The Xiluo Gongxiao Temple, known for enshrining Zhongkui, has a legendary history. Over a hundred years ago, the houses in Xinchuzhuang frequently caught fire for no reason. The villagers invited the older lady from the Xiluo Guangfu Temple to observe and inquire about the matter. Following her instructions, it was revealed that this village was a "Hōnglú Qíxué" (a mysterious spot) and that they needed to worship the Fumo Dadi (the Great Emperor of Subduing Demons) to avert disasters and misfortunes.
