ABOUT LONG LOVESICKNESS "YAOLIU"❤️❤️

"Yaoliu's symmetrical aesthetic"

A- Nian went to look for it, and saw fiery red snake-eyed heather covering a remote cliff in the sea and blue sky. The flowers bloomed beautifully. Xiaotian was dressed in white  and sat barefoot on a black rock. The waves roared and crashed. At his feet.

On the edge of the clear water there are branches of red polygonum flowers . The flowers are a rich red color, and are especially beautiful because of the rain.

Xiang Liu stood by the river, looking at the water and sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Like the couple's outfits:

About "Xiang Liu raised the corners of his lips, raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking at Xiao Yao on the peach blossom boat, and said: "The person Xiao Yao misses most is Tu Shanjing.

Xiang Liu said that the person Xiao Tian longed for was Tu Shanjing. Who can tell me what was going on in his mind at that time?

▲Have you agreed with TA’s content?

Let’s do a Chinese reading comprehension question:

When an old mother of a chicken baby talked about her child's academic performance, she raised the corners of her lips, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Hey, he is just a scumbag." What was her real thought in her heart?

A. Her child is really a scumbag, and she feels very painful, anxious and lost inside.

B. Her child is a top student, which makes her feel happy but embarrassed.

The answer is "B"

So the conclusion is that when Xiangliu said that the person Xiaoyao missed the most was Tsj, Xiangliu was making a joke, Xiangliu knew that what Xiaoyao missed was himself.

The key is : raised the corners of his lips, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Yaoliu from a spectator’s perspective

In almost every relationship in the book, there are bystanders who jump out of the perspective of the person involved in the story to more clearly portray the full picture of the character or event from the side.

The bystanders of Yaoxuan are like Huangdi and Xinyue, the bystanders of Yaojing are like Huangdi, Zhuanxu, and Fenglong, and the bystanders of Xuannian are like Huangdi, Jundi, and Xiaoyao.

The bystanders in Yaoliu include Emperor Jun, Chishui Xian, Anian, Junjun and Zhuanxu, as well as Huangdi who sees everything (my grandfather is actually the biggest melon owner in the book).

Huangdi's line is the longest observer's perspective.

Since both Yaoxuan and Yaojing are on the bright side, Xiaoyao will not be secretive when talking about them, and onlookers will have clear understanding and judgment; while Yaoliu is on the dark side, and Xiaoyao rarely talks about it with others. .

Xiaoyao and Xiaoliu have a common characteristic when they speak: they keep their words to themselves and only tell the part of the truth that can be heard. If Xiao Yao really said everything, it would be impossible to keep the secret that Fang Feng Bei was Xiang Liu until the end. She hid Xiang Liu and Fang Feng Bei from her relatives and friends, just like she hid her origins and relationship with Xuan from Xiang Liu in Qingshui Town. The approach is exactly the same.

The Zhuyanhua no longer has the function of transformation. Xiaoyao's face corresponds to Xiaoyao's identity, and Xiaoyao's identity means that she is restricted in what she says and does. She is almost never in front of her relatives and friends. When it comes to his feelings for Xiang Liu, everyone except Huang Di.

Perhaps because he knew that his grandfather felt guilty about his grandmother and mother, and felt indebted to himself, he became more careless. Perhaps because she cared more about Xiang Liu being Zhuan Xu's enemy, and my grandfather had given up his power and abdicated, so Xiang Liu was not considered his enemy. Perhaps because she had talked about her husband before, she had expressed her feelings in a joking way, so she was not as wary of her grandfather. She may even find that her grandfather can understand her and see through her thoughts, and she secretly hopes that this wise old man can give her some guidance and help.

Grandpa is actually the only person in this story who Xiaoyao will take the initiative to reveal even a little bit of his feelings for Xiang Liu.

Before writing about Yaoliu from Grandpa’s perspective, let’s first write about Xiaoyao from Grandpa’s perspective:

When Xiaoyao just returned to Yunfeng, Huangdi said:

Huang Di stared at Xiao Yao for a while and sighed, "You actually have such a personality, completely opposite to your mother and your grandmother."
Xiao Yao giggled and made a face at Huang Di, "What's so good about being like them? ? It’s just an advantage for the man and a pain for myself!”
<1-15 Thinking about the past can easily lead to injury>

This is Huangdi's first impression of his granddaughter whom he has not seen for more than three hundred years. It is also the image Xiaoyao creates to the outside world. It is the way Xiaoyao lets himself show: I will not compromise my sincerity for a man.

But later, Huangdi often felt that Xiaoyao looked like her grandmother and mother.

After the marriage is decided, it is time to discuss the wedding date.
Jing thought the sooner the better...
Huang Di asked Xiaoyao what he thought about the wedding date.
Xiaoyao looked at the busy doctors outside the window, thought for a while , and said: "I want to wait until the compilation of medical books is settled before confirming the wedding date."
Huang Di said: " This is not a matter of two or three years . Are you sure? " "?"
Xiaoyao nodded: "The "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" has been in my hands for more than four hundred years. It has saved my life, but I have never done anything for it, or in other words, I want to do it for that person who has been everywhere. Emperor Yan who tasted hundreds of herbs and died of poisoning should do something. What he spent his whole life on should not become just a tool for a few doctors to exchange for money and fame." Huang Di sighed: "Xiao Yao, you keep saying that
you are not like Your mother, actually, you are very similar to your mother! "
Xiaoyao frowned: "I'm not like her!"
Huang Di smiled: "Okay, not like her, not like her!"
In the evening, when Zhuanxu came to Xiaoyueding, he heard that When Xiaoyao decided on the wedding date, she smiled and said: "Very good."
Perhaps because she was engaged to Jing, Xiaoyao began to realize that her days in Xiaoyue Ding were limited, and the time she spent with Zhuanxu was not infinite ; perhaps because Xuanyuan Although there were casualties in the war with Gao Xin, no one Xiaoyao knew died. If he didn't inquire carefully, he would hardly feel the war thousands of miles away. Xiaoyao no longer avoided Zhuanxu. The relationship between the two resumed . Every evening, Zhuanxu would come and spend some time talking and laughing with Xiaoyao.
<3-5 The enemy is so close that nothing can be done>

Judging from the content of the conversation , Huangdi said that Xiaoyao is like Aheng, which means that her act of compiling medical books for the world is like her mother. No matter what she says, she still has great love in her heart. Although Xiaoyao really has it in her heart, This point of great love is doubtful.

But from the writing point of view, it has another meaning.

Here we first use contrast : Jing desperately wants to get married, while Xiaoyao "thought about it for a while" and decided to compile medical books first.

Then the topic changed . After getting engaged to Jing, "the time spent with Zhuanxu is not unlimited" and "restored the previous relationship" with Zhuanxu .

After this paragraph, the timeline is quickly drawn :

Winter comes and summer comes, and the peaceful days pass extremely quickly. Before I know it, eight years have passed.
<3-5 The enemy is so close that nothing can be done>

Next : Xiaoyao meets a man in brocade clothes on the road, chasing after chasing after catching Xiang Liu along the way.

According to the normal development of romance, if the author wants to highlight the love between two people, he must write about the interactions between them and their alone time together.

But what is the author doing? First, it compares how Jing was anxious after getting engaged while Xiao Yao was not anxious, and then writes about how the brother and sister get along, and then writes about Xiao Yao running into her ex-boyfriend and chasing her all the way, and a long paragraph about Xiao Yao recognizing Xiang Liu based on intuition alone. A plot that drives the plot forward. What exactly do you want to highlight?

You taste it, you taste it carefully.

Can’t medical books be revised in Qingqiu? Even when he married Fenglong, Fenglong said that he had arrived in Chishui:

If you like to learn medical skills, you can continue to learn. Even if you want to practice medicine in the future, I will definitely support it.
<2-14 Chasing the past makes me miserable>

So why can’t I study medical books after getting married? Qingqiu has no table or house? Isn’t the home of the richest man in Dahuang not big enough? Taking ten thousand steps back, Qingqiu just can't study medical books. After getting married, Xiaoyao will live in Xiaoyue Ding and continue to study medical books. Jing will never object even a word, right?

But the author just wanted to write. She said she wanted to study medicine first and then get married.

Very subtle.

Compare this to the last time Xiaoyao was about to marry Fenglong , she first sent an ice crystal ball to Xiang Liu, and then went to Qingqiu. What is this doing? Just like undoing poison and not making poison, if you really get married, you have to say goodbye to the past. Clean up the previous relationships.

Obviously, although Xiaoyao and Jing were engaged, she was not ready to get married. It is really necessary to study the medical books, but you must complete the medical books before getting married. It is very much like an excuse to delay marriage. Why delay? It's nothing more than that I am still thinking about someone in my heart and need to give myself time to let go and forget.

So much so that it took forty-two years for the medical book to be completed:

Back at Shennong Mountain, Xiaoyao suddenly found that there was nothing to do. She couldn't adapt, so she
discussed with Jing: "Do you think I should go to Zezhou City to open a medical clinic?" "
But Zezhou is close, and Qingqiu City is far away. It's inconvenient to go back and forth every day!"
"If you live in Qingqiu, Qingqiu City must be more convenient."
"Huh? I live in Qingqiu?" Xiaoyao still didn't react for a moment.
Jing said with a smile: "The Tushan Mansion in Qingqiu has already been packed and arranged, and the wedding can be held at any time."
<3-8 Passionate but always ruthless>

It can be seen almost clearly from this conversation that Xiaoyao wants companionship. Once she has adapted and got used to this companionship, it will not matter whether she gets married or not. Anyway, this person has been locked in.

Huangdi was happy to see the marriage between Xiaoyao and Jing. One of the reasons was naturally that he discovered that Zhuanxu had unusual feelings for Xiaoyao and wanted to end his thoughts about him quickly, otherwise he would become an infatuated emperor. What to do. He was different from Emperor Jun. Emperor Jun advised Xiaoyao to stay away from Xiang Liu because he wanted to protect Xiaoyao, while Emperor Huang wanted to protect his heir.

What about other reasons? Let me guess the old man's heart privately: Zhuanxu, you don't know, your sister has fallen in love with the devil Xiang Liu. If she doesn’t get married quickly, there’s no telling how many things will happen in the future!

Putting it this way, it feels like Huangdi is actually more anxious than Jing to get Xiaoyao to get married soon.

Therefore, when Huangdi said: "You and your mother are very similar" , another meaning is: you and your mother have the same vision, and they both fall in love with the person you shouldn't love.

Xiaoyao said she was afraid of men like Huangdi, Jundi and her brother, but in fact the type she loved was exactly the same as the one her mother and grandmother loved. It's hard to say what would have happened to Xiaoyao and her cousin if her cousin hadn't needed to use her power to push her to Jing and Fenglong at the beginning.

You don’t know it, but genes are really amazing, and their visions are all the same.

But besides Huangdi initially saying that Xiaoyao looked a bit like Alei, when he thought of Alei through Xiaoyao, it was mostly because of the state of Xiaoyao and Jing:

Huang Di didn't know whether it was because he was getting old, or because Xiaoyao with her eyes closed looked too much like the young girl in his memory , Huang Di felt that his eyes were a little sore. He made countless people happy in his life, but most of his relatives were unhappy. Just like the sun, its radiance shines on the earth and makes all things grow, but those who are really close to the sun will be burned. He is already old, and his past cannot be traced back. But now, he hopes that the warmth of embracing each other under the locust tree can really last forever.
<3-1 The east wind is evil and happiness is thin>
Xiaoyao with lowered eyes looks so much like her! Huang Di seemed to see Xiao Yao in front of him guarding a lonely room and growing old quickly. His hair was stained with flying frost, and his flower-like face was withered. The old and lonely figure in Chaoyun Palace overlapped with Xiao Yao in front of him. Huang Di couldn't bear to look at it anymore. , suddenly closed his eyes.
<3-9 Hun Meng An Neng Ding>

Through Huangdi's perspective, we saw the peaceful years of Xiaoyao and Jing, and also saw the heavy blow that Jing's "death" brought to Xiaoyao. I saw that Jing could give Xiaoyao the stable life she wanted, and I also saw the overwhelming sadness after the huge hope was shattered.

But after reading "Zeng Xunuo", you will know what kind of relationship between Huangdi and Alei. Alei liked Huangdi, but Huangdi's feelings for her were not pure. But they have been together through thick and thin, and they have built the Xuanyuan Kingdom together. Even if it is not love, after all, the husband and wife still have a deep and complicated friendship when they work together.

Huang Di seemed to have guessed what Xiao Yao was thinking, and said: "Your grandmother was once as young as you. Her beauty and talent were famous all over the country. Many good men wanted to marry her, but unfortunately, she chose the wrong person . "
<1-15 Thinking about the past can easily lead to injury>

Huang Di believed that Ah Le had "chosen the wrong person" when she chose him , and he ended up feeling haggard and unhappy in his life. He hopes that Xiaoyao will get what Alei didn't get; there are too many factors mixed up between Alei and himself, and there is no true eternal life, he hopes that Xiaoyao and Jing can "really" last forever; Xiaoyao loses Jing, so that he I think of Ah Lei after she broke up with him, her hair stained with frost and her face withered.

Huangdi and Alei, like Zhuanxu and A Nian, do not directly correspond to Yaojing, but to some extent it shows that there are some similarities in their emotions, and some supplementary explanations are provided through the perspective of a third party. Therefore, Xuan Nian will remind Xiao Yao of Jing, and Yao Jing will remind Huang Di of A Le, and the similarities arouse empathy. On the other hand, if Huangdi saw Xiaoyao and Xiangliu, he probably wouldn't think of himself and Alei. He might think of his daughter and Chiyou, like Shaohao.

Let’s look at Yaoliu from the grandpa’s perspective . First, there are several connected plots:

Yaoliu swims together at the bottom of the sea.

The Yellow Emperor inspected the Central Plains.

Zhuan Xu and Feng Long met, and Xiao Yao met Jing Jing for the first time after her marriage.

Zhuanxu took the initiative to ask Xiaoyao how he felt after seeing Jing, and Xiaoyao said that she was actually a little happy to see him feel uncomfortable.

Xiaoyao had insomnia at night and took medicine to fall asleep.

I dreamed of Jing...
Fangfeng Bei appeared on the sea. He sat on the white seashells and looked at her with a smile. His dark hair was fluttering in the sea breeze. Xiaoyao swam towards him, but suddenly, his hair suddenly Bits and pieces turned white, and he turned into Xiangliu, looking at her indifferently. The white shells and white Xiangliu were like icebergs floating on the sea.
He with black hair, him with white hair, suddenly near and far away...
Xiaoyao suddenly turned around and swam towards the land, paddling with tears streaming down his face ... Xiaoyao woke up from her dream, and there was cold wetness beside her pillow. Unexpectedly, when I touched my cheek, I realized that it was actually full of tears.
2-10<Let the calm ground make waves>

At this point, it can be clearly seen that Xiaoyao can no longer avoid her feelings for Xiang Liu in her heart. But Zhuanxu's crisis was right in front of her, and she had no time to take care of herself.

Until Xiaoyao and Fenglong got engaged and Zhuanxu came to the throne, Xiaoyao suddenly relaxed and began to be in a daze for a long time.

Grandpa recalled Ah Le and sighed that he could have descendants like Cheng Huan one day. He said:

"When I was young, I was always full of energy and refused to give in for some things that I thought were very important. When things happened, I realized that I was wrong, but it was already too late." Huang Di looked at Xiao Yao and said sincerely, " Xiao Yao , you must also remember that sometimes, taking a step back may not mean losing."
Xiaoyao lay on the window, silent.
2-12<The smoke and water are vast, the meaning is unforgettable>

Grandpa's words may have meant that Xiaoyao wanted to accept Fenglong from the bottom of his heart, but in fact, Xiaoyao was thinking of Xiang Liu and Jing through these words.

What is the persistence that you have always thought is very important? Always hope that the other party will take the initiative instead of taking the initiative yourself, and insist that the other party pay first instead of yourself.

Things change. Jing, who she had placed her hope on, left, acquiescing to Xiang Liu's rejection and not fighting for it again. Intention and powerless, strong and no intention, only Fenglong is willing to give himself a harbor to dock.

wrong. But it was already too late. Xiang Liu pretended not to understand the hint that he wanted to travel around the world together. Before she could express her feelings, she agreed to marry Feng Long. The one who loves him has married and has children, but the one he loves has quietly moved away.

Later Huangdi asked her to learn from A-Nian:

Xiao Yao said calmly: "It's because of you and Zhuan Xu that I don't dare to be willful and indulgent. My bloodline is bound to restrain me, so why should I deceive myself? If I say, now I go to play with Xiang Liu , will you agree?"
Huang Di was silent. , with a very complicated expression on his face, said after a while: "I won't agree. Zhuanxu will fight him to the death sooner or later. I don't want you to suffer in the future , but I will do my best to meet your other requests." "
...I know, you want to What I owe my mother, eldest uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle are all my fault, but no matter how powerful I am , they can't guarantee my happiness. What's more, what you owe them is what you owe them. You can never make up for it, and I don't want it either!... ”
2-12<The smoke and water are vast, the meaning is unforgettable>

The most important things in this passage are "My bloodline is destined to be bound" , "If I were to go and play with Xiang Liu now, would you agree?" , and "No matter how powerful I am, I can't guarantee my happiness . " At this time, Xiaoyao seemed to show his sincerity, but he also said very clearly that "the reason why I am not with Xiang Liu is my bloodline" rather than "I don't want to be with him." On the surface, it is a rational attitude, but hidden is the emotional belonging.

And Huangdi also completely understood. "Go and play with Xiang Liu" is not a simple playmate at all. If it is just a playmate, there will be no "pain later" .

Huang Di could see clearly that the person his granddaughter had always cared about most was Xiang Liu. Decades ago, when I asked myself on Chaoyun Peak of Xuanyuan Mountain, "Is it okay if I am your enemy?" I was also referring to Xiang Liu. After all, apart from the Shennong Rebels who refused to surrender, there were no enemies for him in the world. Thinking about it again, Xiaoyao was retrieved from Qingshui Town and whose territory Qingshui Town belongs to. This enemy cannot be Old Man Gonggong, it must be the nine-headed demon.

Decades have passed, and this little girl is still thinking about the Nine-Life Xiangliu. Huang Di persuaded and helped his granddaughter think of a way to ask Zhuan Xu to try to recruit Prime Minister Liu.

" See if there is any way to recruit Xiang Liu to surrender. I know it is very difficult . Over the past hundreds of years, Qing, Hou Tu, Cang Lin, and Xiao Zhu Rong have all tried, but they were all rejected by Xiang Liu . But I still hope you will come again. Give it a try."
"Okay." Zhuanxu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why does grandpa pay attention to Xiang Liu?"
Huang Di said: "It's just a little guilt from a bad old man ."
2-12 <The smoke is blurred, the meaning is unforgettable>

What are you feeling guilty about? "Zeng Promise" tells the story of the role Huang Di played in the tragedies of his daughters Aheng and Chiyou. He never thought about sacrificing his daughter, but he did promote the tragedy, and it did indirectly cause Xiaoyao to lose her parents and be sent to Yushan. After experiencing all kinds of things in the future, she has the current personality and psychological trauma. .

Based on this guilt, he hoped that his granddaughter would not repeat the fate of his mother. Faced with this problem, the shrewd and wise Huangdi, the only way he could think of was to eliminate the obstacle between Xiaoyao and Xiangliu - stance.

He could see clearly that Xiaoyao loved Xiangliu; but the tragedy of Xiaoyao's parents was due to this natural chasm.

Behind him is Shennong; behind me is Xuanyuan. He cannot abandon Shennong; I cannot abandon Xuanyuan.
<3-3 Flowers bloom and farewell to old friends>

Aheng's words completely fit Xiaoyao and Xiangliu.

But no matter how much Xiaoyao kept thinking about it, she was already engaged to Fenglong. When we met again, at Old Man Li Rong's tavern, on the way Bei sent her back to Xiaozhurong Mansion, no matter how much she thought or didn't want to, she already understood Xiang Liu, understood Xiang Liu, and understood his choice.

Xiaoyao stopped practicing archery , perhaps because after Zhuanxu ascended the throne, Xiaoyao felt that the crisis was over and was no longer as self-disciplined as before. The whole person became very lazy, as if he had no interest in anything and didn't want to do anything. He just liked to sleep every day. When I wake up from a lazy sleep, it is often already noon. After dinner, I went to see Huangdi and sat in Huangdi's palace, listlessly in a daze.
2-12<The smoke and water are vast, the meaning is unforgettable>

When Zhuanxu's crisis was lifted and a string in Xiaoyao's mind relaxed, and nothing could occupy her thoughts, the long-suppressed emotions swept over like a flood, and Xiaoyao's heart exploded silently.

Xiaoyao no longer practices archery, which is a hint.

Archery is undeniably a close connection between Yao and Liu, but after Xiang Liu expressed his attitude, Xiao Yao seemed even more confused about the future. Giving up practicing archery was like breaking a connection with Xiang Liu. On the other hand, if she kept practicing archery, she might think of Xiang Liu from time to time. But she didn't want to think of him anymore. I wonder if she would often recall that Xiang Liu asked her "Are you leaving" under the lilac tree ? But when she hinted that she "really wanted to see it" , she remained "silent" . Lilac, the pain of first love, a love destined to be hopeless.

Zhuanxu came to her and asked her:

"Xiaoyao, how are you doing? Are you happy?"
...
Xiaoyao said: " No, you didn't do anything wrong. It was me who made the mistake. "
"Xiaoyao, tell me."
Xiaoyao remained silent. .
Zhuan Xu sat next to Xiao Yao and whispered: "Xiao Yao, what can't you tell me?"
Xiao Yao finally said : "After I separated from Jing, I felt bad and couldn't sleep well, but I I thought it was nothing, it had always been normal, but after you came to the throne, I didn’t know why, but I suddenly felt very tired and felt that nothing was interesting to watch. Without the pressure of having to get up and work hard the next day, I couldn’t sleep well at night. I often thought of and During the days when Jing was in Qingshui Town , she often thought of the days when we were young in Chaoyundian. I like those times, but I don’t like that I always recall the past. No matter how beautiful the past is, the past is the past . I don’t understand why I am so It's useless to be weak, I don't like myself now..."
2-12 <The smoke and water are blurred, the meaning is unforgettable>

This is what Xiaoyao told Zhuanxu.

On the surface, Xiaoyao was talking about Jing, which also aroused Zhuanxu's thoughts about Jing. Losing Jing was a big blow to Xiaoyao. Understanding from Zhuanxu’s perspective:

Xiaoyao seems to be free and uninhibited, but because of her childhood experience, in fact, Xiaoyao longs for a stable family more than anyone else , otherwise she wouldn't have been able to find a home for herself as Wen did in Xiaoliu.
Xiaoyao put all her expectations on Jing. Jing's departure became the straw that broke the camel's back . Xiaoyao couldn't bear it anymore. It was clear that she could no longer bear it, but at that time, the battle for the crown prince in Xuanyuan was at its most dangerous. For Zhuanxu, Xiaoyao still turned a blind eye to the hurt in her heart. She didn't collapse until Zhuanxu was safe.
Zhuanxu felt sad and hated Jing for the first time. Xiaoyao's trust and expectation required unimaginable courage and effort. That was building a house on numerous wounds, but Jing shattered Xiaoyao's trust and expectations.
2-12<The smoke and water are vast, the meaning is unforgettable>

But if that's all it is, then the plot before and after is very incoherent. Read it carefully. The first part is a silent farewell to Fangfeng Bei. The second part is about Zhuanxu marrying Xinyue three years later. A Nian persuades Xiaoyao to return to Wushen Mountain. She once wrote to Xiang Liu and proposed to cure the poison, and then stayed in Wushen Mountain. Thirteen months later, he was captured by Zhuanxu.

It can be said that this passage neither inherits the past nor initiates the future, it is very jumpy. Although we did see Xiaoyao's sadness and depression, she only told part of the reasons.

Xiaoyao said, "I made the mistake myself . " What went wrong?

Later, I said that I don’t like myself now, and I often think of the days when I was with Jing in Qingshui Town. But we know that Jing is not alone in Qingshui Town. Those colorful memories of the days in Qingshui Town, those brilliance that can be engraved into life, the person that I want to find with high specificity when I feel lonely, is Xiang Liu.

Combined with the previous article in this chapter, "It was only when things changed that I realized I was wrong." She knew she was wrong and had been passively waiting to be chosen, which led to today's situation. Those who have no intention, and those who have no intention, all leave her. One wrong step after another made her unhappy. She lived like an ostrich in her memories, but she knew she couldn't live like this forever.

But Xiaoyao could never talk about Xiang Liu in front of Zhuan Xu.

So we see, "Xiao Yao remained silent" and "Xiao Yao finally spoke . " That was her dearest and most trusted brother, but she couldn't say it, and she couldn't deceive him, so just like Wen Xiaoliu, she thought about it for a long time and only selectively said something that could be said. Even though her brother thought she was only sad because of Jing, he didn't reveal any secrets related to Xiang Liu.

After Zhuanxu married Xinyue, Xiaoyao felt that Zhuanxu had been taken away by Xinyue, and she was further away from Zhuanxu.

Xiaoyao's problem of not sleeping well at night still persists . She usually doesn't get up until noon. After eating, she goes to Yiqing Garden to stay. She doesn't swim either . She sits alone by the water and stares blankly at the water.
One time, Emperor Jun walked into Yiqing Garden. It was already dark, but Xiaoyao was still sitting by the water . With her spiritual power, she probably couldn't see the night as day.
Emperor Jun asked: "You have been meditating by the water every day for several months. What have you come up with?"

"A Shadow Headed in Which Direction"

Seeing a wild goose die in love

Huan Haowen "Mo Yu'er·Yanqiu Ci"

"Ask the world, what is love? Direct teaching of life and death. How many times has the old wing been cold and hot? Happy and fun, parting is hard, and there are even more idiots. Jun Yingyou said: There are thousands of miles of clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who is the only shadow going for?

Hengfen Road, lonely in those days with the flute and drums, the barren smoke is still calm. Conjuring up the soul, He Yiji, the mountain ghosts cry from the wind and rain. Heaven is also jealous, Untrustworthy, Ying'er and Yanzi are all loess. For thousands of years, in order to keep the Sao people, they sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu."

Seeing a wild goose die in love

" Yuan Haowen was a famous writer in the late Jin Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. When he was 16 years old, he went to Bingzhou (in Taiyuan today) to take an exam. On the road, he met a man who hunted wild geese and heard him tell a strange story: that morning. After capturing a wild goose and killing it, another wild goose that escaped from the catching net hovered in the air, wailing, refused to leave, and finally hit the ground quickly and died.

Legend has it that the wild geese are very loyal. They are truly consciously monogamous. If one of a pair of wild geese dies unfortunately, the other will never find a partner for life. Therefore, there are always descriptions of lone geese in ancient Poems.

Someone in Dangkou Town, Wuxi caught a wild goose and was about to slaughter it for cooking. When a scholar saw it, he felt compassion for him, so he spent money to buy the wild goose and take it home as a pet. He was worried that the wild goose would escape, so he tied up its two wings with a string so that the wild goose could not fly. The scholar raises it among chickens, ducks and poultry, and it is usually docile, but as soon as he hears the chirping of geese in the air, he keeps his head up and crying. One day, a group of wild geese flew over the sky, and the wild geese screamed loudly. Suddenly a wild geese flew down from the sky and stopped on the eaves. The two wild geese cried relative to each other, flapping their wings as if they had known each other. The wild goose on the ground wants to let the one on the eaves come down, and the wild goose on the eaves wants to bring the one on the ground up. The scholar saw this and understood that these two wild geese must be their former partners, so he cut the thread on the wings of the wild geese on the ground and let them fly away. But this big goose's wings had been tied for too long and could no longer fly. It fluttered its wings, but it just flopped and fell off. It failed repeatedly. The big geese on the eaves guarded it there until it was getting dark, and suddenly flew down from the eaves, and mourned each other beside the geese who were unable to fly. The scholar went to look again the next day, and the two wild geese were already dead.

Moyu'er·Yanqiu Ci" is a lyrical poem. On the surface, it is a metaphor for human love by describing the love of a pair of geese, but in fact it is not just about love. Behind this poem, it also reflects Yuan Haowen's longing for his soul mate and life confident.

How much joy, how much pain, or infatuation like children in the world. The wild goose who sacrificed for love thought to himself at that time: That evening, I crossed thousands of miles of clouds and overlooked the earth, thousands of mountains, all covered by thick snow. It's freezing cold, and the future is uncertain. Now in this world, I am the only one left. Who can come and walk with me? Without a partner, why should I move on?
The relationship between this pair of geese, I am afraid that even the gods will be jealous. Such an infatuated wild goose, I don't believe that after it dies, it will turn into a handful of loess just like those ordinary warblers and swallows. Therefore, when Yuan Haowen became an adult, when he recalled the incident of the death of a geese in love, what he saw in his eyes was no longer a simple relationship between a man and a woman. This kind of feeling is a feeling of longing for "confidant" on a larger scale, including the love between men and women.

A person is actually very afraid of loneliness. But it is very regrettable that most of the time in one's life, one has to face loneliness.We all want to find a soul mate who shares the same aspirations as ourselves, because only in this way can we support us through this lonely and lonely life.No matter if the road ahead is Qianshan Muxue or Huohai Daoshan. As long as there is such a soul mate who is willing to come and walk with us, then we have nothing to fear . On the contrary, we may even lose the confidence to live.

The ancients often said: A scholar dies for a confidant. At the beginning of this poem, a question sentence has been passed to point out the theme of the poem. That is - what kind of feelings can make a person make a contract with another person without fear of life and death?

Everyone is afraid of death. Why do some people not only do not fear death, but actively ask for death after losing their soulmate? Could it be that all of this stems only from the instinctive impulse of animals? Obviously not so.

In fact, the goose who sacrificed for love in the poem did not die for "love", but for the sake of "a thousand mountains and twilight snow, only to whom the shadow goes"! Yuan Haowen obviously felt that it was very difficult to find a soul mate who was willing to die for each other. So he wants to build a grave for Dayan, and then write this poem, so that the literati through the ages will take this opportunity to drink and cry because the confidant is hard to find.

"Sauvignon Blanc": Detailed explanation of the metaphor of snake demon and nine-tailed fox

Xiaoyao all told Xiang Liu, Tu Shanjing, and Zhuan Xu about her experiences with snake demons and nine-tailed foxes.

Let me summarize:

<Because Xiaoyao contracted a strange disease, she hid in the mountains without seeing anyone for more than 20 years. Thanks to the Queen Mother's strict supervision, her cultivation level is still good. Most ferocious birds and beasts are no match for her. In the mountains Life can be considered comfortable.

But no one talked to her, and she was very lonely. Later, she met a snake demon. The snake demon wanted to eat her and almost bit off one of her legs, but the snake demon could understand her words and responded to every one of her words. Every movement had a reaction. Xiaoyao knew that it was dangerous, but she still couldn't help it. She would run in front of it from time to time, making it go crazy. With the snake demon, life in the mountains would no longer be lonely. As time went by, the snake demon found her. She became more and more cunning and wanted to leave when she couldn't eat him. In order to keep the snake demon, she secretly ate the eggs it laid. Now they had a life-and-death feud. The snake demon refused to leave and chased after Xiaoyao. Want to kill her.

One day Xiaoyao met a man. He told Xiaoyao frankly that he was a monster, was seriously injured, and was looking for some healing herbs. He talked to Xiaoyao, and Xiaoyao talked to him. Xiaoyao was very wary at first. She would sit far away and talk to him, and then run away after saying a few words. But after a long time, Xiaoyao deliberately tested him several times, but he didn't reveal any intentions, so Xiaoyao talked to him a little more. He is not afraid of Xiaoyao's face changing, he even changes, and he changes when Xiaoyao changes. In front of him, Xiaoyao felt that she was neither a monster nor scary. Gradually, Xiaoyao believed him.

One night, he caught Xiaoyao and wanted to take Xiaoyao away. The snake demon who had always wanted to kill Xiaoyao got angry and came out to stop him, but he killed him. He took Xiaoyao to a place farther south, where the mountains were high and dangerous. In a secret cave, there was his lair. He built a cage and locked Xiaoyao up. He said that he was a nine-tailed fox demon. One of his tails was cut off a hundred years ago. His vitality was severely damaged and his cultivation level was greatly reduced. The nine-tailed fox did not kill Xiaoyao as soon as he caught her. He was blinded by hatred and greed. He raised Xiaoyao with all kinds of treasures and forced her to eat a lot of disgusting things. Xiaoyao had a special constitution. Raising her well for decades would be the best elixir. When he wanted to raise Xiaoyao fat, he would eat her and use her spiritual blood to restore his lost skills. Xiaoyao was raised and tortured by the nine-tailed fox for thirty years. In the beginning, Xiaoyao always wanted to escape, confront him, like scolding him and irritating him. Later, Xiaoyao didn't dare to provoke him anymore, so she remained silent and refused to cooperate, and tried to commit suicide, but failed several times. Later, Xiaoyao seemed to accept her fate and took pleasure in the misery, guessing what disgusting things the dead fox would catch for her to eat, and making bets with herself. Later, Xiaoyao hated him more and more, hated him crazily, and began to think of ways to collect materials and make poison. When the old fox eats her, she would eat it and poison him to death.

One night, the nine-tailed fox said that Xiaoyao could be eaten in two full-moon nights. He got drunk singing sad songs and the cage was not completely locked. Xiaoyao had been studying how to escape for thirty years. , already able to open the lock, Xiaoyao ran out of the cage, secretly drugged his wine, then slipped back into the cage and locked herself. Jiuweihu didn't notice anything strange. The next day, Xiaoyao was afraid that he wouldn't drink, so he deliberately mentioned Uncle Jiu (Jiuweihu's best friend) in front of him. He beat Xiaoyao and started drinking again. That was Xiaoyao's first move. He collected materials bit by bit from the various weird things he fed himself, and it took him more than ten years to prepare the poison. He fell to the ground and transformed back into his original fox form. Xiaoyao got out of the cage. The nine-tailed fox opened its eyes and looked at Xiaoyao. Xiaoyao picked up the knife and started to chop off its tail one by one. After chopping each tail, she showed it to him. There was blood around his fox's mouth, but there was relief in his eyes that he was finally free, and he closed his eyes. Xiaoyao lit a fire and burned the entire cave.

For thirty years, he kept Xiaoyao in a cage, humiliated and tortured Xiaoyao, and also dispersed all the spiritual power that Xiaoyao had worked hard to cultivate in Yushan, leaving her almost a useless person, but the nine-tailed fox also taught her many things. There were only two of them in that mountain. When the nine-tailed fox was not going crazy, he taught Xiaoyao about the art of transformation. He understood Xiaoyao's fear and gave her a rare treasure, a mirror cast with the spirit of the oxen. Remember past events. He asked Xiaoyao to use a mirror to record her appearance, so that even if there was a deviation the next day, she could look at the mirror and change it back. Slowly, she learned to fix her appearance. When he occasionally takes Xiaoyao out, he will teach her how to identify plants, tell her about the various monsters he has killed, and tell her the weaknesses of various monsters. In the end, Xiaoyao killed him. His eight tails were cut off by Xiaoyao one by one, and the grudge between Xiaoyao and the nine-tailed fox was wiped out. Xiaoyao didn't hate him and even kept his tail. >

We can easily find that the snake demon corresponds to Xiang Liu , but the nine-tailed fox corresponds to Tushan Jing. In fact, there is a hidden assistant behind Tushan Jing, which is Zhuan Xu, so the nine-tailed fox is actually a metaphor. Tu Shanjing and Zhuan Xu

This story is the structural clue that runs through the entire book, hinting at Xiaoyao's growth line.

Its metaphor is actually very obvious, and most readers can understand it. However, many readers will find this metaphor very dark, so they do not study it in detail. Some people may think that I am over-interpreting it, but it is actually not dark. Just as Xiang Liu doesn't treat Xiao Yao like a snake demon and really wants to kill her, Tu Shanjing and Zhuan Xu don't treat Xiao Yao like a nine-tailed fox locking Xiao Yao in a cage. Waiting to be eaten. If "eat Xiaoyao" is replaced by "be with Xiaoyao", "kill Xiaoyao" is replaced by "love Xiaoyao", and "the snake demon and the nine-tailed fox do physical harm to Xiaoyao" are replaced by "love Xiaoyao" "Liu, Tu Shanjing and Zhuan Xu hurt Xiaoyao's soul", does everything make sense?

Emperor Jun once said, "The harm in this world is not only in the name of evil, but also a lot of harm in the name of love." This is what Tonghua wants to tell readers through the words of Emperor Jun.

Almost every sentence in this story has a counterpart in the plot of the entire book, so I’ll focus on a few here.

▼ Xiaoyao’s “strange disease”

▼ "The Queen Mother's strict supervision" and "Xiao Yao's good cultivation" actually correspond to the fact that Xiao Yao has been living in the wilderness for hundreds of years and has suffered all kinds of hardships. Under the severe test of fate, Xiao Yao gradually To become a strong person, all the hardships turned into her own strength, such as her cunning and shrewdness, her insight into human nature, and her transparency into many things... These are all she relies on. With the "cultivation" of survival , ordinary dilemma ( "ferocious birds and beasts"

▼ The "snake demon" is a metaphor for Xiang Liu. Although Xiang Liu bullies her in various ways, he is the only one who understands Xiao Yao and can truly understand and empathize with Xiao Yao's tragic experience. Only he remembers every word of Xiao Yao's words. Not only did I remember the words, but I also understood them with my heart and responded to everything. Therefore, Xiaoyao knew that Xiang Liu was in opposition to her ( "Danger"

▼ "Snake egg" is a metaphor for Xiang Liu's natal essence and blood. Thirty-seven years under the sea, Xiang Liu gave his natal essence and blood to Xiaoyao, "forging a life-and-death enmity."

▼

<Shiqi thought for a while and said slowly: "Since I was a child, I have always been the pride of heaven. There is a woman who has practiced dancing for ten years just to let me take a look at her. There is a famous man who traveled thousands of miles to Qingqiu to live there. Seven years, just to play a game of chess with me. Some people spent thousands of dollars to ask me for a painting, and some people called me a master. I once thought that was me. After that person detained me, he tortured me for two years. He insulted me every day and said that I was nothing. I didn’t bother to refute and kept enduring his torture in silence. He was so angry that he said he could prove it to me. He took me to places where I had been, and every time One day, he left me in a busy city with ragged clothes, unable to move my legs, unable to speak, and full of stench. People came and went, but as he said, no one wanted to look at me. Many times, I saw familiar people He crawled over and tried to get close to them, but they either threw some money to me and immediately ran away in disgust, or asked his servants to beat me away. He laughed and asked: "Did you see it? This is you!" Over the years, he took me to many places, and no one wanted to get close to me. I truly understood that, stripped of those gorgeous coats, I was nothing. He knew that I had been completely destroyed, and threw me into the river. He didn't kill me because he knew I was dead. ...But God made you appear">

Since then, Tu Shanjing has always felt that without those gorgeous coats, he was nothing. He had no dignity and no self-worth.

▼ "Xiao Yao is the best elixir" actually means that only with Xiao Yao can Tu Shanjing regain his dignity as a man and have a sense of worth. Only with Xiao Yao can he survive.

<"I know how horrible and ugly my body is, but you treat it like a treasure and take care of it delicately. After three years of torture and humiliation, I can't face my body, and I don't even dare to step out of the house. But. When I took a shower that day, your face turned red when you saw my body. At that moment, I felt truly alive. In your eyes, I am still a...man who can make you blush shyly.”>

This is the reason why Tu Shanjing must be with Xiao Yao. As long as he lives, he cannot live without Xiao Yao.

▼ "Use her spiritual blood to restore his lost skills." Family members, please recall what Xiang Liu used to revive Tu Shanjing? It's Xiaoyao's spiritual blood. Drain the blood from Xiaoyao's body. The nine-tailed fox once spent thirty years raising the spiritual blood and died without eating it. In the end, it was used by Tu Shanjing, the nine-tailed fox. (But I think the one who returned from the resurrection can no longer be regarded as Tu Shanjing, but Ye Shiqi, the person Xiang Liu gave Xiaoyao to depend on.)

▼ "Xiaoyao was very wary at first, but after a long time, Xiaoyao deliberately tested him several times, but he didn't reveal any intentions, so Xiaoyao talked to him a little more." Correspondence: When in Qingshui Town Xiaoyao tested Tu Shanjing many times, such as testing whether Tu Shanjing was willing to give up everything and take her to escape, such as testing whether Tu Shanjing was willing to risk offending Emperor Jun and let her escape alone. After Shan Jing really didn't have any intention and just treated her well, he couldn't happily cut off his attachment. In fact, did Tu Shanjing really have no intention? This was his intention to let Xiaoyao be with him to heal the wounds in his heart. (Speaking of this, I have to praise Tan Jianci, the actor who plays Xiang Liu in the drama version, for his understanding. He said in the interview, "My cousin and Tu Shanjing each have a selfish intention. Only Xiang Liu has no selfish intentions. Xiang Liu seems to be He has used a lot of tricks, but he is actually the most selfless to Xiaoyao." He is right. Xiang Liucai really has no intentions for Xiaoyao, does not ask to be with Xiaoyao, and does not even ask Xiaoyao to love him. , he just wants Xiaoyao to live well and fulfill Xiaoyao’s wish.)

▼ "He caught Xiaoyao and wanted to take Xiaoyao away." Both Tushanjing and Zhuanxu were involved here. Zhuanxu was the one who wanted to catch Xiaoyao, and Tushanjing was the one who took Xiaoyao to the south.

"He took Xiaoyao to a place farther south. The mountains there were high and dangerous. In a secret cave, there was his lair. He built a cage and locked Xiaoyao up." Correspondence: " More Isn't the place in the south the Five Gods Mountains of Gaoxin Kingdom located in the south of the wilderness? The "secret cave" is the "Dragon Bone Prison", and this "cage" was built for Xiaoyao by Zhuanxu and Tushanjing. Because of Zhuanxu, Xiaoyao, who yearned for freedom, had to be trapped by Wang Ji's identity. To help him fight for the throne, it was precisely because of Tu Shanjing's fifteen-year agreement and Tu Shanjing's constant surveillance and restraint of Xiao Yao that Xiao Yao's spirit was imprisoned.

"He put Xiaoyao in a cage, insulted and tortured Xiaoyao, and also dispersed all the spiritual power that Xiaoyao had worked hard to cultivate in Yushan, leaving her almost useless." Correspondence: "The torture of Xiaoyao by the nine-tailed fox " Correspondence What is more important is the mental torture Tu Shanjing inflicted on Xiaoyao. Tushanjing broke off the engagement and was unable to do so, which made Xiaoyao hopeful and disappointed again and again. Xiaoyao's later state was close to depression. "Dissipate all the spiritual power that Xiaoyao cultivated hard in Yushan and make her almost useless." Xiaoyao gradually lost her consciousness in the gentle cage of Tu Shanjing and Zhuanxu in the name of love, and lost her former role as Wen. The "cultivation" that Xiaoliu relied on for survival became no longer strong, and became more and more depraved and confused. He no longer had a free body and no consciousness of fighting for freedom.

<Zhuan Xu's expression was very bitter, "Xiao Yao, I regret it very much now. If I hadn't wanted to rely on Tu Shanjing's power so much, maybe I wouldn't have what I have today."

Xiaoyao walked up to him: "Have you forgotten? I saved him before you showed up."

"You didn't have feelings for him at that time. I not only gave him a chance, but also created opportunities for him to get closer to you step by step."

It is indeed because of Zhuan Xu that she and Jing have come to this day many times - if Zhuan Xu had not wanted to arrest her, she would not have asked Jing for help. Maybe one day she would change her appearance and disappear without a trace; if Zhuan Xu had not imprisoned them In the Dragon Bone Dungeon, Jing would not have had the opportunity to propose a fifteen-year agreement; if it weren't for Zhuan Xu needing Jing, she would not have decided to give up and go back to find Jing...>

As mentioned in the original text of this paragraph, Zhuan Xu and Tu Shanjing teamed up to lock Xiao Yao in a "cage". One trapped Xiao Yao's body, and the other trapped Xiao Yao's spirit.

▼ "Forcing her to eat a lot of disgusting things" corresponds to: Zhuan Xu's road to becoming emperor required the help of Tu Shanjing, Fenglong and many aristocratic families, so Xiaoyao had to deal with these people, although Zhuan Xu did not directly "force "She, Xiaoyao seems to be willing, but does Xiaoyao really like her? Does Xiaoyao really like to take advantage of others? Do you really like to socialize with those aristocratic families? It can even be said that Xiaoyao did a lot of things after she was restored to the throne, all for Zhuanxu. Xiaoyao's nature longed for freedom and unrestraint. Like Xiang Liu, she liked the "moon" and did not want "sixpence".

▼ "The nine-tailed fox also taught her a lot of things...she learned to fix her appearance." Correspondence: Tu Shanjing also helped Xiaoyao a lot, gave Xiaoyao a lot of warmth, and was cured to a certain extent. Although Xiaoyao's "strange disease" has not been cured - the nine-tailed fox did not restore Xiaoyao's true appearance, and Tushan Jing did not allow Xiaoyao to find her "real self".

▼ "At first, Xiaoyao always wanted to anger him... Later, she remained silent and uncooperative... She died several times without success... Later, Xiaoyao seemed to accept her fate. , enjoy the hardship..." This reflects the whole process of Xiaoyao's attitude towards Jing. "Later, Xiaoyao made poison and wanted to wait for him to eat her, then eat it and poison him to death." This corresponds to Xiaoyao poisoning Zhuanxu. This place is the same as "eating Xiaoyao" and "playing Xiaoyao". You can't interpret it based on the literal meaning. If you interpret it that way, the meaning will definitely be wrong.

In the beginning, Xiaoyao always wanted to make Tu Shanjing jealous and antagonize Tu Shanjing, but the more Jing tolerated her, the less she could get out of Jing's "cage" . Later, Xiaoyao couldn't bear to confront Tushan Jing, but she couldn't express her feelings. What did "uncooperative" mean? It meant that she was not so cooperative with Jing's purpose of "eating" her (see Xiaoyao's quote The marriage was postponed for forty-two years on the grounds of revising medical books). She died several times without success. Just like Xiaoyao believed that she could be freed by dying in the cage of the nine-tailed fox. When Xinyue killed Xiaoyao for the first time and Xiaoyao later committed suicide, she also felt that this was the only way to be freed, "Only What does this mean? Because only in this way will Xiang Liu appear! What kind of relief does Xiaoyao seek? Either she died or Xiang Liu took her away, but neither death nor Xiang Liu took her away, so it was "unsuccessful"

"Xiao Yao herself took the poison and poisoned the nine-tailed fox to death ." This "poison to death" is not really "poison to death." Xiao Yao ostensibly poisoned Zhuan Xu, but it was herself who was poisoned to death. However, she poisoned Zhuan Xu to death. Was she really the one who died? What she poisoned was Zhuanxu's attempt to "eat" her.

▼ "The nine-tailed fox said that Xiaoyao can be eaten on the night of the full moon in two days." Correspondence: Jing and Xiaoyao's wedding date is the night of the full moon. Tu Shanjing died exactly twenty-two days before the wedding. Tu Shanhou had his tail cut off one by one, which happened to correspond to Xiao Yao's tail cut off of the nine-tailed fox.

How did the nine-tailed fox die? Because he thought about his best friend, he beat Xiaoyao and drank to death. How did Tu Shanjing die? For the sake of her close relatives, she broke Xiaoyao's heart again, and then she died stupidly. The nine-tailed fox torments Xiaoyao every time he goes crazy, and teaches Xiaoyao a lot of things when he is not crazy. This corresponds exactly to Tushan Jing, who hurts Xiaoyao every time he is stupid, and comforts Xiaoyao a lot when he is not stupid. .

It was on a full moon night that Xiao Yao poisoned Zhuan Xu. "Xiao Yao collected materials bit by bit from all kinds of weird things he fed to himself, and it took him more than ten years to prepare the poison." This is The sentence corresponds to the following original text:

<Huang Di was always wary of Xiaoyao's use of poison and took away all the medicinal materials in the medicine valley, but Xiaoyao was always a person who kept his lessons in mind and would never make the same mistake. Ever since the last time she fell from the wild goose and found no medicine available in a critical moment, Xiaoyao had carefully studied how to hide the medicine so as not to lose it. Earrings, bracelets, hair, and even a piece of clothing can be soaked in potion and processed. When needed, tear off the cloth and add water to make medicine... I spent so much time doing these things in the past, but I didn't want Zhuan Xu and Huang Di to let them go. No matter how much I worried about her, I never thought that one day, it would be used against them. >

▼ "The nine-tailed fox killed the snake demon" corresponds to the fact that after Zhuanxu ascended the throne of God, he killed Xiang Liu in order to exterminate the Shennong rebels. Zhuanxu ascended the throne of God with the help of Tu Shanjing.

▼In the end, just as Xiaoyao escaped from the cage of the nine-tailed fox, Xiaoyao also escaped from the "cage" of Zhuanxu and Tushanjing. When Xiaoyao discovered Zhuanxu's back thorn, she would rather stay in Yushan and become the Queen Mother than stay there. By Zhuan Xu's side, she took the initiative to walk out of the "cage" and break free from Zhuan Xu's captivity in the name of love. Tu Shan Jing, a nine-tailed fox, also died in Tu Shan Hou's hands, and went into seclusion with Xiao Yao. The person is Ye Shiqi who does not have the Nine Tails and does not have the identity of the Tushan clan.

▼ Let’s analyze the difference between “eating” and “killing”. Earlier I said that “eating Xiaoyao” is a metaphor for “being with Xiaoyao” and “killing Xiaoyao” is a metaphor for “loving Xiaoyao”.

The snake demon wanted to "eat" Xiaoyao at first, but later only wanted to "kill" Xiaoyao. Correspondingly: Xiang Liu wanted to be with Xiaoyao at first, but later only wanted to love Xiaoyao.

The nine-tailed fox did not kill Xiaoyao at the beginning, but wanted to wait until Xiaoyao was fat before eating him. Correspondingly: Zhuanxu and Tushanjing's purpose was not to love Xiaoyao, but to be with Xiaoyao.

Who ate Xiaoyao's spiritual blood in the end? It was eaten by Tu Shanjing, so Ye Shiqi and Xiao Yao were together after being resurrected by Tu Shanjing.

If we think more divergently, didn’t Xiang Liu “eat” Xiao Yao? They have been "eating" since Qingshui Town, and the last time they "eated" was when the two of them "broke up" in Hulu Lake. So, did Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao really never get together...? And when did Tu Shanjing really get together with Xiaoyao ("eat Xiaoyao")?

...

Everything can be traced back to the story Xiaoyao told about her and the snake demon and the nine-tailed fox. This is called "the gray thread of the grass snake, the veins run thousands of miles".

"ENTRUSTING THE HEART TO LEAVE OR STAY

The highlighted text is the title Tong Hua used for Vol 3 Ch18  (Chapter 51) which reinforces Xiao Yao's decision to finally go home, to the ocean, finally finding the courage to take control over her own life, break free from the mistakes and fetters of the past, and return to the home that Xiang Liu provided for her:

归去来兮 Let me go back home!
田园将芜 My fields will get desolate,

奚惘怅而独悲 Why should I be so full of melancholy?

From here on, she can finally follow her own heart and express her love for Xiang Liu loudly.

"She didn’t understand her mother’s gaze at the time, but now she understands that it is love.
She sat up in shock and found a bottle of green plum wine among the bottles filled with poisons. Even though her heart was filled with him, she had to use that little bit of reason to control her heart and return to her dream. Zhen Huan "Although the wind in my heart is always blowing towards you, I must go against the wind."

"Xiaoyao's maid when she was in Wushen Mountain, two people's names were mentioned, one was called Hualou, the other was named Zibei.
In the end, the servant named Nursery is with Zuo Er. The nursery represents the medicinal materials grown by Xiaoyao, which means Xiaoyao, and Zuo Er represents Xiangliu."

"But now I clearly have a family (brother), and there are people waiting for me (tsj), but I just want to wander around like this all my life (Liu)"

"Xiaoyao took the initiative to kiss the fox several times : I just don’t dare to kiss Xiangliu, for fear that I will fall in love with him, and then I will kiss the fox and let myself fall in love with the fox.

She used the fox to dilute her feelings for Xiang Liu. She felt it was wrong and deliberately suppressed it."
