I see Qingshan

Chapter 92 Mask
Hearing what the second-generation mountain guardian had to say, Tang Xin felt somewhat at ease.

The fact that they were able to temporarily break free from control means that the second generation will not continue to target them.

As long as the second generation doesn't intervene, everything is fine.

"Do you have any clue who's controlling you?"

Seeing that the man in front of him was calm and smiling, the black bear finally breathed a sigh of relief and voiced his doubts.

The second-generation mountain guardian's methods, while not exactly extraordinary, were certainly formidable. Even in the world of mountains and seas, he would be a force to be reckoned with. Yet, this powerful mountain guardian was controlled by certain individuals, becoming nothing more than a puppet.

The second-generation mountain guardian pondered for a long time before finally sighing, "It must not be mentioned. Once that person's name is mentioned, it will be sensed and will only hasten that person's revival."

Upon hearing this, even Qin Ying couldn't help but turn her head.

His mind had been controlled before, and even his body had been possessed. If it weren't for his strong will and the suppression of the national fortune within him, his own consciousness would probably have been extinguished long ago, and he would have become a vessel for others.

The culprit was the phoenix that had once hunted him and his master, but the phoenix was merely a vessel, and after he entered the Mountain and Sea, he avenged his master and eliminated the phoenix.

After Phoenix's death, the mysterious person who seized Phoenix's consciousness then attached himself to Phoenix, ready to take over his body at any time.

To this day, he has not been able to come up with a solution, only knowing that the national destiny his mother once transferred to him seems to be a key link in the chain.

Qin Ying knew in his heart that if he waited a few more days, he would degenerate into the Primordial Egg, his consciousness would completely dissipate, and then be taken over and controlled by another consciousness. At that time, he would no longer be himself.

Qin Ying placed all his hopes on Tang Xin. Only by entering the Mountain and Sea and obtaining the solidified phoenix blood could he stop the degeneration and recover from his injuries.

"We can't even mention names?"

Tang Xin frowned slightly. This was the same as what Da Heishi had said. Da Heishi had also said before that they shouldn't discuss it.

The second-generation mountain guardian nodded: "That's right. Unless any of you enter the mountain and sea, only that space will be isolated from the outside world and not bound by any rules."

Black Bear gave an awkward smile: "Never mind then, whatever, it has nothing to do with me anyway. If the sky falls, you tall guys will hold it up."

Not long after, the second-generation mountain guardian walked to the sofa, looked Qin Ying up and down, and said, "That person still hasn't given up. Indeed, you have the nation's destiny within you. Only you are that person's perfect vessel. Once you degenerate into an egg, the one that hatches will be that person's new life."

Qin Ying looked at the second-generation mountain guardian and said without changing his expression, "You know quite a lot."

The second-generation mountain guardian smiled slightly: "After all, I was once a puppet controlled by him, so I know a little bit. You shouldn't have entered the Mountain and Sea back then."

Qin Ying said slowly, "I did not enter the Mountain and Sea on my own initiative."

He was imprisoned by a bunch of old fogies.

The second-generation mountain guardian said, "It's a pity that the Phoenix's curse has a time delay. If you had noticed it back then and taken the Phoenix blood, the national fortune within you would have been at its peak, and that person would not have been able to forcibly take over your body... What we see now is that all of this was planned. That person was also making a huge gamble, and he won."

Qin Ying didn't speak, nor did he bother to explain. It wasn't that he didn't want to obtain the phoenix blood, but rather that he couldn't touch the phoenix after it died.

The black bear was somewhat confused and couldn't help but ask, "Second Generation, do you mean... this little rabbit... Brother Qin needs to use Phoenix Blood to heal his injuries, otherwise his body will be taken away?"

The second-generation mountain guardian glanced at the black bear, then turned to Tang Xin and asked, "Who is he? Can he be trusted?"

Before Tang Xin could speak, Black Bear hurriedly said, "Trustworthy, definitely trustworthy, brother, he's one of us."

The second generation shook his head: "Whether it's good or bad isn't something you can judge with your words. Open your mind and let me examine it."

The black bear immediately refused: "Huh? No way, that's definitely not okay. I have my privacy too!"

The second-generation mountain guardian chuckled softly, "If you can't understand good or bad, then I also know a little bit of martial arts. You can give it a try; the result will be the same anyway." "Brother Qin..."

The black bear looked at Qin Ying with a pitiful expression.

Qin Ying turned her head, looked at the cartoon, and said indifferently, "I'm a little brat."

Black Bear: "..."

He knew Qin Ying was petty and held grudges, but he didn't expect her to hold a grudge for so long.

Left with no other choice, the black bear had to do as the second generation instructed and let it explore.

After a long while, the second generation withdrew his hand and said, "Your character is not bad, at least better than the vast majority of living beings."

After confirming that the black bear was fine, the second generation explained: "The dragon prince must obtain the phoenix blood, otherwise he will continue to degenerate and his body will be taken over before long."

Upon learning the truth, the black bear gasped in shock.

If we really follow the above instructions and prevent Qin Ying from obtaining the Phoenix Blood, wouldn't that mean releasing a terrifying being whose name cannot even be mentioned?
Fortunately, I hadn't passed the message out yet; otherwise, if someone from above had come to stop me, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Black Bear: "Boss, going to the mountains and seas is too dangerous. I have a plan that can save the day!"

At that moment, Tang Xin and the others all looked at the black bear.

The black bear raised its head and said seriously, "Why don't you just have the boss seal Qin Ying in the Mountain and Sea, and then he can go and get the phoenix blood himself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Bear felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced around and saw Qin Ying staring at him.

Qin Ying: "After the phoenix died, I could not touch its corpse. Its body was engulfed in black flames. Only the seal of the mountain guardian could extinguish the black flames."

Black Bear: "Then I have another plan that can change the situation. Let the boss seal the second generation in the Mountain and Sea, and let the second generation go to retrieve it!"

The second-generation mountain guardian laughed and said, "I am no longer the mountain guardian. Otherwise, how could there be any other mountain guardians?"

Black Bear: "Then I have another plan..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Xin interrupted him, saying, "Big brother, don't worry about it. I'm afraid you'll get beaten up later."

A person should have self-awareness, but obviously the black bear doesn't have that.

The black bear shrank its neck: "...Alright then."

Tang Xin said firmly, "When the blood moon appears, I will personally go to the mountains and seas, not only for Qin Ying, but also because I need to know something, and perhaps the answer lies there."

The second-generation mountain guardian laughed and said, "That's excellent. By the way, have you ever seen my mask?"

During his battle with Phoenix, he lost his mask, which greatly diminished his advantage.

"I didn't see it."

Tang Xin was somewhat confused; how could she possibly know anything about his mask?

The black bear's eyes lit up: "I know, I've seen it in the museum!"

The second-generation heir looked puzzled: "A museum? Where is that?"

After the black bear explained, the second-generation mountain guardian finally understood and said softly, "It truly feels like a lifetime ago. More than two thousand years later, things are completely different from what they were before."
