casket of old days

Chapter 164 Gifts
"Blessing?"

"Whose gift?"

Chu Qiguang didn't know, but when the purple flames around the ring of ignorance burned, and the strangeness in it came into his eyes, he knew that it was called a gift.

A sharp burning pain came from his eyes, as if a flame was burning his eyes.

In almost an instant, Chu Qiguang felt that his eyes seemed to be completely burned to ashes, but they returned to their original state in the next moment.

At the same time, another secret appeared in his mind again.

'The eyes of the seeker... It is said that the first seekers were able to see the gift of heaven. '

' But after an unforgivable mistake, all eyes were blinded by reason. '

' And now, these eyes allow humans to see what they were not allowed to see. '

He looked up, and there was still a faint eye of the oil lamp in front of him, and the darkness surging around seemed endless.

"No change?"

Chu Qiguang subconsciously looked at his body, his expression suddenly suffocated.

Then he saw that his shadow reflected by the lights seemed to have turned into a pool of black sludge, and some kind of living thing was writhing in it.

Chu Qiguang stepped back cautiously, and the living creature seemed to feel something, and it shot out with a swish.

Seeing this scene, Chu Qiguang's blood exploded instantly, his legs swelled, and he dodged like a phantom.

But under his extreme dodge, the living creature followed like a shadow, wrapping around his calf unaffected.

But Chu Qiguang didn't have any tactile sense of his calf, which was clearly entangled.

He just stopped to take a closer look, and found that what was wrapping him...was a tentacle protruding from the shadow.

The tentacled human forearm is thick, black in color, and looks weird and deformed.

After wrapping Chu Qiguang's calf, it still twisted and curled slightly, like a real living thing.

But Chu Qiguang stretched out his hand to touch it, but found that his hand intuitively passed through the tentacles, as if passing through a phantom.

Then Chu Qiguang walked around again, and found that with the change of the shadow under his feet, the tentacle was always attached to his body... like a shadow.

Only when he walked into the darkness where even the firelight could not illuminate the shadows, would these tentacles disappear from his eyes.

"This is... a gift?" Chu Qiguang touched his eyes, with questions in his heart.

"This tentacle... I should be able to see it after my eyes have been transformed by the Ring of Foolishness."

"That is to say, this tentacle has already been wrapped around my body?"

"But is this tentacle some kind of strange creature? Or some kind of phantom? Some kind of symbol?"

Chu Qiguang thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he walked to the desk again, picked up the "Inquiry into the Origin of Immortal Dao" and read it again.

Because of the Ring of Fool just now, he has completely forgotten the contents of the book.

Now he was about to take a good look at why he got such a pair of eyes after dedicating the contents of this book to the Ring of Fool.

After reading "Inquiry into the Origin of Immortal Dao" again from beginning to end, Chu Qiguang has already memorized all the contents in the book in his mind.

But he still doesn't know why the Ring of Fool is interested in this book.

"The content of this book is nothing more than an origin exploration compiled based on some rumors, unofficial history, and the dictation of the Taoist priests."

"From the author's self-report, some of them may still be wrong."

"Is the Ring of Fool interested in the history of the Immortal Dao?"

After thinking about it, Chu Qiguang couldn't figure it out, but the Ring of Foolishness on his chest still exuded a slight sense of heat, and the purple flames swirled slightly outside the black hole.

"Find another one to read?"

An irrepressible curiosity welled up in Chu Qiguang's heart.

But not long after he walked towards the bookshelf, a voice came from behind him: "The midnight is approaching, the big library will be closed, why don't you leave?"

Chu Qiguang turned his head to look, and saw the gatekeeper coming out of the darkness, his pale face gradually exposed to the firelight, and he smiled silently at him.

Chu Qiguang subconsciously looked at the gatekeeper's feet.

Then he found the other party's mud-like shadow... a total of two tentacles stretched out, one left and one right curled around his legs.

The end of one tentacle was still curling and twitching slightly.

"What's the matter?" The janitor looked at his feet and said hehe: "Tired? Or... did you see something you shouldn't have seen?"

Chu Qiguang's complexion changed slightly, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

The gatekeeper said quietly: "Mysterious knowledge is always easy to fascinate and make people crazy, but sometimes after reading too many books, there will always be some fantasies or even hallucinations. At this time, you are about to be enchanted."

"Are you enchanted?" Chu Qiguang nodded, but he felt that what he saw was not a hallucination, let alone enchanted.

Then Chu Qiguang followed the gatekeeper to leave the big library, and asked on the way: "Will the big library be closed every night before midnight?"

The janitor nodded: "It closes at midnight every night and opens after noon. If you want to come and read, don't forget the time."

The two, one in front of the other, gradually disappeared into the endless darkness.

……

In Chu Qiguang's dormitory, Li Chu, who looked a little shy... was dragged in by the dark-skinned Zhang Haizhu.

"Come here!" Zhang Haizhu carelessly pulled the other party to sit at the desk, picked up his notes and said, "Didn't you say that you didn't memorize everything in class? Use mine to copy."

Li Chu nodded, thanked him, and quickly opened Zhang Haizhu's notes and copied them.

Seeing the performance of so many geniuses today, Li Chu also felt a lot of pressure.

Because he didn't take all the notes in class, he wanted to borrow someone else's notes to copy as soon as he returned to the dormitory. When he met Zhang Haizhu, he was called over.

But after turning a few pages, Li Chu smiled helplessly and said, "Hai Zhu, you don't have all the notes I have."

"Huh? Really?" Zhang Haizhu scratched his head embarrassedly.

Jiang Longyu, who was reviewing the handout, laughed when he heard this.

Zhang Haizhu cast Jiang Longyu a glance when he heard this, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Li Chu asked: "Jiang... Mr. Jiang, can you lend me your notes? I didn't take them all in class."

Jiang Longyu said bluntly, "No."

Zhang Haizhu said: "You asked him what he borrowed. I think he almost fell asleep listening to it in class. I don't remember as much as I do."

Jiang Longyu laughed, and sighed while looking at the handout in his hand: "Alas... the handout that Lecturer Yi Shuang copied by himself is good for everything, but there are too many contents, I can't finish reading it."

"Forget it, I'd better find the lecturer and tell me about it."

As he spoke, he stood up, put the handouts in his hands into his cabinet, and locked it with a big lock.

"I'll say it again, if anyone steals my things, don't blame me and report directly to the coach to drive them out."
