Taoism in the Republic of China: I Rely on the Compass to Navigate the World

Lu Jiuxuan, a folk warlock and successor of ancient martial arts, carries a compass and navigates troubled times. During the Republic of China, the west wind spread eastward, and foreign guns could not suppress the evil spirits. Only Xuanmen suppressed the underworld. He understands Feng Shui, can exorcise evil spirits, and can determine everything with a spell. When he first entered the world, he encountered a case of a water ghost on the pier. He uncovered the body and solved the problem, but was robbed of the credit by a goddess. Warlords begging for hexagrams, female ghosts asking for their lives, crying in foreign-style buildings, souls being pulled from the subway... A series of weird things happened. There is no golden finger, relying on one's unique skills to be tough and charming. In this world, if you can't be killed with a gun, let him kill you!
