The autumn wind blew, rolling up the fallen leaves in front of the gate of Chongzhen Temple, like a group of dancing elves, adding a bit of desolation to this ancient Taoist temple. Lu Haotian stood in the wind, dressed brightly, but he could not hide the uneasiness between his brows. He held a heavy suitcase tightly in his hand. Dong Dong Dong - the knocking sound echoed in the valley, startling the birds resting on the branches, and seemed to knock on Lu Haotian's heart. Creaky - the mottled wooden door slowly opened, and a woman in a moon-white Taoist robe appeared in front of him. It was Fairy Lu Yao. Her black hair was like clouds, her skin was whiter than snow, and her temperament was pure and refined, like a fairy in a painting. Her calm eyes fell on Lu Haotian, as if she could see through what he was thinking at a glance. Lu Haotian's heart was shocked. He subconsciously straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and bowed respectfully: "Master, how are you?" Lu Yaoxian Gu nodded slightly, raised her white hand, and motioned him to come in: "Master, please come in." Inside the Taoist temple, the sandalwood was curling, and the fragrance was diffused, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Lu Haotian put the heavy suitcase on the table and said: "Master, thanks to your guidance last time, I have achieved some success in my career. These are my little gifts. I hope you will accept them." Lu Yaoxian Gu's eyes did not fall on the box of cash, but stared at Lu Haotian with clear eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Master, I appreciate your kindness. But you should donate this money to those who need it more." Lu Haotian was stunned when he heard this, and his admiration for Lu Yaoxian Gu arose spontaneously. He originally thought that Lu Yaoxian Gu would be happy to accept the money. After all, the Taoist temple also needs maintenance and incense needs to continue. But he didn't expect that Fairy Lu Yao was so indifferent to fame and wealth, and regarded money as dirt. "Master, you are so kind, I will learn from you." Lu Haotian said sincerely, with a hint of awe in his tone, "But, I still have something to ask of you." Fairy Lu Yao nodded slightly, motioning him to continue. "I still have doubts in my heart, I don't know what my future fate will be?" Lu Haotian asked nervously, with a tremor in his voice. Fairy Lu Yao smiled slightly: "My dear, please follow me."
She took Lu Haotian to a stone room in the backyard of the Taoist temple. In the center of the stone room was an ancient altar. In the incense burner on the altar, smoke curled up, candlelight flickered, and some strange instruments were reflected. The most eye-catching thing was a crystal ball-like object, emitting a faint glass luster, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. "This is the glass heart curtain, which can see the past, present and future lives." Fairy Lu Yao explained, her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a clear spring in the mountains, "You sit cross-legged, concentrate and calm your mind, and you can see the original trajectory of your destiny." Lu Haotian sat cross-legged as she said, and according to Fairy Lu Yao's instructions, he closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down and get rid of distracting thoughts. Gradually, he seemed to enter a bizarre dream. He saw that he was still busy in the company. In order to save the company on the verge of bankruptcy, he worked day and night, exhausted his energy, and kept spinning like a spinning top. However, all efforts were in vain, and the company inevitably went bankrupt. He sold all his property and spent everything just to pay employees' wages and save their livelihoods. On the day of the Ghost Festival, he did not attend the ritual of Lu Yaoxian Gu, but handled the final liquidation matters in the empty company. Just as he signed the last document with trembling hands, a sharp pain spread throughout his body like an electric current. His eyes went black and he fell heavily to the ground, his consciousness gradually blurred... The scene stopped abruptly, and Lu Haotian suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death struggle. He gasped for breath, his heart beat like a drum, and his heart was full of fear and trepidation. "Is this my original destiny?" Lu Haotian murmured to himself, his voice hoarse, his eyes full of disbelief. Fairy Lu Yao sighed softly, with a hint of regret in her tone: "That's right. Your original destiny was like this." "Thanks to the Taoist's guidance, I was able to escape this disaster." Lu Haotian said gratefully, his heart full of admiration and gratitude for Fairy Lu Yao. Fairy Lu Yao shook her head, her eyes deep: "The one you should thank the most is actually yourself. Philosophy illuminates destiny, and numerology changes destiny. You can change your destiny because you have long realized the crux of your own destiny and are determined to make changes. My help is just to go with the flow and make it easier for you to achieve your goals." She walked to the window, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, and said in a distant tone: "I opened a Chinese studies class because I am well aware of the importance of philosophy and destiny. I hope that more people can master their own lives and get rid of the shackles of fate through learning and thinking." The sunlight shone through the window lattice and sprinkled on Fairy Lu Yao, coating her with a layer of golden halo, which made her more extraordinary and otherworldly.
Lu Haotian listened quietly, and his mind suddenly became clear, as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had come out. He finally understood that the key to changing one's destiny does not lie in the help of external forces, but in one's own awareness and actions. The help of external forces is just icing on the cake, and the real power comes from the heart. "Master, your words have opened my eyes." Lu Haotian bowed deeply and said firmly, "My future is in my own hands. I will definitely work harder in the future and use my actions to create a better future." Lu Yaoxian smiled slightly, her eyes full of encouragement and expectations: "Good thoughts are like spring seedlings, and they will eventually grow into towering trees. I believe you can do it." A few days later, Lu Haotian donated the huge sum of money to charity organizations according to Lu Yaoxian's advice to help poor students, lonely elderly people and disabled people. Looking at the happy smiles on the faces of the recipients, Lu Haotian was filled with joy and satisfaction. In addition, a group of ancient tombs was discovered at Lu Haotian's construction site, and he reported the group of ancient tombs to the country. After the national archaeological team moved in, they found that this was a large-scale ancient royal tomb complex with extremely high historical and research value. In return, the state exchanged a piece of construction land in a prosperous area for Lu Haotian. The value of this piece of land far exceeded his previous piece of land, and it also brought him greater development opportunities. He finally understood that helping others is happier and more meaningful than having wealth. He came to Chongzhen Temple again, reported the donation to Lu Yaoxiangu, and expressed his gratitude again. Lu Yaoxiangu watched him go down the mountain and sighed softly: "I hope he can really understand that the real practice is not on the mountain, but in the world, in a compassionate heart, and in bringing warmth and hope to others." Twelve years, a reincarnation, whether it is sinking or transforming, is all determined by the heart, and the environment changes with the heart. As the sun sets, the golden afterglow fills Chongzhen Temple, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity to this ancient Taoist temple.
