靖瑤將女祭讓進原先準備給她的位置，才開口道：「如諸位大人所見，女祭娘娘已助我將酒器易主，詳情暫且揭過，眼下，陸封已墜入長夢，施加在娘親身上的術法也已失效，靖瑤來此便是打算接著與諸位說明，解開『厄魘襄陵』一事。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWMH5Uo457
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEhiUkOQXx
幾位冥府的主子覷了覷女祭，心知許多疑問諸如「酒器是否為真」、「如何易主得手」、「當真解開天后夢魘」等，都無需再問，女祭在此，便是靖瑤所言最佳擔保，金剛不壞。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UIBCXDqmy
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbldbLLiw7
簡言之，靖瑤將在女祭的指導下重新打磨酒器，將陸封鑿進酒器底部的相柳遺骸磨去，而後再次催出酒水，催出一滴美夢，投入忘川，消弭無盡繁衍的惡夢。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPYaawmWVW

「娘娘，晚輩有一問。」宣鑒打岔，計畫聽上去無甚過失，卻有一事難解，「忘川裡攪和著萬千凡人魂魄的夢魘，僅用一場好夢，當真能消弭？」畢竟，何謂「好夢」因人而異。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqLb6phyMG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KjR4lNBNe
女祭一笑：「霽同我提起過你，說你是個怠惰使用才華的。」宣鑒面上五顏六色轉過一輪後，才聽女祭答道：「確實，逐一洗淨魂魄，沒有任何法子比『萬法清平』迅速有效，可我們要做的是釜底抽薪，以施術之人的美夢，彌平他所代去的『厄魘襄陵』的根。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI1wf8GcDN
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BFB8bVkA1
堂上眾人齊刷刷看向靖瑤，施術之人正是陸封，若說誰能取來陸封之夢，靖瑤當是不二人選。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cWXV20Ozy
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkcrCFKD4P
靖瑤被看得渾身不自在，雖已下訂決心協助，可此時猛然壓下的重擔，仍令她有些喘不上氣。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWyKFxI2dz
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvonPGDu9i
女祭伸手搭上靖瑤手臂，予以安撫，這位難以捉摸的太古神祇，似乎很是喜愛天家小郡主。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunpRQEHQ7z
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzlg2pJnp8
她道：「莫擔心，最棘手的妳已辦妥，餘下的定能妥善處理，華胥寶珠能助妳完成。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XXX6vfbTQ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFisY7VbQr
靖瑤回以幾不可見的輕輕點頭。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4FeAJphf6
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyR8xpC9tM
當日稍晚，不省人事的陸封，被五花大綁地送至靖瑤房內，一同等在裡邊的還有女祭。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyC3JaBOv4
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg9AdtqN9m
「娘娘，晚輩有一事相求。」靖瑤如是說。
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsISYknh682
近來，陸封總感覺靖瑤有些陌生，他倆依舊一塊兒上學，下學一塊兒看夕陽，偶爾一塊兒躲懶，一切如常，但不知為何，陸封覺得靖瑤嬌俏的笑容裡，掩藏著一絲陰鬱。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQipMHQrsct
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQENpOe22Y8
「郡主近期可有什麼事煩心？」苦思多日，陸封實在想不明白，終於決定開口詢問，兩人此時正並肩躺在元靈池畔，碩大的優缽羅花稍稍探出池水，陰影正好足夠為二人遮擋陽光。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKJRlceIVr
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KK02mM3UF
陸封道：「若有，不妨說與我聽，多一人思量，便多一分機會。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM8n5NZnpL
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjJUS9QtjT
靖瑤似乎沒料到陸封問起，大為驚訝，反問道：「封哥哥為何突然問起？我看上去不高興了嗎？什麼時候？現下？」反應之大讓陸封微微一驚。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWMaOvpIkA
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbJdAcI0JP
但他沒做他想，解釋道：「不，不是現下，是……近幾日不時覺著郡主似乎心事重重，才有此一問，若郡主並未心煩，再好不過。」語畢淺淺一笑。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzRaZf4u4C
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oKRpBKW5l
「……沒事兒！」靖瑤笑了，異常燦爛，她道：「多謝封哥哥關懷，哎呀，難為你關心我啦，先前我這臉色不知得多難看呢，竟讓封哥哥都看不下去啦。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq88MztTKp
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaKaSoC3Vh
陸封緬甸地撓撓鼻樑，道：「沒的事，郡主一如既往好看，不過是忽然想起，從前若有掛心郡主，卻都甚少問出，如今想來有些不妥，應當改過。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRurUQNEnS
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgXZbYKdbw
「……」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt117hhTmov
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0vGHiYPCN
「郡主？」靖瑤沒回應，陸封不禁出聲。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOMHNHZ4VL
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTMLeZpNyc
「封哥哥，有一事想問問你。」靖瑤突兀道。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRPfLltKCV
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXeMGsWEnl
「當然，郡主請講。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5P0BiPzZ7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMzjTScqqs
「封哥哥至今人生裡，何時尤為愜意、最為快樂？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCj6t4Hdx5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NNQr6Csby
微風牽起陸封微笑，吹動優缽羅花，日光灑進他雙眸。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSTyee6YQC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIgZyRfaJK
「此時。」他說。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI5ijG5Tp4
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbbTIkUmnG
「……陪我小睡片刻可好，封哥哥？」靖瑤再次生硬地轉移話題。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqd5DyOXZM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zXNKUWT5U
日光傾斜時，靖瑤將一枚寶珠放進熟睡的陸封懷中，一縷微光自陸封胸口滲出，鑽進華胥寶珠裡邊，七彩流光自內部點亮鏤空的寶珠，增添快活的氣息。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R3XZxdIF9
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedXCYj102J
眼淚一滴一滴墜落，打在寶珠上，打在陸封臉頰上。
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWax7eVxEy
幾日後清晨，忘川邊擠滿人潮，眾人拋下工作，不顧危險聚集到川邊，只為一句傳言：「今日厄魘襄陵得解。」這流言轉了幾手已然面目全非，究竟是誰要解、如何解已傳出數十版本。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul3K3BCOYH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeYFeYpbue
須臾，鑊湯地獄大門敞開，當中步出一位身著粉色襦裙的姑娘，只見她緩步朝忘川前進，雙手攏在袖中，低頭不語，只顧邁步，眾人卻紛紛為她讓道，直抵川邊。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Ju1Q5UQ5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE9uaPKxKp
腥紅的川水幾乎拍到靖瑤鞋尖，她站在川邊許久，直至人群隱約騷動，方才自懷中取出一物——兕角酒器。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUWUH5eBzf
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0sn9TySur
她將酒器平舉胸前，另一手作勢虛抬，一束花應此而生，紫黑的花朵攀出壺嘴，片刻盛放，無風搖曳，抖出一顆朝露，滑過花瓣，顫巍巍地掛在尖端。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAca83btv4
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANi5HQodoa
這是寂言花，陸封頭一次送給靖瑤的花。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLAS1yLPIs
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi1ffLaHWl
朝露墜落，眾人屏氣凝神的目光中，露珠入水的聲響格外清晰。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaQp28k9zb
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0WcwTZ8aP
咚。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxMAZBu0BK
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxj6WA1B7L
與之相伴的嘆息卻只靖瑤一人聽見，似悲似喜，似泣訴，似釋然。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyy9z7XotL
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGU2nbamyq
而後，以第一聲嘆息為引，忘川內接連響開喟然長嘆，此起彼落，遍佈川水的腥紅，彷彿乘著低語升起、消散，污濁的顏色一點一滴褪去。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAes34dUSM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6l8lcdsZU
不多時，忘川重新化作清清長河，久違地。川邊眾人又沉寂了片刻，才爆出如雷歡呼，如釋重負的宣洩，浪潮般淹沒靖瑤，她脫力地席地跪坐，酒器隨手扔在地上。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6fqjtgph4
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiEqlbp9ei
「孩子，妳做得很好。」靖瑤感覺到一隻手停放在自己頭上，剛進到目光裡的白皙赤足，說明了來人身份。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbpcRfjmm6
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJF9hfClv3
怎麼能說做得好呢？她做得一點都不好，她把那名陰鬱少年，畢生中唯一明媚的時光，投進忘川裡了，那些關於自己的一切，將永遠留在冥府了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0JJBNh4qA
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeM3OgpTwg
陸封再也不認識她了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohVn2QLecn
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84BJnF7wjn
萬法清平依然高掛，白光溫和依舊。靖瑤不禁心想，綰兒姐姐看向光輪時的心境，也如同此時的她嗎？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YMMvxokQ1
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoHIxVNR8S
哭聲響起前一刻，女祭柔軟而厚重的外袍落下，將嬌小的姑娘嚴實地罩住，遮蔽川邊數以萬計陌生的、螫人的視線，將她崩斷的傷悲緊緊藏掖。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGJpKfjU6Z
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XZ2XMByBg
外袍上殘留的軟香餘溫，卻不能為黑暗中的靖瑤帶去半點安慰。
