Chapter 26 Sacrificing one’s life and eating one’s puppets
"..."
Bai Zeqing was holding tea, with his mouth half open, and didn't say a word for a while. He looked a little silly.
Zen Master Cifa could not help but tap the table and called out: "Little donor?"
"Ah?" Bai Zeqing responded, but still didn't speak immediately. She felt that her mind was getting more and more confused. She suddenly realized: No wonder, she looked through "Puppet Spirit Art" and couldn't find a way to stabilize the puppet spirit. Could it be that this
Is it Master's original creation? So is Master considered a puppet master?
She sighed slightly, whether the master was a puppet master or not, he would not teach her. When he threw the book to her, he said, "Learn by yourself." Moreover, the word "master" was just wishful thinking on her part.
She pressed her temples hard with her index and middle fingers, forced her brain back from the edge of giving up thinking, and asked:
"The "Collection of Yanshu" records: The wooden boy's paintings are printed with spirits called puppets. The difference between Yanshu and Puppetry is that Yanshu is driven by mechanical orifices. Even if the sculpture can move, it is an inanimate thing. And Puppetry
The emphasis is on the word "spirit". The puppet spirit has spiritual wisdom and cultivation from the beginning. It is not a mortal and has no lifespan. The only way to dissipate is the puppet seal. Right?"
Zen Master Cifa pondered for a moment and then said: "I know this is indeed the case. However, my knowledge is shallow, so I don't know if there are any exceptions."
Bai Zeqing felt extremely frightened when she thought about it carefully, and became even more confused.
Master said that Brother Qi was a puppet spirit, so that was correct. However, her puppet had no puppet mark!
Master must have discovered it a long time ago, but Master never mentioned it!
Master doesn't care at all, or is there some other reason?
She did not dare to ask Zen Master Cifa these words again, so she could only grit her teeth and collect her thoughts.
Bai Zeqing collapsed a little. Her face turned paler. She took a deep breath, changed her mind, and asked: "Zen Master, are there any puppet masters who become the puppet spirits you make?"
"You mean to sacrifice your body and eat your puppets!" Zen Master Cifa hurriedly said: "This is a witchcraft! You must not practice it."
…
After saying goodbye to Zen Master Cifa and returning to the monk's room, Bai Zeqing was still in a state where her brain was completely exhausted. The four words Zen Master Cifa said lingered in her mind. She couldn't help but slowly press the words.
The little wooden figure placed on the chest.
It turns out that is called "sacrifice one's body and eat one's puppets".
The master said that this is a puppet without an owner, so there is no puppet seal. The person who made the puppet slowly moistened it with his own blood and integrated his soul into the puppet, becoming the puppet spirit.
That was Brother Qi who was still holding on to protect himself after being hit by an arrow in his chest. His blood dripped onto the little wooden figure drop by drop, until no more blood dripped out...
"It's not a witchcraft!"
Bai Zeqing murmured, raised his hand to rub his sore nose, took a deep breath, and lay back on the bed.
Books say that a puppet with a puppet spirit is just like a living person, but what if there is a puppet spirit but it is still a wooden figure without the puppet spirit taking form?
The book also says, "If the soul is attracted and the soul is not cleansed? If the puppet spirit does not melt into the puppet, the puppet spirit will quickly wither."
Cleansing the soul, she knew, there is a saying in the puppet spirit technique, cleaning the soul is to eliminate the memory of the living soul. Only the living soul without an owner can be completely integrated into the puppet and become one.
Do you want...to erase Brother Qi's memory?
Bai Zeqing sniffed, turned over, and buried her face in the quilt. She didn't dare to think about Brother Qi who didn't know her...
However, if the spirit is not cleansed, it will wither away? She dare not even think about letting Brother Qi's puppet spirit wither away!
Is it possible to recover erased memories? If it cannot be recovered...
She stood up violently: Even if she couldn't recover, she definitely couldn't let Qi Ge disappear.
It doesn't matter, as long as Brother Qi is still there, the memories of being together will come naturally as we slowly get along. There's nothing to be obsessed with!
Bai Zeqing couldn't lie down any longer, so she stood up. It was already getting late, so she turned on the lamp and pulled out "The Art of Puppetry".
She wanted to establish contact with Qi Ge's puppet spirit as soon as possible.
There is a way, she wants to try it!
Bai Zeqing placed the wooden figure on the bed, silently reciting the "Puppet Spirit Technique" in his heart, and formed a seal in his hand.
A faint golden thread slowly overflowed from Bai Zeqing's little finger and swam gently towards the wooden figure.
"Puppet Spirit Art" says: The thumb controls the spirit, the index finger controls the spirit, the middle finger controls the form, the ring finger controls the force, and the little finger controls the connection between the puppet master and the puppet spirit.
The moment the golden thread touched the little figure, the invisible golden thread on the wooden figure suddenly lit up, and the whole room suddenly lit up with golden light.
Originally, if there was no other person's puppet mark on the puppet soul, it would not be too difficult for Bai Zeqing to establish contact and then cleanse the soul.
But she was too eager and ignored a very important thing: although Master Li had never established contact with the puppet spirit, in order to keep the puppet spirit together, he left a puppet thread on the puppet spirit to bind the puppet spirit!
And the power of this puppet thread is simply unbearable by Bai Zeqing, a puppet master who has just explored the path to entry.
Bai Zeqing felt that the puppet spirit was frantically consuming all the strength in her body, mobilizing her soul power. Bai Zeqing even felt that a faint golden light of her life flowed out from her little finger, and merged with the surrounding aura into the golden light of the puppet thread, and then like a sinking
Enter the air sea.
Bai Zeqing quickly concentrated on chanting a spell, hoping to take control of the golden puppet thread further, but after all, she had just entered the threshold of the puppet spirit technique, and her puppet thread was completely out of control at this time.
She felt her legs and feet begin to become numb, as if she had walked non-stop for thousands of miles. Then an indescribable soreness gradually appeared in her muscles and bones. The soreness reached the extreme, and then returned to a deeper numbness. In the end, she almost felt
He can no longer reach his legs.
She didn't even realize when she knelt down by the bed.
Followed closely by her waist, her waist had almost no support. If Bai Zeqing hadn't already released a hand to hold the edge of the bed, she might have collapsed to the ground.
Then her back began to hurt like needles, her heart was beating wildly, and her back seemed to be bent by something invisible.
Last is the head.
When people are extremely uncomfortable, they will have confusion and hallucinations. She seemed to see Master Li slowly walking towards her.
Bai Zeqing was a little dazzled. The feeling was very indescribable. She seemed to be exhausted from head to toe, but it didn't seem that uncomfortable. She looked at the approaching figure in front of her and called out: "Master... Master!"
She knew clearly in her heart: "Illusion, hallucination, Master is gone."
Bai Zeqing was born not to know what "step by step" means. The book clearly stated that one needs to practice to the point where the five fingers can freely control the golden puppet thread that can transform the substance, in order to establish contact with the puppet spirit. She dared to connect to the puppet spirit with just a dotted line on her little finger.
.
Bai Zeqing didn't even know what "enough is enough" meant. When he was a child, he had to compete with Brother Qi in archery, and he wouldn't give up even if his hands were broken after practicing.
At this time, if Bai Zeqing could desperately withdraw or cut off her weak golden thread, she might be able to save her life. But the harder it is for her, the more radical and tough she is in her bones.
.
Bai Zeqing felt that he was exhausted, but then he gritted his teeth and pushed the illusory light golden thread forward a little further on the edge of the end of the mountain.
Just when she was in a trance, having the illusion that she and the puppet spirit had finally established contact, a big hand squeezed her wrist without any explanation.
The golden thread and golden light disappeared at this moment, as if everything just now was an illusion. Bai Zeqing's whole body softened, his vision went dark, he fell to the bottom of the bed, and then fell into a hug.
