One a day, plus iron

Oh oh misunderstanding that needs to be corrected - the corpse is not Jin Guangshan (evil father of Jin Guangyao with the hat) who got fucked to death rather poetically by prostitues, the kind of women he had wronged so many times in his life. It's Nie Mingjue. This is not a spoiler that gets later revealed or anything; I think it's just that you mixed up the names and faces because Nie Mingjue also had an impressive moustache and didn't have all that much screen time.

That's why Jin Guangyao is so shocked - Nie Mingjue should not be in this coffin, because he used to have his fucking head in his secret treasure room/torture chamber.

Edit now that I'm back home and also not asleep anymore. XD

And don't worry about misundertanding some stuff; IDK where you're watching, but neither youtube nor Netflix have the greatest of subtitles and there's also so much going on that it's easy to miss explanations. Especially in this part of the story, which is a lot of talking and reveals and stuff! :D

I'm so glad you enjoy that your predicitions re Jin Guangyao were correct! And he indeed makes for a convincing bad guy. (Gun fact: The actor went to the casting for the role of Lan Sizhui/a-Yuan because he figured, "Hey I have huge eyes and cute dimples, I'd be perfect for the nice Lan boy!" and the casting director was like, "Those are murder dimples, you'll be Jin Guangyao!" XD)

Also, I love the reveal that Wen Yuan survived and that Lan Wangji took him in. It's so satisfying when it comes out and it makes so much sense!

The golden core reveal is indeed a great scene that hits so well! There are understandable reasons why WWX didn't want to tell anyone about it, but if he had, indeed so much could've been prevented as many of the conflicts hinge on WWX suddenly doing very questionable (cultivation) things that don't make sense to the people who'd known him and cutting himself off from everyone, refusing their help. Jiang Cheng and his sister would've loved to help him if he'd let them and if they'd understood what the actual problem is. Lan Wangji even tried, but he's bad with words and also hadn't gone through his whole "perhaps only abiding by the rules isn't the greatest thing ever" self-search yet and therefore was still trying to also please his sect/family, which was unfortunately incompatible with loving the evil necromancer... There's just so much tragedy and drama around this situation and it's delicious!


I think why the one prostitute survives get explained in the temple... hopefully. It gets explained at some point but it's been a while since I saw the show so I'm not sure when exactly it's revealed. But there's a reason why she's the only survivor there (and yes you're right, Xue Yang did the murdering because he loves doing that and was working for the Jin at that time).

Xue Yang is definitely dead. You read the way it was shown right! ;D

I think it's not yet been mentioned who was supposed to be in the coffin but it should be mentioned at some point in the eps at the temple.

Yeah how did the hat get out? I'm not sure if they actually explain it but hopefully they do. I'm also not sure anymore if it was different in the novel...

What is the motive for fucking with Silly Hat Guy in such a toying way instead of just laying out the evidence and letting the cultivators depose him in some reasonable manner?
Yes indeed. Good question! ;D

The second flute player is exclusive to The Untamed and doesn't exist in the novel.
Good one remembering Su She.
I love that he's a character that shows up very early on in the show but he's so unremarkable that everyone always forgets about him. XD
