The master said not to judge people by their appearance

Luo Yong'an smiled: "Master Xie guessed it."

"I should have guessed it earlier." Xie Yunlan said in a deep voice.

Everything is not traceless. Zhang Li was released from prison by Xu Xin. Xu Xin naturally has the ability to transfer the prisoner out of thin air without disturbing others. It is just because he is the prefect of Cangzhou, and the officers under him know the truth. Xie Yunlan did not dare to speak out.

This is true for Zhang Li, and the same is true for He Zhu's disappearance.Xu Xin probably made up a name, such as an interrogation, to rationalize his behavior. The guards did not suspect his connection with the monster, but only because he accidentally lost He Zhu. Lying in front of Xie Yunlan, and using some intimidation and inducement methods, the people under him will naturally keep their mouths shut.

Of course, it seems unreliable to use this excuse twice in a row, so when he released Zhang Li, he used Luo Hongyuan. The meeting with Luo Hongyuan at Caiyunfang that night, presumably he deliberately revealed the snake transformation to Luo Hongyuan. The other party was in constant panic, so he could use Luo Hongyuan's name to release Zhang Li, and then use the snake to drown him in the Cangjiang River.

What's more, he purposely chose Caiyunfang as the meeting place, and happened to meet Xie Yunlan, which was also intentional. When he heard the news that Xie Yunlan and Shen Fan were looking for Yunxiu, he was worried that Yunxiu had slipped his mouth, so he specially used that way to interrupt them.

There is also Zheng Rui's family. Xu Xin never thought of letting them go, but he was not in a hurry to do it. Suffering a serious injury, he needed to recover from his grievances, and the sudden arrival of Xie Yunlan and Shen Fan disrupted his original plan, so he didn't have time to slowly increase his strength.

The dragon horn mentioned in the conversation that night made Xu Xin realize that this was an opportunity, so he rushed ahead of Xie Yunlan's men and sent Hua Snake to rush to Huaizhou from the waterway to kill Zheng Rui's family and seize the dragon horn.

Xie Yunlan should have realized at that time that the person possessed by the demon was beside them, so he knew their movements like the palm of his hand.

It's a pity that he didn't. Xu Xin's appearance was indeed very misleading. Xie Yunlan never doubted him because of his preconceptions.

"Master Xie thinks it's strange?" Luo Yong'an saw Xie Yunlan's thoughts, he raised his hand to touch his face, and said to himself, "How did I become like this?"

Ten years ago, Luo Yong'an was a thin scholar. Although his appearance was not as outstanding as Xu Liniang's, he was still handsome.

But Luo Yong'an in front of him, or Xu Xin, the prefect of Cangzhou, is bloated, and the fat on his face squeezes his facial features, making him look extremely ugly.

As if he had suppressed it for too long, Luo Yong'an had a desire to confide in him. He was talking to himself, telling the two people in front of him what happened ten years ago.

"Ten years ago, as you all know, I met Luo Hongyuan at the gate of the prefect's mansion. I realized that he was responsible for the river god's apparition. I was so angry that I punched him. It's a pity that I was so weak that I was defeated by him." His entourage fell to the ground, he dragged me away and locked me in the woodshed, and on that rainy night, tied my hands and feet, and threw me into the Cangjiang River."

"Perhaps the heavens have eyes, and I was lucky enough to survive. I was washed to the shore by the waves and rescued by a fisherman. Although I did not drown in the river, I was also seriously injured because of Luo Hongyuan's previous beating. Soon to die."

"It so happened that the fisherman who rescued me turned out to be a hermit living in seclusion in the countryside. He was skilled in medicine and used many medicines to hang me. However, the result of excessive medicine was that my body was bloated and different from ordinary people, and it was difficult to restore my original appearance. .”

Luo Yong'an's tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

Xie Yunlan didn't interrupt him, as soon as he went up the tower, he found that the place seemed extraordinarily cold, and this cold aura was very similar to what he felt when encountering the snake.

He quietly met Shen Fan's eyes, and Shen Fan nodded slightly, confirming his guess that the rain-calling formation is here, and what makes Xie Yunlan feel uncomfortable is the resentment gathered in the formation here.

The two reached a tacit understanding silently, Xie Yunlan moved quietly to stand in front of Shen Fan, and Shen Fan ignited his soul fire and began to break the formation.

Luo Yong'an didn't seem to notice it at all, he continued on his own.

"But beauty and ugliness are irrelevant to me after Liniang's death. This ugly body still provides me with certain convenience. No one in the world can recognize Luo Yong'an. After recuperating in the countryside for a year, My pseudonym was Xu Xin, and I began to run around, hoping to get a recommendation from a famous teacher, and go to Beijing to find an official position."

"It's a pity that no matter how hard I try and how well my poems are written, they won't even give me a chance when they see my appearance."

"I have to be an official. The Luo family has deep roots, and it is impossible for ordinary people to overthrow them. But my appearance is not elegant, and I am destined to miss an official career. I have used this flattering trick for many years, and finally, I slowly climbed up to Mrs. Luo's side and became her confidant, and, as I wished, I was transferred to Cangzhou as the prefect a year ago."

"But it's still not enough. Even the prefect of Cangzhou is just an ant that can be crushed to death in front of the huge Luo family."

"I originally planned to collect a little bit of evidence to pry the Luo family, and it would take another ten years. Luo Hongyuan, a scumbag, can live for another ten years." Luo Yong'an looked very flat when he mentioned other things, but Gritting his teeth when he heard Luo Hongyuan's name, the muscles on his face trembled so hard, but he suddenly smiled again, "God still favors me, you see, I have obtained the supernatural power to call wind and rain."

"That's not divine power!" Xie Yunlan said coldly, "That's the demon that is causing trouble in the world!"

"So what about gods, and what about demons." Luo Yong'an said calmly, "Why did Liniang die? Because of Luo Hongyuan, because of that illusory river god. Gods never helped me, but demons extended a helping hand to me."

"The devil will not help others selflessly." While Luo Yong'an was speaking, most of the formation had been broken, and the rain began to weaken. Shen Fan took the time to say, "It is just using your resentment to strengthen itself."

"Then let it use it." Luo Yong'an said indifferently, "I am no longer a human being, but a lingering ghost. The inner demon gave me the power of revenge and allowed me to see Liniang again. Then it wants to Anything, even my soul, you can take it if you want."

Xie Yunlan felt relieved when he saw the weakening of the rain, he continued to delay the time for Shen Fan, and said to Luo Yong'an: "It's a snake, Xu Liniang died a long time ago!"

"I know." Luo Yong'an looked calm, he was different from Yun Xiu, he knew clearly, "My Liniang will never come back, that is just a monster I created with resentment."

"But so what? This monster can help me avenge me. It came to claim the lives of those who killed Liniang with Liniang's face on it. You don't know what those people looked like when they saw it." Luo Yong'an laughed Get up, as if very happy.

"Then what are you doing now?" Xie Yunlan questioned. He originally thought that Luo Yong'an continued to kill people in order to let the snake with Xu Liniang's face absorb the resentment for a long time, but now it seems that this is not the case. There are feelings, but not for the snake.

"Luo Hongyuan is dead, and your revenge is over." Xie Yunlan said in a deep voice.

"Is it over?" Luo Yong'an asked back, his tone was high, with strong hatred, "Luo Hongyuan is guilty, Zhang Li is guilty, Zheng Rui is guilty, these Cangzhou people who pushed Liniang into the water, are they not guilty?!"

"My resentment is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea!" Luo Yong'an paused every word, "Blood debt is paid with blood, and if one of them is still alive, my resentment will never be appeased!"

"Then you're going to kill them all?!" Xie Yunlan yelled angrily, "There are [-] people in Cangzhou, not all of them participated in the events of the past, and there are even newborn children who were not born ten years ago. What do they have? Guilty! Why do you judge them!"

Luo Yong'an looked at him coldly and did not answer.

Xie Yunlan took a deep breath, and advised: "The big mistake has not been made, stop it."

The resentment for summoning the rain was burnt out by the soul fire, and the rain became smaller and smaller. From the heavy rain not long ago to now there are only two or three raindrops left. Whether Luo Yong'an agrees or not, the rain is about to stop.

But Luo Yong'an said in the wind and rain that was about to stop: "I can't judge."

"Then let the rain judge!" Luo Yong'an raised his arms high and looked up at the sky, "Who lives and who dies, who is right and who is wrong, let the rain judge!"

Xie Yunlan's expression changed, and he realized something was wrong.

Shen Fan also looked serious, but they didn't know what Luo Yong'an had to do.

"Master Xie, Master Shen, I don't want to kill you." Luo Yong'an said slowly, "I am very grateful that you uncovered Liniang's case and avenged our wrongdoing."

"Unfortunately, it's too late."

This justice came ten years late. During the ten years, hatred has become Luo Yong'an's only obsession in life, and it will be difficult to dispel it in this life.

"I wish you all live." Luo Yong'an looked at the vast river outside the city, a hint of tenderness suddenly appeared on that ferocious face full of hatred, under this ugly skin, he could vaguely see the girl who met her sweetheart ten years ago. A young scholar who would be embarrassed to bow his head at a glance.

Luo Yong'an laughed loudly and said, "Liniang, I'm here to see you!"

After saying that, under the astonished eyes of Xie Yunlan and Shen Fan, he rushed towards the city wall with determination.

This bulky body displayed an unimaginable speed at this moment, neither Xie Yunlan nor Shen Fan could stop it.

There was a loud "bang", and blood rolled down the corpse, bringing with it ten years of accumulated resentment into the formation on the ground.

"Oops..." Shen Fan murmured.

At the same moment as his words fell, a slender figure suddenly jumped out of a certain waterway in the city. The snake leaped out of the water with a shrill baby cry, and its figure began to change. Next, its size expanded rapidly, scales appeared on its upper body, and its hands and feet became claw-like.

It turned into a huge monster dragon with a length of hundreds of feet, soaring into the sky!

The monster dragon screamed in the night sky, its huge body disturbed the remaining rain clouds, the wind picked up again, and the torrential rain poured down!

Xie Yunlan reached out to wipe the rainwater that fell on his face, but it was red with a fishy smell.

It rains blood!
