i don't want to be emperor

"The sky is dry, be careful of the candles." The voice of the watchman echoed in the dark night sky, and there was no figure except the watchman on the quiet and empty street.A gust of night wind blew past, making the watchman shiver unconsciously. He tightened his collar, and then continued to beat the gong in his hand and walked to the next street.

The instigator of the night wind just now, Qin Yi glanced at the batterer who was gradually going away, and continued to walk towards his destination, where the ancient well was.

Not long ago, Zhang Su and Xu Liang left the inn, and Hu Yin, who didn't know what they were going to do, followed them in worry.After acting together with Qin Yi for such a long time, he also became a little more conscious, and paid more attention to the life and safety of Zhang Su, the imperial envoy.

Hu Yin felt more at ease with Liu Qingxuan, who was more stable and careful, protecting the little emperor in the inn.

But what he didn't know was that just as he left the inn with his front foot, Qin Yi ran out with his back foot.With Qin Yi's strength, there is no problem in avoiding Liu Qingxuan's perception.

The ancient well at night is no longer noisy during the day, it is extremely quiet, and compared with the daytime, it has a bit more weird atmosphere, which makes people subconsciously not want to approach it.

After Qin Yi came to the well, he probed into the well and saw only a deep darkness.Without hesitation, Qin Yi jumped directly from the mouth of the well. A few seconds later, with the sound of falling into the water, Qin Yi had already dived into the water.Follow the well water to the direction where the evil spirit floats. After passing through a not-so-short waterway, Qin Yi emerges from a pool in a cave.

Qin Yi, whose clothes were not even wet, walked ashore easily, and began to look at the cave in front of him.The cave is not big, and after a few glances, you can see the whole situation in the cave clearly.On the rock walls around the cave, there are all kinds of lines and patterns that look like runes, some of which look very old, while others seem to be newly engraved.

Looking at the rune patterns carved on the stone wall, Qin Yi couldn't help sighing in his heart, this kind of messy seal has lasted for so many years, it is really powerful enough.

That's right, the rune patterns engraved on almost all the stone walls in the cave are used for sealing. As for the things they seal, they are not far from the water pool, sleeping in the center of the entire cave. On the stone platform, there is a monster with the appearance of a girl.

Although it's a bit different, the monster in front of me seems to be a Quan Ji.

Izumi is a relatively weak monster with low combat power and no aggressiveness. Because she likes to live in the spring and often appears in the form of a girl, she is called Izumi.Although Izumi can be said to be a very gentle monster, their way of life is unacceptable to humans and even many monsters.

The reason why spring girls like to live in springs is because they feed on water veins. Once they live in a certain spring for too long, that spring will dry up completely, and the life that lives on that spring will have to die. Leave, or die from lack of water.

However, although the formation in front of me is a mess, and there are still a lot of traces of repairs, it also has something worthy of praise.It drew out Quan Ji's monster power, and after being transformed by the formation, it continuously replenished the pool of water in the cave.

After investigating the operation status of this formation, Qin Yi also knew the reason for the drought in Ningcheng and nearby areas.There was a problem with the formation that sealed Quan Ji, causing part of Quan Ji's power to leak out, but the formation that extracted the demon power from Quan Ji's body was still in operation, so the leaked power of Quan Ji instinctively began to absorb all the surrounding water sources, To replenish the demon power lost in Quan Ji's body.

Quan Ji who was sealed on the stone platform appeared to be quite weak. Although it was because of being sealed for too long, there were also other reasons. Kind of thing survived.

This is also the reason why Qin Yi was so surprised when he discovered the monster energy. When he woke up in this life and sensed the energy composition of this world, he thought that there were no such things as monsters in this world.If monsters live in this kind of world, they can't cultivate at all, and it's already very difficult to just survive.

Of course, Qin Yi didn't know why this world, which obviously had monsters, turned into a state that was completely unsuitable for monsters to live in, but this did not prevent him from making a judgment on the situation in front of him.

In the current situation, even if this Quan Ji is released, she will not live long. In fact, the reason why this Quan Ji can survive until now is thanks to this seal, but if it continues to be sealed here If not, it will affect the water veins here, and Ningcheng will continue to be dry.

Therefore, the best way now is to break up this spring girl directly, let her dissipate into a piece of water-attribute essence, and nourish this land.

Don't think his behavior is cruel. In fact, compared to dying with exhaustion of body and soul due to lack of spiritual power, Qin Yi's behavior can give Quan Ji's soul the last chance of life. If you are lucky If it is good, it will be able to reincarnate smoothly.

When Qin Yi dealt with Quan Ji, Zhang Su and Xu Liang had already arrived at the Liu Mansion. After explaining their identities to the servants in the mansion, the servants went in to report, and the two of them were quickly invited in.

When the two entered the hall, Liu Yuanwai was standing in the middle of the hall waiting for them. After seeing them, especially Zhang Su, Liu Yuanwai showed a kind smile on his face, and said in a surprised tone: "When is my nephew?" Came to Ningcheng?"

"Su didn't want to disturb uncle at this time, but my father told Su before he left that he must visit uncle's house." Zhang Su gave a junior salute to Liu Yuanwai, "and Su heard something in the inn. I was also a little worried about the news about my uncle's house, so I came to bother you, if there is any inconvenience, please forgive me."

"Nephew, what are you talking about?" Liu Yuanwai intentionally showed displeasure, "With the relationship between your father and me, there is no need to say such things."

After exchanging pleasantries, several people entered Liu Yuanwai's study room. Zhang Su asked Liu Yuanwai what he had heard before about the mysterious disappearance of Miss Liu's family. , but my nephew is not an outsider, so I won’t hide it from you, my nephew. In fact, Yuli is not missing.”

Zhang Su's expression changed: "How to say?"

Then Liu Yuanwai told him the story of a young lady who had made a private decision with the housekeeper for life, and after he found out and opposed it, they caused a commotion, and they both escaped from Liufu. If there is anything to say, I definitely want to complain about the bloodiness of this story.

But now the person who heard the story was Zhang Su, so naturally he wouldn't have such an idea, he just instinctively sensed something wrong in Liu Yuanwai's words.On the whole, Liu Yuanwai's words did not have any loopholes, but Zhang Su, who had been tempered in the officialdom for several years, also saw the other party's emotional flaws.

Although Liu Yuanwai seemed to be worried about his daughter running away from home, in fact, Zhang Su didn't feel any real emotions from this elder who hadn't seen him for many years, just like all the words and expressions of the other party just now It's all just a show.

It's a pity that Liu Yuanwai's acting skills are a bit too tender compared to those old foxes in the officialdom.Liu Yuanwai's performance made Zhang Su's original doubts a little bit more.

On the surface, Zhang Su just comforted Liu Yuanwai with a natural expression, and Liu Yuanwai seemed to have listened to his words, and his expression relaxed a lot.After another exchange of greetings, Liu Yuanwai said, "Nephew, it's getting late now, I'll ask someone to take you to the guest room to rest."

"There's no need to bother uncle." Zhang Su refused with a smile, "Su came to Liucheng this time for important business. If he hadn't worried about the situation in his uncle's house, Su would not have visited at this time. Now that the cause and effect have been understood , Su should leave too." He stood up as he spoke, as if he was about to leave.

Liu Yuanwai also stood up and looked at him with feigned displeasure: "Since my nephew is here, why did you leave in such a hurry? Could it be that I think Liu's mansion doesn't treat me well?"

Zhang Su hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Su dare not."

"Although my Liu Mansion is not a rich and powerful family, I still have the ability to entertain guests." Liu Yuanwai continued.

After Zhang Su hesitated for a moment, he said, "Su didn't mean that, it's just that what Su has to do in Liucheng this time may cause a lot of trouble, and it will be Su's fault if he brings this trouble into Liu's mansion." gone."

Liu Yuanwai waved his hands happily when he heard the words: "I have lived in Liucheng for so many years, I dare not say anything else, but I can help you with the affairs in Liucheng. Nephew, feel free to stay here , if there is anything that needs the old man, the old man will never refuse."

Zhang Su declined again, but he couldn't match Liu Yuanwai's enthusiasm, so he could only agree.Liu Yuanwai yelled out the door, and a man dressed as a servant walked in from the door. After Liu Yuanwai gave a few instructions, he led Zhang Su and Xu Liang, who had been silent all the time, out of the study.

The author has something to say: Sure enough, you shouldn't write monsters, the style of painting is a bit wrong, should you also pull out ghosts and other things next?
