The Untamed Episode 37 Recap
> The Untamed Recap
Wei Wuxian needed help cooking glutinous rice porridge to detoxify everyone. Lan Sizhui volunteered, and Jin Ling eagerly followed along. The two told Wei Wuxian that they had been chasing something here. They called it a "thing" because they had no idea who or what it was. It came and went without a trace and even threw dead cat corpses to scare people.
Once the glutinous rice porridge was ready, Wei Wuxian took Sizhui and Jin Ling to serve it to everyone. However, the porridge had an odd taste, making everyone cough from the spiciness. Just then, a knocking sound came from outside. Wei Wuxian peeled back the window paper and saw a thin, frail girl slowly approaching with a crutch. He exaggerated his reaction on purpose, making Jin Ling and Sizhui curious enough to peek out the window as well.
They were shocked to see the girl’s blank eyes, blood dripping from her mouth—a truly terrifying sight. Wei Wuxian remained calm and instructed everyone to observe carefully. They soon realized that the white-eyed girl was a beggar, blind and mute, unable to speak even if she wanted to. However, she had followed them all the way here, seemingly trying to ask for help. At that moment, a blind man suddenly stumbled forward.
Wei Wuxian was shocked to recognize him as Xiao Xingchen. Ignoring the poisonous fog outside, he used a spell to guide Xiao Xingchen into the house. Wei Wuxian gave Xiao Xingchen the glutinous rice porridge to detoxify him, but danger still lurked. Outside the wooden house, a swarm of corpses suddenly appeared, overwhelming the area.
Just as Wei Wuxian was about to draw a talisman to repel them, a loud noise came from the rooftop, and Song Lan crashed down, swinging his sword to attack Wei Wuxian and the others. Wei Wuxian noticed the dark corpse marks on Song Lan’s neck and quickly played "Chenqing" to stop his frenzied attack. The group hurriedly tied Song Lan up to prevent him from losing control again.
Wei Wuxian stepped forward and was shocked to find that Song Lan’s tongue had been removed. Searching the back of Song Lan’s head, he pulled out a nail—exactly like the ones found in Wen Ning’s brain, undoubtedly the work of the same person. Since Song Lan could not speak, Wei Wuxian asked Sizhui to play the zither and perform a "Spirit Inquiry" to ask for his name and who had harmed him.
After questioning, Sizhui revealed in astonishment that this man was indeed Song Lan, but he had been wounded by Xiao Xingchen! Everyone was in disbelief. They all knew that Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen were as close as brothers—how could they have ended up killing each other? However, Sizhui’s interpretation was correct, leaving the situation utterly baffling. Wei Wuxian’s expression grew serious as he instructed Sizhui to ask who was controlling Song Lan.
Sizhui’s face darkened, as Song Lan’s answer was: "The person standing behind you all. "At that moment, the seemingly unconscious Xiao Xingchen curled his lips into a sinister smile. With a snap of his fingers, Song Lan suddenly broke free from his restraints, roaring as he pressed his sword against Wei Wuxian’s throat. Wei Wuxian told Sizhui to take everyone and leave while he stayed behind to negotiate with "Xiao Xingchen.
"It turned out that this "Xiao Xingchen" was actually Xue Yang in disguise. Xue Yang had long seen through Wei Wuxian’s true identity. The entire elaborate setup was orchestrated just to make Wei Wuxian restore the shattered soul inside the Spirit-Locking Pouch. Although Wei Wuxian had no idea whose soul was inside the pouch, he could tell that the person was already dead, and the soul was so fragmented that resurrection was impossible.
Upon hearing this, Xue Yang’s expression changed drastically. He threatened Wei Wuxian, demanding that he find a way to repair the broken soul no matter what, or he would never let the matter rest. After all these years, Xue Yang had not changed. He was still as strikingly handsome as ever but just as ruthless. In front of Wei Wuxian, he casually admitted that before heading to Nightless City, he had already secretly kept a piece of Yin Iron.
He had also long known that there were a total of five pieces of Yin Iron in the world. The sword Wei Wuxian retrieved from the Xuanwu of Slaughter’s body contained the last fragment, which allowed him to forge the Stygian Tiger Seal. Seeing the situation, Wei Wuxian deduced that Xue Yang was responsible for the massacres at the Chang Clan and Bai Xue Pavilion.
Just as he was seething with rage, Wen Ning suddenly charged in to protect Wei Wuxian and engaged in a fierce battle with Song Lan. While Wen Ning fought Song Lan, Xue Yang seized the opportunity to ambush Wei Wuxian. He shamelessly declared that he was determined to capture Wei Wuxian and make him repair the broken soul. At this critical moment, Lan Wangji descended from the sky, engaging in an intense battle with Xue Yang.
Wei Wuxian quickly led the others away, deciding to follow the blind and mute girl’s lead. She brought them to a place filled with coffins, anxiously tapping one of them with her cane. When Wei Wuxian helped her open it, he was shocked to find the real Xiao Xingchen’s corpse inside. The girl burst into heart-wrenching sobs, her sorrow palpable. Feeling sympathy for her and determined to uncover the truth, Wei Wuxian decided to use "Empathy" to relive the past.
