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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoBwNDuFdM
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM4HKEeuil
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3J1Ek38bg
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwMEeAF7gM
「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。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs83JDWLoMw
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAYXjym52w
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGv2tgLwcF
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu0H71ltTS
【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。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC46V6F9fCe
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OxtTis6Ey
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3KVlQPYT7
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv9pvd2GhM
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。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUVCmnOHM7
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORemXYGfJa
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKvFcjyzkM
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51mD03zHXR
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O9GHSAWQg
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhgMn9mg2c
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RCig8Mc79
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIBuBm3Ok8
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gafA7ew7W
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34YiIbueoG
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcBkBsBoXe
吱呀一聲。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3p1jOxFxB
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiJPUhgUIH
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qWBCs90Q5
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaPimdLFMt
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FwcqUSAJC
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE8vATIykw
「……你終於來了。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypSBBfsagI
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF7vSO2jFN
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYylwTeNiLu
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMKr0Nyug2
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUctGOA5Dsx
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4trNBn90L
「別怕，我是……留下來的意志，或者說，是一道思念體。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI3J2fdjF2
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshk9b9eBRL
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURXhDUgwHU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RjLni7axM
忽然——
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6BzMSo7qd
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfkiSPPIph
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvCPHg7Byk
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4v4mgPk8F
老者望著那道光芒，語氣平靜卻帶著無法忽視的莊重：
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3MEhU5ZI3
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ92JUCBacK
「你身上的那枚戒指，名為——時間之戒。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYygYozIIHd
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwn2aAglLN
洛塵心頭一震，低聲重複：「……時間之戒？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tKHLlcIIG
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCejNOwyySv
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0V2SNksKE
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0HB3hvK2j
「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。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9gBlNtdqS
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1eDUpHgA8
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTxUyaVXpp
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5lszEzWlN
洛塵怔住，腦中一時難以消化。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFFwpRVwZD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxvLpG4bWf
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。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGaMu7uzso
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs8P8aYB5Y
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGKFh1YukL
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnyTLl5QoA
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7SZuPdmTd
他停頓了一下，微微低首，像是在回憶過往。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ55Rwwyi8x
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL5nev3txs
「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。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MrpjyTz5L
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFD7XhFoRA
「所以你們選擇封印它？」洛塵問。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9AJdgWqEk
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53gUzxsTgm
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』。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1KUS4DPtK
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTjGCJxp66
祠堂內氣氛凝重，金光在洛塵掌心躍動，如同心跳。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNJlPb9XzE
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiMcd5SIqt
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。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIw864lJRT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifcqoBOvnG
他緩緩轉身，目光落在祭壇左側的一面斑駁木門上。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHRyaLvIu5

「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。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcic0bkRIJt
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10i8DRDSz1
洛塵呼吸一滯，彷彿有什麼熟悉的記憶被喚醒。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHcqT3tXjG
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqEn3QcBN5
老者緩緩點頭：「那個男人，就是你的父親。而那個孩子……就是你。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTfI60YtoD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A3cdnCYXN
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTVtLRwG8F
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJTAtyemg8
「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。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bVNF70Qjc

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ExrD72YG

「而如今，時間之戒的光芒再度出現——而且，是在你手上。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8YIbYVhhM
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzgMW1xdSH
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkQzsUe6CX
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoL5NGakTK
老者望向洛塵，聲音穩重：32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmL7bnu6zH
「你是選中之人——也是唯一，可以喚醒時間之戒、重構秩序的人。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62lYZ0t0r5

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5EucTKBRD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICnAxJbisu
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZKhoyOhnL
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3zab50PSn
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGZOcO7goZ
「那麼……我該怎麼做？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2WfyAwbEq
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aUkvAhEek
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoBAEFwwmF
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2TIVtNXHo
老者望向他，露出一抹釋然的微笑：「說過去吧。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE82YzwQg2P
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Sz4zShTD
「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。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqQ5F9CBdB
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkIxxOgPSQ
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcynKx29PVJ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqi56ofsQ2
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NHS6WWBxL
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymwNwnTkHO
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX4yNYz68Y
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhBgiHz95p
瞬間——
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JtIebXIpY
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLHb4MEQiF
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。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P0Exwtxdk
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXbs1dIWFd
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA83liW1w4h
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX56WyQQMd
戒指浮起，懸空旋轉，符文如星河般洶湧流動。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht3X5AQDpg
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJtaQa0Clo
老者站於光影之中，聲音穿透能量洪流，平穩又堅定：
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKkFdgG61f
「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。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wcVgIVDF3
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ahBJqZST
洛塵仰望那在空中旋轉的戒指，深吸一口氣。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU9SSHPlKR
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mri1fVtB4
「來吧……我準備好了。」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL5mZNMNrV
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrj0gST9Ys
金光爆閃，天地瞬間寂靜——
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cmXufOXuO
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBY9S78nds
如同整個宇宙在這一秒，屏息以待。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHGT27ZQ3N

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtwlxI6l0W

隨著一道白光湧現，眼前的一切彷彿瞬間被撕裂、重構。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwsVQF5lk6
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyBfSYpp7d
洛塵只覺得天旋地轉，下一秒——
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtXZlmoV6l
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEskwK15Qvb
他已置身於一片廣闊無邊的草原之上。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBToxV0rod
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMGEfXBsDH
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANZgdK6oCt
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffFI2VWTNl
「這是……哪裡？」
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwzVSpOhTn
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHO5weHRGH
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElvmDhxxPb
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVjXhcPclD
而在那樹下，站著一個人影。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwnw1a5D8g
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYqr5tawPZ
洛塵瞇起眼，緩緩走近——
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3EqV0xwKU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNigipzXSJz
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbSjCXA0lp
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Xx1Q55qm
「你是……？」洛塵試探地問。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOZZ1kf2Fw
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPpUMRda79
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNibbtdU83
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJCICH0DQx
「我們，終於見面了。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqbn1Wk2d7
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnogsAr3Ae
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCctgvCnGMf
他的聲音不大，卻清晰地在整片空曠草原中迴盪。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡropRJSdiHU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnB3RrNCP6
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。
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXVmm0MsCj
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxA4uGi4hS
老者微笑道：「老夫，是這枚戒指的本體。」
