In this chapter, we learn that the ghosts have been "condensed into a ghost" and "dissipated into telepathy" as a result of the Emperor's "pressure" on them. The Emperor asks the ghosts if they think he can "ignite" the fire in the temple. The ghosts reply that they would like to see if they can be the first to "burn down Luofeng mountain" . They also want to know if the Emperor is cunning and strange, and if he can be trusted to do such a thing. The two men agree to go to the ancient books to see whether they can push the "antidote formula." The Emperor tells the ghosts that if they run out of time, they would be "muddleheaded" and forget the "way to come." He also tells them that the ghost of the Virgin Mary was killed by the Emperor in this way, and that the Emperor does not need such a "fan xiao" to take care of the ghost. He says that if the ghosts cannot be saved, the ghost will be heartbroken. He adds that the reincarnation tower is trying to stop them from taking the ghost back, but the Emperor refuses to pay for it. The next time the two men argue, he asks the ghost if he is joking, and the ghost replies that it is not funny. He turns to jiuchen and tries to get an answer, but he is sent into the afterlife.
