   [Shocking!] The first book, originally titled "Miraculous Techniques to Change Fate," was shut down due to its involvement with too many industry peers. You read that right, it really was shut down! It includes methods, illustrations, and the author will interact with you—no problem, just ask if you don't understand. [Sparrow's Masterpiece] The second book, "The Art of Character Divination," is full of witty remarks, revealing success or failure, ability or inability, with a single word. May everything go smoothly, peacefully, and healthily!

   "If you don't write, tonight, Chang'an will be utterly wiped out." The gray, ethereal thought, devoid of joy or anger, was utterly cold, like a judgment descended by the heavens, or a summons from chaos itself. Yuan Tiangang trembled. He looked at the dying people of the city, at the two ancient characters "Bodhi" on the sky, at the blank scroll on the stone table that seemed to swallow the heavens and earth. Finally, he reached out. The instant his fingertips touched the ink brush, his fingertips vanished. Not injured, not broken, but simply dissolved into nothingness, as if they had never existed. The ink brush automatically absorbed his divine soul power, and on the blank scroll, it made its first stroke. This stroke was not of mortal ink. It was a falling star, a reversal of heaven and earth. A picture slowly appeared on the scroll: the sun and moon in the same sky, yin and yang embracing, two streams of energy, one black and one white, forming a circle. Within the circle were no words, yet ten thousand secret patterns flowed. Beside it, a line of small characters appeared out of thin air: "The vast heavens and earth, without end, the sun and moon cycle, endlessly repeating." The first image, complete. Yuan Tiangang collapsed to the ground, staring at his vanished fingertips, at the strange diagram on the stone table, at the fading "Bodhi" on the sky, and finally understood—he wasn't writing a prophecy.

    Reader note

    👉👉👉 Superb! 🍎 This is the strongest novel on the theme of shamanism I've ever read, highly recommended for readers who enjoy this genre. 🍀 From Wu Xiaofan's trials and tribulations to Shen Xing's recollections... The book is primarily a narrative of memories, interspersed with numerous insights gained from these experiences, gently guiding readers and emphasizing the principle of moderation in doing good throughout. 🌹 1. Do what is within your capabilities; do not easily interfere in the karma of others. Helping others must be within your capabilities and only when they ask for your help. Wu Xiaofan's journey from initial pure kindness to later helping only when he is able (after the person asks for his help first) is one of stumbling and growing maturity. 🌹 2. The boundary between Buddhism, Taoism, and shamanism. The line between Buddhism and Taoism is clear, and it is wrong to either suppress Buddhism and promote Taoism or vice versa. Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, or shamanism, it is a hand pointing to the moon, a practice aimed at the heart. No matter which one, as long as it is righteous thought and righteous action, they all lead to the same destination and are within the scope of practice... You and I are all on the Tao! 🌹 3. The chaos of shamanism and the chaos in the practice world. Wu Xiaofan recorded the chaos of shamanism in Northeast China based on his own experience. The client was completely unaware, and the shamans were spouting nonsense with the aim of making money... Whether the client's problem is solved depends on their own karma and whether their initial intention is correct (some are to solve the problem, some are to make money through shamanism, and some are to show off their spiritual connection...). All sorts of things, broadly speaking, lead to the chaos in the practice world, hence the many monks and Taoists at the gates of hell. 🌹 4. The wonderful characters Uncle Ma, Little Ma, Shen Xing, Sister Wang, etc. In the text are very relatable. Uncle Ma, who loves to exorcise demons and is stingy; Little Ma, who loves to take advantage but is incredibly clever; Shen Xing, handsome, multi-talented, and with eyes like morning stars; and Sister Wang, who is eccentric but speaks the truth. Hahahaha... There's also the adorable Dinosaur Immortal and a bunch of little dragons. The characters are vividly portrayed and leap off the page! 🌹 5. Cherish our peaceful life now. In places we can't see, there are guardians protecting our peaceful lives. They are the police or border guards you can see and various spiritual practitioners we can't see. We should cherish the peace and joy we have now, for it seems easy but is actually hard to come by. 🌹 6. So-called benefactors are based on oneself. One is the foundation of spiritual practice. Whether you want help from benefactors or peace and smooth sailing, cultivating oneself with righteous thoughts and actions is the right path. Otherwise, even if a benefactor comes, they won't know where you are. 🌹 7. Everything that happens is for my benefit, whether it's helping or guiding. We are all on the path... Let us encourage each other and wish Wu Banxian's book great success and widespread popularity. May the Dao be found within Banxian's book, and may everyone find what they need. Best wishes to all...
