Chapter 40: The Phoenix Hotel
As a representative of UNESCO, Edward spoke first: "As far as I know, at the moment we only have some hearsay news, and no one has seen it with his own eyes, or received the water of the Fountain of Youth. So we had to go into the jungle and find the springs of the Immortal Spring, and find a way to get a sample of the Immortal Spring. ”
It's a step-by-step approach, but it's usually the most effective, because they don't know each other well in this area, they don't have any friends, and they have to rely on their own strength.
"Edward, your approach is too old-fashioned. If nothing else, do you know how big this dense forest is? Just now I was standing on the top of the fourth floor, and I looked at it for a while, but I couldn't see the edge at a glance. According to my rough estimates, this forest is probably more than 10,000 square kilometers. Do you know what this concept is? We look for a month or two together, and it doesn't necessarily work out. John scratched his head and objected first.
This person is usually quite annoying, but what he said at this time also has some truth, if they go in and look for it themselves, it takes too much time, and it is very likely that during this time, the spring of immortality will fall into the hands of others.
And what does the old spring look like? No one has ever seen it, only a few rumors, and in these rumors, everyone says something different.
"Mr. Smith is not wrong this time, if we go in aimlessly to search, we will definitely waste our time, and someone else will get ahead of us. I wonder what Miss Jones thinks about this?" Lin Fei also hated this scientist named John a little, but his dislike was personal.
Lin Fei is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and now everyone is sitting together and talking about business, no matter how bad this John's character is, after all, he is also one of the experts who have been invited, and he still has to maintain unity on the surface.
Wearing a sundress, Emile sat on a chair, crossed Erlang's legs, put his hands on his knees, and said with a faint smile on his face: "You men should have more ideas about this kind of thing, right? To be honest, this is the first time I have participated in this kind of adventure, and I don't have any good ideas." But I think Mr. Lin Fei must already have a plan in mind, right?"
"There's no plan, and in my opinion, we're going to go in like headless flies. It's better to stay on the periphery and wait for news, wait for news, and wait for a clear goal, and then we will go in and look for it. Even if someone gets the spring of immortality, there must be someone who wants to exchange it for money, after all, that thing doesn't really make people immortal. ”
Speaking of immortality, Lin Fei knew the way to refine the elixir of immortality, the spring water of this fountain of immortality should only be able to awaken the memory of people's previous lives.
Snorted coldly, John said angrily: "The method you think of is really good, now we don't have any money, only you have a bank card in your hand." When the time comes, if you really want to buy the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, only you can buy it. As for us, we will get nothing. ”
He was not in favor of going in and looking for it, and obviously he was not in favor of waiting outside for a dime if he had to buy it with money.
This time, he came here to improve his standing in the academic world by studying the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, publishing an academic paper.
"John, how can you, as a scientist, say that? It's a bit like a villain taking the belly of a gentleman, right? Mr. Lin Fei will definitely not take the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, right? Mr. Ye?" Amiel's legs changed positions, and her movements were quite charming.
Liu Weiwei, who was sitting next to Lin Fei, stretched out his hand and pinched his arm, Lin Fei complained in his heart, and said with embarrassment: "That's natural, since everyone is doing research and use, it shouldn't be much needed, and if I can buy it, I will definitely take it out and share it with everyone." ”
After getting the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, as long as it is proved that this spring water can make people remember the things of their previous lives, he can let Liu Weiwei take it, and Liu Weiwei can remember what happened in his previous life, which contains a lot of past experiences of the two people.
At this time, Long Qianxue, who was standing at the window and looking out, suddenly turned her head and said excitedly: "The people outside are all gathered together, it seems that there is something terrible, come and take a look?"
"Shouldn't they just play mahjong together? Are you sure you see it clearly?" Zhao Weiguo said thoughtlessly, of course this was a joke.
Then he walked to the window and took a look, this time it didn't matter, after reading it, his face was also full of excitement, and then raised his voice and said: "Boss, come and see, there seems to be someone outside who is selling the spring water of the Fountain of Youth!"
Hearing this, not only Lin Fei, but everyone else couldn't sit still at this time, and they all crowded to the window at once, and the curtains were also pulled open.
Everyone looked out the window, but no, there were thousands of people gathered on the side of the road outside, and there was even a small platform set up there.
On the platform, there is an old man, dressed in a white robe, holding a silver gourd in his hand, and some tourists are kneeling on one knee and holding silver cups in both hands.
The old man poured spring water from the gourd, and the tourist's eyes looked at the silver cup in his hand, full of longing. He held it in both hands and drank it all, and then everyone saw the tourist, who staggered to his feet and threw the silver cup in his hand on the ground.
The male tourist squirmed with a weird smile on his face, and the whole person stood on the stage, the rope swaying, under the sunlight,
The eyes also became hazy.
Immediately after that, more people in the audience began to applaud, as if they thought it was a miracle, and more tourists came to the stage one after another. Lin Fei stood at the window and could see from a distance that a tourist would have to pay the price of a handful of banknotes if he wanted to get such a small cup of spring water from the Fountain of Youth.
It's about $10,000, such a high price, but some people keep coming to the stage, and they even form a long line.
Before everyone could react, the excitement on John's face could no longer be hidden, and he turned around and ran quickly towards the door, stepping on the floor creaking.
"Husband, let's go quickly, be careful of being preempted by that fat man!" Liu Weiwei pulled Lin Fei to go out, she was also very curious about the spring water of the Fountain of Youth.
But the expression on Lin Fei's face was very calm, and he said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, that guy doesn't have a dime in his hand, how can he rob us?"
Not only that guy, but also Edward and Amir, these people don't have a dime on them, even if they want to buy the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, they can only count on Lin Fei.
Everyone went downstairs and out of the hotel, crossed the road and came to the stage below, it can be said that it was crowded, and everyone crowded for a long time before squeezing to the front of the stage.
But there was already a long queue above, a few people lined up in a relatively low position, there were hundreds of people in front, don't think about it, that one gourd can't hold much spring water at all, maybe before it is their turn, the spring water has been sold out.
John, who came down early and was standing at the front of the crowd, said excitedly: "It seems that as I guessed, after drinking the spring water, these people seem to recall some of the dreams they had before, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!"
"Not necessarily, nothing, their expressions, as if they are in some kind of hallucination. It must have been my suspicion that some kind of plant grew near the fountain of youth, which affected the water and caused people to hallucinate after drinking it. Emile folded his arms over his chest, a little unimpressed.
In fact, it is a bit too early to draw conclusions, and we must check the composition of the spring water before we can make a conclusion.
Edward turned around at this time, looked at Lin Fei and asked, "Mr. Ye, I don't know what you think? The spring water of this Fountain of Youthlessness is really as magical as the legend?"
Originally, Edward didn't believe in this, but now that the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, it was close at hand, and after those people drank the water, it did have some effect.
As for how the person concerned felt, they certainly couldn't know, but from the expressions of those people, it could be seen that they seemed to enjoy it very much.
"In my opinion, this is not the fountain of the Fountain of Youth, which we are looking for. If you look at the expressions on the faces of those people, it's clear that they are under the influence of some kind of drug, and that drug is probably a nerve drug. Besides, how much spring water can be held in that gourd, everyone knows in their hearts. That old man has changed the gourd several times with a special technique, and you can see it if you pay attention to it. ”
Based on Lin Fei's experience, he had already seen that those people, after drinking the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, showed a sick state, not an expression of enjoyment. "
In fact, as long as you look closely, you can find that the old man is wearing a very wide robe. He quietly put the silver gourd into his robe, and when he took it out again, he had already replaced it with a new one.
And the kid who has been following him is responsible for helping him change the gourd all the time, and in just a while, he has changed several silver gourds.
That silver gourd can pour dozens of cups of water at a time, so if you calculate it, there should already be hundreds of people drinking the water of the so-called Fountain of Youth.
Every time someone finished drinking, they would sway on the stage and dance like they were drunk, and then a few other people would help them down.
Standing there and watching for a while, Lin Fei suddenly hugged Liu Weiwei's waist and said, "Wife, why don't we go, the water of this immortal spring should be fake." ”
If, according to the legend, the water of the Immortal Spring can make people remember the memories of their previous lives after drinking, then this water should contain extremely strong heaven and earth aura, but Lin Fei didn't feel it at all.
"How can it be, there are so many people waiting here, let's wait a little longer, maybe we will have a chance to drink. Liu Weiwei was also a little nostalgic at this time.
Not only her, but also the eyes of others revealed a longing, after all, this is the water of the spring of immortality, maybe it can prolong life.
It's just that not long after this spring was discovered, it is impossible to confirm whether it can prolong people's lifespan.
John, who was at the front of the line, turned around and said, "Lin Fei, you have forgotten the purpose of our coming here, we are looking for the water of the Spring of Immortality, and now that this spring water is right in front of you, do you want to give up?
"Don't want to pay for it? Before you forgot Mr. Ye, you spent tens of thousands of dollars just for a meal, and the cost of staying in a hotel this time is not low. Mr. Ye said that he was leaving, and he must have his thoughts. Without waiting for Lin Fei to speak, Emir helped Lin Fei speak.
But Edward was on John's side at this time, and he said with some embarrassment on his face: "Mr. Ye, it's not that I don't trust you, just like I originally said. The purpose of our coming here is to get the water of the Fountain of Youth, regardless of the water
Whether it's true or not, we all have to buy a little bit and come back to check it, otherwise I won't be able to pay the difference. ”
Just when several people were arguing, something terrible suddenly happened on the stage, there was a girl in her twenties, holding a silver cup in both hands, and after drinking the spring water in the silver cup, something strange suddenly happened.
She became very excited at first, stood up directly, and threw the silver cup away. Others would have had some excitement when they drank the spring water, but never as excited as she was, with a kind of madness in her eyes and a smirk on her face.
Several of the old man's assistants wanted to get the girl down quickly, but as soon as they rushed up, they were beaten by the woman.
The girl's skills don't seem to be bad, and her strength is quite strong, and when she punches someone in the face, she directly swells the person's face.
For a while, no one dared to go up again, and the people around them dispersed at this time, and a large space was vacant on the stage.
"Master, look at that girl, it seems to be the Blanche we saw before?!" Long Qianxue recognized the girl at this time.
Lin Fei turned his head sideways and glanced at the stage, that girl had silver hair and was tall, and when she looked at her face again, was she the girl before?!
Before Lin Fei could speak, John had already rushed onto the stage and shouted: "It's really a narrow road, and I actually ran into it here, where is my gold watch! Stinky bitch, take out my wallet and gold watch for me!"
He was much stronger than the girl, and he stepped forward to grab Blanche, who knew that Blanche looked a little crazy on the surface, but her skills were still there.
As soon as John's hand came over him, he was grabbed by Blanche before he could touch Blanche's shoulder. The silver-haired girl dodged, jumped, and climbed directly onto John's back.
The next moment, Blanche's two hands had already grabbed John's two ears and grabbed them tightly, and John let out a pig cry at this time: "Ah!! my ears!! you crazy woman, what are you going to do?!"
"John, how are you?!" Edward also rushed up at this time, with Lin Fei and others behind him, he turned to Lin Fei and said, "Mr. Ye, let a few of your bodyguards go up and save John, after all, we are here together, and we can't leave him alone." ”
Lin Fei stood there and smiled, gave Zhao Weiguo a look and said, "You take Song Ziqiang and Li Weifeng up and catch that Blanche, after all, she stole all of our things." ”
Immediately after Zhao Weiguo, Song Ziqiang and Li Weifeng, three people rushed forward, two of them pressed John's shoulder, and the other reached out to grab the silver-haired girl.
But the silver-haired girl's body was very flexible, Zhao Weiguo had just grabbed her two legs and raised them high, and the girl directly put down her two hands and came up with an upside-down golden hook.
Originally, there was nothing in this action, that is, head down and feet up, but then, her two small fists came directly on Zhao Weiguo's crotch twice.
"This is the forbidden part!" Zhao Weiguo didn't expect the other party to have this move, he took a few steps back, the pain of the broken egg can be imagined, he sat on the ground with a drum, gritted his teeth, and lost his ability to fight next time.
The people around who originally wanted to drink the spring water were even more scattered at this time, and the people who wanted to see the excitement couldn't take care of it at this time.
After the silver-haired girl fell to the ground, she actually lay on the ground and didn't stand up, Song Ziqiang and Li Weifeng immediately rushed up and wanted to catch her.
"Defend the country, don't worry, we will avenge you!"
"I don't believe it, we two big men can't beat you little girl!"
As a result, the silver-haired girl actually went berserk again, jumping up from the ground like a frog, and these two people had never seen such a move, and they were suddenly frightened and stupid.
By the time the two of them remembered to block it with their arms, it was too late, knock knock! The two of them were kicked in the stomach, and the force of this kick was very large, both of them weighed more than 70 kilograms, and they were both kicked away!
This is a bit against Newton's classical mechanics, this sturdy silver-haired girl, even if she is about 1.7 meters tall. But the figure is very slim, and it is only fifty kilograms to die, and two people who add up to almost three hundred pounds are directly kicked away?!"
The two of them flew out several meters and landed directly on the ground, with a sharp pain in their abdomen, and there was a click! The stage built by the wooden planks was also smashed out of two holes at this time, and the two people's leather drums were directly trapped in the stage.
"The three of you are really too inferior, you can't even deal with such a woman, and you still want to be a bodyguard like this?!" Lin Fei took off his coat and handed it to Liu Weiwei.
Seeing this situation, Liu Weiwei was also a little scared, originally she wanted to catch that girl and get her lost property back, but now she saw that girl was so violent, she was already resigned, where is this girl?!
Just as Lin Fei took a step and walked out, Liu Weiwei grabbed his arm at once, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "That girl seems to be crazy, let's leave her alone, it's nothing more than the loss of some property, as long as everyone is okay." ”
"Weiwei, don't worry, I'm more than enough to deal with her, you stand here and don't move forward. Lin Fei smiled slightly, grabbed Liu Weiwei's hand with his hand, and then took it off his arm.
