Old Lady Sha looked around, placed two futons on the ground, sat on one herself, and said, "Little Tang, I will cast a Spell to send both our Primordial Spirits into another underworld, and let the Black Pot be our protector, to keep us safe. Sit down."
Chen Tang sat opposite her.
Behind Old Lady Sha, the Primordial Spirit of the Imperial Maiden appeared, reaching out her palm, as if the ground beneath the two of them disappeared, replaced by a clear spring.
Chen Tang looked down to find the futon had turned into a lotus flower in the spring, and they were currently seated on it. Looking down along the lotus stem, the spring continually bubbled upward, with water flowing into the earth, clear as could be, as if it had emerged from another space-time.
"This Spell of mine is called Lin She."
Old Lady Sha said, "Relax and summon your Primordial Spirit."
Chen Tang complied, his Primordial Spirit arising, while Old Lady Sha's voice came to his ears.
