The pear tree on the wall is snowy and delicate

Chapter 64: The Puppet Wooden Man Returns
Such and such, such and such.

Maidong and Lingxiang talked about Xinyi's reaction that day, and they were full of doubts.

"Do you think he is interested in me or not?"

Lingxiang glanced at Maidong. This little girl was so lustful that she probably didn't even want to think about anything.

"Have you ever asked him why?"

Mai Dong blushed upon hearing this, and said shyly, "Oh, who knew he would be so impulsive? I was being held by the hand at the time, and I was so nervous that I didn't think too much."

Lingxiang looked disgusted when she heard this, and thought to herself: This damn girl must have been abandoned at Qiuyun Peak because she let her feelings slip when she came down the mountain.

Then Lingxiang recalled the scene at Yinyu Mountain, and her face became solemn.

"Please do me a favor..."

"No way!" Before Lingxiang could finish her words, Maidong rejected her offer outright. Thinking of the last time when she failed in the sword manual project and was punished by her master to copy the scriptures, she was still frightened - copying the scriptures was really too torturous.

"I just asked you to ask Brother Zhaoming for a puppet. It's not a crime. Is it necessary to disregard the sisterhood?" Lingxiang said, sitting up.

"Last time, it was because of our sisterly love that I was grounded and made to copy text as punishment. I will never help you this time. Let's save our sisterly love for when we are together in happiness." Maidong said as he hurriedly got up from the stool and sat at the table, as if he would be forced to do something by Lingxiang later.

"You talk as if I didn't give you any benefits last time. The 'Water-Breaking Art' was given out in your name. Could it be that you have forgotten it now? People often say that men forget their principles when they see beauty. I think you are even worse than that." Lingxiang ridiculed Maidong and glared at her: What an ungrateful little bastard.

"If that's the case, then what benefit can you give me this time?"

"Hey, I was thinking that if you could do me this favor, I would try to find out what Xinyi is saying for you, but since you said so, I'd better wait until my legs and feet are more comfortable and go ask for it myself." Lingxiang said, and lay back leisurely.

When Maidong heard her say this, he rushed onto the stool, waving his hands at Lingxiang with shining eyes.

"Is this true?"

"Absolutely no lies!"

"A word is settled!"

"Go back quickly!"

In this way, Maidong left Xianyunju like the wind and went to Diancang Palace.

……

Zhao Ming Zhenren was originally regulating his breathing, and when he heard the little boy come to report the time, he almost fell off the pedestal. He finally had a few days of peace, and didn't have to worry about the devil for the time being, but he forgot that there was still a little devil.

Although Mai Dong was a junior and was respectful to him, he still remembered the drug experiment a few years ago. Besides, she was rarely seen in Dian Cang Palace on weekdays, but if she came, she must be up to something bad.

Maybe it was Lingxiang who ordered her around again! This girl, she won't let anyone live in peace even when she's hurt!
"Have you ever asked her why she came here?" Master Zhaoming calmed himself down and said: Forget it, if the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers and if the water comes, we will block it with earth!

"Senior Sister Maidong said that she came here to ask for something on the orders of the Lord of Qingwei Peak." The boy answered, but laughed secretly in his heart: I'm afraid that the Master will be fooled again this time.

As expected! There must be no good news when these two girls are together.

Thinking of this, Master Zhaoming stood up and went to the main hall, and before he left, he told the little boy to take good care of his treasure. He had to meet him, otherwise, when the incense was ready, who knows how he would torture him!
When Maidong saw Master Zhaoming coming out from behind the hall, he bowed respectfully and then explained the purpose of his visit.

After hearing this, Master Zhaoming was a little surprised. This girl Lingxiang just wanted a puppet?
It's not that he was unwilling to give it, but he always felt that Lingxiang was doing something bad again, and he was always worried and suspicious.

"She just wants you to ask for some magic?" asked Master Zhaoming suspiciously.

"That's right. Ninth Master said that she wanted a puppet made of locust wood." Maidong replied.

Humph! She is really good at choosing. The locust wood puppet technique is the most durable. Why does she want to do evil without leaving her house?

However, although Master Zhaoming thought so, he still agreed: Send Ophiopogon japonicus away as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary complications.

But Maidong didn't move.

"Ninth Master said that we should take it over today. I'd like to trouble Fifth Master to perform the ritual quickly so that I can go back and report."

What? Today? This spiritual incense lying outside the Three Mountains won't let him rest in peace! ?
……

It was sunset when Maidong brought the puppet to Lingxiang. Lingxiang looked at the locust wood doll in her hand and praised Master Zhaoming's skill in her heart: in such a short time, he was able to carve the doll so vividly. It seemed that even after he went down the mountain in the future, he could do some small business to fool children.

If Master Zhaoming knew Lingxiang was thinking this way, he would probably be furious.

Lingxiang pulled a strand of hair and tied it to the locust wood doll, put it aside, pricked her finger and dripped a drop of blood on it, then made hand gestures and recited a spell.

The little man suddenly appeared with a red light, and then he absorbed all the blood. In a short while, he grew to the size of a human.

With Lingxiang's shout of "Hurry up and obey the order", the little man instantly turned into Lingxiang's appearance and sat on the spring stool, while Lingxiang, on the other hand, lay motionless on the bed as if she was asleep.

The locust wood puppet that transformed into the appearance of Lingxiang stood up and moved its limbs, with a look of satisfaction on its face.

"Your fifth uncle's shapeshifting skills are becoming more and more sophisticated. This puppet is just like yourself and fits perfectly." The locust wood puppet that transformed into the appearance of Lingxiang said to Maidong with a smile.

It turns out that this is a low-level soul-substitution technique of puppetry, which transfers one's own consciousness to a wooden figure, making the wooden figure act in one's own image.

In other words, this little locust tree figure is now Lingxiang.

However, although this technique has the original body's consciousness, it does not have the original body's spiritual power. It can neither be used for fighting nor for casting spells. It is just like an ordinary person.

After performing this technique, the main body will be completely defenseless. If it is not absolutely safe, no one will use this technique. And the puppet cannot be too far away from the main body. If it is out of range, it will instantly turn back into a wooden man.

Then doesn't this technique have any effect at all?

Not entirely. Firstly, this is only a low-level puppet technique, and Lingxiang's cultivation is not high, so she cannot use high-level techniques. Secondly, most people who use this technique are people with limited mobility like Lingxiang. This is a stopgap measure, just to do some immediate things.

"There are three hills from here to the Bamboo Garden. Don't let the spell break while you're walking." Maidong rolled his eyes at Lingxiang and said sarcastically.

"What are you afraid of? With your Fifth Uncle's cultivation, the puppet he made is enough to travel around the entire Jiuque Mountain. Besides, my Qingwei Peak is the peak in the middle of Jiuque Mountain."

Lingxiang said this and looked around again: This is really a cheap deal.
