    This story tells of a Taoist who enters the secular world for spiritual cultivation. While encountering various paranormal events, he discovers that the complexities of human relationships are a hundred times greater than his spiritual practice. The story incorporates elements of feng shui, folk customs, scientific explanations, Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination), and various principles of the I Ching. It also uses metaphysical and scientific methods to explain some seemingly unscientific and bizarre events.
