Midnight Forced Marriage

Chapter 125 Deadly Puppet

They are a group of puppet dolls, I have seen this kind of dolls in the book, they should be called puppets.

Yes, the puppet doll, and Ming Baixi.In the past, it was a cypress doll that was used in people's homes to bear disasters and get rid of injuries, and was also used in graves as burials.And Bai Xi is a must-have man in the world of magicians, to bear the backlash for his master.

I understand, the master wants me to choose a good-looking puppet to be my Bai Xi.

It's kind of cruel, no, not a little bit, very cruel.It is equivalent to finding a humanoid representative magician to endure all kinds of backlash. In the early stage of practice, there is no ability to control one's own spells like a fish in water with ease.However, this is a profound and dangerous knowledge, and if it is not controlled properly, it will suffer backlash.Moreover, this backlash is not just fatal, it is likely to hurt the soul and suffer forever.At this time, every magician needs a Baixi to bear the backlash for him.

In fact, ordinary folk families will make a cypress doll for the child and bury it outside the bedroom. He will bear all the illnesses and disasters for the little master.Then the children will grow up smoothly, with fewer diseases and disasters, or even no diseases and disasters.

As for Bai Xi from the Magician's House, at least I think it is more or less alive, not only because it is made lifelike, but because it has been exposed to too many spells, and it is kept in a place full of witchcraft. The cathode and yang are contaminated with the aura needed for various essential techniques, and it will also absorb the essence of it to form a certain aura.This aura accumulates over time, and many puppets are not used immediately after they are made. Over time, many of Bai Xi who have been idle in extremely dark rooms have grown into souls, or things with soul-like qualities.

Or, to put it simply, they are created beings.

It's not that I haven't heard of such a thing, but I didn't expect that I would need a Bai Xi so soon.Let a puppet with a soul, or a breath of life, bear the backlash of the spell for me.He or she, innocent, might not have wanted to be created if given the chance to choose.

I am no longer afraid, pacing up and down in this room.This is an orthodox main house, and the furnishings inside are no different from those lived by living people.In each position, on the chair, on the bench, on the bed, beside the bed, at the door, etc., there are corresponding dolls, with lifelike appearance and movements, all wearing clothes, and even depicting certain age characteristics.Sitting in the right seats was a middle-aged couple, with maids and servants standing next to each other, a fire maid by the stove, a young lady lying on the bed, an old mother and a young maid standing beside the bed, and a young couple with a look. Little children playing.There was even a welcoming maid standing at the door, and when I turned around, I was startled.

Is this an option for me?

It's really brutal and I don't know which one to choose.It seems that choosing randomly is breaking up the harmony in this picture.I want to break my head, and I don't know how to choose.I walked back and forth in this room, lingering in front of every puppet, but their eyes were too innocent.Finally, I came to the bed, the curtains were parted, and I looked in.

Lying on the bed was a little girl, probably in her teens or less than twenty years old.She is very beautiful, and her face does not appear to be sick, but she is lying on the bed, in a dark place.It seemed that he was very eager to get out of this bed, but he was helpless.

why?

I looked down and found something strange.The quilt covering her body covered her body, and only her head was exposed.And there is an incredible collapse under the body, as if the limbs are incomplete.I looked back at the maids and old ladies who were waiting around me, everyone was expressionless.I ignored it and gently lifted the quilt.

"Ah!" I was startled and exclaimed.At the same time, I realized that my throat was dry, my voice was hoarse, and I was still too nervous.

I saw a scene of surprise. The body under the quilt was wearing a bellyband, with his hands folded under his chest, lying very peacefully.But underneath, where there should be legs, is empty.

Is this the disabled puppet Bai Xi?
"God, who carved it?" I couldn't help complaining, maybe there was no wood to carve such a puppet, and all the effort was spent on the face.It is undeniable that this is a very beautiful baby girl, Bai Xi.

I stared fixedly at her face, as if I had been fascinated, her eyes should have life and soul.I could see that she was desperate to get out, to get out of bed, to move around.However, this is no longer possible... No, it can!I can get her out, or at least keep her from lying here.

Yes, I chose her.

For her, perhaps at the price of being Bai Xi and suffering backlash, she is willing to go out into the sun, and not willing to be chained to the bed for the rest of her life, right?
"Do you want to?"

I asked gently, of course, she could not answer me.I waited for a while, sighed, and lost my mind for a moment, as if I got the answer.Maybe it's from my heart?I finally opened the bed curtain and gently hugged her.

Much heavier than I imagined, is cypress so heavy?

I stuck one hand under her armpit, and gently dragged her "remnant leg" with the other.There are only two short legs, which are also very realistically depicted.

Going out the door, the noon sun has disappeared, replaced by a haze covered by dark clouds and it is about to rain.

"master."

"You girl..." The master was stunned for a moment when he saw the puppet I was holding.But in a short while, he quickly passed me, walked to the door of the house behind me, slammed the two doors tightly, and locked the three locks.

All I heard was the grinding of rust and the crisp snap of a new lock.Afterwards, my master Chen Banxia took out a pre-drawn talisman from his sleeve and pasted it on.

"master?"

"Okay, let's go." The master only said this, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard first.

I had no choice but to follow closely, still holding the disabled girl Baixi in my arms.Following all the way back to the study just now, I stopped for a while, changing the weight in my hand, the cypress wood is really heavy!

After entering the study, I carefully put the puppet girl on my seat.Her stumped leg was very short, and she couldn't sit down, so she poked it there abruptly, as if she was "standing" with her broken leg.I looked at it and thought it was not good, so I took two more cushions and put them under it to let her "stand" a little more comfortably.

"I really didn't expect you to choose her." The master looked at my actions and said with emotion.

"Master, what's her name?"

"Xiaoyu."

"Xiao Yu..." I muttered the name, a very cute name, "Master, why is she like this?"

The master nodded. Naturally, he expected that I would ask such a question. He walked to the desk and looked at Xiaoyu through the desk, "You should have imagined that she was actually complete, right?"

"Ah!" I slapped my forehead, "I thought the puppeteer made her, and there was no wood left."

The master looked back at me when he heard the words, he was speechless, and even a black line appeared on his head.He was helpless, sighed, and continued, "I'll find a carpenter this afternoon and build her a wooden wheelchair."

"Okay."

"Want to hear her story?"
