As you can see from the mobile phone map, the party location is not very far from here.
The red route is a winding one and takes about thirty minutes to walk.
I looked at the time and saw that it was not far from 7:30 pm.
Cheng Lin thought for a while, and instead of taking a taxi, he drove the navigation and decided to walk there.
This is his second time coming to this city. The contrast between the ruined scene in the deduction and the prosperity in reality is very interesting.
The streets were full of young men and women, the traffic was busy, and the lights were flashing, which formed a very sharp contrast with the dilapidation caused by the disaster.
Along the way, Cheng Lin heard many people talking about projection.
"Is the projection really transparent? This is so weird."
"It's indeed strange, but that sea area has been blocked. I watched a short video someone posted. The government tied red pontoons with ropes and formed a large circle on the sea for marking."
"It's been so long and it still hasn't solidified. This time it seems to solidify very slowly. Do you think there are any changes? It's just like last time."
"I can't say for sure, who knows?"
People talked about it casually, as if it had become a hot topic.
In the darkening sky, a warm breeze blew slowly, causing Cheng Lin to squint his eyes and walk leisurely along the road. He did not take the initiative to activate any skills, but with the superb hearing of a practitioner, he was able to collect all the sounds along the way.
.
I don't know why, but seeing these people's curious faces and discussions full of inquiring minds, Cheng Lin suddenly felt very happy, and a smile line involuntarily appeared on his face.
But those men and women who were discussing projections and practitioners had no idea that the mastermind behind the projections was on an inconspicuous street in this colorful world, wearing a blue and black plaid shirt, with his hands in his pockets, talking leisurely to them.
Passed by.
This feels good.
…
Unfortunately, this feeling only lasted for thirty-five minutes.
Cheng Lin's footsteps had to stop.
He arrived at the destination for the dinner party.
To be precise, it was still dozens of meters away from the target.
But he had to stop.
Then the smile on his face disappeared and turned into confusion.
I looked at the map navigation, then looked at the scenery in front of me to confirm that it was correct, but...
"Why is there only one wall here?"
…
Yes.
There was only one wall in front of him.
The surrounding area is not bad. It is a small commodity street, but it is not too prosperous. A huge office building stands not far away.
The densely packed windows that are dozens of stories high are white and translucent, and the entire building casts a huge shadow on the ground in the darkening night.
The time was around 7:20 pm.
This street seemed a bit deserted, with few people visible, but a roadside food stall suddenly appeared here.
As for Cheng Lin, there was indeed a wall in front of him.
Very ordinary, a wall connected to the buildings on both sides.
Looking around, there are no restaurants or hotels here. From any angle, it doesn't look like a place for a dinner party.
"Wrong navigation?"
Cheng Lin couldn't help but have this idea. It was normal, but it was a bit wrong.
The location marked on the map is a restaurant called "Wangyou", with a slightly literary name. You can find it by walking a few dozen meters further from the mark on the map, but there is a wall here.
Cheng Lin raised his gaze and looked across the wall, making sure that there was no restaurant-like building behind the wall.
"what happened?"
Cheng Lin wanted to ask in the group, but after hesitating, he still didn't. He turned and looked at the shoe repair stall on the roadside.
A very simple stall with a small cart and looks very clean.
There are red plastic letters stuck on the outside of the glass, which describe popular snacks from all over the country, such as pancakes, fruit, and grilled gluten.
There was also a dazzling incandescent light bulb hanging on the car, and a stocky old man in a gray coat stood inside, smoking a cigarette that cost a few cents each.
Well, this scene is really weird.
At the very least, in Cheng Lin's opinion, it revealed a very special kind of weirdness.
"buy what?"
Seeing Cheng Lin approaching, the man raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
"If you don't want to buy anything, I want to ask you for directions." Cheng Lin shook his head and said.
The man took a sip and blew out a lonely stream of green smoke from his left nostril. Well, it looked like he had a cold, and he spoke in a husky voice: "Ask for directions? Where are you going?"
"I heard that there is a restaurant called 'Wangyou' nearby."
"Hey, that place is so expensive."
"You know?" Cheng Lin blinked.
"I know. I'll let you know when I buy something, otherwise there's no need to talk."
So tough?
Cheng Lin looked at him, blinked, and said, "Then let's have some pancakes and fruit."
"one thousand."
The man said casually.
"What?" Cheng Lin looked at him.
"Pancake fruit, one thousand, plus sausages, five hundred, and eggs, eight hundred."
"..."
Cheng Lin did not speak, but looked at the other party deeply. An extremely fine aura field appeared in the depths of his eyes and slowly rotated.
The first-grade superpower Hazy Eyes is activated.
As expected, this ordinary stall owner had a spiritual energy radiating from him.
"Practitioner?"
he asks.
"Do you want to buy it or not?" The other party ignored him and just said.
Cheng Lin didn't answer. He turned around and returned to the wall.
This time, he activated the second-grade superpower wide-area vision.
The angle of view increased, with him as the center, the angle of view slowly increased and expanded, until it suddenly turned into a thick black mist that could not be observed within a radius of more than ten meters, and everything in front of him appeared in his eyes with a new look.
The originally ordinary-looking wall exuded a brilliant brilliance, and nets woven from aura fields blocked in front of him.
Through the mesh, you can vaguely see that this is an alley. The lights are brightly lit in the depths of the alley, and further in, it is beyond the scope of wide-area vision.
"interesting."
Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the location was not wrong, but it was hidden by some kind of supernatural power?
What a weird power. Is it visual deception? Or what?
He stretched out his hand and touched the wall. It was hard, cold, and very thick. If he hadn't turned on his wide-area vision, he would never have seen anything unusual.
Tentatively, he gathered his strength and punched the wall.
Cheng Lin has increased his physical fitness many times, and now he is at the second level of cultivation. In terms of pure strength, he is no less than a first-level physical monk. His punch is equivalent to a full-strength blow of a first-level monk.
"boom!"
The wall made a muffled sound, and the aura fields flickered, but there was no damage. The entire wall was actually intact.
Huh?
It's interesting, it doesn't seem to be the power of physics and elements, but more like the construction of supernatural powers in the spiritual realm.
Cheng Lin found it interesting, and the stall owner next to him also breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a slightly sarcastic expression, saying: "No need to try, a mere first-grade monk still wants to force his way into the alley of practitioners? I advise you not to waste your efforts.
, I have seen a lot of physical monks like you, but in the end I decided to pay the toll honestly to get in. One thousand yuan is not expensive for a monk."
Cheng Lin's heart moved.
Is this called the alley of practitioners?
It’s interesting. It’s impossible to stay in the academy and not come out. I didn’t expect that something like this has appeared outside.
It seems that the stall owner plays a role like a gatekeeper.
Seeing myself punching, I thought I was a first-grade physical monk.
Cheng Lin nodded in his mind and sorted out the cause and effect. He wasn't angry, he just found it interesting.
As for tolls and stuff...
Cheng Lin smiled slightly: "This door is not worth a thousand."
The stall owner was slightly startled. Before he could react, he saw a more obscure and sharp wave appear on the young man in front of him.
The second-grade superpower spiritual storm was activated, and the spiritual energy was wrapped with spiritual shock and shot out from the center of the eyebrows, bombarding the wall. Suddenly, a big hole was opened in the network composed of the spiritual energy field.
Cheng Lin stepped forward easily, stepped into it, and his figure immediately disappeared.
The stall owner's eyes suddenly widened, and a cigarette he was holding on his fingertips fell to his pants, burning a small hole.
He looked surprised and astonished.
"He is... a second-grade monk?!"
