This chapter opens with a thunderclap, followed by a series of chirps and buzzes. The thunder is related to the formation of a new core in the soul, and the chirps are related to a howling celestial dog. The chirps indicate that the dog has formed a new body, while the buzzes indicate that he is in the middle of his soul's stages. The dog's howling is a response to the chirp of the new body. The new body of the dog is the same as that of the old body, but it is stronger. The old body has 3,000 years of soul attainments. The sound of a rat's voice is heard in the room. The rat is a friend of the master's, and he has come to inform the master of a ceremony to be held in the city. The master does not know what the ceremony is, but he does know that the envoy did not leave after delivering his message. The man is cooperative, and it turns out that he was trying to do something for real.
