LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 20
Chapter 20: Merit
Chapter 20 Merit
Many people knelt on the ground in grief and powerlessness.
This is their home, which is the result of their efforts of generations, but before natural disasters and man-made disasters, the power of human beings is so weak, it is no different from clams shaking a tree.
Such a serious fire, unless the next torrential rain extinguishes the fire with the momentum of thunder, it is impossible to put out the fire by manpower alone.
Some people started to kowtow, some beat their chests and feet, some couldn’t bear to look directly, and some prayed for the protection of the Bodhisattva, praying for a miracle to happen…
However, the night sky was calm, there was no thunder, no lightning, and no rain.
The howling wind and the scorching fire seemed to mock their overreaching.
Despair and depression weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone. They felt like they were in an ice cellar. They were completely frozen from body to heart, and they were powerless to fight this fire.
The fierce fire expands its territory unscrupulously, and the heat wave is rolling in the sky. Under the crisis, people’s sense of tension and panic is infinitely amplified.
Suddenly, the raging fire stopped…
There seemed to be an invisible wall that fell vertically from the sky, dividing the street in two, with the sea of fire on one side and the surviving human world on the other.
“Fire, is the fire no longer burning?” A plump middle-aged woman trembled, pointing in the direction of the sea of fire with one hand and pulling at her man with the other.
The east wind is still blowing strongly, and the huge flame has engulfed the entire Danyang government office. The fire is fierce, but it does not continue to spread outward…
“That’s right, that’s right.” The man nodded again and again, clasped his hands together in a choked voice, and said excitedly, “This is the manifestation of the Bodhisattva!”
“Our house is saved?” The middle-aged woman was so excited that her throat was shaking.
Some people hugged each other in twos and threes, hugging each other for the rest of their lives.
In an alley not far away, a slender purple figure slowly walked out of the darkness, with a fluffy little milk cat squatting on his shoulders.
The girl’s crystal-like black eyes were surprisingly bright against the firelight.
“Call—”
Gu Yanfei let out a long breath and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: “It’s dangerous.”
Her right hand was placed in front of her chest, her slender index and middle fingers were raised together, and ashes like cotton wool floated down from between the two fingers.
The three-flower cat on her shoulder held a talisman in her mouth, rolled her slender neck with her fluffy fur tail, and then kicked her hind legs, and jumped onto the nearest tree as light as a swallow. Sycamore tree.
The crown of the tree trembled, and a few remnants of leaves fell.
The little milk cat is small and very agile, jumping on the crown of the tree, from branch to branch, step by step…
It shuttled through the fire flexibly, and finally leaped to the high wall outside the Danyang Mansion, and stuck the talisman in its mouth on it.
In an instant, the sparks, dust, etc. on the ground around the mansion and on the walls trembled violently.
The invisible wall seemed to have shrunk in a circle, firmly suppressing the raging sea of fire within its encirclement.
The talisman on the top of the wall burned to ashes in the snap of his fingers, mixed with the surrounding coke and dust.
After completing the task, the milk cat returned to the original path, and after a few leaps, it landed firmly on Gu Yanfei’s left shoulder.
“Meow, meow!”
The milk cat raised its chin and barked several times in a show, and its tail was about to be raised to the sky.
Gu Yanfei touched the cat’s back perfunctorily, still staring at the sea of fire in front of him, his eyes slowly condensing into a little.
This small world has too little spiritual energy, so she can only make up for it with the amount of use. She used all the talismans she had recently drawn, and laid out a talisman array to control the fire.
It’s almost like she’s going to catch up with herself…
Gu Yanfei pulled the corners of his mouth, his face was pale, a feeling of suffocation came from his chest, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spit out between his lips, dripping to the ground.
The cherry lips were stained red with blood, as if they were stained with mouth grease, so gorgeous that it was almost weird.
She took out a handkerchief from her waist and slowly wiped the corner of her mouth.
After vomiting blood, she obviously felt that her body became a lot more relaxed, and the meridians in her body were smooth, like washing the marrow and cutting the bones.
Gu Yanfei blinked, her heart like a mirror: This is the merit that this small world gave her back.
Even if there is no spiritual energy here, merit is fair to every creature in the small world.
This is the immutable law.
The little milk cat let out a happy “meow”, her cat eyes narrowed intoxicatedly, and the fur on her body became softer and smoother visibly, as if it were reborn.
It rubbed Gu Yanfei’s neck contentedly, in a good mood: Well, following the boss, there is indeed “meat” to eat!
Gu Yanfei raised his eyes and looked at the Danyang government office in the sea of fire ahead, and smiled.
As early as the day she returned to Danyang City, when she entered the city, she found that the black clouds lingered over the city, which was an ominous omen. Now she calculated a hexagram and calculated that there would be a major disaster in Danyang City.
And she will be the only turning point in this disaster, so she chose to stay.
Gu Yanfei raised her right hand, pinched her fingers again and counted, her slender fingers danced nimbly, this time, she was no longer hindered.
After a while, she happily accepted it.
Originally, most of Danyang City would be destroyed by this fire, with countless casualties and three out of ten. Now the disaster has been lifted!
Master said that what they cultivated in Tianwen Zong was merit.
She lost some blood essence and gained back great merit, it was worth it!
Gu Yanfei flicked his sleeves smartly and turned to leave.
When turned around, his eyes swept across the small alley next to the Danyang government office. At the entrance of the alley stood a young man in a white cloak, which was Chu Yi.
Chu Yi was not far behind, Xiao Shi held the little girl and strode in the other direction, coaxing, “Where is your home? My brother will take you to find your parents, okay…”
Xiao Shi didn’t see Gu Yanfei, but Chu Yi saw her and looked at her with a smile.
The eyes of the two met, and at this moment, time seemed to stop.
The Danyang government office next to was completely swallowed up by the sea of flames, like a huge bonfire, and the scorching fire reflected a red halo around Chu Yi’s body, which made him look picturesque.
A pair of bright, star-like eyes stared at her deeply.
He looked at her for a while, his Adam’s apple moved up and down, as if he felt hot, he adjusted the tether of the cloak, lighted the light and sprinkled it softly on his neck, and a beautiful collarbone was visible at the neckline, with a beautiful arc. , shimmering faintly.
He smiled slightly, and Gu Yanfei also smiled sweetly.
Then, she turned around without saying a word, and left without saying goodbye, without a trace of nostalgia.
Chu Yi quietly watched Gu Yanfei as she left, her back gradually disappeared into the thick night.
Until she couldn’t see her figure, Chu Yi withdrew his gaze and took out the red bag from his sleeve again.
In the kit, only a few pieces of ashes the size of fingernails remained.
Stand-alone is so boring, meow meow.
