The narrator heads south for Yan Di (the Fiery God). When he finds the way blocked by Yan Di's attendant, Zhu Rong (also the name of a peak in Hunan's Heng Shan mountain range), he summons various personalities associated with the region, who then sing and dance. Finally he leaves them and travels on.
