Episode 8 recap: Meng Po's soul-calling scared away.
The village chief said that now Tao Yuan Village is facing a calamity and the formation has been disrupted because of the girl from the neighboring village. They need to find the girl as soon as possible, or more people will suffer. The village chief hopes that if Fan Wu Jiu encounters the girl, he will bring her here, assuring that she won't be harmed. While Meng Po was ferrying Wang Hai's soul, she noticed a woman's eyes filled with hatred. As Meng Po was trying to call Wang Hai's soul, she heard his screams, which frightened her and made her abandon the soul-calling. She muttered about water ghosts and hastily left the place.
As the village chief, Tao took the blame off the team leaders, stating that Wang Hai's death was his own fault for trespassing into the Enchanting Forest without permission. The village chief decided to personally fund Wang Hai's lavish burial. Fan Wu Jiu found Wang Hai's body and expressed his doubts to Bao Ge, questioning why they didn't investigate the truth behind Wang Hai's murder and instead attributed it to the imaginary formation. Bao Ge angrily scolded him for his idea. That night, Bao Ge and Fan Wu Jiu remained at the Yizhuang and heard movement from inside the coffin. Fan Wu Jiu cautiously approached but found nothing unusual. Suddenly, the coffin lid was lifted, startling Fan Wu Jiu, who ran to Bao Ge seeking help, claiming it was a fake corpse.
