Chapter 134 Crisis of Dragon King Temple (2/2)
”You said this is...Ganoderma lucidum?” Zhe associated it with the packaged Ganoderma lucidum at home and found the great resemblance. Maybe the scene was just too unusual for him to think of. He couldn't help but lay on the table, watching the Ganoderma lucidum that grew out within five minutes. This Ganoderma lucidum seemed very authentic and convincing, with deeper color and a unique fragrance. He asked out of curiosity, ”How did it happen?”
”It's because of Master Long Fei. In the Journey to the West, White Dragon Horse once said,” Zhou Yuan thought about it thoroughly, so he began to say it in a pedantic way. ”A real dragon should have a peculiar physique. And when his own saliva, also as known as Ambergris, fell on the ground, Ganoderma lucidum would grow out of it.”
Hao Ning looked at Zhou Yuan, amazed that this moment god was really full of resource in any emergency. In the original novel, the White Dragon Horse said his urine could grow Ganoderma lucidum when poured into the ground. It was obvious that Zhou Yuan was not mistaken, but that mentioning the excrement while everyone was eating wouldn't be very elegant. So it was temporarily modified. Zhe was still a bit confused, so Hao Ning explained it for Zhou Yuan: ”Long Fei just sprayed his saliva into the deep layer of this wooden table, so the wood grows out Ganoderma lucidum. This legend seems to be true. Of course, it is also related to Long Fei using magical power on this wood, and this wood was of good quality.”
”What the hell!” Zhe burst into a foul language as he slapped his thigh. Hao Ning suddenly felt that this second generation of the rich family was also very cute. Zhe then called the owner in. ”I want this table. Take no matter how much you want from...” He thought about it and blinked naughtily. ”From my brother's account. He lost a lot to me when playing the King of Glory two days ago.”
The chubby owner nodded consecutively. He felt strange as he saw the Ganoderma lucidum in front of Long Fei. He couldn't help but took a few more glances at Long Fei and went out quickly.
”It's a real eye-opener!” Although Zhe didn't lack such things as Ganoderma lucidum, it was his first time seeing such an interesting scene. Of course, Zhe was also aware that no one would believe such a strange thing even if he told them this story. He asked the boss for this table totally out of curiosity.
Half of the Italian dishes were served, and then Hao Ning understood why Zhe came here. This restaurant was not like a simple pasta restaurant outside. But every dish was specially prepared by the chef, such as the delicious Spanish blood sausage, though seemed bloody. Hao Ning was afraid to eat for his upset stomach, but others had a good delight. This was a good restaurant except for its long waiting time, leaving a gap for everyone to chat freely while drinking, only the chat, Zhe soon got familiar to everyone. Hao Ning was curious that Zhe never mentioned about learning Kung Fu again. It was like an endurance race. Both sides knew what cards each other had, but they didn't show them out.
Even so, Hao Ning tried his best but couldn't figure out how to teach Zhe this ”Kung Fu” that he ”borrowed”. So he would be happy as long as Zhe didn't mention it.
”Brother Long...” Zhe finally determined Long Fei's title. Long Fei couldn't be happier when he heard this title. For one time, finally, it wasn't him that called other people ”masters”. Someone was willing to call him Brother Long. Originally, Long Fei wanted a title with some ancient styles. But after Zhe called out, Ye's face went red. Zhou Yuan quickly stopped Zhe, saying that the ancient name resembled the Chinese pronunciation of breast augmentation and that Long Fei would prefer a name with obvious gender differences. So it had come to be Brother Long. What Long Fei didn't realize was that this name sounded as if he was from a gang.
”Brother Long, I owe an apology to you!” Zhe raised a glass of water－he suggested drinking wine but Liu Shuai knew that Hao Ning could not drink, so he lied that people who practiced magical power could not touch these. Therefore, Zhe replaced the wine with water－Holding the cup, Zhe took a bow at Long Fei. Long Fei stood up quickly. ”I promised you before to reconstruct your golden body and increase the incense you get. I can't mobilize my family resources because I am still a student. So I was planning to build several shopping and entertainment center cities near your temple when I graduate a few years later.”
“So it's true?” Hao Ning asked curiously, ”You really have a plan?”
”Of course,” Zhe looked at Hao Ning seriously. ”I, Wang Shizhe, never break promises.” Zhe gave a tribute to Long Fei. ”In my plan, you would have to wait another two years. But there have been some changes recently. Through my brother's relationship, the amount of incense on your side may be faster to rise.”
”Why?” Long Fei hasn't spoken yet, Liu Shuai asked for him, ”Would you build a house over there?”
”Not us.” Zhe shook his head with a smile. ”A new subway is to be built there, and I have tried my way to open three subway stations near your Dragon Temple.
”Oh my God!” Long Fei was still confused with the relationship between subway stations and his own incense. Hao Ning, on the other hand, had already understood. Though Hao Ning was a master who could move everything, Zhe was a master of accomplishing great tasks with little effort by clever maneuvers. The reason why no one went to Long Fei’s Dragon God Temple was mainly that it was inconvenient to go, which was surrounded by ragged factories. But if the subway was to build there, countless developers would build houses and living districts around its neighborhood, so the popularity would naturally rise. With those subway stations, it was hard to imagine how many people would flow through the temple every day. Moreover, the Dragon God Temple was generally a symbol of good weather and good fortune. With more mysterious propaganda, the number of people who made wishes and offered Sea Lanterns would certainly increase, whether they believed it or not. Hao Ning couldn't help but admire this bright college student. It seemed that he was a man of skill to come up with this method. Of course, it also related to the resources he could influence.
Hao Ning didn't spare his compliment. It was a good thing for Long Fei after all. He gave Zhe a thumb up. ”Zhe, you are brilliant to come up with this method.”
At this time, Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan also understood. Seeing that Long Fei was still confused, Liu Shuai knew that he was not clear about what the subway stations meant to ordinary people, nor did he understand its influences on house prices and business relationships, so he suppressed the excitement and explained to Long Fei in a whisper.
”Heh-hey, thank you, Master Hao Ning.” Zhe changed the title of Hao Ning several times in about an hour. Zhe smiled, and he frowned slightly, said quite embarrassedly, ”But there is also a risk here.”
”What risk?” Long Fei was about to raise his spirits after listening to Liu Shuai's analysis. He got nervous again. ”Is there no way to open three subway stations?”
”Well, there are risks indeed.” Hao Ning thought carefully, and he figured out that the plan was not perfect. ”If it becomes a commercial real estate, or residential area, then the Dragon God Temple is kind of out of pace with its surroundings. The Dragon God Temple has a tiny income in one day. But the land would worth much more, if the mountain behind it is changed into a shopping mall or an office building. Moreover, those merchants can't get a penny from the Dragon God Temple.”
”Yeah, I expressed my concern with Zhe before.” Ye frowned and also said. ”I was thinking maybe I thought too much. Since even Master Hao Ning said so, the possibility might be huge.”
“I heard...” Zhe took a bite of bread and thought carefully after drinking the soup, then he cautiously said, ”...that some businessmen were already considering to blow up the mountain and move the temple to another place. In case it can't be moved, they plan to buy it, downsize it and move it elsewhere.”
Hao Ning stared at Zhe and said nothing. He was thinking about what Zhe wanted to say.
”Blow up? Blow up the mountain?” Long Fei's harmless face immediately turned angry as Zhe was saying that. The water in each person's cup suddenly flashed up into the air and turned into a black cloud in the air, flying in private rooms with lightning in it from time to time. Although the dark clouds were small, the momentum was great, even a bit terrible. ”You can't blow it up! Yu Fei's memories and ashes...” Long Fei saw Zhe and Ye's fear on their face, realizing that he was a little out of control. He apologized quickly and then took a snap, the black cloud flew in the air and disappeared.
Although Long Fei didn't say anything again, the excitement in his heart was still unable to calm down. The anger was all written on his face. He stopped talking sullenly.
”Calm down. It is not the final result,” Hao Ning saw and understood Long Fei's aggresiveness. Long Fei was so concerned about Yu Fei that he would never let his ashes stay in Pingjing alone. The most likely place, of course, was on the back hill of the Dragon King Temple. The peace of Yu Fei's ashes was probably the bottom line of Long Fei, so he said to Zhe, ”Although it's just a possibility, we are not sure. We should not let this happen. Especially the back mountain, it can't be moved.
