Requiem Chapter 31: Taibai Drunk (2)
"I wonder if you two recognize this cup?" Zhang Yunfei placed the wine glass in his hand gently on the table with an arrogant look on his face, and then stared at the two of them.
Luo Zhe picked it up from the table, played with it in his palm for a while, and finally said in confusion: "Mr. Zhang, as far as I know, Italian crystal wine glasses are the most stylish glasses in the world. They are bright and transparent, with attractive colors, and can better convey the mellow aroma of the wine without escaping. But the various characteristics of this glass in front of me are exactly the opposite of the properties of a crystal glass. This... This kind of thing, I really don't understand it!"
Who is he, Luo Zhe? He is the president of Vanke Group, the only legal heir to his father's business, and a business tycoon famous in the capital. If he just said he didn't know at this moment, it would be too embarrassing. So after searching his brain for a long time, Luo Zhe finally came up with some irrelevant analysis.
When Yin Hun saw the cup for the first time, he was so excited that he couldn't help showing it on his face.
But he took the cup with trembling hands, looked at it carefully, and then put it down at a 45-degree angle in a strange posture, and poured some red wine into it. His speed was so slow and his movements were so skillful, just like flowing clouds and water, and it seemed to be done in one go. Zhang Yunfei was shocked and nodded repeatedly.
The shape of the cup is somewhat similar to the wine jars of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, with animal-shaped rings on both sides, and the three legs are evenly spaced, not a millimeter off, firmly supporting the entire cup. The outer wall of the wine cup is relatively smooth, like virgin skin. But the inside is extremely rough, as if it is made of grains of mother-of-pearl, which seems to be intentional. Looking at the color of the cross section, I'm afraid it can't be imitated by modern technology.
The most bizarre thing is that there is a vortex-shaped Tai Chi pattern carved on the bottom of the cup. As long as wine is poured into it, the half black Yin-Yang fish will spontaneously rotate around the axis, which makes people applaud and admire the ingenuity of the creator's craftsmanship. But if you pay a little attention, you will find that as long as the cup touches something warm, such as a person's palm, it will emit a spooky ghost aura. This ghost aura cannot be described in words, just as if there is a pair of inexplicable eyes behind you, looking at you, following you, and staring at you!
It was precisely because of this that Yin Hun felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Zhang, I want to ask you something." Yin Hun's signature smile slowly disappeared, his cheek muscles tightened, and a serious face replaced it.
"If I'm not mistaken, this cup should be quite old, right?" His words were neither light nor heavy, but hard to resist.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Yin is not only good at drinking, but also has profound attainments in antique collection. I, Zhang, admire him very much! To be honest, this wine glass was indeed handed down from my ancestors. It has been passed down to me for four generations." Zhang Yunfei had a proud look on his face. He felt proud when someone recognized his treasure. He extended his hands to Yin Hui in approval. Tang Yan's classmates were jealous.
"Then your ancestors must have used some improper tricks to obtain this cup." Yin Hun not only ignored Zhang Yunfei's compliment, but his tone became more serious. Now it didn't seem like a conversation, but more like an interrogation.
"You..." Luo Zhe began to defend himself. Of course, he was not really doing this out of injustice, but he was trying to take advantage of Yin Hui's words and add insult to injury: "How dare you insult Mr. Zhang's ancestors?"
But unfortunately, Luo Zhe's kindness did not receive the due reward. Zhang Yunfei stopped him politely, and looked at Yin Hun with interest and said: "Oh! Hearing you say that, I am interested. How did you know?"
Although his tone was calm, it was a typical smile with a knife hidden in the heart. A proud naturally could not tolerate any insults from others, even the slightest.
Yin Hui didn't bother to be polite with him. He just looked at the cup again and said, "The person who gave you this cup must have a grudge against your ancestors, a deep blood feud."
"I think some people don't know what kind of cup this is, so they're trying to change the subject!" Luo Zhe said with contempt.
Tang Yan was now beginning to worry about Yin Hun. Only he knew that this boy had never touched drinking utensils, so how could he know about such antiques? For a moment, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead again .
"Huh! You don't recognize it? If I'm not mistaken, this wine glass is the Taoist's rare treasure 'Taibaizui'. As for its origin! I have a story here, I wonder if Mr. Zhang is interested in listening?" Yin Hun's eyes collided with Zhang Yunfei's.
"I'd like to hear the details!" Zhang Yunfei was stunned for a moment, then respectfully spread his hands to Yin Hun, as if to invite him.
"In the Taoist school of thought in China, there is such a mysterious legend: During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, one day, all the living Taoist masters suddenly received a Taoist invitation from a Taoist named Li Qitong, saying that he would meet at the Dragon and Tiger Hall of Sanqing Mountain in Jiangxi Province to discuss Taoism on the full moon in August of that year, and he claimed that he was the best Taoist in the world. Although the Taoist masters at that time did not know who Li Qitong was, after receiving the invitation, they all felt that this person was extremely arrogant. So in the middle of autumn of that year, all the people who received the invitation rushed to Sanqing Mountain, wanting to teach this unknown madman a lesson in the discussion. As a result, on the night of the full moon that night, Li Qitong actually came from the moon and gave all the Taoists present a warning. In the discussion that night, Li Qitong's debate left all the Taoist masters speechless. Then, with a wild laugh, he casually summoned a white cloud and rode away on the cloud, leaving all the Taoist masters dumbfounded."
At this point, Yin Hui sighed and continued, "Just as Li Qitong was leaving on a cloud, he suddenly left a message: 'I thought there were still people in the world who understood Taoism and could argue with me. Now I see that you are no match for me. I have left a cup for you as a gift. You sons must remember to practice and understand Taoism with all your heart. If someone attains Taoism and becomes an immortal one day, I will burn incense to welcome him.' The celebrities present looked at the table and saw that a strange cup had appeared on the table. Unfortunately, it has disappeared to this day. It is rare for people to see it, but it is said that this 'Taibai There is a mysterious power hidden in 'Taibai Zui'. If used properly, it can even change one's fate. Of course, even in the hands of ordinary people, it is a top-notch product. If you really measure it by price, it is much more precious than this red wine. Because no matter what kind of wine it is, even if it is crudely made dregs, it can retain all its aroma, turn it around, and ferment it again. Let me ask you, can such a treasure be compared to an Italian crystal glass? "Yin Hui explained the benefits of this 'Taibai Zui' in one breath, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
At this moment, Zhang Yunfei's blood was boiling, his face flushed with excitement, and he raised his thumbs repeatedly: "Great! I don't know how many people have seen my cup, but no one has ever recognized its value, and I used to simply think it was just a simple drinking utensil, but I didn't expect that there are so many tricks in it, and there is such a wonderful legend. It really broadened my horizons! It's great! It's great!" At this point, Zhang Yunfei slapped his thigh, and his impression of Yin Hun was completely changed. If he hadn't been in such an occasion, I'm afraid that with his character, he would have dragged this little brother to burn yellow paper to swear brotherhood. Luo Zhe on the side clenched his five fingers into a fist, gritting his teeth in anger. Originally, at this banquet today, he should be the focus of everyone's attention, and he should also be the one who got the beauty, but now... and now!
"But..." Just when the atmosphere was quite harmonious, Yin Hun suddenly changed the subject, which made Mr. Zhang roll his eyes. "Mr. Zhang, to be honest, this cup is not from a legitimate source!" It can be seen that Yin Hun's tone was mixed with a hint of contempt, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning, as if he wanted to see through the fat man in front of him.
As a descendant of Mount Mao, he was no stranger to the "Taibaizui". He knew how precious the "Taibaizui" was. Logically, even if it was placed in a famous mountain temple, it would not be easily shown to others, because it was not only a magical instrument, but also a kind of inheritance and a belief. If someone who did not belong to Taoism had this cup, there was only one possibility, that is, it was stolen from someone else.
"Bullshit..." Luo Zhe had tried to find something to hold against Yin Hui time and again, and this time was no exception. After saying that, he waved his cup at Zhang Yunfei and said, "Brother, you don't need to bother me anymore. Security guard, get rid of them!"
"Haha! Since we don't agree, I have nothing to say. Mr. Luo, you don't have to chase us. We can walk on our own!" Yin Hun smiled with dignity, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Tang Yan's wrist. Just as he took a step, Yin Hun was slightly stunned. He clearly felt that his palm was slippery, obviously sweat. It seems that Tang Yan, this little girl, was really scared by the scene of confrontation just now!
Thinking of this, he clenched his hands comfortingly and took the second step in the opposite direction.
"Three!" Yin Hun counted silently in his mouth.
"Two!" He believed that Zhang Yunfei would definitely keep him because of the secret of the cup.
"One!" If nothing unexpected happens.
"..."Okay, let's go crazy! A scumbag with only five combat power.
Yin Hui's confident smile returned to his face.
"Mr. Luo, shut up right there." Zhang Yunfei slapped the coffee table and yelled at Luo Zhe. The whole place suddenly became quiet, even the elegant and somewhat subdued piano sound stopped.
All the guests' movements froze in an instant, and they all focused their attention on the fat man whose body was shaking violently with heavy breathing.
Who would have thought that Zhang Yunfei, the snobbish man who had just been fawning on Luo Zhe, would actually turn against his old customer on the spot for Yin Hui and a word from Yin Hui. This kind of face, this kind of attitude...
Everyone's hearts were in turmoil. Luo Zhe sat down on the sofa with an expression of disbelief. He was at the top of the world a second ago, but fell to the bottom the next second. This gap was a devastating blow to a proud young man from a wealthy family. At this moment, his heart was broken like the glass that was shattered by Zhang Yunfei...
