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

Suddenly, the waves surged mightily, and a black carp, as colossal as a small island, slowly emerged from the surface of the water, with the head of a dragon and the body of a fish, its scales dark as night.


Minjiang old lady, leaning on her walking stick, stood atop the head of the Black Carp Dragon and said, "What instructions do you have for me, Scholar?"


Chen Shi raised his hand, and the West King Jade Seal floated up, his voice solemn as he said, "Minjiang old lady, today I appoint you as the Minjiang Dragon King to manage the twelve hundred miles of Minjiang's waters. All creatures within these waters are under your command. On both banks of the Minjiang, let there be no floods, let the dikes stand firm, let the fish and shrimp be plentiful, and may the people live and work in peace and contentment!"
