I see Qingshan

Chapter 101 Who Should I Trust
In no time, all the flames were trapped by the barrier, creating a smooth path through them.

At the end of the road was a boundless mountain peak, within which lay a colossal phoenix corpse.

"finally reached."

Tang Xin breathed a sigh of relief; things went much more smoothly than she had expected.

Tang Xin approached the phoenix corpse cautiously, glancing back every few steps.

Carrying the large black stone, Tang Xin walked to the side of the phoenix corpse. After seeing its appearance clearly, she was slightly startled.

“It’s this…”

This phoenix was not unfamiliar to Tang Xin.

When she was exiled to the River of Time and entered the Qin Dynasty, she had some interactions with it.

During the Qin Dynasty, Tang Xin and Xiao Qin Ying were chased by a phoenix and fled for several days.

Tang Xin still remembers that Xiao Qin Ying solemnly promised her that when he grew up one day, he would definitely kill Phoenix to avenge her.

Little Qin Ying had no idea that the phoenix was also a creature with a tragic fate, its body possessed by others, and that chasing after them was not actually the phoenix's own intention.

At this moment, Tang Xin recalled that she had absorbed a lot of crimson energy from Xiao Qin Ying's body. Phoenix originally wanted to take the opportunity to control her, but fortunately she had no greed or evil thoughts and could not be controlled.

Big Black Stone: "A lot of Phoenix Blood has been extracted; it must have been from your previous trips back in time."

As Daheishi finished speaking, Tang Xin frowned slightly and said, "Won't it have been drained dry?"

Since the world of mountains and seas cannot be reversed, if the phoenix blood is drained, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?

Big Black Stone: "That's not the case. It's enough for you to draw a thousand or eight hundred times, no problem."

Tang Xin: "..."

……

The process of obtaining the phoenix blood went very smoothly, so smoothly that Tang Xin found it hard to believe.

Everyone says this world of mountains and seas is incredibly dangerous, but once you step inside, you find it's nothing special.

However, the world of mountains and seas is boundless and contains countless ferocious creatures, but because the land is so vast, it is not easy to encounter them.

"careful!"

Suddenly, Daheishi let out a cold shout, which startled Tang Xin. She quickly took a few steps back and then looked around.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Xin held a large cleaver that had been transformed from a barrier, craning her neck to look around.

Big Black Stone: "Look at that phoenix corpse."

Tang Xin subconsciously looked towards the phoenix corpse.

Suddenly, the void around the phoenix corpse twisted and condensed into specks of light.

About ten seconds later, the light transformed into the phantom of a girl dressed in white.

The girl's eyes were cold, and her face was full of murderous intent.

But when Tang Xin saw the appearance of the illusory figure clearly, she was taken aback.

The girl formed from the illusory image is exactly the same as Tang Xin in both height and appearance, as if they were twins.

The Black Stone: "A projection condensed from the power of time..." Tang Xin asked, puzzled: "Huh?"

After a moment's thought, Daheishi said, "I understand. This is probably a time projection left behind when you went back in time last time. Once someone touches this phoenix corpse, the time projection will automatically break the seal."

Tang Xin remained silent, observing quietly.

She could see a chilling frost in the illusory eyes, which made Tang Xin doubt whether the woman condensed from the illusory image was really herself.

She may not understand others, but she certainly understands herself.

But the girl in front of her felt completely unfamiliar, as if the two of them had experienced completely different timelines and vastly different things.

Tang Xin asked with slight surprise, "How did I become like this?"

Big Black Stone: "How should I know? Let's see first."

Soon, the illusory figure spoke, her voice as icy as her eyes: "You've come... When you see me, it means I've ultimately failed... But I don't believe I've gone down the wrong path. The ancestor wanted to erase my memories, to make me go back in time and take a different path. Even the ancestor thinks I'm wrong. If there's a mistake, it's definitely not me!"

The illusory figure paused for a moment, then continued, "My memories are fading away bit by bit. I must, when all my memories are erased, take advantage of the irreversible nature of the Mountain and Sea World to leave behind some information... Listen carefully, after I've regressed, all special beings deserve to die. Chi You's path was correct. In this world, the human race is enough; too many variables are unnecessary... Never give the Phoenix Blood to Qin Ying, because..."

At this point, the phantom's expression grew increasingly confused: "It's because... I forgot, this memory was just erased... But no matter what, you must believe me, because I am you, and you are me. Destroying the Phoenix Blood, killing Qin Ying, killing all living beings—this is the responsibility the mountain guardian should bear. Facts will prove that I was right. I... wait, who am I? Where am I? Who brought this old lady from the inn to this godforsaken place??"

Soon, the phantom disappeared again, leaving only Tang Xin and the black stone speechless.

Tang Xin: "..."

Big Black Stone: “…”

The mysterious being who possessed the phoenix said that she was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.

At this moment, Tang Xin seemed to be deep in thought. The ancestor mentioned by the illusory figure should be the Yellow Emperor.

This also means that his memories were indeed erased by Qingsong.

Why would Qingsong erase her memories?

Moreover, Zhangzhu once said that she seemed to have embarked on the wrong path.

And what does this wrong path refer to? The slaughter of all special beings?
Tang Xin was puzzled: "There's no reason for this. Why would I become like that, and why would I have to exterminate all special beings?"

After a long silence, Daheishi said, "To be honest, I still prefer you as you are now. Your projection was too terrifying. You probably had the blood of many special creatures on your hands. Only when all your memories disappeared did you regain some of your innocence."

Tang Xin said, "Is the purpose of this time projection to prevent me from giving the Phoenix Blood to Qin Ying, and to make me kill Qin Ying?"

Big Black Stone: "Don't ask me, I have no idea what happened during your time travel."

Right now, Tang Xin is also in a dilemma. She doesn't know whether she should trust herself, or trust Zhangzhu, Qin Ying, or even Qingsong.

However, she really disliked the state of the projection just now, and she never thought that she would become like that.

Big Black Stone: "Sigh, let's deal with the immediate problem first."

Before Tang Xin could ask any more questions, a cold laugh came from all directions: "Descendant of the Yellow Emperor, tsk tsk... This flesh and blood is a great tonic. I never thought that after millions of years, I would still encounter such a delicacy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire mountain began to shake violently, as if it were a natural disaster.

Tang Xin looked closely and saw that a tall mountain in front of her was moving rapidly in all directions.

The Great Black Stone: "It is a mountain spirit, a rare mountain-type creature. The entire mountain is its body. It was personally sealed here by the Yellow Emperor. Don't even think about fighting back, or you will die."

Tang Xin's lips twitched slightly. Compared to those mountains, she was not even as big as an ant.

Big Black Stone laughed and said, "Old friend, how long has it been since we last met? Why do we have to fight as soon as we meet? I think you should give me some face today. This girl has some dealings with me, so let's call it a day, okay?"
