Patriarch of Wanjiao

In the middle of the night in the capital, it is cold and cool.

The lights of the flower boats by the Gilded River have already been turned off, and the benefactors who spend a lot of money have galloped on the frost-white plains and peaks for countless times.

Vendors on the side of the road also began to clean up the mess and prepare to close their stalls.

Li Mo came out from [Coffin Alley], looked at the little fox squatting on his shoulders, holding its big fleshy tail, blinking his eyes, staring at him innocently...

So cute and charming, there is no shadow of being eloquent and peddling treasures just now.

Li Mo really didn't expect that the additional condition of the redemption was to take this thing away.

I heard from the owner of [No. [-] Pawnshop] that this little fox was also pawned here. If Li Mo brought it, someone would come to him to redeem it in the future.

At that time, he and [No. [-] Pawnshop] will be considered to be truly settled.

"You're so small, you don't have any flesh...you can't taste the hot pot...you don't even have enough children's clothes to make a jacket...how much is it worth?"

Li Mo looked at the little fox on his shoulder, and a word made it tremble in fright.

"You... don't make a wrong idea... I... I can be useful..." the little fox hugged his fleshy tail and said.

"What is the use?"

Li Mo glanced at it, and found that there was still a collar around the little fox's neck, on which hung a delicate gilt round plaque, with a small building engraved on the front, surrounded by clouds and mist, nothing was real, but on the reverse It is a "seven" character.

"You are a pet fox... who pawned you off?" Li Mo couldn't help asking.

"A big, nasty villain."

The little fox was full of resentment, holding his own tail, squatting on Li Mo's shoulder and panting.

Li Mo looked at its appearance, his heart moved, and he suddenly said: "How about... I will give you a life."

As soon as this remark came out, the little fox was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Mo with a little more gratitude.

"You are so kind... Unlike other people who only bully me..." The little fox hugged his tail and lowered his head.

Before it was pawned to [No. [-] Pawn Shop], it suffered a lot. The human beings met hardly had a good thing, either to eat its meat, or to refine its skin... Some even wanted her to become The appearance of a human being...

Only Li Mo, who didn't plan anything, actually wanted to release his life.

This kind of pure-hearted, bright, stalwart, and most loving and holy human being is almost extinct. Not to mention rare in the world, at least there will be no one to come.

"It's better to forget it... If that big villain comes to redeem, you will be gone if I'm not here..." The little fox began to think about Li Mo.

"Huh? Is it so fierce?"

"The most fierce in the world... so fierce to death." The little fox waved his paw, filled with righteous indignation.

While talking, it gave Li Mo a serious look, and repeatedly emphasized: "I'm not joking."

"Okay, then you will follow me from now on."

Li Mo nodded.

"Do you release life often?"

The little fox squatted on Li Mo's shoulder, leaning against his face and asked.

"That's right..."

"Those ghosts you released must be very grateful to you..." The little fox's big eyes were shining.

"It should be..."

Li Mo raised his head subconsciously and looked at the sky.

At this moment, Li Mo saw a small stall on the side of the road and was still stunned. The third watch had passed, and except for the watchman, almost no one would patronize it.

The stall owner seemed to be packing up and preparing to close the stall.

"Boss, what's left?"

Li Mo walked over and sat down.

For such a small stall, as long as there are customers coming to the door, no matter how late it is, it must do business, otherwise the mood will be bad, and the future financial resources will be cut off.

"Guest officer, it's unfortunate that you came here, there are only two pancakes left...and some pork head meat..."

The boss looked at the food bar and said with a smile.

Today's business is good, and at this hour of the week, no matter what, I can make a bowl of stewed fire.

"Give it all to me."

Li Mo sat down.

"okay……"

The boss greeted him warmly, and after a while, he brought a plate and put it on the table.

Two hot biscuits were cut from the middle, and the fat and lean pig's head meat was shiny, just enough to be stuffed into the biscuits and eaten immediately.

"Guest officer, this bowl of soup is for free."

The boss turned around and brought a bowl of broth.

The broth of this kind of stall is made from the cheapest stick bones, no meat is visible, it is fragrant and pure white, with oily flowers, and some chopped green onions are sprinkled on it, but it tastes extremely delicious.

Some coolies can't eat meat, so they come to a bowl of soup, and a big son is enough.

Today is approaching closing time, Li Mo should be regarded as the last customer, but the boss is rare and generous.

"Thanks."

Li Mo grabbed the sesame seed cakes and ate the pork head meat. His mouth was full of oil, and then he had a mouthful of broth. The taste was like the biggest mouth full in the middle of the night.

The little fox squatted on Li Mo's shoulder, his eyes stared straight, he couldn't help swallowing, and the glutton in his stomach groaned eagerly.

"hungry?"

Li Mo glanced at it, and the little fox blinked and nodded aggrievedly.

"Give this to you."

While talking, Li Mo pushed the remaining biscuits and pork head aside.

The little fox jumped onto the table and followed Li Mo's example, stuffing the pig's head meat into the biscuits, and opened his mouth to gnaw.

The boss who watched this scene from afar was stunned, his face trembling uncontrollably, he clasped his hands together and called him a fox fairy.

"Good time..."

Li Mo and the little fox drank a bowl of soup together... The little fox ate, and looked up at Li Mo from time to time. Compared with just now, his eyes were much more familiar and intimate.

After eating and drinking, Li Mo wiped his mouth, and put the wooden box he just redeemed from [No. [-] Pawn Shop] on the table.

He was extremely curious about the treasure left by Boss Bai, and he couldn't wait to go back.

Li Mo took out the small token, pressed it into the groove, and turned it gently, the sound of the machine running "cluck", followed by a clear sound suddenly sounded in the quiet street, as if the mechanism was opened.

The wooden box was opened, revealing the white moonlight, Li Mo took a closer look, but was stunned.

It turned out to be a scroll.

"What thing? This is the treasure left by Boss Bai? Can this thing save your life?"

Li Mo sat there in a daze, his expression became strange.

Suspiciously, he picked up the scroll and unfolded it slowly, outlining the blue sky with one stroke, and the sky was full of immortals.

On the scroll, there is a lot of blank space... A few strokes of brush and ink outline a piece of blue sky, boundless, with only one ancient sword hanging down in the center.

Apart from this sword, there is nothing in the blue sky, the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars... all seem to have disappeared.

A majestic and majestic atmosphere rushed towards the face, in a trance, there seemed to be shadows around the ancient sword. From ancient times to the present, everything has been extinguished, and I will see you later, but I am at a loss. How can there be sun, moon, starlight, and all living beings... There is nothing in this floating world.

In the eternal blue sky, only this green front hangs alone! ! !
"This is a big joke..." Li Mo was dumbfounded.

Although he saw that this painting was extraordinary and the artistic conception was grand, it would definitely be sold abroad, but it was far from the treasure he had imagined.

Holding the scroll, Li Mo looked left and right, up and down, but he didn't see the flowers anymore.

"Boss Bai...you are still the same as before..." Li Mo curled his lips, really not knowing what to say.

Perhaps, his expectations were too high, and his daydreams about Boss Bai were too high... The other party was not a hidden expert, nor was he an invisible big shot.

Perhaps this scroll scroll is just a parting gift from an acquaintance.

"Forget it... Anyway, it's Boss Bai's wish..."

Li Mo looked at it, took a deep breath, looked at the picture scroll in his hand, and the figure of Boss Bai appeared in his mind, and his lost mood eased a lot.

All in all, he met Boss Bai once, from Longyuan Mansion to Wangxuan City, the other party really helped him a lot, he can be regarded as both a teacher and a friend.

Now, he is traveling alone, and he doesn't know if he will see him again in this life.

This scroll scroll is probably the last thought left by him.

Thinking of this, Li Mo carefully put away the painting, and put it in the wooden box with great care.

"Little brother... can I see this painting?"

At this moment, a deep voice came from behind.

Li Mo turned around and saw a man in green clothes approaching from not far away. Under the moonlight, his eyes were exceptionally bright, and the vicissitudes of life were full of innocence and clarity.

"Who are you?"

Li Mo shook his head, and directly covered the wooden box. After all, this was a thought left to him by Boss Bai. How could he allow a stranger to watch at will.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi was not annoyed, instead he walked towards him and sat opposite Li Mo.

"Huh!?" Li Mo glanced and said lightly.

"Uncle, there is no food left..."

"It's so abrupt... The painting in my little brother's hand reminds me of an old friend... After all, we haven't seen each other for 18 years..."

The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi murmured, but his eyes were as condensed as a thread, and he never moved away from the wooden box in Li Mo's hand.

"Old friend? Your old friend is a painter?" Li Mo asked subconsciously.

"That's right." The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi said calmly.

"Then you go back and look at his masterpieces... Since we are old friends, there must be one or two..." Li Mo put the wooden box to his side.

He always felt that the uncle in Tsing Yi in front of him was not a good person.

"Little brother is not from the capital..."

The uncle in Tsing Yi changed the subject, and slowly pulled his eyes away from the wooden box.

"Well, from out of town."

"Where? When I was young, I traveled all over the world. I traveled all over the world. Maybe I even went to your hometown..."

The uncle in Tsing Yi seemed to have no sense of boundaries, and he started chatting on his own.

"Longyuan Mansion... quite far away..." Li Mo said casually.

"It's a good place... I remember there is a Luofu Mountain there, and I went there to offer incense when I was young." The uncle in Tsing Yi smiled lightly.

"Um!?"

Li Mo couldn't help raising his head, and looked at the uncle in Tsing Yi in front of him again. He saw that the material of his clothes was quite particular, and under the moonlight, there was a faint scaled light, obviously from some background.

At this time, ordinary people with status rarely wandered on the street, let alone patronized such stalls.

"Uncle, do you know me?" Li Mo asked in a deep voice.

"It's just a chance encounter, it's fate..." Uncle Tsing Yi said indifferently: "Little brother is a disciple of Luofu Mountain?"

"You just know me." Li Mo said vigilantly.

"It really is destined." Uncle Tsing Yi couldn't help sighing.

"..."

"I wandered away from Longyuan Mansion in the early years... At that time, there was a Yin mountain, and there was a little monster in it, neither male nor female... I don't know if he is still alive?" Uncle Tsing Yi changed the topic and asked again.

"Yinshan ghost grandma? A little monster?"

Li Mo took a deep look at the other party, and said lightly: "Dead."

"I'd say she won't live for 18 years." Uncle Tsing Yi grinned.

"Year 18?"

The uncle in Tsing Yi nodded, his eyes lowered subconsciously.

"I wandered away from Longyuan in the early years... It has been 18 years... How old was my little brother at that time?"

"..."

Li Mo pondered for a while: "I should have just been born, still in my infancy, and taken in by the mountain gate."

"Entering the mountain gate in such a pee...you must have suffered a lot."

The uncle in Tsing Yi spoke softly, not like asking, but rather like sighing.

"Huh? Uncle, are you alright?" Li Mo raised his hand, waved it in front of Uncle Tsing Yi's eyes, and brought him back from his thoughts.

"It's okay... just remembering some past events."

While talking, the uncle in Tsing Yi slowly got up and put down a piece of silver on the table.

Li Mo glanced at it, and there were 20 taels, which was enough to buy this stall.

"Little brother, you and I are destined, so I invite you this time."

As he spoke, the uncle in Tsing Yi took a step and walked away. He had just taken two steps when he turned around.

"That painting... yes, put it away, don't let others see it again."

After the words fell, the uncle in Tsing Yi turned and left, gradually disappearing in the cold street.

"What a freak."

Li Mo looked at the direction the other party was going away, and was really speechless.

He discovered that there are so many weird people in the capital.

Immediately, Li Mo got up, picked up the silver on the table, and put it into his arms.

"Boss, check out."

Li Mo yelled, dropped thirty Wen, and wanted to leave.

"Where are we going now!?"

The little fox obediently jumped onto Li Mo's shoulder and asked while hugging its fleshy tail.

"go home."

"Where is home!?" The little fox's eyes lit up, with a little expectation.

"A very good place to live..." Li Mo thought for a while.

"How good is it?" The little fox's look of anticipation became more and more intense, and it had been nested in the No. [-] pawn shop for too long.

"Private territory, huge greenery, with room for appreciation..."

Li Mo grinned, using Chen Wangdu's words to prevaricate him, satisfying the little fox's expectations and fantasies.

Just as he wanted to continue to deepen his figure, on the cold street, a long and narrow shadow pressed head-on.

Under the moonlight, the faint sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, blocking their way.

"Brother Li Dao... really interested."

The person who came spoke softly, revealing a three-point familiarity, as if an old friend was saying goodbye, telling his heartfelt words.

"It's you!?" Li Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was slightly stunned when he saw the face of the person coming.

He did not expect that tonight, in the capital, he would meet this man.

"Looking farewell to Xuancheng, Brother Dao is safe and sound."

Under the moonlit night, Jiang Chen came towards the wind, clasped his fists in his hands, as if he had been a long-distance friend and reunited after a long absence.

Thank you Chen Moyi for your reward! ! !
