Volume 1 The Sword of the Son of Heaven Chapter 41 Chat for a Night
The ghost face printed on the window of the main hall is hideous and terrifying, struggling to come out.
But the strange thing is that no matter how the ghost face shakes, it can't even open the window paper, which is not very thick.
Yun Que felt curious and was about to take a few steps forward to take a closer look when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.
When he turned around, Ma Yong and Niu Bucai hurried over.
Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Yun Que immediately bowed his hands in greeting and called him senior brother.
They gave him a storage bag and sword talisman in Yanmen Town. Even though they later found out that he was a sword servant, they didn't ask for the gifts back. He was a good character.
Seeing Yun Que outside the main hall door, Ma Yong and Niu Bucai were also a little surprised.
"Junior Brother Yun? Why are you here so late?"
As Ma Yong spoke, he looked towards the direction of the main hall, and then his face changed slightly, obviously seeing that grimace.
"A powerful monster appeared in Wushan Mountain. I planned to inform Senior Sister, but she was not at home." Yun Que said and wanted to turn around, "By the way, Senior Brothers, there seems to be something on the window of the main hall..."
"No!"
Niu Bucai hurriedly grabbed Yun Que to stop him from turning around and said, "There's nothing! It's too dark. Junior brother must be too tired to see it wrong. How can our North Courtyard be haunted, right?"
Yun Que helplessly looked at the absent-minded Senior Brother Niu in front of him, and said to himself that I didn't even say it was haunted, so don't bring it upon yourself.
Since the person deliberately concealed it, Yun Que couldn't expose it deliberately. He had to save some face for his senior brother, right?
"Have the two senior brothers seen the eldest sister?" Yun Que didn't turn around and just stood there and asked.
"I didn't see it, maybe he went out." Ma Yong said dryly, with an anxious look on his face.
"Senior Sister is very busy these days. As you new disciples are starting to get started, Senior Sister has to buy some weapons, pills, etc. She is very busy." Niu Bucai chuckled.
"You have to do such a small thing personally. Senior sister is so kind to us. From now on, we can just let us run errands for small things like purchasing." Yun Que said sincerely.
"Junior Brother Yun makes sense, it makes sense," Ma Yong said.
"Junior brother, why don't you go back and rest? It's already very late." Niu Bucai said.
"I'm not tired. Where are you two senior brothers going? Do you want to enter the main hall?" Yun Que said.
"Well...we are responsible for guarding the main hall tonight!" Ma Yong said.
"Ah, yes! Senior Sister has placed some precious materials in the main hall, let's take a look." Niu Bucai said.
"Well, I can't sleep anyway, so why not accompany the two senior brothers to guard the main hall, and let's chat all night," Yun Que said.
Chat all night...
Ma Yong and Niu Bucai looked at each other, their expressions instantly fell.
There's no problem in chatting all night long, but the key is that it's easy to run out of senior sister.
Yun Que had his back to the main hall and could not see. Ma Yong and Niu Bucai could clearly see the faces on the windows becoming more and more hideous and terrifying.
At the same time, Xue Ziyi's groan came from the main hall, as if she was seriously injured.
Yun Que listened attentively and asked, "Have the two senior brothers heard it? Why do I seem to hear the voice of the senior sister?"
Ma Yong and Niu Bucai no longer cared about making up stories, and hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.
Yun Que followed the two of them leisurely.
Since Ma Yong and Niu Bucai dare not go in, it means that there is not much danger in the hall. Even if there is danger, at least it can be controlled.
After entering the main hall, Yun Que saw a strange scene.
A layer of black mist appeared on the ground, turning silently like running water.
Xue Ziyi was sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, holding complicated magic formulas in her hands. There was a dim halo undulating in each of the eight directions of the hall, like a candlelight in the wind.
As the eight haloes flashed, the black mist was sometimes pushed back into the ground, and sometimes floated out.
The two sides are actually confronting each other!
After seeing the palace door open, the ghostly face on the window immediately disappeared from the window paper, condensed into a black mist ghostly face, and rushed toward the door ferociously.
Ma Yong and Niu Bucai had already anticipated this, and immediately worked together to close the palace door tightly after entering, not caring about Yun Que who followed them.
With a creaking sound, the door closed.
The ghostly face hit the door, leaving a ghost-like outline on the door panel, which was very scary.
Yun Que saw it strangely,
He felt that there was a vague and special aura in the hall, and the source was from the direction of the senior sister.
Magic circle!
Yun Que guessed that a magic circle had been set up in the hall, and the senior sister was activating the magic circle, so that grimace could not escape.
"Sister, we are here!" Ma Yong walked to the palace and stopped outside the area surrounded by eight haloes.
Niu Bucai kept telling Yun Que not to move rashly and to just stand where he was.
Xue Ziyi's face turned pale at this time. She opened her eyes and looked around, and found Yun Que at the door. She frowned.
"Let's get started, I'm afraid there will be trouble tonight."
After Xue Ziyi said this, he pinched the magic formula repeatedly, and the eight halos of light shone brightly.
Ma Yong and Niu Bucai accepted the order in unison, each chose a halo position, sat cross-legged, and performed the formation technique.
They are assisting Xue Ziyi in controlling the magic circle to seal the ghost face.
Yun Que instantly understood Ma Yong and Niu Bucai's intentions. He stood at the door and silently observed the movement of the magic circle.
With the help of Ma Yong and Niu Bucai, the Eight Rays of Light gradually stabilized.
The grimaces in the hall became more and more angry.
Sometimes it turns into a black wind that rushes around trying to break out of the magic circle, and sometimes it turns into a huge grimace, baring its teeth and claws at Xue Ziyi and the other three, looking fierce and weird.
Due to the existence of the magic circle, Ghost Face could not attack the person setting up the formation. He could only roar silently, furiously, and cursed without knowing what he was saying while opening and closing his mouth.
The three people setting up the formation had just breathed a sigh of relief when the halo in one direction suddenly went out without warning.
The black mist on the ground of the hall then began to stir, becoming violent.
What's even more thrilling is that the halo in the other seven directions also gradually dims.
"No! The soul stone is about to be exhausted!" Ma Yong exclaimed, his dark face becoming bloodless.
"The soul stone is the foundation of the array. Once it is exhausted, the array will be self-defeating! What should I do, Senior Sister!" Niu Bucai even froze the array formula in his hand, with a panicked expression.
"I can't hold on until dawn..."
Xue Ziyi looked out the window at the night, exhaled with difficulty, and said: "You must exchange for the soul stone, otherwise the North Courtyard will be in danger, you go to the Sword Palace Treasure House quickly."
"no!"
"Let's go, the magic circle will be broken faster!"
Ma Yong and Niu Bucai looked at Yun Que at the door at the same time.
"Since Junior Brother Yun has seen it, it would be most appropriate for him to go there." Ma Yong said.
"It is related to the safety of the North Campus. Junior brother must keep this secret." Niu Bucai said bitterly.
"It's just a small favor. Junior brother is obligated. Senior brother, don't worry, I won't go out and talk nonsense. After all, North Campus is also my home."
Yun Que's statement made Ma Yong and Niu Bucai feel relieved.
Xue Ziyi took out something with difficulty, threw it to Yun Que, and said:
"Take my sword stone to the treasure house to pledge it in exchange for a soul stone. I will find a way to redeem it later."
After Yun Que caught it, he found that it was a white stone that was as long as a palm and as wide as two fingers. There were dozens of holes on it. Upon closer inspection, he found that there was a tiny flying sword hidden in each hole. There were three in total.
Sixteen.
This small sword stone can actually accommodate so many flying swords. It can be called a sword-hiding stone.
The moment he got the sword stone, Yun Que knew that this magical weapon was extraordinary.
It is most likely a top-grade magic weapon that surpasses top-grade magic weapons!
The best magic weapons are extremely rare, each one has special power, and its value is astonishing. It is definitely not comparable to ordinary magic weapons.
Xue Ziyi took out the best magic weapon, which shows how expensive the soul stone is. Even the senior sister of Beiyuan couldn't get enough spiritual stones to exchange for it.
Yun Que no longer delayed and went straight to the Sword Palace Treasure House with the sword stone.
