Ruins of the past

Judging from Chu Qiguang's relaxed and natural appearance, and even his ability to recite poetry, the gatekeeper really felt that everything seemed to be normal with him.

This is exactly Chu Qiguang's purpose, to make the other party feel relaxed and at ease, just hoping to read a few more pictures.

This longing stirred in his heart, causing him to look at the janitor expectantly.

But the gatekeeper still shook his head: "Many years ago, there was a person like you who behaved normally after reading the book. We also thought he was special and let him read the whole book..."

"It wasn't until half a year later that he dug out his heart."

The gatekeeper said solemnly: "Chu Qiguang, even if you are better able to resist the erosion of these evil knowledge than others, you cannot underestimate them."

“Many times, changes are subtle and difficult to detect.”

“We must be respectful and cautious when exploring this knowledge.”

Chu Qiguang's heart trembled after hearing these words. Reflecting on his current state, he felt that there seemed to be some uncontrollable desire and obsession in his heart, and he acted too impatiently.

The gatekeeper's words were like a basin of ice, instantly suppressing the desire in his heart.

'The gatekeeper is right. Even if I have the appearance of being relegated to an immortal, it does not mean that I am invincible. Caution should still be exercised when exploring these taboos. ’

‘The desire I had just now, maybe it was the influence of this knowledge on me that caused me to not be as cautious as before. ’

So he nodded instructively: "You are right, then let's continue in ten days."

When the gatekeeper saw Chu Qiguang's appearance, he forced a smile on his face: "It's good that you understand. Let me give you another piece of advice. This was told to me by a demon-suppressing envoy from the Demon-Suppressing Department in the past. "

The Demon-Suppressing Envoy is the top leader of the Demon-Suppressing Division, and he must be a strong Taoist.

Upon hearing the warning from a past demon-suppressing priest, Chu Qiguang immediately listened carefully.

"Knowledge attracts each other." The gatekeeper said slowly: "After you continue to explore the dark secrets hidden in history... you will find that the more you know, the more knowledge will come to you. ."

"They are like cups of thirst-quenching poison, constantly pulling you toward the abyss."

…

Following the gatekeeper's warning, Chu Qiguang followed Lin Lan towards the door of the big library.

Along the way, Chu Qiguang was thinking about today's harvest. Lin Lan, who was walking in front, held an oil lamp, but always looked back at Chu Qiguang from time to time.

Whenever she saw the serious thinking look on Chu Qiguang's face, the girl couldn't help but look at him a few more times, then turned away with a blush on her face.

Chu Qiguang recalled what he read on the paper today and thought in his mind:

"In the Vajra Temple, it seems that they are deliberately spreading the Sumeru King Sutra. Instead of warning them about the harmful effects of the sutra, they have been encouraging them to practice."

"Also... the 'Abbot' has been encouraging other monks to read more Buddhist scriptures. Could it be that the "Sutra of Mount Sumeru King" requires knowledge from Buddhist scriptures?"

Chu Qiguang recalled that in the past month, in order to check the knowledge of various religions, he traced the traces of Tianjian Sect, Wuwei Sect and Zifu Secret Book, and it seemed that he had indeed read some Buddhist scriptures.

‘We will know after testing it in a few days. ’

At this time, Chu Qiguang seemed to have noticed something strange about the girl, and took the initiative to say: "Miss Lin, thank you very much for today."

When Lin Lan heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Brother Chu, you are so good at it. I'm just giving you a little help."

Chu Qiguang immediately shook his head. Of course he knew how much help Lin Lan had helped.

If the other person hadn't been helping him with the janitor, he didn't know how long it would have been before he could see the books on the second floor.

Even if you can read the books on the second floor, they may not be related to your own goals such as Tianjian Sect, Wuwei Sect, and Vajra Temple like this time.

"This woman is of great value. At least until I finish reading the books in the big library, I have to rely on her and maintain a good relationship with her." ’

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang quickly praised and flattered her again, making Lin Lan's branches tremble and her face flushed with embarrassment.

When he was almost in front of the gate, Chu Qiguang said again: "By the way, I happen to be in charge of purchasing things from down the mountain recently. Miss Lin, if you want anything, you can tell me."

Lin Lan's heart moved when she heard this, and she said with some embarrassment: "I...I want some latest collection of poems. I don't know if it's troublesome."

"A collection of poems?" Chu Qiguang's heart moved. No wonder the other party admired her so much after hearing her reciting poems. This woman turned out to like poetry.

He immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the next time I go down the mountain, even if I search the whole place nearby, I will definitely find a collection of poems for you."

Lin Lan nodded lightly when he heard this, said goodbye to each other, and watched Chu Qiguang walk out of the big library.

Until Chu Qiguang's figure disappeared on the stone path, she still leaned on the stone door without moving.

Lin Lan has stayed in this dark, cold library since she was born.

She has been surrounded by darkness and books all year round, and her only friend is the lifeless old man the janitor.

Even though her appearance became more and more beautiful with age, she was always shrouded in the darkness of the big library and never saw the light.

These days, Chu Qiguang's daily companionship seemed to add color to her gloomy life.

"Are you still watching? Everyone has left."

When Lin Lan heard this, he immediately turned around and said with a blushing face: "Grandpa Hai, why are you here?"

The gatekeeper said angrily: "I haven't seen you come back after waiting for a long time. I thought you were kidnapped."

Hearing this, the slender girl lowered her head in embarrassment and whispered: "How...how could it be possible?"

The gatekeeper sighed and said, "Oh... what a sin."

Lin Lan asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Grandpa Hai? Isn't Brother Chu okay today? I said he will definitely be able to do it, maybe this time..."

The gatekeeper shook his head and said nothing. He just looked at Lin Lan with a complicated expression, and finally left with heavy steps.

The stone door of the big library closed again at some point, and the entire building was once again shrouded in darkness and silence.

…

Chu Qiguang on the other side had already rushed back to the Big Stone Courtyard.

He first tested the new gift he received today - the skin of dragon and snake.

This requires him to injure himself slightly first, and then he can see the self-healing effect of the dragon and snake skin.

Then he discovered that whether it was scratches or bruises on his body, or bruises on his organs or muscles, he could heal himself by shedding his skin.

‘The ability to heal oneself has improved more than ten times compared to the past. ’

‘It’s just that the way it starts is a bit strange. ’

As the Hunyuan Taiyi Demonic Power operated, the skin on Chu Qiguang's back gradually cracked.

At this moment, the shed skin seemed to have turned into a shell, and Chu Qiguang emerged directly from the crack on the back of the 'shell'.

After he came out, there was even a trace of mucus flowing on his body, and the bruises and scratches left by the rocks had all disappeared.

Looking at it from the ground, there is still a complete 'shell'. If you don't look carefully, you will even think that another Chu Qiguang is lying on the ground.
