   So far, the "real" spells are the best ones I have seen. They are not just making up nonsense about the eight divine spells, or randomly searching for some on the Internet. There are also some tricks that ordinary people can use. The author said that he is the most professional Taoist novel author I have ever read.

    ["Secret Techniques of Feng Shui Masters": The Game of Destiny under the Blood Dragon Veins, the Forbidden Secret Technique that Destroyed the Destiny of the Country for Three Hundred Years] A thunder from the sky split the roots of the dragon vein tree, and the blood of Canglong Mountain surged into a river. Liu Bowen's sword was dyed with evil, and he actually used the Feng Shui Killing Formation to change Zhu Yuanzhang's fate against the will of heaven - this is not a strange story in unofficial history, but the thrilling "Dragon Slaying Game" in "Secret Techniques of the Feng Shui Master". This strange book combines the earthly mysteries of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and the machinations of "The Ming Dynasty", turning the secrets of Feng Shui into the light and shadow of swords. The author uses the fragments of historical books as a guide to reveal the shocking layout of "dragon veins are the destiny of the country": Qinling's earth energy turns into a blood-colored spell, the star map of the imperial mausoleum hides the formation of life and death, and even the flying animals on the eaves of the Forbidden City are magic weapons to suppress evil spirits. When the Seven-Star Nailed Soul Stake penetrates the basalt layer, and when the compass needle trembles crazily in the blood of corpses, you will be shocked to realize that the so-called "Feng Shui" is by no means false, but a life-and-death game that affects the rise and fall of a dynasty. The book creates 108 sets of secret techniques such as "Three Talents to Cut the Dragon" and "Nine Palaces Locking Yin Technique", which turn the number of Kanyu techniques into terrifying killing moves. Liu Bowen's madness in his later years is used as a mystery to uncover the cruel rules that Feng Shui masters must face. Every change in the dragon's veins will shorten ten years of Yang life; every time a vicious evil is broken, three points of Yin debt will be incurred. When Ziweixing fell on the top of Yingtianfu city, was the figure in blue shirt holding a sword and slaying a dragon on a moonlit night saving the country, or was he brewing a greater karmic disaster? #Suspensefantasy # Secret Technique #Historical Decryption (108 hand-drawn illustrations of Feng Shui bureaus in the book will take you to the taboo scene that changes your destiny!)
