I was walking around a precinct of the Taiwanfu Chenghuangmiao. This temple enshrines the guardian deity of this city. And it is believed that people receive a blessing for doing a roaring trade. At any rate, there were many temples in Tainan. And I thought the deities were doing a brisk business much more than human beings.
The precinct was wrapped with the calmness like other temples. And I saw some worshipers. A big incense burner was placed in a corner of the precinct. Nobody was around it. And no smoke rose from the burner. During watching, a man appeared on the other side of the burner. A plastic basin was in his hand and a kettle was in it.
