in his heart. He also liked this set of cups. Maybe he would be happy if he could get it back for his grandfather.
, but now the old Taoist priest has taken the lead.
The old Taoist priest paid the money, carefully put the seven cups into the wooden box, and gifted the rosewood cups to Ye Xiaofan and others in a smart manner, then said he had important matters to say and left.
Not long after the old Taoist priest left, Ye Xiaofan and others also left. When leaving, Ye Xiaofan naturally took away the rosewood cup. After all, it was worth tens of thousands of dollars, so there was no problem.
After leaving the teahouse, Ye Xiaofan went to a nearby bank to transfer the check in his hand to his card, which made it easier to buy things. Then everyone continued to hunt for treasures on the antique street. Bai Han also became more confident and bought a lot of antiques in one go.
He also wanted to get lucky, but Ye Xiaofan glanced at the things he bought and smiled bitterly. They were all fakes and worthless.
After browsing almost most of the street stalls, Ye Xiaofan found nothing of value, and then several people walked into a relatively large shop.
"Xiaofan, come here and take a look, this string of beads is so beautiful." Ye Xiaofan was scanning around the counter, and Liu Yue next to him shouted with joy.
Ye Xiaofan walked over, leaned down and naturally scanned the hand beads pointed by Liu Yue on the counter with his clairvoyant eyes. He quickly found out the origin. This string of beads came from the late Qing Dynasty and belonged to a palace maid. It was not that long ago.
, it is not worn by a celebrity, but the material of this string of beads is good, glass, sea green jade carving
Engraved, this kind of jade is very rare, and it is somewhat similar to glass emerald. If you don’t study it carefully, you will not find that it is sea green. Of course, the value of sea green is much higher than that of emerald, mainly because sea green is also found all over the world.
Not much, more importantly, sea green jadeite contains a lot of beneficial substances to the human body.
"Boss, how can I sell this string of bracelets?" Ye Xiaofan asked. He planned to buy this string of bracelets and give it to Xiaoyue.
The boss smiled and said: "This little girl really knows the goods. This is carved from glass emerald. It is not only beautiful when you wear it, but also shows the nobility of the owner. I won't play tricks on you. The price is five.
One hundred thousand."
Liu Yue frowned when he heard the price and whispered to Ye Xiaofan: "No, it's too expensive."
Ye Xiaofan smiled softly at Liu Yue. This string of bracelets was of rare blue sea green. It was not expensive to buy it for not only 500,000 but 500,000.
"Boss, help me wrap it up. I want this string of bracelets." Ye Xiaofan said to the boss with a smile. After speaking, he took out the bank card that had just transferred 100 million from his pocket and prepared to swipe it.
