In this chapter, we learn that the ouyangs are holding a memorial service for their dead son. The ghost of the dead son, who is called "nan fengyun," appears at the service and tells the assembled people that he will send them to their ancestors. He tells them that they can use the chaos of the mourning service to sneak up on the family. He also tells them to beware of the "hidden fengyun." The ghost warns them to be careful and to beat the nines tripod, which is one of the most powerful weapons possessed by a demon. When the ghost sees that the young man, who he calls "daer," is actually "that young man," he curses him and tells him to kill him. The young man thanks his father for making him worry, and says that he wants to help him clean up the old bastard. He says that even after becoming a disciple of the demon, he still does not change. When he sees the holy blade in the hand of the old man, he screams that it is the "jiuli holy blade." He tells his father that he has become a "lapdog" of the family, which means that he can do anything he wants. He warns him to take the holy elixir and kill the old thief.
