It is said that Ancestor Minghe came out of the Blood Sea and waited outside for Laozi to arrive.
Ksitigarbha King and Laozi each rode their mounts and came like a whirlwind, and in no time, they had arrived at the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Standing above the Blood Sea, Ancestor Minghe saw that the comer was indeed the Morality God and could not help but fold his hands and say, "Ancestor Minghe pays his respects to the Morality God."
Laozi, sitting on the Green Ox, said indifferently, "Minghe, you took that soul; is it still with you now?"
Anxious, Minghe replied, "I did not take it; it was just that I saw the youth had remarkable talent, so I invited him to be a guest in the Blood Sea. However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva misunderstood me, which is why I've troubled the Celestial Venerable to make this journey."
Seeing that Minghe spoke appropriately and politely, Laozi, not one to strike a smiling face, simply nodded slightly.
Laozi then said, "Then release the person."
