bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 47
The time-consuming of skin tracing was much longer than Han Dongwen thought.

Almost one night passed, and it was already daylight. Han Dongwen stood in that pool of water and persisted for a whole night.

The original skeleton in front of him was now covered with a layer of skin that could almost be mistaken for the real one. His facial features were somewhat similar to Han Dongwen's.

From the perspective of others, they would definitely not think of any intersection with Han Dongwen.

Too white, a bit girly...

As soon as his thoughts moved, the skin on the human puppet seemed to come alive and breathe, and the color of the whole "human" suddenly became healthier.

And the little material he lacked in advance was really not enough to make a complete piece of skin.

Under Jiang Keyin's helpless guidance, Han Dongwen painted the skin of the puppet in front of him with his mind, leaving the gap in the skin on the back center.

If you look at this puppet from behind, there is a shiny black golden iron spine exposed between the two shoulder blades, which is really scary.

"Just put on your clothes."

Han Dongwen comforted himself.

After a long time, the sun will come out soon, and the servants in the palace should have had their breakfast and start their shifts.

The puppet in front of Han Dongwen was finally done.

"It's pretty handsome."

He let out a sigh of relief, let go of the palm that had been holding the puppet in satisfaction, shook his sore arm wearily, and walked around the puppet in front of him twice with great interest.

This puppet's body shape is similar to Han Dongwen's, but his figure looks much stronger and stronger than his. He has short hair and a sporty and healthy complexion.

...Would it be a little deceiving?
Han Dongwen put this thought aside for now, and after appreciating his masterpiece, he turned and looked at Jiang Keyin excitedly: "The skin tracing is over, and there is only the last step left?"

Jiang Keyin nodded, and inadvertently showed a slightly tired face: "There is only one step left to enter the marrow, Your Highness, do you still remember what you saw and felt when you tried the concubine's puppet the night before?"

Han Dongwen naturally remembered.

When he used the swallow necklace to "control" Jiang Keyin's puppet the night before, his vision was blurred and his movements were very stiff.

"If the material used to insert the marrow is poor, the phase compatibility is not good, not only will the controllable distance be extremely short, but it will also be very inconvenient to use."

Jiang Keyin turned her head to look at the palace maid: "Like these two puppets, they basically can't get out of this palace wall, they can only act as maids with unqualified minds."

She didn't seem to want to talk too much about herself, so she just shook her head with some regret: "Okay, Your Highness, what is the material you are going to insert into the marrow? Is it me to take a piece of inner bone for you, or is it some other genius?" Dibao?"

Han Dongwen shook his head, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Next, you just need to tell me how to get into the marrow."

He weighed it, it's better to avoid letting Jiang Keyin know that he has used the marrow material.

After all, Jiang Keyin was able to help her now because of coercion. Han Dongwen must keep some trump cards, and she can't let her grasp all of them.

If Jiang Keyin shirks Han Dongwen and claims that he can't do it alone, then he can turn around and ask Zhong Lilin or even Li Zai to confront him. Even if they don't know it themselves, there is always a way to ask such elementary common sense.

No, Li Jae can't, but Zhong Lilin is at least approved by Wen Yongxing.

Jiang Keyin was obviously stunned, her expression changed subtly, and she nodded lightly: "If Your Highness doesn't trust your concubine, please wait a moment, but I will write down the formula right now."

There were thorns in the words, Han Dongwen could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and nodded in acquiescence.

Jiang Keyin returned to the desk, and one of the two court ladies ground and laid the paper for her, while the other went back to the servant's room, and pulled out a wooden box like a coffin, which seemed to be the right size for the puppet to lie in.

Jiang Keyin was very thoughtful, and Han Dongwen almost thought that she was really doing it for him.

But this is, after all, a matter of concern for one's own safety.

Han Dongwen watched silently as the maid sealed her puppet into the box and covered the coffin. At this time, Jiang Keyin had also finished writing the formula, and handed it to Han Dongwen gently.

"Remember, Your Highness, there is no need for anything else in the step of entering the marrow. All you need is the puppet to be marrowed and the materials you have prepared. Please sit opposite the puppet, form the lotus seal with your hands, and use this formula."

She paused, and glanced at the puppet who had already packed it: "Since there is no place for the concubine to help, the two personal servants of the concubine will send your highness's belongings back to the bedroom."

"When the human puppet is completed, according to His Highness's current ability, I am afraid that he can only support the human puppet's activities in the palace. Please be careful, Your Highness."

After all, the two court ladies had already walked to the wooden box, lifted the wooden box like a coffin, and prepared to set off one after the other.

Han Dongwen wanted to say something, but Jiang Keyin turned around and walked towards her boudoir bed, looking a little angry.

Han Dongwen scratched his head, and stopped talking, walked out of the bath, put on his boots and socks, rearranged his clothes, raised his legs and walked out.

Outside Tianchi Palace, the sun was dazzling.

Although they broke up with Jiang Keyin, at least now there is another puppet by Han Dongwen's side.

At least now, he has one more thing that he can use for himself.

------

Han Dongwen, who was already weak, regained some of his energy after eating some food for breakfast or lunch.

He has ordered himself to work too hard in Tianchi Palace last night, and now he is about to catch up on sleep. Unless Simeng is about to perish, no one is allowed to enter the bedroom to disturb, and those who resist the order will be executed.

And it's common for him, Han Dongwen, to be overworked.

The door of the temple has been closed, and the puppet has been carried out of the big box.

Han Dongwen sat face to face with his puppet behind the screen in the dormitory, silent.

"call……"

He let out a sigh of relief, took out Jiang Keyin's note from his arms, and muttered the formula on it.

Strangely, as Han Dongwen tried to memorize the formulas on the paper again and again, he felt a sense of emptiness in his mind, and his thoughts seemed to become much clearer for a while.

"Strange, I seem to..."

Han Dongwen stared blankly at the paper with the formula in his hand, slowly folded it in half, closed his eyes and recalled it in his mind.

Yes, he confirmed.

"I have fully understood."

The essence of the formula unexpectedly appeared in his mind very clearly like an imprint.

The essence of this formula should be compared to the "skill" in the game.

Can you master the skills accurately?
It's as if physical chemistry in life requires understanding, memorization, practice, and problem solving. It's not like clicking a skill book in a game to master it. Han Dongwen thinks that the art of being a puppet is also related "knowledge".

But it's not knowledge, but skills?
So what am I now?
Han Dongwen subconsciously touched his earlobe where the wound was still scabbed. He should have made sure that he was not playing a game, but how could this knowledge be mastered so quickly like a skill?

For a while, I couldn't understand this question.

Han Dongwen put his mind back on the human puppet, and the Xuanji plate was already in his arms. He meditated face to face with the human puppet as if looking in a mirror, and the rusty ancient Yunpo sword was already lying horizontally on his lap.

He reached out and grabbed the puppet's palm, raised the corresponding fingers with his fingers, formed a lotus flower seal on the left and right sides, closed his eyes gently, and silently activated the magic formula.

In the hall, with Han Dongwen and the puppets as the center, there was a slight breeze.

As if instinctively, Han Dongwen felt a warm current surge from his palms, spread to his forearm, and finally spread all over his body.

If he opened his eyes at this time, he would find that the Yunpo sword lying on his lap was slowly erected, surrounded by a warm but not dazzling white light, floating vertically upwards between Han Dongwen and the human puppet.

Could the Yunpo sword really be used as a human puppet?

The familiar feeling of exhaustion began to emerge, Han Dongwen only felt that the warm current was gradually trying to leave his body, and he subconsciously wanted to keep this warmth, so the familiar feeling of weakness in his body began to gradually appear.

However, a white light suddenly shimmered on the Yunpo sword between Han Dongwen and the human puppet, and it seemed to be gradually attracted to the human puppet by gravity.

The Yunpo sword was hanging above the puppet, and suddenly the whole sword lighted up, piercing straight into the puppet's body like a lightsaber.

Shrouded in white light, the puppet could no longer see its figure clearly, only a mass of light that fluctuated from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Dongwen who closed his eyes felt that there was no longer a red light in front of his eyelids, and the remaining energy in his body was no longer lost.

According to Jiang Keyin, the marrow is complete.

Han Dongwen's eyelids moved, took a deep breath, and slowly opened his eyes.

what?
There was nothing in front of him, only Jiang Keyin's note lying on the ground.

The puppet and Yunpo sword disappeared?
