Some of the common folk gaped in shock, their mouths agape.
Others, seeing the Tuo Dragon brimming with spirituality and even able to communicate with people, immediately panicked and hurriedly brought incense to worship it.
Many common folk are like this: rarely do the gods and Buddhas in temples reveal themselves, their Divine Skills not known, but when they encounter some extraordinary and shocking beings, they often mythologize and worship them.
Suddenly flowering iron trees in winter, unusually large carp, or even some strange rotten wooden beams—there were people who worshipped them.
Many debased rites, thus, came into being.
Of course, the current Tuo Master was far from being a Water God, and these offerings of incense were naturally not for him to enjoy.
Even more astonishing events occurred.
Soon, shadows began to surface on the river, all giant Tuo Dragons, and while not as large as the Tuo Master, they were rare sights on ordinary days.
