Chapter 718: The Culprit
An old Wu smiled bitterly: "When she was young, her father left the whole family and ran to become a monk. It's been more than 20 years...... In her eyes, the monk was the demon who destroyed her family and deprived her of her childhood and father's love. I haven't seen her treat the monk well......"
Officer Li was stunned, then shook his head and said, "It's also a poor person." ”
"Hmm......" Old Wu nodded.
At the same time, Fang Zheng also said to the red boy: "There is a lake in the middle, and there is nothing to see on the ground, go, go into the lake and have a look." ”
"Good. The red boy nodded, and just as he was about to make a move, he heard Bao Yuluo's shout.
The red boy said, "Master, the master of Bao Shi is not bad." ”
Fang Zheng smiled: "The poor monk didn't say that she couldn't do it, but she was too suspicious." ”
Red Boy nodded and said, "It's still a little poor." ”
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, slapped him and said: "You also said, you have eaten up all the money, you are embarrassed, you can go down, you can open your mouth!"
"Master, you're too quick to defect, aren't you? You praised me for doing things before, but now I'm going to beat a rake......" Red Boy said with a look of grievance.
"Okay, don't talk about it, go into the water!" After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he rushed into the largest lake in the middle with the red boy, but before entering, he took a deep breath, breathed through the dantian, and let out a loud roar: "Got it! Thank you for your concern!"
"Phew, who cares about you! I don't want to die, it's not good to go back!" Bao Yuluo spat into the distance and scolded with a smile.
Different from Bao Yuluo's thoughts, the other members of the scientific expedition team looked surprised and muttered: "This monk's voice is so loud!"
Wang Lao looked surprised, squinted his eyes into the distance, and muttered: "Good confidence, this monk, I'm afraid it's really not simple......"
At the same time, Fang Zheng had already picked up a large stone that had been touched out of the lake and plunged into the depths of the lake. The red boy floated on the edge of the square, with a unique flame in his hand, which would not be extinguished when it encountered water, but would illuminate the surroundings brightly, which was much better than any flashlight. Fang Zheng even began to wonder if the lights in the Yizhi Temple could also be replaced, which would save a lot of electricity.
The lake was far deeper than Fang Zheng imagined, and he thought that more than ten meters was the limit, but it sank more than 30 meters in one breath, and he had not yet seen the bottom! The bottom was dark and swarthy, like a bottomless abyss, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Master, do you want to continue?" asked the red boy, others couldn't talk in the water, but for the red boy, it was not a problem at all.
Fang Zheng nodded, and continued to dive with the red boy, forty meters!
Fifty meters!
One hundred meters!
One hundred and twenty meters!
"What the hell is this place?, why is it so deep?" Fang Zheng had a lot of doubts in his heart!
At this moment, something came up from below, dense, and it was unclear what it was, as if it was a group of small fish!
"What is it?" Fang Zheng looked down suspiciously, no matter what it was, even if it was a piranha, Fang Zheng was not afraid.
Red Boy also looked down solemnly, and the flame in his hand suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the underneath, and then Fang Zheng and Red Boy were dumbfounded!
I saw the light shine down, as if shining on countless crystals, refracted back, a piece of gold!
"This is?!" Fang Zheng and the red boy looked shocked!
On the shore and in the woods, a group of members of the scientific expedition team used the ropes in their hands to quickly build a simple tree house that everyone could climb and live in. It is said that it is a house, but in fact there is nothing, and it is surrounded by cloth to block the wind, and then the collected wood is used as a base, and finally a layer of warm grass is laid, and a sleeping bag is put on it, and it is done.
There was a big fire under the tree house, and the big fire was divided into several small fires, all the way to the direction of the lake, which was done by Wang Lao, and everyone didn't know what Wang Lao was going to do.
With a gust of autumn wind blowing, the sun is about to set, and the wind is cooler. Bao Yuluo subconsciously tightened her clothes, looking at the lake in the distance, she still didn't believe that there would be any evil spirit in such a beautiful lake. Just as Bao Yuluo was looking seriously, she suddenly noticed that fog began to appear on the lake! The fog was getting thicker and thicker......
Not only the lakes, but also the forests began to fog up, to be precise.
Wang Lao took a deep breath and muttered, "It's really fog." ”
"It's normal for the old forests in the mountains to be foggy. Sun Caifeng said.
Elder Wang nodded and said, "Ignite the fire!"
The people below hurriedly lit the piles of fires and quickly climbed up to the treehouse.
The fog is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually everything from a hundred meters away is not clear, but fortunately there is a fire below, which can illuminate a distance, as for the direction of the lake, then there is really nothing to see, only a white fog pressing on the surface of the lake, like a dormant beast.
Wang Lao silently took out a timer, and stared at the fire below with a pair of eyes. Sun Caifeng also seemed to think of something, took out his mobile phone, and was also ready to time.
A few minutes later, there was a sudden popping sound, which was not loud, but it could be faintly heard in this silent environment.
"What's the sound?" Officer Li looked warily in the direction of the lake.
"It was like the sound of water boiling. Officer Zhao said.
Gao Lao Wu said: "Could it be that the lake is boiling?"
"Could it be that the water monster of Changbai Mountain has come out?" someone whispered.
However, Wang Lao didn't speak from beginning to end, just looked at the fire below, and time passed minute by minute......
"The fire is out, something is coming!" Bao Yuluo suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the first pile of flames in front of him.
Everyone looked, and sure enough, the pile of flames was extinguished!
However, when the flames began to flicker and flicker, Wang Lao had already pressed the timer......
"The second pile of flames is about to be extinguished! That monster is afraid of fire! He's extinguishing the fire!" Gao Lao Wu shouted in fright, and many people's faces became solemn, and several young men even took out knives, ready to do it at any time.
Soon the second pile of flames was extinguished, the third, the fourth......
"The little flame is useless to him, I hope the biggest one can resist ......," Officer Zhao prayed in a low voice.
As a result, the largest flame suddenly went out, and then with a pop, the flames went out!
"It's over......" The thought arose in the hearts of many people.
At this moment, Wang Lao spoke: "Old Wu, you help me and let me go down with a rope." ”
"Teacher, what are you going to do?" asked a man with concern.
Wang Lao said: "Make the final judgment!"
"Elder Wang, there is an evil spirit down there, and it is very dangerous. Gao Lao Wu persuaded him.
"Alright, don't talk about it. I know what this is, slow down, as long as I find something wrong, I will let you pull me up. Wang Lao said with a smile.
"Elder Wang, why don't I go down. Bao Yuluo volunteered.
"You?" Wang Lao was stunned, but he didn't expect that at this time, his students didn't jump out, and this little policewoman actually stood up. Looking at Bao Yuluobei's teeth biting his thin lips, obviously a little scared, but still firm in his eyes, Wang Lao smiled with relief: "You are a good policeman and a good boy." But you can't help with this, there are some things you don't understand, you can't say clearly. If I haven't experienced it myself, it can easily affect my judgment. ”
"But, you?" Bao Yuluo was really worried about Elder Wang's body.
"I'd better go. Elder Wang, you are getting older. Sun Caifeng said suddenly.
"Huh?" Wang Lao looked at Sun Caifeng in surprise, Sun Caifeng's reputation in the circle of peers has always been not very good, even Wang Lao has heard of it. And along the way, Sun Caifeng is indeed a troublemaker, very picky about people and things, and sneering at every disagreement. It's just that I never expected that at this time, I would also stand up.
"Don't look at me, I'm here for work. Sun Caifeng frowned, his face was a little red, and then he lied with his neck.
Seeing this, Wang Lao immediately smiled: "Okay, Xiao Sun is out, I can rest assured." ”
It was the first time for Sun Caifeng to see Wang Lao smiling and talking to her so kindly, she was slightly stunned, and then turned her head to ask Lao Wu to help. A group of young men pulled the rope and put Sun Caifeng down, very slowly...... Above, Wang Lao commanded the whole process, and Sun Caifeng reported the feeling in real time, in order to make the touch clearer, Sun Caifeng took off his shoes and socks.
Seeing this, although Bao Yuluo couldn't get used to Sun Caifeng, he had to admire Sun Caifeng's professionalism and professionalism......
"The toes are a little cold, and the soles of the feet are cold......"
"Now, I'm okay. ”
"It's a little hard to breathe, cough cough cough ......"
"Pull it up!" Wang Lao suddenly spoke, and everyone hurriedly pulled Sun Caifeng up, and for a moment, Sun Caifeng was like a drowning person, opening his mouth wide and trying to breathe but as if he couldn't suck anything up. But after reaching a certain height, it was like a person coming out of the water, and he took a big breath, and then coughed violently.
On the top of the tree, Sun Caifeng was a little frightened, and his cough was not good, so he hurriedly said: "Dioxide...... Carbonized cough cough cough ......"
Wang Lao nodded and said: "This gas can silently extinguish the flames, and it can also suffocate people and animals, flow against the ground, and it feels cold to the touch, and it is really carbon dioxide." ”
"Teacher, is this evil energy carbon dioxide?" asked one of the students in surprise.
"Well, originally I just guessed, but after entering the forest, I observed all the way, and there were traces of carbon dioxide in many places, which confirmed my speculation more and more. Just now, Xiao Sun went down to experience it, and it completely confirmed my guess. Wang Lao said.
"Elder Wang, how can there be carbon dioxide here? and such a large-scale eruption?" Bao Yuluo said.
Wang Lao looked solemnly at the lake in the distance and said, "I suspect that this carbon dioxide comes from the lake. ”
"No way! There's carbon dioxide in the lake? If there were, carbon dioxide is a gas, so light, it's floating up a long time ago. One man shook his head and continued: "Although, wherever there is a lake, carbon dioxide is produced at the bottom. However, with the lake's own hot and cold cycle, as well as the flow of lake water, carbon dioxide is often released into the atmosphere while it is produced, and after dilution, there is no harm to humans and animals. But such a large-scale release of carbon dioxide is obviously unreasonable. ”
Sun Caifeng said: "There is nothing impossible, there are several such lakes in the world. It's just that I didn't expect that there was also a ...... in my country Now that I think about it, the terrain and landform in front of me really make it possible for such a murderous lake to exist. ”
Wang Lao said: "It's too early to draw conclusions, when the day dawns and the carbon dioxide is dispersed, let's go and find out." ”
"It's fine. Sun Caifeng nodded.
At the same time, Fang Zheng and Red Boy had already reached the bottom of the lake, but until the bottom of the lake, Fang Zheng did not see anything that could produce gas, but there were many strange black stones at the bottom of the lake, as if something had been melted and cooled down......
"Master, this is a volcanic trace. There used to be volcanic fissures here. "Red Boy may not understand science, but he is very sensitive to fire.
Fang Zheng nodded to show that he understood, and then continued to look for the source of those bubbles at the bottom of the lake with Red Boy, but little by little they looked for it, but there was still nothing, Fang Zheng wondered, where did this gas come from? Unconsciously, Fang Zheng and Red Boy walked at the bottom of the lake with their feet all night, almost touching inch by inch.
"Master, are you still looking for it? I now know more about the bottom of the lake than I know about my body. That's all for here......" Red Boy said.
Fang Zheng thought about it and said: "Look for it again, if you don't find the reason, you won't be willing to be a teacher!"
The red boy had no choice but to continue to accompany him.
Before that, it was dawn outside, and the members of the scientific expedition team tentatively fell from the trees little by little, and sure enough, the carbon dioxide had dispersed and was fine. So everyone came down one after another......
"Hurry up and rush to the lake immediately, we still have a lot of people to experiment with. Elder Wang urged.
After last night's commotion, everyone was very convinced of Wang Lao, even Officer Li, Officer Zhao, and Gao Lao Wu patted their heads and muttered: "It turns out that Abbot Fangzheng really didn't ward off evil spirits, but we were standing tall at that time......"
"I've told you a long time ago, all prayers and practices are nonsense! There is no scientific basis! You didn't believe it before, but now you believe it, right?" Bao Yuluo hugged her arms and hummed, now she was a little looking forward to seeing Fang Zheng. With the scientific basis and the puzzle solved, she wanted to see what else this monk's Dharma could do! Thinking of Fang Zheng's confession, Bao Yuluo was a little proud, but he still snorted twice: "I hope you don't mess around for money." Otherwise, I will expose you and will not tolerate you...... Well, for the sake of you saving me, I can remind you. ”
Over there, Sun Caifeng shook his head and said, "If you have time to believe in a monk, you might as well read a few more books." ”
Gao Lao Wu said: "It seems that Abbot Fangzheng never said that he could exorcise evil spirits, and he has always said that this is not evil spirits......
As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned.
Officer Li said: "It seems that this is the case. We asked him to exorcise evil spirits, and when we suppressed evil spirits, he always smiled and shook his head. ”
Officer Zhao also nodded.
"Alright, don't mention the monk. Let's get to work. Sun Caifeng waved his hand and took everyone away.
On the contrary, Wang Lao turned around and said: "Before taking refuge yesterday, I asked Xiao Zhou to climb the heights to see, there was no figure in the central lake area, so he should be hiding." ”
