The fog in Chongqing can hide ghosts, but not people's hearts.
Xuan Linzi, a native of Yunyang, Chongqing, was born in the Maoshan Dharma lineage and inherited the mantle of the Yuanhuang sect. Wearing a green preacher's robe, carrying a family heirloom peach wood sword, and carrying the Six Emperors copper coin compass, he walked between Sichuan and Chongqing. His inheritance of Taoism comes from his father, a well-known local folk mage who is proficient in Maoshan Talisman and Yuanhuang magic. He had been affected by the disease since he was a child, and was rescued by Fu Shui after he fell seriously ill at the age of eighteen, and has since embarked on the road. Later, he studied at Qingyang Palace in Chengdu, where he received enlightenment from an old Taoist priest. It took him eleven years to understand what he wanted in life - to carry the Tao with the Dharma.
He does not avoid evil and must attack demons whenever he encounters them. He uses the Maoshan Talisman, the Yuanhuang Meishan Soldiers and Horses, the Five Thunder Fire Talisman, and the Black Mountain Shadow Collection Technique to fight evil ways and deal with evil spirits. He enters haunted houses, explores ancient tombs, destroys evil formations, and points out dragon lairs to help the living feel at ease and the dead to rest in peace. In his stories, there are creepy and strange events, amazing Feng Shui decryptions, and simple truths that directly touch people's hearts——
Ghosts are not scary, what is scary is the human heart. Feng shui is not a superstition, it is a way of getting along with the environment. Peace of mind is the greatest feng shui.
This is not a supernatural novel made up out of thin air, but a documentary-style work based on Master Peng of Chongqing and Taoist Priest Xuan Linzi of Hongen Palace. Every case has a basis in reality, and every talisman, every trick, and every set of Feng Shui rituals are well documented. The secret of the Maoshan Talisman, the summons of the Yuan Emperor's Meishan soldiers and horses, the secret of observing rice in a water bowl, and the knowledge of choosing a day in the underworld - the author uses his profound professional knowledge to restore Taoism into a kind of wisdom that can be understood and awe-inspiring.

Having skills but no way is hollow. If there is way but no skills, the skills can still be sought.
The writing is very true. The local cases and allusions mentioned by the author are all familiar to people. Are there any book friends in Sichuan and Chongqing? . .
