Lin Qiye roughly understood the current situation.
After the colorful smoke descended, Queen Mother of the West realized that another batch of identical replicas had appeared in the Yaochi. After testing, she found that these counterfeits could not be distinguished from the fakes at all, and were completely mixed in with the gods in the Yaochi.
In order to prevent fake gods from escaping Yaochi and sneaking into the Heavenly Palace to cause greater trouble, and also to protect the elixir of immortality, the Queen Mother of the West simply carried out a bloodbath in Yaochi and killed all the gods shrouded in smoke, whether real or fake... In this way, the trouble could be completely eliminated in Yaochi.
So, she sent Jia Lan and Jiang Zhu out and agreed to a deadline of ten days... Because according to her calculations, it would only take her ten days at most to kill everyone in the Yao Chi.
However, in the process, she unsurprisingly encountered a counterfeit of herself.
Since the fake has the same personality and way of thinking as the Queen Mother of the West, and both want to protect the Heavenly Palace and the elixir of immortality, the fake will definitely agree to clear out the Yaochi Lake first. This is why the two of them joined forces to kill Ju Mang and Zhu Rong just now.
How cruel... Lin Qiye looked at the two Queen Mothers of the West in the sky and couldn't help but think.
Her own territory, her own guards, her own invited guests, she massacred them without hesitation, not even leaving a single crane behind... She is worthy of being the queen mother of the gods.
"This is the first time I've seen humans break into Yaochi." The Queen Mother of the West on the left slowly spoke, "From what I saw just now, they seemed to want to break into the Alchemy Palace? Are they here to steal the elixir?"
"In that case, just kill them all." The Queen Mother on the right nodded.
"etc!!"
Before the two Queen Mothers could make a move, the door to the Dharma Hall was pushed open. Jia Lan hurried out and saluted the two Queen Mothers:
"My queen! They are not bad people! They are here to help you."
"Jialan? Didn't I tell you to come back in four days?" Seeing Galan suddenly appear, the two Queen Mothers frowned at the same time.
Jia Lan said bitterly, "Reporting to the Queen, if they hadn't rescued me, Jia Lan would have been hunted down and killed yesterday..."
"Hunting? Who wants to kill you?"
"Some disgusting-looking monsters... Lin Qiye said that they were followers of a certain Cthulhu god, and they were of the same origin as the monster that attacked Yao Chi not long ago."
Queen Mother of the West's gaze fell on Lin Qiye again, looking at him carefully, as if she was thinking about something.
Seeing that Queen Mother Xi had given up her killing intent, Lin Qiye knew that his chance had come. He took a deep breath and spoke seriously:
"My lady, I can tell whether you are genuine or not."
Hearing this, the two Queen Mothers of the West stared at each other: "Really?"
"really."
"Your Majesty, he is very powerful, you must believe in him!" Jia Lan supported Lin Qiye.
The two Queen Mothers of the West stared at Lin Qiye and asked doubtfully, "Tell me, how do you identify it?"
"Please come forward, ladies, so I can take a closer look."
At Lin Qiye's pleading, the two Queen Mothers of the West looked at each other, hesitated for a short time, and then floated down from the sky at the same time and stood in front of Lin Qiye.
The two Queen Mothers of the West have the same idea. They both think they are real, but they know that their cognition may be modified... In short, they are not even sure whether they are real or fake.
If Lin Qiye could give an answer and a reason, they might take it as a reference... But it was just a reference. They couldn't possibly bet their lives on a mortal they met for the first time.
"My lady, come closer."
Queen Mother of the West frowned, but still took two steps forward.
Lin Qiye touched his chin thoughtfully, first walked to the left Queen Mother of the West, looked around carefully, then frowned, walked behind the Queen Mother of the West on the right, and looked around...
"How do you know how to tell the difference?" Queen Mother of the West frowned, seeming a little displeased.
"My lady, I have something here, please take a look..."
Lin Qiye placed his tightly clenched right hand between the two Queen Mothers of the West. When they turned their heads at the same time, he slowly opened his palm...
Whoosh!!!
In an instant, a flash of sword light shot out from Lin Qiye's other hand and instantly pierced through the chest of the Queen Mother of the West on the right!
At such a close distance, even the Queen Mother of the West had no time to react. They did not even expect that this mortal would dare to take the opportunity to draw his sword directly at them.
"She's fake!" Lin Qiye yelled.
The Queen Mother of the West on the left reacted immediately, and pressed out one hand in the air, taking the lead in suppressing the huge mirror in the sky. Because no matter whether it was the real Queen Mother of the West or the fake one, she had the power to control the Kunlun Mirror. If the other party seized the opportunity to control the Kunlun Mirror, things would be troublesome again.
Then, her other white palm followed Lin Qiye's sword and pierced directly into the chest of the other Queen Mother of the West. The terrifying green light surged out like a tide, tearing half of the latter's body in an instant.
The fake Queen Mother of the West widened her eyes and looked down at the wound, as if she had noticed something. Her expression was somewhat helpless, yet somewhat relieved.
"I'm sorry, Madam." Lin Qiye bowed deeply. "I was afraid that you might not believe me. I was also afraid that after I pointed you out, Kusuen would temporarily modify your perception and cause unnecessary trouble. That's why I acted rashly..."
The fake Queen Mother of the West looked at him without saying a word. She just slowly closed her eyes. The vitality in her body quickly dissipated and finally disappeared completely, turning into a willow branch with two eyeballs.
The Kunlun Mirror hanging high in the sky eventually shrank to the size of a palm and returned to the sleeve of the real Queen Mother of the West.
A breeze mixed with a strong smell of blood blew by, and the entire Yaochi fell into deathly silence.
"You... your name is Lin Qiye?" After a long time, Queen Mother of the West spoke slowly.
"yes."
"How do you distinguish the real from the fake?"
"Depends on cause and effect." Lin Qiye said, "However, only I can see this thread of cause and effect..."
"No wonder..."
Queen Mother of the West nodded, her eyes swept across the dead and blood-red Yaochi, and she sighed, "If you had come six days earlier, I wouldn't have to resort to this desperate measure."
"Your Majesty, this is a last resort. I understand." Lin Qiye paused for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, I solved the problem of the fake for you. Can I count it as a credit?"
"nature."
"Since you have done a great service, I would like to ask you for something."
Queen Mother Xi's gaze fell on Lin Qiye, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "Is this the reason why you came to see me?"
"Yes... but not entirely."
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Lin Qiye said solemnly: "My Lady, I want to ask for a Yaochi peach for my friend."
