Quick answerWhat does Zeng Shan Bu Yi say about Huyen Vu?
Zeng Shan Bu Yi has its own Six Spirits chapter (chapter 18) discussing the six beasts, in which it says Huyen Vu governs theft and robbery. The book argues against judging fortune and misfortune by the name of the beast alone, holding that the six beasts are only auxiliary spirits and that what decides is still the generation and overcoming of the five elements. In the preface, the book mentions that when Huyen Vu meets the Siblings and there is an active Officials and Ghosts line clashing with the Self line, one should guard against theft and robbers and secret lovers.
