Chapter 4332 Chapter 4334 [Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai]
"What I want is her opposition." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan smiled and said, "The more determined her opposition is, the stronger and stronger the relationship between Zi Ling and Miss Shi will be."
"Why are you so sure?" Hanhan asked in surprise.
"Let me tell you a story, it's called "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"." Xiang Nan smiled slightly and told the story of "Liang Shanbo" tactfully.
Although the background of the story of "Butterfly Lovers" took place in the Jin Dynasty, the story took shape during the Tang Dynasty. It went through hundreds of years of polishing during the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, and finally became the version we all know today. Therefore, the story of "Butterfly Lovers" has not yet appeared at this stage. Naturally, Xiang Nan didn't have to worry about crashing.
This was the first time that Huanwan heard this story, and she couldn't help but be fascinated.
Especially when I heard the ending of Zhu Yingtai crying in the grave, Liang Shanbo's tomb cracking open, Zhu Yingtai throwing herself into the tomb, and finally both turning into butterflies, I couldn't help but get wet in my eyes.
"Is this story true or false? Did they really turn into butterflies?" Hanhan finally asked, wiping away tears.
"Isn't it enough to just listen to a good story? You still have to worry about whether it's true or not?" Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "What I mean by telling this story is that when a man and a woman fall in love, if someone tries to break them up, not only will they fail, but they will often fail. It can also make their relationship closer.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon. For example, if I ask you to protect a box and I tell you to open it, I will kill you. Do you think you can resist opening it?
Everyone wants to be independent rather than being someone else's puppet. Therefore, once someone overtakes you and makes choices for you, you will feel that your autonomy is threatened, and you will subconsciously resist.
Rejecting the things you are forced to choose, while preferring the things you are forced to lose, is called 'reverse psychology', also known as the 'Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai effect'. "
…
Xiang Nan has studied psychology and knows the "Romeo and Juliet effect", which is the same as the Butterfly Lovers effect. The greater the external resistance, the more intense the love between men and women.
Therefore, he is not afraid that Fan Qinghui will oppose Xu Ziling's relationship with Shi Feixuan. The more she opposes, the more intense their love will be. This has been true since ancient times.
"Master Zhong, you are really scary. You understand people's hearts better than we do." Huanwan said in shock.
They have a deep understanding of human nature and are willing to take advantage of the dark side of human nature and manipulate people into their hands.
Huanwan is conceited and is a master in this way, so she always likes to confuse people's minds, and has successively plotted against Ren Shaoming, Xiang Nan, Xu Ziling and others.
But she didn't expect that Xiang Nan not only had insight into people's hearts, but was also more comprehensive, more systematic, and more professional. The truths she said were unheard of and unseen, yet they were reasonable and to the point.
This shows that Xiang Nan's control over people's hearts is even better than that of the Demon Sect. No wonder he dares to say that he can enter the Demon Sect unless he is a demon god. He really has a trick.
"Don't praise me. People's hearts are unpredictable, and I only know a little bit about it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "By the way, how do you get along with your master and Shi Zhixuan?"
"It's almost as you said, Shi Zhixuan doesn't like my master at all, and is clamoring to return to Linqiong to worship Bi Xiuxin." Huanwen replied, "Master naturally refused, so the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel.
Shi Zhixuan seeks death and rebirth at every turn, threatening the master, causing the master to drink to drown his sorrows every day. It's so disgusting, he doesn't even think about how much effort his master has put into him in the past twenty years, but he only has Bi Xiuxin in his heart. "
"I have warned you before. Not only will rescuing him not satisfy you, but it will also make you suffer more." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "You didn't believe it at the time, but now you know my painstaking efforts."
"Can you help her?" Huanwan sighed, "I really don't want anything to happen to Master."
"Are you really that kind-hearted?" Hanwan asked doubtfully.
"They are all infatuated men and women wandering in the world of mortals. Please help if you can." Xiang Nan said with a slight smile. Although he and the Demon Sect were about to go to war because of the Evil Emperor's relics, he did not hate Zhu Yuyan and Huanwan. These two women were unable to love each other and wasted half their lives. They are both pitiful people.
"Thank you." Huanwan nodded and walked out.
…
After Huanwan left, Xiang Nan decided to leave the Duke's Mansion.
On the one hand, he was not used to taking refuge in others. It is said that money and debts are easy to repay, but favors are hard to repay. If he doesn't want to work for the Li clan, how can he have the dignity to stay in the Duke's mansion?
On the one hand, he and the Demon Sect have now started a war. The Demon Sect knows that they are not his opponent and will not attack him personally. But it is very possible to force him by hurting the Li family.
As the saying goes, there is a principle of being a thief for a thousand days, but there is no principle of guarding against a thief for a thousand days. Even if he defends himself day and night, he will probably be unable to prevent him. So it is better to leave the Li family.
It just so happened that he also wanted to go to Lingnan to meet Song Que. By then, his marriage to Song Yuzhi would be officially decided.
Therefore, Xiang Nan asked Li Xiuning to leave the Duke's Mansion and go find Xu Ziling.
"Miss Xiuning, is there no news about Ziling yet?" he asked Li Xiuning.
"Not yet." Li Xiuning waved her hand.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Sometimes, there is no news, but it is also good news. Anyway, thank you."
"You're welcome." Li Xiuning smiled.
"Speaking of which, my injury is almost healed. I think it's time to leave the Duke's Mansion and find Zi Ling's whereabouts." Xiang Nan said again.
"There is a huge crowd, where are you going to find it?" Li Xiuning asked immediately after hearing this.
"Yeah, you don't know where he is now, wouldn't it be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find him?" Song Yuzhi also asked.
"Don't worry, Zi Ling and I have both practiced the "Secret of Immortality", and we will be able to sense it secretly." Xiang Nan explained.
Seeing what he said, Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi just nodded.
"Then I'll go with you. You haven't finished telling "Journey to the West" yet." Song Yuzhi smiled again.
"No, it's too dangerous." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Those people will definitely hunt me down. It's too dangerous for you to follow me."
"Miss Xiuning, I have been helped so much by you these days. I really have nothing to repay, so I will give you two of my inventions.
One is the curved shaft plow, which is lighter and smaller, is easy to turn around, and can save manpower and animal power; the other is called woodblock printing, in which words are engraved on the woodblock in reverse in advance, and then printed with ink. In this way, it would be much more convenient to print books, and there would be no need to hire people to copy them. "Then he said to Li Xiuning.
Both the plow and woodblock printing were invented in the Tang Dynasty, and these two inventions promoted the development of agriculture and the popularization of culture, both of which benefited the country and the people.
Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi were surprised to see Xiang Nan's two inventions, and praised Xiang Nan as a genius. He could imagine such an invention, and it was indeed amazing.
