It's nice seeing Lan Zhan's love for Wei Wuxian.

Oh my god, in Wen Ning's flashback, when he's feeding a drink to a child with the Wen clan and Wei Ying in the bg, I noticed a valuable piece of foreshadowing. That was so subtle and clever!

Lan Zhan's jealous of Wen Ning. lol

Wei Wuxian said his last name is Lan. I know China censors homosexuality, but the creators of this donghua are giving more than enough clues to let us know what's actually going on.

Fantasy protagonists are usually so dumb that I can't stand them. Seeing Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan being perfectly competent is such a breath of fresh air!

I really hated the last few episodes (way too rushed imo), but I have no complaints about this episode. I actually loved it. Not much happened, but it was funny and sweet with a few sad moments.

I was happy to finally see my favourite moment form the book animated ("How would you know, it's not like you've died before". Oh, Jingyi if you only knew).
We also got Drunk LWJ! I was afraid they were going to skip it, because if iirc it happened before Yi city in the novel. LWJ is adorable drunk!

Also, when Wei Ying was watching the kids play out the sunshot campaign and "Jiang Cheng" made a comment about Wei Ying's death to "the Yiling patriarch", Wei Ying looked so sad. It was heartbreaking to watch.

Anyway, I hope the next episodes will be as good as this one.

drunk Lan zhan is the best whatever universe is

WY ask LZ that did he burn some paper for him... in MDZS Q chibi they show why Lan Zhan didn't burn the paper for Wei Ying because he believe that WY still alive, so cute.

This ep was great! Thank you donghua team for including so many Wangxian moments.

Drunk LWJ is adorable and also props to Bian Jiang for changing his voice a little for drunk LWJ.

It's been a while since I've read the novel but iirc some scenes were rearranged again but so far it's still okay. Hopefully it will still work out fine for the rest of the eps.

They even included the scene where the kids were reenacting Sunshot Campaign. Too bad they didn't include the part where WWX asks which one is playing LWJ but the part where LWJ picked up the kid who was playing Yiling Laozu was sweet.

It was funny when WWX said his surname is Lan then LWJ accidentally picked up a chili pepper.

Time to re-watch the ep again!

Just me or was that little drunk burp absolutely adorable? This obviously isn't part of the original Canon, but I find these little changes so cute.

Huge fan of this series, I've read the book and the comics, watched the TV series, listened to the audio drama (which by the way is also freaking amazing because it follows the book closely) and of course this anime. I know some fans are somewhat disappointed by how fast paced certain arcs are, but I think they've done an amazing job with this series thus far,especially because they made WWX become truly badass powerful (I always thought the TV series made him somewhat weak).

Not looking forward to it ending so soon, but I'll happily rewatch this over and over again. I sincerely hope that there will be some of this epilogue scenes though, the bits where WWX was training the kids would be amazing.

Only good episodes so far. Drunk Lan was clear fanservice but it wasn’t obnoxious and was kinda fun in its own right. Watching this series again really makes me realize how mid Tian Guan Ci Fu was.

Well I think they're rushing it to end like there are a lot of things in the animation which is missed out and if I didn't read the novel then I wouldn't understand a lot and that's pretty important for me I'm just too passionate towards mo dao zu shi that's all even the animation is really good and the music and the voice acting it's all good but why are u rushing it??

People are saying it’s rushed and if they didn’t read the source they wouldn’t know what’s going on... well that’s me, at this point nothing makes sense should I just drop?

people ask why they rushed it - answer they only have 13 episodes!! think about it! which after this episode a simple math we only have 9 episodes to close ALL THE PLOT!!
How would you handle it better with such a short season to finish all the plot?

As for me I'm very happy with what we got so far. yeas some part can be confusing, but if you pay attention and watch it more times than I'm sure you get most of it.

again for the fall details you can always read the novel! no one stopping you.

I'm so grateful we get to see drunk Lan Zhan and so many cute moments with them together. for me it already worth it even if they skip a lot of things ^_^

I'm satisfied with just the OP and ED songs.
I think that the ominous presence at Guanyin temple was much powerful than anything they've encountered till now. But WEI WUXIAN is still op.
Those action scenes were awesome at the end.

Looking forward to the next episode.

Maybe I'm the only novel purist here who's loving the heck outta this season so far. This episode is no different to my enjoyment and I think I can guess what the donghua team will do with the Guanyin Temple jigsaw so early on.

I can't believe the amount of knowledge known by both the cultivation and the common world. They know the literal dynamic of 3Zun. JGY cuddling up to LXC when NMJ gets angry? Wow.
And I'm probably not alone in thinking LWJ helping 'WWX' kid was adorable

Bruhhh the frickin flashback was such a bittersweet moment, times of innocence in Gusu that they can never get back. Made me cry after seeing the parallels between them and their past selves T^T
