How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 258: The First Day of the Lunar New Year, Equatorial Split Sun

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: The First Day of the Lunar New Year, Equatorial Split Sun

In the early morning, Chang Ye woke up from a dream and slowly propped herself up: "I guess I’ve spent the night at your place. Should I be content or... more content?"

"What, are you really leaving?"

"I really have to go!"

"Even the heavy snow can’t halt your steps."

"I would like to leave a footprint, but to avoid roasting you tonight, I’d better leave." Chang Ye said, "I’ll go exchange little Ye... all your suffering from last night, you can release tonight..."

"... I’ll see you off!" Lin Xiaosu was speechless.

The snow outside had stopped.

But the sky was still overcast.

The north wind howled, occasionally bringing a few snowflakes.

The fields were white, the distant mountains were white.

The vegetables mom planted were all covered by white snow.

"Mom, I’m going to the county town with little Ye." Lin Xiaosu pushed out the motorcycle.

"The roads are all snowy, be careful not to fall."

"It’s fine!" Lin Xiaosu rode the motorcycle, carrying Chang Ye, and sped out of Old Tashan Village.

In the county town hotel, Chang Ye and little Ye changed clothes. Her clothes were a white windbreaker.

As she walked out of the hotel, snow started falling again.

In the wind and snow, Chang Ye strolled along the long street. Her silhouette gradually blended into the flying snow. At the street corner ahead, she turned back, flashed a sweet smile, and then vanished...

Lin Xiaosu quietly watched her silhouette until an umbrella opened behind him.

He turned back to see little Ye, who smiled softly. It seemed like Chang Ye had left a projection of herself beside him...

When they left, they walked together.

When they returned, they were still together.

When they left, Chang Ye hugged Lin Xiaosu’s waist from the back seat of the motorcycle.

Upon their return, it was still the same.

The same posture, the same attire, the same beautiful scenery...

But Lin Xiaosu’s mind was completely different.

Emotions are sometimes very peculiar...

The motorcycle crunched over the snow, leaving patterns as it sped into the courtyard.

Little Ye got off the motorcycle and went inside. His mom took a towel to brush off the snowflakes on her. Little Ye stood there sweetly smiling; everything seemed so perfect.

After the Small New Year, the rural areas quickly entered the New Year’s atmosphere.

Day by day, the festive spirit grew stronger.

People who worked outside for years began returning home, riding the tailwind of the new year.

The small mountain village became increasingly lively.

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, a climax occurred.

Two more foreigners arrived in the village.

Anna’s parents came.

It was because of the war in Heilan Country, with cities under fire, factories shut down, currency devalued, and material shortages. If it were summer, they could barely manage, but it was winter. In Heilan, water turned to ice, and without winter supplies, survival was impossible. Anna’s parents made many connections, almost bankrupting themselves to get two visas to Daxia Country to seek refuge with their son-in-law.

Lin Xiaosu listened to the stories the villagers told and felt deeply moved.

In peaceful times, some things are beyond one’s perception.

Eating breakfast every day, browsing short videos, complaining about social injustices, seeing others buy cars and houses while your pocket is empty, it’s all considered normal.

But these are the troubles of peace.

You’ve never experienced the comparison with a war-torn region.

You’ve never experienced war.

Once war occurs, all your usual worries and frustrations become insignificant. Everyone’s focus shifts towards one essential thing: survival!

This is just a skirmish within a single nation.

If the whole world were to tumble into chaos?

If a few exotic beasts appear at the village entrance?

If a large fleet of warships suddenly appears in the sky?

If folding space fully opens, and the whole earth turns into a land of the strong preying on the weak?

Cold winds blow, shaking the pine trees on Tashan.

The remaining snow falls with the wind.

The sky is filled with dark clouds; the previous snow hasn’t melted, and new snow arrives?

Lin Xiaosu opened his phone and saw the weather forecast...

Tonight, small snow!

New Year’s Eve, heavy snow!

The first day of the Lunar New Year, blizzard!

In modern society, weather forecasts are quite accurate.

As night fell, the snow began to flutter.

On New Year’s Eve, the snow really fell heavily.

In the city, snow might not last, but in places like Old Tashan Village, once it starts snowing, the fields quickly become a vast white.

Every household lit large fires, all exclaiming that fortunately they returned early; with such heavy snow, if it snowed for a day and night more, highways would probably close, and their dream of returning home after a year of hard work, seeing family at New Year, would be dashed.

Lin Xiaosu sat in his room on the second floor, looking at the small courtyard next door.

Hu Ya ultimately did not return.

If there was any change each year, the biggest change between him and Hu Ya was probably the most significant this year.

This time last year, he was busy studying for the civil service exam.

Hu Ya was carefree, catching wild game everywhere.

And this year, he embarked on a path he never dreamed of.

Hu Ya became a Qianlong Gold Medal agent, and during this Spring Festival, she might be overseas on a mission...

But the next day!

The first day of the Lunar New Year!

Lin Xiaosu pushed open the door, startling...

A head popped up from the wall next door!

Hu Ya grinned mischievously at him.

"When did you come back?" Lin Xiaosu stepped through the snow to the wall.

The walls of the two courtyards were adjacent.

"When the midnight bell was about to ring last night, I shouted: Slow down! So the midnight bell paused for a moment, I entered home, had a New Year’s Eve dinner with my mom, then allowed the bell to strike!" Hu Ya said.

"Alright, you’re impressive! You’re great!" Lin Xiaosu said, "I thought from your dark room that you wouldn’t come back this year."

"How could that be? I wait for you to wish me a Happy New Year every year. Come, give your elder sister a bow!"

"Why are you pretending to be my elder sister? You are younger than me, you should wish me a Happy New Year!"

"Only three days younger!"

"Three days isn’t little. Even three hours make you the neighbor’s little sister."

"Fine, fine, I’ll wish you a Happy New Year. Traditionally, you should give a red envelope, hand it over..."

"I didn’t prepare it, owe you!"

"Owing a New Year’s red envelope, what sort of person are you..."

The two playfully bicker...

Playing in the big snow.

Today’s weather forecast predicted a blizzard, still very accurate.

But the strong wind and heavy snow seemed to pose no obstacle for Lin Xiaosu and Hu Ya.

After a while, Hu Ya smiled lightly: "Would you like to accompany me to a place today?"

"Where?"

"Liu Lin Temple!"

Lin Xiaosu’s heart slightly skipped...

Liu Lin Temple!

Of course, Liu Lin Temple!

If Hu Ya hadn’t mentioned it, he would have gone there today anyway.

Because according to the calculations in the Taoist Book, tonight at midnight is the Equatorial Split Sun!

Equatorial Split Sun, a Heavenly Dao change.

It’s a higher level of Heavenly Dao change than Ecliptic change day.

During two Ecliptic change days, Lin Xiaosu gained the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye at Liu Lin Temple once, and the Human Tao Orchid Heart once... In fact, the first time he also received the Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit, but he didn’t realize it then.

Ecliptic change day is the harvest season.

Equatorial Split Sun is the danger season.

This danger season could not be calculated by his Second Uncle due to limited abilities.

Lin Xiaosu calculated it.

He told his Second Uncle.

Did his Second Uncle tell Hu Ya?

Otherwise, why did she insist on coming back? Even if she had to step on the Eve’s bell, she had to come back?

But Hu Ya’s explanation left Lin Xiaosu unsure whether she knew about the Equatorial Split Sun...

Her explanation was: "Last night, I spent New Year’s Eve with my mom, and since dad was alone at the Taoist Temple, it’s my duty as a daughter to replace him today so he can spend time with mom."

"Alright, I’ll accompany you!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Hu Ya was very happy, but her eyes twinkled slightly: "Are you not going to discuss this with little Ye?"

"It’s alright, little Ye is easygoing." Lin Xiaosu said, "Let’s go."

The two stepped through the snow and headed straight for Tashan.

Heavy snow sealed the mountain; heavy snow also, in a sense, sealed the gates...

The small mountain village was very quiet, with few people walking around.

Their departure from the village went unnoticed by most.

Even if noticed, they didn’t care.

In the eyes of the villagers, Lin Xiaosu was a man with a wife at home. He wouldn’t be so bold as to have an affair with another woman right now, would he? That would be too audacious...

The only one feeling a bit awkward was Hu Ya herself.

At the foot of Tashan, she stopped in the wind and snow.

Her face turned under the wide down coat: "Although you say little Ye is easygoing, and I can see that’s true, but taking advantage of her easygoing nature and running away with me? Why do I feel like you’re a trash man?"

"Running away with you makes me a trash man?"

"Very much so!"

"Lucky it’s only very much like!" Lin Xiaosu said, "I must be at Liu Lin Temple tonight!"

Hu Ya stared at him: "What do you know?"

"Let’s drop the mysterious act between us. Your dad might have been hesitant to tell you, but I’ll be direct: tonight’s Equatorial Split Sun was calculated by me!"

Hu Ya’s eyes widened: "You calculated it?"

"Is that hard to believe?" Lin Xiaosu pointed to his face: "Look at this handsome, elegant face radiating wisdom. You should be able to tell that such enlightened conclusions come from me."

"Ha! Looking at your petite figure, I can only see one thing." Hu Ya scoffed: "All your plans for tonight are probably superficial, mere show!"

Lin Xiaosu almost fell into the snow...

Superficial...

What does she mean?

And why do I have such a vivid image?

"We’re about to climb the mountain; heavy snow seals the mountain. If you need me to carry you up, just say so."

The mountain ahead indeed embodied the literal meaning of heavy snow sealing the mountain.

An ordinary person would find climbing the mountain in this weather quite challenging.

Lin Xiaosu lightly shook his head: "You really know nothing about me."

"Huh?"

"Let’s go!" Lin Xiaosu stepped lightly, landing on the upper rock, snow flying, and suddenly he soared ten meters upward.
