Chapter 5: Nothing Happens Beyond Life and Death (Part II)


Luo Songxi doesn't remember how many classmates he beat that day, nor how many punches he was punched by other classmates.The school used the only precious flying falcon to send a message to inform Old John to come to the school to deal with the aftermath.So far, they haven't figured out the relationship between Old John and Luo Songxi, or they haven't figured out that Old John and Luo Songxi actually have no relationship.Old John came from the town of Tarta in the evening, with his back hunched and carrying an old face.It may be that he was in a hurry, his face was flushed, and when he arrived at school, he took out two pills to lower blood pressure and swallowed them.He was greeted by the school's principal, waving his arms and asking menacingly, "How do you discipline children?"

When your parents are gone, you don't care?

is so vicious when he makes such a small shot, what kind of murderer will he become when he grows up?

”Behind the principal was the parents of the beaten students, who arrived earlier and were equally aggressive.Headed by a gentleman with a bowler hat, Banhua's father, who had a monopoly on the town's flour business.He looked arrogant and glared at a teacher with his eyes, the teacher was twisting Luo Songxi's hand behind him on the side, and when he saw the gentleman's eyes, he increased his hand a little harder, and Luo Songxi grinned in pain.Old John pulled Luo Songxi, who had a blue nose and swollen face, from the teacher's hand, and asked him softly, "What's the matter?"

”"This wild child......"

The headmaster was about to speak first, and the parents behind were also eager to sue, but they saw old John look at them and said in a deep voice, "I didn't ask you. ”It's also strange to say, the owner of the small alchemy shop who is inconspicuous, with one look and one sentence, actually silenced the raging crowd suddenly.Luo Songxi briefly told Old John about the matter."

Childish."

Old John made a brief comment, and then said to Luo Songxi, "Forget it, let's go." ”"Let's go?"

The principal finally couldn't help but shout, "So many children were beaten by him, don't you give the school an explanation?"

Don't give these parents an explanation?

”Old John sneered, snapped his fingers, and a fireball fell from the sky with a huge momentum, smashing accurately in front of the crowd, accompanied by a huge explosion sound, smashing a pit nearly one meter in diameter."

That's what I'm going to tell you."

Old John took Luo Songxi's hand and walked away.Behind the huge pit, everyone stood still like frightened penguins, and was silent again.According to statistics, less than one in a thousand people in the entire Federation can learn elemental magic.And those who can learn instantaneous magic like the one just now are only 0.2 per thousand.Although this is no longer a civilized country that fears violence, people still revere the identity and status behind the magician.Of course, they didn't even understand the relationship between Old John and Luo Songxi, and of course they didn't know that Old John's identity was actually just the owner of an alchemy shop in a dilapidated town.In front of the office window of the civil affairs department, John Sr. signed his name in the "Guardian Confirmation" column at the end of a stack of documents.He stuffed the file into the window and said to Luo Songxi, "Let's go, don't be in a daze, I know what you're thinking." ”"You must be thinking that what is more vicious than the horse bandits is the human heart."

Old John said, regardless of whether the eight-year-old Luo Songxi understands it or not, "But what I want to tell you is that there is nothing important other than death and life." ”"So it's such a thing, it's over after a fight, there's no need to take it to heart.Come back to Tarta with me, you don't have to go to school, I'll teach you the real thing. ”………… The carriage drove away from the only prosperous West Star City area in the entire West Star State, and set foot on a wasteland full of industrial ruins.Since then, Luo Songxi has become an apprentice of Old John's Alchemy Shop, and he has truly seen the extraordinaryness of Old John, and it is absolutely impossible to be as simple as a small shop owner.He began to learn all kinds of things from Old John, first mechanics, alchemy, and then a set of magical martial arts.After another two years, Luo Songxi's martial arts skills began to grow, and one night, Old John threw him a note, on which was painted a portrait of the West Wind bandit.The text states that the Faphyr bandit will travel alone to the town of Filipe the next day to sell the stolen goods, and will live in a temporary residence at 5 West Well Street in the town.Later, he listed various crimes of this West Wind bandit, including participating in the robbery and murder of Luo Songxi's family three years ago.Before Luo Songxi set off for Filip Town, Old John only explained two things besides the note he threw him.One is to throw him an elemental musket, "32 times compressed fireball gun, for your self-defense, try not to use it if you can, I made it myself with scrap copper and rotten iron, it is not very stable." ”The second is to tell him to wait for the West Wind bandits to finish selling the stolen goods before they do it, and bring the cash back directly, "The store has to raise one more of you, so there is a shortage of money."

But if you come back with the stolen goods, I won't have a way to sell them. ”After explaining, Luo Songxi set off overnight, rushed to a warehouse converted residence in Feili Town in advance, sneaked into the room and got under the bed, and hid against the bed board for a day and a night.He pressed softly against the bed like a drop of water.The horse bandits did not find him when they entered the house, nor did they find him when they slept.It wasn't until the West Wind Bandit fell asleep that Luo Songxi climbed out and stabbed the West Wind Bandit in the chest, just like the West Wind Bandit stabbed his parents back then, and after stabbing in, he still held the handle of the knife and turned around half a circle.But after all, he was young and weak, and the horse bandit did not die for a while, and struggled to escape to the door.He took out the elemental musket that Old John had given him, and the 32 times compressed fireball was as dazzling as a small sun, and there was not even a scum left of the Zephyr bandit who was hit.That year was the 117th year of the Federal Third Republican calendar, and Luo Songxi was only ten years old that year.The ten-year-old boy did not say a word, silently recited the names of his dead parents and sisters in his heart, and bowed with his hands to the heavens and the earth.Then he turned and jumped out of the window, disappearing into the silent darkness of the night.It's just that at the moment of jumping out of the window, his baby face finally stretched, and the corners of his mouth revealed two dimples that he had been missing for a long time.He smiled happily.A baby-faced teenager who grew up overnight.………… Since then, with accurate calculations and extraordinary stealth and escape methods, Luo Songxi has always been smooth sailing in the wasteland, and it only took him a year to kill all the four horse bandits who participated in the murder of his parents and sisters, and then the entire wasteland recited the name of "Reaper", so that the horse bandits almost did not dare to be left alone.In the town of Tarta, there is one less silent teenager, and one more elementary school apprentice who loves to laugh and shine.There is nothing important other than death and life, except for death and life, what else can't be over?

Now that it's over, why can't you get along with yourself?

And the major matter between life and death, what Old John taught Luo Songxi is to solve it with the simplest and most direct counterattack, and use the most stubborn tenacity to ensure that it will be solved.This also created the character of following Luo Songxi all his life - simple, open-minded, direct, and stubborn.Just like today, although he didn't know why he actually bumped into a holy realm great magician who could only look up in this abandoned mine, and then was blocked in a cave, between death and life, his dark eyes finally lit up with a stubborn light.What are you afraid of, today in the bad 100-day ranking, you can only be in the top ten, he curled up in the pit, thinking to himself.He felt a pain in his back.He reached out and touched it, and within his reach was a large pile of elemental crystals.With his knowledge of alchemy, he could easily tell that this was an extremely concentrated elemental crystal.………… The Grand Magician of the Sanctuary was named Charlast, and at this time he gently dusted off the neckline of his elegant gray double-breasted formal suit, brushed the hair that was actually not disturbed in the slightest by the hairstyle, straightened the large black-rimmed glasses on the hooked nose, and finally straightened out the slightly out-of-shape armstuds, and exhaled a long breath.As soon as he shot out in anger, a powerful lethal magic was scattered, which was also a big load for him.But even so, he did not allow any flaws in his gentlemanly appearance.It is said that in the days before elemental magic was widespread, there was a group of resilient warriors who called themselves "knights" with strict etiquette and an indomitable spirit.An admirer of ancient chivalry, Charast aspired to be a knight of the new age, believing that the perfect formal dress was the armor of the modern gentleman.There were still three men left by his side, all of whom were silent, silently waiting for him to tidy up his appearance and show good discipline.The Great Magician has the pride of the Great Magician, and the Order sent him to this remote place to preside over the operation, and he understands that this is a sign that the Order attaches great importance to the operation, but Zalaste still feels that he has been overused.This time, the first requirement for them to do was to be secretive, and they had just encountered a sudden intruder, and although they were completely wiped out in a moment, Zarash still had a sense of imperfection.At the very least, you have to be meticulous in your appearance.After about two or three minutes, Charlaster suddenly remembered something, he frowned slightly, and said to the three men, "Search the cave again to make sure there are no living holes......

I have the impression that the person who broke in first was very small, and there didn't seem to be this person among the intruders I killed later. ”The three subordinates nodded silently, turned on the elemental lamp, and carefully searched the past in three directions, starting from the center of the cave.There was silence in the cavern, except for the faint and heavy sound of breathing.The area that the Elemental Lamp could illuminate was not large, but the three men in the gray jacket searched extremely carefully.The three men in gray jackets were soon at the edge of the cave and began to follow the edge of the cave to find a place to hide.The pit where Luo Songxi is hiding is already close at hand.
