House Feng Shui: Stories of Homes
Chang Jiu is a real estate agent with a secret identity: a feng shui master specializing in homes. While his clients look at the properties and their locations, he looks at the "qi" as soon as he steps inside.
"A locust tree in front of the door doesn't attract wealth, it invites disaster." "A mirror facing the bed brings ruin to the family." "A stove placed over a water pipe means money will flow away." These old sayings aren't superstition; they're the accumulated wisdom of thousands of years of home feng shui.
When Chang Jiu takes clients to view properties, he can tell at a glance which ones are haunted. A stove visible as soon as you enter means money down the drain; doors facing each other bring endless quarrels; a beam overhead will make anyone who lives there sick. But some houses aren't plagued by bad feng shui. Someone has deliberately set things up. A millstone spins by itself in the middle of the night, a withered hand reaches up from beneath a nursing home, and a faceless woman steps out of a mirror... Behind every "haunted house" lurks an organization called the Doorbreakers.
Before his master died, he told Chang Jiu to find an old mansion, saying that once he did, he'd know who he really was. But when Chang Jiu pushes open the door, he discovers that someone has tampered with the feng shui of the homes throughout the city.
The secrets of home feng shui are hard to explain and harder to fathom. But Chang Jiu has this to say: no matter how sinister a house is, its residents deserve to feel safe. Open this book to learn feng shui, break evil formations, and pick up tips for avoiding trouble when choosing a home.
