It’s probably kinda obvious though. So I’m think the old man was Yu Lang in disguise and he lured Xue Yang to the red mansion. Removing the prayer beads would awaken Yu Lang’s true form, the snake demon. Based on the skeletons, those are all Xue Yang’s previous incarnations. Every century, he finds the original sword man’s reincarnation and lures it to the mansion, I’m assuming to get his revenge for the betrayal. Since time is frozen there, I’m guessing Yu Lang kills Xue Yang fairly quickly each time but that’s the part I’m uncertain about. Does he kill him quickly are does he allow him to live for a couple years before doing it? Will this Xue Yang be able to end the cycle and free them both?

This is amazing what a good theory
