Secret Files on Subduing Evil

I had a master who kept his true abilities hidden. He gave me a fragment of a map, taught me a secret art, and drew me into a scheme. In the late 1980s, I traveled far and wide, reading the lay of the land and the flow of water, judging homes and locating burial sites, unraveling schemes and breaking formations... At first, old hands called me Little Song. Then it was Master Song, then the revered Half-Immortal Song. In the end, I became nothing more than a code in some sealed storeroom: “Dragon Vein, A-1.” Of the dragon veins across the Nine Provinces, only I can read them! Only later did I learn that the hardest thing to deal with in the underworld isn’t evil spirits. It’s the human heart.
