Niu Fuzhi brought his family, young and old, to the temple to burn incense for the Seventh Master, and then each of them took their tools and went to work in the fields.
They didn't know that there were two people standing behind the statue. One was the local god Pan Dehai, who could hide himself and could not be seen normally.
one...
Niu Fuzhi brought his family to the temple to burn incense for the Seventh Master, and then each of them took their tools and went to work in the fields. They placed a horizontal statue in the square in front of the temple as a sacrifice for the Seventh Master. Everyone handled their own portion very seriously, and many of them came to the temple for the first time. They didn't know that there were two people standing behind the statue, one of whom was the local god Pan Dehai, who could hide his body and could not be seen normally.
Niu Fuzhi and his wife sat beside the offerings, looking respectful. They didn't know what the Seventh Master was thinking behind the scenes, but they knew this was a very important ritual. Niu Fuzhi had never been to the temple before, and this time he brought his family to offer incense oil for their grandfather. His wife didn't bring the children with her, and she had never appeared in this temple. They only knew that this was a very magical place, and he and his wife believed that the statues in this place should be real.
Niu Fuzhi's sons each brought a small piece of wood and a knife. They didn't say anything, but just quietly placed the wood next to the offerings, and everyone did the same. This made Niu Fuzhi very unsure why so much wood was needed. He only knew that these woods were used to burn some incense oil. The old lady also brought some dishes here, which she also prepared. She wanted to meet the Seventh Master and pray for the gods to bless their family.
Niu Fuzhi and his wife were waiting, and everything was quiet, without a sound. They were very peaceful, not knowing who would suddenly appear here, and this feeling made them feel comfortable. They just waited quietly, waiting for the Seventh Master to appear. They had never seen such a statue, but they believed it must exist. The statue was dim in the deep black behind, and it was difficult to see clearly, but Niu Fuzhi and his wife could still feel its presence.
Suddenly, the local god Pan Dehai appeared behind the statue. He was part of the gods. He was dressed in white and looked like a typical priest. But what made him look unusual? He was very tall and seemed to be able to see the sky. Niu Fuzhi and his wife didn't see clearly, but they knew that the person standing next to the statue was not a human. This made them feel uneasy, and they were not sure what was going on. They had been silent all along, but if there was one more person standing behind the statue, it would feel unusual.
The old lady suddenly murmured in a low voice. She thought she saw a movement, coming from nowhere, as if the shadow next to the statue moved. Niu Fuzhi and his wife also heard a little sound, which they both thought was someone's breath, but the breath seemed very unstable.
None of them knew what was going on, but they knew the gods were involved. This made them uneasy, and everyone was in a state of waiting. Niu Fuzhi and his wife had no evidence to prove that the statue actually existed, they just felt a lack of confidence in all this. They were not sure if there was a god here.
