The Wind and Heaven

Hu Jin, a teenager from Henan, drops out of school and travels to Baqiao, Xi'an, where he is stuck working as a kitchen helper, believing his life is destined for toil. But one rainy autumn night, he encounters the reclusive mystic Chen Lao, and from then on, he delves into the arts of Bazi numerology, Plum Blossom Yijing, and Yin-Yang Feng Shui. After four years of rigorous study, he completes his training at the age of twenty-one, adopting the name 'Jin Bu' and adhering to his master's three precepts: not to use his arts for profit, not to defy fate to alter death calamities, and to use divination only to help others. Xun (Wind) conceals yin and sinister mysteries, while Qian (Heaven) determines fate and fortune; together, they represent the myriad phenomena of the human world. From a villa in Xianyang haunted by spirit tablets to an old house afflicted by sharp-cornered feng shui, and hidden death calamities in one's destiny... walking the world, he encounters countless ordinary families plagued by bad luck and exposes numerous fraudulent feng shui masters. Each eerie household incident and each fatal twist of fate lies within the hexagrams of Xun and Qian. With inner fire burning away worldly calamities, he uses divination to unravel the schemes of fate. Walking the path of yin and yang alone, he only saves those whose lives are fraught with hardship and who have no one to turn to. — Description from novelcodex.org
