Ruins of the past

‘Lin Lan? ’

This time, Chu Qiguang finally saw the other party's appearance clearly in the dream.

But looking at Lin Lan, who had long black hair and a pair of aqua eyes, Chu Qiguang was a little surprised.

‘How could it be her? What does she want to do? ’

The Lin Lan in front of her was not as shy and weak as Chu Qiguang's impression. Instead, she had a seductive expression on her face and was looking at 'himself' with interest.

‘No, who is she looking at? ’

Just when Chu Qiguang wanted to figure out what Lin Lan was doing in front of him, the sensor he had seen in his dream had been disconnected again.

He opened his eyes and saw that he had returned to the small stone courtyard.

‘Lin Lan…this woman has secrets that I don’t know about. ’

‘In the end, she didn’t even know who she was looking at? Will he be looking at Jiang Longyu like the last time he was in the dormitory? ’

‘Unfortunately, I don’t know where that room is. ’

Thinking back to the few times he had returned to his dormitory, the scene in his dream did not seem to have happened.

Chu Qiguang still planned to go to the big library to look for Lin Lan this time to see if he was in the big library at the moment.

Walking through the road full of stone statues, we came to the stone door of the big library and started knocking on it.

This time, when Chu Qiguang was taken in by the gatekeeper, he took the initiative and said, "Is Lin Lan here? I'm here to see her."

The doorman stopped for a moment and said in a stiff tone: "Boy, don't think that I don't know what your intentions are. You have been trying to please Lin Lan all day long, but all you want is the books on the second floor, right?"

Chu Qiguang chuckled and said: "Uncle, you misunderstood me. I really want to read the books on the second floor, but Lin Lan and I can become good friends only because we are in love."

The gatekeeper snorted: "Glib."

Chu Qiguang really hoped that the janitor would smash out a pile of books at once, then point at him and shout: "Here are a thousand books on the second floor. After you take them, don't see Lin Lan again."

It's a pity that the other party didn't say anything like this at all, but just sighed: "The second floor of the big library...the books there record the dark and twisted secrets buried deep in history. If it weren't for their own value, it would be inestimable. It has been destroyed long ago.”

"You are as full of curiosity about history as I was when I was young, but this does not mean that you should explore the mysteries beyond human imagination and the depths that make people crazy and fascinated just to satisfy your curiosity."

Chu Qiguang looked at the slightly trembling gatekeeper, and seemed to hear a sense of fear and confusion in the other person's tone.

That is the emotion that humans instinctively trigger when they see the unknown, something that goes beyond common sense and goes against common sense.

The gatekeeper finally warned: “Since ancient times, human beings have never stopped studying the past, but in the end it often only leads to one disaster after another.

Our greatest luck may be that no one knows all the secrets. "

Chu Qiguang probed: "Have you read the books on the second floor?"

After seeing that the other party was silent, Chu Qiguang continued: "If nothing happens to you, why don't you let me try it too? As a member of the Demon Suppression Division, I will be exposed to these things sooner or later."

"If that doesn't work, you can first take a look at the one you think is the most harmless."

Speaking of this, Chu Qiguang said confidently: "And...I am afraid that I am already the best talent among the people recruited by the Demon Suppression Division over the years, right? If even I can't watch it, who else can watch this?" Are there books on the second floor?”

After hearing these words, the gatekeeper was silent and seemed to be really thinking.

But after a while, he still shook his head: "No, it takes only one month to go up the mountain to the second floor of the big library. There is no such case in history. You should practice for a few more years before talking."

Then he sneered: "Besides, speaking of the best, I'm afraid it's Jiang Longyu, the Eight Generals of the Prosperous Han Dynasty, not you."

Hearing what the gatekeeper said, Chu Qiguang immediately said, "What if I beat Jiang Longyu in this little competition?"

Chu Qiguang's situation...the gatekeeper thought he knew it quite well, and was proficient in fist palm and horizontal kung fu.

This type of martial arts can only gradually close the gap with various weapons and martial arts when it reaches the fifth level, as the practitioner's physical strength, body, and skills continue to deepen.

Although most of the third and fourth realm warriors focus on boxing and strive to improve their martial arts realm.

But there are also some geniuses like Chu Qiguang and Jiang Longyu who can distract themselves from practicing kung fu and weapons.

Such geniuses often have an advantage when fighting against warriors of the same level.

'But in the third stage, Chu Qiguang's horizontal kung fu was completely defeated by Jiang Longyu. No matter what, there was no way he could defeat Jiang Longyu who was holding a sword. ’

Just when the gatekeeper was thinking this, Chu Qiguang on the side seemed to have seen through his thoughts and smiled: "You think I can't beat Jiang Longyu, right? If that's the case, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

The gatekeeper asked unexpectedly: "A bet?"

"Not bad." Chu Qiguang's voice seemed to be full of bewitching power at this moment. He looked at the gatekeeper and said slowly: "If I beat Jiang Longyu this time, then you can show me the book on the second floor. If I lose If you give it to Jiang Longyu, I will never bother you and Lin Lan again."

Hearing this, the gatekeeper's eyes moved slightly, and he thought to himself: 'Let's just use Jiang Longyu as a shield to make him give up completely and save Lin Lan from being involved all the time. ’

Thinking of this, he said: "If you can beat Jiang Longyu, I will consider it. But if you lose, give up completely and stop bothering Lin Lan."

Chu Qiguang's eyes lit up: "That's settled."

Next, the janitor took Chu Qiguang to a familiar desk, left without saying a word.

"Lin Lan is still resting. I'll call him. You wait here and don't run around."

Chu Qiguang sat in front of his desk, looking towards the direction that should be the second floor, but could only see darkness.

The Ring of Foolishness on the chest seemed to burn with a purple flame, and the constant heat reminded Chu Qiguang of its desire for the knowledge upstairs.

'It's almost here, it's almost here... I might be able to find clues to the secret of the Zi Mansion that I want to find now. ’

While waiting for Lin Lan, Chu Qiguang kept thinking about ways to defeat Jiang Longyu one after another in his mind.

‘If we fight head-on with the strength of the third level, even if we can win, we are likely to be injured. ’

‘My body is so precious, how can I take this risk? ’

‘We have to think of other ways to defeat Jiang Longyu more safely. ’

'But I can't be too mean, lest the coaches will be dissatisfied with me, and the gatekeeper may not admit it. ’

Just when Chu Qiguang ruled out underhanded methods such as stealing knives, drugging, and throwing feces, Lin Lan still didn't arrive.

Chu Qiguang thought to himself: 'I haven't been here for so long. Is Lin Lan really not in the library? ’

After nearly a stick of incense had passed, Lin Lan came belatedly and said with a sleepy look on his face: "Brother Chu?"

Chu Qiguang asked: "Have you been sleeping just now?"

Lin Lan nodded: "Yes, I stayed up very late yesterday cleaning up the library, and I was catching up on my sleep. Why did you come to the big library? Isn't it a little fun today?"

Chu Qiguang smiled calmly: "It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous and want to chat with you."
