I see Qingshan

Chapter 72: Spectators of History

"Sir, do you have any feelings about this jade seal?"

Seeing Tang Xin staring at the imperial seal, Black Dragon became curious.

Tang Xin pretended to be serious and said, "This seal belongs to destiny."

Black Dragon's expression was somewhat complicated, and he said softly, "But I have observed that the Qin Kingdom's national destiny will soon come to an end."

It recalled the threat from the mountain guard and a hint of anger appeared in its eyes.

Tang Xin thought thoughtfully, the Qin Dynasty was indeed very short, lasting only fourteen years.

The Qin Dynasty destroyed the Han Dynasty, which was a historical inevitability.

Black Dragon stared at Tang Xin for a long time before tentatively asking, "Sir, Xiaolong will eventually face off against this generation of mountain keepers. The mountain keepers are rude and unreasonable, demanding that Xiaolong surrender the fate of the Qin Empire. As a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, I wonder if you, sir, can mediate and intervene. If the Xiong clan intervenes, I'm afraid even the mountain keepers will have to abide by your rules."

"what?"

Tang Xin turned to look at Hei Long and was stunned for a long time.

Will it and the mountain guardian finally fight?

What do you mean? I am the mountain keeper!

But soon, Tang Xin realized that he did not belong to this era.

Although she is also a mountain keeper, she is not the mountain keeper of this era.

How could it be possible that the mountain keepers of later generations would cross the river of history to beat up the mountain keepers of previous generations?

Isn't this against Tiangang?

Besides, Tang Xin knows his own worth better than anyone else.

She didn't have any means of attack and thought she could control time, but in the end she didn't even understand time. She had been in the Qin Dynasty for several months and hadn't found a way to go back.

Although she has the ability to control time, she is exiled in the long river of time...

Seeing that Tang Xin didn't speak, Black Dragon said, "Sir, please don't blame me. It was Xiaolong who was rude."

Tang Xin was silent for a moment, then asked in confusion, "The duty of a mountain keeper is to consolidate the seal, deal with creatures that escape from the mountain and sea world, or seal off evil creatures that attempt to interfere with or subvert the world. What does this have to do with you?"

Hearing this, Black Dragon was visibly taken aback and asked curiously, "Uh... May I ask, sir, what does the Mountain and Sea World mean?"

Tang Xin realized that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" may have taken shape in the early Han Dynasty, and was then compiled into a book by several generations of mountain keepers. In this era, there seems to be no such thing as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", so Black Dragon has no concept of the world of mountains and seas.

Tang Xin explained: "The Three Islands of Penglai? Anyway, it's the place where Huangdi and Chiyou sealed the ancient evil creatures."

The Black Dragon suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. The seal is in what the Youxiong clan calls the Mountain and Sea World."

Tang Xin: "..."

Judging from the current trend, could it be that even the emergence of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is related to her?

The Black Dragon sighed, "Sir, you don't know that the mountain guard has already found Xiaolong and forced him to hand over the national destiny. However, the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty has long been integrated with me, and it is difficult to separate. Moreover... if Xiaolong really handed over the national destiny, wouldn't that be a betrayal to Qin and a betrayal of his best friend? Such behavior is even worse than those evil creatures!"

It has been worshipped by the Qin Dynasty for more than 500 years and has become the mythical beast that controls the destiny of the Qin Dynasty.

It is absolutely impossible to let Black Dragon betray.

Tang Xin asked in confusion, "What is the origin of this generation of mountain keepers, and why did they ask you to hand over the fate of Qin?"

The Black Dragon pondered for a moment. "To answer your question, sir, this generation of mountain keepers possesses unprecedentedly powerful magical powers. They can offer sacrifices to gods, exorcise ghosts, and ward off plagues. In the past, they dedicated themselves to protecting the world. Once, the Phoenix, one of the four heavenly spirits, escaped from the land of mountains and seas you mentioned. After being re-suppressed by them, for some unknown reason, its nature seems to have undergone an unknown change. It has come to me to demand the fate of the nation. I wonder if it intends to interfere with the human dynasty, or if it has other plans. In short... this must have exceeded the scope of a mountain keeper's duties."

After hearing Heilong's explanation, Tang Xin felt even more puzzled.

She had heard Zhangzhu mention the duties of a mountain guardian, which was only to consolidate the seal and seal away the evil creatures.

If what Black Dragon said was true, then this mountain keeper really shouldn't have done that. As a descendant of the later generations, she couldn't judge the changes in dynasties in history; she only knew it was a historical inevitability.

But the imperial court never changes, so what business does Guan Shoushan have?

As a mountain guardian, you must have a sense of boundaries!

The duty of the mountain keeper is to protect the world from being destroyed and subverted by special creatures.

How could a mountain guardian force a divine beast to hand over the fate of the country? Wouldn't that be robbery?

This is just like Tang Xin saying to Black Dragon, "Lao Deng, give me your power quickly, or I will beat you to death!"

After a long time, Tang Xin relaxed a little: "Let me think about it."

Black Dragon's face was filled with gratitude: "Thank you very much, sir! With your help, this disaster will be easily resolved."

Tang Xin shook her head: "I'm just considering it, I may not be able to intervene."

If we follow the inevitability of history, the fall of Qin was unchangeable and it would be replaced by Han.

Doesn’t that mean that the national destiny in the black dragon’s body has indeed dissipated?

As a spectator in the long river of history, what can I change?

Don’t let the mountain guard kill her too.

Of course, this was just Tang Xin's guess. As for what exactly happened, she had no idea.

After all, there is no record of mountain guards in history, so we can only take one step at a time.

The Black Dragon didn't force anything, but simply said, "I have only one request. I would like to ask you to protect my son no matter what. If you can agree to this, I will be very grateful!"

Tang Xin nodded: "Okay, I can promise you this."

In fact, there is no need for the Black Dragon to "grovel" and plead. Little Qin Ying must exist. This has been verified by history and there can be no mistake. Otherwise, how could he be kicked into the Qin Dynasty?
……

Many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

But to Tang Xin, it seemed like only a few days had passed.

"Master eats fish!"

In the mountains and forests, Qin Ying transformed into a human form, squatted beside the stream, caught a fat fish from it, walked quickly to Tang Xin, and held the fish high.

"What a good little bastard!"

Tang Xin pulled Qin Ying to her side and pinched his chubby face hard.

Little Qin Ying rubbed his face and said, "Master, I'm not a little bastard, I'm a snake cub and a dragon cub!"

Tang Xin stared at Qin Ying and sneered: "You little bastard, you will bring disaster to Master when you grow up!"

Little Qin Ying quickly shook his head, his face full of grievance: "No, Master, I won't! When Qin Ying grows up, he must be filial to his parents!"

Tang Xin asked, "You are filial to your parents, what does that have to do with Master?"

Little Qin Ying blinked his eyes: "But didn't Master say that once a teacher, always a father? Then Master is also my father and mother!"

Tang Xin: "Hehe..."

When you grow up, don't kick me back to the Qin Dynasty, and don't force me to go to the Shanhai World to get the phoenix blood. I will burn incense and thank you!
However, Tang Xin really didn't realize that Qin Ying was so sweet-mouthed when he was a child. How could he become like that when he grew up?

Which bastard turned a good child into that kind of person?
