A look of surprise appeared on the man's face.
It seems that our sudden appearance in the Soul Burial Valley was a shock to him. After all, there are so many ferocious hairy monsters outside the Soul Burial Valley.
Before I could say anything, Zhao Xilan came up to the man and asked, "Do you know Huang Bin? Is he still alive? Can you tell me?"
The man didn't expect Zhao Xilan to ask about Huang Bin. He nodded slowly and said weakly, "I know, I know Huang Bin, I know he... He's still alive!"
After hearing this, Zhao Xilan showed a happy expression on her face and asked again: "Then tell me, where is Huang Bin?"
The man might be in a lot of pain, and he grimaced in pain while speaking.
He said, "Can you put me down first? I'm seriously injured and I need to rest."
"Okay, okay! I'll put you down right now."
Zhao Xilan went directly behind the man and loosened the straw ropes tied to the wooden frame.
Fatty Li stepped forward and helped Zhao Xilan slowly help the man sit on the ground.
I looked outside the cave and reminded them, "Keep your voices down. The two hairy monsters are still outside. We can't let them find us."
Zhao Xilan and Fatty Li nodded.
After helping the man down against the stone wall, Zhao Xilan took out a bottle of mineral water from her cloth bag.
The man was really thirsty, so he grabbed the bottle of mineral water that Zhao Xilan handed over and began to drink it. But after just a few sips, the man started coughing violently again.
Seeing this, I was afraid that the sound would be heard outside, so I quickly took out a silence charm from my bag and stuck it on the man's body.
Then the man stopped making any sound, but he was still coughing.
After coughing a few times, the man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
Seeing this, I thought to myself, it seems the man has internal injuries.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
The man nodded slightly and put the bottle aside.
Seeing that he stopped coughing, I pulled the silencing talisman off him.
The man stared at the silencing talisman in my hand in surprise and asked in a trembling voice: "You...what is that piece of yellow paper in your hand? Why can't I make any sound when it was pasted on me just now?"
I didn't explain too much, and simply said, "This is a talisman called the Silence Talisman, which can silence people. And I am a Taoist priest who catches ghosts."
The man probably didn't understand what I was saying, and there was confusion in his eyes.
At this time, Zhao Xilan on the side urged: "Tell me, you don't know where Huang Bin is? Since you know, tell me quickly."
The man thought for a moment, raised his hand slightly, pointed at the small hole in the distance, and said, "Huang Bin is in the cave. You can get into the cave through the small hole over there. But the cave is complicated and only those monsters know how to get in and out. It may not be easy for you to get in."
"Also, this crypt is controlled by a madman. That madman kills people without blinking an eye and has killed quite a few people. Four of the six of us who came here to explore have died at his hands. And that madman can also turn dead people into zombies."
"You know what zombies are? They're like in Lin Zhengyin's movies, resurrecting the dead. That madman can do that."
After hearing this, I was shocked.
I chatted with him and asked, "What are those hairy monsters outside?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "Those hairy monsters were also raised by that madman.
"They are like dogs. You don't know that there are many monsters in the crypt. They are locked up in the caves of the crypt. They are raised like animals. Any child born will be raised into a hairy monster and obey the orders of the madman."
The more I listened to the man's words, the more surprised I became. I had never expected that there were a group of hairy monsters locked up in the crypt. This was beyond my expectation.
Zhao Xilan, on the other hand, is more concerned about her boyfriend Huang Bin.
She asked the man: "Then tell me, where is Huang Bin? Is he also with those monsters?"
The man nodded and said, "Yes, Huang Bin is also in the dungeon. But he is not locked up with the monsters. Instead, he is responsible for distributing food to them. You may not know that Huang Bin has been recognized by that madman. Many hairy monsters in the dungeon have to obey Huang Bin's arrangements."
After hearing this, Zhao Xilan's expression changed.
She looked at me, then at the man, and said in a deep voice, "So, Huang Bin is hanging out with that lunatic, right?"
The man put a hand on his chest and nodded.
I noticed that Zhao Xilan had tears in her eyes. She was muttering softly, "How could this happen? Huang Bin is a good man. How could he hang out with those hairy monsters and that lunatic? No, no! You must be talking nonsense."
"Tell me, are you lying to me by saying this on purpose? Tell me, is that right?"
I saw that Zhao Xilan was a little unstable, so I hurriedly said, "Sister Xilan, please keep your voice down so that the hairy monster outside the cave can't hear you."
The man looked miserable and said hurriedly, "No, no, no, I didn't lie to you. If you hadn't saved me just now, I would have died. How could I lie to you? Everything I said is true."
As for Zhao Xilan, her body suddenly began to tremble for some reason.
Then, her legs and feet went limp like noodles and she fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Fatty Li was quick to act and quickly supported Zhao Xilan from behind.
But Zhao Xilan had already fallen into a coma.
It seems that her spirit may have been stimulated to a certain extent. After all, this matter was too sudden. Zhao Xilan originally came to find Huang Bin, and Huang Bin also had news. But unexpectedly, Huang Bin became the helper of those hairy monsters and some crazy people.
This is a bit scary.
In Zhao Xilan's mind, Huang Bin was a good man and a considerate boyfriend. Suddenly, it changed. Huang Bin was actually helping some lunatic to harm others. This was not easy to accept.
Seeing Zhao Xilan fainted, Fatty Li hurriedly helped Zhao Xilan to the ground nearby.
After pressing the philtrum for a long time, Zhao Xilan slowly opened her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, tears welled up in her eye sockets.
Zhao Xilan choked up and said, "How could this happen? How could this happen? Why would Huang Bin help that lunatic to harm others? This must be fake. It must be!"
"No, I want to find Huang Bin and ask him clearly."
Having said that, Zhao Xilan was about to stand up and go find Huang Bin.
Seeing that Zhao Xilan was emotionally unstable, I walked over and used the acupuncture point tapping method to press Zhao Xilan's acupuncture points. Zhao Xilan didn't get up.
"Brother Tianyi, please let me go. I want to find Huang Bin and ask him about this. How could he, such a kind person, hurt others? No way. No way..."
I stood aside, half squatting, and comforted her: "Sister Xilan, please don't be impatient. We don't know the situation yet. You can't solve the problem by being so anxious. Who knows what difficulties Huang Bin has."
Speaking of this
I paused, then said in a deep voice, "Sometimes, people are selfish. It's possible that Huang Bin harmed people just for his own comfort. Just like what this big brother said just now, four of them died when they came here. It shows that the monsters here and that madman may still have an instinctive aversion to humans."
The man also spoke up at this time: "Yes, yes, this little brother is right. By the way, I remember when we were captured by those hairy monsters and taken to the Soul Burial Valley, Huang Bin even pleaded for us with that madman."
"But that madman didn't listen to Huang Bin, and our people died one after another. Now that I think about it, maybe Huang Bin really had some difficulties."
Zhao Xilan looked a little better after hearing this and asked the man, "Really?"
The man looked at me and nodded, "It's true!"
Zhao Xilan felt better now.
I quickly untied the acupoints on Zhao Xilan's body.
But Zhao Xilan still wanted to meet Huang Bin as soon as possible, so she said to the man: "Okay, then I believe you. Then take us to find Huang Bin now, I want to meet him."
After hearing this, a look of hesitation appeared on the man's face.
Seeing that he looked gloomy, I asked, "Why, is there something inconvenient for you? Or do you not want to?"
The man said, "It's like this, guys. It's not that I don't want to take you into the cave in the Soul Burial Valley. It's just that it's too dangerous in there. Many of those hairy monsters are in the cave. If we encounter them, it would be difficult for us to survive."
"Also, you may not know this. I was caught by those monsters because I wanted to escape from the dungeon. Later, this monster brought me up here, and you just saw it. If you hadn't shown up, I'm afraid I would have been beaten to death by this hairy monster lying on the ground."
At this point, the man stared angrily at the hairy monster lying on the ground. Disgust and ferocity emerged in his eyes.
I thought about it and asked the man, "So, it's not that you don't want to do it, but you are afraid of the monsters in the dungeon and that madman. Am I right?"
The man looked away and nodded.
He looked at me and whispered, "I don't know how you got in, but little brother, I can see that you are an expert. There must be a lot of monsters outside, but you got in. This shows that you are very capable."
At this point, the man swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't go into the dungeon. It's really not safe there. How about this, you take me away from here. When I get out, I can give you money."
"My home is in the center of Wenshan City. I have several properties and a factory there. As long as you are willing to take me away from here, I can give you a lot of money."
When Zhao Xilan heard this, she was unwilling and said, "No! I want to find my boyfriend Huang Bin. I don't want money. You must take me to find Huang Bin."
At this point, Zhao Xilan's eyes softened again. She turned to the man and said, "Brother, please help me. My boyfriend and I haven't seen each other for a few years. I want to know if he is a good person. I want to know why he helps those hairy monsters."
But the man still disagreed. He shook his head repeatedly and said bitterly: "No, no, no, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that it's too dangerous in the cave. You are no match for those hairy monsters, really."
"You may not have seen those hairy monsters kill people. Not only do they kill people, they also eat human flesh and drink human blood. What I said is true. I saw it with my own eyes. One of my friends who came with me on the adventure was killed and eaten by those monsters."
