Yin-Yang Diviner

Chapter 1: The Ancestral Commandments

My name is Xi Feng. From the moment I was born, it was predetermined that I would never live an ordinary life, because my family was a unique one. My mother was an ordinary woman, but my father was an extraordinary man, and his profession was one of a kind in the whole world.

When I was a child, in our ancient town, the old tradition still held that men supported the family while women cared for their husbands and raised their children. My father's mysterious profession had been passed down through nine generations, and he strictly followed the ancestral commandments, keeping it secret even from his wife. My mother was a woman who followed the rules. If Father didn't tell her, she never asked. So even after being married to him for many years, Mother still had no idea what kind of business Father was in.

So what was my father's profession? A specialty shop for ghost affairs! These so-called ghost affairs were exclusively for ghosts. Whether a ghost was sick or injured, bullied by other ghosts, or suffered any kind of injustice in the human world, the shop took care of it all. As for the living, it didn't deal with them at all.

The man who passed down this profession was my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. He was once a disciple of the Maoshan sect and learned authentic Maoshan arts. After setting out on his own, he exorcised ghosts and vanquished demons, earning a formidable reputation in the martial world. In his old age, he came to understand a certain truth. You could say it was his conclusion, too.
