Chapter 1366: Meeting
Hearing the voice, Duan Qing walked directly outside the weapon refining workshop. When he arrived at the door, he found a human cultivator he had never seen before.
"Are you Duan Qing?" the human cultivator confirmed.
"Well, what's the matter?" Duan Qing nodded lightly.
Hearing Duan Qing's admission, the human cultivator flipped his wrist, stuffed a jade slip into Duan Qing's hand, and then left without looking back.
Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Duan Qing pondered for a moment, immersed his mind in it, and checked it.
There was only one sentence in the jade slip.
"Thirty miles of stone forest east of the city."
Duan Qing exerted force with his right hand, crushed the jade slip into pieces, and scattered it in the corner of the wall. He looked at the direction where the human cultivator left, thinking.
Obviously, someone wanted to meet him secretly!
He had only been in the Black Prison for about a month in total. Who would meet him at this time?
After a little thought, Duan Qing had the answer in his mind.
Obviously, only the seven people of Wanli Hanyun!
In fact, Duan Qing had expected such a scene as early as when he left that day.
Judging from the fact that Wanli Hanyun secretly warned him that day, Wanli Hanyun had undoubtedly guessed that he had the bluestone.
Since he guessed that he had the bluestone that hid the secret of leaving the Black Prison, and he would let him go, it was obvious that Wanli Hanyun had his own plans.
But no matter what he planned to do, he must contact him who had the bluestone, there is no doubt about that.
After a little hesitation, Duan Qing returned to the weapon refining workshop, informed Ou Yezi that he would be away for a while, and then headed towards the north gate decisively.
After leaving the north gate and coming to a deserted place, Duan Qing quietly performed Bai Mengxing to hide his figure, and then went around to the east of the city.
Behind the mountains in the east of Xianling City, there is a stone forest several miles in size. At this time, in the center of the stone forest, a bald man stood with his hands behind his back. It was Wanli Hanyun.
Suddenly, Wanli Hanyun seemed to sense something, looked at the distance of ten feet, and said in a deep voice: "Did you use this method to sneak back into the cave that day?"
As soon as Wanli Hanyun finished speaking, Duan Qing's body quietly appeared next to a huge rock, and nodded to Wanli Hanyun, which was considered as tacit agreement.
When Wanli Hanyun was entangled by Nanying and Ou Yezi, he did use Bai Mengxing to sneak back to the cave, and then caught the woman with beauty mole, which resolved the crisis that day.
Duan Qing was not surprised at all that Wanli Hanyun could see through his Bai Mengxing.
Wanli Hanyun was a strong man in the Suijiang realm after all. When he fought with Nanying and Ou Yezi that day, he probably had no time to be distracted and did not expect him to return to the cave, so he did not find him.
Under normal circumstances, Wanli Hanyun could not fail to find him.
"Senior Wanli personally summoned Duan to come here, I don't know why?" Duan Qing asked knowingly.
"Why am I looking for you, don't you know it yourself?" Wanli Hanyun stared at Duan Qing with a smile.
"I don't know what Senior Wanli is talking about!" Duan Qing continued to play dumb.
He had to make sure that Wanli Hanyun was not deceiving him.
"Boy, stop pretending. If you didn't know why I was looking for you, why would you come here alone?" Wanli Hanyun asked back.
Duan Qing didn't respond, but just waited in silence for Wanli Hanyun to continue.
Seeing Duan Qing didn't speak, Wanli Hanyun went straight to the point and said, "Boy, I know the thing is in your hands. Don't deny it. You appearing here alone has already explained everything."
"Now, let's talk about cooperation."
"Cooperation? The thing is in my hands, why should I cooperate with you?" Duan Qing tried to test.
"Haha, finally admitted it!" Wanli Hanyun smiled confidently.
"It's true that you have that thing, but do you know how to use it?"
Duan Qing was happy in his heart, but his face was still calm: "Duan doesn't know, does Senior Wanli know?"
"If you don't know the purpose, why do you think my six brothers and sisters would go to great lengths to find this thing in the outside world?" Wanli Hanyun asked a question instead of answering.
Sure enough!
Wanli Hanyun and his people really know how to use those bluestones!
Duan Qing felt relieved and surprised at the same time.
This was exactly the purpose of his meeting Wanli Hanyun.
In the days since he returned to Xianling City, he would study those bluestone slabs almost every time he had time, or ask Ou Yezi about some related topics indirectly, but he always got nothing and had no clue.
So, knowing that Wanli Hanyun and his people would definitely come to him, he had actually prepared to meet Wanli Hanyun and his people.
If there were people in the Black Prison who might know the secret of the bluestone slabs, Duan Qing would first think of Wanli Hanyun and his people.
If he wanted to leave the Black Prison, he had to first figure out the purpose of the bluestone slabs, and to do this, it seemed that cooperating with Wanli Hanyun and his people was the most effective way.
"How does Senior Wanli want to cooperate?" Duan Qing said calmly.
"It's very simple. Take out the things and we'll leave the Black Prison together."
"Senior Wanli, you want Duan to hand over the things with just a few words. It's a bit naive."
"What do you want?"
"At least, explain the things about this thing to show your sincerity, and then talk about cooperation."
Wanli Hanyun pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, it's okay to tell you."
"Boy, do you know what the Black Prison was like before the human and demon races?"
"I've heard a little bit." Duan Qing said lightly.
Wanli Hanyun was a little surprised. Obviously, he didn't expect Duan Qing to know such a long-ago thing.
"Since you know, I won't explain any more. Anyway, at that time, the Black Prison could only be entered but not exited. The entire Black Prison was filled with despair!"
"Can you imagine how these people who were trapped in the Black Prison and could not leave for the rest of their lives felt and what they would do in such despair?"
"They could not see hope and were sinking in endless pain and despair all day long. Some people acted madly, doing whatever they wanted and venting their nature. Some people chose to commit suicide, and more people lived like zombies. The long lifespan of the Sui people became the source of their pain."
"With the Black Prison, More and more people came, and finally, this despair reached its peak, and the people in the Black Prison exploded. "
"They vented madly, destroying everything they could see in the Black Prison. The entire Black Prison was almost dug up three feet deep!"
"One day, a group of people suddenly found a space crack somewhere. These people were ecstatic and thought they could leave the Black Prison through the space crack."
"But after entering the space crack, these people found that this space crack did not lead to the outside world, but to the Sky Mark!"
When talking about the Sky Mark, Wanli Hanyun stretched out his hand and pointed to the gray sky, the ink mark that almost split the sky in two.
Duan Qing followed Wanli Hanyun's gaze to the Sky Mark and fell into deep thought.
