They fetch water from an old well, known for its yin energy, and set up a formation with bamboo mats and candles. Xu Lin invokes the Rebirth Spell, allowing Da Tou's soul to manifest, revealing her wish to see her mother and buy a longevity lock for her unborn brother.

They decide to investigate the grave at night, hinting at unresolved resentments and potential dangers.
