I can't say I ever have, although coins (symbols of prosperity/wealth) and dice (symbols of fate, luck and chance) certainly are objects associated with the Black and White Brothers.

Perhaps they were 'producing' these items as good luck charms to offer deserving devotees.

Here is another good video that showcases their shambling walk; a perfect example can be seen from 0:46-0:59.

not sure if you have heard of "BanYuenChai" or not

I visited him in last year to seek his fortune telling service, he was using a rather unique way, eg first, you will need to write down your chinese name on a piece of paper, then, he will take that piece of paper and started to draw something, after which he will hold your hands, while looking into your eyes, and start telling you things

his office has a few buddha statues as well as 关帝

when he start to talk to you about your past and future, his face really looks like 关帝

he is benevolent and stern at the same time, funny thing is he let me record the entire session without issues.

Doesn't sound like he's a medium who channels deities.

The deity in the centre is known as Ruan Gong Sheng Fo/阮公圣佛 or Sagacious Buddha Ruan. He was a devout Buddhist who attained enlightenment barely into his mid-twenties, and, after his deification, became famous for aiding several emperors, including healing a serious eye illness in one emperor, warding off a terrible fire that raged another emperor's capital city and helping yet another emperor repel a foreign invasion.

The deity on the left is known as Wen Shi Zhen Xian/文氏贞仙 or Chaste Immortal Wen. She is a guardian goddess of the people of Si Hui County in Guang Dong, being particularly efficacious in bringing rain in times of drought.

The deity on the right is known as Liang Gong Sheng Fo/梁公圣佛 or Sagacious Buddha Liang. He was a disciple of Ruan Gong Sheng Fo, a young preacher who was well known for being a selfless philanthropist.

Indeed; they're fairly obscure.

The only temple I'm aware of where they're worshiped is in Kepong (KL).

Any link between 3 of them other than the master-disciple? Why are they being prayed together?

Two of them, the Buddhas, are master and disciple, as previously noted.

The third one, the goddess, is a matron goddess of Cantonese people from a particular region in the old country, like I have mentioned - I believe the temple's founder has ancestry that links back to there, and reverence for her probably runs in his clan for generations, hence her inclusion.

She has no links to the other two per se, but it is not uncommon for several unrelated deities to be enshrined on the same altar.

A list of every single Chinese god and goddess would be extremely long - too long to fit here.

Ask me about a specific deity and I will provide you with as much information as I can about him or her.
