The next morning, the ghost of the young lord returns to the camp. He is furious that he has not been able to communicate with the boy. The ghost tells the boy that he will have to wait eight years and thirteen years before he will be able to return to the city of jinglei. He also tells him that the battle that took place at Luwu Mountains was fought by a bunch of "non-believers" and that the human race would not exist if that were the case. He then tells the story of how, the day after the battle, feng cang and lord wugu went to deliver winter clothes to the prisoner. Lieutenant cang then came out of the barracks and spoke to the boy, but he did not speak to the lord. The young lord is furious at the lack of communication between the boy and his men. He tells the ghost that the barracks are full of "bastards" and he will not bother with them anymore. He asks the boy to teach him a few terms so that the boy will not be intimidated by the other men.
