Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

 H19279:

So, FFB flirted and wanted to grab intimate manner with XY while Jing wanted to be dominated by XY

Very true. I don't remember Fangfeng Bei ever offering to be hit by Xiao Yao. If anything, he is very good at disarming her. Her conviction that he and Xiang Liu are two different people could not be any more wrong, though I certainly can see why she came to that conclusion.

Incidentally Fangfeng Bei spoke to Left Ear using the special language only known to the slaves of the death match arena. It was not just a code word.

One more thing... about the sea blue spider web... he really wants to replace XL, but in a manipulative way, like the fairy tale of a butterfly trapped in a spider web... scary!

長相思2:小天默默看著漫天煙火,想必青丘此刻也是如此美麗,璟大概攙扶著奶奶,和眾人一起看著繽紛絢爛的煙花;而清水鎮外的茫茫大山中,應該是黑暗的,蕭瑟寒風中,士兵們圍著篝火,就著劣酒,唱一曲故國的歌謠。相柳大概一身雪白的衣,陪著共工,默默地穿行在黑暗中,從一個營地巡邏到另一個營地。

Apart from the words above, Tonghua also added this image to her post

note: When the second book was released, it only printed XL and xy pictures. Then Tonghua also posted it on Weibo. I think this is one of Tonghua's clues.
Those who don't want to admit it say the reason Tonghua posts/only prints XL and xy pictures is just because XL is Tonghua's favorite character..but I don't think that's the reason.

#長相思#我不知道……………我也希望他活著,能多年後,江湖再見。

@26度-晴:向@桐華tonghua 提問: #長相思#雖然這裡談的是長相思,可是我還是忍不住要問,孟鈀是真的死了嗎?雲中歌看了好多遍,真的好希望陵哥哥是假死或孟鈀只是掉進了河裡,這樣的話雲歌就不是一個人了進入本場微訪談

Note : Meng Jue and Xiang Liu died from thousands of arrows piercing their hearts, and neither of them had any bones. The news of their death was told by a third person.
Tonghua Weibo said that Meng Jue didn’t know whether he was dead or alive. Well...
there is always hope.

@liddi,I really wish this were true too.

山海经中的相柳活到了禹的时代，晚于颛顼好几代。

I highly doubt Tonghua will ever revisits this universe, I belive she is quite content with how the public reacted to the story and all the controversy that followed, but oh well.  There are many things left unspoken and that's why it's hard to get some closure out of it, but it is what it is and unless Tong hua comes out and explain these things herself we will probably never know her real intentions, but as I said, I highly doubt this will ever happen. 

For her to say lyf has a happy ending is like saying CX never wished for XY to stay by his side forever, XY never loved XL nor XL ever loved her, AhNian was content to keep carrying on as XY's substitute in CX's life and Jing was happy to end up as XY's companion.  IMO none of these characters got to live their love, I know Tonghua said that love îs not everything that matters în life, but at the end of the day LYF is still a romance story and for many of its readers love does matter the most, so to quote XY -  what bullshit best ending, did they really do themselves right?  I personally really wish they would have fought more for love too. 

Oh yes, I know Jingers belive XY and Jing got their happy ending, but let's be serious, none of the characters achieved their goals without losing love on the road, should I actually belive Tonghua made an exception for them? She herself labeled Jing as a companion and XL as the soulmate throughout the book, idk în which universe companion weights more than soulmate. 

 AH :

I wonder if a parallel can be drawn with XL here?

True Form / Hated Form / Monster Form

They both tried to reassure / comfort each other when their true forms were revealed.  XY when he had to revert to his 9 headed form to save them underwater.  XL when XY learned about her true father.

 AH :

When XY first encountered FFB and wondered if he was XL, she was disappointed at the thought that she might have seen one of XL's many false faces instead of XL's true face. She wonders if XL might be someone like her, a person who wants to have a true self and a person who isn't interested in false transformations.

Not sure about this, but it reminds me of when XL was trying to get XY to admit to being a woman in the hot spring after she was wounded when she stepped between XL and CX.  And when XY tried to make a joke about it, XL gave up and said he wasn't interested in her fake body.  I always thought that this was an odd thing for a shape shifter to say, and a missed opportunity for XL ... but seen in context of your observation ... it makes more sense.

 Taspia:

For her to say lyf has a happy ending is like saying CX never wished for XY to stay by his side forever, XY never loved XL nor XL ever loved her.

I watched in a reel, where Yang Zi said that, Xiao Yao never LOVE  Xiang Liu.... 

Really...And now  I have to believe it.... 

I just want to clarify  because I'm a bit confused about what you are saying here.

Are you saying that it can't be true for Tong Hua to say that LYF has a happy  ending, because the ending is not a happy one?

As for Yang Zi. She's also a reader of the novel, just because she plays Xiao Yao, that doesn't means that her interpretation is definitive or "correct". 

What's it that you think you have to believe? That Xiao Yao loves Xiang Liu? 

In Sauvignon Blanc, when Xiaoyao and Tushanjing were having fun with each other, why were they not bitten by the poisonous insects?



I think as long as the reading comprehension is on the passing line, no one will have any doubts about the setting of Lover Gu, let alone deny that the person Xiaoyao loves most in her heart is Xiang Liu! "If the yang does not give birth, the yin will not grow." " We live when we are united, we die when we are separated. " These two sentences are so obvious. Why do so many people still not understand them? The answer is clearly given in the original work! ( Tong Hua , who graduated from Peking University, would not have written such a simple Lover's Gu that you can tell is a big bug at a glance. This is the Lover's Gu that runs through the whole text. Without the Lover's Gu, Xiaoyao would have died long ago. Okay? If it is a bug, then a lot of the plot will not be advanced. When Xiaoyao was tortured in Merlin , Sauvignon Blanc can have the finale. There is no need to write it! Tong Hua has the ability to write a lover Gu, it depends on you Isn’t it just a stubborn argument?)



Many people say that Xiaoyao loves Jing. I would like to ask those who say this, have you asked Gu Chong ? Did it agree? If Xiaoyao loves Jing, wouldn't Xiaoyao have a backlash and die? Since there was no backlash and death, it means that the person she loved in her heart was not Jing, but Xiang Liu! The voodoo only cares about your heart, it doesn't care about your body or brain. As long as you don't change your mind, the voodoo won't care about you or anyone else. The voodoo won't care about you if you want to deceive yourself and others. But if you dare It dares to "kill" you if it changes its mind. This is the role of Gu!If Xiaoyao and Xiangliu were close friends, then Xiaoyao could have ended their relationship while Merlin was killing her, so what else could be written? The reason why Xiang Liu was able to save Xiao Yao was because of the Lover's Gu, wasn't it? If they are not lovers, how can they save people through Gu insects? If it weren't for her lover, Xiaoyao would have died long ago, okay? So stop questioning, accept the facts, and don’t deceive yourself!Some people also say that Xiaoyao can't feel Xiangliu and can't drive the Gu, so the Lover Gu is a bug, which makes me even more confused. Xiaoyao is always duplicity whenever she talks about Xiangliu, okay? We don't need to see what she says. What does she do? Below I simply excerpt some original texts to prove that Xiaoyao can not only feel Xiang Liu, but also activate the poison in her body to summon Xiang Liu:

[Xiao Liu suddenly felt something moving and felt someone was calling her. She said to Qi Qi: "Go to the beach."]

[She couldn't see him, but she could feel him there, and that arrow could pierce Xingxuan's throat at any time. 】

[She said to Fangfeng Bei : "Our hearts beat together." She looked up at Fangfeng Bei, waiting for Fangfeng Bei to give her an explanation. 】[Xiao Yao looked up at the blue sky, quietly feeling her heart beating together with another heart. 】

[She could clearly feel that her heartbeat was getting weaker and weaker, but just when everything was about to stop, she heard the beating sound of another heart, strong and powerful, pulling her heart so that it would not completely stop. stop. 】

[Once, when the warmth flowed into her body, Xiaoyao felt the beating of another heart again. Her heart was cheering, as if she had met an old friend. 】

[In the eternal darkness, every time Xiang Liu came to heal her, it became the only time when she felt that she was still alive. At least she could feel the warmth he gave her and the beating of another heart.I don’t know how long it took, but one day, when the warmth slowly flowed into her body, Xiaoyao suddenly felt that she had feelings. She could feel someone holding her.It's strange that she can't hear, see, or even feel her own body, but maybe because of the poison in her body, the two hearts are connected, and she can vaguely feel his movements. 】

[Every twenty or thirty days, Xiang Liu will heal her wounds. During the healing, they should be very close, because Xiao Yao feels that he is hugging her tightly and she can feel him all over her body. But on weekdays, Xiang Liu would not hug her, and at most he would touch her forehead and cheeks. 】

[Xiao Yao didn't look up, but she clearly felt that another heart was gradually approaching her, beating together with hers: "Xiang Liu!" She raised her head and saw Xiang Liu. 】

[Xiao Yao's face was as red as the fire clouds at sunset, and she tried her best to stare at Xiang Liu with her big black and white eyes. Xiang Liu's heart beat a few times, and Xiao Yao just felt it, but immediately felt nothing.]

[Xiao Yao felt as if her heart was being torn apart by a big hand, the pain was so painful that it seemed like it was about to break, but she was still smiling. Suddenly, her heart beat violently, and Xiaoyao could no longer maintain her smile. It was like a person who could bear the pain of a sword without changing his expression, but could not control his face and breathing after strenuous exercise. Xiaoyao couldn't help stroking her heart and took a few deep breaths.Her heart was still beating so hard that all the blood in her body seemed to rush to her head. Xiaoyao couldn't help but murmured: "Xiang Liu, are you finished?"]

[ The shark 's singing is the sound of nature, but not many people in the world can hear it. At this moment, Xiao Yao felt that her and Xiang Liu's hearts were infinitely close, and it seemed that they had nothing to say. Xiaoyao said: "My father is Chichen ."]Is this called not being able to feel Xiang Liu?

[Xiao Yao stirred up the Gu insects and said silently in her heart: Xiang Liu, I want to see you!The moon was bright and clear, the lake was sparkling, but Xiang Liu didn't appear for a long time.Xiaoyao couldn't help shouting: "Xiang Liu, I know you can feel it! Come out and see me!"When Xiaoyao roared until her voice became hoarse, several clear eagle calls were heard, and the white-feathered golden-crowned eagle swooped down from the sky and flew close to the lake. Xiang Liu jumped off his mount and walked towards Xiao Yao on the blue waves. He is a foreigner in the mortal world of Jiuqu. His clothes are as white as snow and his hair is as white as clouds. He is not touched by any smoke and dust. Even though he is stepping on hundreds of thousands of miles of war and the lives of millions of people, he cannot be moved. 】Facts have proved that Xiaoyao can not only feel Xiangliu, but also drive Gu insects. Xiaoyao said before that he couldn't feel Xiangliu, just to deceive the fox and himself!There are also many people who say that Xiang Liu can control the poisonous Gu insects. I don’t know what their logical basis is for saying this? Could it be that just because Xiaoyao couldn't feel Xiang Liu's pain, he said Lover Gu was a bug? The reason why the author arranged it this way is to show that Xiang Liu's love for Xiao Yao is so deep that he would rather bear double the pain of the Gu worm than let Xiao Yao suffer at all! I don’t want Xiaoyao to know my pain and feelings! (It’s been 10 years since this book came out. If Lover’s Gu is a bug, then why doesn’t Tonghua correct this bug? Still allowing this bug to flow into the market? Isn’t that adding to the trouble for himself? If Tonghua doesn’t correct it, it proves that Lover’s Gu is Not a bug!)Lover's Gu is a pair of male and female Gu, with equal strength and equal status. There is no argument about who controls the other. Both parties control their own Gu. Xiang Liu, who has high spiritual power, can suppress the Gu in his body even if he is seriously injured. reaction without letting the other party feel it. What he suppressed was his own Gu, not Xiaoyao's Gu. Xiaoyao's spiritual power is low, and she cannot suppress the reaction of the Gu worms in her body, so once she is injured, Xiang Liu can immediately feel her pain and go to save her. It is precisely because Xiao Yao's spiritual power is low, so Xiang Liu Liu Cai was willing to plant a poison to protect her. (Alas, Xiang Liu’s love is silent, but deep and great!)

[The lover's voodoo is like a lover in love. It has a changeable temper and is very difficult to control. The voodoo is easy to bite back. Once it attacks, both of them will die. Therefore, the lover's vood is also called heartbroken voodoo. "]Here the Witch King said that the Lover Gu is a pair of lovers with bad tempers and easy to backlash. Once they backfire, both of them will die.Assuming that Xiang Liu can control the poisonous insects, can Xiang Liu control life and death? Obviously not. Since we can't control life and death, how can we control the poisonous insects? The poisonous insects are about to bite back, do we still need to control them? The backlash is death! Xiang Liu can only suppress the reaction of the Gu worms in his own body, but cannot suppress the backlash of the Gu worms!

After the robbery in Qingshui Town, this was the only time that Xiang Liu didn't suppress the poison in his body. Xiao Yao's face turned pale in pain, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. This was the only time that Xiao Yao felt Xiang Liu's heartache. Why was Xiang Liu heartbroken? Because I can't love, I can't talk, I can only control the poison in my body, but the poison can't control so much. If you don't let me love, the poison will make you feel heartbroken and uncomfortable. I don't let you control the poison. Love, since you want to rebel, it will make your heartache. Do you understand this logic? Xiang Liu's heartache just shows that he loves Xiaoyao, but he can't let the Gu in Xiaoyao's body feel his love, so he can only control the resisting Gu in his own body. It's the Gu that is resisting. The two Gu insects are obviously in love, but you want human intervention. If you don't feel heartache, who do you feel heartache for?In addition, Xiang Liu has a body of nine heads, and he also has strong spiritual power. His pain can be distributed to the other eight heads to share or suppressed with spiritual power. This is explained in the original work, because Xiang Liu can use spiritual power or The nine-headed body shared Xiang Liu's pain equally, so the feedback to Xiao Yao can naturally be ignored. However, this does not mean that Xiang Liu can control the backlash Gu insects. As I said before, Xiang Liu cannot control life and death, so the backlash Xiang Liu can't control the poisonous insects, he can only control the reaction of the poisonous insects in his body!

[In the TV drama version, the Gu worm that the Foreign Minister Liu had in Dragon Bone Prison at that time was not a backlash at all, but that Xiang Liu wanted to take back the heart he had given away, but the Gu worm was resisting and found that he could not take it back at all, so Xiang Liu felt so uncomfortable! "You have nine lives, but only one heart. Once you give it away, you can never take it back." (Corresponding to this sentence) This is the line in the drama version! The original work does not have this line, nor does it have the scene where Xiang Liu saw Yao Jing being together and caused the Gu insect to react. These two places were added in the drama version. They were all changed by the drama version in order to promote the official matchmaker. In the original work, There is no description of Xiaoyao or Xiang Liu being bitten by Gu insects at all]Okay, after analyzing so much, the conclusion is that the lover's poison has never backfired, Xiaoyao has never changed her heart, and has never fallen in love with Tushan Jing (I am referring to the love between men and women). If Xiaoyao changes her heart and falls in love with Tushan Jing, So both of them had to burp, and Xiaoyao had already burped, so how could she be with Tu Shanjing? It means that she has not changed her mind. Let me reiterate again, Gu only cares about your heart, not your body or brain!
