After the monkey corpse was carried back, the old people took the arrows out and rubbed them against painful areas on their body, after which the arrows were placed back with the monkey corpse. This represented the transfer of the pain from their own bodies to that of the monkey. Young people, on the other hand, stood on the takoban and beat the dust from deerskins, which also symbolized eliminating inauspiciousness.
猴屍抬回以後，長老會拿竹箭撫摸身上有病痛的地方，然後把箭丟給猴屍，表示病痛已從身上轉移給猴子，少年們則站在會所上拍打鹿皮上的灰塵，也是除穢的意思。
