Ominous! (Thanks to Yayoi Shota)

After saying that, Old Owl bent over the table and wrote down the name. He handed the paper to Xu Feng.

He assumed Xu Feng could read.

Xu Feng blew on the paper to dry the ink faster.

"Is saying this name enough?" Xu Feng asked. "Is there nothing else I need to know?"

"That's right," Old Owl said. "Just say the name.

When you have nothing else to do, you can recite it on your own. Saying this name can only do you good.

As for the taboos...

Those are widely known."

Old Owl raised one finger. "I won't list them all. Just remember that this name belongs to a dignified, orthodox leader—one you might even find rather old-fashioned.

Think of him as a great general!

You know what a great general is, don't you? He may be a likable man, even kind to his juniors.

But he won't be likable or kind to you.

With you, he'll simply do his duty.

Still, he has a compassionate heart.

So imagine that whenever you say his name, he appears behind you and watches.

If you sincerely recite his name with an upright heart when nothing is wrong, he may come to recognize you and see someone worthy of his favor. If you possess Yin Virtue, he'll be more likely to answer. That's simply how the gods of heaven and earth work.

When principles are of no use, people cast them aside like worn-out shoes. When they are, people value them more than Mount Tai.

If you call on him while practicing Corpse Stitching, relieving yourself, having sex, or doing anything of the sort, you've shown a lack of decorum and respect.

He may take offense, or even give you a lash for it. Understand that, and you'll understand the taboos
