On the night of the Seven Stars aligned, a crimson meteor fell and turned the termite nest beneath the ancestral home in Qingwu Town into a death trap.
When eighteen-year-old Liu Tianfang gripped his family's ancestral compass, he realized that as the heir to a feng shui family, he was destined to fight ghosts and gods for his life.
**A paper bride crawls out of an underground chamber**, clutching the birth details of his grandfather, who had died mysteriously three days earlier.
**Nine broken dragon-subduing spikes lie at the bottom of the Dragon-Locking Well**, tied to an ancient feng shui formation from the Tang dynasty that sealed away a monstrous serpent on the verge of becoming a dragon.
**A fragment of bronze inscribed with symbols of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau** matches the palm prints of fetuses from thirty-eight cases of missing pregnant women.
By the time Liu Tianfang pieces together the final page of The Dragon-Shaking Classic, the Nine Palaces Flying Stars formation has already been secretly altering the fate of the nation for twenty years.
On the night the gates of Fengdu opened ahead of time, he saw his own birth details in the “sacrifice” column of the Underworld's Book of Life and Death. The ferryman at the Yellow Springs crossing had the exact same face as his missing father.
A blood moon hangs overhead, and a century-old locust tree bleeds human blood;
Ghost soldiers march through the land, and bone talismans crawl from the cracks in the soul-suppressing steles of the Five Sacred Mountains;
At the peak of Kunlun, the light of the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions pierces the eyes he blinded with his own hands
When he sacrificed his eyes to seal the primordial earth demon, he finally understood the curse at the center of his compass: “One lineage inherits Heaven's secrets; both eyes must be traded for peace.”
From a small feng shui case involving termites nesting in Qingwu Town to a yin-yang calamity shaking the dragon veins of the Nine Provinces,
how will this young geomancer, forced to wager his life against the King of Hell and compete with ghosts for good fortune,
hold the last line of defense along the earth's ley lines amid a labyrinth where human hearts are more treacherous than demons?
