Ziming is distraught at losing the Black Dragon Scroll and retraces his steps to find it. While looking for the scroll in a bamboo forest, Ziming comes across the five senior Confucian students stoning Wushuang who is still in the deep hole. Ziming argues with Zimu and while trying to stop him, realises that Zimu has the scroll, just before falling into the deep hole himself. The students return to the Confucian Junior Sage Village and lie about what happened. Wushuang seems to understand the friendship and help Ziming has offered him, and so he helps Ziming escape from the hole. Zimu is questioned about what happened to Ziming, but because he and the other students lie about it, are punished by having to copy a Confucius scroll when Ziming returns unscathed. While the students fall asleep that night while copying the scroll, a masked Ziming creeps and attempts in to steal the scroll from Zimu.
