Chapter 3 The Third Killing Golden Ring

The scenery outside the door is picturesque. The dark brown road winds and stretches from here, passing through the green woods, along the blue lake, and stretching towards the downtown. In the gloomy sky, the distant mountains look more beautiful and mysterious as if in the fog. It's not far from the town, but the lake and the green forest seem to have separated the mortal world from the distant mountains. Bai Yujing took a long breath, the air was moist and sweet, he couldn't help sighing, and said, "I like this place." Fang Longxiang said: "Many people like this place."

Bai Yujing said: "There are living people and there are dead people." Fang Longxiang said: "The dead are usually not welcome here." Bai Yujing said, "Why is it an exception today?" Fang Longxiang said: "No matter who, as long as it is a guest who lives here, no matter what the guest wants to do, they can't object." Bai Yujing said: "What if you want to kill someone?" Fang Longxiang smiled and said: "Then it depends on who wants to kill and who it is." Bai Yujing said coldly: "This is really what a standard businessman would say."

Fang Longxiang said: "I was originally a businessman." Bai Yujing took a few steps forward, then came back, and said, "I don't think they intend to let me go. No one wants to stop me when I step out." Fang Longxiang said: "Yes." Bai Yujing said again: "Maybe, they didn't come here for me." Fang Longxiang said: "Maybe." Bai Yujing suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This time is your luck." Fang Longxiang said: "What luck?" Bai Yujing said: "This time, you don't have to be afraid of being poor by me. I'll leave tomorrow morning."

Fang Longxiang said: "Tonight you..." Bai Yujing said: "Tonight I still want to drink the daughter's red hidden in your cabinet." Fang Longxiang's face suddenly became a little melancholy. Looking at the gloomy distant mountains, he said slowly: "Tonight must be very long." Bai Yujing said, "Oh." Fang Longxiang said: "Such a long night is enough for many things to happen." Bai Yujing said, "Oh." Fang Longxiang said: "It is enough to kill many people." Bai Yujing said, "Oh." Fang Longxiang suddenly turned his head, stared at him, and said, "Do you have to wait for that person to come before you are willing to leave?"

Bai Yujing said: "Who is that person?" Fang Longxiang said: "The Azure Dragon Society is also waiting for someone." Bai Yujing smiled, but there was a very strange expression in his eyes. After a long time, he slowly said: "To be honest, I do gradually find this person very interesting." Fang Longxiang said: "But you don't even know what kind of person he is." Bai Yujing said: "It's more interesting because I don't know." Fang Longxiang said: "As long as it's something interesting, you must do it?" Bai Yujing said: "Usually they are."

Fang Longxiang said: "Has anyone ever made you change your mind?" Bai Yujing said: "No." Fang Longxiang sighed, and said: "Okay, I'll go get the wine, and bring your drunk woman down to drink." Bai Yujing said: "I have to change into a new set of clothes." Fang Longxiang said: "Now?" Bai Yujing said: "When drinking good wine, I always like to wear new clothes." Fang Longxiang's eyes flickered, and he said, "Do you also like to change into new clothes when killing people?" Bai Yujing smiled, and said lightly: "Then it depends on who I want to kill."

Yuan Zixia sat on the bed, hugged the quilt, and said, "Why don't we bring the wine and drink it in the room?" Bai Yujing smiled and said: "There is a place for drinking. If the place is not right, good wine will also become weak." Yuan Zixia said: "What's wrong with this place?" Bai Yujing said: "This is a place to sleep." Yuan Zixia said: "But... there must be a lot of people downstairs, and I don't have new clothes to change, how can I go downstairs?" Bai Yujing said: "I am your new clothes." Yuan Zixia said: "You?"

Bai Yujing said: "With me, you don't need to wear new clothes, and others will also look at you." Yuan Zixia smiled, and said sweetly: "Did you always think that you are great?" Bai Yujing said: "Usually they are." Yuan Zixia said: "Have you ever blushed?" Bai Yujing said: "No." He suddenly turned around and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs." Yuan Zixia said: "Why?" Bai Yujing said: "Because I'm already blushing now, and I always don't want to be seen when I blush." Yuan Zixia opened the suitcase she carried with her and took out a suit of clothes.

Although the clothes are not brand new, they are as gorgeous as colorful clouds.She likes brightly colored clothes and people who are brightly colored. Bai Yujing seems to be this kind of person. He is proud, self-willed, sometimes impulsive like a child, sometimes deep like a fox. She knew that this kind of man was not easy to deal with, and it was really not easy for a woman to capture him. But she was determined to try. The place to eat here is not big, but it is exquisite. The table was of mahogany and inlaid with dolomite.Appropriate calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall, and freshly bloomed flowers are placed on the shelves. Once people walk in, they will feel that it is an honor to eat in this kind of place, so even if the price is more expensive than other places, no one cares up.

The three members of the Azure Dragon Society occupied the table closest to the door, and their eyes were still fixed on the door. They were obviously still waiting. First Young Master Zhu's table was near the window, and he had already started to eat and drink, but the man in black was still standing behind him like a shadow. "This guest officer doesn't want to eat?" "He can wait until I'm done eating." Let people walk in front, and wait for people to finish eating before eating. This is a fate chosen by a certain person. The Buddhist rituals were finished, and the two monks were eating here too. The lights shone on their heads like gourds.

They look like they just shaved their heads. The old lady's cry could be faintly heard in the wind.Who is dead?Why is she crying so sadly? Whoever broke the goldfish bowl has yet to show up.Why has he been hiding in the house and dare not see anyone? The tea is good and the wine is good too. Bai Yujing changed into a new royal blue dress, drank a few glasses of wine, and seemed to have forgotten all the unpleasant things. Fang Longxiang looked a little listless, he drank very little and didn't eat much food. Yuan Zixia said sweetly: "When you eat, why are you more delicate than a little girl?" Fang Longxiang said with a wry smile: "Because I eat my own food, it's inevitable that I feel a little distressed." Bai Yujing said: "I don't feel bad." He suddenly beckoned a waiter to come over, and said: "Send me some of the best food and wine to the alley behind, and give them to an official who wears a red tasseled cap and a lotus root powder seller." Fang Longxiang said coldly: "Is there another one wearing a felt hat?" Bai Yujing said: "It is said that they can find something to eat anytime and anywhere. For example, centipedes, geckos, and small snakes." Yuan Zixia's face suddenly turned pale, as if she couldn't help but want to vomit. Everyone in the room seemed to be secretly watching her, even the two monks. Their mouths are vegetarian, but their eyes are not. Hearing the sound of hoofbeats suddenly, the healthy horse neighed and stopped outside the door. The three members of the Azure Dragon Society immediately flew up, with joy on their faces. The person they were waiting for finally came. Fang Longxiang glanced at Bai Yujing, raised his glass, and said, "I toast you." Bai Yujing said: "Why do you suddenly respect me?" Fang Longxiang sighed, and said, "I'm afraid I won't have a chance if I don't respect you again." Bai Yujing smiled and said: "You might as well see who is here first, and it's not too late to respect me." Needless to say, everyone's eyes were on the door. The healthy horse neighed endlessly, and someone hurried in. A strong man in green clothes, sweating profusely, strode in. When the three members of the Azure Dragon Society saw him, they showed disappointment on their faces, and two of them had already sat down. The person who came was obviously not the one they were waiting for. I saw a person greet him, frowning and said: "Why..." Others could only hear these three words, and his voice suddenly became low as a whisper. The person who just came in had a lower voice, said a few words, and left in a hurry. The three members of the Azure Dragon Society glanced at each other, sat down and started drinking again, but the restlessness on their faces was no longer visible. Although the person they were waiting for did not come, it was obvious that there was news. What's the news? Young Master Zhu frowned.The restlessness of others seems to have reached his face now. The two monks stood up at the same time, and said together: "The account of the poor monk, please record it in the account of Mrs. Guo." The monks only eat the Quartet, of course they don't take out anything. But for some reason, Bai Yujing always felt that these two monks didn't look like monks. With a thoughtful expression in his eyes, he watched them go out, and suddenly smiled and said: "I heard that you were born with eyes that are sharper than a fox. I want to test you." Fang Longxiang asked, "What is the test?" Bai Yujing said: "Two things." Fang Longxiang sighed and said, "Let's take the test." Bai Yujing said: "Look at the two monks just now, what's missing?" Yuan Zixia was wondering: these two monks have all five senses, and they are not disabled, how could they be missing something? Fang Longxiang didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Jie Scar." Yuan Zixia couldn't help sighing: "Your eyes are really sharp, it seems that they really don't have ring scars on their heads." Bai Yujing said: "Not even one." Yuan Zixia said: "They... aren't they real monks?" Bai Yujing smiled and said, "True is false, false is true, true is false, why should you be serious?" Yuan Zixia pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "When did you become a monk? Why are you so aggressive?" Fang Longxiang said: "Not only is he good at fighting like a monk, but he also knows how to eat for nothing." He didn't let Bai Yujing speak, and said again: "You have already passed one test, what else is there?" Bai Yujing lowered his voice and said, "Do you know who the people from the Azure Dragon Society are waiting for?" Fang Longxiang shook his head. Bai Yujing said: "They are waiting for Wei Tianying!" Fang Longxiang immediately frowned and said, "Wei Tianying? 'Magic Saber' Wei Tianying?" Bai Yujing nodded. Fang Longxiang said movedly: "Couldn't this person have been forced by his enemies to go to Dongying Fusang?" Bai Yujing said: "Fusang is not hell, you can come back after you go." Fang Longxiang frowned even tighter, and said: "It is said that this man not only has terrible sword skills, but also learned the 'ninjutsu' of Fusang. Since he has joined the Azure Dragon Club, he must be one of the legendary 'Twelve Demons of the Azure Dragon' .” Bai Yujing said lightly, "It must be." Yuan Zixia stared and said, "What is ninjutsu?" Bai Yujing said: "Ninjutsu is a kind of martial arts that specifically teaches you how to sneak up and hurt people. You'd better not listen." Yuan Zixia said: "But I want to hear it." Bai Yujing said: "If I want to hear it, I can't say it." Yuan Zixia said: "Why?" Bai Yujing said: "Because I don't understand either." In fact, of course he didn't really understand. Ninjutsu was passed down from Immortal Kume, and when it came to the Tokugawa shogunate, it was carried forward by the contemporary celebrities "Sarutobi Sasuke" and "Kigakure Saizo", and dominated Fuso martial arts. Although this kind of martial arts legend is mysterious, it is actually just a transformation of these martial arts such as lightness kungfu, disguise, qigong, and diving.What is more special is that they can use all kinds of beasts and utensils in the sky and on the ground to avoid the enemy's tracking, and they are divided into seven factions. Iga, Koga, Akutagawa, Nelai, Naguro, Takeda, Akiba. Koga is good at using cats, and Iga is good at using mice. Although Bai Yujing understood these things, he didn't bother to talk about them, because it was too much trouble to talk about them. If you want to explain a troublesome matter to a woman, you are either too patient or too stupid. Fang Longxiang pondered, and suddenly asked: "How do you know that they are waiting for Wei Tianying?" Bai Yujing said: "They said it themselves just now." Fang Longxiang said: "Can you hear what they said?" Bai Yujing said: "I can't hear it, but I can see it." Yuan Zixia didn't understand again, and couldn't help asking: "Can you see even when you talk? How do you see it?" Bai Yujing said: "Look at their lips." Yuan Zixia sighed, and said, "You are such a scary person, it seems that nothing can be hidden from you." Bai Yujing said: "Are you afraid of me?" Yuan Zixia said: "Yes." Bai Yujing said: "You are afraid of me, so should you listen to me?" Yuan Zixia smiled, this was exactly what she had asked Bai Yujing.She smiled softly and said, "You are really not a good person." First Young Master Zhu had swaggered away. "You eat here, and go back immediately after eating." The man in black hurriedly picked up a bowl of rice, and really wanted to rush back. Bai Yujing suddenly said: "My friend, wait a minute!" The man in black stopped, but didn't look back. Bai Yujing smiled and said, "The wine here is good, why don't you come and have three glasses together?" The man in black finally turned around slowly. Although his face was still expressionless, the sadness in his eyes was deeper. His fists were already clenched, and he said word by word: "I really want to drink too, but it's a pity that there are still eight people in my family who want to eat." Although this is a very simple sentence, there is a kind of indescribable pain in it. Bai Yujing said: "Are you afraid that Young Master Zhu will tell you to go?" The man in black gave a simpler answer: "I'm afraid." Bai Yujing said: "You don't want to do other things?" The man in black said: "I only know martial arts. I used to be in the arena too, but now..." He lowered his head and said sadly: "Although I am old, I still don't want to die, and I can't die." Bai Yujing said: "That's why you followed First Young Master Zhu?" The man in black said: "Yes." Bai Yujing said: "You followed him not to protect him, but to let him protect you!" His words were as sharp as his eyes. The man in black seemed to have been slapped in the face suddenly, staggered back, turned around and rushed out. Yuan Zixia bit her lip and said, "You...why do you have to hurt someone's heart like this?" Bai Yujing's eyes also showed grief, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Because I'm not a good person..." No one could hear what he said, because at this moment, there was a scream in the quiet night. A blood-curdling scream. The voice seemed to come from outside the gate.Fang Longxiang dashed out, swung the iron hook sharply, and smashed the window with a "bang". The light on the gate illuminated the empty courtyard desertedly, and the coffin had already been carried into the house. There was no one in the yard at first, but at this moment, a man rushed in from the gate like crazy. a monk. The deserted light shone on his bald head without ring scars. There is no ring scar, but there is blood! The blood was still flowing out, through his forehead, through his eyes, and into the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.Seen under the night light, this face is really indescribably mysterious and terrifying. He rushed into the yard, saw Fang Longxiang at the window, staggered towards him, and pointed out the gate, as if he wanted to say something. His eyes were full of fear, grief and anger, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, as if an invisible hand was pulling the corners of his mouth forcefully. Fang Longxiang swept out of the window, and said in a deep voice, "Who is it? Who did it?" The monk's throat rattled and hissed, "Qing...Qing...Qing..." Fang Longxiang said: "What is green?" Before the monk could utter the second word, his limbs suddenly convulsed, he jumped half a foot, and fell to the ground. Fang Longxiang frowned, and murmured: "What's green?... Qinglong?" He turned his head slowly, and the three members of the Azure Dragon Society stood under the eaves, looking surprised. The blood slowly flowed down from the top of the head, and gradually solidified, revealing a little golden light. Fang Longxiang squatted down immediately, and put his head to the side illuminated by the light. Immediately he saw a golden ring. The gold ring with a diameter of seven inches has been completely embedded in the skull, leaving only a little edge. Fang Longxiang finally understood why the monk was so crazy and terrified just now. A gold ring with a diameter of seven inches, no matter if it is embedded in anyone's skull, that person will immediately become crazy. Bai Yujing frowned and said, "Golden Ring from the Red Hair Gang?" Fang Longxiang nodded, stood up, stared at the third door opposite, and muttered to himself: "Why did he kill this monk?" "Why don't you ask him?" The person who spoke was Young Master Zhu. He was obviously alarmed by the screams, and hurried out. He was standing under the lamp with his hands behind his back. The man in black stuck behind him like a shadow. Fang Longxiang looked at him, and said calmly: "When did Wan Jintang form a deep hatred with the Chifa gang?" Young Master Zhu said: "Deep hatred? Who said that Wan Jintang has hatred against those red-haired monsters?" Fang Longxiang asked, "How did the goldfish bowl break?" First Young Master Zhu smiled and said, "Maybe they have a grudge against Jinyu...why don't you ask him?" Fang Longxiang said: "You want me to ask him?" Young Master Zhu said: "Whatever you want." Fang Longxiang suddenly sneered and walked over suddenly. The third door was always closed, but at some point a light came on. Fang Longxiang didn't knock on the door, and the door opened. Standing alone at the door, the two gold rings on the ears "ding-ding" in the wind, and there seemed to be flames burning in the eyes. Fang Longxiang looked at the golden ring on his ear, and said, "Master Miao?" Miao Shaotian said with a sullen face, "Boss Fang really has good eyesight." Fang Longxiang said: "Just now..." Miao Shaotian said: "I was eating just now. I never kill people when I eat." Sure enough, there was a gold plate on the table, and there was half a snake with its skin peeled off on the plate. The corner of Miao Shaotian's mouth seemed to still be stained with blood. Fang Longxiang suddenly felt his stomach constrict, as if being entangled by a poisonous snake. Miao Shaotian glanced at First Young Master Zhu in the courtyard out of the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "Don't forget that anyone who has gold can hit a gold ring; anyone who has hands can use a gold ring to kill." Fang Longxiang nodded, he could no longer speak. He was afraid of throwing up. In the next room, the old lady's miserable cry could be heard faintly. Miao Shaotian closed the door with a "bang", and continued to enjoy his sumptuous dinner. The three members of the Azure Dragon Society have retreated. Yuan Zixia held Bai Yujing's hand tightly, as if afraid that he would slip away suddenly. The monk's body was stiff. Fang Longxiang walked over with a frown and said, "Who killed him? Why did you kill him?" Bai Yujing said: "Because he is a fake monk." Fang Longxiang said: "Fake monk?...Why would someone kill the fake monk?" No one can answer this sentence. Fang Longxiang sighed, smiled wryly and said, "If I counted well, there must be a dead monk outside." Bai Yujing said: "Dead fake monk." Yuan Zixia held Bai Yujing's hand tightly and walked up the small building. Her hands are cold. Bai Yujing said: "Are you cold?" Yuan Zixia said: "It's not cold, it's fear. How come there are so many scary people in this place all of a sudden?" Bai Yujing smiled and said, "Maybe they all came here for you." Yuan Zixia turned even paler, and said, "For me?" Bai Yujing said: "The scarier a person is, the more he likes a good-looking woman." Yuan Zixia smiled, showing off her face and said: "What about you? Aren't you also a terrible person?" Bai Yujing said: "I..." He suddenly found that the door of Yuan Zixia's room was open.He remembered closing the door and leaving a light on when they came downstairs. Now the lights are still on, but the room is already in chaos, as if seven or eight urchins had just fought here. The suitcase that Yuan Zixia was carrying was also turned into a mess.Some things that women should not let men see are scattered all over the place. Yuan Zixia was ashamed, anxious, and frightened, and she lost her voice: "There are... there are thieves." Bai Yujing's hand pushed open the window next door, making his room even more chaotic. Yuan Zixia didn't let him look at it any more, she dragged him into her room, first hid some things that men shouldn't look at under the quilt, even the roots of her ears were red. Bai Yujing said: "Is there anything missing?" Yuan Zixia blushed and said, "I...I have nothing for thieves to steal." Bai Yujing sneered and said, "The one who came may not be a thief." Yuan Zixia said: "It's not a thief, why would you break into other people's houses and rummage through things?" Bai Yujing said: "It seems that they really came to look for me." Yuan Zixia said: "Looking for you? Who? Why are you looking for you?" Bai Yujing didn't answer, but walked over and pushed open the rear window. There was no one in the gloomy alley. The beggars, lotus root noodles sellers, and official messengers wearing red tasseled hats all disappeared. Bai Yujing said, "I'll go out and have a look." As soon as he turned around, Yuan Zixia rushed over and grabbed his hand, saying: "You...you must not leave, I...I...I will never dare to stay in this room alone." Bai Yujing sighed and said, "But I..." Yuan Zixia said: "Please, please, I'm really scared to death now." Her face was as pale as paper, and her full, solid chest heaved and rose. Bai Yujing looked at her, his eyes gradually softened, and said, "Now are you really scared to death?" Yuan Zixia said: "Yes." Bai Yujing said: "Just now?" Yuan Zixia lowered her head and said, "Just now... just now I was a little bit pretending." Bai Yujing said, "Why are you pretending?" Yuan Zixia said: "Because I..." Her pale face turned red again, and she suddenly thumped his chest hard, saying: "Why do you have to force him to speak out? You are really not a good person." Bai Yujing said: "Since I'm not a good person, how dare you let me stay in the house?" Yuan Zixia blushed even more, and said: "I... I can let you sleep on the bed, I will sleep on the floor." Bai Yujing said: "How can I have the heart to let you sleep on the ground?" Yuan Zixia bit her lip and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to stay, it doesn't matter anything." Bai Yujing said: "You still sleep on the bed." Yuan Zixia said: "No..." Yuan Zixia was sleeping on the bed. Bai Yujing was also sleeping on the bed. They were all lying on the bed with their shoes off—only the shoes, but the rest of their clothes were still fully dressed. Both of them opened their eyes wide, looking at the roof. After a long time, Yuan Zixia sighed softly and said, "I really never thought you were such a person." Bai Yujing said: "I didn't think of it either." Yuan Zixia said: "Are you...are you afraid that someone will break in?" Bai Yujing said: "Not exactly." Yuan Zixia said: "Not exactly?" Bai Yujing said: "Although I am not a gentleman, I am not a villain who takes advantage of others." He stretched out his hand, caressed her hand, and said softly: "Maybe it is because I like you that I don't want to take advantage of your fear." It’s time to bully you, not to mention, this situation was caused by me.” Yuan Zixia stared and said, "Did you ask those people to scare me on purpose?" Bai Yujing smiled wryly and said, "That's not true, but they did come to look for me." Yuan Zixia said: "Why did you come to see you?" Bai Yujing said: "Because I have something in me, which is what they really want." Yuan Zixia's eyes moved, and she said, "Do you think that I came to you because I want something like you?" Bai Yujing said, "I've never thought about it that way." Yuan Zixia said: "What if I do the same?" Bai Yujing said: "Then I will give it to you." Yuan Zixia said: "Give me that thing?" Bai Yujing said: "Yes." Yuan Zixia said: "Since that thing is so precious, why are you willing to give it to me casually?" Bai Yujing said: "No matter what it is, as long as you ask, I will give it to you immediately." Yuan Zixia said: "Really?" Bai Yujing said: "I'll give it to you now." He really has reached out to his arms. Yuan Zixia suddenly turned over and hugged him tightly. She was full of emotion, and said softly, "I don't want anything, I just want you to be with me..." Her voice was choked up, tears streaming down suddenly. Bai Yujing said: "Are you crying?" Yuan Zixia nodded and said, "Because I'm so happy." She wiped away the tears from her own face on Bai Yujing's face, and said, "But I have something to tell you first." Bai Yujing said: "Speak, I'll listen." Yuan Zixia said: "I ran away from home secretly, because my mother wanted to force me to marry a rich old man." This is a very ordinary and vulgar story. But in this kind of story, I don't know how many people's bitter tears are contained. As long as there are greedy mothers and lecherous old men in the world, these kinds of stories will always continue to happen. Yuan Zixia said: "When I ran out, I only had a little jewelry on me, but now it's almost sold out." Bai Yujing was listening. Yuan Zixia said: "I don't have the ability to make money myself, so...so I want to find a man." When a woman can't survive, she usually wants to find a man. This is something that will never change. Yuan Zixia said: "When I found you, it wasn't because I liked you, it was just because I thought you were capable and would definitely be able to support me." Bai Yujing was smiling, wryly. Yuan Zixia sighed softly and said, "But it's different now." Bai Yujing said, "What's the difference?" His voice was still a little bitter. Yuan Zixia said softly: "Now I know that I will never find a better man than you. It is my luck that I can find you. I...I am so happy." She shed tears again, hugged him tightly, and said: "As long as you want me, I will give you everything, and I will never leave you for the rest of my life..." Bai Yujing couldn't help but hugged her tightly, and said softly, "I want you. How could I not want you?" Yuan Zixia smiled through tears and said, "Are you willing to take me away?" Bai Yujing said: "From now on, no matter where I go, I will definitely take you there." Yuan Zixia said: "Really?" She didn't let Bai Yujing speak, covered his mouth again, and said, "I know you're serious. I just beg you not to vomit with those people anymore. We can ignore them and go away secretly." Bai Yujing kissed the tears on her face lightly, and said, "I promise you, I will never vomit with them again." Yuan Zixia said: "Shall we leave now?" Bai Yujing sighed: "I'm afraid they won't let us go now. As long as I wait until tomorrow morning, I will find a way to take you away. No one will trouble us again in the future." Yuan Zixia smiled sweetly, her eyes were full of joy and longing for future happiness. She had finally got what she wanted. Don't beautiful women always get what they want?
