He Ziwei looked at Qin Haodong with eyes full of admiration, but also a lot of shock and confusion.
Since this man appeared, he has refreshed her knowledge time and time again, cooking dishes with different flavors and singing melody that she has never heard before.
Now she used an extremely weird artifact to kill dozens of masters in the integration stage in the blink of an eye. She really didn't know what kind of man the Marriage Rat had found for her.
"This is a weapon left to me by my master. It is quite useful sometimes."
Naturally, Qin Haodong couldn't explain to them what a GAT Lin heavy machine gun was. He could only speak vaguely, and then put the gun into the storage ring.
The crisis had been resolved, and He Changqing was seriously injured. Instead of continuing on their way, they found a flat place and landed on the ground.
He asked the Three-legged Golden Toad to check whether the ghost slaves of the Ghost King Sect were alive, and then he began to treat He Changqing's injuries.
After checking the injured left arm, the eighth elder's palm was indeed heavy enough and had broken the arm bone into countless pieces. If it hadn't been for him, this arm would have been completely disabled.
First, he used the bodhisattva hand to connect the broken bones piece by piece, and then used the Huitian needle to repair the injured meridians. Finally, He Changqing was given a healing elixir to let him rest slowly, and he could recover in three days.
Seeing that her father was fine, He Ziwei's tense nerves finally relaxed.
He Changqing said: "Xiao Qin, I really want to thank you this time. Without you, our He family would really be finished."
Qin Haodong said: "Uncle is being polite, it doesn't mean anything."
He Ziwei said angrily: "The people of the Ghost King Sect are really cunning. They have been hiding in Scarlet Flame City for so many years, and even the city lord was killed by them."
He Changqing nodded and said: "Indeed, in recent years, I have felt that there is something wrong with Zhuo Wangsun, but I didn't expect that it was the eighth elder of the Ghost King Sect pretending to be him."
He Ziwei asked doubtfully: "Father, what exactly is the black magic bead? It can make the Ghost King Sect spend so much effort. Does our family have such a thing?"
Another thing I don’t understand is that with the strength of the Ghost King Sect, if it’s easy to steal our things, why do you have to go to such trouble? Pretending to be the city lord has been lurking for so long?”
"You girl, you ask too many questions!" He Changqing looked at He Ziwei dotingly, and then said, "This matter is a long story, so let's start from the beginning slowly."
"Then let's talk, we're not in a hurry to leave anyway!"
He Ziwei took Qin Haodong and sat across from He Changqing.
Qin Haodong was also full of curiosity about this thing called the Black Magic Bead, and was waiting for He Changqing's answer.
"This matter starts from the war between the human race and the foreign demon tribe. At that time, due to the emergence of the four spiritual springs, the human race became more and more powerful, with more and more masters, and began to launch a crazy attack on the foreign demon tribe.
.
After a series of battles, the human race finally captured the palace of the alien demons, and with the joint efforts of seven Mahayana stage Dzogchen masters, they killed the alien demon emperor."
Qin Haodong secretly thought in his heart that the most powerful Demon Emperor had been killed by the Yellow Emperor, Chi You and other ancient great masters. The Demon Emperor here should be re-elected by the remaining Demon clan.
Even so, it is powerful enough to be able to fight against seven Mahayana masters on its own.
He Changqing continued: "After the human race completely won this war, everyone
Start cleaning the battlefield and collect the loot.
The most attractive thing to the human race is naturally the treasure house of the Emperor of the Strange Demon. When people found the treasure house and opened it, they found 7 black orbs in the most dangerous position.
These seven orbs are extraordinary at first glance, and they are stored separately, which shows their importance to the strange demon emperor.
The seven most powerful families at that time each received a jewel, but no one knew what it was or its use.
Later, people interrogated the remaining royal family of the alien demon clan, and finally learned from a steward that this was a black magic bead refined by the alien demon emperor with all the efforts of the clan.
It turns out that not long ago, the Strange Demon King refined this kind of thing when he saw that the human race was strong and the Strange Demon clan was gone.
It is said that gathering 7 black magic beads can awaken the demon god sleeping underground, and the alien demons can be reborn.
But before it could be used, human soldiers and horses attacked.
After learning the usefulness of the Black Magic Pearl, the human race was extremely frightened. If the sleeping demon god was really awakened, the Lingwu Continent would be in disaster again.
After discussion, the seven major families decided to destroy the Black Magic Pearl. But it was unknown what kind of treasure it was made from, and they could not destroy it even after exhausting all methods.
In the end, there was really no other way. The seven major families took away the seven black magic beads and kept them separately. Although they cannot be destroyed, they must not let their seven black magic beads come together. It is best to disappear forever."
Speaking of this, He Changqing sighed, "It has been so many years since the incident, and the seven major families back then have all declined, and there are even fewer people who know about the existence of the Black Magic Pearl.
The Ghost King Sect heard the news somewhere and went to Scarlet Flame City to find the He family."
It was also the first time that He Ziwei heard her father mention this legend, and she listened with great interest. After the story was finished, she asked: "Father, after talking so much, do we have any black magic beads in our family?"
He Changqing said: "After so many years, everything about the Black Magic Pearl is just a legend.
I guess the Ghost King Sect also heard some news that our family owns the Black Magic Pearl, but they are not sure, so they want to find out the news through the marriage between Zhuo Wengong and you."
Qin Haodong said: "On the other hand, it also shows that the Ghost King Sect attaches great importance to the Black Magic Pearl, so it spends so much effort in order to accurately capture the Black Magic Pearl."
He Ziwei said anxiously: "What riddles are you two playing? Tell me quickly, do we have any black magic beads in our house?"
"Girl, what are you so anxious about? That thing is not good for us at all." He Changqing smiled slightly, "Back then, among the seven major families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty's Strange Demon Palace, our He family was among them.
It’s just that our family has declined over the years, our talents have withered, and we have lost the glory of the past.”
He Ziwei said in surprise: "It turns out that the legends are true. There really is a black magic bead in our family. Why didn't you tell me before?"
He Changqing said: "According to the family motto handed down from our ancestors, the Black Magic Pearl must be kept secret and must not be spread to outsiders. I'll tell you what to do."
He Ziwei took He Changqing's hand and said, "Hurry up and show me what kind of treasure this black magic bead is."
He Changqing said: "This thing is a treasure to the alien demon clan, but a disaster to us humans. What's so good about it?"
He Ziwei said coquettishly: "Then I want to see it too."
"All right
, I’ll show it to you if you want to see it.”
He Changqing stretched out his uninjured right hand, and with a thought, a black ball the size of an egg appeared in his palm.
"Look, this is the black magic bead that is said to be able to bring the alien demons back to life!"
He Ziwei reached out and took the black magic bead in her palm, looked at it carefully and said, "You can't tell anything from this. Master Qin, take a look at it. Is there anything special about it?"
As she said this, she handed over the black magic bead. Qin Haodong took it into his hand and looked at it, but didn't see anything special about it.
He scanned it with his soul again, but was surprised to find that the invincible soul could not penetrate this black magic bead.
This black magic bead contains extremely powerful energy, but I don't know how to activate it.
After looking at it for a while, he handed the Black Magic Pearl back to He Changqing.
He Ziwei said: "This thing is a treasure left by the strange demon clan. What does the Ghost King Sect want them to do?"
"Xiao Qin, what do you think?"
He Changqing looked at Qin Haodong, and his words sounded like he was taking a test.
Qin Haodong thought for a moment and said, "I think there are two possibilities for the Ghost King Sect to snatch the Black Magic Pearl."
He Ziwei said: "Mr. Qin, what is possible? Tell me quickly."
"The first possibility is that someone in the Ghost King Sect has mastered the use of the Black Magic Pearl and can benefit from it after getting it."
He Changqing nodded, "Yes, what about the second possibility?"
Qin Haodong said: "Although the human race won the war between humans and demons back then, there was no guarantee that the alien demon race would be completely eradicated.
The Ghost King Sect is probably the remnant of the foreign demon clan or has an unclear relationship with the foreign demon clan, so it is trying to gather the seven black magic beads to resurrect the demon god and regain control of the Lingwu Continent."
Personally speaking, he is more inclined to the second possibility. No wonder the Ghost King Sect has sent people around recently, and the purpose should be to find information about the Black Magic Pearl.
"Yes, you said these are exactly what I have in mind."
He Changqing was extremely satisfied with Qin Haodong's answer, "In short, the Black Magic Pearl is extremely important to the Ghost King Sect, otherwise they would not spend so much manpower."
He Ziwei said worriedly: "What should we do? No matter what, we can't let the Ghost King Sect get the Black Magic Pearl."
Qin Haodong said: "Now we have a black magic bead here. I wonder where the other six are. Will they fall into the hands of the Ghost King Sect?"
He Changqing said: "After the victory of the seven major families, they were scattered throughout the Lingwu Continent. They had no contact with each other. They almost forgot about each other's existence, let alone what happened to each other now."
Qin Haodong said: "Uncle, does the He family know who the other six major families are?"
He Changqing shook his head: "Back then, our ancestors only asked for the protection of this black magic bead, and all other information was lost."
He Ziwei said: "I hope those families will not be discovered by the Ghost King Sect."
"The Ghost King Sect is too powerful. This time, just one eighth elder came and almost destroyed our He family. The He family has grown to our generation and has already lost its population. It has long lost the grace and strength of the seven major families back then.
.”
He Changqing sighed, looked up at Qin Haodong and said, "Xiao Qin, I can see that you are not an ordinary person. In order to ensure the safety of the Black Magic Pearl, I want to hand it into your hands. What do you think?
