Bone Gazing: Borrowing Fate from the Mountains and Rivers

In the fourth year of Zhizheng, the Yellow River flooded for a thousand miles. The young Chen Guan was rescued from the turbulent currents by the old Daoist Xuanweizi, who pointed out that he had an "empty fate"—without luck or fortune, yet able to see the "qi" that ordinary people could not: joy was warm smoke wrapping around sleeves, anger was sparks jumping on the head, and in this chaotic world, the fiercest was the red qi of soldiers stained with blood, the heaviest was the black qi of a city about to be crushed. On the star-gazing platform, Xuanweizi pointed at the thick clouds above the temple and sighed, "In seven days, people from the north will occupy this temple." When soldiers with blades kicked open the temple gate, and when the strange qi beneath the temple began to surge, Chen Guan clenched the old coin engraved with "Follow Heaven" and "Defy Fate" and suddenly understood: a man without a fate must borrow the qi of these mountains and rivers to carve out a path to survival. Observing qi, hiding his edge, guarding the temple, and blocking calamities—watch how this young man defies fate amidst the turbulent times in the Mountain Bone Temple.
