Knife-Seller Who Owes Fate

They are wandering prophets who understand feng shui and travel the world with a pack full of cleavers and scissors. Wherever they go, whatever they see, they usually leave behind a prophecy.

“Leave this kitchen cleaver here for now. If an elder in your family dies of consumption five years from now, I’ll come back to collect the money.”

They inherit a lineage from the distant Daoist schools: with a sharp tongue they decide life and death, with divine calculation they determine heaven and earth, and by foretelling what will happen after your death, they ask: who are the debt-collecting blade sellers?”
