Chapter 4332 [Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai]

"What I want is for her to oppose." Xiang Nan smiled when he heard this, "The more resolute her opposition is, the more intense and solid the relationship between Zi Ling and Shi Xiao Niang will be."

"Why are you so sure?" asked Kanan in surprise.

"Let me tell you a story called "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai." Xiang Nan smiled slightly and told the story of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" in a gentle manner.

Although the story of "Butterfly Lovers" takes place in the Jin Dynasty, the story was formed in the Tang Dynasty. After hundreds of years of polishing in the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it finally became the version known to everyone today. Therefore, the story of "Butterfly Lovers" has not appeared at this stage, so Xiang Nan naturally does not have to worry about a collision.

This was the first time that Xuanxuan heard this story, and she couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

Especially when I heard the ending where Zhu Yingtai cried at the grave, Liang Shanbo's grave cracked, Zhu Yingtai threw herself into the grave, and finally they both turned into butterflies, I couldn't help but wet my eyes.

"Is this story true or false? Did they really turn into butterflies?" Kanan asked finally, wiping away tears.

"It's enough to just listen to a good story, why do you have to care about whether it's true or not?" Xiang Nan pouted and said, "The meaning of this story is that when a man and a woman are in love, if someone tries to break them up, not only will they fail, but it will often make their relationship closer.

  This phenomenon happens everywhere. For example, if I ask you to protect a box and I say I will kill you if you open it, do you think you can resist opening it?

People want to be independent and don't want to be puppets of others. So once someone takes over their responsibilities and makes choices for them, they will feel that their autonomy is threatened and subconsciously resist.

Rejecting the things you are forced to choose and liking 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 about the "Romeo and Juliet effect". Like the Liang Zhu effect, the greater the external resistance, the more passionate the love between men and women.

Therefore, he was not afraid that Fan Qinghui would oppose the relationship between Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan. The stronger her opposition, the more passionate their love would become. This has been the case since ancient times.

"Master Zhong, you are so scary. You understand people's hearts better than we do." Kanan said in amazement.

They, the demon sect, think they have a deep understanding of human nature and are happy to take advantage of the dark side of human nature and manipulate people in the palm of their hands.

Kankan is conceited that she is also an expert in this field, so she always likes to deceive people and has schemed 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 also had a more comprehensive, systematic and professional understanding. The truths he said were all things she had never heard of or seen before, but they were also reasonable and well-coordinated.

This shows that Xiang Nan's control over people's hearts is even better than that of the Demon Sect. No wonder he dared to say that to enter the Demon Sect, one must become a demon god. He really has a way.

"Don't praise me. People's minds are hard to predict, and I only know a little bit." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "By the way, how does your master get along with Shi Zhixuan?"

"It's almost the same as what you said. Shi Zhixuan doesn't like my master at all and insisted on going back to Linqiong to pay tribute to Bi Xiuxin." Wan Wan replied, "Master naturally refused, so the two of them had a very unhappy argument.

Shi Zhixuan always threatens his master with death, causing him to drink every day to drown his sorrows. It's really abominable. He doesn't even think about how much effort his master has put in for him over the past twenty years. He only has Bi Xiuxin in his heart."

"I warned you long ago that rescuing him would not only not bring you satisfaction, but would only make you suffer more." Xiang Nan pouted and said, "You didn't believe me at the time, but now you understand my painstaking efforts."

"Can you help her?" Qianqian sighed and said, "I really don't want Master to get into trouble."

"Sure, she can choose either the Lethe Water or the Forgetfulness Spell." Xiang Nan explained, "I can help her for free and let her give up her love forever."

"Are you really that kind?" asked Kanan doubtfully.

"They are all infatuated men and women wandering in the world, so I'll help them if I can." Xiang Nan said with a slight smile. Although he was about to go to war with the Demon Sect because of the evil emperor's relic, he did not hate Zhu Yuyan and Wan Wan. These two women were unable to get the love they wanted, and wasted half their lives. They were all pitiful people.

"Thank you." Kanan nodded and walked out.

……

After Xianxian left, Xiang Nan decided to leave the Duke's Mansion.

On the one hand, he was not used to relying on others for support. As the saying goes, debts of money are easy to repay, but favors are hard to repay. He did not want to work for the Li family, so how could he have the face to stay in the Duke's Mansion?

On the one hand, he and the Demon Sect have already started a war. The Demon Sect knows that they are no match for him and will not attack him personally. However, it is very possible that they will force him by hurting the Li family.

As the saying goes, there is a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who guards against him for a thousand days. Even if he guards against him day and night, he may not be able to prevent him. Therefore, it is better for him to leave the Li family.

It just so happened that he also wanted to go to Lingnan to meet Song Que, and then officially finalize his marriage with Song Yuzhi.

So the next day, Xiang Nan proposed to Li Xiuning that they wanted to leave the Duke's Mansion and go look for Xu Ziling.

"Miss Xiuning, is there still no news about Ziling?" he asked Li Xiuning.

"Not yet." Li Xiuning waved her hand.

Xiang Nan nodded. "Sometimes, no news is also good news. Anyway, thank you."

"You're welcome." Li Xiuning said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, my injuries are almost healed. I think it's time to leave the Duke's Mansion and look for Ziling's whereabouts." Xiang Nan said again.

"There are so many people here, where are you going to find him?" Li Xiuning asked immediately after hearing this.

"Yeah, you don't even know where he is now. Isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack to find him?" Song Yuzhi also asked.

"Don't worry. Ziling and I have both practiced the Secret of Immortality, so we will have some kind of connection with each other," Xiang Nan explained.

After hearing what he said, Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi nodded.

"Then I'll go with you. You haven't finished telling your Journey to the West yet." Song Yuzhi said with a smile again.

"No, it's too dangerous." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Those people will definitely chase me again. It's too dangerous for you to follow me."

"Miss Xiuning, I have been helped by you these days. I really have no way to repay you, so I will give you two of my inventions.

One is the curved plow, which is lighter and smaller, and is easy to turn around, saving manpower and animal power; the other is called woodblock printing, which is to carve the words on the woodblock in reverse before printing. In this way, printing books is much more convenient, and there is no need to hire people to copy them. "Then he said to Li Xiuning.

The curved plow and woodblock printing were both invented in the Tang Dynasty. These two inventions promoted the development of agriculture and the popularization of culture respectively, both of which benefited the country and the people.

Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi were very surprised to see Xiang Nan's two inventions. They praised Xiang Nan for being a genius who could think of such inventions. It was truly amazing.
