齊雨已記不清自己「活過」幾回人生,凡人生平他已瀏覽十數萬回,不,指不定是數十萬,為了焚除雜念以淨化魂魄,他總是刻意專注在刺人的情緒上,悲苦怨嘆、執迷狂妄等等。88Please respect copyright.PENANAiDVrXeumA8

施展「萬法清平」時,時光流逝的速度有三重,其一,是「萬法清平」以外的世界,離綰所在之處,亦即現世。88Please respect copyright.PENANASo4oq64ttn
88Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xyp103UCW
其二,是齊雨所在的時空,此處時間流動比之現世較為迅速,乃是父神發明「萬法清平」時刻意為之,如此於現世而言,極短的時間內便能洗凈許多魂魄,進而大幅減少可能伴隨的影響。88Please respect copyright.PENANAkrtC5DthD4
88Please respect copyright.PENANAu8FU7rsZCp
其三則是流動又更為迅速的,凡人魂魄所屬的時空,如今它們化作一條條黑線,在齊雨手裡極速流轉,迅速展示一生供他檢視,而後便被加以滌淨。88Please respect copyright.PENANAZSFZjJpgVd
88Please respect copyright.PENANANjm1KIV03R
起初,齊雨尚能稍許共情這些悲苦,並暗暗抱以憐憫,祈願他們來世少受磨難,為此他還得不斷提醒自己莫要過於沉淪。88Please respect copyright.PENANAlkCLN2UBjC
88Please respect copyright.PENANAHl3Mpf9QqF
但是歷經數萬條黑線「洗禮」以後,他已感到麻木,凡人魂魄所經受的苦楚翻來覆去便是那幾樣,在齊雨眼中,他們好似一群教不聽的孩子,一次又一次選擇踏上必將遭逢不幸的路途,使自己墮入深淵,撕心裂肺,以至於損傷脆弱不堪的心神與魂魄。88Please respect copyright.PENANAljrSKsQksB
88Please respect copyright.PENANAzK9OBs1WJv
父神曾對齊雨言說,凡人是善變且難以捉摸的生靈,會是那將八荒點綴的更為燦爛的存在,可是眼下,齊雨只感覺他們是一群撲火飛蛾,而他必須一次次自業火中撈起已燒得遍體鱗傷的生命,撲滅他們,治癒他們,無止無盡地重複。88Please respect copyright.PENANA4fLXuutgBN
88Please respect copyright.PENANAfELyxcK2Zp
在這鋪天蓋地的悲苦共感,以及乏味工作裡邊,唯有一樣事物能稍稍帶來溫暖,那便是繫在小指上的紅線,齊雨與現世的聯繫。88Please respect copyright.PENANAxFdMp8thlX
88Please respect copyright.PENANATsyR9eI87j
每當齊雨感覺神思疲乏,幾乎支撐不住時,紅線便會恰如其時地亮光,隨之響起一陣悅耳的女聲,那嗓音徑直在他腦中發聲,無論他身在「何方」,身在哪個魂魄的生平中。88Please respect copyright.PENANAPOjjPueLbN
88Please respect copyright.PENANAKPdf5RM0i3
這聲音聽上去有些朦朧飄渺,若按凡人說法,如此回聲陣陣的話語,應當出自不落紅塵的仙者,可這天籟之音偏生總嘮叨著不能更平凡的瑣事,諸如起床找了半時辰就是找不著一支鞋、夜宵吃的銀耳蓮子羹蓮子大過銅鈴、今日發現三位偷偷打盹兒的冥差等等。88Please respect copyright.PENANAVwttave4CR
88Please respect copyright.PENANA45PssL1MBM
這便是離綰的絮絮叨叨,即便曲折的時序為她的聲音覆上一層悠遠,其中的直率、歡欣,以及一點兒傻氣齊雨卻是再熟悉不過,也正是這般無厘頭的碎言碎語,緊緊將他錨定至現世。88Please respect copyright.PENANALiz6tRRs6B
88Please respect copyright.PENANAfeFlygzLST
齊雨不清楚現世過去了多久,於他而言,洗滌魂魄一事彷彿已過去許多年,離綰每隔一陣子響起的嗓音成了他百無聊賴中唯一的期盼。88Please respect copyright.PENANAyPWFN7FdxK
88Please respect copyright.PENANAlLMcn499qS
但近來,他察覺離綰的話語似乎到得越來越遲,也越發朦朧,部分字句含糊的難以聽清,齊雨曉得此為「歸源」正逐漸完備的跡象,待到術法大成,他便不再擁有七情,亦不會再對一切紅塵俗世有所反應。88Please respect copyright.PENANARiVxpLL70I
88Please respect copyright.PENANAmZcsDU3wVj
時間彷彿與他有仇似的,先是無盡壽數,如今又是不敷使用。88Please respect copyright.PENANAr2jd45RsyK

「先生,先生我來啦。」88Please respect copyright.PENANAQsyThXwH7Y
88Please respect copyright.PENANASziQVWiEys
齊雨小指上的紅絲淺淺亮起,他頓時感到胸口一鬆,距離上一回好似已過去許久。88Please respect copyright.PENANAMhZqBPJiqg
88Please respect copyright.PENANAsP0H2CjSSX
離綰一面坐到地上,一面呼出一口大氣,咕噥著:「哎!我的屁股……」隨後便是一陣不明所以的沉默。88Please respect copyright.PENANAegCyBGIl3o
88Please respect copyright.PENANA2McjHlLjWa
齊雨頭頂蓄滿問號時,才又聽她細聲細氣道:「先生,我這會兒悄悄告訴你啊,此事可不能讓哥哥知曉。我今日呢,去會那諸懷氏族,他們一見著我便現出真身,身形如牛,四角、人目、彘耳,我瞧他們生得暴戾,卻有一對小巧可愛的豬耳朵,一時沒忍住便笑了聲,誰知他們臉皮薄如蟬翼,竟為此大發雷霆,發起狠來不管不顧。」88Please respect copyright.PENANAZy6OOBncLM
88Please respect copyright.PENANAfWFxouVXxs
離綰又沉默了一會兒,才道:「我,那什麼,笑得有點兒開,沒察覺身後來了人,屁股被紮紮實實撞了一頭,幸而那兩對巨角沒叫我見血,可就是,就是,挺疼的,嘶……也不知腫沒腫起……」88Please respect copyright.PENANAM6co8u8K35
88Please respect copyright.PENANATQKPYhzmW2
齊雨聽著聽著,手中將要褪去墨色的絲線忽地一顫,黑氣重新爬上,他忙集中精神將之焚除,方才鬆開銀絲。88Please respect copyright.PENANAYV0tiB1pO3
88Please respect copyright.PENANAr1a6BnqdSO
他心裡莞爾,知道離綰輕描淡寫地說是「笑了聲」,怕是遠不止如此,這得笑得多開懷,才能連三百來斤的諸懷摸到身後了都未能察覺,思及此不禁也生出一絲擔心,被那碩大的腦袋這麼一撞,即便沒見血,也難說傷得重不重,可小姑娘聽上去還是頗有活力,他只得安慰自己想來應當無甚大礙。88Please respect copyright.PENANAfNKU4brRLG
88Please respect copyright.PENANAMLjjEhRGJ9
「哪兒腫沒腫起?」88Please respect copyright.PENANAm7arUN1Xqc
88Please respect copyright.PENANA9y1I7eZVwb
離綰偷偷摸摸扭著脖子檢查屁股時,身後冷不丁傳來親哥哥的聲音,嚇得她一僵。88Please respect copyright.PENANAEQXQA16u4H
88Please respect copyright.PENANAM8GNZcy5mz
「我,我是說中……塚……眾……不是,哥哥你聽錯啦!」離綰嘿嘿一笑,若無其事地轉回身,「我同先生再說說話,一會兒便回去。」88Please respect copyright.PENANAwM7RdJCEuS
88Please respect copyright.PENANAG2aXtFXbOo
離芳對妹妹擠半天擠不出個胡謅,所幸當沒說過的心虛模樣不置可否,只是默默盯著她瞧,瞧得離綰心裡發寒,視線左右飄忽,就是不看哥哥。88Please respect copyright.PENANA1K5ZbzfQTw
88Please respect copyright.PENANABnpQ8akYBv
齊雨身在「萬法清平」中,只能聞聲不能視物,且只能聽見離綰話語,此時聽她又是沉默,卻尚未如往常一般與他道別,無須思考也能猜出「不願讓知曉」的那位想必是已然通通知曉,齊雨幾乎能看見離綰心虛的臉。88Please respect copyright.PENANAiJL8soKIod
88Please respect copyright.PENANAz3VhGxWgUM
許久沒看見的臉。88Please respect copyright.PENANA6U3VU5RiS1
88Please respect copyright.PENANAoJJpIccgha
離綰沉默時又有數條洗淨的銀絲產生,齊雨耐著性子熬那不對等的時序,等待離綰再次開口。88Please respect copyright.PENANAUqXbVD2nv5
88Please respect copyright.PENANAzBhhcK3lm8
驀地,他感覺小指一痛,刺痛來得輕且快,彷彿縫補衣物時不慎被扎了一針,這針卻扎得他心頭大慌,忙低頭去檢查小指,繫了紅線的那隻指頭。88Please respect copyright.PENANA22nbIEwh2W
88Please respect copyright.PENANA1RCa9CooYR
只見纖纖紅線上不知何時隱隱泛起銀光,如同此前千萬條自他手中溜出的銀絲,那些已被洗去七情六欲的魂魄。88Please respect copyright.PENANAF147mIrPwd
88Please respect copyright.PENANALC135WAGh8
銀光底下赤紅仍舊清楚可見,可覆蓋其上的光澤同樣清晰、刺目,昭示著並非齊雨眼花,他抬頭看了看眼前依舊堆積如山、等待洗滌的黑線,慌亂不可遏止地爬上胸口。88Please respect copyright.PENANAMoAI5DKI1z
88Please respect copyright.PENANAQqVAI2K3mS
太快了。88Please respect copyright.PENANApHZwrA3FK6
88Please respect copyright.PENANAUVZ63xQToN
歸源已近尾聲,迫在眉睫,時間當真不願善待他。88Please respect copyright.PENANAUPuoVATEWL

「錚錚……」88Please respect copyright.PENANABd4jN65q4e
88Please respect copyright.PENANAChCRGnTGEY
離綰正拚命在哥哥眼皮底下,把受了傷的屁股藏起,猛然聽見數月來日思夜想的嗓音,登時愣在原地。
