In the turbulent years of the Republic, war and chaos engulf the land. Young feng shui master Lin Zhiyuan possesses the ancestral secrets of The Book of Shaking the Dragon. Hoping for a quiet life, he is forcibly conscripted by the warlord Xu Shixiong. During an expedition to an ancient tomb, he uses the precise “Star Peak Dragon-Seeking Method” and “Qi-Reading Technique” to solve mechanisms that have lain dormant for a thousand years. From then on, the warlord sees him as a man favored by fate.
Feng shui compasses are drawn into a hail of bullets. Lin Zhiyuan sets a deadly “Tiger Leaping Ravine” feng shui trap for Xu Shixiong, turning the odds against a larger force; reads the “Ghost Gate Line” to steady the troops; and pinpoints a mysterious “Dragon Acupoint,” helping Xu’s power expand at a startling pace. But Xu Shixiong’s ambition knows no bounds. His face already bears the ominous signs of a lonely, childless fate, yet he forces Lin Zhiyuan to build a “City of Rising Dragons,” hoping to defy heaven and become emperor.
Meanwhile, sinister forces from overseas quietly encroach. The Eastern Japanese Chrysanthemum Sect joins forces with secret Western cults to lay a “Soul-Devouring Evil Formation.” Forced to ally with the mysterious Netherworld Sect, Lin Zhiyuan ventures deep into Northern Mount Song and Central Mount Song, facing one thrilling feng shui battle after another. He uses “Starlight Infusion” to break “Star-Sealing Qi-Denial” and turn the tables on their dark arts.
On one side stands a brutal warlord who keeps closing in and wants to use him as a tool. On the other are sinister foreign forces, using strange methods to bring disaster to the nation and its people. How will Lin Zhiyuan dance on the edge of a blade? Is the “City of Rising Dragons” he designed with his own hands the foundation of an emperor’s dynasty, or a trap of destruction? With his own safety and the fate of his country hanging in the balance, can he stay true to himself and uncover the true principles of feng shui?
Rooted in ten feng shui classics, including The Book of the House and The Book of Shaking the Dragon, this novel grounds every formation and every acupoint selection in verifiable sources.
