白塵一言不發的趕路，並沒有像平常一樣轉過頭罵人。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLh2Ht9A7f
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycRbjfslIM
「你跟洛冉前輩……發生了什麼嗎？」江以瀲試探著問道，他看著白塵的背影明顯的頓了一下。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVM8AZcEMj
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmts1PfFHBv
那日言雙追著面色沉重的洛冉離開後沒多久，江以瀲就聽說洛冉派人下山尋找白塵未果，而言雙自告奮勇，洛冉便派了幾個弟子護著言雙一塊下山。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AZXC6NCBP
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFh7c5YY1B
隨著外面的騷動逐漸平息，江以瀲偷溜出門，來到紫凝殿。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliUGxf6wUy
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNZex6gXdp
洛冉看著站在自己面前的江以瀲。他就這麼推門而入，神態自若，像是踏入自己熟悉不過的所在。那份自在與從容，讓洛冉不禁想起那位故人。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTBe8eIO4Z
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV3iqfnEbz
他最近總是不斷想起過去的事。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBu4zdWP8U
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCeLWddZR9
那人當年也是如此——想來就來、想走就走。那時的韶華派尚未封山，弟子們仍可自由下山行醫、拜訪鎮民，甚至逛逛市集，都是稀鬆平常的事。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rkvl1HY5X
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakyAF1pfLd
直到那件事發生，一切都變了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem8Pk2Y4zP
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31gKSPH9rD
人人都害怕步上離魂派的後塵，沒有人願意當出頭鳥。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBxmKGV7NC
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO7K7E0llE
他曾想過要去。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsgEUUbsew
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SzSQXVumP
無奈韶華派和離魂的距離實在太過遙遠，而他這個做掌門的，要是真的踏出那步，身後那些弟子們又該怎麼辦？51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11pWbYP4RB
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4H0VDNza6
他早已不是可以任性妄為的年紀了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29F8WsnrLf
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhjOnhGrSg
「實不相瞞，晚輩乃是無常劍仙的徒弟。晚輩年幼時曾聽聞師父說過當年的事。」江以瀲的聲音把洛冉從回憶中拉出。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPWM7wYQxz
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY72wuc90s
——確實和他師父一個樣。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCQvcV36LZ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqFeK6Dmhv
神情像、語氣也像，還有那股淡淡的、事不關己。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFjgeeynus
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ASBPrVrp0
洛冉心想。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanlkqeDecs
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscSpiT74qA
見他沉默不語，江以瀲便自顧自地說下去：「不過師父每次說起那件事，總是說得不明不白的，晚輩也不大清楚。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxLh7d5hcb
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzQRSJKShF
他頓了頓，眼神望向窗外，像是在回憶，又像在斟酌用詞。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSQaZZ4qlc
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM8e152JD3
「只知道每當他喝醉酒，就會看著白凡前輩留下的那把劍，自言自語地說著抱歉，是他去晚了。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm6NO54a37
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5RmilDNuM
語畢，江以瀲收回視線，眼神堅定地落回洛冉身上：「前輩，您或許因為心中有愧，才急著想找回白塵。可前輩，您不能這麼殘忍。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dPbh9jAmv
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhVE8MNCuO
「殘忍？」洛冉抬眉，嗓音不自覺染上怒氣。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaE4gD5lYu
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq8r1ErhFJ
他搞不懂顧天漪的徒弟到底想幹嘛。就像當年，他也總搞不懂顧天漪在想什麼。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzVTikz9HC
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlayAajmEuJ
「是的，殘忍。」江以瀲卻彷彿沒注意到他的憤怒似的，不急不緩地繼續說著：「前輩您選擇尋回白塵，是為了告訴他當年發生的事，對吧？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WlQPU7CNt
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr736MDxED
洛冉別開眼，看向地面：「本座認為，他有知道事實的權利。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKpwAsiaRS
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFwL14CWVw
他本以為這樣就能結束話題，卻聽見江以瀲再度開口：「權利？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx27IaCxwx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFJXyqld14
語氣雖平淡，但他的腳步卻強硬地闖入洛冉的視線，像是在逼迫他看向自己：「恕我直言，前輩。您說出口是為了讓他知道事實，還是為了讓您心中的愧疚有處可去？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdbnyGrZCd
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9R64H67g7
「我聽不懂你在說什麼。」洛冉有些不耐的抬起頭，掃了他一眼，又倉促地撇開視線。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUqQ8pEspQ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQLqK0wqk8
好像再多看一眼，就會被看透。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QJF7jWmbU
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWmoY7gFIw
「就讓白塵以為一切只是來不及，對前輩您也沒有壞處不是嗎？」視線內的腳步移開，洛冉抬起頭，看向江以瀲。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe0R8z2CRY
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGPaoAa9SO
他的眼神不像方才那般逼人，而是像真的在詢問自己的意見。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0THq3nP8lW
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2wSD2dxop
是沒有壞處，但……51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKqaeHBGve
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDZggktpIt
洛冉沒有回應，只是望著他。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffoWjScSvR
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KjGKlK1Wu
「您說出過去的真相，不過就是希望當初您沒有出手救白凡前輩這件事能有個人來指責您。」江以瀲眉頭輕蹙，看上去十分悲傷：「可前輩，我師父也未曾怪罪過你……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqehStn5eVQ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfWjZxt4OH
「你根本不懂……」洛冉低聲說著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXHkQpM1TY
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwde7L7Di3
「白塵好不容易放下對過去的恨，但當前輩您說出真相後，這一切對他來說就不是來不及，而是您的選擇，是這整個江湖對離魂派的袖手旁觀。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4ie1Vhe6E
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyElGe3owr5
不知何時，江以瀲已經走到他眼前。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPTqBRtziD
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1WT3sfopq
洛冉抬起頭，看著江以瀲。對方輕聲說著：「前輩，您不能為了要贖自己的罪，就把白塵扔向另一個火坑。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAl8TkGJ3s
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CmCverk7i
「你懂什麼！」洛冉站起身，猛地抓住江以瀲的雙肩，喝斥道：「秘術、韶華派的秘術根本……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec4ZjVZWvu
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU1itFv49t
白塵沉默了許久，忽然開口，打斷了江以瀲的思緒。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ45wmElxa
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFertEd4zHr
「洛冉前輩……他說，當年我爹尚存一口氣，被你師父背上山求助，可他卻沒有救他。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu0sbEtcwr
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlbjlFLcpT
果然，他還是沒把自己說的放在心上，把當年之事都告訴了白塵。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhuqFfD84Y
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppsKILrCow
江以瀲心裡一沉，隨即問道：「他還說了什麼？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHtX6KcJRw
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYsuRUwnAw
「他說他不能救。」白塵握緊拳頭，又緩緩鬆開。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJs0FGxFa7
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0SVrZuHNR
「就這樣？沒有多說什麼了嗎？」江以瀲皺著眉追問。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7oJ1ya8KL
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKJmaOfg8t
白塵瞪了對方一眼，他搞不懂對方為什麼要在此時糾結這件事。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASqGCwXVpD
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rHAph4vE9
沒注意到白塵的視線，江以瀲低聲說著，像是在自言自語：「他是說他不能，而不是不想。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89mbAR4aRy
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsfsGaKPgo
白塵一怔，腳步也停了下來。他詫異的回頭望向江以瀲，而後者彷彿沒意識到自己說了什麼，只是疑惑的看著自己。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5owzHNz0Ue
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwRqXscNEN
「有什麼區別嗎？」白塵忍不住語氣裡的憤怒：「他與我爹、你師父二人交好！當年一個僅存一口氣、另一個毫無尊嚴的請求，但他卻選擇袖手旁觀！」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbDfFsb6xB
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4hdXul8pR
「可他也沒有非救不可的理由吧？」江以瀲反問。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNtPO8zi4y
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee5o67Qm4p
語氣平靜到像是在說著別人的事。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQgXzRwUBN
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bbw8yz9ew
白塵不由自主後退了一步，又一次感覺這個相伴多年的友人，有些陌生。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJyPh3TMJW
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgb455WAZO
江以瀲接著問道：「如果秘術根本不存在呢？若他出手救了白凡前輩，整個韶華派都……會受牽連呢？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiENFgJjwo
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISadGJFJnP
「……」白塵臉色驟白。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmDnMk96fl
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV9IxnyBqo
江以瀲的語氣沒有起伏。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKMewQBe1b
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gMGD3TxtH
他只感覺自己平日裡維持的鎮定從容被對方劃開，他甚至有種想逃離的衝動。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT28pBxgO3
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecaO90Va9N
冷漠、太過冷漠了。就像是平日裡那些被他忽視的淚在頃刻間潰堤，只剩下一具空殼。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRmNV9juMO
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj59tJ90N5l
他不是第一次看見江以瀲的悲傷，只是對方總會把那份悲傷藏起來、包裹好、再輕描淡寫地推開。但現在在他面前的人，就好像放棄所有希望似的，放任那些無力感蔓延，直至自己心中空無一物。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UJaIKr7B3
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qACWBN9eZ
注意到白塵神色劇變，江以瀲連忙說道：「我不是那個意思。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrQczOx3uE
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2AHwv0opX
「雖然這些話不中聽，但，你冷靜下來想想，縱然韶華派救濟世人，但前輩沒有偉大到要以全門派的安危去救活白凡前輩吧？何況當時……或許已無力回天，他何必冒這個險？」他看向白塵，聲音低低地落下：「沒有人有義務拯救所有人，就算是你，白塵。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5CmaWTZzV
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChuW3L3Vvo
他又何嘗不知道爹爹的死不該怪罪於他，只是聽見洛冉說的那些，又一次把他扔回當年、扔回那個無力的夜晚。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF9MYoOOKz
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycn6YRmPVM
他看著江以瀲。不知為何，對方眉眼間常有的那股悲傷突然像暴漲的潮水，把他整個人吞沒。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFbSfRiGY8
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilFw0TTMUT
白塵緊咬下唇，眼底浮現一瞬的動搖。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO6UZXoKrl
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs48bGUhw7G
他一言不發，只是抓過了江以瀲的手腕，繼續趕路。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8V8Vcig17
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH7fEypNnc
回到沂都時，江以瀲突然掙脫白塵的手，語氣輕鬆地說著：「老白，我發現我有個東西掉路上了，你先去客棧等我，我晚點去找你。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Fr87lutd
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcX0No6h8b
白塵只當他是為了要化解二人間的尷尬，便問道：「……掉了什麼？要一起回頭找嗎？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ41fGkX9m
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi7ULMIFHo
「不用不用，我去去就回。」江以瀲只是拍了拍他的肩頭，便頭也不回的往城門走去。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sZof4LLDU
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgPMuDTCvE
看著他的背影，白塵深深地嘆了口氣。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OEAr5jvAg
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk2fZcA7US
心中的無力感不減反增。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh9LyBtqbd
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXdE8OBkab
「以瀲，你是怎麼發現我的呀……？」城門外，言雙看著來人，小聲問道。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe47XddsLJp
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffXWySB6Iz
江以瀲露出無奈的笑容，說道：「以你那拙劣……我是說，生疏的技巧，不發現很難啊。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9o5EBITko
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaolazzjhL
自離開韶華派以後，他就感覺到身後有股氣息跟著他們二人，但那氣息過於不穩，不像是傀儡，他便放任對方一路跟到此地。一方面是確認沒有危險、另一方面是人都跟到這了，白塵再怎麼反對也不能把人趕回去。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LYJghGCk6
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUmt79tL56
江以瀲忍不住在心中為了自己的聰明才智鼓掌。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTWrsHj9jr
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31g4tRkXqq
「那、那白公子也發現了嗎？」言雙怯生生地問著，探頭張望著江以瀲身後，想尋找那道白色身影。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRjgBfNBLk
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2RC7ZnDVl
「不，他……顧不上別的。」江以瀲含糊的帶過了白塵的部分，轉移了話題：「說吧，你怎麼跟來了？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK13ikOrlrm
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSBSW9qdqB
「我……自竹林那日後想了很久。」言雙低著頭，雙手交握：「我知道若只是一直被保護著，遇上危險時是會拖累旁人的。所以我和師父說，想離開韶華，下山歷練。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA37kM6E9N2
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCHQnWKiC5
「你……洛冉前輩怎麼說？」江以瀲試探的問著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFjLtE3JiI
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Iln6TojX4
「師父？師父這次沒有攔著我，只是要我凡事多加小心。」言雙抬頭看向他，話鋒一轉：「只是師父看上去好像很疲憊的樣子……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLg7ZMCEdj
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoWTxHSB11
江以瀲輕嘆一聲。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Gg7QMGsL
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbUtaXKn4r
言雙不明所以，只是害怕這是在趕他走，便急忙說道：「白公子來帶走你之前，你不是教了我無常劍法嗎？至少、至少讓我學完再趕我走……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lvEXWLfEj
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWoRkzkK6e
聽見言雙這樣說，江以瀲腦中浮現了稍早的情景——51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTRgAIpbcQ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eseUIOoBK
言雙把白塵帶回山上後，就被洛冉支開，於是他便回到江以瀲休養的廂房內。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhl6yyFcD7
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSmQv29jQ3
江以瀲一邊和言雙說著那日白塵的舉動是出於關心，只是關心則亂，一邊百無聊賴的玩著自己的配劍。言雙鼓起勇氣跟江以瀲說了自己這些日子以來，他練習了上次在客棧時江以瀲扔筷子的功夫，並活用到他們韶華派的針法中。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu64aOHME3
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqukClmDfh
江以瀲有些恍神，忽然像是想起什麼似的問：「那……你想不想學無常劍法？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAug9RnTyvx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgU0pyiW5t
「什、什麼？」言雙驚訝地反問：「可顧前輩不是不再收弟子了嗎？況且我也……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctGAXHc099
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Te1c6m2I
江以瀲只是無所謂的笑笑，隨即就開始教起言雙無常劍法的口訣。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcmak3nHpA
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4OQUzKPOh
但才教到一半，白塵就沉著臉闖進來。言雙本想和對方打聲招呼，但白塵卻像是沒看見他似的，一把抓過江以瀲的手腕，逕直帶人離開。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw6jEmN0Vi
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJO3HhQgck
「江湖可是比你想像的還危險喔。」江以瀲看著面前的言雙，壓低聲音說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v6WZd5pHE
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQB958kX4J
言雙果然一臉緊張的說著：「我不會拖累你們的！我保證，拜託讓我跟著你們吧。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ug0tMRyLK
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts55EBf3hy
聞言，江以瀲失笑，伸手拍了拍他的頭：「人多也熱鬧些。走吧，我們去跟白塵會合。」
