Chapter 51: Flaws
Since the seventh life, Bai Mingqiu has rarely had a time when his mood is unbalanced, his heart has experienced many experiences, and he has long been indomitable.
However, as long as he is a human being, he will not be perfect, no matter how strong Bai Mingqiu is, sometimes he will fall into confusion and pain.
What shook his mood the most was the appearance of Yakumo Zi, that peerless woman completely crushed him from the dimension, the two were not on the same order of magnitude at all, Bai Mingqiu was penetrated by her no matter what she did, and she had no power to resist.
That time, Bai Mingqiu's heart was disturbed, and it was very chaotic, almost to the point of endangerment.
Later, Bai Mingqiu found out about this, and asked his sister Honghuiyin to help, clarify his heart, and go to the next level, so that he got through the crisis of mood collapse.
Then there is the departure of Xiyue and Fengyue, Bai Mingqiu once again deeply felt his powerlessness, and he had no chance to redeem the things that had been decided these days.
Tonight he finally couldn't suppress his irritability. Accumulated little by little, Bai Mingqiu couldn't say it to anyone, he would die in more than three years, once he said it, how sad should the people who care about him be? Especially since this is still a matter that there is no way to solve, or even have no clue, even Bai Mingqiu himself doesn't know what to do.
The long-pent-up anguish in Bai Mingqiu's heart caused by the agreement with the demon dream was finally vented a little bit through the most ferocious moves in his sixth life Dacheng's sword technique.
After venting for a long time, looking at the messy trees in front of him, he hurriedly cleaned up, calmed down, and returned to Alice's mansion.
Bai Mingqiu saw the flickering lights in the foreign pavilion from a distance, found the location of the room he was in, and was about to fly in, but suddenly heard the sound of rustling.
At first glance, it sounded a bit like someone whispering, but it was really a little scary in the forest at night, Bai Mingqiu listened carefully, and only then could he tell what was the sound of something being dragged and rubbing against the ground, because the environment of the Enchanted Forest was humid, and the ground was covered with moss, which made the friction sound smaller, and there was a feeling of whispering.
The sound was very small, not loud even in the silent forest, but in Bai Mingqiu's ears, the voice was clearly discernible and he followed the direction of the sound, trying to find out what was going on.
The source of the sound is behind the Western-style building. Alice's mansion is simple in style, but you can still see the Gothic architectural style, sharp, cold, and good during the day, and at night, against the background of the dark environment of the Enchanted Forest, it looks particularly terrifying.
Bai Mingqiu didn't mind this, he walked straight to the back of the foreign pavilion, feeling that the place where the sound came out was here.
There was a figure moving in front of him, Bai Mingqiu didn't want to be discovered, he held his breath and floated with his feet off the ground, letting go of his five senses to observe what the person was doing.
After looking closely, it became clear that it was not actually a person, but a life-size puppet with several magic threads implicated in it, and it was manipulating the puppet's movements.
At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, what was Alice doing outside the mansion with the puppet?
Bai Mingqiu noticed that the puppet was dragging a gray-yellow bag in his hand, and the soil near the bag was slightly dented, which should not be light, it turned out that this was how the sound came out.
Alice is manipulating the doll to throw away the bag?
Bai Mingqiu didn't understand Alice's thoughts, and saw the puppet turn around and enter a small door behind the mansion, Bai Mingqiu walked to the small door and observed the puppet's movements through the crack in the door.
In the room where the small door is located, in the center is a huge stove, and many pipes are connected to the stove, leading to all sides of the room, which is supposed to be the heating system of Alice House. Looking at the layout and structure of the foreign pavilion, the heating system in this place is also normal, when Bai Mingqiu entered the foreign pavilion, he felt that it was different from the spring cold outside, and the house was very warm and comfortable, thinking that it was the effect of this stove.
Bai Mingqiu had probably guessed what this puppet was doing, and nine times out of ten, Alice manipulated it to chop wood for burning.
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Mingqiu lost interest and was about to go back to the room to rest, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly glanced at the corner of the cloth bag.
Strangely, the cloth bag is not filled with a stake, and it is impossible to pierce this sturdy bag with a well-shaped stake cut down, so what is the sharp thing that pierces the bag? And if it is firewood used to burn the fire, it is generally just put together and bundled into a pile and carried back, so why use such a large sack?
Bai Mingqiu was a little puzzled, he decided to wait a little longer and see if something was wrong.
The bag brought by the big Tianchai puppet was the latest one, and before it was the turn of the chai, the puppet finished pouring the firewood from the previous cloth bag, and walked to the corner of the room, and then Bai Mingqiu saw the magic thread stuck to the puppet snaking down from the puppet's body, and then disappeared into the air.
Bai Mingqiu waited outside the door for another five minutes, making sure that Alice had removed control of the puppet, before quietly entering the room.
He walked to the bag, the knot at the mouth of the bag was a little tight, and it took a little effort to open it, Bai Mingqiu frowned.
This whole bag of things is all two or three small dolls.
Unlike the dolls in the Western-style pavilion, these dolls have all removed their gorgeous and delicate costumes, and they are bare and nothing, which makes them look a little weird.
Why are these dolls all abandoned, and they look no different from those in the Western Pavilion?
The owner of these dolls is Alice, what she wants to do with these dolls is her freedom, Bai Mingqiu has no right to interfere, but he is a little strange, good dolls, you can also put them at home as handicrafts if you don't use them, what a pity it is to burn it.
He picked up a puppet and looked at it, then picked up another puppet and looked at it, but found nothing, and when he saw the third and fourth ones, he found some problems, and soon, he turned all the dolls out of the bag and looked at them, and finally found out what the problem was.
There is no difference between the twenty-two dolls in a bag, but all the dolls here are unfinished, none of them are completely carved, some have less "eyepieces", some have less "thrushes", some have less "cinnabar", and the defects are varied.
"Dot" is to point out the carved "god" that is, the eye, "thrush" is to say the "god" of the eye - "eyebrow" to draw out, "cinnabar" is the balance point of carving, excellent puppet carving can be based on a grain of "cinnabar", that is, a balance point, divided into two parts that are very symmetrical and harmonious.
These are some small doorways in wood carving, as long as it is a small carving art, there will be such a doorway, the difference is only the name is different, "cinnabar" is the saying of Bai Mingqiu's family carving art. But in any case, the common principle is that these wood carvings are all close to forming but are only discarded because of a slight flaw, or even used as firewood.
Bai Mingqiu's brows tightened.
He carefully put all the dolls back into the bag, carried the bag over his shoulder, closed the door, and flew into the room where he was. Alice didn't visit, so everything in the room was as it was, and there was no sign of anyone having been there.
Closing the window, he opened the bag and placed the dolls on the table one by one, as if they were delicate works of art.
Taking a deep breath, he drew a three-inch swimming fish knife in his sleeve, picked up the first puppet, and Bai Mingqiu began to carve it little by little.
The lights in the house were on until dawn.
