At the beginning of the second chapter, Siddhartha asks his grandfather if he wants to see him. His grandfather tells him that he can, but that he will have to go to the king of hell first. He says that he has bought a new house nearby and that it is easy for him to get to and from school. He tells the boy that he is no match for him. He is afraid that the boy has been affected by the "yin sword" and that his mind is "being controlled"
