The skin tracing took much longer than Han Dongwen thought.
Almost a night passed, and the sky was already white. Han Dongwen stood in the pool of water and actually persisted all night.
The original skeleton in front of him has now been covered with a layer of skin that is almost fake. The facial features are somewhat similar to Han Dongwen's. They are quite attractive, but they are only similar in spirit.
In the eyes of others, they would never think of having anything to do 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 entire "human" suddenly became healthier.
As expected, the few materials he lacked in advance were not enough to make a complete piece of skin.
Under Jiang Keyin's helpless guidance, Han Dongwen painted the skin of the figure in front of him with his heart, leaving a gap in the skin in the center of the back.
If you look at this figure from behind, you will see a dark and shiny golden iron spine exposed between the two shoulder blades, which is really scary.
"Just put some clothes on and that's it."
Han Dongwen comforted himself.
After a long time, the sun was about to come out. The servants in the palace should have had breakfast and started working.
The puppet in front of Han Dongwen was finally completed.
"Quite handsome."
He let out a breath, contentedly let go of the palm that had been holding the puppet, and while shaking his aching arms tiredly, he enthusiastically circled the puppet in front of him twice.
This man's body shape is similar to Han Dongwen's, but his figure looks much more capable and sturdier than his. He has short hair and a sporty and healthy complexion.
...could it be that Tai Zhao was a little deceived?
Han Dongwen put aside this idea for the time being, and after appreciating his masterpiece, he turned and looked at Jiang Keyin excitedly: "This painting is finished, is there only the last step left?"
Jiang Keyin nodded, and inadvertently showed a slightly tired look on his face: "There is only one step left to enter the marrow. Does Your Highness still remember what he saw and felt when he tried on my concubine's human puppet the night before?"
Han Dongwen naturally remembered it.
When he used the swallow pendant to "control" Jiang Keyin's puppet the night before, his vision was blurred and his movements were very stiff.
"If the material used to enter the marrow is poor and has poor compatibility, not only will the controllable distance be extremely short, but it will also be extremely inconvenient to use."
Jiang Keyin turned her head and looked at the palace maid: "Puppets like these two can't get out of the palace wall, so they can only act as maids with insufficient intelligence."
She didn't seem to want to talk too much about herself, and just shook her head with regret: "Okay, Your Highness, what material are you preparing to insert into the marrow? Is it me who will take a section of the inner bone for you, or is it some other genius?" Earth treasure?"
Han Dongwen shook his head, his expression suddenly turned serious.
"Next, all you need to do is tell me how to get to the bottom of it."
He weighed it up and decided that it would be best to avoid letting Jiang Keyin know about the material he had absorbed into his marrow.
After all, Jiang Keyin was able to help him only because of coercion. Han Dongwen must keep some trump cards and not let her master them all.
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 basic common sense.
No, Li Zai couldn't do it, but Zhong Lilin was at least approved by Wen Yongxing.
Jiang Keyin was obviously stunned, his expression changed subtly, and he nodded slightly: "If His Highness cannot trust me, then please wait a moment, and Ke'er will write down the secrets right now."
The words were thorny, so Han Dongwen could only pretend that he didn't hear them and nodded in acquiescence.
Jiang Keyin returned to the desk. One of the two palace maids was grinding and laying paper for her, while the other went back to the servant's room and pulled out a coffin-like wooden box. It seemed that the size was just right for the person to lie in.
Jiang Keyin was very considerate, and Han Dongwen almost thought that she was really doing it for him.
But this is a matter of concern for one's own safety after all.
Han Dongwen watched silently as the palace maid sealed his puppet into the box and closed the lid of the coffin. At this time, Jiang Keyin had also finished writing the magic formula and gently handed it to Han Dongwen.
"Your Highness, please remember that the step of entering the marrow does not require anything else. All you need is the person to be entered and the materials you prepared. Your Highness, please sit across from the person, make the lotus seal with your hand, and perform this technique."
She paused and glanced at the puppets that had been packed into boxes: "Since there is no place where I can help, my two personal maids will take His Highness's belongings back to the bedroom."
"When the human puppet is completed, according to His Highness's current ability, I am afraid that I can only support the activities of the human puppet in the palace. Please be careful, Your Highness."
Having said that, the two palace maids had already walked to the wooden box, lifted it up like a coffin, and prepared to set off one after the other.
Han Dongwen still wanted to say something, but Jiang Keyin had already turned around and walked towards her bed, looking a little angry.
Han Dongwen scratched his head, said nothing more, 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 is dazzling.
Although he and Jiang Keyin broke up on bad terms, at least Han Dongwen now had someone else by his side.
At least now, he has one more thing that he can use for himself.
——————
After gulping down some breakfast or lunch, Han Dongwen, who was already weak, regained some energy.
He had already ordered that he had overworked in Tianchi Palace last night and was just about to catch up on his sleep. Unless Simeng was about to perish, no one was allowed to enter the palace to disturb him. Anyone who resisted the order would be executed.
And it was common for him, Han Dongwen, to overwork himself.
The palace door has been closed, and the puppet has been carried out of the big box.
Han Dongwen and his puppet sat quietly behind the screen in the bedroom, facing each other in silence.
"call……"
He breathed a sigh of relief, took out Jiang Keyin's paper from his pocket, and murmured the magic formula on it.
Strangely, as Han Dongwen tried to memorize the spells on the paper again and again, he felt a sense of etherealness in his mind, and his thoughts seemed to become much clearer.
"Strange, I seem to..."
Han Dongwen stared blankly at the piece of paper with the magic formula written on it in his hand, slowly folded it in half, closed his eyes and recalled it in his mind.
Yes, he confirmed.
"I totally understand."
The essence of the method was like a brand, appearing in his mind extremely clearly.
The essence of this technique should be compared to the "skills" in the game.
Can he actually master the skills accurately?
Just like physical chemistry in life requires understanding, memorization, practice, and problem solving, unlike in games where you can master it by clicking on the skill book, Han Dongwen believes that the art of human puppetry is also related "knowledge."
But it’s not knowledge, but skills?
So what am I now?
Han Dongwen subconsciously touched his scarred earlobe. He should have made sure that he was not playing a game, but why could he master this knowledge so quickly like a skill?
I couldn't figure this out for a while.
Han Dongwen turned his mind back to the human puppet. The Xuanji plate was already in his arms. He was meditating face to face with the human puppet as if looking in a mirror. The rusty Yunpo ancient sword was already lying across his lap.
He reached out and grabbed the palm of the puppet, lifted the corresponding fingers with his fingers, formed a lotus seal on the left and right, gently closed his eyes, and silently activated the magic formula.
In the hall, with Han Dongwen and Ren Puppet at the center, a gentle breeze blew up.
As if instinctively, Han Dongwen felt a wave of warmth surge up in his palms, spread to his forearms, and eventually spread all over his body.
If he opens his eyes at this moment, he will find that the Yunpo Sword that was originally lying on his knees has been slowly raised, surrounded by a warm but not dazzling white light, rising vertically between Han Dongwen and the puppet.
The Yunbo Sword can really be used as a human puppet to penetrate the marrow?
The familiar feeling of weakness began to emerge. Han Dongwen felt that the warmth was gradually trying to leave his body. He subconsciously wanted to retain the warmth, so the familiar feeling of weakness and fatigue began to gradually appear in his body.
However, the Yunpo sword between Han Dongwen and the puppet suddenly shone with white light, and it seemed to be gradually attracted to the puppet by gravity.
The Yunpo Sword hung above the puppet, and suddenly the entire sword suddenly lit up, like a lightsaber piercing straight into the puppet's body.
Shrouded in white light, the human figure could no longer be seen clearly, only a ball of light that fluctuated intermittently.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Dongwen closed his eyes and felt that there was no longer a red light in front of his eyelids, and the remaining energy in his body was no longer flowing away.
According to Jiang Keyin, it has already entered the marrow.
Han Dongwen's eyelids moved, he took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
ah?
There was nothing in front of him except Jiang Keyin's paper lying on the ground.
The human puppet and Yunbo sword are missing?
