Python?

"Rumor has it that a group of soldiers came and shot at them, and the python was unharmed. Later, it was the world government that sent the masters - rumors also said that these masters were specially trained by the government, specializing in practicing yin and yang and the five elements of gossip and the like, specifically used to deal with ghosts and demons, each of them had great skills, and the masters sent to do so, so that this giant python that had become a fine and was about to turn into a dragon was subdued, and then it was taken away for special research.

Some people say that this giant python was the patron saint of Blue Lake City before his death, and with it in town, there are no goblins and ghosts in Blue Lake City. Now that it has been submitted, Blue Lake City will not be able to live in peace in the future.

It is also rumored that this giant python knew that it could not escape capture, and before being caught, he put his spirit into Blue Lake City, and whoever got it could inherit the mana of the giant python......

He Wei said, looking a little strange. When she finished speaking, Lu Qingliang touched her head and said suspiciously, "The master sent by the world government here can't be us, right?"

Of course, Lu Ming knew that there was no so-called world government specially cultivated in the world, cultivating the Five Elements Bagua, and specializing in suppressing demons and subduing demons. But departments with similar functions do exist. That's the Operations Division of the Planetary Security Agency.

If you really want to count it, I'm afraid that these people are the most suitable for those who are rumored to be the most suitable.

"Looks like it's us."

He Wei spread his hands: "You can go and ask if other teams have really caught a giant python here."

"This kind of thing can't reach the level of our operations."

Zhang Dingshan directly denied this statement: "But this matter can also be verified. The road was built more than ten years ago, right? In the mountains south of Blue Lake City. Check what roads have been built in those years, find out the construction team, and investigate whether there is really a giant python."

"Yes."

"The third thing is related to the Zhoujia archway on Nanlin Street, and it is also related to Wang Quan himself.

More than ten years ago, when the archway of Zhoujia on Nanlin Street was not demolished, people passing by here could often see a fool sitting by the archway, and from time to time he was talking to himself, as if he was talking to someone. Someone went up and asked the fool, and the fool said that there was a fairy living in the archway, and he was talking to the fairy.

The man asked the fool what the fairy had said. The fool said that the weather is bad this year, and the price of coriander will rise.

The man didn't take it seriously and just left.

According to investigation, this fool is Wang Quan. At that time, there were many people who made fun of Wang Quan and found fun, and this Wang Quan might not be able to say something, and no one took it seriously.

But there were some unusual changes in the weather that year, and the coriander planting around Blue Lake City failed to harvest, causing the price of coriander to rise sharply, more than six times. It wasn't until the coriander in the surrounding area was mobilized on a large scale that the price slowly fell.

The man remembered the incident and told others, and the news slowly spread. There are old people on Nanlin Street who talk about the Zhou family archway, and talk about the beginning and end of the construction of the Zhou family archway hundreds of years ago, and there are gradually rumors that the Zhou family archway exists in the supernatural rumors.

This also led to the local government's demolition of the Zhoujia archway, which was opposed by some local residents. In addition, the demolition of the archway of the Zhou family has a temporal relationship with Wang Quan's acquisition of this ability, and the interval is not far away. Therefore, I think this matter is worth verifying."

The archway of the Zhou family is indeed a noteworthy point. It could even be said that it was the beginning of this event.

It was precisely because of the demolition of the Zhou family's archway and the death of Wu Biao that Zhou Mingsheng was invited to see Feng Shui.

Zhou Mingsheng left a way to place a gossip mirror to ward off evil spirits, and formed a custom. This custom was discovered by his own side, and there was a follow-up investigation.

Lu Ming thought about it seriously.

He already knows about the beginning and end of the Zhou family archway.

It was created hundreds of years ago by the Zhou family in order to suppress the unjust souls and pray for evil spirits. This is clearly documented in folklore and historical sources. Locals also have rumors that once the Zhou family archway is demolished, there will be unjust spirits coming out to haunt them.

Soon after, Wang Quan mastered this ability.

Don't...... What is the connection between these two things?

"You can look into it."

At this moment, the second team of operations will not let go of any clues. This wide-netting approach is extremely resource- and time-consuming, but it is the only option available to Team 2 at this time.

Once these three things have been identified, the relevant verification work will begin immediately.

It didn't take long for the results of the verification of the first and second events to be presented on the conference table, and the four members of the second operation team were seen.

He Wei, who was in charge of the first thing verification, said a little boringly: "The goddess is still alive, and as soon as the security officer comes to the door, she will tell her all about it. That's right, it's the same as Lu Ming, you guessed.

This old woman's concept is quite advanced, and she knew about creating public opinion more than ten years ago. The only pity is that something went wrong, and the fox was so frightened that he ran away. Otherwise, the old woman would be a figure."

The suspicion of this matter was ruled out.

Zhang Dingshan, who was in charge of investigating the second matter, said solemnly: "The Monty Python incident has been investigated. During the construction of the GA1 highway, a giant python was indeed found while digging a tunnel. However, the python is not so big at all, it is only five or six meters long, and it is about 20 centimeters thick.

Moreover, this python was already blown up when it was found. The higher-ups did send someone, but the person who sent it was from the Reptile Research Institute. Because of the climate and environment here, this breed of python is rare, and it is even more rare to be able to grow so big, so they are willing to come.

They took the python's carcass and made it into a specimen."

Zhang Dingshan showed a photo. In the photo is the bones of a python from Bai Sensen.

"According to investigation, most of the construction team at that time was made up of locals from Blue Lake City. After the construction team was disbanded, these people returned to the Blue Lagoon and brought the Monty Python incident back. The follow-up should have been processed by rumors and the conjectures of the communicators, and it became what it is now."

Although he had long thought that these two things were unreliable, and now that the truth was ascertained, Lu Ming still had to sigh at the outrageous rumors.

"Zhou's archway incident, how did you investigate?"

The three of them looked at Lu Ming at the same time.

After those two things were ruled out, the Zhoujia archway incident became the only direction of investigation at present.

Lu Ming said seriously: "First of all, the coriander incident. At present, it has been found that there was indeed a period of time more than ten years ago, because of the abnormal rain and snow weather that led to the failure of the surrounding coriander harvest, and there was a shortage of coriander supply and a skyrocketing price in Blue Lake City. From this point of view, Wang Quan's "prophecy" has indeed come true.

However, the meteorological data showed that the abnormal weather that occurred that year was fully scientifically explained. I don't know the specific reason, but it is related to the special climate of the Blue Lagoon and the mountains to the south.

[In view of the general environment,

And, in this case, the coriander harvest failure was not so severe, and it would not have pushed the price so high. It was caused by some people who took advantage of this to engage in the accumulation of prodigies."

He Wei interjected, "At the beginning, those suicides were considered normal."

Lu Ming nodded: "There is indeed a possibility that it seems normal, but it is actually abnormal. However, I also found that Wang Quan did not make more prophecies than this one during those years.

Under the circumstance that the surrounding residents generally took pleasure in making fun of Wang Quan, Wang Quan once made a large number of predictions. After the coriander incident, there were people who specially teased Wang Quan to make a new prediction, but all these predictions did not come true.

Only one coriander incident came true. So, I think, it's just a coincidence."

If this is the case, then it can only be considered a coincidence. In this regard, Zhang Dingshan and the three of them agreed.

Lu Ming's words changed: "However, there are indeed a lot of rumors about the Zhou family's archway. Some people claim to have heard the faint cry of a woman when passing by the Zhou family archway at night, but they listened carefully but there was no more. Some people claim to have seen children in old-fashioned clothes in the archway of the Zhou family, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye. There are also people who claim to be in the Zhou family card

Fang saw women in old-fashioned clothes, blah blah blah, there were many. But these ...... It shouldn't be worth investigating."

The original intention of the construction of the Zhou family archway was that the original Zhou family was to suppress the soul. And it has a certain history, and it can barely be said to be an antiquity.

Usually, this kind of thing is accompanied by rumors. This is not unusual.

If you look for a city or a building of a certain age in the city, there must be a lot of rumors. Even, there are so many schools around the world, primary, junior high, high school, and university, I am afraid that there are no less than hundreds of thousands or millions.

Which school has no rumors?

"Later, I turned to investigating whether there were any unusual events at the time of the demolition and afterward. The conclusion is that there is no such thing as either.

At the beginning, it was a construction team that undertook the project from the government. I found the leader of the team - he explained everything about the gift in the first place, and he didn't even think about what strange things had happened. I think his testimony is credible.

and after the torii was demolished.

After the torii was demolished, except for those who were cursed to death by Wang Quan, there was no strange thing happening. In fact, after the torii was demolished, even the previous rumors gradually disappeared, and no one mentioned them anymore."

This is in line with the law of rumors.

There is the memorial arch in kind, people mention, tell the frequency of those rumors is high, these rumors spread quickly, and the spread is fast, the probability of being reprocessed will also increase.

Now that the torii is gone, people will gradually forget about it, and the probability of remembering it and mentioning it in daily life is getting lower and lower, and finally no one mentions it at all.

Judging from Lu Ming's investigation results, it seems that the suspicion of the Zhou family archway can also be ruled out.

Wang Quan's acquisition of this ability should have nothing to do with it.

It took a lot of manpower and material resources to finally screen out the three suspected incidents, and all the suspects have been eliminated so far.

Zhang Dingshan's brows furrowed slightly.

Once again, the direction of the investigation of this eucalyptus has been lost.

He Wei thought about it seriously and said, "I feel that the suspicion of the Zhou family's archway cannot be ruled out. In any case, it has a lot of interaction with Wang Quan, and there is a time sequence that is too close to the demolition of the archway and Wang Quan's acquisition of this ability. I think it is necessary to investigate it in more detail."

Lu Ming said, "How to check?"

"Dig it out again!"

He Wei said viciously: "The way Blue Lake disposes of construction waste is usually landfill. The ruins after the demolition of the Zhoujia archway should have also been transported away and landfilled. Find out which dump it is, and dig it out."

Lu Ming thought about it and agreed to this proposal.

At this stage, there is really no direction for investigation, so it is better to dig deeper along this clue.

It is not difficult to find out where the remains of the Zhou family archway are buried. We have a clear demolition time, and we can find out immediately if we use this time to check the designated landfill site of the construction waste in Blue Lake City.

The next day, the three of them arrived at a wasteland on the outskirts of Blue Lake City.

The wasteland is overgrown with weeds, the courtyard walls have collapsed, and the few houses that are left behind have long since been abandoned and used as a habitat for wildlife.

Several government workers flipped through the records, measured and calculated on the spot. After that, a range was drawn.

"In terms of time, the landfill site of the Zhoujia archway is here. If you dig no more than 20 meters, you will definitely find it."

"Then let's start digging."

Several excavators immediately started working. After digging through the soil layer, a lot of rubble and broken bricks were exposed.

Several specially invited experts in ancient architecture were there to carefully discern them.

The excavation of the abandoned landfill lasted two days and two nights. By this time, it had become a big hole. The excavated dirt and garbage were piled up on the side.

While inspecting a pile of newly unearthed garbage, an expert in ancient architecture reached out and gestured. Immediately, his colleagues and Zhang Dingshan all walked over.

He held an irregular gray-white stone in his hand and gestured to the crowd.

"This should be one of the wreckage of the Zhou family's archway. It is carved from stone, you see this carving technique, it is obviously hand-carved, and the hardness of the carving tools is insufficient, the smelting conditions are not up to standard, and its technical level coincides with the age of the construction of the Zhou family archway."

"Thank you for your hard work. Now, please find all the wreckage and restore it according to the previous pattern."

"Okay."

Several ancient building experts worked together to find all the stones belonging to the Zhou family archway from the garbage heap. Then try to put them together according to the pattern, shape, etc.

In the end, in the courtyard of the military forbidden area where Wang Quan was imprisoned, the height was more than thirteen meters, the width was ten meters, and it was composed of four pillars in total, the diameter of the large pillar was more than 1 meter, and the diameter of the small pillar was half a meter.

Looking at this archway, Lu Ming seemed to see the scene when it stood at the intersection of Nanlin Street, and Wang Quan lingered around it all day long.
