The next morning, Linghua wonders if the god of the plague has just granted her wish. He wonders if there is a temple dedicated to the god, and wonders if he has bad relations with his master. He hears about the plague outbreak in the town of Dongshan, and decides that it would be a good idea to hold a plague-extinction ceremony. The ceremony will take place on the twenty-seventh of this month, and Linghua hopes that his master will be able to attend.
