The story then shifts to a temporary camp where personnel from the city have gathered. Wang Ruoxu, Gu Yu, Xiao Zhai, and Lu Yuanqing are introduced, and they engage in a conversation. Wang Ruoxu is asked to help with a feng shui-related matter, and he boasts about his expertise. Xiao Zhai sketches the surroundings of a cave, and Wang Ruoxu examines it, noticing something unusual. Wang Ruoxu explains that the place is a rare example of yang containing yin and yin having yang on the outside. He believes that the cave holds mysteries and may be hiding a big monster.
