一花一剑 🌸🗡️

one flower, one sword

[xueyuverse]

Chapters 46, 48 and 53 of the revised version of TGCF

"花枝退魔" would be the title of the bunch of flowers that Xie Lian carries in his paintings and sculptures, while "执花退魔那一剑" refers to his title Flower Crown Martial God, where, as the literal translation says, Xie Lian carries a bunch of flowers in one hand and a sword in the other.

Lang Qianqiu says that the first time he saw Guoshi Fang Xin, he was carrying a bunch of flowers in one hand and a sword in the other. Hua Cheng says that Xie Lian was trying to protect him, whether with a talisman or a bunch of flowers capable of exorcising/warding off demons.

The title "花枝退魔" can also be considered a play on words (correct me if I'm wrong, by the way) and its meaning can also be "a beautiful woman can drive away demons", reinforcing once again Xie Lian's femininity and how much people praised his androgyny.

田径体育异男

我叫李子昂，就读於北市一间体育大学，主修田径。虽然说运动员每日的训练量不容小覷，但年轻的肉体总是蕴含著惊人的精力，附近又有一所音乐大学，淫糜的故事不断在同学之间流传，像是主修钢琴的校花跟练跳远的Eason、练举重的Teddy大搞3P，最后各被无套中出了两次，听说好一阵子下不了床，等一下了床从此就跟两位肌肉棒子好上，据说无时无刻想要討干，甚至有人谣传在学校厕所看到校花帮两位体育健將口交，一脸陶醉沉迷。

我虽然不比其他人纵慾，但那並不代表我输给他们了。相反的，长年练田径的我肌肉虽然不比其他人壮硕，但精实的胸肌和壁垒分明的腹肌和腰身，我可是一点都没少，一双长腿黝黑笔直，虽然没什么腿毛，但不是我自夸。每次和隔壁音乐系的学妹上床，17公分的阳具总是顶到学妹最深处，让她花枝乱颤、淫水直流，每次都让学妹一边喊著受不了了，一边又要我射进去，有时候心情不好，甚至还会故意操久一点，让学妹受不了尿在床上。总是在床上叱吒风云的我，总是可以满足所有女人的需求，却没有想到有一天我也会爱上操男人的感觉。

我和主修篮球的龙哥住在北市的一间小公寓里，除了厕所跟客厅就只有两间房间。两个男人生活的环境必定不会太好，客厅总是散落著喝过的啤酒、或者是穿过的內裤，但今天的客厅却有人整理过，龙哥的房门没开灯，我心想应该是不在家，便脱了精光准备洗澡。

不得不说一下我跟龙哥都有一个怪癖，就是不喜欢穿衣服。这个癖好是在我���住在一起半年后一次喝酒才知道的，从那之后不管对方有没有在家，想全裸的时候就会全裸，反正大家都是男的也不在意。

从浴室出来时，连身上的水珠也没擦乾，由於太热而扩散的子孙袋摇摇摆摆撞击著大腿，正思考著晚餐要如何打发，一道身影从龙哥的房间走出，却不是龙哥。

「誒！？抱歉，抱歉，我不知道龙哥带朋友回来！」

来人身高不高，大约只有168公分，身体很厚实却很白，还有著即使穿著T-SHIRT也掩盖不住的胸肌、二头肌。他看到我的裸体，唰的一下脸就红了：「我以为是龙哥在洗澡，我想要厕所，没想到是他室友回来了。」

「喔喔，龙哥没有跟我说他带朋友回来。」看著他白皙的脸上一抹显而易见的红，我突然兴起戏謔这个人的念头：「干嘛脸红阿，哈哈，没看过男人裸体吗？」

「恩……有。」

我注意到他用眼角余光打量著我。「那还这么害羞，不是大家都有的东西嘛哈哈，还是说你想摸摸看？」不知为何觉得戏謔非常有趣，说著就拉著他的手往自己肉棒上贴，想不到他也没躲就这么摸了上来。

「怎么样，大吧？」我寡廉鲜耻地问。

「恩……好大，跟龙哥的差不多大了……」

「哈哈，原来你这傢伙也看过龙哥的啦。」

我以为他马上就会把手收回去，想不到他就这么搓揉了起来。而且……就算我两天没有打枪了，也不至於硬的这么快吧！他的手並不细，甚至手上有些厚茧，然后这些厚茧却带给我不小的刺激，他的手指一下子滑过冠状沟，一下子用手掌包覆整个龟头轻轻转动，另一只手更是搭上了玩弄两颗睪丸。

从来没有想过男人的手也可以带来这么刺激，起码比起其他女生轻柔柔的挑逗还更舒服。

「恩……好爽，都勃起了。」我往后靠在墙壁上，用眼神示意他继续。谁叫我两天没有清枪，而眼前又有双手帮自己打枪，虽然是个男人，但闭上眼睛享受也不坏。

「干……好爽……阿……」自己昂然的肉棒突然进入到一个湿润又热腾腾的狭窄空间，睁开双眼这个男人竟然在帮我口交，男人！？但是……干，好爽，比我遇过的所有女生都还会吹。

两片湿润的嘴唇包覆住我高涨膨胀的龟头，大量的口水在他口中分泌达到了润滑的效果，一个壮硕的男人跪在地上，用一种接近虔诚、遇见自己最心爱之物的態度在帮我口交，这点让我非常兴奋，看著他向內凹地的帅气脸颊，自己的龟头被舔的油亮亮，不时与他上顎摩擦，繫带则被舌头不断地挑逗。

空气中充斥著他故意发出噗嗤、噗哧的吸允声，我心里虽然抗拒男人帮我口交，但所体验到的快感却是精采绝伦，使得我摆动我的狗公腰，快速的进出狭窄的通道，巨大的快感压过了理智，压住他的头每一下摆动我都用力干到最深，享受龟头跟喉间摩擦的快感，无数眼泪从他眼中流出，却无法阻止我勃发的性慾。

「干！干死你这张嘴，吃很爽吗？再吃阿！干死你。」臃肿的龟头穿过嘴唇，粗壮的茎干挺进，他的脸几乎埋在我的阴毛中：「干，爱吃就让你吃，爱吃屌是吧？老子屌好吃吧！」

越来越高涨的快感促使我加速摆动臀部，17/5的大阴茎快速抽擦著他的嘴。

「干、好爽阿！要射了干，要射了射了……啊！」用力將他的脸埋进我的阴毛中，我的肉棒在他喉咙间收缩，然后將大批的精液射了进去，我知道今天量一定很多，因为我起码抽动了七、八下。高潮的快感持续了快十秒，然后我才放开他的头，看著他满面潮红的在地上咳嗽，一时之间不知道怎么反应，只好拿了卫生纸给他，一边帮忙拍背：「你……还好吧？」

「没、没事，但是你射好多。」他阳光的笑著，比著肚子：「都在这里了喔。」

「痾……对不起……」本来温驯害羞他的突然变得阳光，这种转变让我脑袋一时转不过来愣在原地。

「我叫佑轩！」

「你、你好，我是子昂……。」

说著佑轩脱掉了衣服，厚实胸膛有两粒激凸的粉红色奶头，八块腹肌整整齐齐，粗壮的大腿跟小腿说明了这个人时常锻链，身体强度可能还比我强。而他两腿间的小佑轩已经勃起，大约15公分的长度但跟我差不多粗，形状非常漂亮，龟头还是粉嫩的。

「我也想出来……。」

「蛤？」这意思、是要我也帮他吹吗？

「你可以摸我奶头吗？」他这句话倒是解了我的围。虽然平常没有跟男人有过这么多亲密举动，也丝毫不感兴趣，但这个男人刚刚帮我做了这么多事情，实在不忍心拒绝……何况，这男人的身体其实也不赖。剑眉星目的娃娃脸配上壮硕的肌肉，一身皮肤比女人还白，其实我並不反感……我在想什么啊？

他又重新跪在我面前，引导著我的手去摸他的奶头，两颗小小的粉红色的凸起点，而且非常敏感，才刚摸到他就开始淫荡的呻吟，健壮的手臂快速著套弄自己阴茎。

「恩……好舒服、干……好淫荡啊，奶头好舒服啊，好喜欢被摸，啊……，干淫荡死了。」

看著如此优质的男人跪在我腿前发骚，说心中一点悸动都没有是骗人的，因此跨间的肉棒又隱隱开始甦醒，而他也没有放过这个机会，又凑了上来开始吸允，像个孩子吃著棒棒糖一样。虽然刚射完精，但他第二波攻势並不强烈，因此没有感到太多不適，感觉又是慢慢回来了。

「怎么办，这样我打不出来……」佑轩抬头看著我，眼睛里带著小狗的无辜，让我肉棒又坚挺了几分。

「那怎么办？」

「可以……干我吗？」

「蛤！」我脑海里面一阵空白，男人！？男人要怎么干？

佑轩却背对我趴了下来，然后高高翘起屁股，掰开自己多肉紧实的屁股，露出中间狭小的粉红色隙缝，像只母狗一样等著交配。

「放、放得进去吗？」要把我17/5的大屌放进去那条细缝里面，怎么可能办的到？

「可以的，涂点口水，拜託子昂哥哥干我吧，骚穴好痒啊……哥哥用肉棒帮人家止痒吧……。」说著开始扭动屁股，见此我也顾不得什么理智，毕竟我的肉棒又硬到不行急需发泄。

往他屁眼吐了两口口水，扶著我的龟头瞄准那条粉红色的隙缝挤过去。刚开始非常的紧，几乎没有推进的可能，肛门的肌肉紧紧夹住我的龟头，肉壁与龟头摩擦的感觉非常明確，虽然没有女人的阴道那么热，但绝对比女人还紧，接著佑轩的屁股用力，像是要將我的阴茎挤出去，却是让我更进来几分。

「干，好大……好爽……要被填满了。」佑轩的语气带著巨大的满足。

「干，好紧……怎么会这么紧……。」我此刻像是哥布伦发现新大陆，慾望与好奇並存，一方面又惊讶於屁眼伸缩的弹性。

肉棒挤开几乎没有空间的肠壁一点点顶进，一直到17公分的肉棒全部放了进来了仍然感觉有空间。佑轩迷茫喊著：「恩……到底了，好舒服啊……」

慢慢的我开始活塞运动，操男人还是第一次做，每次抽出到肛门口时，就会出现一股阻力，慢慢挺进到最里面，感觉肠壁里的肉正在摩擦自己肉棒，每一次抽插几乎都是整根拔出在插进来。

「干、没想到干男人的穴也这么爽！」我慢慢加速的一抽一动，看佑轩的屁股整根吃进我的肉棒，淫荡的画面让我每次都加重动作，撞击在佑轩的肉臀在上发出啪、啪、啪的声音，佑轩的屁眼像是有什么魔力按摩的肉棒非常舒服，我一边揉捏佑轩的奶头，一边享受抽插的快感。

整个客厅都是佑轩叫床的声音。

「啊啊啊……子昂哥哥干死我了，干老公的大鸡巴……」

「嗯啊……干的老婆好爽，干死我的骚穴了。」

「干！我是你的母狗，把精液都射进来，想要在帮妳生个小母狗啊……好爽……」

而我此刻忘情地投入到这场性爱中，我的上半身紧贴著佑轩的背部，两手揉捏著佑轩的乳头，我发现只要一捏乳头佑轩就会忘情地叫床，甚至把自己当成被干的母狗。我不断换著姿势，直到硕大的龟头顶到一个略为粗糙的点，只是一下佑轩像是被电到一般，称在地板上的双手一抖险些撑不住。

我知道我找到了，就像女生有G点一样，我猜想男生也会有点可以刺激。佑轩发出一声难以置信的欢愉叫床，身体差点软倒在地，强烈的快感让佑轩全身都在发抖：「老公继续操我，老婆好爽……不要停……」

我高高抬起臀部，硕大的龟头留在佑轩的肛门口，重重的插了进去摩擦佑轩的G点，然后再一次。我像个慢速打桩机，每一下都重重的撞在佑轩的G点上，佑轩这时候已经被我干到迷茫了，被我撞击一下G点就叫床一次。然后我慢慢加速，紧紧抱住佑轩无力瘫软的上半身。

「不行了…好老公……老婆要被干出来了…老婆要被干出来了……不行了……」

闻言更是激起我的热情，干出来？男人也可以被干到射精吗？重重的往肉穴里面撞击，佑轩的声音越来越已经由叫床转为喜悦地哭泣，我伸手握住他的龟头，精液马上喷涌而出，尽数贡献在我的右手。

干，这个男人被我干到射精了。原来干男人竟然比干女人更有征服感，征服一个肌肉剽悍的鲜肉竟然如此愉快。我的阴茎还留在佑轩体內，佑轩的肉棒没有消肿，甚至他也还没从射精的剧烈快感回復过来。

「我还没射呢！」

我躺下来，让佑轩跨坐在我身上，这是我最喜欢的骑乘式，还没让佑轩做好反映我就猛然往上顶。

「老公还没射老婆怎么可以休息呢？」

这个体位给佑轩的刺激显然更大，佑轩的鼻涕和眼泪喷涌而出，我知道这个人已经爽到了极致，无法分辨现在的状况了。

「老公不行了……不要了……太爽了受不了……呜…」佑轩的手努力想要撑起自己的身体，见状我马上將他的手压住不让他离开，强迫他接受我的抽插。这个姿势更可以看见我粗黑的肉棒干进佑轩的肉穴里，甚至抽插时被我翻出的一点新肉也看得很清楚。

「不要动，老公要让你爽到死掉。」在佑轩高潮后我的粗黑屌依旧攻击他的G点没有鬆懈。

「啊啊啊……要尿尿了…老公让老婆尿尿吧……受不了了…屁眼好爽……鸡鸡也好爽……啊……。」

「老公……休息一下…啊……老婆骚穴被干烂了……。」

不断的抽插使我的极限也快要到了，因此更是尽全力摆动腰力。

「不行了…快停…啊不行了……老婆…老婆又要射了…」

但这次从佑轩肉棒里喷涌而出的不是精液，而是黄澄澄的尿液，这波高潮让佑轩屁股的紧度达到巔峰，虽然我仍然干著肉穴，却缩短了我达到高潮的时间。

「呜呜…尿尿了…好爽…不行了…」

「啊啊啊！！！」我因为即將到来的高潮大吼。

佑轩的屌是上翘屌，黄澄澄的尿液原本只是流出，到后来变成喷涌，全部都尿在佑轩自己身上，然后再往下流到我身上，而我也达到了高潮，在佑轩外翻的肉穴里射出白浊的精液。

佑轩健壮的身体压在我身上，沉甸甸的却不討厌，却是趴在我身上睡著了。我疲软的阴茎从佑轩身中退出，还带著因为高速抽插而產生的白色泡沫，方才射进去的精液此刻全都流了出来，佑轩的屁眼已经变成了我的形状。

我大口喘著气，知道自己以后已经离不开操男人屁眼，尤其是佑轩的屁眼。现在唯一的问题是，我要怎么跟龙哥解释地板上的尿液呢？

English Translation:

Verse 1:

Wandering faraway; who is the enemy and who is a friend of the wanderer?

During these ten years of mist and clouds along with a cup of wine,

This body is like a fluttering silk flying through the beautiful city of Jiangnan;

After the ice melts, the flowers and the moon are far away facing towards the willows of Pingjiang river.

Pre-chorus 1:

Intoxicated in a drunken dream of three autumns[1] in the Jianghu,[2]

The good and evil of the human heart are solely for love and grievance,

Yet still not able to forget the promise with a lifelong friend to age old together…

Chorus:

Yet like this ancient dream of grasses,

Now unrestrained for the rest of lifetime, too apathetic to know pleasure and regrets.

Only longing to engage in a battle of dancing with swords,

Holding a cup of wine, inquiring with a smile to comfort this solitude man.

Deep madness and anger merely buried in the vast Underworld,[3]

Yet who is the one holding the lantern in the spectral ghost valley and for whom?

Here in this place forever, exists the mundane world[4] with eternal light.

Verse 2:

Ten thousand ghosts fill through the opening of the light ray exposure;

Turning to one side, there is the lean, graceful white robe of a certain person.

Enchanted and fell in love after long days, even a thin quilt feels much warmer than a raccoon fur coat. 

As long as we stay together, even the cold, snowy night in Bashan feels as warm as it does during the day.

Pre-chorus 2:

Whose hand is it that passes right through the jade pot of an icily cold heart?

Not unless this thread of love is plucked out [5] that the truth can be clear;

The most unbearable thing to look at is the fact that this spring breeze will never be the same anymore.

Chorus:

Yet like this ancient dream of grasses,

Now unrestrained for the rest of lifetime, too apathetic to know pleasure and regrets.

Only longing to engage in a battle of dancing with swords,

Holding a cup of wine, inquiring with a smile to comfort this solitude man.

Deep madness and anger merely buried in the vast Underworld,

Yet who is the one holding the lantern in the spectral ghost valley [6] and for whom?

Here in this exact place forever, exists the mundane world with eternal light.

Break:

But through this one ray of light,

How fortunate to be able to pay back this passion surrounding several rounds of life and death?

Yet who cares about those past events?

Truth or false; this heartbeat clearly still lingers with warmth!

Last Chorus:

The wind peak cliff is far away; there is no place to shelter in,

This foolish world is never limited to a square inch.

Unsheathing the sword, wandering for good spring in faraway.

*Translator's Notes:

The literal title of this song is “Looking for Spring in the End of the World”, but I translated it more in Faraway Wanderers’ version: “Wandering for Spring Faraway”.

[1]: Chinese proverb, one day like three autumns: missing someone (most cases, lovers) felt eternally long, even one day feels like waiting three autumns to pass. 

[2]: Jianghu, refers to Chinese wuxia, xianxia world (the martial arts world)

[3]: literally written “The Yellow Springs”, which means the Underworld (where the dead go in the afterlife)

[4]: Red dust means mundane world

[5]: in my opinion, can also refer to the phrase “tug/pluck at one’s heartstrings” which means to stir up emotions. 

[6]: Ghost den, but in case of Tian Ya Ke I would like to translate it as valley :D

*Jiangnan, Pinjiang are the names of region in China.

the AD scene of Hua Cheng setting Xie Lian loose in the armory for the first time is SO fucking cute 😭😭 XL's like a little kid in a candy store, he's bouncing off the walls. The start of the scene is so silly:

谢怜：——是兵器库？可......可以摸啊？ 花城：哥哥随意。 谢怜：这短剑阴锋诡谲，最宜刺杀！此刀只需择一明主，以一当百没有问题.....等等！这是什么？这是不是双头转灵剑——我只在传说里听过！ 花城： 哥哥，你觉得如何？ 谢怜：还有这把，什么如何？ 花城：喜欢吗？ 谢怜：喜欢啊！ 花城：有多喜欢？ 谢怜：太喜欢了！

[Enters the armory] Xie Lian: —Is it an armory?! Can... can I touch? Hu Cheng: You're free to do as you wish Gege. Xie Lian [excitedly grabs a weapon]: The edge on this dagger is treacherous, it's perfect for assassinations! This knife only needs to choose a talented master, you could go one against a hundred, no problem! Wait! What’s this?! [Draws a sword] Is this a double-ended spiritual sword?! I've only ever heard of it in legends!! Hua Cheng: Gege, what do you think? Xie Lian: [absentmindedly] And this one.... Think about what? Hua Cheng: Do you like it? Xie Lian [with delight]: I like it!! Hua Cheng: How much do you like it? Xie Lian [excitedly]: I like it so much!!!! [Xie Lian runs off to look at more swords and the scene continues]

low君's Recap of MLCB

第七名：《莲花楼》！ In seventh place, Mysterious Lotus Casebook! 李莲花长命百岁。 May Li Lianhua live a long life [to be a hundred years old].

《莲花楼》剧里剧外高度一致。它只播了十八天，和李莲花的寿命一样短。它也和李莲花一样好，到现在还让莲络人们久久难忘！播完了反而引发长尾效应：爱奇艺热度破万、豆瓣58万人打出8.5的高分、主角配角纷纷破圈、产出各种莲学热梗。 Mysterious Lotus Casebook was consistent both within and outside the drama. It broadcasted for only 18 days, a length as short as Li Lianhua’s lifespan. It is also as good as Li Lianhua, even now still not leaving lianluoren’s memory for a long time! In fact, its impact has continued to last even after the end of its broadcast: its iQiyi heat broke ten thousand; on Douban, it received a high score of 8.5 from 580,000 ratings; main and supporting roles gained fame [beyond fan circles] one after another; and it created all sorts of popular “lian-style” punchlines. 一字诗：绝！ To summarize in a one-word poem: excellent!

作为一部悬疑武侠探案剧，《莲花楼》有很多优点，但最让人印象深刻的还是人物！ As a mystery/wuxia/crime-solving drama, Mysterious Lotus Casebook has a lot of merits, but what has left the deepest impression upon viewers must still be its characters!  就在江湖之上我们看到了太对惊喜。 Within the jianghu alone, we have seen too many pleasant surprises.

角丽樵疯得彻底也爱得痴狂。 Jiao Liqiao went insane to the point of completion, and also loved to the point of infatuated obsession.

乔婉娩不再等待归人，拿起了她的剑。 Qiao Wanmian no longer waited for someone to return, and instead picked up and drew her own sword.

笛飞声认定了对手就一辈子不会放手。 Di Feisheng recognized one person as his well-matched adversary and thus, in this lifetime, would not let him go.

方多病初出茅庐却热血赤诚。 Fang Duobing was naive and inexperienced, yet also ardently righteous and utterly sincere [wholly devoted].

而从天下第一的李相夷到放下一切的李莲花，他来时一叶扁舟、去时江上漂流，经历了一场对整个江湖的盛大告别后挑了个自己喜欢的结局。 And from the Li Xiangyi who was number one beneath the heavens to the Li Lianhua who had set everything down, his arrival was on a small boat, and his departure was carried away by the currents of the river. After experiencing a splendorous farewell to the entirety of the jianghu, he chose an ending that he himself liked. 

这部剧后劲如此之大在于看完之后有所感。 That the drama’s after-effects were so great has to do with how it made viewers feel after they finished watching.  它在匆忙人世里写放下、写告别、写顿悟、写没有如果不必回头、写从前那样很好现在这样也很好。 Within the hurried bustle of the human world, it told a story of setting things down; of bidding goodbye; of sudden enlightenment in a moment’s time; of no what-if’s and no need to look back; of “How it was in the past, was good; how it is now, is also good.” 原来一念心清静真的能莲花处处开。 So it turns out that with a single thought, the heart attains peace; and lotus flowers truly can bloom all around.
