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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5shC6wsE8b
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAPFitTdmM
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArxp2ce3wN
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Es8yuWqir
「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。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQBK4sGSlZ
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatorPvf7IG
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmkMMDgFp5
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh2RuPXKnj
【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。22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfuEc6yb3R
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnnTfFAr26
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGTIRVIQOB
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIDuaClVYE
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。22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwqRAJRl6R
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2q3PNcYAs
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt9rbIi7an
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7QAVNfYjL
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr50n0sIUks
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xfdupi4Si
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80dwgPJfsp
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr3HtZH4HK
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSqm6L8azQ
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy1AlZMldH
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj82yLXZwB1
吱呀一聲。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QXT0IboUG
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAIvRIYhe6
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9zLYd10DW
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxye4zokAv
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ97ydHDfX
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGDRH4ByL1
「……你終於來了。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N8uePkpBx
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bjIFAvYXk
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz250na6kHy
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiJy5Uf665
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVEY8QNrXJ
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70uqUUEUTB
「別怕，我是……留下來的意志，或者說，是一道思念體。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIgjVEF7Bu
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoxil2hpDE
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNv7C3Zx6t
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJTOiLtwcL
忽然——
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nqND2hXzi
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TQZW43ZRj
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39PLnnyo2x
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAoKaDdyro
老者望著那道光芒，語氣平靜卻帶著無法忽視的莊重：
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM2pfwNDoE
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvs6nlKJdJ
「你身上的那枚戒指，名為——時間之戒。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOuNhQuimQ
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwcPLExFTp
洛塵心頭一震，低聲重複：「……時間之戒？」22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIOCONWN2C
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9DgCuka01
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBik2UFgNi
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKlK4ObucV
「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。」22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsxW2UbrEX
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiErOBmGCGf
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLVnA56KU1
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UAaqh3WYV
洛塵怔住，腦中一時難以消化。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoQHMPjEGU
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiIYeADUav
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。」22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76IflrbK5a
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbizWFn0BrK
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQGT6rAvU
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIKoiHpkBO
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh2YAQOuxI
他停頓了一下，微微低首，像是在回憶過往。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHY2dsebSt
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmWzcFiGyc
「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。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUPjvBfsgf
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhpB8J1i6l
「所以你們選擇封印它？」洛塵問。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMkMD9ra3W
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q6DP54iZ0
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』。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OowFNXWRL
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtetnP248Kv
祠堂內氣氛凝重，金光在洛塵掌心躍動，如同心跳。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ73HttLyKm
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbhsY1rGzo
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。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkLK5hUF3p
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqInIoR9NsQ
他緩緩轉身，目光落在祭壇左側的一面斑駁木門上。22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ3qRSVK5w

「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。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxz609MMxt
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rCZiPQAEQ
洛塵呼吸一滯，彷彿有什麼熟悉的記憶被喚醒。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp3vx4ykWG
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrNn73aBYJ
老者緩緩點頭：「那個男人，就是你的父親。而那個孩子……就是你。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm0WPeIFDg
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6eRYHsAJS
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBJkBgGiFT
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ79lW40Wj
「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。」22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi4wsc3PHn
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0awzUIcdm1
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX2GbOGXEP

「而如今，時間之戒的光芒再度出現——而且，是在你手上。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYuWONQkNL
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiOYaHjF92
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZVVs5uGsD
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeLQ8R9iEe
老者望向洛塵，聲音穩重：22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwrJWfFfrW
「你是選中之人——也是唯一，可以喚醒時間之戒、重構秩序的人。」22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6OUHX5HzA

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yiyfpGH6T
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAM0oGsY0d
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrM7Fk82S9
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ116HJ1XpQN
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8odPFnvSDJ
「那麼……我該怎麼做？」22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy2tdxFDoB
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpX0zuZIQ3
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUpHTzYtxs
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTlZtgzbiV
老者望向他，露出一抹釋然的微笑：「說過去吧。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslyVLM2n8U
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsJVUV82um
「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。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKCz8JkliH
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2FelCvsPM
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLENVcQJiz
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv1ZJ9qjqQ
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gQB6qycKF
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpGUQpnClW
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUeMa1ceAI
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCqdev6dmx
瞬間——
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtgQtkNsBY
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQpkN2V8VE
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。22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUhoma4lLc
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR3lRimh91
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ji4IlFBT
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHoj4vxhUc
戒指浮起，懸空旋轉，符文如星河般洶湧流動。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5KFJNuYxM
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWC5JGnYtK
老者站於光影之中，聲音穿透能量洪流，平穩又堅定：
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp9Ku70s2f
「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。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAMyVHbsHO
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNqZJjid82
洛塵仰望那在空中旋轉的戒指，深吸一口氣。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KukCQMdfu
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U6Vhwh5dh
「來吧……我準備好了。」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZps8rRbEN
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PvehHphpr
金光爆閃，天地瞬間寂靜——
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWGiaogEaZ
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSEPcPK9lE
如同整個宇宙在這一秒，屏息以待。22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SSr7vtF8c

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WTpyxEEhb
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f26vstCEy
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpV3hgS0iX
隨著一道白光湧現，眼前的一切彷彿瞬間被撕裂、重構。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHfgq8Sasx
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfxbGZzWS6
洛塵只覺得天旋地轉，下一秒——
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxN0Qe37TA
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSEs64r6SD
他已置身於一片廣闊無邊的草原之上。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIkO5QgVAz
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXSEhawyjp
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpESH1BiNEP
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YRJDxstbl
「這是……哪裡？」
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpfHUNkVvx
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqTnnq5aGC
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqNOHmXqsl
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4jNSpNXS1
而在那樹下，站著一個人影。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMql8vKs0pg
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPbhem3M0I
洛塵瞇起眼，緩緩走近——
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEGZ4jYfxb
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJEq4BePio
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM1M0o7ojS
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9VavQHmb1
「你是……？」洛塵試探地問。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfqxJXi5C0
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cArIhRtvx
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfwTrRoAOk
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfWST2jQo1
「我們，終於見面了。」22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A6ed7ttoy
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTrtSi6z7C
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Tr4Yo61Y
他的聲音不大，卻清晰地在整片空曠草原中迴盪。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2bb7I2Pxq
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6nCoUDk81
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。
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegu3Cky4uT
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5njr4CrZTe
老者微笑道：「老夫，是這枚戒指的本體。」
