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 and Li Tianqing had not seen each other for many days, were up all night, gathered in a room, talking about what they had seen and heard in the past days.


When they got to the part about Chen Shi's name being erased by the Black Pot, they became animated, and Chen Shi glanced up at the window, only to see the Black Pot standing outside, leaning on the window and watching them silently, eavesdropping on their conversation.


Seeing Chen Shi and Li Tianqing's gaze sweep over, the Black Pot hastily retracted its head.


The two of them quietly got up, went to the window, and peeked out stealthily, finding the Black Pot laying under the carriage, feigning sleep.


Chen Shi spoke about how he let his Golden Core perform Soul Emergence to spy on the Black Pot entering the underworld to search for a book, saying, "I suspect that my grandfather found the Black Pot near that palace back then, but he didn't see the name of the palace."
