people always repeat this.
When I first watched the finale, I kept looking for evidence that Xiao Heng was alive, trying desperately to convince myself that they would have a comedy ending.
After calming down, I just want to know their real ending.
watched it frame by frame over and over again, pondering each scene carefully. It turned out that those inconspicuous details had already foreshadowed their ending.
" Mo Yuyunjian " seems to have an open ending, but in fact it is a tragic ending with hidden Easter eggs.
01
Before Xiao Heng went to the Dai Kingdom, he made an agreement with Jiang Li that when the wintersweet flowers bloom, it will be the time for his safe and triumphant return.
Xue Fangfei often watered the wintersweet tree. After watering, she would sit in front of the wintersweet tree and look ahead. She was waiting for Xiao Heng to come back.
When Xue Fangfei was looking into the distance, the screen cut to the battlefield where Yan State and Dai State were fighting.
Only Wen Ji, Lu Ji, and Xiao Heng were left in Dayan's army. The long period of fighting made them somewhat exhausted, but the enemy's reinforcements continued to flow.
At this time, a spear came towards him, but Wen Ji didn't notice it. Seeing that the spear couldn't be avoided, Lu Ji pushed Wen Ji away and blocked it himself.
Lu Ji died in battle, and Wen Ji's eyes were covered by grief and hatred. When people are grieving, they inevitably fail to notice. Dai's archers launched an attack under the cover of thick smoke. An oversight, and Wen Ji was also hit. Death by arrow.
Lu Ji and Wen Ji died in battle one after another, leaving Xiao Heng alone on the battlefield.
02
Lu Ji and Wen Ji went to their deaths in a hurry, and the hint of the complete annihilation of the Yan army was very obvious.
Before Xiao Heng went to the Dai Kingdom, he had hinted that the Yan Kingdom's military strength was insufficient, and the remnants of the king's reign had not been eliminated, so the Yanjing city still needed troops to guard it.
As soon as King Cheng dies, the Dai Kingdom will definitely come out in force, but Xiao Heng only led the Longwu Army, so there is a huge disparity in strength.
After Xiao Heng went to Dai to fight, Jiang Xiangguo also asked Xue Fangfei. He said that Xiao Heng would probably not come back, and asked her to make plans for herself.
Everything implies that Xiao Heng's death is a narrow escape.
After Lu Ji and Wen Ji died, the general of Dai wanted to capture Xiao Heng alive and withdrew the archers. Ah Li's jade pendant was knocked down. At the critical moment of life and death, Xiao Heng rose up and killed Dai with Lu Ji's sword. The general of the country avenged him.
He picked up the jade pendant and put it in his mouth, and Daiguo's reinforcements came once again.
When he looked up, the first snow had arrived, and the day he and Xue Fangfei agreed on was coming. But now, he is besieged by Daiguo's army, and there is no one left behind, so he may not be able to return.
When the heavy snow first arrived, Xue Fangfei was running in the corridor in red. Xiao Heng looked up again. Through the flying snowflakes in the sky, he seemed to see Ah Li waiting for her in the capital.
But there was no longing in his eyes, instead there was a bit of determination.
As the screen rotates, the emotions in Xiao Heng's eyes gradually change, from fear, determination, indifference, numbness, until finally, he has the will to die.
03
The screen switched again, still next to the wintersweet tree.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, Xue Fangfei walked slowly in red. As she slowly approached, her figure and appearance gradually became clearer.
She stood there, her eyes were reddish, her brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a bit of sadness and sorrow in her eyes that the promise had been broken. It was like a dream, both true and false.
The same red clothes, similar clouds and mist, this scene is exactly the same as Xue Fangfei’s dream when she was drugged in the first episode, and it has a feeling of echoing back and forth.
The first snowfall, the heavy snowfall, and the end of the snow, the wintersweet flowers have bloomed, and the green grass has spread over Xue Fangfei's ankles, but the person she is waiting for has not come back yet.
At first, when the date of return was agreed upon, the wintersweet tree was not as tall as a person. Now, the small wintersweet tree has grown into a towering tree. The small characters carved by Xiao Heng back then have gradually stretched out. But back then, she was promised that the flower blooming would be the return date of the person. But still didn't come back.
Wintersweet, red Xue Fangfei, and green grass appear in one picture. They seem harmonious, but in fact they are abrupt, making people suspect that this flower does not bloom in reality, but in a dream.
Perhaps it wasn't that the wintersweet flowers kept blooming, but that she had been waiting for Xiao Heng to come back.
04
A man rode up from a distance. He was riding a white horse and was wearing Ah Li's jade pendant around his waist.
Wintersweet blossoms are blooming, and a horse is coming with a civet cat and jade pendant. This direction is very obvious, and the person coming must be Xiao Heng.
It's just that when Xiao Heng came back, he was riding a white horse instead of the brown horse he used when he went out to fight.
The white horse has symbolized luck, success, and hope since ancient times. But are these luck, success, and hope in reality, or in Xue Fangfei’s dream? Does
represent Xiao Heng’s true triumph, or does it just represent the hope in Xue Fangfei’s heart?
Xue Fangfei, who was under the wintersweet tree, felt someone approaching on horseback. She looked back, but before she could see clearly, the story was frozen at the moment she looked back, and everything came to an abrupt end.
"Between Mo Yuyun" came to an abrupt end when people were most looking forward to it. What came to an abrupt end was the story itself, the dream, or Xue Fangfei's lifespan?
05
"Mo Yu Yun Jian" seems to have an open ending, but in fact it is a tragic ending, and the easter eggs are really just to cover up.
What really makes people think deeply about "Mo Yu Yun Jian" is not Xiao Heng's ending, but Xue Fangfei's ending.
When the heavy snow first arrived, the red dress Xue Fangfei wore was exactly the same as the red dress Yu Hongye wore after Xiao Minhan died.
I don’t think Xue Fangfei will die for love, so I can only find another reasonable explanation.
Back then, Xiao Heng and Xue Fangfei agreed to come to see her when the wintersweet blossoms bloomed, but he broke the promise.
Several years later, Xue Fangfei died during the wintersweet season. This time, Xiao Heng came to pick him up, just like Xiao Minhan came to pick up Yu Hongye.
