As soon as he hears the sound of the snake grass's roar, he realizes that he has to join the group. He grabs the snake's head and tries to pull it out, but the snake is still alive. He realizes that if he had known that the snake could still move, he would not have brought the others with him. He feels that he is holding everyone back, and that the talismans cannot suppress the fire any longer. He is still a man, he says, and he is trying to save his wife. He crackles the grass on his head to give him the feeling of good cultivation.
