TGCF Book 3 Reaction pt.5 - Adventures before Mt. Tonglu, the REDUX

*Sigh* Tumblr crashed at the worst timing. I have to do this all over again. Or at least make a quick abridge version.

I’m just going to try my best, *sigh*

Anyways. Lots of stuff happening before Mount Tonglu opens that it should deserve it’s own post or two considering that there are like five things happening in there or something and like over twenty Hualian moments highlighted in pastel pink. Can’t wait to continue from my last post to this. Cause the ending of that post of the Wind & Water Masters Arc has me realing at times.

QYZ and Xie Lian have go on a mission. They hav to find the Brocade Immortal Robe. But first a short break at Puqi shrine and Lang Ying.

Ch 129: Everywhere Xie Lian looks, he is reminded of Hua Cheng

- Me: Dang. Xie Lian has it bad. He is missing Hua Cheng like a housewife waiting for husband to get home.

Lang Ying: *Eats Xie Lian’s cooking like it’s nothing, helps around the house, basically doing all of the tasks Hua Cheng usually does.*

Xie Lian: I’m going to take a bath

Lang Ying: *Enters and sees a half naked Xie Lian. Runs away. Come back to take away QYZ and runs away again.*

- Me: Oh, so Hua Cheng did switch places with Lang Ying. ((My son! Hua Cheng, why?!))

Ch 130: QYZ’s backstory is revealed. 

- Me: Why does that sound familiar? Is it because of the story from the Lantern Festival? Some reference to another book read?

QYZ’s story reveals that a Heavenly Official named Yin Yu was banished

- Me: *gasp* Wait. Is Yin Yu the banished Heavenly Official that Xie Lian saw working for Hua Cheng?

Golden Step-Litter appears to give Xie Lian a ride to somewhere. QYZ sees the Step-Litter like it’s the coolest thing he has ever seen. QYZ wants to ride it, but was pushed off. Xie Lian almost got pushed off, but ‘Lang Ying’ caught him.

- Me: Dang, cause I know who ‘Lang Ying’ is, it feels so sad when Xie Lian was going to call for ‘San Lang’, but it ended up as ‘San- Lang Ying’

QYZ is so chaotic. Does he have ADHD? I feel like he has ADHD and/or some levels of Autism. Though I don’t know cause I’m no expert.

QYZ does something reckless without thinking. Xie Lian, mother hens him and convinces him to stop 

- Me: QYZ and Xie Lian reminds me of that one D:BH comic with QYZ as baby Connor trying to put everything in his mouth and Xie Lian is Hank, trying to stop him.

Yin Yu(?) does a good job, looks like he will pass out.

- Me: Yin Yu(?) looks like he needs a vacation and more pay.

The robes move and circle around the two Heavenly Officials

- Me: This reminds me of that one clothing commercial where the outfits were chasing this group of people. Once cornered, they changed the group of people’s outfits.

Xie Lian is the person who grabs the one cursed article of clothing from the donations box out of any other clothing.

- Me: *sob* book. Please stop reminding me of Xie Lian’s E Rank (Cursed) Luck. He needs that curse removed. Please.

Ace Attorney Xie Lian strikes again. Target: Ling Wen

QYZ has taken a liking towards Xie Lian. Like a puppy who follows you home after you give it some food and head pats. He behaves like a young boy from a shounen slice of life anime or a kid with ADHD.

- Me: QYZ, what a person

Xie Lian asks Lang Ying some casual questions. Makes it seem as though nothing is wrong.

- Me: gasp is this when Xie Lian will pull a question like “So, how have you enjoyed everything so far these past few days San Lang?” ‘Lang Ying’: “It could have been better if these Heavenly Officials left you alone Ge...ge....oh.”

Xie Lian corners ‘Lang Ying’ with calligraphy writing until the boy had no choice but to confess he is Hua Cheng

- Me: Now that is smart. Played Hua Cheng like a fiddle somewhat.

Ch 134: Xie Lian: After meeting you, I remember how to be happy again

- Me: QAQ

Xie Lian made homemade meatballs. QYZ eats one and passes out.

- Me: Oh god. Xie Lian. Do you know someone named Bianchi from KHR? I feel like if you two were to meet, you will be knowledgeable in Poison Cooking

Heaven’s Eye to Xie Lian: You! Your lips are tainted. You have kissed evil.

Xie Lian: *sweats* N-no. I haven’t.

Hua Cheng: *Looks at Xie Lian suspiciously*

- Me: ohohoh, Alright Xie Lian. You say that

Xie Lian lies to cover up his status, but his lies crash down on him and harm his reputation with Puqi village.

Puqi Shrine takes hits from two Heavenly Official’s fighting and 40-50 Cultivators striking down it’s door. Puqi shrine, collapse

- Me: Farewell Puqi Shrine. You have served Xie Lian so well.

Xie Lian: Stands straighter, and has a certain expression on his face

- Me: oh, will he finally snap now?

Xie Lian: Yells at the Cultivators. Then weaponizes his homemade meatballs into a poison that can only be detoxed by drinking 80 cups of water

- Me: Xie Lian, are you trying to kill them? You are basically joking that if they drink over a week’s worth of water, they will be ‘cured’. No, what is most likely going to happen is that they will die from too much water consumption.

Xie Lian: Reporting what happened about Ling Wen to Ling Wen.

Xie Lian: *realization*.....oh.

- Me: (QAQ)     Now Xie Lian’s group of people he knows in Heaven shrinks again. The amount of people he was close too was really small, after SQX, I think Ling Wen was next. Now who will fill that gap?

Ch 136: Hua Cheng transformed into Hong Hong-Er’s age. Xie Lian: *pinches cheeks*

- Me: Aww. So cute.

Hua Cheng: With Mount Tonglu opening, He Xuan is hibernating

- Me: Black Water =?= Black Bear

Ch 137: Xie Lian crossdress again for safety

- Oh, now that outfit is better on Xie Lian than the last time he had to crossdress.

Random Food Stall owner, gives up on life after his stall is ruined

- Me: Cabbage guy: “MY CABBAGES!”

On the run, Xie Lian and Hua Cheng enters an inn run by Ghosts. They hide in the second floor and the group of Cultivators follow soon after.

- Jeez, I wonder who they could be.

The comedic skit of the Cultivators & Heaven’s Eye dodging from eating Ghost Food just because of their harsh criticism over the dirty dishes. 

- Me: Will they fall for it, dang it, they did not.

Ghost lady: oh yeah. We have some suspicious guests on the second floor. Guests on the second floor: Why do I/we feel like we’ve been ratted out?

----

Okay. Going to stop here. Because I’m tired and still a bit salty that my og post was lost. However, I did go farther with this one than the og post. So that’s something at least.

Next time is more of the Inn, some Mount Tonglu entrance exam thing, and possibly a bit of Mount Tonglu...hopefully? Otherwise, I think I will split Mount Tonglu into three separate cause a lot happens in there, more than the Wind & Water Master’s arc.

Sakiyama Tsubasa Crescent Moon release event report

I should be studying but let’s do this thing first! I went to the release event organized by Animate on Saturday (oct. 13). The event location was Seijoh hall in Sendagaya, Tokyo. I’d never been in the area, and the location was really a small public hall - luckily it was easy to find and some girls brought itaba <3 Half an hour or longer before the start we had to line up in pairs and then got in. Seats were decided by picking a lottery ticket out of a box and I was lucky enough to sit on the fourth row, though all the way to the side (legit right next to the wall xD). It was a really small but nice place. I’m not sure how many tickets there were for the event each time but the hall was about  half full when it started. We first got a welcome from an Animate staff member and then she called Sakiyama-san on stage. The audience got asked if this was their first time hearing the new songs live or if some had already been to the free lives before.  Sakiyama also revealed that he was/is definitely working on ‘something’ but he could’t say what yet, but he seemed very serious about it so I expect we can get some good news from him soon! His outfit for the day was a shirt with short black frayed (jeans) vest and loose, low-crotch black pants. His hair was quite natural and softlooking as usual xD He talked quite a bit about how the new song is more leaning towards rock music, but this time he’d do an acoustic version, and called Kei-san on stage (Hirosue Kei).  Kei made the acoustic compositions for the songs one day beforehand if I’m not mistaken so that’s pretty impressive! The first song was, of course, Crescent Moon. It sounded really good acoustically and Sakiyama did a wonderful job getting the rythm right.  The second song was the acoustic version of Rasen, as it’s on the single, but just with Kei’s guitar. It was really nice!  Before the third song, Sakiyama said he had a special guest and joked about it like ‘is it my mom? my dad? a school friend?’ and then he called Yu-san on stage. He’s the one who wrote the song and lyrics for Kinmokusei, so Sakiyama asked if there is something in the lyrics that based of a real experience, and Yu said that he did have a classmate from middle school who became a teacher.   Kinmokusei is already a very gentel, melancholic song so it’s very fitting for an acoustic version with guitar and keyboard and is such a beautiful and emotional song (I got teary-eyed rip). They also mentioned how autumn is a unique season and about how certain things can trigger your memory - aka the Proust effect.  They hoped that hearing the song, we would be reminded of the live event and think of the good time we  had. The live itself was over really fast, but then everyone still got to line up for a handshake and free poster. Sooo that’s where I got nervous xD I’ve spoken to people/band members before but this was still different. I really wanted to express my feelings and not fuck up.  I died a little, the dokis were strong, and I was so focused on speaking proper Japanese that I couldn’t concentrate on anything else. I looked at him but I feel like all my senses blacked out. He’s beautiful and all smiles and I hate that I don’t remember how his hands felt (warm probably) but... I got to say what I wanted to say (just said otsukaresama deshita and that the acoustic versions were really nice) and he said my Japanese was good (it means it’s good but you’re still obviously a foreigner) and asked where I’m from, so I said Belgium - and that I’d bring Belgian chocolate next time because I didn’t have any prepared QAQ NEXT TIME, please. /insert many prayer hands (the animate staff member was already tapping my shoulder to tell me to move on but HE JUST ASKED ME A QUESTION PLS LET ME ANSWER FFF xD) When I went outside I saw the girl who was in front of me and we’d talked a tiny bit while in line and she was seriously so nervous she couldn’t speak in front of him so I checked if she was ok and we agreed that the dokis were strong. Another girl joined because she heard me say I’m from Belgium and we talked a bit - turns out we’re all cosplayers - and don’t have any other Sakiyama/Toumyu fan friends. I was really happy I got to talk to them in the end, all practice is good and it’s nice to meet more people I could see at other events. Anyway It was super short but so worth it. Sakiyama is such an adorable guy, he’s sweet and funny, and he honestly has improved on singing even though he was always pretty good. I hope we get more music from him and that we’ll soon hear about the new work he mentioned °v°
