夜色渐深,明兰独自站在 town's temple 外面，她已经在这里等待了整整一个时辰，路灯在她身后投下长长的影子，映照在古老的石墙上，那些刻满符文的石刻仿佛在向她诉说着某种古老的预言。
" knock, knock. " 她轻声唤道，期待着能听到 temple 门后的回声，门后没有回应，她只能继续等待，她知道，神明们不会轻易回应一个陌生人，尤其是在这样一个漆黑的夜晚。
随着时间的推移,她的影子逐渐拉长，最终消失在夜，明兰握紧了手中的铜钱，这是她从母亲那里继承的唯一财产，她知道，这枚铜钱是她唯一的希望，也是她唯一可以问到神明的medium。
" knock, knock. " 她又轻轻敲了敲门。
门后突然传来一阵低沉的回声,仿佛有什么东西在门后轻轻摆动，明兰的心跳加快了，她屏住呼吸，等待着神明的回应。
突然,一阵微风拂过石墙，带走了她手中的铜钱，她下意识地去抓，却发现自己已经无法抓住，铜钱在空中划出一道优美的弧线，最终落在 ground 上，发出一声轻响。
" what now? " 她喃喃自语，眼中闪过一丝失望。
就在这时,她听到了门后传来一个沙哑的声音：" you have come at the right time, my dear. the stars have aligned, and the odds are in your favor."
明兰转过身,看到神明 standing in the moonlight，他的 appearance was ashen and gaunt, his eyes glowing faintly with an otherworldly light.
" who are you? " she asked, her voice trembling.
" i am the god of destiny, known as lin feng. you have come to ask for a divination, and the time is now. the stars have spoken, and you must listen to their words."
明兰感觉自己的心脏在胸腔中剧烈跳动,她不知道该如何回应，她知道，神明的话来得如此突然，仿佛是从天而降的预言。
" tell me what the stars have decided for me," she said, her voice trembling with fear and excitement.
" your future will be filled with love and happiness, but it will not be easy. you must be patient, and you must trust in the path that has been set before you."
明兰感到一阵眩晕,她无法相信自己的耳朵，她知道，神明的话来得如此迅速，仿佛命运的安排就是如此。
" but what if i do not like it? what if i want a different path?"
" then you will have to face the consequences of your choices. the stars do not care about your desires, only about your destiny."
明兰沉默了片刻,她知道神明的话已经击中了她的内心，她必须做出一个决定，要么遵循命运，要么承受失去的痛苦。
" i will follow you," she said,声音坚定。
" good. then know this: the path you have chosen will lead you to a beautiful woman, known as lin bai. she will come to you at the right time, and she will change your life forever."
明兰感到一阵温暖的光芒围绕着她,她知道，神明的预言即将成真，她必须相信命运，必须相信自己的心。
" thank you, lin feng," she said, her voice filled with gratitude.
" you are welcome. now, go and prepare yourself for what is to come."
明兰点了点头,心中充满了希望，她知道，命运的安排虽然艰难，但却是最美好的事情。
她转身离开 temple，心中充满了对未来的期待，她知道，虽然现在还不清楚会发生什么，但她必须相信，命运已经为她安排好了。
夜色依旧深沉,但她的心中却充满了光明，她知道，无论未来如何，她都必须勇敢地面对，因为这是命运的安排。
她走向自己的 home，心中充满了希望，她知道，虽然现在还不清楚会发生什么，但她必须相信，命运已经为她安排好了。
