Boom boom...

In the clear sky, low thunder could be heard faintly, and the sunlight dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if an invisible giant hand had covered the sky.

In just a moment, chaotic clouds emerged from nothingness and covered the city. Lightning surged, and the dim city became dull and depressing.

Looking up at the sky, you can see outside Cangnan City, golden sunlight shining from the edge of the dark clouds, but it cannot shine into Cangnan City at all, as if it has been isolated from all external influences... including light.

Like a vicious curse.

A strong wind is rising.

The corners of Lin Qiye's clothes were blown by the wind. He frowned and looked at the carriage in front of him. After a moment, he nodded.

"I am Lin Qiye." He paused and continued, "May I ask, sir, am I one of the five human ceilings... Master?"

Lin Qiye heard from Hongying that a human ceiling had recently come to Cangnan, and was driving a horse-drawn carriage. When he saw this scene in front of him, he immediately made the connection.

"Just call me Master Chen. Calling me the ceiling is too ugly. I don't know who came up with this crappy title." The old man's voice seemed a little unhappy. "Get in the car. I have something to say to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant boy who was driving the car stood up, opened the door behind him, and stood aside respectfully, waiting for Lin Qiye to enter.

Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and walked towards the carriage.

When he got closer, Lin Qiye realized that this carriage was a little different from the one he saw on TV, or rather, not as luxurious as he had imagined. There was no decoration, it was just made of some wooden boards with some simple carvings.

But if you look closely, you will find that the textures of these wooden boards are connected to each other, as if they condense the entire carriage into a whole, making people feel a little dazed at first glance.

Lin Qiye stepped onto the carriage and walked into the compartment, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The space inside the carriage is much larger than it looks from the outside. It is more like a study rather than a carriage. The walls are covered with ancient books and bamboo slips neatly placed on the bookshelf. In front of the bookshelf is a low table with a set of fine red sandalwood tea set on it. The faint scent of sandalwood floats in the air.

In the center, a white-haired old man sat cross-legged.

"Please sit down." Master Chen glanced at Lin Qiye, slowly brewed a pot of tea, and said calmly.

Lin Qiye sat down opposite Master Chen, his eyes fixed on the windows on both sides of the carriage. The dim and dreary bridge view outside was no longer there, replaced by a Chinese courtyard scene with birds singing and flowers blooming.

Lin Qiye was startled and asked subconsciously: "Master Chen, where are we?"

"On the bridge, but not on the bridge." Master Chen brewed some tea, handed a cup of tea to Lin Qiye, and said with a smile,

"My Forbidden Ruins can replace the scenery in my mind with the scenery outside. From a spatial perspective, we have not moved in the original place, but from another perspective, we have moved into the scenery in my mind."

The words were very profound, and Lin Qiye only vaguely understood them. Master Chen had no intention of explaining further, but slowly spoke to the outside of the carriage:

"drive."

The servant boy outside the carriage bowed and closed the door. At this moment, the aura of the Master and Lin Qiye disappeared instantly, as if they had never appeared.

The servant sat outside the carriage, drove the carriage, and drove in a random direction. The carriage penetrated all obstacles like a ghost, passed through the wall outside a commercial building, and traveled through the city like a phantom.

Inside the carriage, Lin Qiye looked at Master Chen who was leisurely drinking tea in front of him and couldn't help asking:

"Master Chen, why are you looking for me?"

Master Chen slowly put down the teacup in his hand, stared at Lin Qiye, and said calmly: "The divine aura that appeared a few days ago was caused by you, and the Flame Vein Earth Dragon was also killed by you."

Lin Qiye's heart skipped a beat, but he looked confused and asked doubtfully:

"What are you talking about?"

"You can play dumb, you can deny it, but the fact is the fact." Master Chen said calmly, "Even if the instructor surnamed Hong gave false testimony for you, your knife will not lie. Even if the rain washes away the blood on the blade, the dragon's blood still leaves traces on it...

This little trick may fool others, but it can't fool me."

Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, then said, "This only proves that I have injured the Earth Dragon, but it does not mean that the aura of the God is related to me."

Master Chen looked at Lin Qiye meaningfully, shook his head, and said slowly:

"Lin Qiye, you are not an ordinary person. We have known this for a long time...even earlier than you realized it yourself."

When Lin Qiye heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and doubts emerged in his heart.

"You don't want to admit it, which shows that you are very cautious, which is good. In fact, whether you admit it or not has nothing to do with me, because I don't care about this matter at all." Master Chen took a sip of tea carefully and continued.

"I didn't come to you to call you to task."

Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask: "Then why did you come to me?"

"I just want to see you and have some tea with you." Mr. Chen said with a smile on his face.

Lin Qiye: ...

"What? Do you dislike me?" Master Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"How is this possible... I am honored to drink tea with you, senior." Lin Qiye shook his head repeatedly, looked at the teacup in front of him helplessly, picked it up and took a sip, then said with gritted teeth, "This tea... is really good."

Lin Qiye grew up drinking boiled water. His family was so poor that he could not afford tea. The few times he drank tea were when he passed by a tea shop and was pulled in by the clerk to taste a few small cups for free...

How could he know anything about the tea ceremony?

But since Master Chen had spoken, he had no choice but to drink it.

Master Chen smiled brightly, and took out twelve bags of different teas from the cabinet next to him, placed them on the table one by one, and said with a smile:

"Come, come, I have a lot of good tea here. Let's taste it today."

Lin Qiye: ...

…

Suburban area of ​​Cangnan City.

Loki walked leisurely to the top of a small hill and overlooked the entire modern city in the distance. At this time, a large number of troops gathered at the entrances of all traffic roads in the city.

They blocked every road leading into the city, and within the security range, not even a bird could get through their fire blockade.

Loki raised the corner of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, sneered and said:

"With this ridiculous amount of strength, you think you can stop me?"

He took a step forward and hesitated again, with a cunning light flashing in his deep eye sockets.

"However, I still cannot determine the location of [Shiva's Grudge]... The subsequent chess pieces are already on their way, so there is no need for me to take risks. I just need to find a way to force [Shiva's Grudge] out..."

He seemed to have thought of something, and stretched out his hand behind him. Several strange hollow cracks appeared in the void behind him, and then the outlines of huge humanoid beasts were outlined.

"Let's get into chaos..."
