In this chapter, feng xian tells his brother that his master has kidnapped his disciple. He demands that he pay ten "dragonfish" and two "rogue rabbits" for the release of the boy. He also demands that the boy tell him the identity of the person who gave him the letter. He says that if the boy does not reveal his identity, they will catch him red-handed. The boy has not yet come to the sacred region, but he has written that this is where he chopped all the woods. The next day, the third day, fourth day, he is getting bored already, and he will go to Dongsheng one week later to drink. He asks his brother if he is behind the whole thing, and his brother says that he is not, and that he will see his master before he leaves. He then asks if his brother has heard about the holy lord's taking of a male disciple. His brother replies that he has heard that the lord has asked the man to pay the ransom. If the man does not pay, he will kill the two of them. If they try to ambush the man, the man will blame them both for the death of the man. The two brothers decide to go to the holy region to find out what has happened.
