Chapter 236 The Tragedy at Chaoyao Mountain 1
"During the struggle... I saw a strange change in her figure. This woman's lower body seemed to be melting and became somewhat transparent."

"Her face is getting paler, her tongue is getting longer and more flexible..."

"I tried to distinguish those features on her body with my hands and eyes..."

"During the period, she also struggled, and I pressed her on the desk..."

"I found that the characteristics of her overlapped with what I learned in the ghost class, some ghost characteristics..."

"That's when I realized... Lin Lan might be a ghost."

"It's an idiot among common ghosts, so... so she probably didn't discover her identity as a ghost."

Chu Qiguang thought about the content taught in the class. He knew that a fool is a ghost who lingers in this world because he is obsessed with something in the real world.

Some idiots are obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and some are addicted to martial arts, but their common feature... is that they are hard to distinguish from the outside, and even they themselves will forget that they are ghosts.

From Chu Qiguang's point of view, Lin Lan was obviously like this. Even after hugging Chu Qiguang, she didn't realize the fact that she was a ghost. She just thought that she couldn't help herself.

And Yi Shuang's purpose is to stimulate Lin Lan by imparting knowledge to Chu Qiguang.

Yi Shuang regards Chu Qiguang as a 'medicine' for Lin Lan in order to promote some kind of ghost transformation.

Chu Qiguang recalled the scene in his dream where Lin Lan went to meet Jiang Longyu.

He guessed that the plan that Yi Shuang wanted to achieve might also involve Jiang Longyu, one of the eight Xinghan generals.

Chu Qiguang said in his heart: "The powerful ghosts...have almost immortal power. Mortals can only expel them or try to save them, but they cannot be eliminated by force." '

And based on what Chu Qiguang has learned in the ghost class in the past six months, he guesses that Yi Shuang either wants to control Lin Lan and cultivate into "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts" by himself.

If Immortal Dao and Jiang Longyu are involved...

It is also possible that after controlling Lin Lan, he used the magic of immortality to possess Jiang Longyu, and combined with the undead medicine, he created a ghost-possessed living dead.

No matter which one it is, it will allow Yi Shuang to grasp the combat power of the Dao level in an instant.

So from that day on, in order not to irritate Lin Lan, Chu Qiguang chose to record those knowledge in his notebook, and then through the ring of ignorance, he forgot all of them.

Facing Yi Shuang, Chu Qiguang still pretended to be troubled by the "spirit", and told Yi Shuang about Lin Lan's strange situation.

After reading these in the notebook, Chu Qiguang let out a little breath: "But from what Qiao Zhi said, Yi Shuang and Changsheng Sanren failed."

"Even the entire Chaoyao Mountain people died, and it became a tragedy."

"It looks like... either when Immortal Dao robbed the second floor of the big library, it inadvertently triggered some kind of demon outbreak."

"Either Lin Lan lost control...and became a murderous ghost."

"Or a combination of both... Evil ghosts and demons."

Next, he memorized his speculations and experiences.

And the first half of the notebook...all the appalling knowledge in the first half was forgotten through the Ring of Foolishness.

After doing all this, Chu Qiguang immediately found that his eyes were much cleaner.

Except for the occasional high-pitched howls, blinding golden lights, and freaks running around, there were no other hallucinations.

Looking at the notebook with a black cover in his hand, Chu Qiguang slowly laughed, and let out bursts of deep laughter in the room.

Lin Lan, the big library, Yi Shuang, the living corpses, and those monsters attacking the mountain seemed to appear in front of his eyes...

Chu Qiguang stretched out his hand, and with the whistling of Gang Qi, he seemed to grasp everything in his palm.

……

In the blink of an eye, the time came to the night before the competition.

Looking at the process of tomorrow's competition and the list of students, Yang Ling gradually showed a smile on his face.

Everything was as he had imagined, one after another the students broke through to the fourth realm.

And Chu Qiguang, not to mention breaking through, has been obsessed with messy things all day long, and has made no progress in the realm of martial arts.

"Tomorrow, Chu Qiguang might be kicked out of his position as a student in the inner courtyard."

……

The chief instructor was writing a letter in front of the desk, which was about Jiang Longyu's recent situation, and also brought along other students by the way.

This is what he reports directly to the emperor every month, without the hands of any ministers or eunuchs, so that the emperor can directly control the town magic department.

When writing about Chu Qiguang, the head coach couldn't help but criticize severely, and finally concluded:
'...This child is casual and self-willed. Although he is talented, he is destined to be difficult to become a great tool, and he may not be able to be reused...'

……

Jiang Longyu wiped the long knife in his hand as usual, feeling his heart gradually calm down.

"Li He, you can be considered a genius."

"But tomorrow I will let everyone know that I, Jiang Longyu, are the strongest."

Jiang Longyu couldn't help but get excited when he thought of Li He's shocked, ashamed, angry and helpless appearance tomorrow.

Frustrating Li He in front of everyone was what he was most looking forward to in the past two months.

He suddenly touched his head: "Why do I feel sleepy again..."

……

In the jungle at the foot of Chaoyao Mountain.

Zhang Jitian had turned into a flowery dog, lying on the ground helplessly, frightened and nervous.

Qiao Zhi patted his head and said, "Give me some energy."

Zhang Jitian said with a bitter face: "Master Qiao, why do you want to besiege Chaoyao Mountain tomorrow! I can't help you with my strength, or should I meet you at the foot of the mountain?"

Qiao Zhi said: "Stop talking nonsense, tomorrow I will let you fight, and accumulate experience as a monster by the way."

"When the time comes, do what you are asked to do, do more and complain less."

"You have to know that hard work is the foundation, benefit is the first! The company is the most important! Contribute to the society..."

Having said that, Qiao Zhi suddenly stopped, covering his mouth with his paws, resentful in his heart: "Damn it!Why haven't I forgotten these slogans! '

……

Yi Shuang looked at the haggard Chu Qiguang in front of him, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Your complexion is so bad."

Chu Qiguang said weakly: "I don't know...I always feel...something is watching me all the time, and it seems that someone is talking in my ear."

"I'm so scared."

Yi Shuang looked at it and smiled secretly, but still comforted him: "It should be that you have learned too much recently, and you are a little restless."

"I recommend you to go to the big library to read a few Taoist scriptures..."

"They all have a calming effect."

Chu Qiguang said aggrievedly: "But... the history of the big library's collection has been a little scary recently. I feel like she is going to eat me."

Yi Shuang comforted: "Lin Lan is not in a good mood recently, I have already told her about it, and she will not make things difficult for you again."

"And your situation is actually a bit dangerous. You can't be careless about things in practice. If you let it go, you might become possessed."

"Now only those Dao scriptures in the big library can cure you, you'd better go and have a look."

Looking at Chu Qiguang who stumbled out after a while of intimidation, Yi Shuang thought to himself, "Stupid." '

Then there was some morbid longing on his face again.

"The Corpse Code... and Lin Lan..."

'Soon...it will all be mine...'

In the dark night of the same day, countless people in the entire Chaoyao Mountain are busy around tomorrow.

Before they knew it, it was the next morning, and this year's competition finally started.
