Episode 21 recap: Ye Liu Xi helps Chang Dong with the investigation.
Chang Dong is sitting outside when Ye Liu Xi comes to see him and asks if he's feeling down. Chang Dong says he's not. Ye Liu Xi asks if it's because he needs some time to digest all the stories he heard from Ding Liu. Ye Liu Xi says that she has made a decision to give up the vast mountains and rivers for Chang Dong's sake. Chang Dong finds it strange that Scorpion Eye encountered Camellia, yet he let Chang Dong go alone. Ye Liu Xi says she will investigate on behalf of Chang Dong.
Zhao Guan Shou brings Ye Liu Xi and the others to see a city soul, saying that it is the city soul of Yumen Pass. At that time, Long Zhi moved this city soul and sent Ye Liu Xi outside Yumen Pass. However, because things inside the pass cannot be taken outside, Ye Liu Xi lost her memory. They have made arrangements and brought the head of the yellow goat to Ye Liu Xi's side to guide her back. Zhao Guan Shou also arranged the prophecy of the silver snake, so when Ye Liu Xi returns, they will receive news immediately.
Fei Tang finds it strange why Zhao Guan Shou went to the trouble of finding Ye Liu Xi. Zhao Guan Shou says that only when Ye Liu Xi returns can they return the bones to the shadow puppets. Moreover, the prophecy also states that leaving the Yumen Pass is both a crisis and a turning point. After Ye Liu Xi returns, they can also eliminate the Scorpion Eye organization.
Zhao Guan Shou takes them to an exhibition room designed according to the layout of the ancient monster rack. Inside, there are some harmless monsters locked up. Ye Liu Xi and the others are amazed by these monsters.
Chang Dong finds it strange that if things inside the pass cannot be taken outside, why was that one photo able to be taken outside the pass? He wants to know who took that photo. Zhao Guan Shou says he doesn't have time to answer Chang Dong's question right now, but Ye Liu Xi insists that Zhao Guan Shou must answer.
Zhao Guan Shou reluctantly responded, saying that two years ago, Scorpion Eye went to the Bogu Yaojia area to try to open the Bogu Yaojia and release the monsters. Although they were not successful, it caused turmoil. The sandstorm that Chang Dong and the others encountered was a result of that. The people from Mount Tea were taken by the Scorpion Eye members to feed Yan Zhong, and their vehicles were taken by them as well. The photograph was taken during that time. Normally, items from within the pass are not allowed to be taken outside, but due to the movement of the city's soul, it was taken out.
After the visit, Zhao Guan Shou arranged for someone to take them to rest. Fei Tang was shocked to discover that the person was actually A He. Ding Liu didn't find it strange. Being close to the outside of the pass, it was normal for them to send someone there to gather information about Ye Liu Xi. Ding Liu brought them to a small building, which was arranged as their accommodation. The person who came with them was already there. Lao Li came over, also very excited, as he had never expected to be able to stay in Zhao Guan Shou's place.
Chang Dong sat outside, and Ye Liu Xi came to see him, asking if he was feeling upset. Chang Dong said he wasn't. Ye Liu Xi asked if it was because they had heard so many stories all at once and needed some time to digest them. Ye Liu Xi decided to give up the vast mountains and rivers for Chang Dong. Chang Dong found it strange why Scorpion Eye encountered Mount Tea but spared him. Ye Liu Xi said she would investigate for Chang Dong.
Zhao Guan Shou recalled the events of the past. They had searched for Ye Liu Xi based on the prophecies but couldn't find her for a long time. The Long family patriarch said that Yan Zhong had also appeared now and would be very dangerous. N said that they had a method. Since the people within the pass couldn't kill that person, they would simply not hinder Yan Zhong and let him massacre villages. The person who survived would be the one they were looking for.
Zhao Guan Shou felt that this would harm many innocent people, and the Long family patriarch believed that if they couldn't find that person, more people would die. Zhao Guan Shou reluctantly agreed. Afterward, Yan Zhong went to many villages, and wherever it went, all the people inside died. The Yu Lin Wei followed behind, hoping to find the one who survived.
Old Shen continued to tell the painter this story, feeling that there were many complex forces at play behind the scenes.
