Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

"Master, that's how things are. As of yesterday, all the military installations located in Tanstin Star and the near-air space have completed the handover. Basically, I have nothing to do, so I'm back."

Lin Shu nodded, covered the boxes of seeds that Lan Yi had given him in front of him, and then looked at Lan Yi.

"Okay, Xiaolan, you have done a good job. The task has been successfully completed. What reward do you want?"

"Reward? Is everything okay?"

"Hehe, of course not everything is fine, as long as it is suitable, how about a magic weapon I made myself?"

Lan Yi blinked her eyes: "The Qiankun ring is also okay?"

"Uh, there are some problems with this, because the Qiankun ring is the standard configuration of Taoist disciples, and other than that, it will only be sold to a certain number of members of the Magic Research Association."

Lan Yi blinked her eyes: "Am I not a Taoist disciple?"

Fang Shi looked at Lan Yi in surprise: "Are you serious? Didn't you always want to be free and return to Servis?"

Lan Yi smiled and shook her head: "Master, people's hearts can change, and women are especially fickle. I don't want to go back now. I don't have to worry about eating and drinking by Master's side, and I don't have to risk my life to gain a future. People plan to send them to die, why should they go back and feel uncomfortable.”

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It turns out that you are playing a small temper, who plotted against you?"

"I said you don't know me, I didn't know before, but this time when I returned to Serves, I found out that I was calculated by someone. If the master hadn't saved my life in the subspace at that time, I am afraid there would be no such thing in this world. This is Lan Yi."

"I see. Destiny is really amazing." Lin Shu squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.Lan Yi saw that Lin Shu didn't respond.He walked to the side and began to make tea skillfully, Lin Shu couldn't help laughing when he saw it, it seemed that Lan Yi really wanted to stay by his side.

"Xiaolan, your personality changes too quickly!"

"No, my previous personality was not a personality at all. It was just a way of living. I thought it was the only way of living. I didn't even think about whether I liked it. This may have something to do with the education I received since I was a child, and the way I lived around me. The environment has something to do with it, until I find out that those values ​​​​are actually not my own..."

"Discovered? When did you discover it?"

Lan Yi blushed, and looked at Lin Shu resentfully. Fortunately, there was no one else here, and Ao Yun and Susanna went to the kitchen.

"Master, do you really like to expose my shortcomings? You know exactly when my values ​​collapsed."

"Hehe...don't mind, just kidding."

Lan Yi played with the tea set silently, the tea she prepared was bought in Tanstin City this time.She still likes this kind of tea with a long fragrance.

"Master, you broke my values. I can't be without values. However, when I reconsidered my values, I realized that my previous values ​​were not my own at all. It can be said that they were imposed on me by others." Yes, after careful reflection, I realized that in the first 300 years of my life, only my childhood life was happy, and the time with my family was the only time worth remembering. Others... are just living without In the days of thinking, I don't feel happy at all, or in other words, it seems to be immersed in a kind of false happiness and pursuit."

Lin Shu nodded and said: "Oh, I understand. Many people have not carefully considered whether their values ​​are suitable for them. From the perspective of soul growth, it means that the foundation of the soul has not been laid well. If the foundation is not well established Well, the growth of the soul will not be good, and there will even be problems in the end, and the later the problem is discovered, the worse things will be. If it is an ordinary person, it will be fine. Before the day when the problem occurs, life has almost come to an end , Everything can start all over again, but as a monk, the long life process will continuously magnify and accumulate the problems of the soul, and then lead to catastrophe."

Lan Yi nodded naturally, then suddenly thought of something, stared at Lin Shu in a daze, her eyes exuded a strange brilliance.

"Master... when did you find out that there is something wrong with my soul?"

"Oh, while the Warp was talking to you."

"Did you plan to capture me as a slave at that time?"

Lin Shu smiled: "What are you thinking? Of course not, but at least it was an opportunity. It is undeniable that our fate started from there."

Lan Yi smiled contentedly, she understood that Lin Shu might not have decided what to do at that time, but when she arrived at Cangling Star with Lin Shu, Lin Shu had already decided to help her, Lan Yi suddenly felt that she was very Lucky, no, very happy!Finally, there is a person who really thinks about himself just because of the fate of the wonderful meeting.

The water boiled, and Lan Yi smelled the faint fragrance in the water vapor. This is a clear spring in the mountains. I don't know where Susanna got it. It seems that she also spent a lot of thought to please the master. Lan Yi The corners of Yi's mouth curled up slightly.

"Master, the Serves family has nothing that I miss, but Xuanmen has a reason for me to stay. Naturally, I don't want to go back."

"Oh, why did you stay?"

"You are comfortable, and, master, you can't deny that you like the tea I make. At least, I am valuable in Taoism."

"Uh... just this value?"

"Master, I remember that you told those Taoist children that value should be created by oneself, not given by others."

"That's right, isn't your value in the Serves family even greater?"

"That depends on what is used to measure it. If it is measured by secular interests, it is indeed the case. If it is based on my own wishes, of course the value in Taoism is greater. In fact, doing things for the Servis family should be enough. Compensating for everything, I think, my life should be arranged by myself."

"That's right, so, why do you want to be my maid? Isn't this just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den, haha..."

Lan Yi raised her head and smiled: "Maid is just a job, and I'm used to it, Master, what do you think?"

"Uh... don't you want to be a disciple of Xuanmen?"

"Can a Taoist disciple be taught by his master all day long?"

"Haha... so you came up with this idea."

Lan Yi poured the tea into the cup, then gently put down the teapot, picked up the tray and walked towards Lin Shu: "Can't you, master?"

"Of course, um, I haven't had this tea before, it's not bad."

"Well, I bought it in Tanstin City, the name is very interesting, it's called 'Wind Whisper'."

"Wind language? Yes, it's very interesting, but although the taste is distant and ethereal, it doesn't seem to have the true meaning of wind language?"

"Well, this is the wind language of spring, and the wind language of other seasons. It is said that the taste is different. If you taste it carefully, it seems that there is a story brought by the wind, so it is called wind language."

"I see, this is a very mysterious kind of tea."

"Yes, the world is big and interesting. Thank you, Master, for letting me see this interesting world. I feel very happy living in this interesting world."

"cut!"

There was a sour nasal sound at the door, and Susanna walked in pushing a cart full of food, and Ao Yun who followed behind was still holding a fruit in her hand and gnawed, with a very interesting smile on her face.

"Since when did Xiaolan learn to talk sweetly, is she trying to trick you, the master?"

Ao Yun asked with a smile, Lan Yi's face was suddenly embarrassed, but only for a moment, Lan Yi's face returned to normal: "Ma'am... It is the duty of the master's maid to please the master. Look, isn't Susanna Are you doing that too?"

"Hee hee...don't yell, I'm not Ellie's nymphomaniac, Susan, Xiaolan is revealing your bottom, hurry up and fight back."

Susanna smiled sweetly and said: "Xiao Lan is right, that is indeed our duty, it's just that Xiao Lan is more cunning and Susan is more stupid."

"Haha..." Ao Yun laughed so hard that Lin Shu shook his head helplessly.

Watching Susan and Lan Yi begin to set the dining table, Lin Shu put away all the sundries on the table, finally closed the notebook, leaned back, turned his head and asked:

"Susan, is the battle over?"

Lin Shu asked about the raid on the Enlige family from West Kunlun. The battle was launched in the early hours of this morning, that is, at midnight local time, and it has been more than half a day now.

Susanna was busy with the work in hand, while replying: "I haven't received any news yet, but at the beginning of the battle, it was confirmed that the targets are all there. Unless there is any accident, the result of the battle should not go wrong. Next, the imperial capital's The situation will gradually return to calm and turn into an intense political game."

Lin Shu nodded, and suddenly asked: "Susan, what do you think of your grandfather's proposal to formally establish a cooperative relationship with Xuanmen and make it public?"

Suzanne paused, put down the things in her hands, turned to look at Lin Shu, and replied seriously: "Master, are you asking for my personal opinion?"

"Yes, you know the Ringer family very well. Do you think this approach of leaving no way out is feasible? Will it cause doubts in your family?"

"Uh... aren't you worried that Xuanmen's interests will be affected?"

"Huh? How will this affect Xuanmen? In theory, Xuanmen is willing to establish a friendly relationship with any partner with good intentions. If the royal family and the civil service system make similar suggestions at this time, I will agree without hesitation." .”

"Ah!...That decision, I think, there will definitely be voices of opposition in the clan. You also know that it is difficult to unify people's ideas. What's more, this decision is a little...a little..."

"I'm willing to fall!"

Susanna nodded slightly: "Well, it's self-deprecation."

Lin Shu pinched his chin and thought for a while: "So, Grand Duke Linge is a little too hasty? What is the reason that forced him to act like this? Could it be..."

"Master, eat first."

Susanna reminded, Lin Shu looked at Susanna with a smile, Susanna lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Lin Shu. (To be continued..)
