Chapter 426: A Gamble

"So it was just a gamble, and everything was fake?"

After listening to Xiao Bang's words, Shanhe Fang woke up like a dream, and it didn't take long for him to complain:

"Then why didn't you tell me secretly? I—I always thought that the old man was really going to eat you!"

"Master, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that the old crane has been using secret methods to trap me in order to ensure the fairness of the gambling game, cutting off the connection between you and me, I really can't tell you. After explaining, I listened to the little bracelet and said:

"However, although it is a gamble, it does not mean that it is all fake! Master, if you really signed the change of ownership agreement just now, we are afraid that we will have parted ways by now. ā€

"W-What do you mean?"

"It means that although the fact that the crane really wants to devour me is fake, but the change of ownership scroll is true! If you just agreed to the crane real deal, now I am already the old crane person, and you and I have nothing to do with it!"

After hearing the news, Shanhe's eyes immediately widened, and his face was full of incredulity!

Only then did he realize that the "agreement" that Hezhen had given him just now turned out to be genuine! The so-called "transfer" was not a false statement, but a real transaction hidden in the gambling game.

After thinking about this, Shanhe immediately showed a look of regret, and said with a sigh in his mouth:

"Oh, didn't I just miss the opportunity to take back my cultivation and take off my bracelet?"

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Shanhe actually said such an "ungrateful" word, and the little bracelet immediately roared like a demon possessed:

"Hey, you...... You just want to drive me away? You have no conscience, don't you? Tell me, how many times have I saved you before? How many secret methods have I taught you? You actually want to send me away at every opportunity, master, are you human or not?"

Before, when he saw that Shanhe intended to sign that agreement, Xiao Bang held back his anger.

But at that time, she was restricted by the secret method and couldn't communicate with the mountains and rivers, so she endured it until now.

Now that Shanhe mentioned this matter again, Xiao Bang couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his mouth to reprimand.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding, you, don't take it seriously!"

"Joke? Hmph! I don't believe you! Before Tsuru Zhen said he wanted to eat me, I thought you wanted to sign that agreement! Unthankful! Unthankful!"

After complaining again with full of resentment, he listened to the little bracelet's voice and said:

"But I can tell you clearly, although the old crane's method can allow me to take it off you, it is impossible to return the lost cultivation to you, and this is because he lied to you. Don't say that I was eaten by him, even if I was eaten by you, I can't go back to cultivation, so don't be delusional!"

Before, after learning that the painful choice between life and death just now was just a well-planned gamble, Shanhe felt very uncomfortable, and he felt like he was being deceived by Xiao Bang and Hezhen teaming up.

I wanted to take the opportunity to reprimand Xiao Bang to see if she dared to "tease" herself casually in the future.

However, as soon as he heard the other party mention the matter of "abandonment" again, Shanhe immediately felt empty.

Lend him a hundred guts, and he didn't dare to teach Xiao Bang any more lessons, so he hurriedly lowered his head and threw the black pot to Hezhen, who was not present:

"Ahh

"By the way, Xiao Bang, then the poison I just took is also fake, right?"

"Gee, I really don't know about that. Originally, there was no such thing in the plot, but because you made a five-year request, he played on the spot. It stands to reason that it can't really be poison......"

As soon as Xiao Bang's words fell, he heard an old man's voice from outside the cave:

"Hehe, of course it's not a poison, it's just an ordinary blood pill. What five years of life and death, it's all the old man's nonsense, don't be surprised. ā€

The person who spoke was Tsuruma who had just returned, and at this moment there was a powerful spirit beast behind him.

The beast was about a man tall, resembling a tiger, with a cow's tail behind it, and its body was covered with black stripes, like black flames.

Slowly came to the front of Shanhe, and saw Hezhen holding his fists and saying with a pleasant face:

"What happened just now, I hope the little third brother is not strange! The little bracelet fairy may have already told you about the old man, but I'd better introduce myself. The old man Hezhen, who was a crane living in this mountain before his death, met a noble person on the way, and then stepped into the path of cultivation. He died about two hundred years ago, but due to a trace of obsession, he left this soul behind and has always remained in this ancient forest. ā€

After talking about his own business, he saw Hezhen pointing to the tiger-shaped spirit beast behind him and said:

"This is the Huen brothers, who belong to the ancient Black Flame Bi (zhƬ) lineage, and have also lived in this mountain for a long time. Since the old man is just a wisp of dead soul now, many things need to be done by the Huen brothers, so I invited him to do it together. ā€

After Hezhen's introduction, Hu Enchong nodded symbolically to Shanhe, and then lay quietly beside Hezhen.

After listening to the old man's identity introduction, Shanhe subconsciously thought of the small bracelet.

He actually wanted to know what kind of identity the bracelet was. If it is a spirit animal, then what type is she?

But after thinking about it, he still felt that it didn't seem appropriate to ask about this matter in front of so many people, so he didn't ask directly, and was going to ask alone after the others left.

"By the way, senior, before you get down to business, can I ask you a question?"

Seeing that Hezhen was standing opposite and laughing without saying a word, Xiao Bang was silent at this time, and Shanhe took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Of course, the little third brother doesn't hurt to ask. Tsuruma nodded back.

Hearing this strange name for the second time, Shanhe frowned and said with a wry smile:

"Senior, why don't you call me Sanke, hehe, it sounds more comfortable that way. Oh yes, I want to ask, have you lived in this Hangu Forest all your life?"

Although I don't know why the other party is so disliked by the word "little three", Hezhen still nodded and agreed to Shanhe's request. At the same time, he also replied:

"Well, not only before his death, but also after his death, the old man has been in the Hangu Forest all along. ā€

Seeing that the other party confirmed the matter, he listened to Shanhe and ask urgently:

"Then do you know why this place is the forbidden place of Nangong Gate? Is there any secret hidden in it? And ...... How could there be a secret passage in this forest that leads to the Zhenling Tower?"
