This Five Dao General is indeed unfortunate.
Li Yan had also seen several Five Dao Temples; in some places, they are called "Five Dao Lords," with only one divine statue draped in golden armor, wielding a long spear, and sitting upright.
In other places, there are five statues, some with blue faces and ferocious appearances that are intimidating to behold.
This matter is unavoidable too.
Building temples and observing rituals often arise spontaneously by the common people, with merchants donating money, burning incense, and praying for local peace.
But when the common folk build temples, they often don't observe such rigorous standards.
The same divine statues vary from place to place, also influenced by local folklore. If certain stories are heard often, people often shape the statues according to their perceptions.
"Five Dao" refers to the Heavenly Dao, Human Dao, Hell Dao, Evil Ghost Dao, and Animal Dao, but at some point, it was passed down as "Five Bandits."
