   I highly recommend this book. It's a very realistic book. Each day is a short story, presented without dragging. The myriad aspects of life are simply presented as individual tales. What's rare is that much of the knowledge in fortune telling and physiognomy can be applied directly. It's an excellent introductory book. 🥰🤭

   There are countless lineages of Dharma in the world. Yet one must know where one's own destiny leads. My path of incense offering also has its own internal and external, five-elemental connections, which cannot be generalized. When the time is not right, one may search high and low without finding it. When the time is right, even the vastness of the Three Realms and the depth of the Five Elements leave no place to hide.

    One of the main characters is a complete novice who is forcibly brought along by a lewd old man claiming to be the number one Taoist master, a gossipy fat man, and a mysterious internet-addicted loli to form the strongest ghost-catching team. The other main character is a genius Taoist master from Longhu Mountain who has not appeared in a century, but he foresaw that he would not be able to escape his heavenly tribulation at the age of 28, so he began to give up and play around with life. He originally thought that the most terrifying thing in the world was ghosts and monsters, but he did not expect that the human heart's schemes were far more terrifying than that...
