In the following, you all will be seeing the Incense Lineage aka Xiang Huo (香火) that being invited back by Long Shan Men's 3 Deputy Leaders (龍山門代掌門).
During the Taiwan Trip, before they set-off to participate in the Inauguration Ceremony of 64th Descendant of Zhang Tian Shi, the 3 Deputy Leaders drop-by Long Shan Temple (龍山寺) & Ci You Temple (台北松山慈佑宮) to pay their Respect to the Deities. Long Shan Si, One of the few Temples that Long Shan Men's Ancestors were linked to, this time round, while the 3 Deputy Leaders were there paying respect to the Deities, some interesting issues happened. Hope that these interesting issues represent some Good Omens for them.
After paying respect to the Deities at Ci You Temple and got the Permission from San Qing Dao Zu aka The Three Pure Ones (三清道祖) & Jade Emperor of Heaven (玉皇大天尊), the 3 Deputy Leaders finally granted to bring back the Xiang Huo from the Temple.
