[Practical urban mysticism] [Feng shui, Taoist medicine, Qimen arts, talismans, physiognomy] [Useful know-how] [A scientific explanation of mysticism]
The Old Ancestor passed down a whole set of skills to me in a dream. When I woke up, I found that I was a poor young man running a stall on Antique Street, while she was a caged bird her family had raised as a “living sacrifice” for twenty-three years.
Where’s the justice in that?
I use my yin-yang eyes to tell real antiques from fakes, while she uses her baleful constitution to ward off every evil spirit that clings to us. From street vendor to alliance leader, from fighting alone to joining forces as husband and wife, from battling evil cultivators to a war beyond the heavens...
Practical mysticism: feng shui for choosing a home, physiognomy for reading people, luck-boosting talismans, the fortunes associated with phone numbers, the secrets hidden in profile pictures...
Scientific explanations: baleful energy is magnetic-field disruption, talismans are energy resonance, and yin-yang eyes are the awakening of the pineal gland.
A powerful couple who dote on each other: he is all bark and a soft heart, while she is gentle on the outside and strong within. They save each other from death and face every challenge side by side.
I guide the world through the mortal realm, with her at my side.
