Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

[Thanks to 'Yun Han Yan Han' and 'Yunjuan Yunshu is not me' for their generous rewards, thank you! 】

Lin Shu and the others stayed by the lake for another five days. On the one hand, they searched for their missing companions. On the other hand, Li Jinglong was studying the various characteristics of the newly discovered mutant dark vanilla, including the characteristics of the growth environment, and even the water quality and climate. , The biome was also analyzed and recorded. Lin Shu didn't think it was strange, and the research should be so meticulous.

However, Lin Shu, Kong Zhexu and Ye Zhangxuan searched continuously for several days, but there is still no trace of the missing teammates, and there is no news of these missing teammates in the border village. It seems that these people have indeed encountered misfortune, or Went to the country of Xia?

Another three days later, a group of seven people traveled through the forest again and returned to the border village that seemed to have been lost for a long time.

Lin Xiaomei and Lin Xiaoyong were the happiest of Lin Shu's return. The two little guys didn't know that Lin Shu had experienced an adventure of a narrow escape, but they just chatted and reported the trivial situation of the two of them these days. Listening with a smile, from time to time, I would interject and ask a few words to see if the two little guys were lazy. The family of three really enjoyed themselves.

The next day, after the two little guys went to school, Lin Shu came to Li Jinglong's residence according to an appointment. It was the first time for Lin Shu to come here. Small, divided into three floors according to the terrain. The first floor is a field for experiments. There are still a few people working in it. Next to it, it should be busy digging a pond for cultivating mutated dark vanilla. The next floor is the Analytical laboratories and offices for hospitality, and above that is a large Tang Jiangnan-style building, and according to the customs of border villages, half of the buildings are built in the mountain, which looks a bit weird beauty.

Li Xiaoxin met Lin Shu at the gate of the yard, and Kong Zhexu followed behind, not to be outdone. Lin Shu and Monkey Head looked at Kong Zhexu with disdain, Kong Zhexu rolled his eyes, pretending not to see.

Li Xiaoxin just greeted him politely. Li Xiaoxin was still a little grateful for the person who helped her grandfather find the mutated dark herb, even though she felt that Lin Shu was a bit annoying, especially when it was slowly passed on. Seeing some rumors in her ears, Li Xiaoxin of course despises and loathes the thought of Lin Shu, a toad who wants to eat swan meat and save 50 years of struggle.

"By the way, thank you for taking care of my younger siblings these days!" Lin Shu really thanked him sincerely, and there was no other meaning, mainly because the younger siblings said good things about Li Xiaoxin in unison last night, and said that Li Xiaoxin explained meditation to them Fortunately, Lin Shu said hello in advance, and you must not try to meditate, because it is not advisable to pluck the seedlings before the time comes.

"You're welcome, they are them, you are you, you don't need to thank you, I treat them well because I like their innocence and kindness, please don't get me wrong."

Li Xiaoxin answered politely with a smile, but that smile was really repulsive!

Lin Shu glanced suspiciously at Li Xiaoxin, who was dressed very freshly and pleasantly, and then at Kong Zhexu, who couldn't help showing a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and almost couldn't help laughing. Speaking bad things about himself in front of his father, some people may regard himself as a toad who wants to climb the golden branch.

"Well, that's the blessing of the two of them."

Lin Shu replied with a smile, followed Li Xiaoxin silently across the stone road in the experimental field, and walked towards the second-floor building.

There is a very special building on the second floor. The outer part of the mountain is completely transparent. This glass-like material is very strong and has been specially treated so that it will not reflect light. If it is not for the beautiful plants on it Patterns, you don't even feel there's anything there.

Lin Shu looked in amazement, looking like a standard country bumpkin. Li Xiaoxin frowned fiercely, which made Kong Zhexu overjoyed. Although Li Xiaoxin didn't give Kong Zhexu any good looks, the enemy's defeat was his own victory!

This living room is very large. In fact, there is a huge desk behind it, and then there are a huge number of books surrounding the inner wall. On the other side, separated by transparent glass, is a room with many bottles And the laboratory of the instrument, Lin Shu looked at all this enviously.

In fact, every ascetic is a scholar. Therefore, this typical scholar-style building will naturally make Lin Shu like it. Of course, Lin Shu is not only a scholar, but also a monk, so his desire for the environment Not very strong.

Li Jinglong was working with several assistants in the laboratory, Li Xiaoxin took Lin Shu to the wooden bench in the living room and sat down, and was about to make tea for Lin Shu, Kong Zhexu was already holding the brewed tea Come here, but Lin Shu doesn't know how to drink the tea made by Kong Zhexu.

In the last few days on the edge of the moon lake, this guy was a little bit crazy after being stimulated by Ye Zhangxuan, and he kept trying to clean up the whole forest, but the results were often not good, so now Lin Shu still maintains the highest respect for Kong Zhexu be vigilant.

When Li Xiaoxin saw Kong Zhexu brought out the tea, she was naturally happy and relaxed. She turned around and went to call Li Jinglong gracefully. Lin Shu turned her head to look at the monkey head who was studying on the glass outside the transparent room, and grinned.

"I said, you have a thick skin!"

Kong Zhexu sat on the single seat opposite, crossed his legs, leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, holding the teacup gracefully in his hand, while looking down at the forest trees at an angle of minus fifteen degrees, he said softly with a smile .

"What? I have a thick skin? Why?"

Lin Shu asked loudly curiously, Kong Zhexu hurriedly put down his legs, looked back to the laboratory, and found that Li Xiaoxin was talking to Li Jinglong inside, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put the teacup in his hand on the tray on the table, Staring at Lin Shu bitterly, he said: "You bumpkin, stop thinking about it, Xiaoxin will never be deceived by you again!"

"Hehe, I see, you are the one who spoke ill of me behind my back!"

"Hmph, I don't bother to do this kind of thing! I'm just exposing some facts, facts!"

Lin Shu nodded: "I see, I'm not like you, I don't like to reveal the facts when others are not present, when Li Xiaoxin comes over, I will also reveal some facts, for example, someone is from the Ministry of Security, with the help of Li Jinglong's name To achieve some ulterior purposes, and this person is absolutely honest and serious about bringing Li Xiaoxin's feelings, do you think she will believe it?"

"you....."

Kong Zhexu was about to refute, but Lin Shu suddenly smiled behind him and spoke.

"Old Li, I'm sorry to disturb your work!"

Kong Zhexu glared at Lin Shu fiercely, and quickly put on a smiling face to greet Li Jinglong and Li Xiaoxin. This face-changing stunt is really something that everyone can learn by themselves!

Li Jinglong seemed to be in a good mood when he saw Lin Shu, with a bright smile on his face, which formed a strong contrast with Leng Feng beside him.

"Hehe, don't bother me, don't bother me at all. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to carry out this job! Oh, yes, this is the promised reward, a total of three hundred gold coins. You take this bearer card and go Just transfer the money."

Lin Shu stretched out his hand to take a card that was only four or five centimeters in size, and flipped through it curiously. Lin Shu had seen this kind of thing in Ye's shop. It was a token payment card, and the amount in it was entered by the payer. Yes, the quantity is displayed on the card.

"Hehe, thanks!"

"This is what you deserve. It will take a while for those who discover new species and those who assist in the research to apply for the bonus, but the amount is not bad, it should be [-] to [-]."

"so much!"

"You country bumpkin, I only need [-] gold coins for one shoe!"

Lin Shu rolled his eyes, Li Jinglong glanced at it disdainfully, while Li Xiaoxin frowned.

"This has nothing to do with your shoes. You didn't find the mutated dark vanilla in your shoes!"

"Haha..." Li Jinglong burst out laughing. When he looked up, he happened to see the monkey head lying on the glass with its tongue out and desperately licking the glass. He couldn't help laughing.

Li Jinglong, who laughed heartily, recovered from his convulsions after a while, panting and said to Lin Shu: "I asked you to come here to let you see my collection of books, you can borrow them to read!"

Lin Shu's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really?!"

Li Xiaoxin frowned again, Kong Zhexu curled his lips and didn't make another sound.

"Why am I lying to you? However, most of the books here are books on plants and medicine, and there are also some books on magic and magic circles. There is not a single book on animal taming."

"It doesn't matter what the animal taming is, can I borrow all these books?"

"Of course, you can borrow it to see it, or you can come here every day to see it!"

Just as Lin Shu was about to agree casually, he suddenly saw Li Xiaoxin's frowning even tighter, and Kong Zhexu's gritted teeth, and pretended to think for a while and said, "I'd better borrow it to take a look, my home is more comfortable after all."

Li Jinglong seemed a little regretful about Lin Shu's choice, but he didn't continue to insist, but still nodded with a smile: "Then it's up to you, I won't drink tea with you today, let Xiaoxin accompany you for me, The assistants in the lab are still waiting, I have to rush to work, sorry!"

"You're busy, I'll find a few books and leave. I'll talk to you another day when you're free!"

"Hehe, that's good!"

After Li Jinglong finished speaking, he quickly turned around and walked towards the laboratory, not dragging his feet at all. Lin Shu watched Li Jinglong leave with a smile, then pointed to the bookshelf, and said to Li Xiaoxin: "That..."

Li Xiaoxin nodded lightly: "You go find it yourself, I'll sit here for a while."

"Okay, if you have something to do, go to work, I will leave soon, don't worry, I won't steal the book and not return it."

"Cut, it's not any precious books, they are all bought in bookstores, go pick them out, you don't need to worry about mine."

Li Xiaoxin waved Lin Shu away as if chasing flies away, turned around and saw that Kong Zhexu was grinning gloatingly.

"You too, if you have nothing to do, go record the changes in water quality. If you have nothing to do all day, please go back to the capital, so as not to waste time here."
