Lin Yan is the successor of the Taoist "Innate Bagua Divination Technique". Ten years ago, his father Lin Zhengqing died mysteriously due to the magic of blocking evil spirits, leaving only a seven-star compass with a blood mark. He guards the "Yanxin Pavilion" in the old city, makes a living by selling antiques and reading ordinary Feng Shui during the day, and studies the Qi pulse map at night, secretly investigating the cause of his father's death - he does not believe that his father's death is "retribution against destiny."
During a commission, he was involved in a strange case on the 18th floor of the Hengyu Center: employees contracted strange diseases, and people with fire attributes were plagued by nightmares. Lin Yan saw through the "Lihuo Formation" deployed here and used the phoenix relief as the eye of the formation to raise the "Red Flame Beast". When he was setting up a formation to suppress him, Wang Lei, a strong man, broke in to steal the relief and caused the evil spirit to backfire. The two were forced to join forces to defeat the evil thing.
The case leads to the mysterious businessman Wang Qiming, who is controlled by a ruthless black-robed man who wants to use the city's fire veins to recreate the conspiracy that killed Lin's father. Wang Lei turned out to be the son of Lin's father's old acquaintance, and the two went from conflict to comrades-in-arms.
Lin Yan followed the compass to investigate, faced pursuits and sorcery, solved his own flaw of "the hexagram of wandering souls," and adhered to his father's legacy of "hexagrams follow your heart, and never go against destiny." In the chaos of the city, he chooses between "successful" and "save the situation", and finally uses the compass to rectify his father's name and find the true "Tao".

The plot is dense, and every foreshadowing is like a hook buried in the dark. It doesn't suddenly tighten until the ending, making people's breathing slow down when turning the pages. The atmosphere creation is excellent, the cold scene description + the fragmented clues are put together. When I read it, I always felt a chill in my back, but I couldn't stop at all. Come and read it.
