After Lann and Wuming had eaten, they talked a bit about the Guardian Spirit on Rong Buqiu, named "Zansha," then rested separately.
According to Wuming, "Zansha" is actually a small Demon with no real harm.
But in the customary practices of Shintoism, transformations among the identities of demons, ghosts, gods, and Buddhas are frequent.
Demons and ghosts can be venerated through rituals and long-term worship to be canonized as gods and Buddhas, and if gods and Buddhas manifest themselves as malicious or evil incarnations from the legend, they can also be considered demons and eradicated.
So although Wuming had neither seen nor heard of the Guardian Spirit "Zansha," she accepted it easily when she saw the phenomenon on Rong Buqiu.
