Gaojun uncharacteristically appears lonely. Though Shouxue is concerned, she is unable to ask why. Several days later, Gaojun visits Ye Ming Palace to show her a haunted mask. The ghost haunting the mask apparently responds to a type of foreign lute. The problem is solved when Gaojun is able to provide such a lute. Gaojun tries to leave, but he is stopped by Shouxue.
Even at the ends of this square ocean, 
people change and are replaced
Selbst am Ende dieses glatten Meeres verändern
sich die Menschen und werden ersetzt.
Hasta en los confines
de este cuadrado mar,
Hasta en los confines
de este cuadrado mar,
इस चौकोर समंदर के छोर पर भी, 
लोग बदल कर गुम हो जाते हैं
Mesmo nos confins do oceano quadrado,
as pessoas mudam e são substituídas
