    The first book dissects human nature, piercing through the good and evil of the world. The human heart is always the most terrifying thing in the world. "The King of Feng Shui" is well worth reading, a treasure trove. Many say "Exorcising Evil" has a bad ending, is idiotic, and uninteresting; that's because they haven't seen its worth. It's truly moving and unforgettable. The description of the real psychology and helplessness when facing birth, aging, sickness, and death, and then the eventual acceptance, is truly captivating. "The Secret Techniques of Qimen Feng Shui" is also excellent, with patriotic sentiment and supernatural feng shui elements, making you feel like you're there. It doesn't have the overpowered protagonist in the beginning, but rather a relatively realistic narrative. Those unfamiliar with it might think the author truly knows feng shui and Qimen Dunjia techniques, as the explanations are very detailed.
