Jumping into the dark secret passage, Shanhe did not rush to leave, but hid at the entrance of the secret passage, listening attentively to the conversation between the two disciples on duty.

He was relieved when he learned that the two of them would not report the matter to the Precept Elder.

After the two left, Fang cautiously walked towards the secret passage.

Because the secret passage was too dark, Shanhe took out his mobile phone from the ring and wanted to use it as a light.

But when he took out his mobile phone, he found that he hadn't charged it for more than a month, and the phone didn't even have enough power to turn it on, let alone the lighting.

So I could only continue to touch the darkness and walk cautiously towards the secret passage.

In just a minute or two, Shanhe's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he could vaguely see that he was in an artificially built underground tunnel.

The tunnel is more than two meters high and more than one meter wide, which is a little oppressive and can feel crowded if two people walk side by side. The air was filled with the smell of earthiness and staleness, and it looked like no one had been here for a long time.

Holding on to the wall, after walking in this straight secret passage for another three or four minutes, seeing that there was no danger, Shanhe was a little more steady, and asked the question in his heart to Xiaobangdao:

"Little Bracelet, how can there be a secret passage here?

But the strange thing is that after waiting for more than half a minute, Xiao Bang didn't reply, and the question seemed to be sunk in the sea.

"Little bracelet, why don't you speak? You can't still be angry with me, right?"

“......”

"Hello, don't scare me!

“......”

asked Xiao Bang more than 20 words one after another, but the other party never heard from him, which can confuse the mountains and rivers, and he doesn't understand what happened.

He quickly remembered that a similar situation had happened once before in Qingsong City.

I remember that at that time, Shanhe was fighting with Yin Che, and Xiao Bang turned into a white shadow with all his strength to resist an attack from the other party.

For the next week, the bracelet was unable to speak due to excessive consumption. It wasn't until the next charge that she regained her normal function. To this day, he still remembers this incident.

But today, Xiao Bang didn't do anything to consume energy, but suddenly stopped communicating with himself, which really made Shanhe incomprehensible.

After twenty or thirty attempts, seeing that the other party still did not reply, Shanhe stopped the unilateral call.

He knew that something must have happened to Xiao Bang, otherwise he wouldn't have gone unanswered for so long.

But at this moment, he is in the dark secret passage, let alone helping Xiao Bracelet solve the problem, he can't even be sure where he will go next, and it is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river himself.

Coupled with the problem of small bracelets, mountains and rivers have always been helpless.

If the other party is a computer AI or something, he can still restart it and try it, but the bracelet obviously doesn't have a "restart" button! In addition to communicating in his mind, Shanhe doesn't have any solution and ability.

Therefore, although he was worried, he could not do anything, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being and continue to walk to the other end of the secret passage. I plan to wait until it is relatively safe to leave the secret passage, and then calm down and study the problem of the little bracelet.

However, this deep secret passage is surprisingly long. After walking for nearly an hour, the mountains and rivers came to the end of the secret passage.

The other end of the secret passage, like the entrance just now, was sealed by a stone slab with strange characters painted on it.

After trying many times with brute force and still couldn't open it, Shanhe remembered the method of opening the door that Xiao Bracelet had just taught him.

I did the same thing, and the slate quickly disappeared.

Leaving the secret passage, the noon sun immediately pierced the mountains and rivers and narrowed their eyes.

It took him a few seconds before he found himself in the middle of a dense primeval jungle.

Taking out the "Disciple's Handbook" and referring it to the map, Shanhe quickly recognized that he should be located in the westernmost part of the sect at this moment in a jungle called "Han Gulin", and he had not left the strength range of Nangong Gate.

Seeing that he had finally escaped safely from the forbidden land of the Zhenling Tower, Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief for the first time.

Although the other party was not able to respond to him, he still expressed his sincere gratitude to Xiao Bang.

After breathing a sigh of relief and thanking him, Shanhe's face should have shown a little lightheartedness, but he didn't do it, but closed the map in his hand with a frown, and let out a light sigh in his mouth.

That's because after looking at the map, Shanhe found that this jungle called Hangulin is also a forbidden place marked in red!

Although this magical secret passage helped him escape from the forbidden land of the Zhenling Tower, it also brought him to this forbidden land of the Ancient Forest.

I don't know much about this strange jungle, and I have never asked anyone.

Therefore, he instantly had the feeling that he had just come out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den, and his face immediately showed a look of worry.

But at this moment, there is no better way for mountains and rivers.

Although they are all "forbidden places", if they are discovered, this jungle must be easier to explain than the Zhenling Tower, right?

So he took a step and walked quickly to the east. I keep praying in my heart that I won't be seen!

The area of this Hangu forest is really not small, and after walking for about ten minutes, the mountains and rivers can be regarded as coming to the center of the jungle.

Along the way, Shanhe did not meet any fellow doors, but encountered a lot of small animals, such as pheasants, hares, monkeys and so on.

And when these little guys saw Shanhe, they were not afraid at all, and they followed him with wide eyes, giving people the feeling of never seeing a human being, which made Shanhe very surprised.

After walking west for another two or three minutes, when Shanhe came to a large black and white rock pile, he found that all the small animals behind him had stopped in place, and it seemed that they did not dare to enter this area.

Although he was puzzled, Shanhe, who was in a hurry to leave this place, did not take it seriously and continued to walk forward.

But as soon as he had taken two or three steps, he faintly heard a familiar and weak woman's voice coming from the stone pile in the north:

"The host...... Help me!"

"Small, small bracelet?"

Shanhe recognized this voice at the first time, and immediately stopped.

But he didn't run directly to the north, but froze in confusion.

From the first day they met Little Bracelet, all the communication between them was done in the brain.

Except for the occasional babble of words when Shanhe is excited, they never communicate in the conventional way of speaking and listening.

But today, the little bracelet not only made a real sound, but also came from a place more than ten meters away from him, which really puzzled Shanhe.

That's why he didn't run directly, but thought about it on the spot:

Who sent the cry for help just now? Is it really the bracelet? Or is it that I am hallucinating?
