They were able to spin ropes instead of webs with which to bind their enemies. But Sun attacked and killed them all. The Taoist abbot then showed himself in his true form, a demon with a thousand eyes. He joined battle with Sun, and a terrible contest ensued, the result being that the Demon succeeded in putting an extinguisher on his enemy. This was a new trick which Sun did not understand.
She was only a girl herself, only just twice my age lying there in that terrible dark place with all the thick dust and the spiders' webs. Oh, Harold, Harold!
