Chapter 1: Familiar Dreams
On the day I was born, Hades ordered me.
Folklore has it that Lord Yama would flip through the book of life and death on the first day of the first lunar month, randomly click on the name, and whoever named it would go to the underworld to report within the year. Everyone in the feng shui world knows that Lord Yama only named one person's name that year, Pi Jianqing, which is my name.
Hearing the news, my parents cried a lot, saying that the person who was ordered by Lord Yama stayed at home, which would bring bad luck to the family, and this child couldn't have it. After hearing this, my grandmother scolded my parents with a serious face, and said: "This child is actually here, it is the flesh and blood of our Pi family, you are afraid of this and that, I am not afraid, this child is raised by me." After saying that, my grandmother picked me up and left the village.
After carrying me to the Chinese medicine shop in Xijiang Old Street, my grandmother made a decision and booked five marriages for me. Anyone who is willing to sign a marriage contract, grandma will give them a big gift.
After the news came out, before dawn, the people of Shili and Eight Streets came to line up outside the grandma's pharmacy with roosters and pigs' heads, in the era when you could only eat meat during the New Year, this was already a very valuable gift, and the crowd of people who proposed relatives lined up all the way to the road outside the old street, not thousands but hundreds.
It was at that time that my family knew that my grandmother Wan Taojin turned out to be a famous heavenly doctor and goddess. Unlike other feng shui masters who tell fortunes to change their lives, grandma can change people's numerology by diagnosing the pulse and performing needles, and according to legend, grandma's acupuncture method is more accurate than any hexagram master's divine calculation.
In the end, among the crowd who came to propose marriage on Shili and Eight Streets, the grandmother chose the daughters of five ordinary people, and while accepting the marriage letters of the five people, she also adjusted their pulses, so that the marriage was settled.
Since then, although I have been riddled with major illnesses and minor illnesses along the way, I have survived in the end. When I was nine years old, my grandmother took me to the Wanshou Palace, the most famous Taoist shrine in Xijiang, and before the statue of Xu Xun, the blessed lord of the world, my grandmother solemnly announced to me that from today onwards she would pass on all her life's learning to me, and that after I was eighteen years old, I would only be able to marry one of the five people she had chosen.
I said, five girls are too many, who should I choose?
My grandmother said I had no choice, because after I left the palace, I had to start pretending to be crazy and stupid, until I was eighteen years old, and the five families came to me. When the time comes, I will choose whoever doesn't break the contract, and if all five families break the contract, then I will have to keep pretending to be crazy and stupid.
After listening to this, I asked my grandmother, why do I pretend to be crazy and stupid because I am such a decent person?

Grandma's face was solemn, and she said that the matter of Hades was far from over, and that Hades would randomly point at people for nine years on the first day of the first month of the first month of every year, and that I would be nine years old, eighteen, twenty-seven years old, and so on, and so on, Lord Hades would definitely call my name, and I was nine years old this year, and only by pretending to be crazy and stupid from now on could I get through these tribulations.
I'm a little confused, since it's a random order, why is it me every time?
Grandma said that this was a heavenly opportunity, and she couldn't snoop on it.
Seeing that I looked flustered, my grandmother comforted me and told me that I don't have to worry too much, as long as I learn her skills and marry the person she chooses, it will be fine. That is, from this day on, I learned that my grandmother was a righteous Pure Ming Dao Heavenly Doctor, and Xu Xun Heavenly Master, the Lord of Universal Heavenly Blessings, was the first generation of Pure Tomorrow Master, and my grandmother was the twenty-sixth generation of Pure Tomorrow Doctor.
The heavenly doctor rescued the lonely ghosts of the two paths, pulled out the souls of ten casualties, and solved the misfortune of the pregnancy in October, the loss of the mother and the child. Those who practice heavenly medicine can accumulate supreme merits. It can be said that the Heavenly Medicine technique has an extremely important position in the Feng Shui world.
Grandma said that I have a heavenly doctor star in my eight characters, which is a kind of divine star, ordinary people can't control it, and it is easy to die violently and early, and I want to live, only by becoming a heavenly doctor like my grandmother and saving lives and helping the injured in the feng shui world, can I suppress this divine star.
I asked my grandmother, is it possible to live by devoting yourself to studying medicine?
Grandma shook her head and said that my life is hard, I am the person named by the king of Hades, and if I want to live well, I must not only learn the way of heavenly medicine, but also ponder feng shui techniques.
Heavenly doctors overcome evil, feng shui suppresses evil, only two proficient, I can spy on the heavens, completely change my fate.
After coming out of the Wanshou Ancestral Court, the trajectory of my life began to change, and while learning the Heavenly Medicine Technique, I began to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and I would giggle when I met people.
I vaguely remember that on the night of my ninth birthday, two strangers, one black and one white, came to my house, and they asked my grandmother, where am I?
When they saw my stupid appearance outside the door, their brows furrowed, but they still wanted to enter the house, until Grandma took out five engagement letters, and the two strangers turned away with gloomy faces.
I asked my grandmother who they were and why they came to me?
My grandmother said that they were black and white, and that they were taking me to that world to report, and this time she helped me stop the disaster, and nine years later, when I was eighteen years old, they would come back, and then I would have to live or die, and I would have to rely on myself.
Since then, I have been desperately learning the art of heavenly medicine, the secret method of feng shui. Others learn feng shui techniques to make money and live a good life, but I learn feng shui to save my life, so I study very hard, plus talented, my grandmother only learned most of her life Feng Shui techniques, the way of heavenly medicine, I have mastered it in nine years.
Maybe it's too much of a fool, but the five families who were engaged to my grandmother back then came to visit me a few times, and then they never came again. Even my parents knew that I had become a fool and cut off the relationship with me on the spot.
Over the years, although it was painful to pretend to be crazy and stupid, my grandmother's meticulous care made me have a good time. But when I was 17 years old, my grandmother couldn't afford to be sick, and I had to diagnose my grandmother, but my grandmother wouldn't allow it.
Before she died, my grandmother told me three things that I must remember not to disobey.
The first thing my grandmother mentioned before is that I must not reveal that I am not a fool until the five families fulfill their marriage contract, otherwise I will be in great trouble. If all five families break the contract, if I want to live, I can only pretend to be crazy and stupid to spend my life.
I can understand this matter, Hades ordered me, as long as I pretend to be stupid, Lord Hades is not willing to accept a fool.
The second thing my grandmother said made me fall into deep confusion, my grandmother said that among the five families, if someone breaks the contract and someone does not break the contract, then the broken family will definitely encounter major changes, and I can't gloat, I must help them get through the difficulties.
I can also understand this, saving lives and helping the wounded, and repaying grievances with virtue is the character of a heavenly doctor. What I can't understand the most is the second half of my grandmother's advice, as for those families who have not broken the contract, even if they encounter a catastrophe, I can't help them take care of things, otherwise there will be a major disaster.
When I heard this, I said, "This is not fair, why should those who break the covenant be helped by me, while those who keep their promises are left to fend for themselves?"
