Li Xi is also a folk transcendent, but the transcendents of the Nine Shadows are very face-selling to him. Because the clothes he made are works of art, being able to wear the clothes made by Li Xi is a symbol of status.

Li Xi loves calligraphy and painting, but he loves Chinese painting. Legend has it that Li Xi was Li Fanzhi's uncle, and he once criticized Li Fanzhi for only painting oil paintings and not Chinese paintings. In this regard, Li Fanzhi is also very helpless, because he has been painting oil since elementary school, and has never learned to paint Chinese painting.

When Zi Rat saw Ji Tianci's Chinese painting attainments, he naturally thought of Li Xi. The Li family are all figures in the art circle, and they must be amazed when they see this kind of ink painting.

The Light and Shadow Art City was originally a film city built by the Light and Shadow Entertainment Group in Wuyang City, and later, when Lu Manwen came to Wuyang University to study, he converted the first floor of the Art City into an exhibition hall. There are often clothing exhibitions, art fairs and even new car launches held here.

The City of Light and Shadow is only four storeys, but it covers an extremely large area, about the size of a medium-sized shopping mall. And its geographical location is excellent, built in the downtown area of Wuyang.

Lu Manwen was busy in the next few days, busy setting up the pavilion. She also sent Ji Tianci's ink photos to Li Fanzhi's mailbox.

Li Fanzhi replied that he would come to visit the exhibition on the same day.

Zi Rat also came with good news, and he finally contacted Li Xi with great difficulty. After Li Xi saw the photo, he asked directly, "Do you sell these inks?"

Zi Rat made the master for Ji Tianci, and replied directly: "It's not for sale, but it can be sent." ”

On Friday, many reporters came to the gate on the first floor of Light and Shadow Art City in the downtown business district of Wuyang. But most of them are still here for Li Fanzhi, and when people heard that Li Fanzhi was going to attend an art exhibition, they all came to join in the fun, wanting to see what kind of art exhibition could make a master like Li Fanzhi also visit.

The ceiling height of the pavilion on the first floor is more than six meters, and the entire pavilion is arranged into a world of black and white light and shadow. There are less than a hundred of Ji Tianci's paintings, and even if they are carefully designed, those paintings still look a little empty when they are placed inside.

Lu Manwen had an idea and asked Ji Tianci to write more ancient characters, and then set up a special "ancient text area" in the exhibition hall.

In this way, the exhibition hall is much more enriched. This is Ji Tianci's personal exhibition of calligraphy and painting, and Lu Manwen does not allow any foreign works to gain popularity.

Friday was designated as "Media Day" by Lu Manwen, and the pavilion was closed to the public, only media and experts were allowed to enter. Security guards throughout the City of Arts have also been placed to stand on the first floor.

Lu Manwen also stood at the door, greeting one figure after another in the art circle.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Fanzhi walked into the exhibition hall wearing an ordinary windbreaker, Lu Manwen personally took him in, and the cameras in the hands of reporters were also aimed at Li Fanzhi.

Li Fanzhi is a handsome middle-aged man, exuding the charm of a mature man, although he is in his forties, the whole person only looks like he is in his early thirties.

When he entered, he started looking at the first painting. Ji Tianci's paintings are divided into four series and placed in four exhibition areas, the first exhibition area is the "Zodiac Chart" representing the ancient culture of the Nine Shadows, the second exhibition area is the "Character Impression Map", the third exhibition area is the "Doomsday Series", and the fourth exhibition area is the "Ancient Characters Series".

Lu Man wanted to tell him the story behind each painting, but Li Fanzhi stopped her.

"Miss Manwen, it's better not to talk about it, after you say it, I will only understand the painting according to your thinking, and I can't better understand the author's emotions when painting. ”

Lu Manwen was shocked, and then scolded himself secretly. In terms of artistic attainments, I am afraid that I am just a yellow-haired girl, and I even want to explain the paintings to the master, and the other party may be able to understand Ji Tianci's paintings better than myself.

Lu Manwen stood behind Li Fanzhi without saying a word, like a little follower, Li Fanzhi asked after reading the twelve zodiac pictures: "How old is the author?"

"Eighteen, he had just passed his seventeenth birthday. Lu Manwen replied.

"Not yet eighteen, you know him very well?" Li Fanzhi was a little surprised.

Lu Manwen's face blushed a little, "He's my boyfriend......"

Li Fanzhi smiled knowingly, "Which work painted you?"

"In the second exhibition area. ”

"Take me there. ”

……

The two came to the second exhibition area, Li Fanzhi looked very slow this time, and he found that the paintings in this exhibition area were more emotionally used by the author. Among the 12 zodiac signs in the first exhibition area, except for the first "Mouse" painting, the other 11 paintings are not deeply emotional.

In this second exhibition area, it is said that the "impressions of people" are exhibited, but none of them are "people", and most of them are "objects". And the largest "but to be a mandarin duck not a fairy" is a landscape painting.

Li Fanzhi "saw" people with different personalities from each painting, and he was also amazed in his heart, he had never been so accomplished at this age, what kind of people did this child meet?

He pointed to "But being a mandarin duck is not an immortal" and asked Lu Manwen, "This painting is you?"

"Hmm. Lu Manwen was still a little shy.

"Why don't I know the words on these paintings? ”

"Writing in antiquity. ”

Li Fanzhi was taken aback, "He knows ancient characters?"

"Yes, he can recognize it all. ”

"After reading the paintings, I'm going to see him. ”

Speaking of this, Li Fanzhi suddenly smiled interestingly: "This rose is painted by his enemy, right? This 'Jade Rabbit on the Moon' is painted by his lover's sister, right? It seems that there are many confidantes at a young age! Yes, those who engage in art should be more romantic." I think I also talked about a few earth-shattering relationships back then, and I found a lot of creative inspiration. ”

Lu Manwen wanted to laugh when he heard this, the "rose" was "Nangong", and the work painted with the bright moon and the jade rabbit was "Mai Future". But his "main room" is still standing here, and he is not shy about saying that his man is "romantic".

The two came to the third exhibition area again, and Li Fanzhi was stunned when he saw the first painting, and his expression became more and more solemn.

The painting he looked at was also the first ink painting painted by Ji Tianci, "Ignorance is a blessing".

"I want to see him now, where is he?" Li Fanzhi asked Lu Manwen with some seriousness.

"Okay, you wait, he's resting in the back. ”

***

Ji Tianci was in the staff room, studying the paintings of other painters on the computer. Suddenly, Lu Manwen ran over in a panic.

"Let's go, Li Fanzhi wants to see you. ”

Two minutes later, Ji Tianci came to Li Fanzhi's side, and before he could say hello, Li Fanzhi first asked, "Why do you want to draw the end of the world?"

Ji Tianci was stunned for a moment, and replied without much thought: "Because I feel the end of the world." ”

Li Fanzhi closed his eyes and pondered, and after a long time, he opened his eyes again and said: "After I became a master of painting, I often dreamed of apocalyptic scenes, terrible monsters, and the ugliness of human nature, so I began to paint the apocalypse.

Later, I found out that there was a painter in the West who also painted the end of the world, he painted scenes, I painted objects, and we became friends. There is a voice in our souls that constantly reminds us that the end is coming. But we don't know when it will come, and in what way.

He and I both thought we were the "chosen ones" and the ones chosen to save the world, but we didn't know what we had to do. I am afraid that there is only one person in this world who can understand us except him, but unfortunately that person has just left us recently.

I want to ask you, are you also extraordinary?"
