Xu Qing and the Black Divine Dog left Impermanence City.
The road out of the city was quite special, not using the city gates, but rather...
In any case, it wasn't a proper path. The Black Divine Dog explained that leaving through the city gates of Impermanence City made it easy to get tainted by misfortune.
What exactly that misfortune was, the Black Divine Dog didn't explain.
But Xu Qing didn't think it necessary to dwell on it.
Moreover, after leaving Impermanence City, Xu Qing noticed that the Black Divine Dog seemed relieved.
It said to Xu Qing, "If you stay in the Netherworld long enough, you'll understand that there's really nothing good about it, and Impermanence City even less so."
Xu Qing was curious, "I've observed this city, and it seems alright to me, at least not that bad."
The Black Divine Dog sighed, "Life in Impermanence City lacks humanity."
