Seven years ago, the North Courtyard admitted a young swordsman with a Twin Spirit Root, and Xue Ziyi placed high hopes on him and mobilized all resources for his cultivation.

That Twin Spirit Root Sword Disciple had a very good talent, and he rushed into the middle stage of qi refining in half a year, reaching the cultivation of the fourth level of qi refining.

Xue Ziyi was very happy at that time.

Finally waited for a genius junior brother, she thought that the rise of the North Courtyard was promising.

However, in the sword dispute back then, the twin spirit root junior disciples, who Xue Ziyi had high hopes for, were planted in the hands of a junior disciple of Qian Yusleeve in the West Courtyard, and he was heavily injured and his meridians were destroyed.

Even if he healed his injuries, he would no longer be able to practice in this life, and he would completely lose his identity as a practitioner.

Originally, there was still a chance to live, but the two spiritual root disciples were too heavy in their minds to swallow this breath, and they died of depression within three days.

Died in the main hall of the North Courtyard.

The battle of swords, life and death have their own destiny.

Xue Ziyi has no way to avenge his junior brother, the sword battle is a tradition in the Sword Palace over the years, his skills are not as good as others, and if he dies, he will die in vain.

She swore in front of her junior brother's corpse that she would definitely win over Qian Yusleeve!

So over the years, Xue Ziyi has always been looking for good seedlings, and every year in the sword battle, she has gambled with Qian Yusleeve, but she has never won and has always lost.

As for the grimace in the main hall, it appeared seven years ago, a night not long after the death of the Twin Spirit Root disciples.

At that time, Xue Ziyi happened to pass by the main hall and saw a strange black fog in the main hall, and found the existence of a grimace after checking.

Xue Ziyi sealed the grimace in the hall with the magic weapon Dust Frost Sword.

She knew that it was a ghost body that her junior brother's soul had transformed into because she was unwilling.

Although she couldn't bear it, Xue Ziyi couldn't show mercy.

Allowing ghosts to exist will be a serious blow to the reputation of the North Courtyard.

The North Courtyard, which is already sparsely populated and gradually declining, is about to spread the news of being haunted, and no one is coming.

At that time, Xue Ziyi was determined to completely kill the ghost body of his junior brother and destroy his relatives in righteousness.

It's just that the result surprised her.

No matter what means are used, even if it is directly bombarded with the magic weapon Dust and Frost Sword, although the grimace dissipates at that time, it will still appear in a few days!

The constant grimaces have become a nightmare that Xue Ziyi can't shake off.

In the end, there was really no way, Xue Ziyi had no choice but to lay down the sealing array, and he was stationed in the main hall and did not dare to leave easily, claiming to the outside world that he was cultivating in the main hall and was not allowed to be disturbed by outsiders.

That's it, for seven years in a row, the grimace is still there.

Xue Ziyi could only delay again and again, trying her best to hide the existence of the grimace for the sake of the North Courtyard.

There are very few people who know about this, only Ma Yong and Niu Bucai, counting Yun Quan, there are only four people.

After learning what had happened, Yun Que was in awe of the senior sister.

Don't look at Xue Ziyi's reckless nickname, he is absolutely chivalrous, and anyone will be moved to do so for the North Courtyard.

While respecting, Yun Que's heart was full of questions.

"At that time, when that senior brother died, his cultivation was the fourth layer of qi refining?" Yun Que asked.

"Yes, I remember that he was about to hit the fifth layer." Ma Yong replied recalled.

"The soul of the fourth layer of qi refining should not be too strong, but why can't the ghost body transformed into even a magic weapon be killed?" Yun Que expressed the question in his heart.

The ghost body that has not been eliminated for seven years, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a disciple of the fourth layer of qi refining.

"We don't understand that either." Niu Bucai said in a bitter voice: "It may also be that his resentment was too heavy when he was dying, and the ghost body he became had a deep grudge, which is difficult to kill." ”

Regarding Niu Bucai's statement, Yun Que did not dare to agree.

Since he knows that the battle between the sword and the sword is alive and dead, even if he dies in battle, he should not have multiple resentments.

"When that senior brother was alive, did he love to scold people?" Yun Que asked a strange question.

"He never scolded, he knew how to read poetry and books since he was a child, and he didn't scold any swear words even when he died." Xue Ziyi affirmed.

Yun Que frowned, this is strange.

With his experience of spraying with neighbors since he was a child, the grimace and big mouth opening and closing posture are obviously scolding.

Could it be that he was a civilized person in life and became a curse ghost after death?

Yun Que was silent, thinking about the strangeness of the grimace, Xue Ziyi thought that he was lamenting the fate of the two spiritual root disciples, and explained:

"I will deal with this year's gambling fight with Qian Yusleeve, don't worry, junior brother, even if you lose to someone in the future, you must look away, a man can bend and stretch, don't judge the hero for a while."

Yun Que knew Xue Ziyi's kindness, for fear that he, a junior brother, would also follow the old path of a disciple of the Twin Spirit Roots, so he nodded and said:

"Senior sister, don't worry, I've been used to being scolded since I was a child, and I can see it."

Xue Ziyi then remembered that the little junior brother in front of him still had the title of Hanshui Hou, as a shame of Da Yan, if he didn't have a strong heart, he would have been scolded to death hundreds of times.

The crisis was resolved, and after Yun Que informed Xue Ziyi of the news of the appearance of the Dryad in the Foggy Mountain, he took his leave and left.

Xue Ziyi was always busy in the main hall, and he didn't have time to inquire about whether the sword head had returned, so Yun Que could only ask someone else tomorrow to inquire.

After he left, the three people in the main hall sighed at the same time.

"Senior Brother Yun is not chaotic when encountering problems, he is smart and clever, it would be great if he had a spiritual root." Ma Yong sighed.

"He has a calmness far beyond his peers, and he showed excellence when he collapsed the Sword Trial Tower, but unfortunately, why doesn't he have a spiritual root." Niu Bucai said regretfully.

"Fate......" Xue Ziyi sighed and closed his eyes.

Time is also fate.

In the eyes of Xue Ziyi and the others, Yun Que is a bad fate.

Otherwise, judging from his past performance, it is really possible to make great achievements in his cultivation.

As soon as he entered the Sword Palace, he beat Lei Linggen all over the ground to find teeth, and brought his fellow door back safely in the dangerous Foggy Mountain, and also helped to exchange for soul stones to solve the grimace crisis.

This kind of astute disciple was nowhere to be found with a lantern, and the more the three of them thought about it, the more regretful they felt, and they were annoyed by the injustice of fate.

also felt annoyed, as well as Mu Qingyao.

Since returning to the Mu Mansion in a hurry, Mu Qingyao found that she was still wearing Yun Que's clothes, not only the maids at home saw it, but even her father Mu Qingzhou looked at it.

The eldest lady of the Mu family actually came back in men's clothes, and it was not a new dress, which made people think about it.

Soon, Mu Qingzhou learned everything that happened in the Foggy Mountains from his daughter.

Hearing about the existence of the Dryad and the White Bone Mountain, the contemporary head of the Mu family just locked his eyebrows and had no superfluous expression.

However, when he heard about Yun Que's deeds, Mu Qingzhou seemed very interested, and even smiled.

In addition to not revealing the existence of the blind snake, Mu Qingyao told the experience of the Foggy Mountain in detail.

After speaking, the father and daughter were all silent and returned to their previous rustiness.

The father and daughter of the herdsman sometimes can't speak a few words for a year and a half, and the estrangement is extremely heavy, which is a situation that the herdsmen all know, but the people dare not chew the root of their tongues.

If it weren't for the fact that the matter in Wushan was serious enough to threaten the imperial city, Mu Qingyao would not have rushed home to explain the situation.

"What do you think, how is Yun Que?"

Mu Qingzhou did not express any opinion on the matter of the Foggy Mountains, but asked about inconsequential matters.

Mu Qingyao was stunned, and then remembered Yun Que's unscrupulous gaze in the Flower Spirit Sword, and was immediately annoyed, and secretly gritted his silver teeth and said:

"It's as annoying as it was when I was a kid."

Mu Qingzhou was not surprised, glanced at the neatly folded men's clothes on the side of his daughter's bed, and said, "Yun is missing?" ”

Mu Qingyao wanted to explain, but opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, and finally hummed in annoyance.

Mu Qingzhou nodded, pushed the door and left his daughter's boudoir.

Walking to the front hall, Mu Qingzhou instructed the old housekeeper beside him:

"Send news to all the rooms of the Mu family, tomorrow I have a big announcement, all the elders of the Mu family must be present, otherwise they will bear the consequences."

The old butler immediately complied, and was about to gather people to deliver the news.

"And." Mu Qingzhou pondered for a long time, as if he had made up some kind of determination, and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will personally go to the Sword Palace and invite Yun Que here." ”
