Mr. Feng Shui's Folk Anecdotes

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of China's Republican Era (1912-1949), this novel chronicles the uncanny adventures of Li Beidou, a feng shui master born under a portentous celestial alignment. His birth coincided with the winter solstice—a liminal moment of cosmic transition between Yin and Yang—marked by an omen: every black dog in the village went mad, hurling themselves to their deaths beneath the ancient huai tree at the village entrance. Hailing from a lineage of funeral attire shopkeepers who clothed the dead, Beidou's destiny shifted during a feverish delirium when he encountered the Yin-Inquiring Matriarch, a spectral figure who inducted him into the shadowed arts bridging the mortal realm and the afterlife. The narrative weaves through encounters with Yin Arts—esoteric rituals to commune with spirits—and the perilous Nine Yin Techniques, a forbidden corpus of necromantic lore. Each chapter unravels bizarre phenomena: sentient funeral paper effigies, geomantic curses haunting ancestral tombs, and markets where the dead barter with spirit coins. Blending historical verisimilitude with supernatural intrigue, the story illuminates the clandestine world of Yin-Yang practitioners—custodians of cosmic balance—through Beidou's trials. From exorcising poltergeists in Shanghai's jazz-age parlors to decoding cryptic feng shui patterns in war-torn villages, his journey reveals how the veil between worlds grows thin in times of human strife.

The Immortal Wizard's Journey

In the carriage bound for the Milic Empire, Royen came to terms with two stark realities: his sudden transmigration and his new identity as a slave. The squalid conditions, the gnawing hunger, and the relentless jolting of the carriage—it was hard to imagine a more dismal beginning. Yet, there was a sliver of solace: Royen had been bestowed with a system and an immortality unbound by any natural laws, though each passing year only allowed him to enhance a single attribute point. [Strength, Speed, Defense, Magic Power, Comprehension] In a world where swords and sorcery reign supreme, order began to crumble amidst encroaching chaos. Souls not of this world reopened their eyes to a realm of dwarves, elves, dragons, towering spires, and castles—a world brimming with desire and calamity. Escaping from the slave-transporting carriage, Royen embarked on a spellbinding journey through the arcane. His pace varied, sometimes swift, at other times leisurely, with moments of rest, but his steps never ceased to move forward. Through the Age of Decadent Magic, the Era of the Gods, and the Dark Times of Turmoil, his presence was a constant thread woven through the tapestry of time. His sole task was to survive amidst the upheaval and strife. A decade passed, and the village of his past was no longer recognizable. A century later, the empire of yore had vanished into the annals of history. After a millennium, the casual musings on magic he had jotted down had become foundational texts for countless mages. Then one day, with a mere flick of a branch casually plucked from the roadside, Royen split the sky asunder. It was only then that everyone realized he had ascended to the pinnacle of the world.
