Since Daomu Biji is in Wu Xie's first person POV, it's difficult to know what Xiaoge is thinking and what kind of character Xiaoge is. Let's get to know him bit by bit through some info that I found in Chinese fandom and my meta hehe. Please note that I'm not fluent in Chinese, so this post contains a heavy amount of MTL, and people tend to have a different perception and understanding of things, so just take it easy, okay? (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

Zhang Qiling's Appearance
Zhang Qiling's Body Type
Zhang Qiling's Personality
Zhang Qiling's Character Origin/Prototype
Zhang Qiling's Character Development (a simple meta by me)
First of all, let's take a look at the character "Zhang Qiling" according to Chinese sites and other sites as well.
Source: Baidu [I only took some parts of it, for more info about Zhang Qiling, please visit the site]
The author Nanpai Sanshu mentioned in an interview that Xiaoge is the kindest, wisest, mysterious and powerful character in the whole book. In addition, in the original text of DaoBi (Daomu Biji), Xiaoge has maintained a young appearance for decades. The author calls him "the complete body of immortality", so he will not suffer from the sequelae of immortality such as "corpse transformation", which can be said to be a perfect immortal.
❆ 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 ❆
He has a pair of calm (indifferent) and clear eyes—Daomu Biji Vol. 2: Heavenly Palace on the Clouds (Part 1) Ch. 48 (MereBear's Translation), Wu Xie's Private Notes Ch. 9 (MereBear's Translation)
Reference: A photo of a young man appeared on the slide. He was silent, calm, and his eyes were as clear as clear water. He was carrying something on his back and walking normally. His eyes were looking in the direction of the camera. He obviously saw the person taking the photo, but he didn't care at all.—Sand Sea 3 Ch. 28 | Ch. 139 (MereBear's Translation)
Good-looking
Reference: "Why don't we just find a wife for him and marry him off to a rich woman? With his looks, I think we can make some money."—Daomu Biji Vol. 6: Ancient Building Under the Dark Mountain Ch. 1 (MereBear's Translation)
Well-proportioned, handsome, and eye-catching (wearing a suit)
Reference: Men You Ping has a well-proportioned figure and a blank expression. He looks very handsome in a suit and is extremely eye-catching."—Daomu Biji Vol. 7: Stone Shadow in Qiong Cave Ch. 5 (MereBear's Translation)
His face is quite distinctive
Reference: Xiaoge's face is actually quite distinctive. He is not someone who would be lost in the crowd.—Tibetan Sea Flower 1 Ch. 21 (MereBear's Translation)
Wu Xie is the ultimate beauty that can be seen in the world, and Zhang Qiling is invisible to the world——too corny (NPSS's interview) [I think what it means by "invisible to the world" refers to the inner beauty, his kindness perhaps? But this kind of answer should be a joke lol]
He is 180cm tall, fair-skinned, silent, with dark hair and dark pupils, his eyes half covered by his hair (NPSS's interview)
❆ 𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝑻𝒚𝒑𝒆 ❆
He has a lot of muscle mass
Reference: Xiaoge's weight is actually moderate, and he has a lot of muscle mass. So even though he looks lean and well-proportioned, his actual weight feels much heavier than the last time I helped him.—Daomu Biji Vol. 8: Finale Ch. 56 (MereBear's Translation)
He has a high muscle fiber density
Reference:
Liang Wan was able to touch patient Zhang’s arm while giving him a routine examination. Although his muscles weren’t very exaggerated, the density of the fibers was beyond comprehension.—Sand Sea 1: Introduction Part 2 (MereBear's Translation)
He [the doctor] then proceeded to squeeze Men You Ping's muscles, "Your muscle fiber density is even better than that of athletes. What kind of exercises do you do?"—Notes in Rain Village 2 Ch. 20 (MereBear's Translation)
❆ 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 ❆
Silent, indifferent, alienated, and easily misunderstood
Reference: If you are not in the same group as Men You Ping, you will feel very uncomfortable with him, and you will feel more and more uncomfortable. People who know him know that he is just taking a nap when he leans there, but people who don't know him think that this gloomy guy is full of bad intentions and ready to torture them.—Sand Sea 4 Ch. 208 (MereBear's Translation)
Strong action, perseverance, and fearlessness
Reference: He is a man who keeps moving forward for his purpose. Even if there are countless barbs on the road he walks on, he will keep moving forward, regardless of any harm along the way, until all his flesh is scraped off by the barbs or he reaches his destination alive.—Daomu Biji Vol. 8: Finale Ch. 75 (MereBear's Translation)
Spiritual leader and give a sense of security
Reference: He often has a blank expression on his face, but once his expression changes, it usually means he is about to face a critical situation. In the ancient tomb, he acts as the spiritual leader of the team, and his companions obey his instructions, always giving those around him a sense of security.—Daomu Biji Vol. 1 (Part 2): Angry Sea, Hidden Sands
Strong heart and the king of fighting
Reference: Ma Pingchuan thought it very strange that he was having a serious conversation with a teenager, and he even felt overwhelmed by the child's aura.—Tibetan Sea Flower 1 Ch. 3 (MereBear's Translation)
Act cautiously and carefully, clear the way and lead the way
Reference: He leaped in front of the mummy without hesitation, and looked at his mouth first. Finding that there was nothing in his mouth, he put his hands under the corpse's armpits and pressed it down.—Daomu Biji 1 (Part 2): Angry Sea, Hidden Sands Ch. 62 (MereBear's Translation)
Mysterious and unique
Reference: There had to be something strange about those seven bridges-if you got on the wrong one, you'd likely encounter a disaster. In order to avoid this trouble, Poker-Face chose another way-it really was his style to never follow the path others had arranged.—Daomu Biji Vol. 8: Finale Ch. 59 (Merebear's Translation)
Calm and resilient
Reference: I remained silent. I didn't know what kind of person Menyouping was, but I could vouch for his psychological endurance. This kind of person's psychological quality has reached a certain level. It is very difficult to make him receive a great stimulus.—Daomu Biji Vol. 5: Snake Marsh Ghost City Ch. 60 (MereBear's Translation)
Selflessness, a strong sense of responsibility, saving people in distress, and silently dedicate to protect others
Reference: Men You Ping shook his head, "Your level of awareness is too low. If our theory is correct, then whatever happened is extremely dangerous. I am afraid you won’t be able to handle it. I'll keep watching all night, you should have a good rest."—Daomu Biji Vol. 5: Snake Marsh Ghost City Ch. 20 (MereBear's Translation)
Repay evil with kindness and respect life
Reference: An old man had died during our stay in the village, and Mem You Ping had also shown him a kind of attentiveness before he had died. When the old man fell asleep in the sun, Men You Ping would often stop and take a look at him.—Daomu Biji Extra: Fishing King Ch. 26 (Merebear's Translation)
[Note: I can only put one excerpt from the book as a supplement, but there are definitely many words worth your attention in the book :)]
❆ 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑶𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒏/𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒚𝒑𝒆 ❆
If we talk about Zhang Qiling's prototype, we should go back to the first draft of Daomu Biji that NPSS posted on QQ Space under the title 《阴间笔记•七星皇陵篇》 "Notes from the Underworld: The Seven-Star Imperial Tomb" and its outline setting (see here for details). Later, he posted the fanfiction of Ghost Blows Out the Light on its Post Bar under the title 《七星鲁王宫》 "Seven Stars Lu Palace" (the original post is gone now, but here is a little glimpse of it). As you may already know, Daomu Biji was started as a fanfiction of 《鬼吹灯》 "Ghost Blows Out the Light" by 天下霸唱 (Tianxia Bachang). People often regard it as the pioneer of the tomb-robbing novel due to its popularity back in its heyday and it has a huge influence on the same genre later on, Daomu Biji is no exception. In the Ghost Blows Out the Light, there are three major characters, Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, and Wang Pangzi. Among those three characters, only Wang Pangzi shares the similarity to "Wang Pangzi" in Daomu Biji. Then, how about other characters? Is Zhang Qiling a gender-changed Shirley Yang?
According to this post by MuzzledIdealist, the answer is below:
Q: Is Zhang Qiling a gender-changed Shirley Yang?
A: I don’t know where the rumor that Zhang Qiling is a gender-changed Shirley Yang came from… His [NPSS's] first chapter was indeed a Ghost Blows Out the Light fanfiction serialized in the Ghost Blows Out the Light forum [Baidu Post Bar], but the first chapter was about the tomb-robbing in Changsha fifty years ago, and the names Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie did not appear at all. The protagonists of Xu Lei's [NPSS's] earliest writing plan were ZYN (370’s original name), "I" and "Sun Zhongwei" (see the character setting, it was later split into Pangzi, Pan Zi, and Wu Sanxing). The prototype of Zhang Qiling is 370. I never whitewash Xu Lei, although the initial story background borrowed from Ghost Blows Out the Light, Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie have always been original [characters].
In the fanfiction that was written by NPSS, there were no characters with the name "Zhang Qiling" and "Wu Xie". Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie have always been the original from DaoBi and it has nothing to do with Ghost Blows Out the Light. Even so, Zhang Qiling indeed has a real person prototype which appeared in that fanfiction, he is ZYN (I don't know if it's appropriate to put a real person's name here), he is a former classmate of NPSS.
[For more info, see 张起灵相关bot's post or here or here]
NPSS had a classmate and roommate in high school. His bed number was 370 (homonymous with Zhang Qiling), and later he was his deskmate. In [TEDxSISU Fever], Sanshu said that he was a rare person who could notice and understand him, and he was a very good friend. The author turned this "most important man" into the most important character in the novel, Zhang Qiling, and expressed his feelings for this close friend.
"Look at your current deskmate, that inconspicuous little boy back then, who has now spread the story of you and me to the whole world." ✦
ZYN who is the prototype of Zhang Qiling is a man, then how could Zhang Qiling set to be a female character? See the explanation below:
About Zhang Qiling who was supposed to be a woman disguised as a man was first mentioned in the lecture at Fudan University in 2013:
Source: 大头尸胎
However, there is a follow-up interview on March 11, 2023 which basically implied that it's actually not NPSS's idea to set him as the female lead and Zhang Qiling is a man from the beginning to the end.
Q: It has been rumored that Zhang Qiling was originally intended to be a female character? NPSS: This happened a long time ago. These were my thoughts when I was writing the first chapter, he was definitely intended to be a male character at the beginning. Many colleagues told me that he should be a female character and that I should write him as a female character. The seniors at that time were still quite traditional. The seniors in the magazines said that you need a female lead. I was wondering what to do. They said that you should just write Zhang Qiling as a female character. I hesitated at that time, but then I followed the whole process to write it. Because his prototype was my classmate, it was difficult to write him as a female character. It was hard to imagine. I also know very few female characters. In fact, I have been working hard to learn how to write a female character in recent years.
Source: Text | Video | Summary
I think NPSS has his own idea in his mind, when his senior colleague suggested adding a heroine and thought about making PingXie as an official pairing, he hesitated at first, but in the end, he did try it and even had the idea of disguising as the opposite gender (and perhaps to make it easier to write), but later he realized that Zhang Qiling can only exist as a man. He sticks to his words at this point, because I can tell that in the subsequent series, he used descriptions such as "has a lot of muscle mass", "almost inhuman speed", "incomparably strong", "weight feels much heavier", "has a high muscle fiber density", "carrying on one shoulder", "a body more perfect than an athlete", etc. Why do I feel like he works so hard to nullify the words "the body is soft as a woman's" in the earliest book? Does he feel guilty to his former classmate? ( ≖‿ ≖ )
The most interesting thing is that Zhang Qiling and his prototype share many similarities, such as being born in November, being a Scorpio, having a shoe size of 43, being 180 cm in height, and Uncle 370's (fans in Chinese fandom often called ZYN "370叔") wife's birthday is on March 5, which is also Wu Xie's birthday (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

❆ 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑫𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒑𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 ❆
This is only a simple meta of Xiaoge's character development before and after he meets Wu Xie and Pangzi, which is also purely my personal opinion and does not represent NPSS's opinion. First of all, since I think that Zhang Qiling's character development is deeply influenced and inseparable from Wu Xie's character development, I labeled this meta as a cp-oriented analysis just in case. Nevertheless, I tried my best not to see it with shipping goggles though we don't need it. It's short and may not be perfect, I only read the books from the main story to the period of Notes in Rain Village (and extra stories) once, and it was over half a year ago. If there are any mistakes, I apologize. And if it's okay with you, here you go~
⚠︎ Warning: Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers!
What is so unique about Zhang Qiling (and Wu Xie) is that every stage of their life shows a different temperament (though I won't talk about all of them here, it would be too long). Zhang Qiling has lived for a long time and experienced many things.
Tibetan Sea Flower Online Q&A on August 31, 2024:
Q: Universe God, I want to ask you, when Xiaoge first saw Wu Xie being so friendly and kind to him, did he find it hard to believe that there are people in the world who simply cherish and love him without any ulterior motives?
A: Zhang Qiling can see through people's hearts at a glance. It's not that he is smart, but that he has seen too much. People are very simple to Zhang Qiling.
There is a change of heart before and after Xiaoge meets Wu Xie, as well as some behavioral changes when he gets out of the Bronze Door in ten years. It's difficult to see because we rarely have a glimpse of what Xiaoge is thinking through Wu Xie's perspective. However, it's not impossible to see as long as you pay attention carefully to his various actions. In ten years, his outer appearance may not change, but the core of his personality has changed to a certain extent, and he started to put value on many aspects of his life. In other words, he is no longer indifferent to some things. His world has gained a warm color.
Let's go back to his early days. In Three Days of Silence, there are three perspectives about Xiaoge. The first one is the perspective of the little lama's senior brothers, they said that he resembles a postman without destinations. Outsiders who don't know about Xiaoge think that Xiaoge lacks human nature, so he looks out of place in the human world. However, he is not without destinations. He knows clearly what he has to do because he had those so-called missions appear in his head before he had the chance to figure out who he was. The second is the little lama's perspective, he thought that Xiaoge is like Buddha who has no desire to think about worldly affairs. And the third is how the master denied that Xiaoge is like Buddha, people who are born without desires are stones.
Since the day he was born, Xiaoge's freedom has been taken away from him. This freedom was replaced with the Zhang family missions, making his life full of purpose, and yet it was not his own purpose. No one tells him to live his own life, and he doesn't even know how to do it, because from the very beginning he has been living this way.
In the subsequent narration, the master said that Xiaoge was like a stone, but Xiaoge eventually came to meet his mother. It was proof that he was not completely a stone, it was just that his desire as a human was hidden within himself. He needs a revelation to make him realize that it exists and that it's okay to feel it.
“You have to learn to think and miss that the first and last gift your mother gives you will be your heart that was hidden by those people.”
Even so, trusting and loving someone is not an easy task. The moment he understood what the master said, he lost his mother. It was the first time he could feel his connection with the world, but also the first time he lost it. He has a strong heart and resolve, so he was searching for this "connection" again, but the only thing he could find was all about the Zhang family's missions.
He continued, "I am a person without a past and a future. All I do is to find find my connection with this world. Where did I come from and why am I here?" He looked at his hands and said calmly, "Can you imagine that if someone like me disappears from this world, no one will find out, as if I have never existed in this world, without leaving any trace? Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I often doubt whether I really exist or am just a phantom of a person."—Daomu Biji Vol. 4: Snake Marsh Ghost City (Part II) Chapter 18 | Chapter 47 (MereBear's Translation)
In the process of searching, he had seen too much and gradually understood that what has meaning today may lose its meaning tomorrow.
Tencent Video Interview in September 2024
Q: Tibetan Sea Flower is actually a process of searching for him.
A: Searching for his past is also a process of him going from a god to a human being, and Sand Sea is a process of Wu Xie going from a human to a god, and they cross paths in the middle.
"Does meaning have any meaning?" Menyouping showed a rare concern for the word "meaning". He looked at the blazing bonfire and said, "The word meaning itself has no meaning."—Daomu Biji Vol. 8: Finale (Part II) Chapter 17 | Chapter 78 (MereBear's Translation)
He once hoped, but he never dared to put so much expectation, until Wu Xie appeared.
Tibetan Sea Flower Online Q&A on September 22, 2024
Q: Has Wu Xie ever taught Zhang Qiling anything?
A: There is a person called Wu Xie in the world, and this is the first time you have seen him in a hundred years.
Then, let's take a look at this series of statements by NPSS about Zhang Qiling.
NPSS wrote about Zhang Qiling at the end of vol. 8:
Men You Ping: This is a powerful man who is like a god or Buddha. I can always write with extra ease when he is around, because as long as he is by your side, he can protect you from all disasters and pains. He has no words, he is not happy, he is not sad, he always stands there like a [Chinese] porcelain doll, watching everything indifferently [my friend said "瓷娃娃" is a symbolic sculpture without the feeling of sorrow or joy], but you know he cares about you. No one can ever bring you so much sense of security like him. However, I don't know why, when I write about the various actions of this man, I always feel a deep sadness in my heart.
As he said, he is a person without past and future. His only connection with the world seems to have little value [it was before he claimed Wu Xie as his only connection with the world, at that time he was only searching for his memories and clues about himself which actually led to his responsibility as Zhang Qiling but not his true self]. He doesn't know where he came from or where he will go. He only knows that he has something he must do in this world. "Can you imagine? One day, when you wake up from a cave, you don't know anything and look around in confusion, you already have a responsibility that you must shoulder. You have no right to see the scenery along the way, you can't enjoy [to be with] friends and lovers, and all the beautiful things in your life have lost their meaning to you the moment you regain consciousness."
Zhang Qiling is carrying his own destiny in silence. What hurts me the most is that he just carried it nonchalantly, as if it was all natural, as if it was just an insignificant matter. If you ask him, he will just shake his head silently and tell you: "It doesn't matter". This is the man I wrote. He bears the most painful fate in the world, even a thousand times more painful than death, but he is not angry or sad, neither escaping nor suffering. He is right there, telling everyone he protects that it doesn't matter.
Zhang Qiling is physically and mentally strong, if not he wouldn't have survived all alone by himself in those years. However, being strong doesn't mean he has no weakness. He is not omnipotent nor a god. Having a weakness is a sign that he is human. He is observant and cautious, he is often caught off guard when received Tianshou (which can't be predicted) or when he loses too much blood (because his wound takes longer to heal than ordinary people). Most of the time, he feels indifferent to the pain. He endures it well, but he is not immune to it, he still feels hurt.
Snake Ancestor ignored him. After he was done, he said to Men You Ping: "Your hand will hurt so much that you can't move it for three days. It will be like stone, but you won't die."
Men You Ping raised his bitten hand and took a deep breath. He saw that the blood vessels near the wound were bulging, and his stiff fingers began to move instantly.
"Can you still move? Impossible?" Snake Ancestor was surprised. "Don't you feel pain?"
"It does hurt." Menyouping shook his hands and switched the knife to his other hand. With a loud snap, the young master was knocked over and fell on his back. The entire floor arched up, and a huge claw-like insect flipped up from under the floor, and the floor fragments were scattered everywhere.—Daomu Biji Extra: Fantasy Ch. 20 | Ch. 2.24 (MereBear's Translation)
Then, he meets Wu Xie.
Tibetan Sea Flower Online Q&A on August 31, 2024:
Q: What was Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie's first impression of each other?
A: Wu: Wow, what a cocky guy. Zhang: It seems like there is an amateur in the team.
Facebook Interview on September 18, 2014:
Q: I want to know why Xiaoge takes such good care of Tianzhen throughout the whole story, because his care for Tianzhen has gone beyond the scope of friends and colleagues (personal opinion).
A: When you see people around you being as weak as tofu*, you will also think of giving them some protection so that you don't have to do the laundry [something like 'avoid unnecessary trouble'].
*豆腐 "tofu": I'm not sure if international fans know about tofu, there are many variations of tofu, but the texture of tofu is usually very soft and easily broken if you don't handle it properly.
Tibetan Sea Flower Online Q&A on August 31, 2024:
Q: When did Zhang Qiling start to feel that Wu Xie was special?
A: When Wu Xie performed impossible and inhumane miracles time and time again.
Douyin Live on 16 September, 2024:
Q: There is a line in the book "Tibetan Sea Flower" that says that Xiaoge lost his connection with the world. Do you think it was a certain turning point that made Xiaoge feel that he had some connection with the world again? Or was it not a certain moment, but the accumulation of various friendships and experiences?
A: I can give you an example. You know that there are people who can establish a connection with you, and you know that there are people who can work hard to connect you with the world. Maybe he himself is the anchor point of that connection, but you also know that this person will not always be there. Zhang Qiling knows very well that it is impossible for someone to always do this, because his destiny is to be disconnected from the world, and his entire life is to be constantly disconnected. So he knew that in his long life, there might be many people willing to do this, but who would be willing to do this all the time? Zhang Qiling had no hope for this, because he had experienced many separations and seen many such situations.
So when the Iron Triangle was formed, Zhang Qiling initially thought that this might just be a short journey, a short connection. He knew that maybe it could be done. Ordinary people can always become god-like in a short period of time. Ordinary people have this light, but if you can become god-like for a lifetime, Zhang Qiling has never thought about it, but the Iron Triangle is moving towards this possibility. They will become a lifelong connection. For Wu Xie and Pangzi, they have burned up all their time.
This is a more real connection than anyone Zhang Qiling can remember.
Tencent Video Open Day Live on 9 September, 2024:
Q: It is known that Wu Xie is a magnificient scholar of Zhang Studies, but what about Zhang Qiling? How much does he know about Wu Xie? Who knows him better, him or Wu Xie?
A: I think Wu Xie is a very simple person. Wu Xie's resume is written on one A4 page. So I think Zhang Qiling knows more about Wu Xie. Moreover, Zhang Qiling has seen so many people. He may have only one question about Wu Xie, that is, among so many people, what is the difference between Wu Xie and others. Wu Xie in his long life, he would think that Wu Xie is somewhat different. What is the difference?Right, because Wu Xie wiped out the Zhang family (slip of the tongue, it should be the Wang family) by himself.
Nanjing Live Broadcast on August 16, 2023:
Q: What is the relationship between the Iron Triangle from Zhang Qiling’s perspective?
A: I think he has to go through several stages. At the beginning, he will think of two mortals, two ordinary people, and then try his best to protect them. Then slowly he discovered that these two people also had a slightly different aura. And in many cases, it is said that the behaviors and states of these people are beyond the energy range of ordinary people. For example, he may encounter very persistent people many times in his life. But those who are persistent may not be able to hold on for a year or two. In other words, his harsh life is something that others cannot keep up with. But he met someone like Wu Xie who always persistent and became stronger and stronger, constantly upgrading himself. This person is very special. He may be different from others. In such a long world, people like this are rare. This person is very special. He may be different from others. In such a long world, such people are rare. Then there is Wang Pangzi. How can this person do it? The way they do it is different. Wu Xie relies on persistence, and Pangzi relies on being heartless and shameless. So it feels that in the past, all the companions around you may disappear after walking and walking, but these two people not only did not disappear, but their presence became stronger and stronger. In the end, I feel that I will get used to it slowly.
Taobao Live Broadcast on October 30, 2022:
Q: After Zhang Qiling met Wu Xie and others from the beginning and experienced so much together now, will there be any changes in his mentality?
A: I think his world will become a warm color. His previous world was not a cold color, but a neutral color. It made no difference to him whether he had it or not. There was no concept of ownership in his life, whether I was owned by you or I owned something myself. When the world has warm tones, (although) he is essentially a person who has no meaning to him for any possession, the only thing he can have is that color. There may still be various problems with his memory in the future, but that touch of warmth will eventually belong to him, and the color of that world and that period of time cannot be washed or erased. What I mean is that even Tianshou can't erase that kind of temperature. I think this is the most core change in his mentality.
Live broadcast on June 11, 2021:
NPSS: For Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie is his only connection with the human world. He can have no connection with the human world. After so many years, Wu Xie is the opportunity for him to be willing to connect with the human world. This is also something that requires courage for him, because connecting with Wu Xie means connecting with other people. At the beginning, Wu Xie was just one of the many people he had saved, but Wu Xie reached a state of transcendence through his own qualities. He can attract another person who is not a mortal. There is such a person. When you look at him, you will have this feeling-
Host: This is that person, this is the person I am looking for.
NPSS: Yes.
It only takes less than two years to change Zhang Qiling's opinion about Wu Xie, from 'one of the people he had saved' to 'his only connection with this world'. Two years are just a small number in Xiaoge's long life, but the days when they got along together in life-and-death situations are much more meaningful than what he ever imagined. Knowing him little by little, Xiaoge feels that Wu Xie is different, a rare soul. Wu Xie cares about him without any hidden intentions. He is sincere and persistent, proving himself that he has exceeded Xiaoge's presumptions of human beings, again and again.
"Human beings are much scarier than ghosts, and it is hard to understand people's hearts," said Men You Ping, "Living people are worse than ghosts." After saying that, he glanced at Laba's hidden knife.—Tibetan Sea Flower 1 Ch. 12
Later, NPSS explained about Zhang Qiling's farewell in Hangzhou (see more here or here):
"He came to find Wu Xie, which was the biggest emotion in his life for so many years."
Xiaoge is not without emotions. For Zhang Qiling who has seen too much and experienced all sorts of things, it's not easy to cause a spark in his heart. He has his own way of dealing with his own emotions and expressing his feelings. As an analogy, his emotional state is like an ocean; vast, calm, and deep. A small ripple won't have any effect on him, and the waves were just small frictions on the surface. Despite this, that day when he came to Hangzhou to say goodbye to Wu Xie, he felt the greatest emotions after so many years of emotional numbness.
"I came to say goodbye to you." He said, "It's all over. I thought about my connection with this world, and it seems that the only one I can find now is you."—Daomu Biji Vol. 8: Finale (Part II) Ch. 25 | Ch. 76 (MereBear's Translation)
It was stated in Tibetan Sea Flower that Xiaoge also came to Pangzi and entrusted him with three things, which are related to Wu Xie's presumably future actions.
"The first thing is that you found his statue." Pangzi said, "This proves that you found the place where he began to lose connection with this world. This statue was made for him by the best craftsman in the temple at that time. It is his only projection in this world."—Tibetan Sea Flower 2 Ch. 19 | Ch. 84 (MereBear's Translation)
Each encounter has its own purpose. Pangzi didn't chase after Xiaoge, because he understood that if Xiaoge choose not to tell him everything, then so be it, and no one can stop him once he made a decision. On the other hand, Wu Xie has an intrigued temper which is different from Pangzi. If Xiaoge deliberately didn't tell him anything, Wu Xie could just go find it out by himself.
Xiaoge is someone who solves the problem right on the spot the moment he figures it out, and he will not do something unnecessary.

Q: How would Wu Xie or Xiaoge overcome difficulties when they encounter them, or what is their psychology?
A: Xiaoge overcomes the difficulties on the spot, while Wu Xie overcomes the difficulties secretly.
He came to Wu Xie, even though it had nothing to do with his mission. He could just go straight away to Changbai mountains, but he didn't. What did he expect after saying those words? He was aware of Wu Xie's temper, yet he still went to find him and said something that even Wu Xie might not know what it meant at that time; because he wanted him to know.
He had lost his connection with this world once, and he was going to experience it again. There was no need to carve his emotions on a stone, he now understood it very well; to think and miss; to have his own desire. He wanted Wu Xie to know how important he was to him. He is always selfless, but this time he found again his long-lost desire, a selfish desire.
"It's all over. I thought about my connection with this world, and it seems that the only one I can find now is you."
Those words are not just ordinary "romantic" or "insignificant" words. They can't be understood with a superficial approach, but only after reading Tibetan Sea Flower and Three Days of Silence or Zhang Qiling's story that the meaning can be conveyed properly. They carry so much meaning that speaks volumes of what Xiaoge was thinking at that time. It was the first time after he lost his mother, Baima, that he had his own "desire" again.
“Wu Xie is the opportunity for him to be willing to connect with the human world. This is also something that requires courage for him, because connecting with Wu Xie means connecting with other people.”
In other words, Wu Xie is like a "bridge" that connects Zhang Qiling's world to the human world, and leads to another lifelong companionship like Pangzi. Even to this day, a genuine and sincere relationship without any malice is rare to be found in this world. Wu Xie is an important part of Xiaoge's existence, and recognizing this strong bond won't make Zhang Qiling lose himself. On the contrary, Wu Xie helped him to find his pieces of life and finally do something he truly wants. It's not a one-sided feeling, Xiaoge sacrificed himself for Wu Xie, and it was not out of obligation or courtesy. And it was also the case with Wu Xie defeated the Wang family. Their feelings for each other have always been unconditional, they don't ask anything in return, and what they have done only shows how far they can go for the other.
Xiaoge: “I will give you my whole life in exchange for your ten years of innocence.”
Wu Xie: “I will use my ten years in exchange for your stability and peace of mind for the rest of your life”
There is so much happening after this period that it is worth talking about, but it's getting too long. Perhaps I will continue it, but I cannot guarantee anything (∩˃ω˂∩)
Thank you for reading! ^^

"Can you imagine? One day you suddenly wake up in a cave and look around without knowing anything, but you already have a responsibility that you must shoulder. You have no right to see the scenery along the way, and you can’t enjoy your friends and lovers. The moment you regain consciousness, all the beautiful things in your life have no meaning to you.
Zhang Qiling is carrying his own destiny in silence." (DMBJ Volume 8, Postcript)

Fandoms: 盗墓笔记重启 | The Lost Tomb Reboot (TV), 盗墓笔记 - 南派三叔 | The Grave Robbers’ Chronicles - Xu Lei
Relationships: Wang Pangzi/Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling
Summary: “Hi,” he whispers softly, so as not to wake Xiaoge. He’s also trying not to move because Xiaoge’s head is currently resting on his shoulder, but with Pangzi touching him like this it’s proving a little more difficult. “Happy month-late birthday.”
Wu Xie feels warm in a way that has nothing to do with the three of them being crammed together in a bed that is only just big enough for them. He’s so loved, and he loves so much in return. Not a day goes by where he doesn’t wonder what he did to deserve to be this happy.
He places his hand on top of Xiaoge’s and brushes his thumb over Pangzi’s hand where it’s resting underneath.
Mornings like this are his favourite. They don’t need to go anywhere or do anything. They can simply just be.
“I was just asking Pangzi what he wants to do today,” Wu Xie explains, smiling as Xiaoge brushes his hand with his thumb in a mirror of what he’s doing to Pangzi.
Xiaoge gets an adorable little crease between his brows when he’s thinking. It makes Wu Xie want to brush it away, but his hands are otherwise occupied at the moment.
“Breakfast?” He finally asks and Pangzi gasps with feigned shock.
“Well, I know you must be spoiling me if you’re offering to cook, and I’m grateful, but I think maybe I should be the one to make breakfast, hm? Remember what happened last time?”

Oooh, I think we all know I want ALL the Arranged Marriage AU, but instead I'm going to be very restrained as ask about MIdway, because I enjoy watching Liu Sang take Wu Xie out at the ankles.
I think I've babbled about this before, but the idea (which came to be before I finished Knives, so I need to do some updating) is that Liu Sang accepted a job before his relationship with Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling started, and now it's happening and he's planning on going on his own. It's shady as shit (some foreigners want to dig up a Chinese tomb, he's shocked they got the permits) but it pays a ton and Liu Sang, Actual Professional Business Owner Person, is going. Wu Xie wants to come and Liu Sang is Not Having It.
(and then it's really shady and Liu Sang starts detectiving while also trying to look out for this group of somewhat obnoxious foreign grad students and it turns out that he does actually need the help... but Wu Xie has disobeyed his wishes and showed up literally the day before he plans to call in the troops. In extremely unconvincing disguise that somehow (insult to injury!) manages to convince the foreigners. Wu Xie is in so much trouble.)
Here's a few snippets about Liu Sang, Actual Professional:
The thing is, Liu Sang took the job a few months ago, after the worst of Warehouse 11 when all he could think to do was take job after job. He needed to re-establish himself as separate from the Wu family, from the Nine Gates. He needed the money, because if there was anything he’d learned from his Great Wu Xie Adventure it was that if his hearing tanked, his whole business would go belly-up. And... he needed the distance, a space away from everything he had been feeling by the time he’d walked out of Warehouse 11. If that had changed after Wu Xie’s birthday and the start of this fragile new relationship, well-- he had commitments, didn’t he? He needed to keep them.
Even if he’d been taking every job that came his way, though, he’d still turned this one down at first. When his broker mentioned an archaelogical dig and foreigners, he’d automatically said he wasn’t interested. And he wasn’t. Working with foreigners was exhausting-- the translation aspect meant that even when he wasn’t actively listening for whatever he was being paid to hear, he was trying to puzzle out what the foreigners were saying. It was part of why he’d picked up so many languages-- it was easier on his brain to just study a new language in his spare time than to try to parse half-remembered words while mapping a space or conducting corporate espionage.
and also
Liu Sang has two different approaches with the drivers sent to pick him up for jobs. In most cases, he acknowledges that they are here to retrieve him, hands over his equipment, and then ignores them. A lot of time when it’s tombs, the driver’s a lackey, he doesn’t know anything (it’s vanishingly rare to have a woman driver) and it doesn’t help Liu Sang establish his credibility as an expert to be caught gossiping with the help.
The second approach he deploys rarely, but when he needs more intel about what he’s walking into. And in a situation where he’s working for foreigners of dubious motives, he needs all the information he can get. He’s a little surprised, honestly, that it’s just a driver-- in previous work he’s done with foreigners there has often been a foreigner and Chinese guide meeting him at the airport, but he doesn’t think too much about that.
“Lao Yang, what can you tell me about these foreigners?” he asks, once they are settled in and headed to the dig site. He’s got three hours in the car to pump the older man for information, and he’s going to get as much as he can.
#ask game#midway in a kiss series#liu sang is an actual professional business person#and runs an actual professional business#he's definitely going to get info on these shady foreigners#and eventually fight crime(ish)#Wu Xie is going to be in so much trouble#and Liu Sang is going to take it out in trade#Xiaoge is the smart one here#who knows better than to piss off Liu Sang#pingxiesang#snippets#boundaries!

First lines fic meme (they’re all so lame)
Thanks @laireshi for tagging me.
Generally in chronological order, including some short things. Also this does look like I started writing three months ago, but I’m not including the one fic I posted four years ago even if it is DMBJ because I’ve done so many things between then and when I started posting again and I can’t be bothered to scrounge them up.
Patterns-wise I think I generally don’t go for strong opening lines? I keep whatever got me started on a fic, probably because recently I haven’t been spending a lot of time dwelling over my fic thoughts before pumping one out and just posting it. For example, Debt is an exception, because I’d played around with the idea for quite a while before I decided it was something I could write and post. Or some of the short ones, because I cut out the boring parts and go straight to the action (well, "action” by my standards. They don’t even kiss)
Gotta go with Guanyin for my favourite opening line. Doesn’t make much sense outside of context, but after reading the fic and coming back to it it really hits different. Runner’s up maybe my Yantou fic for how romantic it is. Pingxie is obviously a slow-burn ship, and even things like Keping and Yanping it’s not that romantic. Yanping is an idealised love, but also a selfish one. Keping can be very romantic, but there’s a quiet and enduring quality to it that’s still different.
1. Snow Country (Zhang Haike/Zhang Qiling or rather Zhang Haike & Zhang Qiling)
They got back home just as New Year’s rolled around.
2. Untitled Yucun Garden c.12 inspired fic (Pingxie)
That night, my dreams cycled through ice and fire as I froze to death in one dream before immediately immolating in another.
3. Untitled Xiaoge whump-ish thing (short)
Pangzi and Wu Xie were talking about something again.
4. Everybody Finds Love (In the End) (A-Tou/Liang Yanyan)
A-Tou knew, the moment she first laid eyes on Liang Yanyan, that she was never going back to what her life had been.
5. Who Dares Not Gaze Upon Guanyin? (Pingxie)
(Not mine! But I’ll never pass up on a chance to promote it, probably the best Pingxie fic I’ve ever read.)
We often had festivals to thank the gods in the village. Who was it who dared not look upon Guanyin?
6. Untitled Zhang Hailou/Zhang Qiling vignette
Zhang Qiling’s tongue sweeps across his lips, leaving an obvious line of crimson in its wake.
7. Eternal Glaciers (Pingxie)
“His heart is like ice,” Wu Xie said after a good few glasses of alcohol.
8. And maybe there would be just one fish in there. (Pingxie, Yucun Garden c.5 extension)
I looked at Menyouping, still watching the show. He noticed me, of course, and turned to look at me.
9. Debt (Pingxie)
I came close to fucking him once.
10. His Name (Zhang Hailou/Zhang Qiling)
Of all the Zhang clansmen, Zhang Hailou mused, Wu Xie probably hated him the most.
11. Qilin Among Clouds (Pingxie)
It all started with my grandmother’s 90th birthday.
12. Spring Shall Come (Pingxie)
Zhang Qiling passed out the moment they stepped off the mountain and met up with Wu Xie’s subordinates, startling both Wu Xie and Pangzi.
I think everyone I’ve seen has been tagged already lol?

Fools
Rating: General Audiences Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply Category: M/M Fandoms: 盗墓笔记重启 | The Lost Tomb Reboot (TV), 盗墓笔记 - 南派三叔 | The Grave Robbers' Chronicles - Xu Lei Relationship: Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling Characters: Wu Xie (DMBJ Series), Zhang Qiling, Wang Pangzi Additional Tags: Angst with a Happy Ending, Feelings Realization, First Kiss, Getting Together, Falling In Love, Anxiety, Overthinking, wu xie being wu xie, After the 10-Year Promise, Pangzi Just Wants Them To Get Together So He Doesn't Have To Watch Them Be Fools, But Wu Xie Overthinks Too Much, Happy Birthday Wu Xie!
Fools
By: LogicDive
Summary: Wu Xie kept his side of the promise, coming to Changbai Mountain ten years later to bring Xiaoge home. But, Xiaoge has been acting differently since his return - especially the last few weeks. Sneaking around, going out without saying a word, and seeming to trust Pangzi more than Wu Xie. His biggest fear is Xiaoge is disappointed in him, and all the things he did the ten years Xiaoge was gone.
He feared Xiaoge would leave again...
But, the truth of Xiaoge's behavior was something Wu Xie never imagined happening.
-Read the full oneshot here-
Xiaoge hadn’t been acting right.
While this wasn’t a new observation, it had been bothering Wu Xie more the longer it went on. Initially, it was easy to explain away, but it had been months since he’d returned to Changbai Mountain to meet Xiaoge again. Months since they had returned to Wushanju and tried to pick up things where they had left off. But it had been ten years, and that amount of time could change a person.
Maybe not Xiaoge, who hadn’t seemed to change at all. He looked the same. He still only spoke when needed, or necessary. When he trained in the courtyard, Wu Xie could map out his movements, knowing what would come next as he glided from one position to the next. Xiaoge still stuck his hands into the pockets of his hoodie when he was thinking. He still preferred drinking the white tea that Pangzi had introduced to him, instead of the Longjing tea Wu Xie had always kept around.
But, Wu Xie had changed in ways even he wasn’t completely aware of. He’d become harder, colder, more jaded than he’d been when Xiaoge had first met him. He wasn’t the naive Xiao Sanye that had needed to be protected, watched over, and rescued more than once. Wu Xie had also grown older, and where they had once looked similar in age, the difference in their physical appearance was starting to show. A fact that bothered Wu Xie, for some reason.
It was also the first thing that Xiaoge had noticed when he’d returned from the bronze door.
Wu Xie watched as Xiaoge stood there, feet from him as his dark eyes had moved over him. “You’ve grown older.” He’d finally said after a moment. An observation.
It had been so good to hear Xiaoge’s voice again, and Wu Xie could merely smile at his words. “We simply just haven’t seen each other for a long time.” Wu Xie had said, holding out a hand to Xiaoge. “I’ve come to bring you home.”

heads up 7 up
post the last seven sentences of your latest project (meta, fic, any other writing)
omgg i am finally getting to this!!!! @vishcount u always tag me in the best things thank uuuuu!!! i just adore reading all the snippets you send me?? like????? i literally CRIED reading That One Scene the other night and i hardly ever cry when reading!!!! u truly are a goddess and u Ruin me with all your dmbj thoughts ♡
because i am a CHEAT i am doing more than one project bc hello???? too many aus. also, doing ~7 or fewer sentences :)
★ first off I have the year-late HP birthday fic for my dear, dear @haru-tl. pls hit me for not having this finished yet. im an idiot and we all kno it. i tried really REALLLLLYY hard to find a snippet that wouldn't immediately give away the plot xD. i figure u deserve a piece of what i've been cruelly denying u haha:
"Severus only ever catches pieces of him: his laughter, warm and lingering. His hair, a frightful mess of dark curls. His hands, steady and rough, a lovely dark tan that’s as warm as his voice, as warm as a fresh cup of tea cradled between his palms. His eyes, a bottle green. A scar, pale and tangled upon his brow. It stretches its spindly fingers to caress his temple, kiss his cheek, to whisper along the length of his nose."
★ this is from the whispers of spirits, a dmbj fic centered around Li Cu & Liu Sang in Reboot wherein i just....go hog wild on all the stuff i was unsatisfied with, particularly the Princess Mute and Li Cu's spirit snake. this bit is kind of a flashback scene I'm not sure where to put yet:
“Mr. Jiao was predictably arrogant, predictably sleezy. He wielded English like someone might wear 24k gold: as if he thought it was the best way to boast wealth and privilege. He rattled off a price that would have made Liu Sang choke several years ago. It almost made him choke now. But he didn’t. Liu Sang was more professional than that, and he couldn’t afford to show any weakness here.”
★ i've been sitting on a half finished chapter of my ye zun indulgence fic, things we hunger for (guardian), for like 2 months now ( ; A ; ) i seriously need to get back to it bc it might be one of my fav things i’ve ever published???:
"Seeing Shen Wei now, moving about the kitchen like this is his own home, Ye Zun realizes it’s like hearing something slot into place, like a key in a lock. Or perhaps it’s like watching someone add a few strokes to a character, turning it into something new, yet familiar. It makes something in his mind settle and curl content, like: yes. Yes, this is how it’s supposed to be.
It’s a dangerous thought."
★ this is from a Wu Xie/Poly Reboot fic I've had bouncing around for several months now cause like- everyone one loves Wu Xie and he deserves all the love anyway :'):
"His father calls him greedy, but that’s okay because Wu Xie is. He’s greedy for affection and maybe he’s naïve, just like Pangzi says, for giving his heart away so easily. But when someone smiles at Wu Xie and means it?
Well.
That was how he fell so hard to Xiao Ge in the first place. He’d already been feeling a sense of mineminemine, but the second he could read the smile in Xiao Ge’s eyes he was gone. Dust. That was it for him. Here was his second heart, living and breathing and smiling right at him."
★ aaaaand finally we’ve got the star wars/dmbj au @jockvillagersonly and i have been screaming about to each other. omg i’m so Gone on this au. jockvillagersonly you’re such an enabler thank you ♡ also, i really couldn’t help but do more than 7 sentences.....:
“Wu Xie really hates how artful the fall of ink-dark hair is across the man’s brow. All pretty and perfect, like careful strokes of a brush. Like something right off the sinful side of the Holonet.
“Tianzhen!” Pangzi hisses, elbowing Wu Xie hard in the ribs. “What the kriff are you doing?! I thought you hated Force-users!”
Admiring the equally perfect curve of Zhang Qiling’s backside, Wu Xie jabs Pangzi back. Right in the gut. Ignoring how Pangzi chokes and splutters, Wu Xie doesn’t say that he thought he did, too. He doesn’t say that all changed when he toppled from the Hanava tree. When Zhang Qiling reached out like he could catch him, like he had any reason to catch him. And those long fingers crooked as if he was holding something precious, and Wu Xie—
Wu Xie felt something soft and warm envelope him whole as he stared into Zhang Qiling’s dark, dark eyes, and his body slowed until he was floating midair.
Wu Xie certainly doesn’t tell Pangzi he’s developed a startling new kink.
Pangzi might never recover.”
once again. sorry not sorry i did this differently. i’ve got too many things i’m working on at the moment haha. and omg vish thank u again for tagging me bc it’s so fun to share things i’m working on :’)
tagging @jockvillagersonly @lichelleme @undyingsunshine and @traineecryptid plus anyone else who wants to share their writing!!! 。゚✶ฺ.ヽ(*´∀`*)ノ.✶゚ฺ。
#tag game#finally finished this thing hahaha omg it was fun tho!!#so difficult to choose what i wanted to share!!!!!#my fic#cross talks

Zhang Qiling's Birthday Month Special Recs
Artist: 刘巴布
Happy birthday, Xiaoge! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*.✧🎉🎉
It's a little late, but November isn't over yet >.<
I feel like there is nothing much I can do to celebrate Xiaoge's birthday. So, I will just recommend several PingXie fanfictions in Zhang Qiling's perspective, using the first person or third person POV. Most of them are in canon setting. The stories are different despite in the same setting, you can give it a try (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)
There is also a short analysis/meta/discussion about Zhang Qiling's timeline that I found on Zhihu. Maybe just some thoughts to ponder, the overall DMBJ's timeline is confusing to begin with. Although it is relatively short, their analysis is pretty neat and the comments are interesting. It's mainly focused on Xiaoge before he met Wu Xie. On a side note, it was posted in 2020. Here is the link if you are interested:
