Chen Yuan used the Six Lines method to determine that the missing person was in the attic. He found her, but the hexagram showed “two Official Ghosts”: besides the captor, someone else was lurking in the shadows.
That person never showed their face or spoke. They only quietly brought water to the imprisoned woman and left her notes.
Who were they? Why were they afraid to come forward?
To find his missing master, Chen Yuan and his disciples venture into the world of metaphysics. Plum Blossom Numerology, Qimen Dunjia, feng shui, Bazi fortune-telling, Taiyi Divination, ancient physiognomy… Each volume explores a different art, with danger at every turn. The secret organization “Eight Formations” emerges, and its elder, “Qian,” goes rogue, seeking to gather the Eight Tokens and open the legendary “City of Heavenly Secrets.” It is said to hold the ultimate secrets of the Book of Changes, and that whoever claims them can attain immortality.
Ancient tombs in the Western Regions, underground palaces in Kunlun, the nine levels of the City of Heavenly Secrets… Chen Yuan discovers that he is the reincarnation of the Gatekeeper.
Hexagrams can reveal fortune and misfortune, but they cannot see through the human heart. Some hexagrams can be read, but not resolved.
