Chapter 274 Fish Fly in the Sky, Birds Swim in the Sea
Bai Ningyu simply scratched her head and stopped thinking about it.
Today is the day when the mummy is on public display. Bai Ningyu decided to go to the exhibition hall to see what is on display at this auction.
So after washing up and having a simple breakfast, she went to the exhibition hall.
A lot of people have gathered in the exhibition hall.
Rather than calling it an exhibition hall, it would be more accurate to say that this is a small trading place.
The exhibition hall is divided into two floors. The upper floor displays some of the auction items from Sky Island, such as the mummy.
On the lower level, guests set up their own stalls.
They displayed their treasures, and if anyone present took a fancy to one of them, they could come forward to negotiate, either by bartering or by purchasing it with spirit stones.
This can also be regarded as a warm-up for the auction on Sky Island tomorrow.
Many people were attracted by the mummies and went straight to the exhibition hall on the second floor.
Bai Ningyu looked at the crowd on the second floor and did not rush forward, but strolled around the first floor.
In front of each stall, there was everything, whether it was elixirs, weapons, or spiritual plants, and even some antique jades were brought out.
Bai Ningyu strolled around slowly, but in her eyes, these things seemed a little disappointing.
Even the highest grade elixir is only a fifth grade elixir.
Seeing this, she started to look at the antiques.
These antiques seem to be more interesting than elixirs and the like, and include objects from various dynasties.
Bai Ningyu even saw a handsome blond man with a gorgeous sword in front of him, but after a closer look, she stopped in her tracks.
The hilt of this sword is extremely long and is engraved with nine golden dragons. The scabbard is made of precious shark skin and is inlaid with rubies, sapphires, and diamonds.
The price of this thing at an auction is inestimable, not to mention, if I'm not mistaken, this sword is the Nine Dragon Sword!
That’s right, it’s the sword that was stolen from the Eastern Tomb by Sun Dianying and its whereabouts are unknown!
I didn’t expect to see China’s national treasure that had been missing for many years here on Sky Island.
Many people recognized the Nine Dragon Sword, but not many actually stopped to look at it.
After all, this thing is flashy and too big to be used as a target. Even if it is brought back to China, there is only one way, which is to hand it over. If you are not careful, it will cause trouble.
Moreover, most people only go to the auction for the items, and they are not willing to spend a lot of money to buy such a "dangerous" item.
At this moment, a familiar voice came into Bai Ningyu's ears.
"Oh my god! The stuff in here is really amazing, young comrade, if we sell this thing back, it will be worth a lot of money!" The fat man pointed at the Nine Dragon Sword with shining eyes and said to the middle-aged man beside him.
The middle-aged man looked at the Nine Dragon Sword with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He then rolled his eyes at the fat man beside him and said, "This thing is too conspicuous. Even if I could take it back, I can't sell it. I can only hand it over to the country."
The fat man put his hand on his chin and clicked his tongue twice, his face full of regret and reluctance: "What a pity, this is our Chinese treasure.
Even if it falls into the hands of our Chinese people, it is still good, otherwise..."
As he spoke, the fat man glanced at the aloof young man. The meaning was self-evident: he wanted the young man to steal the thing.
The middle-aged man understood what the fat man meant, and hurriedly stopped him in a low voice: "Fatty, behave yourself and don't forget our purpose this time.
Once this is done, if there's a chance, we'll see if we can take the Nine Dragon Sword back with us."
The man wearing black sunglasses said, "Hey, apprentice, when did you become so rich that you can even afford the Nine Dragon Sword?"
The fat man rolled his eyes and chuckled, "That's wrong. We may not have any money, but don't we still have Huabei, the God of Wealth, here?"
As he said this, he looked at the exquisite man in the pink shirt next to the black glasses.
The man in the pink shirt twitched his lips. "Whose Huabei account would owe 30 billion yuan, and spend it without paying it back?"
When the 30 billion was mentioned, the middle-aged man immediately pretended to be very busy and did not dare to look at her.
The young man stood there blankly with his hands folded across his chest.
The fat man smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, I didn't say I wouldn't return it. If you have anything to ask, no matter how hard it is, I will definitely accomplish it."
The girl in the pink shirt ignored the three people in front of her. Instead, she turned around, walked up to the blond and blue-eyed foreign handsome guy and asked, "How do you bid?"
The handsome foreign man smiled and shook his head, then replied in fluent Chinese: "As long as you help me complete one thing, I will give you this sword."
The fat man became interested when he heard it and asked hurriedly: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"My great-grandfather went to Yushan in China for a geological survey in 1979, but he never returned.
I want to find my great-grandfather, whether he's dead or alive, or to learn what happened to him during his trip to Yushan." The handsome foreign man made his request.
After hearing this, the fat man looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Yushan? Which Yushan? Yumen Pass?"
"I think the Jade Mountain he mentioned refers to Kunlun Mountain. It is more than 2,500 kilometers long and has more than 7,000 glaciers. The landforms are complex and difficult to identify, and the area is huge. Is there a specific location that your great-grandfather visited back then?" asked the middle-aged man.
The handsome foreign guy frowned and said, "I don't know, but in the last letter my great-grandfather sent me, he mentioned that he saw the road to the fairyland there."
The fat man chuckled when he heard this and said, "Your old man is really good at fooling people. What road to the fairyland? I think he is hallucinating! It's such a big place, and there is no exact location. It's been so many years, there is no way to find it."
However, the handsome foreigner said firmly, "No, my great-grandfather wouldn't lie to me. He said that in the fairyland, fish fly in the sky, birds swim in the water, and tigers have nine heads..."
"I'm not saying anything, buddy, are you sure you're not telling a fairy tale? Why does it seem more and more fantastic the more I listen?" The fat man complained with a look of disbelief.
"The Kaiming Beast guards the nine gates of Kunlun. It seems that your great-grandfather really saw the gate of Kunlun leading to heaven." Bai Ningyu said at this time.
The handsome foreign man became excited when he heard Bai Ningyu's words: "My beautiful Chinese girl, since you know about the Kaiming Beast, can you help me find my great-grandfather, or take me to the place he mentioned?"
The man wearing black sunglasses and the middle-aged man then noticed Bai Ningyu, the woman who saved their lives last night.
"Hi, beauty, what a coincidence, we meet again." The man wearing black sunglasses greeted Bai Ningyu enthusiastically.
"Thank you for what you did yesterday." The middle-aged man immediately expressed his gratitude when he saw Bai Ningyu.
"You guys helped me yesterday, so let's call it even." Bai Ningyu said as she looked at the handsome foreigner. "You can't enter Tianmen just by asking. I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it."
Then Bai Ningyu left the stall.
The fat man looked at the young man beside him, his eyes fixed on Bai Ningyu's back, and asked, "What's wrong, little brother? Isn't there something wrong with her?"
A hint of doubt flashed in the young man's eyes: "She gives me the feeling of the white girl from Yumen Mountain."
After hearing what the young man said, the fat man and the middle-aged man suddenly opened their eyes wide.
The fat man clapped his hands and said, "You're right, the voice is really similar, but there's something wrong. Could it be that he's disguised?"
The young man remained noncommittal.
