Past demons

This episode finished up the story of mirror demon. He had the ability to seal portions of people that could hurt him in mirrors. This is how dancer found out that she had several lovers that he had killed over the years. She also saw her image in various costumes with scissors wanting to kill the demon. She was reminded that her original agreement to stay young was to be by his side forever. She realized forever is a long time. Here the fight scenes were not as good. It seemed more fake to me. There was a fitting end to the mirror demon and his accomplice accepted her part and stayed with him. BanXia and XuanYe escape right in front of the constable. He is starting to believe that demons can really exist. He tells BanXia the story of XuanYe’s family and the clinic. He made no excuses for his part in the matter. He believed he was right in how things were handled and only recently realized how wrong he was. XuanYe had horrible guilt of the outcome of the miasma poisoning. He was convinced he was responsible and his dad claimed the same. It was something he had no means to cure and what they became could not stay. I found their ghost versions far more believable than the mad beast version so production got it half right. BanXia is trying to look out for him and make her own medicine. I am not sure how successful she will be in either enterprise. I don’t know that XuanYe can ever heal from such an event. But it explains why he is more solitary in nature and uncommunicative. I can only hope the constable will lighten up now because he even admitted going out of his way to make the hunter miserable and I believe he has had enough misery cast on him. I am not sure of the symbolism of the white crow. It can be a good or bad omen. I can say that this was the first time to see a murder of white crows. It was just as creepy as black ones.
