How to catch a demon god? !

Qiao Pingyang came out of Li's house that day, and was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he went directly to a jewelry processing shop with the blue stone in his pocket.Under the envious eyes of everyone, he took out a sapphire the size of a pigeon's egg (not), chose a platinum ring setting with plain color, hollowed out and carved, and asked the store to set it into a ring.The construction period was one week, and the day when Qiao Qianyu was released from Jie Chen happened to be the day when Qiao Pingyang picked up the ring.

Qiao Pingyang was going to the Li family's dinner party tonight, and it was Mr. Li who personally handwritten the invitation and sent it to him, in order to thank him for saving Mr. Li's life.

The main name of the dinner is the board member alternation ceremony of the family business. In fact, it has nothing to do with Qiao Pingyang, but the Li family is a local snake in the north of the city, with a strong network of connections. The participants are either business leaders or political elites. They are guests of the Li family. It's always good to meet people.

For this reason, Qiao Pingyang specially took care of his slightly curly hair today, brushed the left side behind the ear and sprayed it with setting spray, and the right bang was slightly longer to cover the right eyebrow, revealing a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.His mother, Qiao Qianyu's grandmother, was recognized as a lady from a famous family when she was young, with a delicate and straight nose, and charming and heroic eyebrows. She was praised as a rare beauty in a century, and Qiao Pingyang inherited this very well. .Put on a well-made dark brown three-piece suit, and the whole person looks brand new.As long as you add a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, you should be able to go directly to the Hengdian crew to play a cannibal scum in the French Concession in the 30s, just like the old man who usually wears a sweatshirt and baggy trousers.So much so that when he came to pick up the ring, the shop owner didn't recognize him at a glance, and only after reading the receipt did he slap his head and match him with the scruffy young man who brought the sapphire last week.

"Mr. Qiao, this is your ring. You can try it." The boss took out a velvet ring box from the inner room, and praised the sapphire with its pure blue and first-class clarity.

Qiao Pingyang was amused in his heart, yes, of course he has a lot of background, I don't know where the magic can condense the evil spirit into gems.He took a look at the ring and put it on his left thumb.

Well, it works well.

After leaving the store, Li Yue's commercial vehicle was waiting in front of the store.

"Old Joe, get in the car."

Qiao Pingyang got on the co-pilot with ease, and put on his seat belt without any hassle.

"The new ring is not bad. What's the matter, look at your posture, are you going to fascinate thousands of girls tonight?"

"I'm not interested in girls. Are there any boys?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I really don't know whether I should thank you for not looking at me."

"Mr. Li, have you misunderstood?" Qiao Pingyang glanced at Li Yue with a half-smile, "I'm a very picky eater."

At seven o'clock in the evening, the living room of Li's house was brightly lit, and people toasted, talked, and mingled with each other, and there was constant laughter.Mr. Li entertained guests lavishly, and all the red wine was shipped from top French wineries. It is said that the pianist was also specially invited from Vienna.

The handover ceremony was very brief. Li Tianze took the stage to speak, to the effect that he was still young and needed more training, so he was willing to retreat behind the scenes and devote himself to research to provide technical support for Li. The position of the board of directors would be taken over by someone else.The newly appointed members of the board of directors will then announce their appointments.

Li Tianze, whose appearance had returned to its original state after the procedure, greeted Qiao Pingyang with a boy also in a suit.The boy is none other than Shui Furong.

"Mr. Qiao, thanks to you a few days ago, I don't know how to thank you."

"You're welcome, I'm not a voluntary laborer, I got paid." Qiao Pingyang looked at the two of them with interest, "It seems that you and Shui Furong get along well."

"My name is Li Han...he gave me a name..."

Give him the surname Li?

Qiao Pingyang's smile deepened to another level.The so-called money is hard to buy the person you like, but this time the Li family made a small fortune to save Shui Furong's life, but it was worth it.

"I don't think I'll bother you, I'll go over there and have something to eat."

Qiao Pingyang, who was clear in his heart, slipped away in time before he became two hundred watts.

Because Qiao Pingyang was dressed like a dog today, his appearance was extraordinary, and the sapphire ring was very eye-catching, there were quite a few Yingying and Yanyan who were attracted by him, but he cleverly avoided them.

In the end, Qiao Pingyang, who was a little socially tired, hid on the balcony with a glass of wine.

The crisp sound of high heels colliding with the ground came from behind.

"Mr. Qiao, I need something to ask."

The person came with a Wu accent and a very soft voice.

Qiao Pingyang turned sideways, and stood in front of a young woman with short ear-length hair and emerald earrings.He has an impression of this face.

"Could it be that it belongs to the Zhou family?"

"Mr. Qiao actually recognizes me? Thank you for your love. This is the first time we met, I am Zhou Jingyi." Zhou Jingyi took out a business card case from his handbag familiarly, pulled out a card, and handed it over politely.

Zhou Zhongzhong Antique pawn shop appraiser, Zhou Jingyi.

Qiao Pingyang accepted the business card, and thought about how much he could earn from this order. It was really three years without opening and opening for three years. "Miss Zhou, if you want to entrust our Qiao family with something, it's okay."

"There are so many people here that it's inconvenient to talk. I hope Mr. Qiao can spare some time to come to my house." Zhou Jingyi refused to tell the whole story, as if he had some scruples.

"Now?"

"Now."

10:30pm?What is so urgent that you can't even wait for tomorrow morning?Qiao Pingyang was a little surprised, but he agreed, "Of course, the client is God. Ms. Zhou, please lead the way."

Zhou Jingyi is the only daughter of the Zhou family. It can be said that Zhou Zhongzhong's antique pawn shop will be her personal property sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.Qiao Pingyang looked at her as if he was looking at a giant moving gold bar.

The driver drove Zhou Jingyi and Qiao Pingyang back to the Zhou Mansion, which is located in the downtown area in the south of the city and has an excellent quiet location.It was nearly twelve o'clock.

"I'm the only one living here now. Please come in." Zhou Jing turned on the ceiling light in the room as soon as he entered the door, and led Qiao Pingyang to the second floor. "Grandpa moved back to Jiangnan long ago, saying that it is clean. My mother is traveling around the world now, and she won’t be back in the near future. The helper’s aunt leaves after work at five o’clock in the afternoon.”

The Zhou mansion is divided into two floors. In the city center where every inch of land is expensive, the single family with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters is priceless and hard to estimate.On the left hand side of the second floor are the bedrooms of Zhou Jingyi and Zhou's father and Zhou mother, and on the right hand side is a guest room, an empty room that is now used to store antiques brought in by new pawns.

Zhou Jing and Qiao Pingyang came to the room where the antiques were piled up, which was almost a small temporary warehouse.Antique musical instruments, antique furniture, everything big and small.

"Mr. Qiao, look, this is what I want you to look at. This dressing table was recovered from a customer at a high price not long ago. It is estimated that it has traveled across the ocean from Northern Europe to China. The wood is very old. , The manufacturing process of hardware is also quite complicated."

The wooden dressing table that Zhou Jingyi was referring to was placed in a corner of the room. It was not big, about one meter wide, and had an oval dressing mirror on it.

"It's beautiful. It should fetch a good price." Qiao Pingyang lightly touched the surface of the dressing table, and the wood became extremely moist after time, and it felt good to the touch.He also pulled out the drawer under the dressing table to check. The roller didn't feel stuck, which showed that the original owner had taken good care of it.

Zhou Jingyi nodded in agreement, "That's what I thought about at first, and I could earn at least a hundred thousand dollars in price difference. But one night when I was checking the room, I found this vanity mirror was a bit weird. Afterwards, I After observing for many days, the same situation occurs every day.”

"How to say?"

"At night, the mirror itself will fog up." Zhou Jing looked at his phone to confirm the time. At 57:[-], "It's about this time every day. It may take a while. The mirror suddenly seems to be covered by someone. Take a breath, and then there will be strange graphics..."

The direction in the middle of the night seems to be a bit strange, Qiao Pingyang is depressed, maybe he should find out about Xie’s family again... But Zhou Jingyi used the word "weird" instead of "scary" or "scary" ".

"What kind of graphics?"

"Well... ah, it seems to have begun!"

As Zhou Jingyi said, the center of the vanity mirror is quickly covered with a layer of mist, just like the mirror in the bathroom when you take a bath in winter, or the glasses lenses when you walk into a hot pot restaurant from the outside in winter, gradually turning into a fog. vast expanse of whiteness.Immediately afterwards, as if someone was drawing on the mirror with their fingers, a pattern appeared inexplicably on the foggy surface.

Qiao Pingyang leaned closer and thought about it carefully, and took a picture with his mobile phone before the pattern disappeared.

Because, he thinks, this is not some strange figure, but a map with poor drawing and distorted proportions——.

The map that appeared on the vanity mirror at midnight?

Well, things seem to be getting interesting.

"Miss Zhou, this matter is very difficult." Qiao Pingyang said solemnly to Zhou Jingyi, "I'm afraid, the commission will have to be doubled!"
