Collection of Gods

Chapter 967 The incense flourishes
As Qian Cheng's voice fell, everyone turned their eyes to Qian Cheng. However, Wang Yayuan, who was standing next to Qian Cheng, blushed inexplicably, lowered her head and looked at her toes, a little embarrassed to meet everyone's gaze.

"and many more……"

"Can anyone tell me what deity is enshrined in Yuanjun Temple?"

Xie Chengrun scratched his head and subconsciously looked at Wang Longze beside him. He grew up in Thailand, a Buddhist country. If he was asked to identify Buddha statues, he would be fine, but for him, except for a few particularly famous Taoist gods, he knew very little about other gods.

"Don't look at me. I don't know either."

Wang Longze saw Xie Chengrun looking at him and couldn't help but spread his hands.

After hearing this, Xie Chengrun finally turned his gaze to Zhou Tongren.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist. The main deity enshrined in the Yuanjun Hall is a Taoist goddess. Our Tianmu Taoist Temple's Yuanjun Hall mainly enshrines five Taoist goddesses. The middle one is the Celestial Mother Goddess Bixia Yuanjun. She is an important goddess in Taoism and one of the most influential goddesses in Chinese history. On the left and right sides of Bixia Yuanjun are the Goddess of Childbirth, the Goddess of Childbirth, the Goddess of Vision, and the Goddess of Smallpox."

Zhou Tongren smiled slightly. Seeing that Xie Chengrun, Wang Longze and others didn't know much about Yuanjun Palace, he took the initiative to introduce it to everyone.

Just when Zhou Tongren was talking about the Goddess of Childbirth and the Goddess of Fertility, Xie Chengrun, Wang Longze and others all said "Oh" in tacit understanding, and at the same time looked at Qian Cheng and Wang Yayuan with somewhat ambiguous eyes.

"You guys are such big-headed ghosts!"

"Yayuan and I are a legal married couple with a certificate, and we have already had our wedding. Now we are planning to have a child. What's wrong with going to Yuanjun Temple to pay our respects?"

Qian Cheng knew the personalities of these people. He did not give them a chance to tease him and said confidently, "You bunch of singles don't understand the happiness of married people at all!"

"Depend on!"

"Brother Cheng, your group attack has maxed out your hatred!"

Wang Longze cried out in surprise, then shook his head: "Forget it, forget it. I'll save some face for you. After you finish worshipping at the Jade Emperor Temple, you can go to the Yuanjun Temple first. After that, come to the God of Wealth Temple to find us."

"Okay, it's settled!"

Qian Cheng nodded, and after making an appointment with everyone, they did not waste any more time and walked towards the Jade Emperor Temple together.

The Jade Emperor Hall, actually also known as the Lingxiao Hall, has four coiled dragon pillars in the middle of the hall. The entire hall is a brick and wood structure with a hip roof and a combination of through-and-raised beams. It is a large hall with a width of three rooms. The hall is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings. In the hall, the Jade Emperor sits in the main niche wearing an imperial crown and a dragon robe. He looks dignified and majestic.

Qian Cheng and others lined up patiently, and when it was their turn to worship, they all used the authentic method of worship they had just learned from Zhou Tongren, and worshiped devoutly to the Jade Emperor.

Afterwards, Qian Cheng and Wang Yayuan went to the Yuanjun Temple to worship, while all the rest went to the God of Wealth Temple.

"Ouch!"

"This man!"

"The queue has stretched outside the palace?"

Yao Lei looked at the long dragon-like team in front of the Temple of the God of Wealth. He couldn't help but secretly click his lips and sighed twice.

Lin Ziyang echoed, "It's not just the crowds. Look at the incense. I know they're burning incense. I would have thought there was a fire inside!"

"The God of Wealth Temple is very popular, that's inevitable!"

"Anyone who can be stingy in front of the God of Wealth must be doing his best!"

"After all, in this world, money can solve 99% of the troubles!"

Xie Chengrun came to the end of the long queue and lined up, responding to the topics discussed by everyone.

"Fortunately, fortunately..."

"We are all rich people!" Wang Longze patted his chest and then said, "But if possible, I want to be even richer!"

"Nonsense, who doesn't want to be richer!"

Everyone chatted and laughed to kill time.

After waiting in line for half an hour, they finally arrived...

At the entrance of the Temple of the God of Wealth!
At this moment, they saw the scene inside the Temple of the God of Wealth. They saw that the wealthy Tianmu Taoist Palace had built the Temple of the God of Wealth extremely magnificently and directly enshrined five statues, which are commonly known as the Five Gods of Wealth, and they can all be seen here.

"Fellow Taoists, the five statues before you are the Five Wealth Gods, also known as the Five Great Wealth Gods in the orthodox Taoist pantheon. They are Bigan, the Eastern Wealth God, Chai Rong, the Southern Wealth God, Guan Gong, the Western Wealth God, Zhao Gongming, the Northern Wealth God, and Wang Hai, the Central Wealth God."

Zhou Tongren did his duty and took the initiative to say, "Different gods of wealth have different requests and groups of people, so if you want to ask for something later, just tell me in advance and I can give you some suggestions."

When everyone heard this, Yao Lei asked first, "Master Zhou, I want to pray for a prosperous business and a smooth career. Which god of wealth should I worship?"

"Friend Yao, are you from the south or the north?"

Zhou Tongren did not respond immediately, but asked back.

"I'm from the North."

Yao Lei answered simply.

"Fellow Daoist Yao, according to your request, you should worship Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth in the North."

Zhou Tongren helped Yao Lei point the direction. On the right side of the North God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, there was a man with a black mouth, a black face, a thick beard, riding a black tiger, fully dressed in armor, holding a silver whip in one hand and a gold ingot in the other. He looked very majestic.

"Master Zhou, does worshipping the God of Wealth have anything to do with people from the north and south?"

After Zhou Tongren finished providing advice to Yao Lei, Lin Ziyang interrupted and asked with some curiosity.

"Of course it is related."

Zhou Tongren explained with a smile: "The two gods of wealth in the northwest correspond to the wealth in the south and the wealth in the north respectively. You should know that not all Taoist temples are as wealthy as the Tianmu Taoist Temple. In the smaller Taoist temples in the south, the god of wealth in the temple basically worships the western god of wealth, Guan Gong. Especially in the coastal areas of the south, many business families will worship Guan Gong statues."

"Um……"

"Indeed it is."

"In our Wang family's ancestral home, we enshrine the statue of Guan Gong."

Wang Longze coughed twice and echoed, "I was ignorant when I was little. Plus, Hong Kong movies were popular at the time, and people would always worship Guan Gong before killing someone. This made me think that my family was gangsters for a while. I walked sideways in school at the time, and when my dad found out, he was so angry that he laughed."

"Hahaha……"

"Is there such a thing?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Wang Longze spread his hands and said again: "I would like to remind you that when you pray to the God of Wealth, don't be too greedy. Know when to stop. Being too greedy may have the opposite effect."

"Indeed."

Zhou Tongren nodded slightly to show his agreement.

After hearing this, everyone had a basic understanding of the Five Wealth Gods. Then, according to their wishes, they worshipped in front of different Wealth Gods...
