Gods at the Crossroads

Leading the goddess Mazu are her chief bodyguards, Qianliyan (Thousand-Mile Eyes) on the left and Shunfeng'er (Fair-Wind Ears) on the right . Legend says that these two have tremendous paranormal powers; Qianliyan, as his name suggests, can see a thousand miles in any direction, while Shunfeng'er can hear anything, no matter where it may happen. But at traffic intersections in our mortal world, even these two must wait patiently at red lights, while passersby take their chance to bask in the gods' awesome presence.
