In this chapter, we learn that Cai Mingyu is looking for hell, but he's not looking for it himself. He's looking for a way out of his current predicament. He asks where huaijiang is, and wonders if he still wants to escape with his current mobility. He tells himself that man and snake are one, and that all will die today if he doesn't get out of this situation. He also asks if tiandu, the taoist mountain, is where the kid stole all the treasure from the sect. He wants to take the kid back to the sect to accept punishment for stealing the treasure.
