This chapter's epigraph comes from the epigraph of Chapter 100, Section 6 of the Poison sutra. It's a quote from the famous poem, "The Wild Jungle," in which the Wild Boar says, "I'd better go away so i dont go blind. I guess that the Great Wizard most likely used these venomous insects to poison the Huns. Why does he need such a large number of corpses?" The Wild Boar wonders why the great wizard needs so many corpses. The Great Wizard has built a huge burial pit in the hun capital, and he's been using the bodies of innocent people to populate his mausoleum. The High Wizard deserves to die, the wild boar says. He also wants to know if there's any hope of peace between the two kingdoms. The wild boar suggests that the doctor should be benevolent, and the disciple should keep these words in his heart: "never doubt my dignity" . He adds that he can sense the emotions of the wild beast better than the disciple, and that his level is higher, so he has a better sense of what's going on in the world around him. Finally, he suggests that nan ping might be hiding something from the master. He says that he doesn't dare ask the master rashly because he fears this will affect their relationship, but he also says that zi chuan can help him.
