How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 84 Taoist Temple Lost Book

He really felt uneasy staying at home.

Though little Ye is just a robot, her entire being exudes a woman’s allure, and what’s most deadly is that she shares a room with him and absolutely does not resist any of his undue demands.

How could a young man bursting with vigor bear this?

He could only run away.

When the small car reached the corner of Tashan, Lin Xiaosu stopped and parked the small electric car at the bridge, heading up the road towards Liu Lin Temple...

Liu Lin Temple was as quiet as ever.

The second uncle had already eaten breakfast and was sitting on the platform outside Liu Lin Temple, reading a book.

As soon as he saw Lin Xiaosu coming, he was delighted: "Little Su, you’re here. I made some mo (buns) myself, they’re still warm, want one?"

"You made mo yourself?" Lin Xiaosu asked, "Where?"

"In the kitchen, take it yourself and make me a cup of tea while you’re at it..."

Lin Xiaosu entered the kitchen; indeed, there were four or five buns in the pot, pale yellow in color, looking quite casual, but the wheat from the mountains, made into mo by oneself, still had that natural wheat fragrance.

Lin Xiaosu with a mo in his mouth, holding a cup of tea in each hand, handed the tea to his second uncle and praised, "Second uncle, you’re living quite a carefree life."

"Not like you, I’m old now, got a wife, got a daughter, no need to earn money for the wife’s sake, when else should I enjoy life?" Second uncle said, "I’ve summarized a few stages of life myself, at twenty years old, one should be reckless, if not, it’s a wasted youth; at thirty, one should mature, otherwise, it’s juvenile; at forty, one needs wisdom, otherwise, one will get played to death; at fifty, one must learn to let go, otherwise, this whole life is just too tiring."

Lin Xiaosu was stunned: "Youthful recklessness is a wasted youth, is this the reason you peeped at Widow Feng bathing when you were young?"

Second uncle sprang up, grabbing a willow root beside him.

But Lin Xiaosu quickly sat down in his chair: "No hitting! You yourself said it, at twenty one should be reckless, and I’m at that age, so I can say whatever I want... oh, a ’Taoist Book’..."

He picked up the book his second uncle was just reading.

It was a thread-bound book, using a poster folded as a cover. Lin Xiaosu had thought from a distance that it was a leisure book, but now opening it, he realized it was an ancient book.

"This was left by Taoist Lu Yun!" his second uncle pointed to the book with a willow stick, "It’s through this book that I’ve slowly groped some methods to observe the heavens and could predict the Ecliptic Change Day quite accurately."

Through this book, one can predict the Ecliptic Change Day.

Lin Xiaosu was excited: "Second uncle, may I take a look?"

"Take a look, as long as you can understand it..." The second uncle tossed away the willow stick, entered the Taoist Temple to get another chair, and took another book.

When he came out, Lin Xiaosu had already flipped through a dozen pages.

The second uncle secretly shook his head; this way of flipping was just skimming, how profound is the Taoist legacy? He had devoted himself wholeheartedly to study it for a full twenty-three years and only grasped the superficialities—how could he expect a young man from the new generation’s society to understand it?

This look was certainly not of intensive study.

But what he never expected was that this was already the slowest pace Lin Xiaosu had ever read a book.

If in a library, even facing the vast fields of botany and zoology, Lin Xiaosu’s reading speed would be more than ten times faster than this.

This book was too abstruse.

Most of the terms inside, Lin Xiaosu did not know.

The style of writing inside was also vastly different from that of modern people.

The theories inside, profound and incomprehensible: the Heavenly Dao has its rules, the operation of the Heavenly Dao has traces, these traces are not visible to the ordinary eye, but can be reflected in many aspects: astral signs, wind direction, changes of the four seasons, changes of the crops, changes of mountains and rivers...

A book of no more than fifty thousand words took him a full hour.

He could ensure he remembered every word, but that was just remembering...

Terrifying...

"Second uncle!" Lin Xiaosu put down the book, "How much do you understand of this book?"

"Probably just the superficialities!" Second uncle said, "Taoist Lu Yun mentioned that the Ancient Heavenly Book has three volumes: one is ’Observe the Way’, the second is ’Enlightenment’, the third is ’Holding the Way’. This ’Taoist Book’ is actually just a fragment."

"A fragment? So that’s why it’s so confusing?" Lin Xiaosu said, "What about the rest?"

"It’s gone, Taoist Lu Yun said, the Dao can only be slightly glimpsed, not fully explored, so the ancestor who wrote the ’Taoist Book’ wrote three volumes, each defective, one because it couldn’t be done, the other because it wasn’t dared."

The Dao can only be slightly glimpsed, not fully explored!

This is obviously an even more profound theory...

"Observe the Way, Enlightenment, Holding the Way..." Lin Xiaosu said, "Enlightenment, how do you achieve it?"

"That’s the realm of immortals!" Second uncle said, "In the realm of immortals, summoning wind and rain, calling thunder and electricity, water piercing stones, flying through the void... all these are comprehensions of the rules of heaven and earth, this is called ’Enlightenment’."

"And Holding the Way?"

"Holding the Way is even more mysterious, truly mastering these rules, time, space, causation all within them..." Second uncle said, "This topic is a bit too far off, Little Su, I still hope you can seriously study this ’Taoist Book’ and see if it’s possible to predict the Equatorial Death Day, Ecliptic Rift Day, etc., to prepare accordingly."

This is probably the longest obsession of the second uncle.

Some things Taoist Lu Yun told him when he was leaving, he only knows superficially, to this day, he can only predict the lowest level Ecliptic Change Day, the higher level Ecliptic Rift Day, Equatorial Death Day he cannot predict at all.

Could Lin Xiaosu achieve what he couldn’t?

Possibly, after all, Lin Xiaosu is a university graduate, with a much broader knowledge base.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try!" Lin Xiaosu’s gaze shifted to the second uncle, "What book do you have in your hand?"

"This book, ah, it’s just a leisure book!" Second uncle brightened the cover, showing him.

Lin Xiaosu’s eyes locked on, the cover read three words: "Sea Abyss Scripture."

Upon seeing this book, Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat.

The font, the color of the cover are very familiar.

It greatly resembles another book he saw in the Qianlong 101 Library.

That book was the "Mountain and River Scripture", which records 360 kinds of exotic items. The second time he looked through the "Heavenly Window", when he first harvested Human Tao Orchid Heart, he saw a large bird recorded in the "Mountain and River Scripture" called "Kong gu"...

This was Lin Xiaosu’s first interaction with the "Mountain and River Scripture".

Now a "Sea Abyss Scripture" has popped up...

"Is this also left by Taoist Lu Yun?"

"Yes, he only left two books."

"Let me see!" Lin Xiaosu reached out.

Second Uncle handed him the book...

Lin Xiaosu flipped open the book, which also recorded various exotic items from the ancient times. Unlike the "Mountain and River Scripture", the exotic items recorded here mostly belong to creatures from the Abyss and Dark Sea, generally leaning towards "Hidden System", extremely dangerous, extremely fierce, and highly unpredictable.

If the exotic items in the "Mountain and River Scripture" could be said to belong to the Immortal World, the exotic items in the "Sea Abyss Scripture" seemed more like those of the Demon World.

Lin Xiaosu skimmed through it rapidly.

Suddenly, his heart was shocked...

"Netherworld Nine-Transformation Beast, born in the Hell Nether River, inherently capable of transformation, starting as a floating duckweed leaf... then becoming a black worm... the third form as a White Snake, impervious to weapons, its speed like electricity, extremely bloodthirsty... the fourth form as a Crimson Bird..."

Lin Xiaosu was particularly serious while reading this page, his expression extremely solemn.

Afterward, he sped up his reading pace significantly, essentially scanning the book.

Of course, even if he read quickly, he memorized every word.

But it was pure memorization.

The latter part dealt with various plants.

Lin Xiaosu slowed down again at one type of plant...

"Boundary Domain Grapes, capable of parasitizing any plant, growing at the intersection of two realms influenced by the qi of both realms, containing nine grapes with inscrutable power, when consumed by Exotic Beasts, their bloodline achieves nirvana..."

In the latter half of the "Sea Abyss Scripture", Lin Xiaosu sped up again, finishing the entire book in about five minutes.

He handed the "Sea Abyss Scripture" back to Second Uncle and stood up: "Second Uncle, I’m leaving now!"

Second Uncle also stood up: "Little Su, could you please check on Dian Dian’s situation? I’m not worried, but your Second Aunt keeps talking about it, I’m afraid to go home..."

"Rest assured, Second Uncle, I’ll look into it right away."

"Alright... Take this book with you, read it at leisure, just don’t lose it." Second Uncle handed the "Taoist Book" to him.

"I don’t need it!" Lin Xiaosu didn’t take it and quickly walked down the mountain.

He rode his electric bike and raced back to Fengcheng.

Upon entering the Detective Agency, he greeted Zhou Xi who was minding the store and went upstairs...

He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number...

Atop a huge island above the sea.

Chang Ye was sitting on a swing, the wind blew past, and her cheeks seemed slightly different in color from usual.

A smart robot modeled after her had already been sent to his house.

It spent its first night there.

The great experiment had already begun, and there is no turning back.

From now on, each day would be unfamiliar, and each day, extensive data would need to be recorded.

She would experience a life she had never experienced before...

Cooking meals, carrying water for irrigation, planting and picking vegetables, spending day and night with an old lady in the countryside...

Xinyue, the little silly girl, even broke another layer of paper screen, although Chang Ye absolutely wouldn’t admit this was something she also wanted to experience, but deep down, she was somewhat looking forward to it...

He did not do that last night.

What about today?

What about a few days later?

It would eventually happen, right?

On the actual day it happens, should this side share it?

From a scientific exploration perspective, it truly should be shared, but why? What makes humans human? It’s because of emotions! When are emotions felt most intensely? Probably only during this activity.

Making love—this is where emotions, desires, and physical connections are most closely linked, capable of producing many mysterious reactions that even science struggles to explain.

Suddenly, she received a call from "little Su".

Chang Ye cleared her mind of all distractions and answered: "Hi! How do you like your gift?"

"Let’s put the gift aside for now!" Lin Xiaosu said, "There’s something very important."

"Tell me!" Chang Ye’s voice became calm.

"How is the situation with the White Snake at Lao Mountain?"
