Chapter 1376 The Mysterious Man
Until he returned to the front yard of the weapon refining workshop, Duan Qing still couldn't figure out some things.
The first is why Gongmen Ding took the initiative to find him. This is undoubtedly the strangest.
Gongmen Ding is the owner of the Artifact Refining Workshop in Tiandi City. With his status, it is impossible for him to pay attention to him, a newcomer who has just joined the Artifact Refining Workshop, without any reason.
Secondly, there is the strange condition of Gongmen Ding.
He didn't make any interest-related requests like ordinary people, but instead wanted to listen to him tell his story. This was also very strange.
The combination of these two things made Duan Qing feel that Gongmen Ding had some intentions, but he couldn't figure out what Gongmen Ding's intentions were at all.
Judging from Gongmen Ding's performance, it didn't seem like he was trying to harm him.
…
Before I knew it, ten days had passed.
In the past ten days, Duan Qing, in addition to helping in the weapon refining workshop, would go to the city to wander around whenever he had time to familiarize himself with the layout of Tiandi City.
After all, when he came to Tiandi City this time, in addition to looking for Gongmen Ding to repair Xiaohong, he also wanted to explore the path in advance for his actions three years later.
If possible, it would be great to be able to find the spatial rift mentioned by Wanli Hanyun in advance.
After ten days of investigation, Duan Qing had basically figured out the layout of Tiandi City, leaving only some sensitive areas, such as the City Lord's Mansion, which he did not investigate.
In addition, he did not detect any clues about the spatial rift.
On this day, Duan Qing finished his work in the weapon refining workshop and found another reason to leave the weapon refining workshop and go wandering in the city.
This time, he was going to explore the city lord's mansion.
Wanli Hanyun said that the Tiandi City side has long known about the existence of the spatial rift, and has been secretly sending people through the spatial rift to Tianzhihen to find a way to leave the black prison.
But after these days of investigation, he found no clue at all.
This shows that either Wanli Hanyun is lying to him, or Tiandi City is too secretive.
Duan Qing personally prefers the latter, and the City Lord's Mansion of Tiandi City is his main target of suspicion, and it is likely that the space rift is located.
After finally coming to Tiandi City, he was really unwilling not to check it out.
Duan Qing walked leisurely towards the city lord's palace in the center of Tiandi City without encountering any obstacles on the way.
The City Lord's Mansion in Tiandi City is much more imposing than the City Lord's Mansion in Xianling City. It occupies a large area, about one mile in radius, and is entirely surrounded by a high wall several feet high.
Duan Qing walked on the street outside the high wall of the City Lord's Mansion, observing the surrounding situation calmly, preparing to find an opportunity to use Bai Mengxing to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion.
He heard the news that the city lord of Tiandi City took a group of people to temporarily leave Tiandi City yesterday. It seemed that there was something important.
This is also the reason why he dared to come to the City Lord's Mansion. This kind of opportunity does not come every day. Now that the City Lord's Mansion is empty, it is a good time to sneak in.
At this time, Duan Qing walked to a secluded place outside the high wall and noticed that there were no other Sui people nearby. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He decisively used Bai Mengxing and prepared to climb over the high wall and enter the city lord's palace.
"stop!"
Suddenly, a weak-sounding voice suddenly sounded in Duan Qing's mind.
Duan Qing was startled and quickly looked left and right, while using all his strength to sense.
who is it?
He actually saw through his Bai Mengxing easily, and he didn't notice it at all!
But at this time, there was no one else around except himself.
Just when Duan Qing was in shock, the voice sounded again.
"No need to look for it, you can't find me!"
Duan Qing suppressed the shock in his heart, kept himself calm, and said silently in his heart: "Who is the senior?"
"Me? Just a person who is about to be forgotten!" The voice of the speaker was weak and lonely.
Duan Qing frowned slightly: "Senior, why do you ask me to live here?"
"The City Lord's Mansion is not that simple. If you enter the City Lord's Mansion, you will not be able to go back to Fairy City!"
Hearing this, Duan Qing was shocked.
"Senior are you watching?"
He came from Xianling City. After coming to Tiandi City, he only told one person, Gongmen Ding, and this person actually revealed the matter in one word.
Either this person has been monitoring him and overheard his conversation with Gongmen Ding, or Gongmen Ding told this person about him!
Either way, it's obviously not a good thing for him.
"You can say that!" The mysterious man did not think otherwise.
"Senior, why are you watching me?" Duan Qing frowned even more tightly.
"You really... don't know anything?" The mysterious man did not answer Duan Qing's question, but asked instead.
Duan Qing was very puzzled: "Senior, what do you think I should know?"
"How did you enter the black prison?" the mysterious man asked again.
"Since senior knows the conversation I had with senior Gongmen, I should know very well how I entered the dark prison!" Duan Qing probed.
The mysterious man was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Have you ever heard of the name Wuhuji?"
Wuhuji!
There was a huge wave in Duan Qing's heart. It took him a few breaths to calm down, and he responded seemingly calmly.
"No, I have never heard of this name before!"
"Really? Then why is there his aura on your body?" the mysterious man asked.
"Senior is joking. I am from the human race, how can I have the aura of the Sui race on my body?" Duan Qing pretended to be calm.
"I never said that Wuhuji belongs to the Sui clan!" the mysterious man said in an aggressive tone.
The lie was exposed, Duan Qing was a little flustered, and after thinking for a while, he immediately replied: "Wuhu is a noble surname, and my human and demon races do not have this surname."
"Very smart, he really did not choose the wrong person!" The mysterious man's voice revealed a hint of relief, but more of loneliness and complexity.
Duan Qing could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Who is the senior?"
The mysterious man sighed deeply: "Hey, it seems that he really didn't tell you anything!"
"That's right, he has always been cautious, and he suffered such a big loss in your Xianling League. It's normal that he didn't tell you about me!"
