Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

@Liddi, 

No, he did not transfer the spiritual power via the space from thounsand of miles away. I believe and as depicted in the drama, he applied the power on his heart which went directly to the bugs. He didn't transfer power to XY. His bugs gained power, they could be energy excited. Thus, via bug link, XY's bug got the same energy excitement. As depicted in the drama between minute 20 and 22.  Then either XY felt this kind of power excitement of her bug return to ground energy level and releasing energy. This doesn't require her bodyorgans to work to absorb the power (in Chemistry and Physics this similar to the excitement of electron)

Indeed, Jing continuously transfer spiritual power to XY. However, have you ever asked if XY body at that stage of damage (no pulse, cold body, loss a lot of blood, stiff muscles) could absorb that power? Why did Xiao xiao and CX's guards use spiritual energy instead of power.  TH didn't mess up words or term.  For example, for a very sick patient in intensive care unit (which is more or less similar to XY's body damage) doctors don't give them food such as meat, egg or vegetables to keep her/him alive. The patient is injected with nuttrients, with simple sugar and if she/he can not breath, doctors connect mechanical ventilator to the patient. For patients who can't breath himself and poor blood circulation, air is the most essential element, then simple essential nutrients and drugs. 

The spiritual energy is easier to absorb than spiritual power. That is why after sometimes, XY's body got warmer and soft. The improvement on her could result from the internal power transfer via the bug from XL. By that time Jing was separated from XY. 

Again, TH was very sneaky to give Jing most of the components/characteristics of that unending power in her writing. But it did not match the point of time when the doctors examined XY.  It's grass snake styled writing here. 

P/s: The main factor to keep me interested in this topic is analysing the writing detail. In term of plot and characters, it is a so so writing work (of course XL is exception). But she used a lot of writing techniques which interest me most. I am like an investigator digging in the text to see if I missinterpret something. I heard that "Dream of the Red Chamber" also uses a lot of similar techniques. I would like to read that book one day. However, I already knew the plot via the drama. So my motivation is not so high

Chapter 23 Why is it too urgent to fight each other: The battle between Jinghou and Mrs. Gu comes back, Jing becomes the clan leader, Bei Daiyao goes to save Zuo Er, Jing and Fenglong fight

1. Why is it too urgent to fry each other? This is a seven-step poem composed by brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi after they competed with each other .

2. Can Jing and Fenglong be considered brothers? Hahahaha

3. Don’t give up despite the slim hope. The injury caused by Yao Tiejing is not only due to the difficulty of the left ear, but also because of thirty-seven years of not giving up.

Chapter 24 Love and hate depend on each other: getting to know Snake Berry, practicing medicine for Mrs. Tai, Xiaoyao returns to Gaoxin, Emperor Jun looks at the mirror, Xiaoyao gets the magical bow, Yaoyuan returns to the Central Plains, the pain of gouging out the heart, Yaoxuan chat

1. Translation: "I wish to win the heart of one person, and we will never be separated from each other until we grow old. We will depend on each other until we grow old, and we will never abandon each other." It comes from "Yin of the White Head" written by Zhuo Wenjun, a talented woman in the Han Dynasty .

2. She already roughly knew that the bow here was given by Xiang Liu. Thinking about thirty-seven years, there are many things buried in my heart that I can't talk about, so I will step back and continue learning bow together. Corresponding to the sentence above, wait for me to come back.

Chapter 25: Suddenly I heard the sad wind and trained my archery skills, Yiying became pregnant, suddenly felt heartache and vomited blood, A Nian transformed into a lotus, Yi Jing got married, Yao felt her heartbeat

1. "Suddenly I heard the sad wind" comes from the poem " Listening to Lu Zishun Playing the Qin on a Moonlit Night " written by Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty . This poem is about listening to a ghost playing the piano to lament the ignorance of music in the world. The thoughts and emotions are somewhat negative, but they must also be full of the bitterness and pain of the poet's ups and downs in his life. Losing a confidant, Bei is indeed... losing someone related to Qin...

2. Suddenly heard means heard suddenly. I think it is consistent with sudden heartache and vomiting blood, both for Xiang Liu. Jing's intention to become the clan leader and get married has been known to Xiaoyao from Qingshui Town. Xiang Liu said that Yi Ying would not give up, and Cang Xuan also said so. This information was not sudden to Xiaoyao. After nearly forty years of waiting, I suddenly said that I no longer need to learn bow and arrow. There is no reason for the two to meet again, which is very sudden for Xiaoyao. It fits the meaning of sudden heartache. So the reason for vomiting blood was because she trusted the wrong person, and more because Xiang Liu suddenly and unilaterally announced his complete withdrawal from her life.

3. Ah Nian teased the snake and transformed into a lotus to make Xiaoyao happy, and Jing came to apologize. When Yao was making a decision, the transformed lotus withered. Lotus began to appear when Xiang Liu attended Chun Tao Mazi's wedding. Lotus leaves are basking in the sun, and fish are playing with lotus leaves. This may imply that Jing is not Lian. It may also be said that the child is not Jing's hahaha. A fake lotus and a fake husband will eventually become disillusioned.

Chapter 27: Waiting for peace to make waves. The Yellow Emperor went to Zezhou in the Central Plains for a three-arrow duel. Dreaming of Jing Xiangliu.

1. From " Nine Poems on Bamboo Branches ·Part 7" by Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty. The long-lasting hatred in the heart is not as good as water, and it can easily cause waves. The meaning of the whole poem is that the water in Qutang Gorge flows through Twelve Beaches, and the road here has been very difficult since ancient times. Always resentful that people's hearts are not as good as this river, and will cause waves for no reason. Someone is causing trouble.

2. In this chapter, Xiaoyao suddenly figured out the reason why Xinyue had been unwilling to marry.

3. Relying on medicine to fall asleep, I dreamed of Jing, escaping from Qingqiu to Qingshui Town, and entering the water was free and refreshing. I also dreamed of Xiang Liu, and turned around and swam to the land, crying like rain. She has always been able to control her feelings for Jing, but she can't help herself for Xiang Liu!

Chapter 28: The spring breeze fills the courtyard, melancholy east of the wall: Fenglong proposes to Cao Aoling and recalls Fenglong. When the patriarch Huangdi abdicated, Jing was drunk and played the piano. Fenglong asked Xiaoyao what gift he wanted.

1. " Picking Mulberries ·The small hall is quiet and no one is there" The small hall is deep and quiet and no one is there. The spring breeze fills the courtyard. To the east of the melancholy wall, a cherry tree is red with rain. My heart is as worried as drunkenness and illness, and I am still confused when I want to talk. At dusk, the clock is falling, and the two swallows have returned to live in the painting pavilion. Meaning: There is profound silence in the small courtyard, no one visits, only the spring breeze blows through the courtyard, but the melancholy is still there, and the cherries on the tree are even more ruddy in the rain. The sad heart is like being drunk or sick. I want to say something but can't express it yet. Towards evening, I could hear the bells ringing sparsely in the distance, and a pair of swallows returned to their nest in the painting pavilion.

2. No one knows the pain in Xiaoyao’s heart. Xinyue informed Xiaoyao about the stakes of marrying Fenglong. She convinced herself that she made this decision for herself.

3. On the grassy ridge, she tore the hibiscus leaves into strands, then into points, and scattered them in the wind. I don’t want to write any more about washing my hair.

4. Lie to her brother and say that she voluntarily marries Feng Long. Cang Xuan was very angry and Huang Di gave in. In fact, if Fenglong and Xiaoyao are not united, Fenglong may not be able to be the leader of the clan. Huangdi really may not be able to give in. This makes Cang Xuan very angry that the two of them cannot obtain their own happiness after all.

5. Jing played the piano while drunk... Xiaoyao said that there is intention without power, but there is power without intention. The former is Jing and the latter is Xiang Liu. What did Xiang Liu do that she felt was strong but no intention?

6. Feng Leong asked what gift he wanted. Xiaoyao said that a gift does not depend on what it is, but on the intention of the giver. If you really care about someone, you will naturally want to share every detail of your life with him. Therefore, who she shares with is the person she cares about. She knows her own heart.

7. Recalling Qingshui Town, Lao Mu Mazi and Chuan Zi Qi were surrounded by her. The only hardship in life is Xiang Liu.

Chapter 31: Chasing the past, empty and miserable Xiaoyao is studying medicine.and Xinyue knows the secret.and sends out ice crystals Qingqiu meets Jing by chance.and waits for Xiang Liu to receive the ice crystal ball for seven days.

1. This poem from " Qi Shi·Late Autumn " by Liu Yong of the Song Dynasty is about the author lamenting that he was in the capital with infinite beauty, thinking of his youth and only thinking about having fun every day. Moreover, there were many crazy friends accompanying me at that time, and I would never leave when I encountered the scene of drinking and singing. However, after the separation, time flies by, and those past scenes of fun and revelry are like a dream, with a hazy smoke ahead. When will it arrive? It's all those fortunes and fame that have made me so haggard and fettered me. Looking back on the past, all that is left is a broken face and a sad look.

2. Xiaoyao was taken back to Shennong Mountain. Cang Xuan said that Shennong Mountain is the same as Wushen Mountain, but that is not true. Wushen Mountain has no memory, but Shennong Mountain, Zezhou, and Jiyi City all have too many memories of the past. No matter where I go, I can remember the past. Only Xiang Liu did not accompany her in Wushen Mountain. You can't just kick the person away like a dream.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Who is the shadow going to Fang Feng Bei to steal the marriage from? Qingshui Town, accompanied by Yaotong in January, interrogates Sang Tianer’s famous line Yao to find Yu Xin

1. Thousands of miles of clouds and twilight snow on thousands of mountains. To whom is the shadow going? Explanation from Jin Chaoyuan 's " Moyu'er·Yanqiu Ci ": I have traveled thousands of miles, and I am alone, with a long and uncertain future. Every year in the cold and summer, I fly thousands of miles over thousands of mountains, the morning wind blows and the evening snows, and I lose the love of my life. What's the point of surviving alone, alone?

2. Was she alone after being robbed, or was she alone after leaving Xiang Liu?

3. Up to this chapter, I still stand and understand that two people love each other and cannot be together. The second chapter is because Qingshui Town is a very special place in the wilderness. Sang Tianer is full of children and grandchildren, and ordinary people can live a peaceful and ordinary life here. It can be seen that except for Qingshui Town, various clans are competing for interests everywhere. So she is not with Xiang Liu and wants to go back because she wants to help the world. And looking back for Jing is what Xiang Liu expressed in Chapter 20. Tu Shan Jing accompanied her, and Xiang Liu died peacefully.

Chapter 33: The wind is uncertain, and Jingyao went to Qingqiu to find Tushan Jing to become his doctor, and Jing gave him fish pills for consultation.

1. From " Tian Xianzi " by Zhang Xian of the Northern Song Dynasty. The author did not go to attend the government gathering, so he went for a walk in the small garden at dusk to relieve the depression that had been lingering in his heart since noon. The sky quickly darkened, and waterfowl slept on the beach beside the pond. Night gradually enveloped the earth. There was supposed to be a moon this night, but unexpectedly the night sky was filled with clouds and there was no moonlight. Since it was already dark, let's go back. Just at this time, the wind started blowing, and suddenly the clouds opened and the moon came out, and the flowers were blown by the wind, and they actually danced and made shadows under the moonlight. The sentence "people are quiet at first" means that because it is late at night and people are quiet, the wind on the spring night becomes more and more fierce; related to the title of "not going to the government meeting", the author's "people are quiet" here probably refers to the singing and dancing scenes in the government at this time. Let's break up; combined with the last sentence, we can see the author's deep affection for cherishing spring, recalling the past, and cherishing others. Good times don't last forever. The brilliant purples and reds that were still shadowing under the moon just now will probably fly down the path in the garden after this ruthless spring breeze. The concluding sentence is rich in connotation, including the melancholy of the passing of spring, the melancholy of lamenting one's old age, and the secret joy of enjoying the spring.

2. The wedding ended, and Yao didn’t finish the whole process, which made her feel sad and secretly happy at the same time.

Chapter 36: Flowers bloom and say goodbye to old friends. Huang Di Jing plays chess and Yao Jing travels to Taoyuan to find relatives.

1. Say goodbye to old friends after many, many years. It refers to Emperor Gao Xin and also refers to Xiao Yao.

2. During the chess game, Huangdi lamented that Jingzhi was not here.

3. Yao Jing went on a trip, and Yao Jing said she looked like her mother.

4. In fact, she should have reconciled with her parents when she came here to find her relatives in Taoyuan.

Chapter 37: Love will always accompany the white-haired soul of the old Jun Emperor of Qingshan to return to his hometown Jiuli to explore the worms under the moon and sing the songs of the Yellow Emperor.

1. Love always stays with Qingshan Laozhi’s white-haired Jundi, and his feelings for Aheng also accompany him as he grows old. Xiaoyao brings a cup of Taoyuan red soil and scatters it in the Jiuli peach forest. It can also be regarded as the love between parents always accompanies Qingshan. Xiang Liu also accompanies Qingshan...

2. Listening to the song under the moonlight, Yao finally understood Xiang Liu’s feelings and no longer had unrequited love. But whether she would jump without Jing, I don’t think so.

3. The reconciliation is to clear Huang Di’s name. Cang Xuan was very painful that he had to look after the country and could not travel with Xiaoyao, but his love could accompany the country.

Chapter 38: The war is close, Kong Nai collects prescriptions to attack Gao Xin Yaoxuan, confronts Jing and reveals the criteria for asking for a wife. In the past eight years, everyone has solved the poison many times and dragged the man in brocade clothes on the street.

1. The Black Emperor is not Xuanyuan Emperor, and the Jun Emperor is not Chi You. It really means being forced to be concave. Otherwise, it means that Black Emperor will not use Xiao Yao to contain Xiang Liu, leading to tragedy.

Chapter 39: After ten years of lovesickness and bitter war, Yaoxuanjing went to Gaoxin, where Fenglongjing chatted and A Nian assassinated Nianxuan and chatted.

1. It’s just the pain of lovesickness that I’ve told you all.

2. Fang Xiangxi repeatedly emphasized that Emperor Jun was not Chi You. Highlighting the Black Emperor's tolerant policy .

3. Black Emperor learned about Gaoxin’s crisis from Anian’s mouth

4. This lovesickness should be caused by Anian to Cangxuan.

Chapter 40: The whole family in the world has a great victory in production and Gao Xin has rebelled internally. Anian went to the war on behalf of his father. Emperor Jun made abdication and made Nianxuan engaged.

1. Ah Nian admires his brother and would rather fight than marry him. Xiaoyao would rather die than surrender to General Xiang Liu for the sake of his brother.

Chapter 43: Missing you every day,  the albatross kills you without seeing you, the big whirlpool rescues you in your true form, meets your left ear, and you sing under the moonlight to Liu Gehai Tu

1. It comes from " Bu Suanzi·I Live at the Head of the Yangtze River " written by Li Zhiyi in the Song Dynasty . The explanation is that I live at the source of the Yangtze River and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day and never see you, but we drink the water of the Yangtze River together. When will the endless river dry up, and when will the bitter hatred of separation cease. I only hope that your heart will stay as strong as mine, and you will not let down my infatuated love.

2. Here and the water under Xiangliu, who does she miss when Xiangliu comes? Those who had enough to eat and drink in those few days... Infer that Si Jing could have enough to eat and drink? Why did she insist on going here when she knew it was a trap? If this chapter is about missing Jing who died, is Yongjun living at the head of the Yangtze River? I live at the end of the Yangtze River?

3. Even if Jing dies, you still have to live. You can’t live up to the friendship of others who saved you! So she sang under the moon and told Xiang Liu that she would live well and wait for her beloved. Corresponding to the faceless man in the ice crystal, Jing is dead and there are others.

Chapter 44: Old people’s hearts change. Concubine Li Rong puts out lanterns and has a banquet. She is happy and prosperous. Then she kills Yao Zuoer and saves Xiao Yao.

1. From the Qing Dynasty Nalan Xingde 's " Magnolia·Cambodian Friends " It would be wonderful if we all get along like the first time we met, then there would be no current pain of parting and missing each other. Now it is easy to change your heart, but you say that it is easy for lovers to change their hearts. I still remember the eternal vows between the Tang Emperor and his concubine, but they finally made a decisive difference. Even so, there was no room for resentment. But how can you compare with the Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty ? He still had affairs with Yang Yuhuan such as Biyiniao and Lian Lizhi.

2. At the lantern banquet, Lirong and his brother persuaded Xiaoyao to live a good life. Some said it was Xiang Liuming, others said it was Jing's friend. I here identify him as Jing’s friend. Some authors also want to express their thoughts through the two of them, hoping that Xiaoyao can live independently after Xiang Liu's death.

3. The word change is also related to: Xiaoyao will accompany Zuoer for a journey. Said he would become more powerful in the future. I just don't want to be without her in such changes in the future. This is her change of mentality from staying together for a lifetime to being together for a journey. She might have really let go of Xiang Liu.

Chapter 48: Hearts with Thousands of Knots Yushan rescues each other , deletes memories and solves lover's poison

1. All the knots in my heart are resolved. The relationship with my brother, the relationship with Xiang Liu, the relationship with Jing, and the relationship with the world. So I want to be the Queen Mother.

Chapter 49: The meeting was like a dream. The queen mother Jing who died in childhood returns and Xuanjing confesses.

1. Explanation from " Partridge Sky: Colorful Sleeves Holding the Jade Bell attentively " by Yan Jidao of the Song Dynasty: Tonight I raise the silver lamp to look at you carefully, lest this encounter is in a dream again. Appreciation: The meeting in the dream is ultimately empty, but the lovesickness after waking up becomes deeper and more profound. So much so that when we actually meet, we can't tell whether it's a dream or reality, and we're afraid of waking up again with even more painful lovesickness in our heart and lungs.

2. When undoing the poison, it looks like a sleeping spell from the perspective of Lord Xian. So the two did meet in a dream... It was the night of the moon when they were rescued in thirty-seven years, and it was early morning when Yao woke up. So Yao should hear and see everything.

3. Who doesn’t want to wake up? Who wants to be together for another thirty-seven years? When I woke up after being detoxed, the white shadow in front of me seemed like a dream.
