Chapter 1354: Fairy City and Sweet Rain
Three days later, Duan Qing stood on a hilltop, looking at a small city in the distance that was about the same size as Xiao'an City, frowning slightly.
Is this Xianling City?
Duan Qing took out the map he got from the skinny Sui Clan, compared it again and again, and confirmed that the location was correct, then put the map away again.
Xianling City, one of the five major forces in the Black Prison, is just such a small city!
Duan Qing sighed secretly and flew towards Xianling City.
After learning about the basic situation of the Black Prison from the two Sui Clan three days ago, Duan Qing decided to come to Xianling City.
According to the two people, only one person can leave the Black Prison every hundred years, and the quota for leaving the Black Prison is basically controlled by the five major forces of the Black Prison.
Therefore, if you want to leave the Black Prison and join one of them, it is undoubtedly necessary!
In addition to Xianling City, the other four major forces were all built by the Sui Clan. Considering his human identity, it is obviously most appropriate to join Xianling City built by the human and demon races.
Duan Qing had just landed at the gate when a spear fell from the sky and stabbed into the ground in front of Duan Qing.
"Who is coming?" The person who spoke was a young man, who seemed to be the guard of the gate. He was standing on the city wall at this time, looking down at Duan Qing.
It was obvious that the spear was thrown by this man.
Duan Qing looked up at the young guard, bowed and smiled: "I am Duan Qing, I just arrived in the Black Prison and want to join your city."
The young guard on the city wall looked at Duan Qing carefully and tried to ask: "You are a human, just sent in?"
Duan Qing nodded affirmatively.
After getting Duan Qing's confirmation, the young guard was immediately amazed: "Tsk tsk, it's rare. There hasn't been a new human entering the Black Prison for thousands of years, but recently they have come one after another!"
Duan Qing's heart moved, and he quickly asked: "Besides me, have there been other foreign human races joining your city recently?"
The young guard nodded slightly, and then opened the city gate.
"Come in."
Duan Qing glanced at the three big characters "Xianling City" on the city wall, and then walked in decisively through the open city gate.
When Duan Qing entered the city, the young guard on the city wall had already jumped down the wall and was waiting for Duan Qing.
Seeing Duan Qing, the young guard asked directly: "What is your cultivation level? Do you have any special skills? Tell me, our Xianling City does not keep useless people."
"I am in the middle stage of the spiritual life realm, and I have dabbled in alchemy and refining." In order to keep a low profile, Duan Qing did not mention that he also knew formations and restrictions.
When Duan Qing said that he could make alchemy and refine equipment, the young guard's eyes lit up: "He is a versatile person!"
As he said, the young guard quickly took out the sound transmission jade slip and called someone else to come on duty.
After a while, a man flew hurriedly from the city and replaced the young guard on duty on the city wall.
"Follow me, Daoyou Duan."
The young guard's voice was obviously much more enthusiastic than before.
Duan Qing walked beside the young guard, looking at the rather desolate Xianling City, and asked casually: "Duan heard that your city is one of the five major forces in the Black Prison. Why does it look so desolate?"
The young guard explained as he walked: "Now is the time of the rain from the sky. Most people in the city are following the city lord to collect the rain."
After hearing what the young guard said, Duan Qing suddenly understood.
He learned a lot about the Black Prison from the two Sui clans before, including the matter of the rain.
The rain is one of the most important things in the Black Prison, because it is related to the quota of leaving the Black Prison once every hundred years.
In the Black Prison, a special crystal will fall from the sky from time to time, and this crystal is the rain.
According to the rules set by the Black Emperor, with a cycle of one hundred years, within a hundred years, the person who collects the most rain will be qualified to leave the Black Prison.
So, whenever the rain falls from the sky, all the major forces will almost go out in full force to collect the rain.
The five major forces in the Black Prison account for more than half of the total number of people, so almost every time the quota for leaving the Black Prison is occupied by the five major forces.
This is also the reason why he came to Xianling City.
Because with personal strength, it is impossible to compete with the five major forces with a large number of people.
Not long after, Duan Qing, led by the young guard, came to a stone house in the city to register his identity.
The person who registered asked Duan Qing many questions, such as his origin and cultivation.
Duan Qing answered a lot of questions, both true and false, but it did not arouse suspicion. After registration, Duan Qing got an identity talisman, and then went to the weapon refining workshop in the city with the young guard.
Because Duan Qing emphasized that he was good at refining when registering, he was temporarily assigned to the weapon refining workshop.
"Daoyou Duan, you said before that you were a patrol team monk?" The young guard asked curiously while leading the way.
Duan Qing hummed softly.
"Really? What is the patrol team like? I always hear others talk about it, but I have never seen it!" The young guard looked curious.
"There are many rules, there are bad people and good people, it should be similar to this place."
After explaining, Duan Qing asked casually: "Weren't you imprisoned?"
The young guard shook his head: "No, I was born in the Black Prison as a native, and so were my parents. I heard from my parents that my ancestors were captured patrol team monks during the war between the Immortal Spirit Alliance and the Sui Clan many years ago!"
Hearing what the young guard said, Duan Qing's face darkened, and he felt inexplicably depressed.
As far as he knew, the number of people in the Black Prison should have exceeded one million. Among these millions of people, only one person every hundred years can leave the Black Prison.
And the vast majority of other people can only stay in this black prison for life, some live alone, some reproduce, and their descendants become prisoners!
For those who were born in the black prison, they may not be able to understand what this feeling is, but for those who are imprisoned in the black prison, this is undoubtedly a despair that makes people collapse and go crazy!
Even Duan Qing himself has this feeling to some extent.
Even though his strength is not weak and far exceeds that of the same realm, can he stand out from millions of people and become the lucky one?
To be honest, Duan Qing is not sure at all, and he has no idea in his heart.
It's just that there is only one way to leave the black prison at present, and he can only work in this direction.
At least, there is a glimmer of hope in this way.
Of course, Duan Qing will not pin all his hopes on this.
If possible, he will try every possible way to try other methods.
But he also knows that there is almost no possibility of other ways to leave the black prison.
This black prison is the exclusive prison of the Black Emperor. Although it is not known whether it was built by the Black Emperor himself, there is no doubt that the Black Emperor is the owner of the black prison.
That's Black Emperor, one of the Five Emperors of Sui Clan!
The Five Emperors of Sui Clan can be said to be the strongest existence under this starry sky, even stronger than the dozen Dao Saints and Demon Saints of the Immortal Spirit Alliance.
How could he, a mere Spiritual Life Realm, find a way to escape from the Black Prison controlled by such an existence?
Let alone the Spiritual Life Realm, even if the Sui Wang Realm was trapped in the Black Prison, if the Black Emperor didn't let him go, he would probably be trapped here for life!
With a heavy heart, he had arrived at the destination unknowingly.
"Fellow Daoist Ou, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Duan Qing had just walked to the door of the weapon refining workshop when he heard a familiar voice coming from the courtyard.
