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。

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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxoC4bEBtC
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjaI1fbXpl
「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。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLee8FkOILi
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj44GgalZ8
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl0jC0mgfP
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuWCy1KDJM
【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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK83Ntorex3

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz5H0Avjrn
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r2QDxHQ4c
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj2xZM6Rap

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNLw4xwqvM
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93k0z8jvwU
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2kNd9cGcE
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQQbuTR3jH
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVl6XfY1Xs
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaLiJ3LiIV
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN3IJuH5i3
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqJ5dtC4WW
吱呀一聲。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSkptIdsa3
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC0z8qGWpW
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgtAKG11jC
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ2kO1rXpc
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALSM43ywB4
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20UpZXMgok
「……你終於來了。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fu8tfdkIU
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW8JMRQy33
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmESMr8q9aR
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLTynIoHXz
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWGWyokpXB
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgozmKGjat
「別怕，我是……留下來的意志，或者說，是一道思念體。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsbcZfbKse
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPRB35KAOL
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MWlvqSypY
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRZMq0Oizj
忽然——
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnozzFgLYz
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpR8vpDc48
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdqRZ4ecwn
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzQCCABMB7
老者望著那道光芒，語氣平靜卻帶著無法忽視的莊重：
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGgL7fCVDU
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOF8GyCvI1
「你身上的那枚戒指，名為——時間之戒。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9PYxhD0bM
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ145UvmopIc
洛塵心頭一震，低聲重複：「……時間之戒？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSlfbM8FxO
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVIMNuyOQ9
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN2CnY8YAe
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5p4HBzkkX
「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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZHtXI3zgb
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvefPALCv2
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLMpWI7KYy
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4XRR8czBS
洛塵怔住，腦中一時難以消化。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1lGE2cwzU
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OWQygsuPc
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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMbj9Phild

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPUQePKTVc
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjypBV1ixo
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESnaG9BWI4
他停頓了一下，微微低首，像是在回憶過往。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxA1zBw8LY
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUdWt4dsvo
「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。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJethzuVl3
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyd9IM6Hjx
「所以你們選擇封印它？」洛塵問。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5ETcsR1jO
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzKr060bUf
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』。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZyvkZDaaf
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYGgMLbs9M
祠堂內氣氛凝重，金光在洛塵掌心躍動，如同心跳。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PqCU9NzVw
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmxe6CpKQP
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。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQwh404cgO
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOH27jff5s
他緩緩轉身，目光落在祭壇左側的一面斑駁木門上。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzu8BioK6c

「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。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCuDg2gkqh
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEkfWNWTJT
洛塵呼吸一滯，彷彿有什麼熟悉的記憶被喚醒。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyhujYuPll
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzWYSn3x5X
老者緩緩點頭：「那個男人，就是你的父親。而那個孩子……就是你。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZVwepsegX
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo79y4cJWuI
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gRyLObgGK
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjFApq8KBI
「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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Vn71HsVR

「而如今，時間之戒的光芒再度出現——而且，是在你手上。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0hAYWiEhF
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCusWvbEZA
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgUCsk2pRC
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPsHav2AcV
老者望向洛塵，聲音穩重：34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcWz405QHQ
「你是選中之人——也是唯一，可以喚醒時間之戒、重構秩序的人。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz35iAuABJN

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFzVQIyeny
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypqphsR20o

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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKvV3kutE8
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUPcV0bCYu
「那麼……我該怎麼做？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcAwWALfSq
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCmrX6E6dz
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSYsbTAM5P
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7YO36H7Mt
老者望向他，露出一抹釋然的微笑：「說過去吧。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzRlXrSijT
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKY5351nlN
「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。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQiIwgqGNZ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZukUXlZBY4
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFwjJoity2
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE83L18ytFr
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEedejAxR2
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBheOF61y4T
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDcBSbJtR5
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntzKni4YHO
瞬間——
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCodz5Lik9
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgUCynfHZy
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cYqmDC8UH
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBDLh0Qnt4
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElkURhPsDj
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fWDuSBwms
戒指浮起，懸空旋轉，符文如星河般洶湧流動。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mpqfWh96q
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkidabGat6R
老者站於光影之中，聲音穿透能量洪流，平穩又堅定：
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIxQxO9mxi
「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。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeapKMH1tpe
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnUkXxPtcA
洛塵仰望那在空中旋轉的戒指，深吸一口氣。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5YAzGtq7h
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7e64BbLgQ
「來吧……我準備好了。」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxluIaJ7zIq
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn5QxLGAjO
金光爆閃，天地瞬間寂靜——
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW5Abygkwm
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEmeRdBFPc
如同整個宇宙在這一秒，屏息以待。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ziTn91oua

隨著一道白光湧現，眼前的一切彷彿瞬間被撕裂、重構。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ei02efbC
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ECHfvCGCf
洛塵只覺得天旋地轉，下一秒——
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP5OxM5WsA
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvznG51ogj
他已置身於一片廣闊無邊的草原之上。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2AXytoRwO
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEWimjQzLm
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHKE5Q6jdK
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUc4zQeHRN
「這是……哪裡？」
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxzL4FOnVl
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDcCqYLj1B
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ieD4wURo1
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JtQOoSnd0
而在那樹下，站著一個人影。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaViU33Kmx
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy03f3LXaVj
洛塵瞇起眼，緩緩走近——
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAnv8Ntr6t
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVQYXH2jKS
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRmK6raZhJ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkywqecEp4O
「你是……？」洛塵試探地問。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyJTEVcho3
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6DdvMIKNx
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLxFmhNXp8
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRJoLzwOmj
「我們，終於見面了。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67xMiX0vps
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpghR1ACMYZ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofHaBuPAiH
他的聲音不大，卻清晰地在整片空曠草原中迴盪。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UmC6cBzP1
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM7i2rA1Xz
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。
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi8ohq1nyW
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8thO9Q9Sj
老者微笑道：「老夫，是這枚戒指的本體。」
