Many people knelt on the ground helplessly and sadly.

This is their home, embodying the hard work of several generations of them. However, before natural and man-made disasters, human power is so weak that it is no more than a cricket shaking a tree.

Such a serious fire would be impossible to put out by manpower alone unless a heavy rainstorm was to extinguish the fire with the force of thunder.

Some people began to kowtow, some beat their chests and feet, some couldn't bear to look directly, and some prayed for blessings from Bodhisattvas and prayed for miracles to happen...

However, the night sky was calm, with no thunder, no lightning, and no rain.

The howling wind and scorching fire seemed to mock their overestimation.

Despair and depression weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. They felt as if they were in an ice cellar, their bodies and minds were frozen to the bone, and they were unable to fight against the fire.

The ferocious fire expands its territory unbridled, and the heat wave rolls in from the sky. Under the crisis, people's sense of tension and panic are infinitely amplified.

Suddenly, the blazing sea of ​​​​fire stopped...

It seemed as if an invisible wall was struck vertically from the sky, dividing the street into two, with the sea of ​​fire on one side and the surviving human world on the other.

"Fire, is the fire not burning anymore?" A plump middle-aged woman trembled, pointing in the direction of the sea of ​​​​fire with one hand, and pulling her man with the other hand.

The east wind was still blowing strongly, and the huge flames had swallowed up the entire Danyang Mansion. The fire was fierce, but it did not continue to spread outwards...

"That's right, that's right." The man nodded repeatedly, clasped his hands together with some embarrassment, and said with excitement on his face, "This is the Bodhisattva's appearance!"

"Is our house saved?" The middle-aged woman was so excited that her voice was trembling.

Some people hugged each other in twos and threes, hugging each other because of the aftermath of the disaster.

In an alley not far away, a slender purple figure slowly walked out of the darkness, with a fluffy little kitten squatting on its shoulder.

The girl's crystal-like black eyes were incredibly bright against the firelight.

"call--"

Gu Yanfei took a long breath and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "It's so dangerous."

She placed her right hand on her chest, her slender index finger and middle finger raised together, and cotton-like ashes floated down from between the two fingers.

The little calico cat on her shoulder held a talisman in its mouth, swung its fluffy tail and rolled it around her slender neck. Then it kicked off its hind legs and jumped onto the nearest tree as lightly as a swallow.

Sycamore tree.

The crown of the tree shook with a rustling sound, and a few remaining leaves fell.

The little milk cat is small and very agile. It jumps on the canopy of the tree, climbing from one branch to another...

It shuttled through the fire nimbly, and finally leaped to the high wall outside the Danyang Mansion, where it attached the talisman in its mouth.

In an instant, the sparks, dust, etc. on the ground around the government office and on the walls trembled violently.

The invisible wall seemed to shrink in size, tightly suppressing the raging sea of ​​fire within its surrounding circle.

The talisman on the wall burned into ashes in the blink of an eye, mixing with the charcoal and dust around it.

Having completed its mission, the milk cat returned the same way, made a few gentle and skillful leaps, and landed firmly on Gu Yanfei's left shoulder.

"Meow, meow!"

The milk cat raised its chin and meowed several times in a showy manner, with its tail almost raised to the sky.

Gu Yanfei touched the cat's back perfunctorily, still looking at the sea of ​​fire in front of him, his eyes slowly condensed into one point.

There was too little spiritual energy in this small world, and she could only make up for it with quantity. She used all the talismans she had drawn recently and set up another talisman array to control the fire.

She almost caught up with herself...

Gu Yanfei twitched the corner of his mouth, his face turned pale, and there was a feeling of suffocation in his chest. He spit out a mouthful of blood from his lips and dripped to the ground.

The cherry lips were stained red with blood, as if they were stained with lipstick, and they were so gorgeous that they were almost eerie.

She took out a handkerchief from her waist and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth.

After vomiting blood, she obviously felt that her body had become much more relaxed, and the meridians in her body were unblocked, as if the marrow was being washed and the bones were being cut.

Gu Yanfei blinked, her heart as clear as a mirror: This is the merit returned to her by this small world.

Even if there is no aura here, the merits are fair to every living being in the small world.

This is an immutable law.

The little cat meowed happily, and its eyes narrowed in intoxication. The fur on its body became softer and smoother visibly, as if it had been reborn.

It rubbed Gu Yanfei's neck contentedly and felt very good: Well, there is indeed "meat" to eat by following the boss!

Gu Yanfei raised his eyes and looked at the Danyang Mansion in the sea of ​​fire ahead, curling his lips and smiling.

As early as the day she returned to Danyang City, when she entered the city, she discovered that black clouds were hovering above the city, which was an ominous sign. Then she made a fortune and calculated that Danyang City was about to suffer a disaster.

And she would be the only turning point in this disaster, so she chose to stay.

Gu Yanfei raised her right hand, pinched her fingers again, and started counting. Her delicate jade fingers danced flexibly. This time, she was not hindered again.

After a while, she happily stopped.

Originally, most of Danyang City would have been destroyed due to this fire, with countless casualties and no survivors. Now the disaster has been averted!

Master has said that what Tianwen Sect cultivates is merit.

She lost some essence and blood in exchange for great merit, it was worth it!

Gu Yanfei flipped his sleeves coolly and turned to leave.

When he turned around, he glanced at the small alley next to the Danyang Mansion opposite. Standing leisurely at the entrance of the alley was a young man wearing a white cloak, it was Chu Yi.

Not far behind Chu Yi, Xiao Shi strode in the other direction with the little girl in his arms, coaxing: "Where is your home? Can my brother take you to find your parents..."

Xiao Shi didn't see Gu Yanfei, but Chu Yi saw her and looked at her from afar with a smile.

The two people's eyes met, and for a moment, time seemed to have stopped.

The Danyang Mansion next to it was completely engulfed by the sea of ​​fire, like a huge bonfire. The scorching light of the fire cast a red halo around Chu Yi, making his features look picturesque.

A pair of eyes as bright as stars were calm and deep, staring at her deeply.

He looked at her for a while, and his Adam's apple moved up and down, as if he felt hot. He untied the string of the cloak, and a little firelight softly fell on his neck. A beautiful collarbone could be vaguely seen at the collar, with a graceful arc.

, shimmering faintly.

He smiled slightly, and Gu Yanfei also smiled brightly.

Then, she turned around without saying a word, without saying goodbye, and left without a trace of nostalgia.

Chu Yi watched Gu Yanfei quietly as she left, her back gradually disappearing into the thick night.

It wasn't until she was no longer visible that Chu Yi withdrew his gaze and took out the red kit from his sleeve again.

There were only a few pieces of ashes the size of fingernails left in the kit.
