天色越來越暗，雲層低垂，林道之中霧氣彷彿有了生命，緩緩盤旋在洛塵腳邊。乾枝劃過他的肩膀，濕冷的風從樹縫間吹來，帶著似曾相識的氣息。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRqkEJmfME
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlJgqMTw5T
他腳步未停，腦海中卻不斷閃現出那枚戒指與古老圖騰的畫面。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI8vAsou98
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBiF2P1bVg
「那年……我還不懂什麼是命運，但那個祭司的眼神……像是看穿了一切。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADkMvGbiTi
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yplWdlQnY
他喃喃自語，彷彿那聲音能幫助自己理清思緒。就在此時，前方的霧稍稍散開，一道破敗的木牌出現在視線中。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpQco98Smh
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf2hIe0Qh5
【幽篁村】——三個字早已斑駁，木牌下方還殘留著一道刻痕，看似是某種保護結界的符號，但早已斷裂、失效。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSbnFoqIO0
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GZWuweejV
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIxOKPJhxN
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkpTmSshLO
與先前相同，這裡以化作焦土的戰場，破碎的屋簷、倒塌的石牆，地面隱約還可見血跡與戰鬥過的痕跡。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlgpHhEgSn
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdNF66kEpH
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKRRK8fmns
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNYVzkjhSY
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk1lqpwjQk
他緩緩走入村中心，腳步不自覺地朝一個方向前進——那裡是祠堂所在之處，也是他童年記憶最深刻的場所。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NqiOSNZX2
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CWQB7vQx5
說來奇怪，唯獨這座祠堂依然完好地矗立著，連一片瓦都未毀損，彷彿這裡被刻意留下。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU6GNkNecO
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVZs1g8IoB
洛塵眉頭緊鎖，帶著忐忑不安的心情走了過去，推開半掩的木門。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Kuf6VQr7
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntSblK1OuE
吱呀一聲。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRVNL8YkqW
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eFxHVFjFj
裡頭一如多年前那般幽靜，供桌、香爐、石柱全數如昔，只是蒙上一層厚厚的灰。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmziWIMiaC
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3BrD8ICw
然而，就在踏入門檻的瞬間，空氣忽然一變——冰冷、濃重，彷彿墜入了另一個時間層面。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV0SgXXn6I
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGXS99eQUv
「……你終於來了。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGwZ9b63mt
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqkrLBAkBW
一道低沉而空靈的聲音在他耳邊響起，無形中帶著一股不容置疑的威壓。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOF60LnQDB
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYqt68kdnq
洛塵猛然回頭，四周空無一人。手掌立刻聚起一道風刃，警戒地望向四方。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYxoE0Z3rI
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sHfUDKi8R
「別怕，我是……留下來的意志，或者說，是一道思念體。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV7qMc028k
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglNUV4eXqI
祠堂中央的祭壇上，忽然亮起一道淡金的光芒。一位身穿黑金長袍的老者虛影從石柱後浮現而出，他的身形如煙如霧，眼神空洞卻透著深邃的智慧。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoMgM2VuSi
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqUahSW9Mi
忽然——
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajpk6Gs7nW
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vNBG62vZf
洛塵神色一變，因為口袋中的那枚戒指竟自行震動起來，泛著劇烈的金光，刺眼得彷彿整個空間都在共鳴。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkaGf201Ut
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU4CNai8Qu
老者望著那道光芒，語氣平靜卻帶著無法忽視的莊重：
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp0BTZIhWw
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9lMfW7Uio
「你身上的那枚戒指，名為——時間之戒。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAt3e4JKBt
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWNfTxg0j4
洛塵心頭一震，低聲重複：「……時間之戒？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEsuNwz3mP
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJPq7uiRal
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2arasXOfVy
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnodr1RVQ9c
「它是我們幽篁一族守護千年的核心之物，亦是傳說中通往命運源點的唯一鑰匙。」老者緩緩走近祭壇，一指點向戒指閃爍的圖紋，「而它所蘊含的力量——是對時間與空間的干涉。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo2yvw9Dig
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RQOm1V8nB
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi9yZ37NIn
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BB0OfdJZ1
洛塵怔住，腦中一時難以消化。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac0hqQCZHz
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju0POLYZKb
老者繼續說道，聲音帶著滄桑的低吟：「千年來，我們的祖先不斷試圖喚醒這枚戒指。用儀式、咒語、甚至獻祭……但它始終沉寂不語，彷彿不屬於這世間。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjB38DRGMS
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuED0IGrHr6
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmld3H3LzUb
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMqsIUFRWM
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeT1PZLu0U
他停頓了一下，微微低首，像是在回憶過往。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP1TetnRw0
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriGypJGZAT
「後來，我們改變了方法，改由村中最強的戰士嘗試與戒指共鳴，想找出它選擇主人的準則……但無一例外，全都失敗。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMoidcAaPx
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo2xW3Jx7V
「所以你們選擇封印它？」洛塵問。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ZSBBZ4GF
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl0JWPnJwa
老者點頭：「是。我們放棄了強求，只留下最嚴密的結界與守護者世代相傳，等一個能讓它主動甦醒的『有緣人』。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOl0sV2hkA
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq6MTFNizJ
祠堂內氣氛凝重，金光在洛塵掌心躍動，如同心跳。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmWVWPaGYp
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT2rpA8vFk
老者的語氣忽然低沉下來：「直到某年——那枚戒指第一次主動發光。我們所有長老都驚動了。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN80dQoEPD
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F7Lqtxj3H
他緩緩轉身，目光落在祭壇左側的一面斑駁木門上。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hfSKaxjUa

「我們循著光源來到此處，只見一位外鄉男子，帶著一名年幼的孩子，跪在香案前虔誠祈願。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkajJ1qu2h
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupLqLmuDll
洛塵呼吸一滯，彷彿有什麼熟悉的記憶被喚醒。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJjamTepLB
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCaaTnuXgl
老者緩緩點頭：「那個男人，就是你的父親。而那個孩子……就是你。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHLNH71Ula
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9HQ3tFb6V
洛塵不自覺地後退半步，戒指的光芒此刻已不再刺眼，卻緊緊貼合他肌膚，彷彿與他血脈融合為一。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY7sqPzp6A
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQvNY3IaVP
「當時我們不敢聲張，只在暗處觀察，那一刻，我們知道了——你，就是那個人。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp6SuWVbsJ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1LlT7k8km
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEoaBwYXuV

「而如今，時間之戒的光芒再度出現——而且，是在你手上。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GknDPhhK4
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pcNuBw2HB
祠堂四周的空氣再次震動，戒指中心的符文旋轉得越來越快，像是在被一股更大的力量喚醒。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4plc5u8Jc
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdhBBixp9E
老者望向洛塵，聲音穩重：33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehdTgtGJU5
「你是選中之人——也是唯一，可以喚醒時間之戒、重構秩序的人。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO8rb1oWAH

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWqPw8Uza7
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvUroEjzE7

洛塵緊握拳頭，神情不再迷惘，而是凝聚出一種初生的清明與覺醒。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsPDSxPj5i
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhdT014JyT
「那麼……我該怎麼做？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jvgaCcldo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2YYhNYl5j
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa9UG8njLx
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzJvHqgaN2
老者望向他，露出一抹釋然的微笑：「說過去吧。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsycDZdCq1h
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvjCLVcTdN
「將戒指放上那座祭壇——只有被選中的人，才能喚醒它真正的力量。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegvb2AVcZR
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6exbjo34n
祠堂內一片寂靜，只餘下戒指散發的金光與符文流轉的低鳴。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6g47gfSBZ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZCvp14d1T
洛塵沒有再猶豫，他緩緩走向祭壇，腳步每踏出一步，彷彿都有無形的力量在空氣中回響。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjIcf5i55y
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcr8sz1SXV
他伸出右手，將那枚「時間之戒」輕輕放置在祭壇正中央的凹槽上。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xXHnofCx9
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CeXbx7LUP
瞬間——
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb1zCdidgP
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7keYX0EX8v
整個祭壇震動起來，一道道古老的光紋自地面蔓延而出，迅速擴展至整座祠堂，彷彿無形的結界重新啟動。天花板、石柱、壁畫上那些模糊不清的圖騰，竟開始一一發亮，綻放著金藍交錯的光彩。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmcQ4jOjnh
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN1Zm7NbMs
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnuZot0H9A
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb9lDJ4H6r
戒指浮起，懸空旋轉，符文如星河般洶湧流動。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zdzQS5Rlw
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AnfP9rGKC
老者站於光影之中，聲音穿透能量洪流，平穩又堅定：
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7xNZMOqzP
「從這一刻起，你將是這枚戒指的主人，這枚戒指不只是鑰匙，也是試煉。它不會輕易將力量交付予人，但若你能承受它的洗禮，你將——成為新秩序的起點。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdoK0vjQed
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaitHJrijC
洛塵仰望那在空中旋轉的戒指，深吸一口氣。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJldGXZEh0m
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50GBghB5iM
「來吧……我準備好了。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMKabrZEC4
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdXBPGpKSh
金光爆閃，天地瞬間寂靜——
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFFEEdFt6m
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkRMMA99Zh
如同整個宇宙在這一秒，屏息以待。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjuAMLGcPv

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UiMCyg8qw
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3allz9sif

隨著一道白光湧現，眼前的一切彷彿瞬間被撕裂、重構。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIi4xvDvtE
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh3UC3vXaF
洛塵只覺得天旋地轉，下一秒——
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXCg4wotY3
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxmndKcQuX
他已置身於一片廣闊無邊的草原之上。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP9h6z0ZM2
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvhiI6w5iK
陽光明亮溫暖，風吹動草浪，波光粼粼宛如翠綠海洋。四周寂靜無聲，空氣中卻充滿一種說不出的安寧與熟悉。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbptFhC7wa
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYGfBcKgeC
「這是……哪裡？」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0WgdWkTzH
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUCmVGoHsZ
他低聲自語，剛踏出一步，就看見前方，一棵巨大的參天古樹矗立在草原中心。那是他從未見過的樹種，樹皮斑駁如時光的刻痕，枝葉如雲層般蔓延，幾乎覆蓋整片天空。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF2e9W33pZ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZM1tpR2vT
而在那樹下，站著一個人影。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOTIaWFjaG
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMf82kaVSI
洛塵瞇起眼，緩緩走近——
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaBBAyWXny
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1NUyCXivx
是一位佝僂卻精神矍鑠的老爺爺，背對著他，正仰望著樹冠高處，彷彿在傾聽某種聲音。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IYLv8ZbAs
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHPsBucM1k
「你是……？」洛塵試探地問。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0F5errrUl
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuwCknUZMG
那老爺爺聞聲轉過身來，臉上帶著一抹恬淡的微笑，眼神深邃、溫和，彷彿一眼就能看穿洛塵的過去與未來。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO4nMsjBKN
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCoeEiNyJr
「我們，終於見面了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oNDmVcQzP
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpwplZFBGq
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycxmOnzflW
他的聲音不大，卻清晰地在整片空曠草原中迴盪。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfyiAO2sQu
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4EY2AU1R6
洛塵微皺眉，還未開口，對方便緩緩轉身，露出蒼老卻溫和的容顏。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvFDC8Dkpe
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8umNl8NsBG
老者微笑道：「老夫，是這枚戒指的本體。」
