Zhai Zhu

My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.
Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.
I am fearful of him too.
Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.
Even grandfather is afraid of me.
...
My name is Chen Shi.
The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

Above the Great Dao

Chen Shi controlled the Golden Core, flying about in the Red Mountain Hall, and unwittingly came to the backyard, his heart moved slightly, "The Hall Master has been at the Red Mountain Lady's place for several days and hasn't come out. Could it be that the evil transformation is really severe?"


Quietly, the Golden Core sneaked into the backyard. Just then, a child with a sky-reaching braid, dressed in a white bellyband embroidered with red peonies, jumped in front of the Golden Core, blocking Chen Shi's Golden Core, and said, "Scholar, without summons, you cannot enter!"


This sky-reaching braid child was the spiritual embodiment of Crane Child, tasked with guarding the backyard to prevent the intrusion of idlers.


Being a spiritual entity, it saw through the black Golden Core as Chen Shi's, and thus blocked him.


Chen Shi retracted his Golden Core, and seeing it return, Crane Child finally felt relieved and went back into the porcelain crane body.
