Barrier of Light

Water droplets condense into steps.

Gu Nanfeng and Meng Xizhou walked together into the red lake.

Countless rays of light fell on him.

Even after undoing the restrictions left by the ancestor of light, Gu Nanfeng still couldn't see clearly the true appearance of the [Forbidden Library]. He only felt as if he was in front of a sun.

Under the majestic blazing light, even he felt the pressure.

He did come before the sun.

Because the God of Light stands in front of the Forbidden Library, he is the sun.

At this moment, the God of Light seems to be holding something in his palm.

That is a golden chain condensed by pure light. This is the restriction left by the ancestor of light!

He pulled up the chain, and the waves at the bottom of the entire Red Lake tightened and straightened... This was the reason for the "miracle" on the lakeside. At this moment, the library was brightly lit, and the door slowly opened.

"Such a grand scene is shocking."

Gu Nanfeng looked at this scene with a complicated expression.

In terms of quantity of source material, Red Lake cannot compare with Qingzhong... But the existence of [Forbidden Library] is something Qingzhong does not have.

"It's a pity that one person is missing."

Meng Xizhou sighed softly: "It would be great if Gu Shen was here too."

"..."

The God of Light who opened the Forbidden Library heard this, chuckled, and joked: "He walked so fast last night, he seemed to be frightened by my joke."

Meng Xizhou raised his eyebrows: "Master Shenzuo, are you kidding him?"

"A little joke."

The God of Light said calmly: "The Forbidden Library will not make an exception a second time... It is said that this place is a gift left by the God of Destiny. Since he does not want to come, then maybe this is also a part of fate. He is destined to It is destined not to be such a blessing."

Meng Xizhou had nothing to say.

"Okay. Take your time."

The old man urged: "I'll wait for you here."

…

…

There are of course many books in the Forbidden Library.

Even though Gu Nanfeng was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he walked into the pavilion filled with blazing light.

This turned out to be a circular tower.

Billions of books are stacked on the circular wall, and at a glance...it's impossible to see the end.

"Many people are curious about what the Forbidden Library looks like..."

Meng Xizhou smiled and said: "Because of the 'Holy Light' package, they have no chance to see the true appearance. But in fact, the true appearance is not important at all, because this so-called library is just a wonderful place."

Gu Nanfeng murmured: "How high is this library?"

"Very high. So high that you can't see the end."

Meng Xizhou raised his head and said calmly: "How high do you think a library like this can hold the answers to all the questions in the world?"

"That's really high, very high..."

Gu Nanfeng wanted to pick up a book and read it, but his outstretched palm was grabbed by Meng Xizhou.

"No."

Meng Xizhou said seriously: "Did you notice that your energy is being consumed?"

Gu Nanfeng's expression became solemn. Of course he noticed the loss of his mental power, but he understood the reason from the moment Meng Xizhou explained that this was a wonderful place.

This wonderland consumes the energy of those who enter it every second.

"The Forbidden Library is a place of gifts from fate... You bring questions to find answers. Regardless of whether you succeed or fail, you need to consume 'mental power'."

Meng Xizhou said slowly: "If you open the page of the book, it means that you are ready to officially start. From that moment on, your spirit will be consumed very quickly. When you are unable to maintain the 'spiritual consumption' of the wonderful realm, you will be Expelled from the library."

"I see."

Gu Nanfeng frowned slightly and asked, "What will happen if I empty my mind and turn the pages of the book?"

"Nobody knows."

Meng Xizhou said sincerely: "Destiny is like this, unknowable, unexplorable, and unpredictable... There should be no extraordinary person who can step into the [Forbidden Library]. Maybe you will get some guidance on a major issue, Maybe you won't get anything because you let your mind go. But one thing won't change. The moment you turn the page of the book, your mental energy will be consumed very quickly."

Even if fate favors it, the book-turner still has to pay a price, which is fair.

"still have a question."

Gu Nanfeng nodded: "Which book should I open..."

"it's the same."

Meng Xizhou said: "Perhaps the content of each book here is different, but under the guidance of fate, it will not affect which book you open. Opening it at will and selecting carefully will not make any difference. The difference is because the book you choose...is the one you are destined to open. Even if you change it midway or change your mind hundreds of times, the ending will be the same."

"……I see."

Gu Nanfeng nodded.

Just when he was about to enter concentration.

"This opportunity may only come once."

Meng Xizhou suddenly spoke.

Gu Nanfeng was startled and looked into Meng Xizhou's eyes.

From these clear eyes, he saw many unspeakable and unexplainable emotions.

Meng Xizhou said word by word with great seriousness: "Nanfeng... you must think clearly and carefully."

This sentence is very light but also very heavy.

Gu Nanfeng realized some deeper meanings. He took a breath and said slowly: "...Okay."

…

…

If you were given a chance to face your fate, what questions would you ask?

Most people care about their own destiny.

This is also the reason why the God of Light refuses to open the [Forbidden Library].

In a place of miracles related to destiny, every time a miracle is born, part of the power will be consumed... [Forbidden Library] will choose to refuse to answer many questions, but if it is open to the public, there will definitely be unnecessary losses.

So... you are qualified to step here.

Must be a valuable questioner.

Gu Nanfeng did not rush to open the pages of the book. He sat on the bottom floor of the library and carefully thought about the question he wanted to ask before standing up.

There are millions of books here.

Gu Nanfeng did not hesitate or hesitate, he directly chose the one he saw at first sight.

After opening it, the pages of the book were full of obscure ancient texts.

He couldn't understand every word here.

But... the moment he turned the page, his spirit was wrapped in the warm ocean current, and Gu Nanfeng felt that his spirit began to drain away quickly.

"boom!"

A violent explosion sounded in his ears.

Gu Nanfeng raised his head.

This tower-like library suddenly turned into a dark night sky. Every volume of books poured out and turned into stars in the sky. Meng Xizhou had disappeared, leaving only the vast space. His own collection of books was shattered, and he watched the stars in the sky above the library explode.

After the stars collapsed.

Gu Nanfeng saw countless scenes in an instant.

He is a lucky man.

He saw the answer he wanted.

…

…

Open your eyes again.

Gu Nanfeng saw Meng Xizhou who was still in a meditative state next to him. It was obvious that the latter was still "turning through the pages of the book."

This time "turning over the book" consumed 99% of his energy.

The extremely meager strand left was Gu Nanfeng's initiative to disconnect from the "book page".

He deliberately kept this bit of spirit as the price of paying for the wonderful realm. This bit of spirit could support him to sit cross-legged in this library and not be expelled immediately.

Huge amounts of information rolled through my mind.

People who see their destiny often have to pay a heavy price... If you only need to pay some energy, this price can almost be ignored.

But Gu Nanfeng's expression was very complicated, and there was no joy on his face.

Even his back was covered with cold sweat, and even Kirigakure's cloak was wet.

Gu Nanfeng stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He tried his best to use the breathing method... After a long time, he slowly regained the calmness in his heart.

After confirming that his mental state had returned to peace, Gu Nanfeng dared to walk out of the [Forbidden Library].

…

…

"What do you see?"

The God of Light who was waiting outside the library spoke immediately: "Don't be nervous... I'm just asking casually. It's okay if you don't want to say anything."

"No...it's nothing inconvenient."

Gu Nanfeng lowered his eyes and smiled, and said regretfully: "Master God, I didn't see anything... I don't seem to be favored by the God of Destiny. The scene in the library is spectacular, but I learned nothing."

"Oh, is that so?"

The old man stared at Gu Nanfeng and said gently: "There are very few people who are favored by fate. If you don't see anything, don't be discouraged. That is not necessarily a bad thing... Of course, if you want to see something, Destiny is too big, it involves fire, or the existence of the same taboo, it is normal to get nothing."

"How can Nanfeng dare to spy on the fire?"

Gu Nanfeng smiled and shook his head and said, "I just want to see the future situation and how Wuzhou can live a better life."

The God of Light smiled.

"They say that the young master of the Gu family has the world at his heart. This does seem like something you would do..."

The old man said slowly: "But is it possible that all you see is the world and the future?"

Gu Nanfeng was stunned for a moment and said sincerely: "I'm sorry for Nanfeng's stupidity."

"You should also care about 'her'."

When the old man said this, he turned his eyes slightly and looked into the library shrouded in blazing light.

Meng Xizhou was still flipping through the pages of the book.

Now at the bottom of the Red Lake, only Gu Nanfeng and the God of Light were alone.

"certainly……"

Gu Nanfeng laughed at himself and said: "I think you should be aware of the things between Meng Xizhou and me. Many years ago, I had an exchange of feelings with her. Today, if I can enter the library to take a look at my future destiny, I naturally want to see it." Look at the results with her.”

"So what's the result?"

The God of Light asked again: "You really didn't see anything?"

"really……"

Gu Nanfeng said helplessly: "Junior didn't see anything."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you really see something."

The God of Light said calmly: "There is a saying that there is a time when destiny must be there, but there is no time in life. Don't force it. In my opinion, it is exactly the opposite."

"Some things are really important. Even if you don't get the chance, you still have to try to force it."

"If you are determined to do something, the 'answer' revealed by the library is nothing..."

The old man paused for a long time and asked seriously: "The secret between you and Meng Xizhou after last night is no longer a secret. Since this matter is no longer a secret, why not tell the world openly and honestly?"

Gu Nanfeng was stunned: "What do you mean...?"

"What I mean is that if you really want something to happen with Meng Xizhou, then Guangming City can marry the Gu family."

The God of Light spoke calmly: "You and Meng Xizhou were fighting partners in Beizhou in the early years. Now you are the young master of the Gu family in Nagano, and she is the future owner of the temple. Your status is very suitable. If I agree, then Everyone in Guangming City will agree."
