The modern city coexists with a hidden world of mysticism. The world is divided into the realms of yin and yang; mountains and rivers conceal dragon veins and earth energy, while the feng shui of homes and estates can bring fortune or misfortune. Practitioners of the mystic arts belong to various schools, including feng shui masters, physiognomists, talisman masters, yin-yang specialists, corpse drivers, and independent tomb raiders. They uphold the ancestral creed of "following Heaven's will to change fate and guiding yin and yang toward harmony." Yet evil practitioners also use feng shui secrets to kill for profit and steal dragon energy, disrupting the balance of yin and yang. Ordinary people know nothing of the mystic arts and dismiss them as feudal superstition. Only powerful officials, wealthy families, and great clans truly understand the extraordinary power of feng shui and metaphysics.
