“There’s nothing to discuss! Your house is too dirty—I don’t want to go in and invite bad luck.” Shui Miao waved his hands repeatedly, turned around, and walked away while saying, “Your hall of fate is dark, a sign of being surrounded by misfortune. You also chase women, and your bald head shows that your vital energy is completely drained. On top of that, you’ve done despicable things. If you don’t resolve this quickly, I predict you won’t survive until dawn tomorrow. I’m a friend of Xiao Hong’s, and since you’re her master, I’m helping you out of obligation. Don’t even think about paying me.”
Shui Miao waved again and left through the door.
Xiao Hong and the others quickly followed him out, surrounding Shui Miao and whispering questions about what despicable things Wei Sheng had done.
Seeing that Shui Miao ignored him, Wei Sheng stood at the doorway, half doubtful.
With a flicker of intent, Shui Miao summoned the White Phoenix and the Black Snake Demoness. Instantly, a cold wind blew through the villa, rattling the doors and windows. The two beautiful women sleeping naked in the bedroom were awakened by the noise. Suddenly seeing a large black python on the bed, they screamed in terror and ran out completely naked…
“Ahh! So this is what our master is really like!”
“Oh no, how embarrassing! They weren’t wearing a stitch of clothing…”
“What a terrible person! We won’t recognize him as our master anymore.”
Xiao Hong and the others whispered among themselves.
The two naked women, still shaken, hid behind Wei Sheng, frantically shouting about the snake.
“Let’s go. We’ll find a quiet place to sit.”
With the White Phoenix and Black Snake Demoness inside, there was no doubt Wei Sheng would be terrified. Shui Miao didn’t worry much and simply led Xiao Hong and the others away. It was almost dawn, and no restaurants were open. Except for the dormitory, there was nowhere else quiet to go. Thus, Xiao Hong brought Shui Miao to the dormitory. Seeing the room filled with bras and underwear, Shui Miao chose another spot and led everyone up to the rooftop. He asked them to tell him about Wei Sheng and whether anyone was missing from the circus.
After investigation, Shui Miao learned that Wei Sheng had always been very strict with the group, often withholding salaries, and even demanding that everyone wear revealing clothes like short skirts. Additionally, two girls from the circus had recently disappeared—one named Xiao Yang and the other Cai Ping. Based on Wei Sheng’s reaction earlier, Shui Miao concluded that the two girls were already dead, and the murderer was none other than Wei Sheng himself.
Originally, the group had planned to ask Wei Sheng about the upcoming performance schedule. Now that this had happened, Shui Miao told everyone to stay in the dormitory and not go anywhere. As dawn approached, Shui Miao went to a nearby park, sat on a bench, closed his eyes, and focused his spiritual senses.
After sunrise, Shui Miao switched his pure yang immortal energy to pure yin. Since he wasn’t fully activating his powers, his skin didn’t appear as dark. Not long after, Xiao Hong led an elderly woman to him. It turned out that Xiao Hong and the others came from poor backgrounds and had grown up in the circus, always being taken care of by this elderly woman, Auntie Xie. Upon learning that Shui Miao was a master of feng shui, Xiao Hong and the others wanted to ask him to check Auntie Xie’s home feng shui.
Shui Miao readily agreed and went with them to Auntie Xie’s home.
Auntie Xie lived in a residential complex on the second floor. As soon as Shui Miao entered the house, he sensed the presence of ghosts—men, women, the elderly, and children, likely an entire family. Looking around the house, Shui Miao noticed that Auntie Xie had not performed any house blessing rituals, and he immediately suspected the issue.
After listening to Auntie Xie’s complaints, Shui Miao understood her problem. She had lived in this house for a long time, and every time her son returned from abroad and stayed in the house, he would fall ill. As soon as he left, he recovered completely. It was very strange, and she wanted Shui Miao to help find out what was wrong. Without hesitation, Shui Miao walked straight into the room and spoke with the family of ghosts living there. Xiao Hong and Auntie Xie, unable to see the ghosts, were frightened by Shui Miao’s one-sided conversation.
After a while, Shui Miao directly told Auntie Xie, “You’ve always spoiled your son, making him disobedient and disrespectful. Since childhood, he never listened to his father and only followed your lead. Now the old man no longer recognizes his son and thus won’t let him come back. What hurt the old man most was that you sent your son overseas without letting him know. Out of respect for your past marriage, he didn’t make things difficult for you. Otherwise, he would have driven you away too.”
Seeing that Shui Miao’s words were true, Auntie Xie hurried into the room, crying and begging for forgiveness. She admitted her mistake, saying that money was hard to earn and that her son had suffered greatly abroad. She pleaded with her late husband not to make things hard for her son anymore.
After communicating with the old man, he agreed to back down out of respect for Shui Miao.
Shui Miao then had Xiao Hong help Auntie Xie up and told her that the old man had two conditions: first, her son must host a banquet, return home, kowtow, apologize, and repent for his wrongdoings. Second, he must use his own money to buy a burial plot for his parents, otherwise the entire family of spirits would have nowhere to live.
Auntie Xie was shocked, not understanding who this “entire family” was.
Shui Miao explained that it was her late in-laws and her daughter’s family, who had died in a car accident.
Auntie Xie’s daughter had married into the mountains, and she had no idea that her daughter’s entire family had already passed away. Upon hearing this, she was deeply shocked. She quickly searched for her daughter’s phone number, but the calls wouldn’t go through. Xiao Hong and the others helped by calling 114 to find the village chief’s number in the mountains. After making the call, they learned that Auntie Xie’s daughter’s family had indeed died, and even the two elderly parents had passed away some time ago.
Upon hearing this tragic news, Auntie Xie was heartbroken.
Shui Miao said nothing and quietly left.
After crying for a while, Auntie Xie called her son and told him to come back and hold the banquet to apologize to his father. At noon, following Shui Miao’s instructions, everything was resolved, and her son no longer experienced symptoms like dizziness and vomiting. As a result, Shui Miao caused a sensation. Locals with strange occurrences in their homes began coming to ask for his help.

Another case involved a couple in their forties with a teenage child. Originally, they had a happy and loving marriage, but in recent years, the husband suddenly changed, started demanding a divorce, and hadn’t returned home for six months. The wife suspected a feng shui problem. Shui Miao entered the house and noticed that the bedroom had a glass-enclosed bathroom like in a hotel, complete with a toilet, and the bathroom door directly faced the bed. After asking, he learned that their relationship had deteriorated after the bathroom was installed. Additionally, they used groundwater for the toilet. Shui Miao sensed that beneath the house was originally a foul-smelling river, filled with impure, malevolent, and inauspicious energies. How could their relationship remain good?
Shui Miao instructed the woman to demolish the bathroom and stop using the groundwater.
Then, he burned some enchanted paper and restructured the five elements of the house to dispel the bad luck. He also placed the husband’s birth date and time under the pillow.
Interestingly, as soon as he finished, the husband called back, saying he suddenly missed home, felt guilty, and apologized.
The woman was so excited that she hugged Shui Miao tightly and gave him a heartfelt kiss.

Another case involved a migrant worker couple with little money who had rented an old house.
Since moving in, the couple had never slept well. They grew increasingly anxious, their work became difficult, and their tempers worsened. They suspected the house had serious issues.
Shui Miao visited and found several problems.
First, the house was very old, with cracked walls and water seepage, which in feng shui directly affects the mind, potentially causing migraines. Second, the bed head faced a window, symbolizing a lack of support, directly affecting career luck. Third, there was a painting of a fierce tiger on the wall. The couple were both born in the Year of the Dog, so the tiger glaring at the two dogs meant they couldn’t live peacefully. Most critically, the bed was an old one left by the landlord. Many people had slept on it, including the sick, leaving behind negative magnetic fields. Sleeping on it meant absorbing these negative energies, leading to worsening health.
With so many issues, it was no wonder their health and luck were bad.
That’s why the poor stay poor, and the rich get richer.
The poor are busy struggling for daily survival, with no time to consider feng shui. They work hard without direction, making them poorer. Meanwhile, many wealthy people believe in feng shui and hire experts to make appropriate adjustments, improving the feng shui of their ancestral graves and homes. With good fortune flowing in, it’s hard not to become rich. But for the poor, even if their destiny promises good luck, various malevolent energies interfere, nullifying their good fortune and keeping them poor.
Shui Miao explained the solutions to the couple. Due to their poor conditions, he didn’t charge them a penny.

Another case involved a newlywed couple who had been married for a short time. Not only were they unable to conceive, but they also frequently had nightmares.
Shui Miao entered their new home and noticed many photos hanging around. Additionally, a mirror on the dressing table directly faced the bed, and a TV on the other side also faced the bed. The room was quite cluttered. With his spiritual perception, Shui Miao was shocked to discover that someone had performed evil rituals beneath the bed.
Shui Miao immediately asked the young man to remove the bedding and cut open the mattress with scissors. Inside, they found two red paper packages—one containing scissors with the couple’s birth dates and a curse saying “cut off descendants,” and the other containing many rusty needles with the same birth dates. Seeing these, the couple immediately realized—they had been cursed!
Finding out who placed the curse was difficult.
Shui Miao devised a method to fight evil with evil. He asked the young man to bring a brazier, lit a fire, and placed the two items inside to burn them while cursing. Not long after, someone outside shouted that a fire had broken out, and a woman was burned alive.
Shui Miao didn’t say much, but he knew it was the woman who had cast the curse.
Those who cast curses often use evil spirits.
These spirits attach to the scissors and needles, harming the cursed person.
Usually, these spirits are simple-minded, unable to distinguish good from evil.
When the master discovers the spirits, burning and cursing them makes the spirits realize they’ve done something wrong. Because they suffer the pain of fire, they become vengeful and retaliate against those who used them, making the evil people suffer the same pain—this is the spirits’ way of revenge.
The woman being burned alive was the spirits’ doing.
After learning this, the couple suddenly understood. The woman had previously argued with them and worked at the mattress factory—so if she didn’t place the curse, who else could have?
Additionally, mirrors facing the bed easily cause nightmares. The TV screen is also a mirror, similarly causing nightmares. Combined with the messy room disrupting the energy field, all these flaws together caused the problems.

After visiting several homes, Shui Miao was invited by a group of young women.
This young woman was a white-collar worker at a company. Her house had no issues, but her goal was to ask Shui Miao to enhance her financial luck.
Seeing her gentle appearance, eloquent speech, and knowing she was a good friend of Xiao Hong’s, Shui Miao agreed to help.
The first thing Shui Miao focused on was the rice cooker.
In ancient times, the stove was the most important item in a home. People paid great attention to it, offering food during festivals because the stove truly represented the head of the household. In modern times, people no longer use traditional stoves, but the spiritual essence has transferred to the rice cooker. Naturally, the kitchen’s position is primary—the stove must be placed in a favorable direction, and the rice cooker should be placed in the best position. The rice cooker belongs to the fire element, and its placement direction affects the overall feng shui. Placing it northward (water element) creates a “Water-Fire Harmony” favorable omen, signifying peace and safety. Placing it east or southeast (wood element) creates a “Wood-Fire Mutual Generation” favorable omen, meaning the family often receives help from influential people. Placing it northeast (earth element) creates a “Fire-Earth Mutual Generation” favorable omen. Placing it southward (fire element) results in an excessive fire element, which is also favorable. Placing it west or northwest (metal element) creates an unfavorable omen, meaning unstable fortune. Placing it southwest (earth element) corresponds to an inauspicious hexagram, with the illness star. The fire element of the rice cooker enhances this negativity, meaning the family often falls ill.
The young woman’s rice cooker was placed westward, so Shui Miao turned it to face due east.
Next, since the young woman worked as a secretary at the company, Shui Miao placed her desk in the “Wen Chang” position (literary fortune) in the east of her room and advised her to purchase a Wen Chang pagoda to enhance literary fortune.
Then, he identified her home’s wealth position based on her birth year and placed a God of Wealth statue there, advising daily offerings to enhance financial luck.
Seeing Shui Miao speak so knowledgeably, the young woman couldn’t help but develop a fondness for him, and her gaze at him subtly changed.
Knowing his own bad luck with love, Shui Miao quickly made an excuse to leave.
But the young woman insisted on giving him a red envelope. After going downstairs, Shui Miao opened it and found not only cash but also a small note with her name, phone number, and a single sentence… “Are you free tonight?”
