Apocalypse Magician

How can a shoddily built house withstand the violent impact of a wave? The houses, fields and plants have become ruins, with little traces of them exposed under the blanket of white snow.

Some of the people who survived the avalanche wailed miserably because of their physical pain, some hugged and cried with their relatives who also survived the disaster, and most of them had eyes that had not yet recovered from the sudden drastic change, blank and empty. , as if Li Xingkong saw the frozen bones on the roadside that no one cares about on a snowy night in winter when he was young, and felt sympathy for each other or deliberately avoided them, and his heart became pale.

"Please, save my child, who will save my child?" A middle-aged couple knelt down in front of the collapsed house, trying hard to lift the beams and bricks with both hands, but in the end they were unable to do so. The palms were dripping with blood, but they couldn't move an inch.

Under the ruins of the house, there were bursts of crying. Through the cracks in the bricks and tiles, a little girl who looked only four or five years old could be seen, being held under the collapsed eaves. Her eyes were full of fear and helplessness. While crying, he wiped his tears with his dirty little hands.

However, even though the little girl's parents desperately begged for help, they could only attract some sympathetic looks.

The village after the avalanche is full of miserable scenes. Unknown how many people were buried in the ruins. Every family has casualties, either swept to unknown places by the heavy snow, or crushed under the collapsed houses. Or get seriously injured while escaping. It’s not that people don’t want to lend a helping hand, it’s just that they are really helpless.

"Xingkong, let's go help them." Looking at the people struggling in the ruins, Luo Yingxue couldn't bear it. She just wanted to help everyone, but she didn't consider at all that she was actually surrounded by dark forces. People who are struggling need more help from others.

"Yes." Li Xingkong smiled and nodded. No matter when, where, or in any situation, he could feel Luo Yingxue's kind heart.

The two people who had made up their mind quickly walked into the village. Luo Yingxue came to the collapsed house and gently stretched out her arms to caress the snow-covered bricks.

Black flames lingered around the fingertips, and everything they touched melted away, the ice and snow steamed away, and the earth and rocks turned into ashes. In an instant, the unshakable eaves disappeared, leaving only the little girl who was originally buckled by the eaves, with fear in her eyes. , erupting with the surprise of seeing the sky again, and the middle-aged couple crying with joy and holding the little girl in their arms.

"Thank you, thank you benefactor!" The middle-aged couple hugged the little girl tightly and knelt down in front of Luo Yingxue.

"It's just a little effort, you two must not do this." Luo Yingxue wanted to reach out to help the middle-aged couple up, but suddenly realized that everything she touched would be burned by black fire, so she quickly retracted her hand, but still He couldn't hide the joy of being able to save someone's life, and the smile from the heart bloomed on his beautiful face.

Looking at the flower-like smile of his beloved, Li Xingkong's heart moved. This was the first time Luo Yingxue showed such a beautiful and pure smile since the dark force was entangled.

Although less than two days had passed, Li Xingkong seemed to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes. Until this moment, he saw the smile he had been waiting for, as if a ray of sunshine penetrated the thick clouds and spanned the wind and snow. Looking at this ordinary mountain village, all the efforts made before are worth it.

The same power, used in different places, has completely opposite effects. It is as if there is no absolute darkness in the world, only the unpredictable human heart.

The black flames that burn everything are so effective in saving people trapped under the rubble. You only need to reach out and touch the collapsed houses to make them burn out, and then you can see the desperate people suddenly see the light of day again. Surprised face.

Such a straightforward method cannot be matched even by the power of the great water magician that he once possessed.

Since Luo Yingxue is temporarily unable to use water magic, the task of treating everyone's injuries falls on Li Xingkong. Even though Li Xingkong's power has only returned to the level of a senior magician, under the water and light magic, ordinary people can still Got a lot of help.

After the disaster, people on the verge of collapse saw Luo Yingxue, who was working hard to save lives, and Li Xingkong, who was working hard to save lives and injuries. Finally, there was some light in their empty eyes, as if they believed that these two people were gods sent by God to save the people. The world is in water and fire.

Li Xingkong wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at Luo Yingxue. Yi Ren always had such a heartfelt smile. At this moment, she turned to look back. The two of them looked at each other, as if they were in Chaoyang City two days ago, where they were undergoing treatment and transfer. When people look at each other and smile, there is only the happiness of helping others, no black flames, no long-lasting sadness.

Time passed bit by bit in a tense and sad atmosphere, the originally gloomy sky became even darker, and night fell quietly.

With the help of Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue, the village after the disaster has restored basic order, and people began to prepare for future life. Simple straw huts were built among the ruins to temporarily cope with the raging wind and snow. and cold nights.

"My two benefactors, it's getting late, why don't you stay tonight." The people who had been favored, under the leadership of the first middle-aged couple, enthusiastically tried to persuade Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue to stay. , "Although the living conditions are a little worse, it also represents the solidarity of all of us."

"Thank you all, we are more respectful than obey." Li Xingkong agreed. In such a harmonious atmosphere, both himself and Luo Yingxue felt a deep warmth, as if the night in the wind and snow was no longer cold.

Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue were placed in a thatched house built by everyone. A few wooden pillars supported the simple eaves. The so-called windows were just a few pieces of rags, spliced ​​together without any rules, and then made of Wooden slats pressed against the wall.

This seemingly miserable living environment is the result of everyone's hard work. Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue insisted on completing the construction despite their refusal. After all, it was not enough for them to live in a place where they could spend the night.

Taking out six magic crystals from the storage ring, Li Xingkong arranged the six-pointed star array to prevent Luo Yingxue's out-of-control power from damaging the ground.

The light of the formation illuminated the dim thatched house, and Luo Yingxue, who was exhausted physically and mentally, lay quietly on it, as if she were a lifelike picture of Sleeping Beauty, exuding dreamlike beauty.

The night wind blew up a corner of the window made of rags, and then entered the simple thatched house, gently swaying Luo Ying's snow-like long hair, as if she was persistently pursuing such a beautiful picture, echoing in the air for a long time and unwilling to dissipate. .

A piece of snowflake fluttered in lightly, and with the reverberating night wind, it floated above the sleeping girl. The light of the six-pointed star array dyed this pure white with a little ruddy color, just like the color of flower petals.

Li Xingkong gently stretched out his hands and caught the snowflakes in his palms before they fell. He lowered his head to look at his beloved. Her long eyelashes vibrated slightly, and a slight smile appeared on her beautiful face, as if she was in the world. A sweet dream somewhere gradually reveals the color of happiness.

With a slight sigh of relief, Li Xingkong, who had been wandering around for two days, suddenly felt that if he could continue like this, it would be a good ending.

Turning around and smoothing the blown-up window again, Li Xingkong leaned on a pillar and fell asleep peacefully, looking forward to entering that unknown sweet dream and meeting Luo Yingxue.

I don't know how much time passed, but in the hazy moment, Li Xingkong felt the sound of faint footsteps. He opened his sleepy eyes and found that it was the little girl he rescued at the beginning. He was holding a worn rag doll in his hand and walked to Luo Yingxue. around.

"Sister, my mother told me to repay a favor." The little girl blinked her innocent eyes and reached out to put the doll on Luo Yingxue's arm. "This is my favorite toy. Give it to big sister."

"do not want!"

Luo Yingxue, who fell into a deep sleep due to overexertion, didn't notice at all, but Li Xingkong suddenly woke up, lost all sleep, and flew forward with all his strength.

Although the little girl's mind was simple, she didn't know that Luo Yingxue could not be touched.

"what!"

A painful cry came out, but Li Xingkong was a step too late after all. The moment the little girl was pushed away, her fingers had already touched Luo Yingxue's jade arm.

The old rag doll burned to ashes in an instant, the little girl's right hand was charred black, and blood dripped down her thin fingers.

Li Xingkong quickly cast water and light healing magic, and frightenedly took the little girl's right hand and looked at it carefully. Fortunately, it was only a momentary touch and did not cause irreversible disaster.

How could an ordinary child who was only four or five years old be able to withstand the pain of black fire? Even for just a short moment, it was enough to be heart-piercing. With the blood dripping from his right hand, heart-rending cries spread with the wind. went and gradually alarmed many people.
