Episode Title:
Umbrella and Ink
Episode Description:
The Tensen is revealed to be the peony Jiujun Amoghavajra and says that Tan is not an elixir, because if humans consume it they turn into plants. In lightning fast movements, Yuzuriha slashes Amoghavajra to pieces, and then tries to poison it, but the Tensen regenerates itself each time. Eventually, Sagiri, Senta and Yuzuriha utilize their own knowledge and experience of Tao to jointly attack and defeat the Tensen although it leaves them injured and exhausted. Some time later, as Senta proposes that they find a way to save the other members of the expedition, the Tensen becomes a giant flower and fires a dart-like projectile at Yuzuriha. Senta throws himself in front of her and is hit instead. He begins sprouting flowers and imagines that he is painting a picture of a dancing Yuzuriha holding a parasol. The monster then fires a series of darts at the two women which are intercepted by Shion who appears from nowhere to save them.
