Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 2: I've decided on you, God of Wealth!

Burning cold stoves, as the name suggests, means worshipping some obscure deities.

Take the God of Wealth as an example.

The most well-known gods of wealth are Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth (both righteous and martial), and Guan Yu, the God of Wealth (both martial and martial).

In fact, there are five Gods of Wealth in the pantheon of gods, also known as the "Five Gods of Wealth".

Zhao Gongming and Guan Yu are just two of them, representing the God of Wealth of the North and the God of Wealth of the West, respectively.

The other three are...

The God of Wealth of the East: Bi Gan.

The God of Wealth of the South: Chai Rong.

Central God of Wealth: Chai Rong.

Apart from Bigan, many people probably don't even know the other two.

Therefore, even the most popular God of Wealth has some lesser-known deities.

Not to mention other types of deities.

Therefore, this is what Lu Chen thought.

Since popular deities have no shortage of offerings, they take the incense and don't do anything.

It would be better to focus on these lesser-known deities; perhaps that will yield unexpected results.

Of course, these are just the deity systems of the previous life.

Whether the Five Gods of Wealth exist in this world is something Lu Chen cannot be certain of at the moment.

"Let's define the system first!"

Without further hesitation, Lu Chen immediately went to the temple hall, found the map of the gods, and began to observe it.

"This temple has quite a few deities enshrined. The God of Wealth Hall is one of the main halls of this temple, and it enshrines the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming... That makes sense, since it is a temple of the Zhao family, it is natural to enshrine the deities of the family."

Lu Chen rested his chin on his hand, pondering to himself.

The vast Zhao Clan Temple is filled with dozens of temples of all sizes.

"Emperor Wenchang, the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors... Wow! There's even the Thunder God! It seems this Zhao Clan Temple is no ordinary place."

Based on the original owner's memories.

The deities in the temple are not worshipped arbitrarily.

One must obtain the deity's permission before one can come and make offerings.

In other words, if the Zhao family can worship Lei Zu, then there must be a son in the family who has a very high degree of devotion to Lei Zu.

With their consent, we have now moved into the Zhao Family Temple.

"At a glance, it seems to be no different from the divine system of my previous life, and the identity and story are exactly the same as in my previous life."

Lu Chen couldn't help but smile.

It seems that his identity as a Taoist priest in his previous life is indeed a huge advantage in this life!
However, after watching for a while, Lu Chen noticed something amiss.

"Strange, why doesn't this Zhao Clan Temple have a side hall to enshrine lesser-known deities?"

In Qingfeng Temple, in addition to enshrining popular deities, they also built several side halls to enshrine secondary deities such as the Four Duty Officers and the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

However, apart from the main deity, there are almost no other secondary deities in this Zhao family temple.

"Holy crap, is our grand plan to light up the cold stove going to fall apart halfway through?"

Just as Lu Chen was feeling uneasy.

He glanced at the map out of the corner of his eye and caught sight of the words "backyard".

The small map was covered with a lot of writing.

Lu Chen leaned closer to take a look.

"The Goddess of Music, the Goddess of the Household, Zhang Xian, the Goddess of the Purple Maiden... There are so many gods in this backyard. Wow, the font is so small, I can't even read it if I don't look closely."

Lu Chen muttered, "This is such a discriminatory treatment!"

His gaze swept over the group of minor gods.

Suddenly, a name appeared that made Lu Chen's pupils shrink.

— Chai Rong, the God of Wealth.

"It really exists! And it's Chai Rong!"

In a moment of excitement, Lu Chen couldn't help but swing his fist violently.

This immediately drew surprised glances from those around them.

Seeing this, Lu Chen quickly composed himself, noted down the approximate location of Chai Rong's shrine, and then went to the incense burner.

"Hello, could you please get me a stick of incense?"

"How much of a divine service are you looking for? Which type?"

The staff member pointed behind him.

On the counter, there was a dazzling array of various fragrances in many colors.

There are earthy yellow ones, black ones, and purple ones.

Each color of incense comes in different sizes.

Small Chanel, regular size.

The large incense stick, also called the tall incense stick, is as tall as a person and is thick and large!

It doesn't look cheap at all. "100 will do."

Lu Chen immediately pulled out one hundred yuan.

With Lu Chen's current level of service and financial resources, he can only buy the most basic incense.

Upon hearing this, the staff member immediately gave Lu Chen a disdainful look, then reluctantly pulled out three incense sticks and said coldly, "Which deity are you worshipping?"

"Lord of Wealth, Chai Rong".

"Huh?" The staff member was stunned, clearly having heard something unbelievable: "Why don't you worship the God of Wealth Zhao? You want to worship him? I don't even see a single worshipper of this obscure deity for years. Are you sure you want to worship him?"

"Confirmed!" Lu Chen nodded.

The staff member chuckled, shook his head, and pointed at the incense stick. Instantly, the words "Lord of Wealth Chai Rong" appeared on the incense stick.

After finishing, she simply threw the incense stick by the window and then looked down to continue playing on her phone, seemingly too lazy to pay any attention to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn't bother arguing with such people.

He picked up the incense and headed towards the security exit.

"Hopefully, it will hit the target on the first try!"

While waiting in line to enter.

Lu Chen suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Ugh, I thought I was sure I could raise my God-Serving Level to 3% today, but I'm still a little short."

"Ruoyi, don't be too disappointed. Good things come to those who wait."

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Li Ruoyi and Song Hao walking out of the exit.

"Holy crap, more than forty minutes have passed, and we still managed to run into them?"

Lu Chen was speechless.

I instinctively moved to the side a bit to avoid being noticed by that idiot Song Hao.

What you try to avoid comes to pass.

"Hey, Lu Chen, what brings you here?"

Li Ruoyi turned her head and was surprised to find Lu Chen queuing at the entrance. She was overjoyed and ran over.

Song Hao followed closely behind.

Lu Chen: "..."

What a twist of fate!

"Hey, didn't someone say they weren't coming? How come they still sneaked in? Wait, why did you only buy one stick of incense? Lu Chen, you're too generous!"

When Song Hao saw the three lonely incense sticks that Lu Chen was holding, he immediately burst into laughter.

Everyone else buys them in bundles, but Lu Chen buys them one stick at a time.

Li Ruoyi frowned: "Song Hao, can you tone it down a bit?"

Song Hao waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it."

Lu Chen sneered.

If it weren't for the strict rules of the temple...

Fighting will get you blacklisted by the temple.

He assured Song Hao that he would get a beating today.

For now, all we could do was ignore this guy and continue queuing.

Looking at the incense in Lu Chen's hand, Li Ruoyi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lu Chen, which deity are you going to worship?"

"This one……"

At this moment, Song Hao suddenly peeked out and saw the words on the incense stick. He immediately exclaimed, "What? Lord of Wealth Chai Rong? What kind of deity are you worshipping? I've never even heard of him."

"The God of Wealth?"

Li Ruoyi was also taken aback; she had never heard of this deity before.

“Lu Chen, I can understand you worshipping the God of Wealth… but why not worship the real God of Wealth?”

Li Ruoyi was puzzled.

At this moment, the pilgrims queuing around were also intrigued and began to ask questions.

"Yes, why not worship Zhao the God of Wealth?"

"Young man, you're worshipping such an unpopular god of wealth, aren't you wasting your incense money?"

"Yes, when you worship gods, you must worship the mainstream ones. These unpopular gods are simply not effective."

"The most effective god of wealth in the Zhao family is the God of Wealth, but you just had to pick the least effective one. What a talent!"

Seeing everyone around me talking at once.

Lu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Have you tried it?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Who worships the God of Wealth?"

"Exactly, if it were me, I would definitely pray to Zhao Caishen."

Lu Chen laughed: "Since none of you have tried it, what makes you so sure... it won't work?"
