The frail Taoist priest Li Qiantian heads down the mountain on his master’s orders and immediately meets Chen Feng, a “madman” and a top-tier rich kid who is lecherous but otherwise harmless. When profound Maoshan arts collide with money-powered tricks and crooked reasoning, an unlikely demon-hunting duo is born!
They roam the steel-and-concrete jungles of modern cities, unraveling a feng shui death trap hidden in a Shanghai skyscraper that “slashes wealth like a blade,” and explaining the scientific (?) principles behind a Macau casino’s secret method for drawing in money. They also venture into haunted places in the countryside, dispelling the resentment of a century-old haunted house and solving the mystery of a River God’s wedding. From corpse magic in ancient Southeast Asian tombs to Japanese urban legends, their cross-border feng shui battles are one perilous adventure after another.
Li Qiantian bears a curse passed down by his sect, and his love life is full of hardship. He is surrounded by an intellectual beauty, a dashing policewoman, a feng shui master of mixed heritage, and a spiritually gifted shrine maiden. Every flutter of the heart brings deadly retribution, leaving him destined to be a lover who can only protect from afar. Meanwhile, as Chen Feng jokes around and twists the concept of dragon veins into “energy pipelines,” he gradually gets caught up in a mystical conspiracy spanning a thousand years.
The shadow of the Nine Nether Society hangs over the world, and a cataclysmic plot to reverse Yin and Yang is quietly set in motion. Can a frail Taoist and a lecherous rich kid join forces, wielding forbidden Maoshan arts and the bonds of love, to defy fate and turn the world upside down amid all their banter and bickering? Science? The supernatural? Nothing beats having a reliable brother! A fantastical adventure full of laughter and tears, uncovering the secrets of feng shui from ancient times to the present, begins here.
I'm very curious how the male protagonist catches ghosts like this
