casket of old days

Chapter 197 A New Gift
Accompanied by a sharp shout, it came to both ears.

Chu Qiguang felt that it had nothing in common with any sound he had heard.

But for all the grotesqueness of the shrill cry, there was an indescribable, gripping magic about it.

The more Chu Qiguang listened to it, the more fascinated he became.

It seemed that as the tone of the sharp shout changed, and as the content of the shout became more bizarre, his consciousness also escaped from the shackles of the physical body.

I came to a magnificent and majestic golden palace filled with infinite light and heat, and saw tall and grotesque figures standing in it.

Words cannot describe those figures, and no language can describe that grotesque thing full of screams, madness, and heat.

"It's hard to be stingy..."

Strange incantations kept pouring into Chu Qiguang's brain, and all common sense in the real world and the material world seemed to be stripped away in this hall.

But until this moment, Chu Qiguang could feel that his consciousness still maintained a sliver of rationality, and he thought that it should be the role of Qiao Zhi's "capital of banishing immortals", which made him extremely sensitive to these extraordinary phenomena. Strong endurance.

But in the next moment, the many illusions in front of him suddenly disappeared. Chu Qiguang looked at the pages and desk in front of him, and the knowledge about King Kong Temple, Buddha disease, and Buddhas in his head disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, a gift surged out from the ring of fools.

Chu Qiguang felt unprecedented pleasure from it.

He thought to himself: 'Has the knowledge I just read been sucked away by the ring of fools? '

At this time, he found that the gifts gushing out of the circle of stupidity seemed to want to go in three directions, namely the brain, heart, and skin.

Chu Qiguang felt that he seemed to be able to choose the direction of the gift, so of course he chose the skin without hesitation.

After all, he doesn't know what the effect of this gift is. The heart and brain are so important, so it's better not to try indiscriminately.

After the gift poured into his flesh and blood, the Hunyuan Taiyi magic art also started to work.

Chu Qiguang felt that he was accompanied by severe pain and a feeling of burning flames. His skin and flesh did not seem to have changed at all, but he had gradually turned into an inhuman posture in the calm.

'This is... the skin of the dragon snake? '

At the same time, knowledge about this gift flooded his brain.

……

Legend has it that snakes evolved from ancient dragons.Snakes can grow by shedding their skin, which contains the power of dragons.

Covering the whole body with snake skin can improve the ability of self-healing.But gradually they will become addicted to hunting and intercourse, completely forgetting their identity as human beings.

Whether it is martial arts or Taoism, the power associated with dragons is the same.Mortals who worship dragons will surely sink into the abyss.

……

Chu Qiguang felt the changes in his skin a little bit, as well as the knowledge that came with the gifts.

However, he didn't have time to think about it in this big library, so he continued to look at the page about the King Kong Temple in front of him.

He read it again, and these taboo materials were recorded in his brain again.

Chu Qiguang also saw and heard the sharp shout again, as well as the treasure hall shrouded in endless flames.

But this time the auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations were not as strong as last time. After Chu Qiguang struggled hard several times, he felt that he was temporarily freed from these strange phenomena.

The gatekeeper and Lin Lan on the side watched Chu Qiguang turn over and read the front and back of the page repeatedly, with shock on their faces.

Although the janitor himself has not read the contents of this sheet, in his long life, he has witnessed many members of Zhenmusi read this sheet.

Especially the hunter school that inherits the "Sumeri Moving Mountain Strength", members of it often try to read relevant materials of the King Kong Temple to find a way to master the "Sumeru Moving Mountain Strength".

Some of them started to go crazy after reading it, chanting indistinguishable strange spells, walking back and forth... as if they wanted to touch something.

Still others suffer from hallucinations for years to come, and end up possessing demons... or committing suicide.

Some people will pass out on the spot, and then gradually forget what they saw today in the next few days.

Those with the best luck will also be plagued by nightmares in the next few days, and will need a long period of self-cultivation to recover.

But right now...

Lin Lan said with some hesitation: "Grandpa Hai, Brother Chu just...turned the page back to the front...and then turned to the second side...Did he read it a second time?"

The janitor's eyes were also full of doubts: "No... I don't know. But according to common sense, even if people don't go crazy, they will have other problems when they read this dark knowledge for the first time. How can he look so normal?"

After reading this diary of King Kong Temple, Chu Qiguang felt that there was still more to say.

He raised his head to look at the gatekeeper, and couldn't help but ask, "What's next?"

The gatekeeper said, "Do you still want to see it?"

Seeing Chu Qiguang nodding, the gatekeeper quickly shook his head and said, "You can only read one book at a time. If you want to read it, you have to wait another ten days. This is the rule of the big library."

"Ten days?" Chu Qiguang said with a face full of disappointment: "It took ten days to update a chapter, it's too long."

The gatekeeper said solemnly: "The knowledge on the second floor all contains evil powers. Continuous reading will lead people to madness, or even demonization."

"But I'm fine." Chu Qiguang stood up, opened his arms and twirled around: "Look, I'm still fine after seeing this one."

"I think I'll be fine even if I finish reading this book in one sitting today."

Chu Qiguang felt the longing in his heart for the follow-up pages, and sighed: "I think if I don't let me finish reading today, I will feel uncomfortable all over, maybe I will be enchanted."

The janitor looked at Chu Qiguang's relaxed appearance, and was even able to joke with him in the end, the shock in his eyes was even stronger.

He asked suspiciously: "Are you really okay? Didn't you see some kind of illusion? Didn't you hear any strange whispers?"

Looking at the golden figure that suddenly disappeared in the room, Chu Qiguang didn't intend to say it at all: "It's just a hallucination, there is nothing to be afraid of." '

He shook his head calmly: "I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything."

Lin Lan said in surprise, "Brother Chu, you are so amazing, it's all right."

Chu Qiguang said modestly: "It's nothing. When I was 14 years old, I climbed a mountain in my hometown and saw a bamboo forest. At that time, my heart was touched and I wrote a poem to express my ambition..."

As he said that, without waiting for the two of them to ask, Chu Qiguang chanted on the spot: "Don't let go of the green hills, the roots are originally in the broken rocks. Thousands of blows are still strong, let the wind from east to west..."

When Lin Lan heard it, her eyes lit up again, as if she felt the author's tenacity and persistence contained in the poem.

Seeing Lin Lan's adoring look, the gatekeeper quickly said, "That's all, all right, who told you to recite poetry again."
