In the mural, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is at the top, wearing a jeweled crown and necklace, holding a lotus in his left hand and a jewel in his right hand, standing on a lotus throne. The golden light of his merits shines upon the evil ghosts and wronged souls under the throne, who, listening to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva reciting the Sutra of the Original Vow, are given the opportunity to be saved and reincarnated.
There is a mural right after it, showing a celestial master in the world pretending to be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva performing a ritual to liberate the souls of the dead on the Zhongyuan Festival. The relatives of the dead souls in the world pray sincerely, and behind each of them there are one to three ancestors bathing in the golden light of merit. This ritual is called "breaking the city".
After viewing the murals, the five people continued to move forward to the basement and met the other six Heavenly Masters one after another. When both sides first met, they fought each other before confirming that it was not a mirage ghost in disguise. The other party told Ethan Chen and others: "We also encountered a mirage ghost. He pretended to be a Heavenly Master we were familiar with to deceive us. After being exposed, he led us to the sixth house and said that the source of resentment was here."
Ethan Chen: "Why did you come to the basement?"
Their answer was the same: "Open the door and walk forward to the basement. We thought this was the sixth house."
