:
Brunhilde (bi) was checking out the safety of the space station and found that the bathroom (Ø4) is a weak spot in the defence line if there should be any attacker. Thus, she decided to build a rampart (壁). She cannot do it alone though, so she asked the jade dragon (辟) for help. Together, they build the rampart out of earth (土). In this way, they will be able to fend off (辟) any intruder.

Mnemonic symbol from 辟邪, to ward of evil: a jade dragon, because this is what you get if you google image search 辟邪. Pocahontas (pi) stored some delicious kimchi (辛) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4), and a ghost (尸) is trying to eat it all in one gulp. Pocahontas is prepared though and uses a jade dragon (辟) to fend off (辟) the ghost. She does throw a mandarin (口) to the desperate ghost though.
