On Sunday, the exhibition hall of Light and Shadow Art City was extremely popular, and more and more people came here, and everyone seemed to use it as a meeting place, and the people who came to visit the exhibition knew each other.

The pavilion, which was supposed to be quiet, became bustling with people, discussing their understanding of Ji Tianci's ink paintings.

Li Xi was like a host, constantly greeting "guests", and introducing "guests" to Ji Tianci one by one, as if showing what a great "brother" he had.

In the evening, the exhibition ended, and Li Xi took down the "Nangong".

"Brother God, your art exhibition should be held three or five times a year, and now most of them are modern art exhibitions, and it is rare to see a Chinese painting exhibition like yours. It's a good idea to hold a few more times so that we can get together with our old friends. ”

"Okay, no problem, next time I have a new work, I'll still hold an exhibition here. ”

Li Xi pondered for a moment, "I heard Fanzhi say that you will go to Dubai tomorrow, so be more careful when you go there." ”

"Thank you Brother Li for your concern, we are just going to buy things, and we shouldn't be in trouble. ”

***

Early in the morning, Ji Tianci and Lu Manwen rushed to the airport.

At the business jet terminal of Wuyang Airport, Li Fanzhi and Professor Ye were already waiting in the VIP lounge.

Ji Tianci sighed again after seeing Li Fanzhi's plane. Li Fanzhi's plane is a "Bombardier Challenger 350", and the fuselage size is one size smaller than Bloomberg's plane, but it is not much smaller.

The plane was spray-painted sideways, and it was a very abstract portrait of a human head. Ji Tianci only observed for a while and found that this avatar was painted by Li Fanzhi, and he was really a very narcissistic uncle.

The cabin can accommodate 16 people, except for the two pilots, there are only four of them.

After getting on the plane, Ji Tianci couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Li, why did you buy such a big plane as a painter?"

Li Fanzhi did not answer, but looked at Professor Ye with "resentment".

Ye Xiangdong coughed, "There are a lot of people in our 'treasure digging team', and most of the time, we travel on the top ten. ”

Ji Tianci suddenly realized that this plane was bought to facilitate this group of "treasure diggers".

Li Fanzhi opened his mouth at this time and said, "This plane is not too big, your father-in-law's plane is a 'Challenger 850', which is much more luxurious than mine." ”

Lu Manwen's face turned red, she knew that the "father-in-law" in Li Fanzhi's mouth was her father.

"Oh, by the way, I made you a 'scabbard' last night, and you put the Mo Evil Sword in this scabbard, which makes it easier to travel. ”

Professor Ye pulled out a "painting tube" from his huge suitcase, which looked like a painting tube for ordinary design drawings. But when the lid is opened, the inside is similar to the scabbard structure.

Ji Tianci originally used a wooden box to carry the Mo Evil Sword, and it was not too strict when passing through the security check by private jet, and Ji Tianci boarded the plane smoothly. But if you run outside with a sword on your back all day, it will always attract people's attention, and it is much more convenient to carry a painting tube on your back.

Ji Tianci took out the fiery Mo Evil Sword again and put it into the "scabbard" that Professor Ye had prepared for him. The size is just right, Ji Tianci tried to carry it, and it was quite light.

"I also made a layer of 'heavy metal protective film' inside this scabbard, which can absorb and reflect X-rays, and only a curled 'paper' can be seen inside the ordinary security detector inspection tube. ”

When Ji Tianci heard this, his heart was even more happy, "Thank you, Professor Ye." ”

"It's all your own people, what else to talk about, not to mention that you are still our ancestor. ”

Ji Tianci smiled helplessly, about his life experience, he wanted to find out more and more. However, if it is really as Mo Ye said, he is a descendant of Shennong, where can he start with these characters thousands of years ago?

The plane took off, and the original passenger plane from Wuyang to Dubai did not have a direct flight route, and it would take more than ten or twenty hours to fly to Dubai at the earliest. And now by private jet, you can reach Dubai in about eight hours.

Dubai's time zone is four hours behind the Nine Shades time zone, and it was noon when the plane landed at Dubai International Airport.

Dubai is a modern international metropolis, the most populous city in the UAE, the richest city in the Middle East, and the economic and financial center of the Middle East, known as the "trading capital" of the Middle East and North Africa.

Located in the middle of the Arabian Peninsula and on the southern shore of the Arabian Gulf, Dubai is the center of the Gulf region. The city has a permanent population of about 2.8 million people, but only about 15% of the local population is local, and expatriates come from more than 200 countries and regions around the world. There are also about 340,000 people living in Dubai.

Dubai is also one of the world's international financial centers, serving as a bridge between the capital markets of the East and the West, as well as international logistics, trade, transportation, tourism and shopping malls.

After Ji Tianci got off the plane, he went directly to the "Atlantis Hotel". It wasn't that they decided to stay first, but that the little sword on the steel plate pointed at the hotel.

Li Fanzhi stood in front of the hotel and smiled bitterly, "Are you really going to auction at an auction? ”

……

Atlantis is located on a man-made island in Dubai. This artificial island, in the shape of a tree, is called 'The Palm', and there are a large number of villas and apartments for sale on the island, adding many beaches to the entire Emirate of Dubai.

The $14 billion Palm Dubai is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

The Atlantis Hotel is based on the theme of Atlantis, an ancient country with a high degree of civilization, covering an area of 113 acres, costing 1.5 billion US dollars, and is located on the world's largest man-made island.

The interior of the hotel is luxurious and elegant, and there are many star-rated restaurants, nightclubs, and business centers.

Li Fanzhi was invited to the hotel to participate in the auction, and the four of them stayed in two luxurious rooms. The hotel has a total of 1,500 rooms, Ji Tianci was also smacked after seeing the price of the room, the cheapest room also cost 5,000 nine coins, and the rooms they stayed in were 20,000 nine coins a night.

Professor Ye and Li Fanzhi lived in the same room, and Ji Tianci and Lu Manwen were also in their room at this time.

Ji Tianci summoned Mo Ye again, and Mo Ye was very excited to tell everyone that the sword was on the top floor.

Li Fanzhi sighed, the top floor is the venue of the auction, the auction will officially start at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the collection in this auction will start at least one million dollars.

Li Fanzhi didn't pay much attention to this auction, he originally just wanted to come on vacation, and he didn't even plan to participate in the auction, because the auction was "too expensive", so he waited for his works to be auctioned off and took the money and left.

In the room, Li Fanzhi said to the other three: "Do you know who is holding this auction?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Li Fanzhi continued: "Think about it, why is this hotel called Atlantis. ”

Ji Tianci pondered for a moment, "Atlantis first appeared in the ancient Greek philosopher Plato's book "Dialogues", which depicts a city-state with a high degree of civilization development. According to legend, it was Poseidon, the god of the sea, who founded the kingdom of Atlantis. And in Greek mythology, Poseidon and Zeus are brothers, is this hotel related to the European temple of the gods?"

Li Fanzhi nodded, "Exactly, although Atlantis is a private hotel, it has the support of the Temple of the Gods behind it. Auctions are held here at this time of year, mostly for items from the mortal world, but every five years, an auction from the otherworldly realm is held here.

As you can all guess, the Gods Cup is also held every five years, and the Extraordinary Auction here is to be held a year before the Gods' Cup, and tomorrow's auction will be the Extraordinary Auction.

I've heard of the finale of this auction, which is a long-established artifact, the 'Neptune Trident'. Legend has it that it was once the weapon of the Sea Emperor Poseidon, and the Temple of the Gods put it up for auction because none of them could use it anymore.

The last time they bought 'Thunder', it had already damaged the entire Greek economy, and this time they must have wanted to sell the Neptune Trident at a high price to make up for the deficit in the treasury. ”

Hearing this, Professor Ye asked Li Fanzhi again, "Do you have any relevant information about this auction? Since it is an auction, customers can know in advance what items will be auctioned, right?"

Li Fanzhi smiled awkwardly, "I didn't plan to buy anything before, so I didn't pay too much attention to it, you wait a minute, I'll go to the organizer to get an auction brochure." ”

After Li Fanzhi finished speaking, he walked out of the door, and he went directly to the top floor. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw two "security guards" standing at the door, and behind the security guards stood a warning sign that read "Do not enter" in various Chinese languages.

The two security guards were Europeans, and Li Fanzhi knew at a glance that they were the transcendents of the Temple of the Gods, and they were both C-level transcendental.

Li Fanzhi took out an "invitation letter" from his pocket and handed it to the security guard, only to see one of the security guards take the invitation and hold it in his hand, then he looked down at the invitation, and two blue electric lights shot out of his eyes and landed on the invitation.

In just one second, the security guard returned the invitation to Li Fanzhi, and then made a "please" gesture and let Li Fanzhi enter the venue.

The venue is divided into a vestibule and a back hall, the front hall is a palatial lounge, and the back hall is the venue of the auction, the door is locked and not open.

At this time, most of the staff in the front hall are staffed, and there are many large screens hanging in the hall, which show in detail the collections that will be auctioned tomorrow.

Li Fanzhi didn't look at these screens too much, he only glanced at them, and also found that there was a wide steel sword in these collections. He asked a young and beautiful staff member to bring him a thick catalogue, which also contained detailed information about the collection.

After getting the album, Li Fanzhi did not stop, and went directly to the elevator and returned to the room.

The four of Ji Tianci flipped around this atlas, and when they turned to the steel sword, Ji Tianci summoned Mo Ye again.

The moment Mo Ye saw the album, he shouted excitedly: "It's him, he is my husband's general." ”
