The male protagonist of the book is poisonous

I sat quietly at the table copying the scriptures, my eyes seemingly fixed on the text, but my mind, like a wild horse unleashed, had already drifted towards the mysterious and forbidden place. The air around me seemed frozen, the silence eerily quiet. Only my own slightly rapid breathing echoed lonely in the corner of this library, like the uneasy beat of a drum, repeatedly beating at my already tense nerves.

I don't know how much time passed, but Chu Feng still hadn't returned. Like a trapped animal in a cage, I began pacing the library. Every step I took was tinged with anxiety. I knew full well that this sudden restriction, like a boulder dropped into a tranquil lake, could bring about earth-shattering changes to the sect, perhaps even concealing some shocking secret capable of subverting the entire sect. And I, a book traveler from the modern era, had been inexplicably drawn into it, unable to remain aloof.

I gritted my teeth and decided not to sit and wait any longer. I wanted to investigate the restriction. Cautiously, I slowly approached its location, each step feeling like treading on thin ice, my ears perked up, alertly listening for any movement. As I approached the restriction, I could clearly sense a faint yet mysterious force pulsing through the air. Like a ghost lurking in the darkness, it silently exuded a warning that sent a chill through me.

I slowly stopped and carefully observed my surroundings. I noticed that the bookshelves surrounding the forbidden area looked like they hadn't been visited in ages. The books within, like orphans forgotten by time, were covered in thick dust. The words on the spines had become blurred by the long years of dust, but I managed to decipher some words related to ancient magic and the history of the sect. I couldn't help but wonder if this forbidden area was inextricably linked to this time-forgotten knowledge?

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard a faint buzzing sound. It was like the fluttering of a small insect's wings beside my ear. I jumped, my body jolted, and I darted around like a frightened deer, but I couldn't see anything. However, the buzzing didn't subside; instead, it grew louder, like countless invisible insects darting through the air. I clenched my fists, my eyes widened, and my heart pounded wildly in my chest, fearing that some danger would suddenly and without warning.

Just as I was gripped with extreme nervousness, a tiny speck of light suddenly appeared before my eyes. It flickered a faint blue light, like a solitary star in the darkness, emitting a mysterious and alluring aura. As if drawn to something, I reached out to touch it. Just as my finger was about to touch it, it suddenly transformed into a streak of blue light, like a mischievous elf, and rushed towards the barrier at breakneck speed. My mouth dropped open in astonishment, my eyes fixed on this incredible scene. The blue light merged into the barrier, and as if awakened, the barrier flickered several times, as if engaging in some mysterious communication with the blue light.

Just then, I heard footsteps approaching from behind me. I quickly turned to see Chu Feng and the elders. Chu Feng spotted me near the restricted area, and a flash of surprise and concern crossed his eyes. Without hesitation, he strode over to my side, his tone tinged with accusation, "Why are you here? This place is dangerous, don't you know?" Though it was a rebuke, I could hear more concern in his eyes and voice.

The elder walked straight towards the restriction with a serious expression, his eyes filled with solemnity. He slowly circled the restriction, muttering something to himself, as if chanting an ancient and mysterious spell. Meanwhile, his hands were not idle, constantly changing hand seals, the gestures complex and full of mysterious power. His eyes were so focused that it seemed as if everything around him had disappeared, as if he was having a silent yet profound conversation with this ancient restriction. After a long while, the elder stopped his movements, frowned, and said with a serious expression: "The power of this restriction is very strong, and its existence seems to be related to the origin of the sect."

Chu Feng and I couldn't help but widen our eyes upon hearing the elder's words, staring at him in astonishment. The sect's origins? That's a story steeped in mystery. According to sect legend, its founder was an immortal possessing devastating power. Like a god, he established the sect on this land and passed down countless precious spells and profound wisdom. Could this restriction truly have been left behind by the founder? What secrets lie hidden behind it?

The elder seemed to see through our doubts. He slowly spoke, "This restriction may be protecting a secret, a secret about the rise and fall of the sect. Judging from its antiquity and the fluctuations in its power, it has existed for a very long time, perhaps even longer than the history of the sect itself."

After hearing the elder's words, Chu Feng was full of doubts. He asked, "Then how should we solve it?" The elder shook his head helplessly and said, "It can't be solved easily at the moment. We need more clues. I need to consult some older books. You guys shouldn't come near here for now." After that, the elder turned around and left the library without hesitation. His figure soon disappeared from our sight.

Chu Feng looked at me with a hint of helplessness and doting in his eyes. He said, "You are always so reckless. What if something goes wrong? Do you know how dangerous you were just now?" I lowered my head a little embarrassedly and said softly, "Brother, I just want to help. I think this restriction may be closely related to the future of the sect. I don't want to see the sect fall into danger because of this restriction." Chu Feng sighed and said, "I know your idea is good, but we don't understand this restriction well enough yet. Like a blind man groping in the dark, we can't act rashly. Otherwise, it may lead to greater danger."

As we spoke, the lights in the library suddenly began to flicker, like candlelight swaying in the wind, appearing unsteady. The flickering light seemed disturbed by some powerful force. Then, without warning, an overwhelming force erupted from the restricted area, sweeping towards us like a surging tide. Chu Feng reacted swiftly, like a nimble cheetah. In the instant danger struck, he grabbed me and quickly took me behind a bookshelf. The force, like an enraged beast, pounded the bookshelf. The bookshelf teetered under the overwhelming force, like a fragile hut about to collapse in a storm. Books on the shelves, like startled birds, fell to the ground around us.

Chu Feng held me tightly, his body like an indestructible wall, firmly blocking any danger that might be hurtling towards us. I could clearly feel his heartbeat, its pounding like a war drum in my ears. His breathing became rapid, and his warm breath fanned my hair. In this perilous moment, an inexplicable sense of security welled up within me, as if as long as Chu Feng was by my side, I wouldn't be harmed too deeply. He was my safe haven in this world full of uncertainty and danger.

After the powerful force gradually dissipated, we cautiously emerged from behind the bookshelves. Looking at the devastated library before us, scattered books and overturned shelves everywhere, we all realized that this restriction was far more complex than we had imagined. We were about to face even more challenges. The fate of our sect seemed to be pushed into a direction fraught with uncertainty by the emergence of this restriction, like a ship lost in the vast ocean, its future uncertain.
