"Where are you, Huang Bin?"
I shouted anxiously.
Huang Bin is not here, I guess he might have been captured by the hairy monster. But if he was really captured by the hairy monster, he should have screamed just now, but I didn't hear any screams just now.
What is going on.
Su Xiaoshan stared at me strangely and asked, "Um... little brother, could it be that Huang Bin has already left here?"
I turned my head and glared at her, saying, "My name is Yang Tianyi, not little brother. You'd better not act like a spoiled brat in front of me. I won't accept it."
Su Xiaoshan closed her mouth awkwardly. In the firelight, there were tears in her eyes. Maybe she felt wronged because I scolded her.
Just as I was anxiously preparing to look around, a sound suddenly came from the cave in the distance where the hairy monster leader was imprisoned.
"Brother Yang, I'm here."
It was Huang Bin's voice.
I quickly turned my head and saw Huang Bin leaning his head through the gap in the wooden fence on the other side of the cave. He was holding a flashlight in his hand and shaking it continuously.
I hurriedly took Su Xiaoshan to where Huang Bin was.
With the help of the flashlight beam, I not only saw Huang Bin, but also the huge hairy monster in the cave.
What surprised me was that the hairy monster's hands and feet were actually chained. The two chains restricted its movement. The hair on the hairy monster leader was different from the other hairy monsters outside, which were not black or gray. It was silver-white.
Seeing Su Xiaoshan and I coming over, Huang Bin asked, "Have you dealt with that guy?" He was referring to the corpse-raiser Heishui.
I nodded.
Huang Bin ignored Su Xiaoshan and reached out to pull a wooden door on the fence inward. The fence door opened.
"Come in first. I have already communicated with the leader of these hairy monsters. He thinks my idea is good and is willing to cooperate with us."
Huang Bin tilted his head back and said, "But now we have a problem. The hands and feet of this hairy monster leader are chained, and the ends are connected to a big rock. If these chains are not removed, it can't leave here at all. It will be difficult to call on those hairy monsters."
I heard Huang Bin’s words and went into the cave.
Just as he said, the ends of the chains on the hairy monster leader's hands and feet were connected to a stone in the distance.
The stone was wrapped with several circles of iron chains, and the joints were locked with a large rusty padlock.
Maybe it saw Su Xiaoshan and I coming in together, the big hairy monster leader looked alert for some reason, and its mouth was slightly open, with its sharp teeth pointing towards Su Xiaoshan and me.
Su Xiaoshan stood beside me with some fear. She reached out a hand to me and grabbed a corner of my clothes.
Seeing that the hairy monster leader was hostile towards us, Huang Bin went up to the hairy monster leader and muttered a few words to him in a language I couldn't understand.
Those words should be the words of those monsters.
After a while, Huang Bin looked at me and said, "It's okay. It already knows that you have no ill intentions. Don't worry, it and I have already agreed that it will not harm anyone in the crypt of the Soul Burial Valley. It just wants the zombie Huang Zhongtian to die!"
I nodded and walked towards the hairy monster who had put away his fangs.
Of course, I was still on guard. Although this hairy monster had communicated well with Huang Bin, it was still a monster in my heart.
It's hard to understand human nature, so I'd better be careful.
However, when the hairy monster saw me coming, it didn't move. It just lay on the ground motionless.
Its fat body is like a small mountain, and with its thick silver-white hair, it really looks like a big Tibetan mastiff.
I reached out and touched the long chain between the stone and the monster's leader.
The chain was a little cold, and it was definitely not an ordinary chain. Moreover, I found patterns on each of the iron rings of the chain.
The lines are very small, but they are easy to spot if you look carefully.
I thought of an introduction in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, which said that there is a kind of chain used to tie up corpses. Tie up five corpses with chains and throw them into a cold pond where the five elements counteract each other. After ten years, a "cold chain" can be made.
This "cold chain" absorbed the corpse gas from the decaying corpse and the cold air from the cold pond, and had certain characteristics. If it was used to lock a living thing, not only would a large amount of Yang energy be sucked away from the living thing, but also a lot of life span would be sucked away, causing great harm to the body.
I suddenly figured out why the leader of the hairy monsters in the Soul Burial Valley is replaced every five years.
Because the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes said that the cold air and corpse gas in the cold chain would erupt every five years. In other words, when the fifth year came, the big hairy monster leader tied up by the cold chain would definitely die.
Huang Bin asked me: "Brother Yang, do you have a way to break these chains?"
I thought about it and nodded, "There is a way! As it happens, I have a way to break this kind of cold chain."
When I mentioned "cold chains", Huang Bin asked in confusion, "Are you saying these iron chains are called cold chains?"
I didn't hide anything and directly told Huang Bin the story about "Hanlian".
Huang Bin's face turned serious after hearing this. He said, "I didn't expect that Huang Zhongtian would be so cruel and crazy."
Then, Huang Bin translated my words verbatim to the hairy monster leader.
The big boss understood, his fat body trembled continuously, and his eyes were full of ferocity. His body was not fat from eating, but from the combined effect of corpse qi and cold air, which made his body fat.
"Okay, Brother Huang, and Su Xiaoshan, you guys go out first. I'm going to remove the cold chain from the head of this hairy monster."
Following my arrangements, Huang Bin took Su Xiaoshan out of the cave.
When leaving, Su Xiaoshan moved closer to Huang Bin again, but Huang Bin ignored her at all.
The two of them stood outside the cave, and I took out the ancient lotus lamp from the cloth bag.
It is mentioned in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes that the way to break this cold chain is to burn it with yang fire.
The Yang Fire mentioned in the notes does not refer to the flames we commonly see, but refers to the flame that must be ignited by the Yin De Qi.
I could have used the Fire Charm, but the Fire Charm burned very quickly and couldn't last long.
If you want to break such a long cold chain, you might have to use tens of thousands of fire talismans.
I can’t take out tens of thousands of fire talismans.
So I thought of the ancient lotus lamp!
This ancient lotus cave can form Yang fire under the stimulation of Yin De Qi. And the consumption of Yin De Qi will not be much as long as it is properly controlled. I estimate that consuming two-thirds of my Yin De Qi will be able to break the long cold chain.
The big hairy monster leader stared at me silently, it didn't know what I was going to do.
Then, I found a place near the cold chain and sat down cross-legged.
After that, I used the energy of my good deeds to activate the ancient lotus lamp.
Instant time, lotus
The ancient lamp emitted an orange-yellow flame, the firelight danced happily, and wisps of good karma continued to flood it.
His right hand controlled the inflow of Yin De Qi, and his left hand slowly pushed the ancient lotus lamp towards Han Lian.
Soon, under the burning flame of the ancient lotus lamp, the cold chain reacted.
The hairy monster leader did not move, but the cold chain began to move on its own under the burning of the yang fire, just like a long, thin snake trembling, making a "rustling" sound.
In just over half a minute, a link of the cold chain near the flame of the ancient lotus lamp began to change, making a "sizzling" sound, as if fat was boiling in a hot pot, and traces of corpse gas and cold air flew out of the cold chain.
According to the Yin De Du Hun's notes, the cold air and corpse gas forced out of the cold chain will disappear in the yang fire and turn into mist.
But what I didn’t expect was that the cold air and corpse gas forced out by the Ancient Lotus Lamp not only did not turn into mist, but quickly flew into the Ancient Lotus Lamp.
I sat in front of the ancient lotus lamp and felt the corpse smell and the cold air.
But they didn't affect me. The cold feeling and the dead silence disappeared.
Moreover, as the cold air and corpse gas flew into the ancient lotus lamp, the flame on the ancient lotus lamp became more and more intense.
The flame just now was the size of a fingertip, but now it has become the size of a fist.
But it's incredible!
And I noticed that the ancient lamp body was slowly releasing a little bit of dark light. It was like a dead thing that was slowly coming back to life.
As the flames grew larger, the speed at which the cold and corpse qi were expelled increased several times.
Previously, I thought it would take several hours to expel the corpse qi and cold air in the cold chain, but now, it seems that it won't take that long.
As the cold air and corpse qi quickly penetrated into the ancient lotus lamp, the lamp body became increasingly translucent.
And just now there was only one wick of the flame, but now a second one suddenly appeared.
Soon, a third one appeared...
It was not until the wick reached the ninth one that the wick of the Ancient Lotus Lamp stopped increasing.
Moreover, the flame at this time was like a blooming lotus, and it turned into pink, white and tender yellow colors. It looked magnificent, as if it was a dynamic picture produced by a computer.
Outside the cave, Huang Bin and Su Xiaoshan had incredible expressions on their faces.
They stared at the ancient lotus lamp with burning eyes.
I heard Su Xiaoshan asking Huang Bin something. Huang Bin moved his mouth and answered a few words.
The number of wicks increases, the flame expands, and the colorful colors are bright and eye-catching!
The corpse gas and cold air on the cold chain were constantly forced out, one ring at a time at first, and soon turned into several rings.
It took about twenty minutes, and the corpse qi and cold air on the entire cold chain were almost completely absorbed by the Lotus Ancient Lamp. And the consumption of my Yin De Qi was less than one-third.
With some magical gestures on my fingers, I directly absorbed the energy of good deeds.
However, the ancient lotus lamp was still burning under the stimulation of the cold and corpse gas.
I understand now. The cold air and corpse qi have become fuel for the ancient lotus lamp.
I recited a few formulas that I had learned before, and soon a "puff puff puff" sound came from the wick of the ancient lotus lamp.
Then the nine wicks formed began to shatter one by one.
When the last wick disappeared, the light in the cave suddenly dimmed.
But I noticed that the body of the ancient lotus lamp was still emitting a glass-like glow.
