Wei Wuxian and the juniors are stuck inside the house of a living corpse while they wait for the corpse poison to be cured. While in the house, Wei Wuxian teaches the juniors about the difference between a living corpse and a walking corpse, as well as tricking the juniors into observing  a scary looking ghost girl to train their courage. The ghost girl is trying to tell them something, but her tongue has been ripped out. Just then, they see a cultivator getting chased by a group of corpses and sprayed by corpse poison. Wei Wuxian brings paper effigies to life to kill the corpses and bring the cultivator inside. The juniors recognize the cultivator’s sword and ID him as Xiao Xingchen. Just then, a fierce corpse breaks through the roof. Wei Wuxian is unable to control him, and uses his army of paper effigies to pin him to the ground. Using inquiry, they learn that the fierce corpse is Song Lan, and was killed by Xiao Xingchen. And the person controlling him is the Xiao Xingchen they saved earlier.

Following the ghost arm, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji end up in a place called Yi city, but they find it completely empty of inhabitants, and covered in a thick mysterious fog. Suddenly they run into the Lan Juniors and Jin Ling, who have also ended up in Yi City after trailing a mysterious culprit that has been harassing them with dead cats. At that moment, fierce corpses appear, but Wei Wuxian is unable to control them. Could it be the work of the Yin Tiger Tally? The fierce corpses poison some of the Juniors, just as the masked gravedigger appears to try and steal the ghost arm from Wei Wuxian. Lan Wangji attacks the gravedigger and leads him away from the poisoned juniors. Wei Wuxian leads the Juniors into a house with a creepy old lady inside. She leaves to her room, allowing Wei Wuxian, Lan Sizhui, and Jin Ling to cook congee in the kitchen as an antidote to the poison. As they eat and talk, Lan Sizhui suddenly says that the door to the old woman’s room has opened.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wang head to Yueyang to find more information about their Good Buddy. They find out that the Chang Clan was exterminated a decade ago, and go to investigate. Lan Wangji reveals that this was a famous incident that occurred after Wei Wuxian’s death. A man named Xue Yang used the yin tiger tally to exterminate the chang sect, and another man named Xiao Xingchen apprehended him. But the Jin clan shielded him, so Xue Yang blinded Xiao Xingchen’s friend Song Lan in revenge. Many years passed and the incident was forgotten. When LWJ and WWX arrive at the Chang graveyard, they are confronted by a mysterious gravedigger stealing a corpse. WWX tricks him into dropping the corpse, before the grave digger uses a talisman to run away. But to WWX’s surprise the stolen corpse is made of cotton!
