「你們後悔了麼嗎?」88Please respect copyright.PENANA0F5ea7NRQs
這句話迴盪於林秀與林戎心底。88Please respect copyright.PENANADrl5PaDwGD
夜深,林戎向唐順討了酒、走出屋外找了能看見月光的巨石盤坐於上,對月獨酌。88Please respect copyright.PENANAdjj7RiVdQR
來到異地,涅烏帕爾自與兩名丐幫弟子相遇後便不透聲色觀察對方言行。,此時他放慢步伐、運功融入暗塵彌散夜色間,並跟隨林戎腳步來到巨石旁。88Please respect copyright.PENANAPIPuGSJmTE
他仰頭看對方在明月底身影,心底糾結半晌方要使力跳上石頭頂端,卻忽被其喃喃自語止住,仰頭便見重雲散去、透下銀亮。88Please respect copyright.PENANA3oq1tTmzNF
月尊照清幽暗間萬物。
「後悔⋯⋯後悔⋯⋯」88Please respect copyright.PENANAI9U5LfeOcc
丐幫弟子雙眼凝視懷中酒甕,嘴裡叨唸:「也說不到後悔,就是覺得⋯⋯」88Please respect copyright.PENANAUSSGfBqYZQ
對方並未將話說完,然涅烏帕爾聽得懂那重複的詞。照顧幾人的唐門女人今日午時便有轉述這幾個字——88Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ0rs6aXDr
後悔。88Please respect copyright.PENANAlGJrnV5CUX
半身微晃的林戎看似喝醉,眸裡既清明又哀傷,卻又下刻轉為迷茫與困惑。88Please respect copyright.PENANAp41AmGQKPi
儘管言語不通,可人仍會在舉手投足間不經意洩漏心思、難以作假。88Please respect copyright.PENANAqomz9qpIFO
青年雖非擅長聽心,但由於妹妹柔蘭精於觀面、悉心教導,再加上明教教中弟子眾多、關係紛雜,身為少數化形術士的他既肩負崇高地位與責任、亦代表無處不被檢視,因此他多少學得如何辨別善惡真偽。88Please respect copyright.PENANA1KjMVcdyWH
哪些是明尊之意?88Please respect copyright.PENANAVe3gxk7bfy
哪些又為凡人擅自臆測而言。88Please respect copyright.PENANAIUA4rDmNIi
而就在其凝視林戎時後退踩到石砂,細微聲響驚動看似沉醉之人,只見對方立即回首質問:「是誰?」使涅烏帕爾不得不退去隱匿蹤跡術法、運功跳至大石上走到對方身邊,斷訊說出不標準的漢語:「戎⋯⋯我⋯⋯是⋯⋯」88Please respect copyright.PENANAWpSFLKnFbS
「是你?」88Please respect copyright.PENANAnBYV5hJY9n
林戎注意到是明教青年後怔了半晌才道:「坐吧。」示意其在自己身邊坐好並將酒杯遞給他,再問:「你的傷還好?」88Please respect copyright.PENANAMNPkA4sD4N
涅烏帕爾接下後未應其疑問,反倒有些沉默,彷若思索良久方惴惴不安開口。88Please respect copyright.PENANAy3dBLUC3hI
「我們⋯⋯你們⋯⋯害——被放棄?」88Please respect copyright.PENANASAlTNHdclE
非意料裡之答覆使林戎頓時難以言喻心底感觸。無論是對方結巴不標準的漢語又或片段字句可拼湊出來之意,皆使男人心中浮現某種直覺,自己與涅烏帕爾皆對此等局面既慶幸也懊悔。88Please respect copyright.PENANAymwv4Mt4Lp
慶幸為他們都撿回小命,懊悔亦是他們都仍活著面對眼前難堪。88Please respect copyright.PENANA64oN4peD7q
他不確定若丐幫長老們再次追來、質問甚至出言責備,自己是否還存有再次跳下山崖的堅決?88Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q5UXk2uh2
見對方如此為難,涅烏帕爾眉間微皺,先放下酒正坐、抬頭凝望圓滿月尊,隨後雙手合十底在額首彎腰虔誠膜拜。88Please respect copyright.PENANAFoI1rSxGEP
光明慈父,知義知情。88Please respect copyright.PENANASJ31q13R1b
一拜又拜。88Please respect copyright.PENANAV4Ml7v7FIV
啟我澄心,蘇我明性。88Please respect copyright.PENANAHT6i0rqGjY
青年於心中默念無數,最後才抬起頭直視滿面不解的林戎,講出稍早他與胞妹所討論的決議。88Please respect copyright.PENANApOu1Kj3K1q
「你們⋯⋯我們⋯⋯救,沒關係⋯⋯交出去。」88Please respect copyright.PENANAqHUjf2DVJQ
月光映照人影成雙,青年本漆黑眸底似乎閃爍起光芒,口訴的語調極其緩慢卻堅定,甚至揚起嘴角、眉間逐漸透露了然。88Please respect copyright.PENANAfHgLoOQjhS
「大漠⋯⋯回⋯⋯亦死,留此,救命恩⋯⋯可還。」88Please respect copyright.PENANA21Ljed7oTV
既說生亦何歡,哪需再問死亦何苦?88Please respect copyright.PENANAO3CqvPwQI0
此生不過殘軀生於凡間,死也就熊熊聖火焚之歸回明尊坐下罷了,至少未愧對祂所教悔。88Please respect copyright.PENANAn3nSJo5JY2
涅烏帕爾所言讓林戎完全怔住、如受重擊。88Please respect copyright.PENANAZOefkOGUVf
有恩必報、義不容辭。88Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ef1hBL6Sp
這不也是同他們丐幫所講之義嗎?88Please respect copyright.PENANAz1YYQFa9BI
丐幫弟子眼中迷霧終於微微散去,朝明教弟子露出些許苦悶的笑容,搖頭無奈感嘆:「怎麼反倒被你提醒了啊?」說完再度將酒杯塞入對方掌中、斟滿純釀。88Please respect copyright.PENANAEE0noAIyYn
這次涅烏帕爾終是接過酒盞,向林戎舉杯。88Please respect copyright.PENANAjDPxDjH07f
「喝了這杯,我們互沒相欠,誰也不須還甚麼。」88Please respect copyright.PENANAtu0ptxvSUw
兩人在明尊見證下共飲此時。
