"Go straight down to cross the village and ignore anything happening around--that's the only chance to save yourself !" The kind famer warned. Feeling thankful and horrible, the scholar appreciated him and leaved.

What a strange village ! Its apparentness looked dark and cool with the small rain. Suddenly, the scholar saw an old woman sitting on the floor. The old woman told him that her husband had been ill so she had to collect some herbal medicine for him outside the village. But in the rain, it was so wet and she was so old that she fell down and failed to stand up and walk with her hurt leg. The scholar fought strugglingly himself for a long time and finally decided to carry the old woman on his back to send her home.

By and by, the village was peace. Evil spirits came out one by one. When they saw the scholar, they all kneeled down.

One new evil spirit, feeling so unusual, asked his leader "Why don't we rush out and catch the scholar to eat?" The other answered "Are you crazy? Can't you see the Bodhisattva on his back ?!"

“径直穿过村庄，无论身边发生什么事，都不要管。”好心的农民提醒书生。书生感到感激又感到害怕，答谢过农民之后，他上路了。

这是个奇怪的村长，在雨中，村中显得格外的寂静且冰冷。突然，一个坐在地上的老妇人出现在了书生面前。老夫人告诉书生，他老伴生病了，所以她不得不离开村庄出来给他草药。但是雨中路面太滑，她又太老了，于是她就摔倒在路边，受伤的脚让她再起不来走路了。书生思想斗争得很激烈，但最后，他还是决定背起老妇人，送她回家。

一路走着，村长很安静。妖精们一个个陆陆续续出来了。当他们看到书生的时候，他们都朝他跪了下来。

一个新来的妖精觉得这情景非常不寻常，于是问他的老大：“为什么我们不冲上去吃了书生？”另一个回答：“你疯了吗？没看到他背上背着菩萨！？”
