Nightmare Card House

About an hour later, Li Xiang appeared at the door of the fast food restaurant.

"Hey! Fang Tian!"

Noticing Fang Tian sitting by the window, Li Xiang walked over excitedly and sat opposite Fang Tian. "You were not here last night. Good man, I ate melons all night. Let me tell you, the latest news is that the person who was kidnapped was Qi Hongkuo, the direct descendant of the first generation of the head of the Imperial Observatory. Good man, the Blood Spirit Society is quite capable. This is to hit the snake at its weakest point. It is not ambiguous at all. It directly found the lifeblood of the Imperial Observatory and started!"

"I was thinking about it before. I thought that the Imperial Observatory was doing public relations everywhere, but why was the Blood Spirit Society so quiet and silent? It turns out that the Blood Spirit Society has no intention of reconciling with the Imperial Observatory. They plan to directly use Qi Hongkuo's life to exchange for the life of the traitor."

Li Xiang said and smashed smacked his lips, with the expectation of a bystander, "This is going to be interesting. The Blood Spirit Society is so bold that they don't take the entire Southern Mysterious Alliance seriously. They probably don't realize how much symbolic significance Qi Hongkuo has for the Imperial Observatory. I heard that late last night, a certain ancestor who had been in seclusion at the Imperial Observatory headquarters came out immediately after receiving the news and rushed directly to the Southern Capital. He also said that if Qi Hongkuo made any mistakes, the entire Blood Spirit Society would pay with his life!"

"Oh! I feel excited just thinking about it. The Mysterious Side hasn't encountered such a big event for a long time. I don't know if the Blood Spirit Society will participate in the conference later. Will there be a real fight at that time..."

"Hey, Li Xiang." Seeing Seeing Li Xiang getting more and more excited, even dancing with joy, Fang Tian couldn't help interrupting him and shook his head, saying, "Your information seems to be a little behind. I got first-hand information that Qi Hongkuo has been taken back by the Imperial Observatory."

"What?" Li Xiang was stunned at first, then he became more energetic, and took out an iPad and a small keyboard from somewhere, "Didn't the Imperial Observatory be pressed to the ground by the Blood Spirit Society? You said that the people of the Imperial Observatory found Qi Hongkuo? What's going on? Tell me in detail."

Fang Tian roughly told the news he got from Master Mao not long ago, and finally concluded, "In short, Qi Hongkuo is not in the hands of the Blood Spirit Society now, and he should have been taken back. , but I heard that a jade pendant was left behind. "

"Jade pendant? What jade pendant?"

"You haven't heard of it either? I heard that it was the jade pendant that Qi Hongkuo always carried with him. It might have some special function. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory spent a lot of effort to recover this jade pendant."

Li Xiang blinked his eyes, tapped his fingers quickly on the keyboard, and said: "I haven't heard of similar records. Write it down. By the way, is the jade pendant still in the hands of the Blood Spirit Society?"

Fang Tian glanced at the phone and said, "Yes."

Li Xiang raised his eyebrows and rubbed his hands excitedly, "Then there will be a good show to watch. Wait for me for a while."

Fang Tian had no choice but to wait silently for Li Xiang to type a long manuscript, and looked at him and sighed.

"Is it done? Can we talk business now?"

"Hey, don't worry, it's almost done." Li Xiang put away the iPad on the table with satisfaction, then adjusted his sitting posture, looked around vigilantly, and whispered: "Fang Tian, ​​we are talking here, won't be overheard by others?"

"No, even if someone hears it, they won't take it seriously."

"That's true." Li Xiang laughed at himself, and took out an old booklet from his pocket, and he carefully opened one of the pages.

Fang Tian was very interested in the power of demons. His expression became more serious and he said, "Tell me about it."

"Solomon chose to go deep into the demon world to get more powerful demon power. He used a powerful magic ring to carve a mark on the demon's neck, driving them as slaves and summoning them to our world, becoming the 72 familiars recorded in the book." Li Xiang carefully turned over a page of the book in his hand and continued, "Solomon's 72 familiars are different, and their abilities are also strong and weak. The hidden lines on the coin represent the power of the mark that Solomon carved on the demon. It has the ability to control the familiar."

Li Xiang had already said these before, Fang Tian nodded and said, "So what new discoveries are there this time?"

"These contents were left by my ancestors, and the credibility is no problem. After we separated last time, I went back and checked carefully. I read the legends related to Solomon's coins, and contacted some of my grandfather's friends. I found something very important, which may help you control the demon in the coin. "

Li Xiang put away his precious booklet, ordered a glass of orange juice for himself, and said slowly, "Solomon used coins to suppress the familiar and obtain the power of the familiar. On the surface, the thing that suppresses the familiar is the rune on the coin, but the real situation is not like this."

"The thing that can really suppress the familiar is not the coin, but a container, a container box with seventy-two coins. That container has powerful power. It can consolidate the imprint on the coin and allow the coin to control the familiar." Li Xiang said, took out two photos and handed them over, "Here, take a look."

Fang Tian took the two photos from Li Xiang and compared them separately.

"This is the photo I took of the Solomon coin in your hand before. The other photo was taken from an ancient book. Both are photos of the same coin. Did you see it? The one in your hand The lines on the coin are very light in the photo, but the lines on the other photo taken more than a hundred years ago are much darker. Assuming that my theory is correct, without the containment of the container, the magic mark on the Solomon coin is exactly the same. Gradually it becomes ineffective, and its power to suppress the familiars sealed within it is constantly decreasing."

Fang Tian flipped his wrist, held the Solomon coin in his hand, examined it, and compared it with the other photo of the ancient book.

Indeed, as Li Xiang said, the outermost periphery of the coin is composed of several texture marks. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to distinguish these marks from before death, but now compared with the photos, the texture of the coin on the hand is obviously very thin.

"What happens if the brand fails?"

"This...I don't know about this..." Li Xiang leaned over and whispered, "Maybe the familiar will break away from Solomon's seal, and it may not break free from the coin."

"Okay," Fang Tian shrugged, "Then let's continue talking about the box. Where is the container and box now? Have you checked it."

"I checked. It's a pity. Judging from the recorded information, the box was given to Solomon's descendants for safekeeping and disappeared during the war. There is no further information. I guess it may have been destroyed."
