[Mystery and the supernatural] + [Folklore] + [Period] + [Getting rich]
After Zhao Guodong was reborn, he awakened the Complete Book of Lu Ban.
The first volume teaches you how to build a home and bring blessings. The second teaches you how to use curses to torment people.
From then on, Master Zhao became someone no one within ten miles dared to cross.
The village bully wants to skip out on a debt? Bury an upside-down scarecrow beneath his doorstep, and his family will lose everything and be left living hand to mouth!
The neighbor builds a towering house that blocks your good fortune? Hang a ghost at the grindstone from the rafters, and you’ll hear wailing every night until the whole family is driven to the brink of a nervous breakdown!
A villain wants to set a fire? Use focused sunlight to set up a Golden Crow Burns the Heavens formation, and make him suffer the consequences of his own actions!
Someone asked him, “Master Zhao, isn’t this just feudal superstition?”
Zhao Guodong grinned.
“This is called environmental psychology. You have to believe in science.”
