"Hey, these knife wounds were controlled accurately and with consistent force. Although the wounds were deep, they were light. They were obviously caused by people with advanced martial arts skills. However, judging from the direction and traces, they seemed to be caused by self-inflicted wounds..." The young doctor looked at

The boy in front of him frowned, "What's going on?"

"The doctor has superb medical skills, and his vision is correct. There is indeed some reason." Lou Wuchen cupped his hands and said, "Please give me a cure."

"Forget it, what happened has nothing to do with me. Since I have accepted your consultation fee, I will naturally do what I need to do. You -" the doctor pointed to the little boy named Mu Yu, "You follow me

Come."

After the doctor took the little boy into the inner room, Yun Xingxi, who was holding the little girl beside him, asked: "Senior brother? What is going on? What happened?"

Just now, she listened to Lou Wuchen's words and waited on the street, but Lou Wuchen came back after a while, bringing with him a little boy with scars all over his body.

"What happened..." Lou Wuchen's eyes were a little erratic, "It's like this..."

——The time goes back to two quarters of an hour ago.

Just now, Lou Wuchen tried to use the Shinto technique taught by Master Honglian to 'lend' his martial arts power to the little boy in front of him. On the one hand, he had the idea of ​​​​connecting with the magic; on the other hand,

He also wanted the boy to choose how to deal with these people. According to his idea, the boy could just punish or even kill these villains, or forgive them with mercy - no matter what, it had nothing to do with him.

However, the boy's actions were beyond his expectation.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The big man let out a shrill scream, and the boy interrupted his attempt to attack, grabbed the knife from his waist and held it with his backhand.

"I want to take revenge on you." The boy declared, "I want to bring the pain just now to you."

The big man tried to resist, but the boy with the blessing of martial arts easily suppressed him, and then a cold light flashed!

Fountains of blood flying!

Amidst the screams of the big man, the boy calmly made seven deep stab wounds on the big man's body. His calm expression made the gangsters on the side tremble with fear, as if he was no longer a thin little boy in front of him.

A boy, but some kind of monster in human skin.

"Okay, that should be enough." The boy looked at the big man's wounds and nodded, then released his grip on the big man, "My revenge is done."

"Little, little bastard..."

The big man propped up his body in pain. The severe pain took him a long time to complete this simple action: "You win, this time I am the one who failed!"

The big man tried to walk out with difficulty, but the boy held him back forcefully: "Wait a minute."

"I've finished my revenge, now it's your turn." The boy's expression was still calm, and you couldn't tell what he was thinking, "Don't you want to take revenge on you for these stab wounds?"

The big man's pained look showed surprise: "What... do you mean?"

"Want to take revenge? Well, I can tell by the look in your eyes." The boy raised the big man's hanging arms, "You don't have to wait until later, just do it now. I'll help you."

After saying that, under the horrified eyes of everyone, the boy put the knife into the big man's hand, then took the big man's hand and slashed it towards himself!

Blood splatters!

"Well, that's it. There are still six swords left, so you can continue."

"You - you found it yourself!"

"Hahahahaha... Well, that's right. Exactly seven knives, not one too much, not too little." The boy endured several knives from the big man, but still looked at the big man calmly, "How about it, is the revenge over?"

The big man no longer had the same ferocity as before, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood: "It's over, it's over! I can go!"

"Wait." The boy grabbed the big man again and took the knife back into his hand, "...Now, I want to take revenge on these seven knives.

"

The big man's expression suddenly changed!

…

"What's wrong? Why don't you come here with revenge?"

"Madman, madman! You are madman, monster!"

After countless back and forths of the Seven Swordsman, the bruised man looked at the boy who once again put the knife into his hand. The hand holding the knife couldn't stop shaking. As soon as he made a move, it was as if the Seven Swordsmen were about to come.

It has already been cut on the body, but this knife cannot be cut out no matter what.

The big man trembled on the spot for a long time, and finally his spirit collapsed. He fell to the ground with a clang, waving his hands in confusion and crawling back: "Don't come over here, don't come over here!"

The boy who was also covered in scars did not chase after him anymore. He just picked up the knife and looked at him, with even a smile on his lips. Then, the boy turned around and looked at the horrified look of several gangsters: "Now, it's your turn.

You guys."

…

After doing all this, the boy returned to Lou Wuchen and knelt down: "Thank you, immortal."

This time, Lou Wuchen did not stop him.

"...Is this your choice?"

"Back to Immortal, I have already avenged what they did to me. As for the other evil they did... let others take revenge."

"Interesting." Lou Wuchen followed the boy's gaze and looked at the girl beside him, "Indeed, the victim of trafficking is here... So, girl, what do you think?"

The girl's eyes lingered between Lou Wuchen and the boy for a moment, and finally she took a breath and said: "The reporting officer... leave it to the city guard office."

The girl's words determine the fate of several people on the ground. As current criminals of child trafficking, they will be sent to the quarry to work for thirty years - if they can survive until that time.

————————————————————

"Why... why would he do this?" Yun Xingxi asked in confusion.

"I can roughly understand it, but I'm not sure if this is what he thinks." Lou Wuchen pondered for a moment, "Xingxi, how do you understand 'evil'?"

"Well...if you ask me, hurting others can be considered evil, right?"

Lou Wuchen nodded: "Well, that's understandable. So Xingxi, what do you think we should do when we are harmed by evil?"

"First of all...stop it, right? Just like senior brother, you saved them."

"Well, what then?"

"Then, then..." Yun Xingxi began to think with some distress, "Like him...revenge?"

"Yes. It's a choice."

"But why?" Yun Xingxi asked, "The damage caused has already happened. Even if you successfully retaliate, the damage will not disappear, and you will not get any benefits!"

Lou Wuchen raised his eyebrows: "You can understand it as a deterrent. If a person knows that his evil deeds will be retaliated against, then before doing evil, he will weigh whether he really wants to do this.

Do it, and whether you can bear the consequences after doing it. On the contrary, if a person does evil without any price, and will not suffer any retaliation..."

"Hmm... I seem to understand." Yun Xingxi nodded, "But then why did he and the bad guy repeatedly attack each other?"

Lou Wuchen smiled: "Xingxi, just now you said that hurting people is considered evil, so do you think...retaliation and hurting people are considered evil?"

"Eh?!" Yun Xingxi opened his eyes wide, "No, it doesn't count? Since the revenge has been returned, shouldn't it be offset?"

"No. For example, if a person kills another person's father, and that person's son kills him in revenge, will his son take revenge again? And will that person's son kill him again?

Come back with revenge..."

"——?! Wouldn't that be the end of the world?"

Lou Wuchen nodded: "Yes, this is the so-called retribution of injustice. Once evil is produced, it will not disappear. Two equal amounts of evil will not cancel out, but will only continue to attract more evil until one party gives up.

Or...disappear."

Yun Xingxi's face turned pale: "So, revenge is really bad, right?!"

Lou Wuchen shook his head and said: "No, it is precisely because the chain of revenge brings endless hell that evil can be deterred and stopped. This is also the reason why the villain finally collapsed and could not take the knife."

"But! What if the child can't hold on by himself? Without your help, senior brother, he will be weaker than that villain, right?"

"So a powerful subject is needed to carry out this process, through a unity such as a city-state or a country, to carry out punishment on behalf of the victim, thereby deterring evil and eliminating revenge - well, they are out."

Lou Wuchen stood up and looked at the doctor who came out of the inner room: "Doctor, how are you?"

The doctor took out a hand towel and wiped his hands, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, no problem, go back and take good care of yourself. Follow this recipe three times a day. In addition, you have to come here every two days to re-treat it to avoid leaving scars."

...And don’t call me doctor, the master hasn’t let me become a disciple yet, just call me Zizheng.”

"Sir, he has great medical skills. He can easily treat such wounds, and even leave no scars. As a doctor, he deserves to be treated as such." Lou Wuchen bowed and said, "Mr. Zizheng, I'd like to trouble you."

The doctor named Zizheng waved his hand to signal them to leave quickly, and Lou Wuchen stopped being polite and led a few people out of the hospital.

When he got to the street, the boy who had been entangled into a big rice dumpling paused for a moment before he knelt down and worshiped Lou Wuchen again: "Immortal is so kind to you, Muyu——"

"Okay, okay, one time is enough. Just take it easy and don't open the wound again." Lou Wuchen stopped the boy's movements, "Besides, I also have something to ask you."

"This -" Lou Wuchen slowly opened his right hand, revealing a piece of bright golden metal, "Is it yours?"

"This, yes." The boy hesitated a little after answering, and said hesitantly, "Sage, this is actually not..."

Lou Wuchen nodded naturally: "It's not gold, I know."

Yun Xingxi was surprised: "Hey, isn't it? I thought..."

"What do you think?"

"I thought you wanted to ask, senior brother..." Yun Xingxi blushed, lowered his head, and murmured in an increasingly lower voice, "...Looking for gold mines or something..."

Lou Wuchen rolled his eyes: "What do I need a gold mine for? Although gold is good for making wires, I might as well use silver and copper... This is what I'm looking for."

Lou Wuchen pointed to the 'gold nugget' in his hand: "This is pyrite. It looks like gold at first glance and is often misidentified, so it is also called 'fool's gold'."

"Do you know, Immortal?!" The boy's eyes widened in surprise, "Uncle Shi has been searching for a long time but he still hasn't found the origin of this stone! It turns out there is such a saying, he is worthy of being an Immortal!"

"cough!"

Is anyone here still unfamiliar with pyrite? Lou Wuchen coughed guiltily.

But then I thought about it, if it weren't for that, those people wouldn't have been fooled so easily.

"Since this is fake gold, then senior brother, why do you..."

"Although it is fake, to me, it is more useful than gold." Lou Wuchen explained, "The main component of pyrite is ferrous disulfide, which is an important raw material for producing sulfuric acid in industry.

It can also be used as a catalyst in the nitrogen oxide reaction... Well, forget it if you don't understand. In short, it is a very useful mineral - Muyu, can you tell me where this comes from?"
