Chapter 719: The Culprit

Old Wu smiled bitterly and said: "When she was young, his father left the whole family to become a monk and became a monk. It has been more than 20 years since he left... In her eyes, the monk destroyed her family and deprived her of her childhood and her father. The devil of love. I've never seen her treat a monk better..."

Officer Li was stunned, then shook his head and said, "He's also a poor man."

"Hmm..." Old Wu nodded.

At the same time, Fangzheng also said to Honghaier: "There are lakes in the middle, and there is nothing to see on the ground. Let's go, go into the lake and have a look."

"Okay." Hong Haier nodded, and just about to make a move, he heard Bao Yuluo's voice.

Hong Hai'er said: "Master, Master Bao Shi is not bad."

Fangzheng smiled and said, "The poor monk didn't say that she is not good enough, but she is too suspicious."

Hong Haier nodded and said, "I'm still a little poor."

Fangzheng rolled his eyes, slapped him, and said, "Still talking? You've eaten up all the money. You're too embarrassed. You can move your hands and open your mouth!"

"Master, you turned your back on me too quickly, right? Before, you praised me for my ability to handle affairs, but now you're going to beat me up..." Red Boy said with an aggrieved expression on his face.

"Okay, stop talking, go into the water!" After Fangzheng finished speaking, he rushed into the largest lake in the middle with Honghaier, but before entering, he took a deep breath, breathed through his dantian, and let out a loud roar: "Got it! Thank you Bao benefactor for your concern!"

"Bah! Who cares about you anymore! I don't want to die, and it's not easy to do business when I go back!" Bao Yuluo spat into the distance and scolded with a smile.

Different from Bao Yuluo's idea, the other members of the scientific expedition team looked surprised and muttered: "This monk has such a loud voice!"

On the other hand, Elder Wang looked surprised, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and muttered, "I'm so confident, this monk, I'm afraid it's really not easy..."

At the same time, Fangzheng had picked up a large rock that he had taken out of the lake, and plunged into the depths of the lake. The red boy floated beside Fangzheng, with a unique flame in his hand, which wouldn't go out when exposed to water, but illuminated the surrounding area brightly, which was much easier to use than any flashlight. Fangzheng even began to wonder whether the lights in One Finger Temple could be replaced, which would save a lot of electricity.

The lake was far deeper than Fangzheng had imagined. He thought that a dozen meters was the limit, but it sank more than 30 meters in one breath, and he still hadn't bottomed out! It was dark below, like a bottomless abyss, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Master, do you want to continue?" Honghaier asked, others can't talk in the water, but for Honghaier, it's not a problem at all.

Fangzheng nodded, and continued to dive with Honghaier, forty meters!

Fifty meters!

One hundred meters!

One hundred and twenty meters!

"What the hell is this place? Why is it so deep?" Fangzheng was full of doubts!

At this moment, something came up from below, densely packed, the specifics were not clear, it seemed to be a group of small fish!

"What?" Fangzheng looked down suspiciously, no matter what it was, even if it was a piranha, Fangzheng was not afraid.

Hong Hai'er also looked down solemnly, the flame in his hand suddenly blazed brightly, illuminating the below, then Fangzheng and Hong Hai'er were dumbfounded!

I saw the light shining down, as if shining on countless crystals, and refracted back, it was golden!

"This is?!" Fangzheng and Honghaier 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 for everyone to live in. It is said to be a house, but in fact there is nothing there. Cloth is used to block the wind around it, and then the collected wood is used as a base. Finally, a layer of warm grass is laid, and sleeping bags are placed, and the work is over.

A big fire was set up under the tree house, and the big fire was divided into several small fires, extending all the way to the lake. This is what Wang Laorang did, and everyone didn't know what Wang Lao wanted to do.

With a gust of autumn wind blowing, the sun is about to set and the wind is getting cooler. Bao Yuluo subconsciously tightened her clothes and looked at the lake in the distance. She still doesn't believe that there is any evil spirit in such a beautiful lake. Just as Bao Yuluo was watching seriously, suddenly, she found that fog began to appear on the lake! The fog is getting thicker...

To be precise, not only the lake, but also the forest began to fog up.

Elder Wang took a deep breath and muttered, "It's really fog."

"It's normal for fog to form in the deep mountains and old forests," Sun Caifeng said.

Elder Wang nodded and said, "Light it up!"

The people below quickly lit a bunch of fires, and then quickly climbed up the tree house.

The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and gradually you can't see anything more than 100 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 white mist presses on the lake, like a dormant monster.

Elder Wang silently took out a timer, his eyes fixed on the fire below. Sun Caifeng also seemed to have thought of something, took out her mobile phone, and prepared to time the time.

A few minutes later, there was a popping sound, which was not loud, but it could be vaguely heard in this silent environment.

"What's the sound?" Officer Li looked in the direction of the lake vigilantly.

"It sounds like water is boiling." Officer Zhao said.

Gao Laowu said: "Could it be that the lake is 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, just looking at the fire below, and the time passed by every minute...

"The fire is out! Something is coming!" Bao Yuluo suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the first pile of flames in front of him.

Everyone looked, sure enough, the pile of flames went out!

However, when the flames began to flicker, Mr. Wang had already pressed the timer...

"The second pile of flames is going to be extinguished! That monster is afraid of fire! He is extinguishing the fire!" Gao Lao Wu shouted in fright. Be hands-on anytime.

Soon the second pile of flames went out, the third pile, the fourth pile...

"Small flames are useless to him, I hope the biggest pile can resist..." Officer Zhao prayed in a low voice.

As a result, the biggest flame suddenly flickered on and off, and then with a pop, the raging flame went out!

"It's over..." Many people had this thought in their hearts.

At this moment, Wang Lao said: "Old Wu, help me and let me down with a rope."

"Teacher, what are you doing?" A man asked with concern.

Wang Laodao: "Make the final judgment!"

"Old Wang, there's evil spirits down here, it's very dangerous." Gao Laowu persuaded.

"Okay, don't talk about it. I know what this is, so let it go slowly. If I find something wrong, I will let you pull me up." Wang Lao said with a smile.

"Old Wang, why don't I go down." Bao Yuluo volunteered.

"You?" Elder Wang was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect that at this time, his students didn't jump out, but this little policewoman actually stood up. Seeing Bao Yuluo's teeth biting his thin lips, and his eyes clearly a little scared but still determined, Mr. Wang smiled gratifiedly: "You are a good policeman and a good boy. But you can't help me with this matter. There are some things you don’t understand and can’t explain clearly. If you haven’t experienced it yourself, it’s easy to affect my judgment.”

"But, you?" Bao Yuluo was really worried about Elder Wang's health.

"Let me go. Mr. Wang, you are getting old." Sun Caifeng said suddenly.

"Huh?" Elder Wang looked at Sun Caifeng in surprise. Sun Caifeng's reputation in the circle of colleagues has never been very good, even Mr. Wang has heard of it. And along the way, Sun Caifeng is indeed troublesome, very picky about people and things, and ridiculed when there is disagreement. It's just that he never expected that at this time, he also stood up.

"Don't look at me, I'm here for work." Sun Caifeng frowned, blushed a little, and lied with her neck stuck.

Seeing this, Mr. Wang smiled immediately: "Okay, Xiao Sun will go out, I don't worry."

It was the first time for Sun Caifeng to see Mr. Wang smiling and talking to her so kindly. She was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to ask Old Wu for help. A group of young men pulled Sun Caifeng down with a rope, and the speed was very slow... Above, Wang Lao commanded the whole process, and Sun Caifeng reported the feeling in real time. In order to have a clearer touch, Sun Caifeng took off her shoes and socks.

Seeing this, although Bao Yuluo couldn't understand Sun Caifeng, she had to admire Sun Caifeng's dedication and professionalism...

"The toes are a bit cold, the soles of the feet are cold..."

"Next, I'm fine."

"It's a little hard to breathe, cough cough cough..."

"Pull it up!" Elder Wang said suddenly, and everyone quickly pulled Sun Caifeng up. For a moment, Sun Caifeng was like a drowning person, opening her mouth wide to breathe hard, but it seemed like she couldn't suck anything up. But after rising to a certain height, it was like a person coming out of the water. With a loud sound, he took a big breath, and then coughed violently.

On the top of the tree, Sun Caifeng was in a state of shock, and her cough hadn't healed yet, so she hurriedly said: "Oxygen... carbon dioxide, cough, cough..."

Elder Wang nodded and said, "This gas can extinguish flames silently, and can also suffocate people and animals. It flows against the ground and feels cold to the touch. It really is carbon dioxide."

"Teacher, is the evil below here carbon dioxide?" A student asked in surprise.

"Well, I was just guessing at first. After entering the forest, I walked all the way and observed. There were traces of carbon dioxide in many places, which made my guess more and more certain. Just now, Xiao Sun went down to experience it, and it was completely confirmed. My guess." Wang Lao said.

"Old Wang, why is there carbon dioxide here? Such a large-scale explosion?" Bao Yuluo said.

Wang Lao looked solemnly at the lake in the distance and said, "I suspect that the carbon dioxide comes from the lake."

"Impossible! Is there carbon dioxide in the lake? If so, carbon dioxide is a gas, so light, it would have floated up long ago." A man shook his head and continued: "Although, all lakes will produce carbon dioxide at the bottom. However, as the lake Own heat and cold cycle, as well as the flow of lake water, carbon dioxide is often produced and released into the atmosphere, 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: "Nothing is impossible. There are several lakes like this in the world. I just didn't expect that there is one in our country... Now that I think about it, it is really possible that there is such a murderous lake with the terrain and landforms in front of me." .”

Wang Laodao: "It's still too early to draw conclusions. When the sun rises and the carbon dioxide dissipates, let's go find out."

"Alright." Sun Caifeng nodded.

At the same time, Fangzheng and Honghaier had already reached the bottom of the lake, but Fangzheng did not see anything that could produce gas until the bottom of the lake. Instead, there were many strange black stones at the bottom of the lake, as if something had been melted and then cooled. like...

"Master, this is a volcanic trace. There used to be a volcanic fissure here." The red boy may not understand science, but he is very sensitive to flames.

Fangzheng nodded to show his understanding, and then he and Honghaier continued to search for the source of those bubbles at the bottom of the lake, but they found nothing. Fangzheng was very puzzled, where did the gas come from? Before they knew it, Fangzheng and Honghaier walked on the bottom of the lake with their feet all night, touching them almost inch by inch.

"Master, are you still looking for it? Now I know more about the bottom of the lake than I do about my own body. That's all here..." Hong Haier said.

Fangzheng thought for a while and said: "Look again, if you don't find the reason, you will not be reconciled as a teacher!"

Hong Haier had no choice but to continue to accompany her.

Before that, it was dawn outside, and the members of the scientific expedition team fell from the tree a little bit tentatively. Sure enough, the carbon dioxide had dispersed and everything was fine. So everyone came down...

"Hurry up and rush to the lake immediately, we still have a lot of experiments to do." Wang Lao urged.

After the commotion last night, everyone was very convinced by Mr. Wang. Even Police Officers Li, Zhao, and Gao Laowu patted their heads and muttered, "It turns out that Abbot Fangzheng really didn't ward off evil spirits, it's just that we were standing high at that time... ..."

"I told you a long time ago that praying and doing things are all nonsense! There is no scientific basis! You didn't believe it before, do you believe it now?" Bao Yuluo hugged her arms and hummed, now she was looking forward to seeing Fangzheng up. With the scientific basis and the puzzle solved, she wants to see how this monk will do the rituals! Thinking of Fangzheng's confession, Bao Yuluo was rather proud, but he still groaned twice: "I hope you don't mess around for money. Otherwise, I will expose you and I will never tolerate it... Well, it seems that you have saved me." For my sake, I can remind you."

Over there, Sun Caifeng shook her head and said, "If you have time to believe in a monk, why don't you read a few 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 it is not evil..."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was stunned.

Officer Li said: "It seems that this is the case. We asked him to exorcise the evil spirits. When suppressing the evil spirits, he just smiled and shook his head."

Officer Zhao also nodded.

"Okay, don't mention that monk. Hurry up and get to work." Sun Caifeng waved her hand and led everyone away.

On the contrary, Elder Wang turned around and said, "Before taking refuge yesterday, I asked Xiao Zhou to look at it. There is no one in the central lake area, and they should be hiding."
