When It Comes to Fortune-Telling, Grandpa Means Business
When the smoke of war cleared, what he brought home was not a medal, but a book capable of overturning fate.
In 1950, Lu Mancang, a young man from Matou Town in Zouping County, Shandong, set off for the Korean battlefield. Amid the raging flames of war, he saved a mysterious Taoist priest, Gan Shengrong, who gave him half of a damaged volume of The Complete Collection of the Ten Thousand Methods. It gathered the essence of dozens of esoteric texts, including The Book of Burial, Comprehensive Examination of the Three Fates, and Plum Blossom Numerology, yet was incomplete and concealed many mysteries.
After leaving the army, he traded bullets for a compass and his rifle for a hoe for gathering medicinal herbs.
Lu Mancang thought he would settle down in his hometown and use the knowledge in the book to help his neighbors. When a child wouldn't stop crying at night, he read the incense and divined the cause, then prescribed herbs. When a family's ancestral grave collected water and brought misfortune, he searched the mountains for the dragon's veins and identified a new burial site. When a couple turned against each other or a home was in turmoil, he used their birth charts to untangle their troubles. In his hands, the damaged volume's feng shui, destiny reading, and herbal medicine became part of everyday life.
Yet beneath the calm, undercurrents swirled.
When his son, Lu Jianguo, inherited his legacy, father and son were drawn into a secret world they had never imagined. The secret of the Seven-Star Town-Sealing Formation, the thousand-year conspiracy of the Netherworld Cult, and the grudges and rivalries among the various occult clans... They discovered that the damaged volume was connected to far more than everyday family affairs. It was tied to a world-shaking game of strategy, one that would determine whether their spiritual traditions endured and whether the land remained safe.
From the villages of northern Shandong to the hidden realms of Kunlun, from battlefield trenches to city skyscrapers.
This is the story of a damaged volume passed down through generations, the cultivation record of a veteran, and the true account of a father and son using the plainest folk wisdom to uncover the truth behind a thousand years of esoteric arts.
The martial world is never far away. It's right here among us.
