The next morning, Ming asks his mother what she meant when she said that she dreamt she was at the temple. Ming tells her that she had a dream that she was the goddess of the temple and that the people there were waiting for her. She went to the temple, and when she returned, she saw that there were no outsiders there, and that they were saying that the goddess had arrived. Ming asks her mother not to be offended by the young master, who is just anxious to protect her. Ming says that he wants to know what the proof is for the claim that the temple is haunted by vengeful spirits. He says that the incense is just a trivial trick compared to the power of ghosts.
