With reverence, Alex slowly walks into the Taoist temple. As soon as he enters the Taoist temple, he is attracted by the tranquility and mystery here. In the Taoist temple, incense is curling up, the bell is ringing melodiously, and the Taoist priests are dressed in cyan Taoist robes, with serene expressions, as if being in a world isolated from the outside.

The Taoist priests come forward and greet Alex friendly. Alex also responds enthusiastically, introducing himself in not-so-fluent Chinese. The Taoist priests are infected by Alex's enthusiasm and invite him to sit down and have tea and chat together.

During the chat, Alex tells the Taoist priests about his travel experiences and his love for different cultures.

The Taoist priests, after listening to Alex's introduction, also feel fresh about Halloween culture.

Alex patiently answers their questions and also takes out the photos he took during his travels to let the Taoist priests understand the culture of Halloween more intuitively.

In this process of mutual communication, Alex feels the profoundness of Taoism. He finds that Taoism is not only a religious belief, but also an attitude towards life and a philosophical thought. Taoism emphasizes following nature and pursuing inner peace and harmony, which coincides with the freedom and tranquility he pursues in his travels.

And the Taoist priests also have a deeper understanding of Halloween.

In order to let Alex better understand Taoist culture, the Taoist priests also take him to visit every corner of the Taoist temple. They introduce the statues, ritual implements and classics in the Taoist temple to Alex, letting him feel the sacredness and solemnity of Taoism. Alex is deeply attracted by these ancient cultural heritages and records every wonderful moment with his camera.

During the visit, Alex also sees the life of the Taoist priests' practice. They get up early every day to meditate, chant scriptures and practice martial arts, living a simple and fulfilling life. Alex is moved by the perseverance and self-discipline of the Taoist priests. He realizes that practice is not only a religious act, but also a challenge and transcendence of oneself.

When leaving the Taoist temple, Alex is full of emotions. He says that this trip has made him gain a lot. Not only has he had a deeper understanding of Taoist culture, but he has also made a group of like-minded friends. He said that if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely come to the East again to continue exploring the mysteries of Taoism.

The Taoist priests also express their gratitude for Alex's arrival. They say that Alex's arrival has given them a new understanding of Western culture and also strengthened their confidence in spreading Taoist culture. They hope that more people will come to the Taoist temple in the future to understand Taoist culture and jointly explore the true meaning of life.

Since then, Alex and the Taoist priests have always been in touch. They share their lives and insights through emails, phone calls and other means. And the Taoist destiny between them, like a seed, takes root and sprouts in their hearts and blooms beautiful flowers.

On this mysterious and fantastical Halloween, the encounter between Alex and the Taoist priests is like a wonderful journey across cultures. Their story will also become a beautiful memory, inspiring more people to explore different cultures and find their own Taoist destiny.
