8화: 니 후이상이 성의 소문을 설명하고, 위우쉬안과 란 왕지가 공격의 진상을 조사한다.
Nie Huaisang enters the room, stating that he was merely nearby, which Wei Wuxian finds suspicious, as he and Lan Wangji found his folding fan near the castle. Wei Wuxian begins to interrogate him about the castle. On the way there, Nie Huaisang explains that the human-eating castle is in fact his sect's burial grounds. Its reputation for "eating people" is a fabricated rumor to discourage people to enter, and ruckuses are caused by the swords left behind by the deceased Nie Sect ancestors. When they arrive, they find corpses and a group of black-clad people preparing to attack them. Wei Wuxian engages them while Lan Wangji goes to check the tower. When Nie Huaisang is suddenly targeted, Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao arrive to aid them. During the fight, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian discover one of the black-clad cultivators is skilled in Gusu's sword techniques and has scars from casting the Hundred Holes curse. The zombie hand also appears and Wei Wuxian questions the link with it. After, they find a pair of legs that matches with the zombie arm sewn onto one of the corpses. They then part ways and Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji continue their search for the other parts. The zombie hand points them to a new direction and the two set off West. In town, Lan Wangji tries to ask how Wei Wuxian has died, but the latter refuses to tell. He then finds a pellet drum for sale and remembers how he used to love this toy. A memory of young Lan Wangji giving a pellet drum to young Wei Wuxian resurfaces, back when they were both children, before an orphaned Wei Wuxian was taken to the Lotus Pier. In the post-credit scene, Jin Guangyao looks at a paper with directions for the Sacrifice Ritual Mo Xuanyu used on it and murmurs Wei Wuxian's name. Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian arrives in Yi City, but find only corpses killed by Shuanghua before meeting Xiao Xingchen. (Source: Wikipedia)
