The master said not to judge people by their appearance

Chapter 102

Three days have passed since the change of the magic dragon, and Jeju City has gradually recovered from the initial chaos.

Yuan Yi died, and Mu Qingyun fled Jeju with a group of his cronies in the chaos. He left in time. Although Xie Yunlan only brought Shen Fan into the city on the ninth day of the first lunar month, he sent someone to send a message to Huang Yaowu in advance. Huang Yaowu must be careful The Yuanrong people outside the pass could not leave Yazhou, so they asked Wang Tai to lead [-] troops to support them.

The supporting soldiers and horses arrived in the evening, and everything was over at this time, whether it was the rebellion of Yuan Yi and others, or the disaster caused by the magic dragon.

Bing Yi and Meng Zejun also left separately. In the past three days, Xie Yunlan was busy dealing with the aftermath of the Jeju incident.

Except for Yuan Yi who was possessed by the heart demon, Shen Fan actually did not cause any direct casualties, but only destroyed some houses during the fight with Bing Yi.

But the people of Jeju ran away in fright, and the city of Jeju was almost empty. Xie Yunlan was busy asking people to post notices, telling the people that the chaos in Jeju had been resolved and they could come back with peace of mind.

At the same time, he asked people to repair the damaged houses, and all the expenses were borne by him personally.

After being so busy for three days, it was finally almost completed today. The people returned to the city one after another, and the shops on the street began to operate normally.

When Xie Yunlan finished his work and was about to return home, Wang Tai, who had gone out to do errands, came back, and he reported: "Master, I still haven't found the whereabouts of Mu Qingyun and his group."

After Mu Qingyun left the city with [-] soldiers, he disappeared without a trace. Wang Tai led people to chase him that night, but there was no news.

However, Yuan Yi, the leader of the rebel party, is dead, and Mu Qingyun himself can't make any waves, so Xie Yunlan said: "Leave him alone for now."

Compared to that, he had one thing he was more concerned about, he asked: "Have you still not found Yuan Yi's body?"

"Yes!" Wang Tai replied, "Miss's body was not found either."

Xie Yuzhen's body might have been taken away by Mu Qingyun. It was too chaotic at the time, and Xie Yunlan really didn't pay attention, but it was normal for Mu Qingyun to take Xie Yuzhen's body away. Where did Yuan Yi's body go?

Is it Yuan Yi's subordinates?Why did they take Yuan Yi's body away?It's not like Mu Qingyun who wanted to take Xie Yuzhen's body away even in such a critical moment because of his feelings for Xie Yuzhen. How could Yuan Yi's subordinates be so loyal?

Xie Yunlan felt strange no matter how he thought about it, and he felt a faint sense of unease.

The noise in front interrupted his thoughts. While speaking, he and Wang Tai had already returned to the gate of the prefect's mansion. Xie Yunlan temporarily acted as the prefect of Jeju, and at the same time lived in the prefect's mansion temporarily.

It was already evening, and it was supposed to be the time to rest at sunset, but there were many people around the gate of the mansion, and Xie Yunlan could hear their yelling from a distance.

"Where is Mr. Xie? I heard that the magic dragon was captured by Mr. Xie, why not just kill him!"

"That's right! How can such a monster survive!"

"Thank you, my lord, for killing the demons!"

The shouts of the crowd became louder and louder, Xie Yunlan frowned, and he gave Wang Tai a few instructions, asking Wang Tai to send away the people gathered in front of the mansion.

Wang Tai did as he said, and after finding a reason to send everyone away, Xie Yunlan just came out from the corner.

Those people who questioned were sent away by Wang Tai, but Wang Tai also had doubts in his heart. On the way into the mansion, he asked cautiously: "Master Hou, is the magic dragon they are talking about a master?"

When Shen Fan transformed back into the dragon body, the people of Jeju were in a time-suspended state, but the scene where he killed Yuan Yi was seen by everyone. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that he is the magic dragon, there are still rumors in Jeju city gossip.

Facing Wang Tai's question, Xie Yunlan was silent for a moment before saying: "He is not a magic dragon."

"I'll just say it!" Wang Tai didn't really understand Xie Yunlan's meaning, he breathed a sigh of relief, "How could the master be a magic dragon?"

Xie Yunlan didn't correct him either, he sent Wang Tai away as well, and walked into a courtyard ahead alone.

Although the thunderstorm stopped three days ago, Shen Fan was seriously injured and passed out, but fortunately, he turned back into a human form before he fell into a coma, and Xie Yunlan was able to bring him back to the mansion.

He wiped off the dirt on Shen Fan's body, and he also treated the wound that was struck by lightning for Shen Fan. For three days, he changed his medicine every day. Thanks to such careful care, he could already see The wound is slowly healing.

There is only one wound that will never heal, and it is the severed dragon horns.

Perhaps it was the reason why his power was completely split by the thunder. He couldn't even keep his human form intact. When he was in a coma, his forehead was always pressed against the pair of severed horns.

Xie Yunlan pushed open the door and was slightly taken aback when he saw the person standing by the window.

Shen Fan did not know when he woke up, he stood alone by the window, looking at the vast night outside the house.

Xie Yunlan's heart skipped a beat. The house is not far from the gate of the mansion, so I don't know if Shen Fan heard the content of the group's noise just now.

He walked to Shen Fan's side, greeted him in a normal way, "When did you wake up?"

Shen Fan didn't answer, nor looked at him.

Xie Yunlan was afraid that someone would come again outside the gate of the mansion, so she stretched out her hand to close the window for Shen Fan, at least to block it.

At the same time, he made an excuse: "It's cold outside, go sit on the bed, I just happened to help you change your medicine..."

Shen Fan remained silent, but when the window was about to be closed, he said abruptly, "Why didn't you kill me?"

"I'm a monster that's causing trouble to the world, you should kill me." Shen Fan's tone was very light and cold, as indifferent as if he was talking about the life and death of others.

He heard it... Xie Yunlan was silent for a while before saying: "It's not your fault, it's the demons controlling you, you are innocent."

"Innocent? I'm not innocent." Shen Fan looked at him and said, "The demons didn't come out of nowhere, Xie Yunlan, I have resentment in my heart."

"That's not your fault either!" Xie Yunlan felt sorry for Shen Fan, "Because of that kind of mistake, if you treat you like this, if you were anyone, you would feel resentment in your heart. In the final analysis, it is the injustice of heaven!"

"It's not like that..." Shen Fan looked at the dark sky outside the window and murmured, "I know it's not that reason."

Although he roared and questioned the sky under the thunderstorm, it was under the influence of the demon's magic power, and his resentment was infinitely magnified.The thunder split off his dragon horn, and also scattered all his power, whether it was divine power or magical power.

He has degenerated into the most ordinary monster flood dragon, and he can't even maintain his human body completely, but it also has a good effect, that is, after splitting all the demonic energy, he can temporarily get rid of the influence of the inner demons and restore his normal mind .

He actually knew that Heavenly Dao didn't punish him for that reason.

Xie Yunlan was taken aback: "Why is that?"

Shen Fan didn't answer, he was silent for a while, and suddenly told Xie Yunlan about his childhood: "I used to...it was when the world was first opened, the order had not yet been established, the world was still in chaos, and the wind, fire, thunder and lightning were irregular. , the sun, moon and stars change at will."

Shen Fan was born in such a primitive world, and the cycle of life and death has not yet been established in such a chaotic world. He doesn't need to guard Nether, he is just an ignorant young dragon on Zhongshan Mountain.

He was born by heaven and raised by heaven.

"When I'm thirsty, rain will fall from the sky. When I'm tired, a breeze will blow from the mountains to lull me to sleep. When I'm bored, a rainbow will appear in the sky." Shen Fan recalled scenes from his childhood. It's been too long in the past, and he can't remember many things clearly, but he always remembers that at that time, whatever he wanted, God would satisfy him.

"If you want the wind, you need the wind, if you want the rain, you need the rain..." Xie Yunlan thought of this sentence.

"That's right." Shen Fan said, "Later, God gave me a second soul fire. Others only have one. I am the only one who has two soul fires. All ghosts and monsters in the world cannot invade them. Some people say that I am blessed by nature."

"Then why is he treating you like this now?" Xie Yunlan asked puzzled.

The past mentioned by Shen Fan is actually similar to what Xie Yunlan once guessed. He was indeed brought up pampered and doted on, and this parent's doting is incomparable, which is truly unique.

But why did the sky become like this?That Thunder is cold and ruthless. In fact, Xie Yunlan didn't go for Shen Fan's dragon horn at that time. He was just a mortal. How could he control such a Thunder God that even gods and demons shunned him? It was that Wanjun Thunder that led him The blade of his sword slashed down brazenly.

It wasn't enough for the sky to break off one of Shen Fan's dragon horns, the only one left had to do the same.

"I don't understand either..." Shen Fan said lightly.

After thinking about it for ten years, he still couldn't figure out why the sky treated him like this.

Because of this, resentment arose in his heart.

At first, it was just a trivial point, like a casual complaint from ordinary people, but the inner demon took advantage of it.

Just like what Shen Fan once said to Xie Yunlan, the inner demon is the weakest demon, because of its weakness, it penetrates everywhere.

Even though Shen Fan has two soul fires, one of which is still the most blazing fire in the world, the demon still finds a gap to intrude. His resentment is getting deeper and heavier, but does he have two soul fires? Fire protection, just like what Xie Yunlan saw in his dream, the shadow in the soul fire grew very slowly, and it would take too long for the inner demon to completely control him.

So the heart demon began to split, and it split into four clones, making them go to the human world. Its main body grew too slowly on Shen Fan, but mortals are excellent training containers for the heart demon. To devour their power can speed up the control of Shen Fan.

It's not that Shen Fan is unaware of the tricks of the inner demon, he knew it when he saw the residual demonic energy in Yuan Shuo's body in Beijing.

"I can't really defeat it..." Shen Fan murmured, "The heart demon is immortal."

Just like the four monster flood dragons that came back from the dead, since Shen Fan killed them, they lingered before Shen Fan's eyes, whispering hatred, just like lingering ghosts, and Xie Yunlan left the capital. Along the way, he was bewitched by the monster dragon every day.

This was an illusion that only he could see. Xie Yunlan was clearly with him all the time, but she didn't realize it.

Xie Yunlan felt a little uncomfortable hearing that, Shen Fan had been enduring such pain all along.

"Are they still there?" he asked.

"It's always been there." Shen Fan's gaze fell on a void where four monster dragons were swimming and wandering in the void, repeating the resentment in his heart constantly.

Even though all the dragon's horns had been chopped off and his powers were gone, the inner demon still did not let him go.

"I was born to protect the order of the reincarnation of the underworld, but I have become what I am today..." Shen Fan touched the broken horn on his forehead that was severed by the thunder, and said softly, "He must be very disappointed in me."

"You shouldn't have saved me, Xie Yunlan." Shen Fan said, "I can't get rid of the influence of the inner demon. Sooner or later, the thing about the demon dragon will happen again. You should kill me."

Xie Yunlan didn't speak, maybe Shen Fan was right, the only way to solve the disaster of inner demons was to kill Shen Fan.

But he was silent for a long while, and then asked Shen Fan a question: "Why didn't you kill me?"

Obviously Shen Fan was completely controlled by the demon at that time, he could sacrifice the lives of all the people in Jeju, but he could not do anything to Xie Yunlan.

Is it because he wants someone to save him?But why is this person Xie Yunlan?

Shen Fan didn't speak anymore.

On the same question, both sides are silent.

It was snowing outside the window, and it was already the season of spring thawing in the surrounding places, but in this northwest border town, the winter seemed to be endless, and their silence was as endless as this winter.

Xie Yunlan almost thought that he would not get the answer from Shen Fan, but suddenly, as if the frozen lake broke through the ice, a warmth mixed with frost approached him.

What's cold is the hand that raised his chin, what's hot is the sudden approaching breath.

"What is human love like?" Shen Fan rubbed against him with the tip of his nose, his voice murmured and hoarse, as if he was puzzled.

"Is that so?" He pressed a kiss on the tightly pursed lips, which was so light that it fell apart with one touch.

Xie Yunlan hugged him suddenly, not letting him go away.

"It's not just that..." He bit his cold lips, panting and falling with the other party.
