Chapter 236 Pawnshop No. 9! Who is Li Mo?(1/2)

On a spring trip, apricot blossoms bloom all over your head.

The sound is the sound of a temple door in the suburbs. The sound is slow and the fragrance rises naturally from the movement of flowers.

Li Mo was standing outside the temple. Across the door, there was incense lingering and swaying through the cracks in the door.

In ancient times, temples were surrounded by mortals, and the doors were opened wide when guests came... But here, the temple doors were tightly closed, as if they were separated from the world.

"Boss Bai, I'm here."

Li Mo knocked on the door knocker again and called softly.

"Come in."

A soft and familiar voice came from inside the temple door. Li Mo was slightly happy, but he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity.

After all, Boss Bai's whereabouts are erratic, and he can only try his luck every time he comes here. It just so happens that Boss Bai happens to be here today.

Li Mo pushed the door open and entered, and saw the hall full of white candles, burning with fire. As the temple door opened, a gust of breeze poured in, causing the candles to tremble, and some candles were extinguished directly.

"Why are you lighting so many candles in broad daylight?"

Li Mo glanced at Boss Bai's back and couldn't help but ask.

"A friend of mine said that all living beings are like candles. When the fire is lit, their destiny begins. Once it is extinguished, it will end..."

Boss Bai murmured softly, facing the candles of different lengths in front of him, some were still burning, and some were extinguished.

The old man will have a long destiny, and the short man will eventually be defeated.

"Boss Bai, which candle is yours?" Li Mo smiled and couldn't help but joke.

Boss Bai was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"I am the one who puts out the candles."

Boss Bai murmured softly, and with a flick of his finger, he extinguished the flame of a candle in front of him. A wisp of green smoke appeared and disappeared at his fingertips.

Li Mo looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Li Mo..."

"What?" Li Mo calmed down and said subconsciously.

"In this world of mortals, one cannot control one's fate. Everyone wants to be the longest candle, with a blazing flame that shines brightly..."

Boss Bai said calmly: "But no matter how long the candle is, it will burn out one day."

Having said this, Boss Bai slowly turned around, a gleam of light flashed in his indifferent eyes, and he looked at Li Mo calmly.

"As long as you are the one who puts out the candles, your life and the lives of others...are your own final say."

Li Mo remained silent, secretly chewing on Boss Bai's words.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he could not help but jump, and saw a touch of bright red on Boss Bai's spotless robe.

"There is blood on you..."

Boss Bai didn't even look at it and said calmly: "Other people's..."

"Other people's!?" Li Moqi said.

"Meet an old friend and have a fight."

As he spoke, Boss Bai turned around and walked towards the old pear wood standing cabinet next to him.

"Li Mo, are you going to the capital?" Boss Bai suddenly said, changing the topic.

"Well, it's only been a few days, so I came over to say hello." Li Mo nodded.

He came here today to say goodbye. Starting from Longyuan Mansion, Boss Bai had taken good care of him, and the two of them had a good friendship.

"I have to leave too." Boss Bai said calmly.

"Go? Where to go?" Li Mo couldn't help but ask.

Although Boss Bai was a serious man, Li Mo had a good impression of him, so he felt a little sad when they parted suddenly and didn't know when they would see each other again.

"Some memories from the past."

Boss Bai's voice was scornful, with his back to Li Mo, he opened the cabinet and seemed to be rummaging for something.

"The moon is cold and the sun is warm, it's all about frying one's life... There are all kinds of sufferings in this world, so what does it mean to be apart for a while? You shouldn't have such emotions."

Boss Bai turned his back to Li Mo. After a short silence, he already understood the turmoil in Li Mo's heart.

"I……"

"The place of the capital, the abode of the true dragon... It is the furnace of heaven and earth. No matter who comes there, they will be roasted and melted... Too many thoughts will be like shackles... Don't be emotional."

Boss Bai talked more than usual today. It seems that the younger generation is traveling far away, and the elders are worried and are talking about instructions. It is difficult to understand the various feelings.

"I've written it down." Li Mo whispered.

In his short eighteen years of life, Boss Bai was another person after Yan Zixia who treated him like an elder. Although he didn't have many words, his love was like strong wine and his taste was long.

"There will always be time to meet."

Suddenly, Boss Bai's voice came to mind again.

Li Mo was stunned and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Just now he advised him not to be emotional, but now he came to comfort him. Boss Bai seemed cold and cold, but he also had a hard mouth and a warm heart.

"We will meet again." Li Mo nodded heavily.

"Take this thing with you."

At this moment, Boss Bai took out an exquisite brocade box from the cabinet, turned around, and handed it to Li Mo.

"What is this?" Li Mo was stunned, never expecting that there was a parting gift.

"Open it and take a look." Boss Bai glanced at the square brocade box with a complicated look on his face.

Li Mo opened the box, and there was a small order inside, only half the size of a palm. The word "Nine" was clearly written on the front. The pen moved like a dragon and snake, winding and twisting, with a rather ancient charm.

The back of this small order is engraved with an animal head, with a strange shape, the eyes are closed, and a thick chain passes through the head.

"What is this small order for?" Li Mo picked it up, and a cold breath came from his fingertips.

"There is a pawnshop in the capital, named No. 9 Pawnshop... That shop is very old, and most people can't find it..."

Boss Bai whispered softly, but his deep eyes fell on the small order in Li Mo's hand.

"Pawn Shop No. 9!?"

"I saved something in that pawn shop back then..."

"What?" Li Mo blurted out curiously.

Boss Bai was silent for a moment, then opened the corners of his lips and spoke quietly.

"A sword!"

"Um!?"

"If you are in the capital... and you are in desperate situation, you can take this small order and go to Pawn Shop No. 9 to take out the sword." Boss Bai said calmly.

"Very valuable!?" Li Mo's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask.

Boss Bai's eyelids were lowered, and his indifferent eyes swept over Li Mo, revealing a different meaning.

Contempt? Yes, it is contempt.

"Don't go to that pawn shop unless you have to, and don't take out the sword...if you really take it out..."

Boss Bai paused slightly, as if he was speaking.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What's wrong?"

"Try not to use your sword in crowded places." Boss Bai thought for a long time and said.

"Why? So valuable?" Li Mo couldn't help but be curious. He understood the principle of keeping wealth secret, but...

"No one will..." Boss Bai replied.

"What do you mean?" Li Mo was slightly stunned, showing doubts, and couldn't help but ask.

"You'll know then."

Boss Bai didn't seem to want to go too deep into this topic. He just asked Li Mo to keep the small order and warned him repeatedly. Unless he was really desperate, don't mess with the pawnshop and don't go get the sword. Remember this.

"Okay." Li Mo nodded heavily, but the curiosity in his heart was already overflowing.

He had already made up his mind that the first thing he did when entering the capital was to go to the No. 9 pawnshop and take out Boss Bai's treasure.

"If you attach such great importance to it, you will definitely be able to buy an apartment in the capital."

Li Mo had already estimated the price of Boss Bai's sword in his mind.

After staying for half a day, Boss Bai had no intention of leaving lunch. Li Mo looked at the sun and stood up to leave.

"Boss Bai, come to the capital to visit me when you have time."

Before leaving, Li Mo invited.
