Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

The people and soldiers who were in charge of driving the waterwheels were all very surprised:

"Is it really destroyed?"

"It's really extinguished! No need to fetch water!"

Everyone was immediately overjoyed.

But soon someone realized something was wrong and called out to the bailiff:

"How could the fire be put out so quickly?"

You know, when they left, the fire was raging and several streets were engulfed in flames.

The dozens of truckloads of water that were pumped back earlier were simply not usable.

They haven’t even pulled back the water yet, how could the fire be put out suddenly?

The yamen runner slapped his forehead and said with a smile:

"It's my fault. I was so happy and confused that I didn't explain clearly. The fire was put out by the gods! The prefect asked me to inform everyone to transport the water back so that everyone can go back and rest!"

After saying this, he whipped his horse whip and ran happily out of the city to inform others.

The people who were left driving the water truck were still confused:

"What happened to the fire being put out by the gods?"

"Yeah, why is this kid so weird?"

"You'll know when you go back and take a look!"

Half an hour later, when everyone drove back to the area in East City that was originally engulfed in fire, they saw charred and collapsed houses everywhere, but no sparks could be seen.

Moreover, as soon as I approached the area, I could smell a particularly obvious smell of moisture, and the ground was covered with water, as if there had just been a heavy rain.

"The fire is actually out!"

"Someone just told us that the fire was put out by the gods. What's going on?"

Seeing their confused looks, the yamen runners who were still on the scene doing post-disaster resettlement kindly helped them answer their questions.

It turned out that an hour ago, all the officials, soldiers, and civilians were in deep despair.

The fire started after nightfall yesterday, and because there was not enough water nearby, the fire quickly spread to half of the street.

By the time people finally gathered more than a dozen buckets of water, it was still not enough to put out the fierce fire.

Even more unfortunately, a strong wind blew soon after, and the fire spread directly to two nearby streets.

By daybreak, three entire streets had been burned.

After receiving the report, the prefect organized the people and yamen runners to fetch water outside the city overnight.

However, the outside of the city was too far away, and by the time they brought back the first batch of water, the fire had spread to five streets.

What’s even more despairing is that the wind started to blow again.

The fire was already big, and when the wind blew, many sparks and flames were blown to the two nearby streets.

As the fire was about to spread to seven streets, people who were desperately pouring water to put out the fire noticed a strange phenomenon in the distance and shouted:

"Look everyone, there are dark clouds coming!"

Not long after he finished speaking, the dark clouds actually floated directly into the sky in front of them, instantly blocking the scorching sun and causing the light to dim instantly.

"What a fast cloud!"

The people who were struggling to put out the fire at the edge of the sea of ​​fire were all stunned.

"Why did it get dark so suddenly?"

Looking up at the sky, I saw a thick layer of dark clouds.

People have never been so happy to see dark clouds.

"It's a dark cloud!"

"It's going to rain! Now the fire can be saved!"

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a cold voice that rang out like waves in the fire sea for several streets:

"Linzhou prefect, obey your orders!"

The prefect of Linzhou, who was personally at the head of the fire directing the fire-fighting, suddenly felt his hair stand on end and looked around.

Then the voice continued:

"I am the Venerable Du'e, and I have come to help you put out the fire."

"I am about to send down a heavy rainstorm. You must organize everyone to evacuate 50 meters away within a moment!"

Although these words were only said once, for some reason, the prefect of Linzhou was very afraid and subconsciously obeyed the words. He immediately sent a runner on horseback to deliver the message.

Because of the prefect's order, and also because the sound was not yelling at the top of one's lungs, it was still heard by everyone. It was truly magical.

Even the most emotional people obeyed the government's orders and temporarily withdrew fifty feet away.

Then they saw an extremely shocking scene.

The dark cloud that originally shrouded their heads quickly floated above the sea of ​​fire, covering part of the sea of ​​fire, and then slowly descended from a height of hundreds of feet, getting lower and lower.

Then they saw what a downpour looked like.

It seemed as if there was a hole in the dark clouds, and heavy rain poured down in an instant.

But in just a breath or two, the flames below were forcefully extinguished.

This shocking scene immediately made the people cheer:

"The gods have appeared!"

"What a good deity that saves people from suffering!"

Some even knelt down and kowtowed:

"Thank God for saving us!"

"I will never forget your great kindness!"

After putting out the fire in one area, the dark cloud moved to the nearby area where the fire was still burning raging, and continued to rain to put out the fire.

Everyone present fell silent and watched this scene quietly, their hearts filled with shock and awe.

Such an amazing sight, as if it was controlled by an invisible giant hand, no one could do it except gods.

Half a minute later, the dark clouds became thinner and thinner, and the raging fire that covered five blocks was completely extinguished.

The soldiers, civilians and officials who watched the miracle with bated breath could not help but cheer.

"The fire is out!"

"We are saved!"

Especially for the nearby residents who had not been affected by the fire, it was a great joy that their houses were saved.

The prefect of Linzhou was wiping the sweat from his forehead, with an expression of someone who had survived a disaster.

Everyone knows that the bigger the fire, the harder it is to put out.

It was his fault that such a big fire broke out in Linzhou, but if the fire really spread to burn down twenty or thirty streets, or even half of the city, he would probably have to lose his head to fill the gap.

The immortal who had not shown up just now not only saved these people, but also saved his life!

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving the people of Linzhou Prefecture!"

He didn't care about the dirt on the ground and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

This gratitude is extremely sincere.

Seeing the prefect kneeling and kowtow, all the common people and soldiers present also knelt and kowtowed in thanks.

However, no sound responded to them.

The immortal left after doing his good deed, which made everyone feel extremely regretful.

When people tried to enter the area that had been burned by the fire and rescue some usable materials, they felt the scorching heat.

Thinking of the white eyes that appeared when it first rained, some people suddenly realized:

"No wonder the Venerable asked us to evacuate 50 meters away. If we had stood closer, we would have been burned by the scalding steam!"

Such gentle and caring heart made everyone feel warm and touched, and they loved this immortal who called himself Du'e Zun Zhe even more.

The people and soldiers driving the water wheels listened attentively and exclaimed in amazement.

Finally someone came to his senses and said:

"So, is the one we saw by the river just now the immortal?"

"Yes, aren't those two dark clouds drifting towards the city in the east?"

"So, we are the only ones who saw the true form of the immortal!"

Speaking of this, they suddenly became extremely excited.

Hearing what they said, the yamen runners in the city and the surrounding people immediately asked curiously about what was happening outside the city.

Thus, the full picture of the immortal Master Du'e putting out the fire was revealed to everyone.

People then realized that the immortal was in the Qing River outside the city, drawing water to turn it into clouds and manipulating the clouds to bring rain, thus saving everyone.

Some people who had originally planned to set up an altar and perform rituals to ask the gods to come again to alleviate the drought silently gave up the idea.

I'm afraid this deity is not the real deity in charge of wind and rain, otherwise, he should be called the Rain God instead of Venerable Du'e.

But no matter what, everyone is still very grateful to Venerable Du'e for showing his divine help to them when they were in danger and despair.

The miracles of Master Du'e were being spread by word of mouth everywhere in the city.

Even the storyteller at the inn where Chen Qingzhu and others were staying kept up with the current affairs in the city during dinner time and told the strange story of "Venerable Du'e drawing water to form clouds and put out the fire."

Several servants of the Qin family were having dinner in the lobby downstairs, listening with great interest. When they set out the next day, they were still discussing the matter, beating their chests and stamping their feet with regret:

"It was the same last time on the boat. We were just one step away from seeing the appearance of the Venerable Du'e!"

"Yes, that was the closest we ever got to a fairy. If we had chased after them and helped, we would have definitely seen the fairy! But we didn't go!"

"It was the same yesterday. We were in the south of the city, and the Venerable Du'e appeared in the east! We didn't see it again! If we were kind enough to go put out the fire, we might have seen it!"

"Alas! I always miss out on opportunities. What a pity! Why am I so unlucky?"
