i don't want to be emperor

"Do you know what's in that underground palace?" Qin Yi asked suddenly while Gao Xiaoruan was thinking.

The middle-aged Taoist was silent for a while, and said: "When I was looking through some ancient books, I saw some descriptions of this underground palace."

Hearing what he said, Qin Yi laughed inexplicably: "Okay, you don't have to rush to fight. The door of this underground palace has already been opened, why don't you go in and take a look." That tone, that Attitude, as if this is his home, and everyone is being invited in as guests.

For some reason, the middle-aged Taoist priest who inexplicably respected Qin Yi responded first: "You are right, the poor Taoist also has the same intention."

"No!" Gao Xiaoruan immediately objected. According to Qin Yi's previous analysis, the reason why this Taoist priest did so many things was to enter the underground palace. Now she can take revenge on this guy. If you let this guy in, what kind of revenge are you talking about?

"Based on his current state, you have succeeded in revenge." Qin Yi said, beckoning to the dark corner, "Don't hide there, come out."

After hearing Qin Yi's words, Gao Xiaoruan also looked towards that corner, and the spacious hall fell into unspeakable silence for a while.Before Gao Xiaoruan spoke impatiently, a figure slowly walked out from that corner.And after seeing the figure clearly, even Gao Xiaoruan didn't know what to say.

The middle-aged Taoist priest, who had only met them a few times before, was completely different from his previous appearance. The bun that was originally tied behind his head was almost completely untied, and some strands of hair were burned. General charred marks.The middle-aged Taoist priest, who was originally well-dressed and somewhat fairy-like, is now covered in tattered clothes. From some relatively large openings, you can still see torn wounds and large pieces of blood. Charred skin.

During the few short steps he walked out, several wounds burst out on some of his scorched skin, and blood continued to flow out from the wounds, making him look very embarrassed and weak.It's just that although his face was pale, his expression was quite indifferent. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, from the tone of his words just now, it would be completely impossible to tell that he had suffered such a serious injury.

The reason why Gao Xiaoruan mistakenly thought that the middle-aged Taoist priest was hiding in the pile of rubble was precisely because she felt the breath of the Taoist priest in the pile of rubble, which was probably left by the Taoist priest when he was injured.Of course, it is not ruled out that the Taoist priest deliberately left these auras to mislead Gao Xiaoruan.

In short, after seeing the miserable appearance of the middle-aged Taoist priest, he no longer insisted on his own ideas, and when Qin Yi once again proposed to go to the underground palace to have a look, he agreed.It's not that she felt any pity for this Taoist priest, but she felt that this Taoist priest was so hurt that when she left here, wouldn't she be able to easily kill him?

After communicating with Qin Yi twice, Gao Xiaoruan has learned something.She felt that if she attacked that stinky Taoist priest now, she would probably be injured if he fought desperately.And if she let go first and let this guy relax his vigilance, when he leaves the underground palace, he can easily get it by surprise, so there is no need to take risks at this time.

She didn't believe that such a serious injury could be healed in a short time.

Moreover, after guarding this underground palace for so long, I have never been able to enter it. It is impossible to say that I am not curious about what is inside.Now the door of the underground palace has been opened, if it wasn't for the presence of that stinky Taoist priest who made her want to take revenge first, she would have already entered.

The middle-aged Taoist priest, Qin Yi, Gao Xiaoruan, Su Ye, a group of four and a black cat walked into the underground palace together from the place where a big hole was opened.And the moment he entered the underground palace, the black cat's figure paused, then swelled up uncontrollably, and after a while, it turned back into a human-like form.

The other three people (ghosts) who were traveling with Qin Yi discovered the extraordinaryness of the black cat. The middle-aged Taoist priest was alright and behaved relatively calmly. In other words, his current body could not support him to make any violent reactions. up.But Su Ye and Gao Xiaoruan were really taken aback. While retreating instantly, they were also ready to attack.

Xu Wenqing's expression was very cold. Even if he encountered such an unexpected incident, he didn't mean to panic. After glancing at Su Ye and Gao Xiaoruan who were still on guard, he turned towards Qin Yi slightly. Lowering his head, he explained apologetically, "Sorry, I was too careless and didn't notice the barrier in this underground palace."

He didn't care if his sudden change scared others or exposed his identity, he was just annoyed that he didn't detect the problem in advance.Although the enchantment in the underground palace this time only allowed him to forcibly restore his original shape, if this enchantment would cause any harm to Qin Yi and he didn't realize it, it would be too late for him to regret it.

Seeing the attitude of Xu Wenqing, a young man transformed from a black cat, towards Qin Yi, Su Ye, who originally thought it was an evil ghost hiding beside him with malicious intentions, was slightly relieved, and the hand holding the talisman paper also put it down.In contrast to him, Gao Xiaoruan on the other side did not intend to relax his guard at all.

At first, she thought that she was discovered by this cat because the black cat was psychic, but now that she saw it, it turned out that this guy was also a ghost.

As for Qin Yi, he only has one thought in his mind now, it turns out that he added this kind of setting to this place at the beginning.

If it wasn't because Xu Wenqing was always by his side, Qin Yi wouldn't immediately think of this place after listening to Gao Xiaoruan's description.The □□ trap at the door was the result of his whim. The design of this underground palace was to prevent people from outside from entering and people from inside from getting out.

This is his burial place in this world, but it is not his mausoleum.

There is nothing to say about the experience of that life. It is just a story of an ordinary person who has twice failed as an emperor, struggling to survive in a poor start, and trying to create a better start for himself in the next world. .And the underground palace in front of him is the last and greatest effort made by him in that life for a better start.

In the previous life, the spiritual power of this world was still very active, and there were endless demons and ghosts all over the world. The country he ruled was also in chaos due to the disasters of demons and ghosts everywhere, and the weakness of the government.What's worse, even if the domestic situation is so bad, the royal people are still obsessed with internal fighting, completely ignoring the extremely weakened national strength, so that the situation of the entire country has become more precarious due to their ignorant consumption. .

Later, in order to save this crumbling country, the emperor, under the persecution of all the ministers and his own push, built this underground palace and used himself as a living sacrifice in exchange for a hundred years of peace for the entire country.In the hundred years since then, no one, or the existence of demons and ghosts, has been able to stir up trouble in his country.

Then, with that super high evaluation score, he went to the next world to work hard.As for whether that country has persisted, and even if it has persisted for how long, he does not know.At least, judging from the current situation, that country did not continue beyond the millennium.

Speaking of which, in that era, the power of gunpowder was not great, at most it could deal with ordinary people, but it had no effect on those who had cultivation bases, or demons and ghosts.However, judging from the movement just now and the Taoist priest's current tragedy, the power of this explosion seems to be much higher than what he originally expected.

It turned out that the previous feeling that the power of the gun was too small was not his illusion?I didn't expect the aura to suppress chemical reactions, so now that the aura is weak, it will explode with its original power, and even the gate of the underground palace was directly blasted open.

Now in this underground palace, the most valuable things have gradually lost their function due to the changes in the world. What is the reason for that middle-aged Taoist trying so hard to get in here?

Because a lot of past events came to mind, Qin Yi was a little dazed, and did not respond to Xu Wenqing's words.And Xu Wenqing didn't say anything more, and stood respectfully in front of Qin Yi with his hands down, as silent as a statue.

Well, a statue that floats.

After a while, Qin Yi, who came back to his senses, waved his hand at Xu Wenqing in front of him: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry about me so much, I'm not that weak. It's you, no matter what I see later, I hope you able to keep calm."

Hearing what he said, not only Xu Wenqing, but also the other three felt tense. Hearing what he meant, is there anything scary in this underground palace?There was no time for everyone to ask questions. After saying this, Qin Yi took the lead and walked into the depths of the underground palace. The few people didn't bother to ask questions, and hurriedly followed.

After entering the underground palace from the original gate, that is, the big hole that was blown out, the group of people came to a hall that was wider than the outer hall.Different from the hall without any decorations except for a few pillars outside, the four walls of the hall in the underground palace are all painted with exquisite murals, and the pillars are also painted with gorgeous reliefs. Even the hall far away from the ground The top of the hall is inlaid with bright gems like the sun, moon and stars.

These gemstones all exuded a slight light, illuminating the originally dark underground hall very brightly, and even the weird patterns and symbols on the floor were clearly visible.
