   The author authentically recreates the dialect, language, and taboos of Northeast China during that era, weaving together true stories and legends with the author's own imagination. The story is engaging and entertaining, blending truth and fiction, much like the saying "heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, yet cannot be kept secret." It's a wonderful work of folklore and feng shui fiction.

While experiencing various paranormal events, he discovers that the complexities of human relationships are a hundred times greater than his spiritual practice. The story involves feng shui, folk customs, scientific explanations, Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination), and various principles of the I Ching.
