Bai Town, in Wencheng, is an ancient town whose economic development is driven by its snake culture.
In this atheistic era, the people of Bai Town lived by the snake. They worshiped the creature, taking the legendary Snake King as their faith and totem.
They firmly believed that no matter the hardship, the Lord Snake King would save the common people from fire and flood.
This might seem absurd, but it was indeed the truth. The Snake King of Bai Town was real, not some ethereal being, because the Lord Snake King had manifested himself more than once to help the people of Bai Town overcome crisis after crisis.
The incense in Bai Town's Snake King Temple burned strong, and tourists visited in an endless stream.
But at some unknown point, the Snake King of Bai Town stopped manifesting. Even so, the incense in the Snake King Temple was never extinguished for a single day.
