The revolutionary oracle sect opens their eyes to see if the zheng is awake. He is, and they know that he is in serious trouble. The zheng's wife has hit him, and the oracle finds a string of blood-culturing beads on his wrist. The beads are from hell, the oracle explains, because they are nourished with blood. If the owner of the beads can't maintain his or her power, all of the blood in the beads will be sucked away and become an evil curse. The oracle hopes that he can grow strong faster than the beads.
