Going to the City God's Temple to offer incense on the first day of the Lunar New Year was a fixture in the Wu family's repertoire.
Although Wu Jiang and the old man knew clearly that the person sitting in the hall was no longer their ancestor, they still needed to follow the procedures and be respectful.
Without much effort, the family arrived at the Chenghuang Temple.
The place is as busy and bustling as ever, but ordinary people don't know that the City God has changed.
After queuing for a long time, only a few people squeezed into the main hall.
The old man stepped forward first, carefully lit three sticks of incense, put his hands together and bowed down, kowtowing three times before getting up; followed closely by Wu Shi'an and Wang Yaqin, who also followed the old man's example, respectfully put up the incense and kowtowed. Naturally, they both understood the principle of entering a temple to worship gods.
Finally, it was Wu Jiang's turn. He picked up three sticks of incense and lit them. He shook them gently to extinguish the flames, bowed to the statue of the City God, and then firmly inserted the incense into the incense burner.
He vaguely sensed that the statue of the City God above the main hall was looking at him.
Wu Jiang was kneeling on the futon. He had just kowtowed once, and when he was about to kowtow the second time, an urgent and somewhat frightened voice suddenly came from his ears: "Don't kowtow, get up quickly!!"
Wu Jiang was startled, raised his head blankly, and subconsciously glanced around the hall. The pilgrims around him were all concentrating on making wishes, and no one noticed. He then turned his attention to the statue of the god sitting on the high platform.
"Don't look, that's what I said! Get up quickly, and next time you come, you are not allowed to kowtow and salute!" The voice sounded again, with a bit of anger.
Wu Jiang knew instantly that the person talking to him was the new City God from Cangming County.
Ha...this city god is quite polite.
Since it was the City God's order, Wu Jiang did not show any pretense, stood up and bowed before the statue with his hands in hand.
The moment he stood up and raised his head, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw, whether it was an illusion or not, that there seemed to be a crack in the wat tablet held by the City God.
There were a large number of pilgrims waiting in line outside the main hall. After the family offered incense, they quickly left without stopping.
After paying homage to the City God, they took a brief walk around the temple and then prepared to go back.
