Im a christian but from time to time I go with my master to pray and burn gold money at this temple of deity Sii Pek Yah. Or we usually call him "Uncle 4". Same characteristic as the Black Ghost you mentioned such as long protruding tongue, tall hat with "once seen become prosper" motto & carrying chain. My master claims that from time to time this deity will bring him to Hell while he's sleeping and then the whole day after he'll feel like he had not slept at all with tired legs

never dared to take pic at the temple out of respect and fear of the unknown at the same time lol. But the statues look exactly like those you posted. Long tongue, tall hat and same motto too. With iron chain wrapped across the body. And hell guardian as well that dragged souls to hell. Don't know why he's called sii pak yah a.k.a the fourth lord here though. There's also tua pek yah (1st lord), jii pek yah (2nd lord), sa pek yah (3rd lord) and finally him the forth lord all hell guardian of different levels. Jii pak yah loves to challenge my master to fight to test out kungfu whenever he is "up here":D

I also noticed that different time, this sii pak yah got different personality. Sometimes he likes to joke around, sometimes very quiet and serious. Sometimes speak in hakka other times speak in hokkien. But it seems like most of the time he know what we wanna ask before we even asked. my master's explanation for this is that down under there are lots of agent/representatives working for this 1 sii pak yah. Only when serious help is needed or the person asking got "destiny / jodoh" with actual sii pak yah then only he will come out to help you with your problem.

However his background story is a lil different.

He's used to be a scholar that failed his government entrance exam in ancient China so he hanged himself. Thus the long tongue.....

Last year's 7th month he gave my master a huge book with green cover sort of like the death record. It's all empty inside

well whether its real or not IMO this is the real peaceful religion. No converting others or forcing others to believe, no calling non-believers heretics etc.

BTW at the temple I go too, sometimes you can see the local Iban/dayak/bidayuh, indians and sometimes malays coming to ask for help. During the 7th half month festival the malay and dayak kids and their parents are the one that go for the loot. (the tradition whereby you put lots of things and you gotta fight for it. Dunno what this called) Truly 1Malaysia in a sense.

And the deity once said to my master "doesn't matter whether you are Christian or Muslim or Buddhist when you die I'll be the one you come to "

The master of my master came all the way here to Sarawak from Perak to be a medium to Guan Kong in 1 of the temple at the outskirt due to his debt to Guan Kong in his previous life. Only a few years though and I guess that means his debt is paid already.
