The next day, on their way to Pahsien Cave
Morley: So what's the story behind this cave we're going to?
Kathy: Actually, it's a bunch of caves. Eight of them have temples dedicated to eight different gods.
Morley: Really? That sounds interesting. Why did they set up the temples in the caves?
Kathy: Well, legend has it that the gods all visited these caves at one time.
Morley: You mean gods like Matsu, right?
Kathy: These are a bit different. Matsu helped fishermen, but these gods helped other poor people.
