Chapter 136: Boneless man As Duong Kha Nhi spoke, she carefully observed Tang Dong's face. She witnessed Tang Dong's bravery and also felt the pure Taoist aura on her body. Tang Dong listened very calmly, but when the part came: A mark appeared on Luu Hong Duc's forehead, so she interrupted and asked Muc Dung: "Do you still keep the soul of second sister Liu?" Mu Dung said "um" and suddenly had a little guess in his mind. Tang Dong touched his chin in deep thought. Duong Kha Nhi remained silent, looking impatiently at Muc Dung and Tang Dong. After about ten minutes, Tang Dong finally opened his mouth: "Let me try." She picked up the black suitcase and placed it on the table. She took out the yellow talisman, looked at it for a moment, then returned it to its original place. She took out the talisman with the white spell drawing. She took a deep breath in regret, then turned it over. On the back of the talisman, take a brush and dip it in cinnabar, write Liu Hong Duc's name and eight characters, dry it and burn it. The talisman turned into ash, in the same position another purple talisman appeared. Tang Dong signaled for help from Muc Dung. Muc Dung took the talisman and gave it to Duong Kha Nhi.

From the bestselling author of The Ascent of Money and The Square and the Tower, the definitive biography of Henry Kissinger, based on unprecedented access to his private papers. Winner of the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book Award No American statesman has been as revered or as reviled as Henry Kissinger. Once hailed as “Super K”—the “indispensable man” whose advice has been sought by every president from Kennedy to Obama—he has also been hounded by conspiracy theorists, scouring his every “telcon” for evidence of Machiavellian malfeasance. Yet as Niall Ferguson shows in this magisterial two-volume biography, drawing not only on Kissinger’s hitherto closed private papers but also on documents from more than a hundred archives around the world, the idea of Kissinger as the ruthless arch-realist is based on a profound misunderstanding. The first half of Kissinger’s life is usually skimmed over as a quintessential tale of American ascent: the Jewish refugee from Hitler’s Germany who made it to the White House. But in this first of two volumes, Ferguson shows that what Kissinger achieved before his appointment as Richard Nixon’s national security adviser was astonishing in its own right. Toiling as a teenager in a New York factory, he studied indefatigably at night. He was drafted into the U.S. infantry and saw action at the Battle of the Bulge—as well as the liberation of a concentration camp—but ended his army career interrogating Nazis. It was at Harvard that Kissinger found his vocation. Having immersed himself in the philosophy of Kant and the diplomacy of Metternich, he shot to celebrity by arguing for “limited nuclear war.” Nelson Rockefeller hired him. Kennedy called him to Camelot. Yet Kissinger’s rise was anything but irresistible. Dogged by press gaffes and disappointed by “Rocky,” Kissinger seemed stuck—until a trip to Vietnam changed everything. The Idealist is the story of one of the most important strategic thinkers America has ever produced. It is also a political Bildungsroman, explaining how “Dr. Strangelove” ended up as consigliere to a politician he had always abhorred. Like Ferguson’s classic two-volume history of the House of Rothschild, Kissinger sheds dazzling new light on an entire era. The essential account of an extraordinary life, it recasts the Cold War world.
