Lao Wu smiled bitterly and said: "When she was young, her father abandoned the whole family and ran away to become a monk. He left for more than 20 years... In her eyes, the monk destroyed her family and deprived her of her childhood and father.
The devil of love. I have never seen her treat the monk easily..."
Officer Li was stunned, then shook his head and said, "He is also a poor man."
"Hmm..." Old Wu nodded.
At the same time, Fang Zheng also said to Red Boy: "There is a lake in the middle, and there is nothing to see on the ground. Let's go and go into the lake to have a look."
"Okay." Honghai'er nodded, and just as he was about to make a move, he heard Bao Yuluo's shout.
Honghai'er said: "Master, it's not bad for the master to give alms."
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "The poor monk didn't say that she was not good, but she was just too suspicious."
Hong Boy nodded and said, "I'm still a little poor."
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, gave him a slap and said, "Are you saying that you've eaten up all my money? You have the nerve to do so and open your mouth!"
"Master, are you too quick to change sides? You praised me for my ability to do things before, but now you're going to beat me up..." Hong Hai'er said with an aggrieved look on his face.
"Okay, stop talking and get into the water!" After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he rushed into the largest lake in the middle with Hong Boy. However, before entering, he took a deep breath, filled his Dantian with energy, and let out a loud roar: "I got it.
!Thank you very much, Donor Bao, for your concern!”
"Bah! Who cares about you! I don't want to die and have trouble doing business when I go back!" Bao Yuluo spat into the distance and cursed with a smile.
Different from Bao Yuluo's idea, other members of the scientific expedition team looked surprised and muttered: "This monk has such a loud voice!"
Mr. Wang had a look of surprise on his face, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, muttering: "You have so much confidence, I'm afraid this monk is really not simple..."
At the same time, Fang Zheng had already picked up a big stone taken out of the lake and plunged it into the depths of the lake. Red Boy floated beside Fang Zheng, with a unique flame in his hand that would not be extinguished when it encountered water.
, instead it illuminates the surrounding area brightly, which is much easier to use than any flashlight. Fang Zheng even began to wonder if the lights in Yizhi Temple can also be replaced, which can save a lot of electricity.
The lake was far deeper than Fang Zheng had imagined. He thought that more than ten meters would be the limit, but it sank more than thirty meters in one breath without reaching the bottom! It was so dark below, like a bottomless abyss, that nothing could be seen clearly.
"Master, please continue?" Honghai'er asked. Others can't talk in the water, but for Honghai'er, it's not a problem at all.
Fangzheng nodded and continued diving with Honghai'er, 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 was filled with doubts!
Just then, something came up from below. It was so densely packed that I couldn’t see exactly what it was. It seemed like a group of small fish!
"What?" Fang Zheng looked down in confusion. No matter what it was, even if it was a piranha, Fang Zheng was not afraid.
Hong Hai'er also looked down solemnly. The flame in his hand suddenly shined brightly, illuminating the bottom. Then Fang Zheng and Hong Hai'er were dumbfounded!
I saw the light shining down, as if shining on countless crystals, refracted back, and it was golden!
"This is?!" Fang Zheng and Hong Hai'er looked shocked!
On the shore, 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 allowed everyone to climb up and live in it. Although it was said to be a house, it actually had nothing. It was surrounded by cloth to block the wind, and then
Use the collected wood to make the base, and finally spread a layer of warm grass, put a sleeping bag on it, and you're done.
A big fire was built under the tree house. The fire was divided into several small fires, extending all the way to the lake. This was done by Mr. Wang, and no one knew what Mr. Wang was going to do.
As a gust of autumn wind blew, the sun was about to set and the wind became colder. Bao Yuluo subconsciously tightened her clothes and looked at the lake in the distance. Even now, she still doesn't believe that there is any evil in such a beautiful lake. Just in time.
Bao Yuluo was looking at it seriously. Suddenly, she discovered that fog began to appear on the lake! The fog became thicker and thicker...
To be precise, it's not just the lakes, but also the forests that are getting foggy.
Mr. Wang took a deep breath and muttered: "It's really fog."
"It's normal for fog to occur in deep mountains and old forests." Sun Caifeng said.
Mr. Wang nodded and said: "Light the fire!"
The people below quickly lit piles of fires and quickly climbed up to the tree house.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and gradually it is difficult to see anything hundreds of meters away. Fortunately, there is a fire below, which can illuminate a certain distance. As for the direction of the lake, you really can't see anything, you can only see
A vast white mist pressed on the lake, like a dormant giant beast.
Mr. Wang silently took out a timer and stared at the fire below. Sun Caifeng seemed to have thought of something and took out her mobile phone, also preparing to time the time.
A few minutes later, a popping sound suddenly came. It was not loud, but in this silent environment, it could be vaguely heard.
"What's the sound?" Officer Li looked warily in the direction of the lake.
"It sounded like water boiling," Officer Zhao said.
Gao Laowu asked: "Is the lake boiling?"
"Could it be that the water monster from Changbai Mountain came out?" someone whispered.
However, Mr. Wang didn't speak from the beginning to the end, he just looked at the fire below, and the time passed by...
"The fire is out! Something is coming!" Bao Yuluo suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the first pile of flames ahead.
Everyone looked, and sure enough, the pile of flames was extinguished!
However, when the flames began to flicker, Mr. Wang had already pressed the timer...
"The second pile of flames is about to go out! That monster is afraid of fire! He is putting out the fire!" Gao Laowu shouted in fright. Many people's faces became solemn, and a few young men even took out knives.
Always ready to take action.
Soon the second pile of flames went out, the third pile, the fourth pile...
"The small flames are useless against him. I hope the largest pile can resist..." Officer Zhao prayed in a low voice.
As a result, the largest flame suddenly flickered on and off, and then with a pop, the raging flames went out!
"It's over..." This thought came to many people's minds.
At this moment, Mr. Wang said: "Old Wu, please help me and let me down with a rope."
"Teacher, what do you want to do?" a man asked with concern.
Wang Laodao: "Make the final judgment!"
"Mr. Wang, there is evil below and it is very dangerous." Gao Laowu advised.
"Okay, don't say anything. I know what this is, slow down. If I find something is wrong, you will pull me up." Mr. Wang said with a smile.
"Mr. Wang, how about I go down?" Bao Yuluo volunteered.
"You?" Mr. Wang was stunned. Unexpectedly, at this time, his students did not jump out, but the little policewoman actually stood up. Looking at Bao Yuluo biting her thin lips, she was obviously a little scared, but still
With firm eyes, Mr. Wang smiled happily: "You are a good policeman and a good boy. But you can't help with this matter. There are some things you don't understand and can't explain clearly. If you haven't experienced it personally, you can easily be affected.
My judgment.”
"But, you?" Bao Yuluo was really worried about Mr. Wang's health.
"I'd better go. Mr. Wang, you are old." Sun Caifeng suddenly said.
"Huh?" Mr. Wang looked at Sun Caifeng in surprise. Sun Caifeng's reputation in the circle of peers has never been very good. Even Mr. Wang had heard about it. And along the way, Sun Caifeng was indeed a troublemaker and was very picky about people and things.
, he would make sarcastic remarks whenever he disagreed. But he never expected that at this time, he would also stand up.
"Don't look at me, I'm doing this for work." Sun Caifeng frowned, her face turned a little red, and she lied while holding her neck.
When Mr. Wang saw this, he immediately smiled: "Okay, I'll rest assured that Xiao Sun will take action."
This was the first time that Sun Caifeng saw Mr. Wang smiling and talking to her so kindly. She was slightly startled, then turned her head and asked Lao Wu for help. A group of young men pulled the rope and lowered Sun Caifeng, very slowly... Above, Wang
Lao directed the whole process, while Sun Caifeng reported the feeling in real time. In order to feel the touch more clearly, Sun Caifeng took off her shoes and socks.
Seeing this, although Bao Yuluo couldn't stand Sun Caifeng, he had to admire Sun Caifeng's professionalism and professionalism...
"The toes are a little cold, the soles of the feet are cold..."
"Come on, I'm okay."
"It's a little difficult to breathe, cough, cough, cough..."
"Pull up!" Mr. Wang suddenly said, and everyone hurriedly pulled Sun Caifeng up. For a moment, Sun Caifeng was like a drowning person, opening her mouth wide and trying to breathe, but it seemed that nothing could be sucked up. But after rising to a certain height, she again
Just like a person coming out of water, he let out a loud sigh, took a big breath, and then coughed violently.
After climbing to the top of the tree, Sun Caifeng was a little shaken, and before her cough healed, she hurriedly said: "Dioxide... carbon dioxide cough cough cough..."
Mr. Wang nodded and said: "This gas can extinguish flames silently, and can also suffocate humans and animals. It flows against the ground and feels cold to the touch. It is indeed carbon dioxide."
"Teacher, the evil spirit down here is carbon dioxide?" a student asked in surprise.
"Well, originally I was just guessing. After entering the forest, I walked all the way and observed that there are traces of carbon dioxide in many places, which further confirmed my guess. My grandson just went down to experience it, and it was completely confirmed.
My guess." Wang Lao said.
"Mr. Wang, how come there is carbon dioxide here? Such a large-scale explosion?" Bao Yuluo said.
Mr. Wang looked solemnly at the lake in the distance and said, "I suspect that this carbon dioxide comes from the lake."
"Impossible! Is there carbon dioxide in the lake? If there was, carbon dioxide is a gas, so light, it would have floated up long ago." A man shook his head and continued: "Although, in all lakes, carbon dioxide will be produced at the bottom. But as the lake
Due to its own heat and cold cycle and the flow of lake water, carbon dioxide is often produced and released into the atmosphere. After dilution, it does not cause any harm to humans and animals. But such a large-scale release of carbon dioxide is obviously not consistent with common sense."
Sun Caifeng said: "It's not impossible. There are several lakes like this all over the world. But I didn't expect that there is one in our country... Now think about it, with the terrain and landforms in front of us, it is really possible that there is such a murderous lake.
.”
Wang Laodao: "It's too early to draw conclusions now. Let's wait until daybreak and the carbon dioxide dissipates to find out."
"That's fine." Sun Caifeng nodded.
At the same time, Fang Zheng and Hong Hai'er had already gotten to the bottom of the lake, but until they reached the bottom of the lake, Fang Zheng didn't see anything that could produce gas. Instead, there were many strange dark stones at the bottom of the lake, as if something had been melted and then cooled.
As if...
"Master, this is a trace of a volcano. There used to be volcanic cracks here." Hong Boy may not understand science, but he is very sensitive to flames.
Fang Zheng nodded to express his understanding, and then he and Hong Haier continued to search for the source of those bubbles at the bottom of the lake. As a result, they searched little by little, but still found nothing. Fang Zheng was very confused, where did this gas come from? Unknowingly, Fang Zheng and
Red Boy walked on the bottom of the lake with his feet all night, touching it almost inch by inch.
"Master, are you still looking for it? Now I know the bottom of the lake better than my own body. That's all it is here..." Hong Hai'er said.
Fang Zheng thought for a while and then said: "If I keep searching, if I don't find the reason, I won't be willing to be my teacher!"
Honghaier had no choice but to continue to accompany him.
Before that, it was dawn outside, and the members of the scientific expedition team tentatively dropped down from the trees. Sure enough, the carbon dioxide had dispersed and everything was fine. So everyone came down one after another...
"Hurry up and rush to the lake immediately. We still have many people to do experiments." Mr. Wang urged.
After the fuss last night, everyone was very convinced of Mr. Wang. Even Officer Li, Officer Zhao, and Gao Laowu all patted their heads and muttered: "It turns out that Abbot Fangzheng really didn't ward off evil spirits, but we were standing high at that time...
…”
"I've told you a long time ago that praying for blessings and performing rituals are all nonsense! There is no scientific basis! You didn't believe it before, but do you believe it now?" Bao Yuluo hugged her arms and hummed. Now she was looking forward to seeing Fang Zheng.
Now. The scientific basis is there and the mystery is solved. She wants to take a look.
How else should this monk perform the ritual? Thinking of Fang Zheng admitting his mistake, Bao Yuluo was quite proud, but he still snorted: "I hope you won't do anything for money. Otherwise, I will expose you and I will never tolerate it."
...Well, since you saved me, I can remind you."
Sun Caifeng over there shook his head and said: "You have time to believe in a monk, why not read more books."
Gao Laowu said: "It seems that Abbot Fangzheng has never said that he can exorcise evil spirits, and he has always said that this is not evil..."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned.
Officer Li said: "It seems to be like this. When we asked him to exorcise evil spirits, he always smiled and shook his head."
Officer Zhao also nodded.
"Okay, forget about that monk. Let's get to work quickly." Sun Caifeng waved her hand and led everyone away.
On the contrary, Mr. Wang turned around and said: "Before taking refuge yesterday, I asked Xiao Zhou to climb up and take a look. There was no one in the central lake area. They must be hiding."
