仔細一看，才發現那原來是一隻雪白色的半人高巨獸，在雲霧中奔馳。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPh23taNaq
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvUeDA7nYT
而在牠身邊，穿著月黃色長旗袍的女人，腳下不見疾走的動作，卻是以著不輸巨獸的速度跟在一側。裙擺的紅花若隱若現地隨著雲海翻騰，在陽光下折射著美麗的光影。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhnItzmUgy
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLL3MFFSlm
沒多久，一人一獸便降落在某座無名的高山上，女人隨即轉過身，微微低下了頭，對著巨獸開口說話。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ00PK8nN2D
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxehT4znzto
「煩請向崑崙大人覆命。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ar7lGUJOm
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSI7bgxADI
「嗷嗚！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIKDraL6b0
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCLYqeCyB9
確認了流坎的首肯後，七織鬆了口氣，轉身先行離去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffoUDRbQMP
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJTU7RsRKi
剛才一人一獸去了一趟華關村，執行落雷降雨的職務，回到易境後，首要之務是去向崑崙大人報告，確認職務的完成。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLjlXVeIwT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsqV8gR5CP
不過七織不確定崑崙是否正待在西闕工作。雖然是以作為天空的守護者在玄圃被百姓所記憶，但在易境的眾人眼中，卻是個時常任性不工作的小女孩。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T5u1ZsWaw
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaX5MOszzV
但作為編織雲彩的負責人的七織，回收雲絲也是不能拖延的工作。在收回早上沒有收完的雲絲之前，她實在沒有多餘的時間去到處尋找崑崙的身影。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUqXE0NJfk
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PiOiH5VG9
所以在流坎答應獨自去尋找崑崙報告後，一人一獸便在七織工作的納結亭前停下腳步，然後各自前往不同的地方。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEaluLfU2p
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFpYtvEAOn
在離開之前，流坎絲毫不放過任何機會，鑽進正在攪拌染料的雲仙群裡，翻起一陣裙襬間的錦緞浪花，然後被冷抿著唇的七織捆著丟出去，卻還是依依不捨地趴伏在納結亭前，又在附近繞了好一陣子才離去，假裝沒看見七織頭疼的神情。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI2XiqjKL2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIM3NoeJYh
流坎當然知道七織不喜歡。被冠以雷電與懲戒之神職的流坎，雖然還是獸型外貌，但心智早在當年被崑崙從玄圃帶回易境時，就已經開竅，脫離獸的單純直接。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj39ZKmvy3U
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaubg9xeGiA
而在這之後又經過多少歲月，流坎雖然不曾細算，但職責上經常與七織合作，久了自然也能掌握她的脾氣。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGggmTp6g8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdTp6G8cPn
知道歸知道，流坎卻依然故我。一方面固然是牠拒絕不了大姊姊的絕對領域的誘惑，另一方面也是因為，七織雖然是十分認真的人，但對不是人類的流坎卻十分寬容。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn16Rwkvx6K
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQtlr8x0LO
流坎很早就察覺到，那總是擰著細眉，冷瞪著牠的一舉一動的七織，其實只是紙老虎。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ZdncqQ55
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyUY8i8paJ
因為七織雖然是很認真的人，但對於不是人類的流坎，卻無法在牠身上強加人類給予的規範。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOulF38rw6E
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND4WHsMrxe
換做平常男性做出這種舉動根本就是性騷擾的舉動，早就被她毫不留情地教訓了，但因為是流坎，牠不是人類，七織無法用人類的準則規範牠。就算說教，也不知道牠能聽懂多少。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOArj5jMDl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXONFDsnMb
想到這裡，七織只能無奈妥協。除非流坎造成別人的困擾，否則她不會出手阻止，頂多假裝沒看到。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hyWoHsEeN
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXTtpvreqj
心腸有點軟的七織，對上為了漂亮大姊姊，臉皮厚度可以無限上綱的流坎，其實一點辦法也沒有。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcALRUz5aKj
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OHSbg9vSA
也就是因為這樣，牠才能這麼放心地到處打滾，每天都用不同的距離、角度欣賞漂亮的雲仙大姊姊工作的模樣，偶爾鑽進大姊姊長長的裙擺，仰望上空那道美麗的風景，嘿嘿嘿……49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHJKmWnLAV
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiZnrNxSBb
奔馳在道路上的流坎露出了下流的表情。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj2GZodidB
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjWo7BEW13
如果是男性人類的話，接下來會被爆打一頓，但在那頭毛茸茸的野獸外貌掩飾下，反而有些可愛。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJUHcDD4yD
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrTXxbHlEz
雖然內心轉動的念頭一點也不可愛就是了！49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi8f7FEP04
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMgjauAdvf
奔馳中的雪白巨獸停下了腳步。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVuyw3VVLk
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLCTQY25Lw
那雙金黃色的獸瞳盯著某個定點，直到男人從那個方向緩緩走過。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygH4wjprg4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p4tzoezez
「嗷！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaFXr6tZXJ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Va5t01ArM
流坎坐在原地叫了一聲，聽到聲音的男人走了過來，在流坎面前停下了腳步：「怎麼了？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvURyv2zqmg
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3XWai4E5N
男人穿著深黑色的盔甲，如墨般深黑的眸子散發著強大的氣勢，像是在瞪視著流坎一般。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr4aWBd2q8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc05Trl7I5
但流坎清楚，掌握海洋的神祉白令，其實是個很好的人……這句話對崑崙來說是絕對無法認同的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw3SsVVxO7
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnP4TcyZhI
雖然這是因為每次翹班都被白令毫不留情地押回去工作，有時候還附帶被打了一頓屁股的緣故。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMzRuyVhTm
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsvONAn5GX
流坎瞅著那張兇惡的臉，前掌向白令身後的道路指了指。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE21sFJMMe8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVctaKTsUw0
白令揚起眉：「要去找崑崙？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiEamqOOrS
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb3Z34DKTN
其實很好推論。這條路是通往西闕唯一的道路，而西闕是以掌管天空的崑崙為首、掌管海洋的白令與掌管大地的似祖為輔，三人工作的地點。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCb8m9ZCUF
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCopcBqxuR
但流坎於公是雷電的守護神，跟海洋或大地都無關。於私牠是崑崙直接帶回來的，跟崑崙的感情也比較好，所以白令直覺反應便是崑崙。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyTWVPdFfT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW9n5YoTNg
「嗷嗚！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjMKCRvH92
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygPxWup3gS
用鳴叫代替回應，流坎集中意念，氣化為電在體表竄過，帶起一陣金黃色的流光。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFax6SQfHN
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmzUPfE0Qe
白令聽懂了，但卻皺起了眉頭，讓那張原來就極為不和藹可親的面容變得更加兇惡。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaLfsWC7ay
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIXOqurirs
「我知道了，但崑崙現在不在裡面，你晚一點再過來回報吧！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnpp4ToDis
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZdR4YoNfj
換而言之，又翹班了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQY6Vioq8P
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUHUx5dNxY
流坎眨眨眼，輕輕嗚咽一聲，十分同情地看向白令。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTaT9VOeIH
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3AFr1NcWL
雖然流坎沒有說話，但易境的眾人早已習慣用牠的動作與鳴叫推敲牠的意思。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lgSnZBA5P
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqxa0rGEUP
白令曾經擔憂過這種方式是否會帶來不便，畢竟語言有無可取代的正確性。但就像崑崙當初所說的，雖然花了一點時間，流坎逐漸取得與其他人之間的平衡，溝通也不再是障礙。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k27K4Xi7l
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE7Muuee3d
白令以為當年崑崙既然幫流坎開了竅，也會讓牠能說話，方便以語言溝通。不過在事後才知道，那是「不可能的事」。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wz9sS72JW
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pMOtkX071
因為人類跟動物的生理構造不同，就像魚不會飛，鳥不會游泳一樣，流坎的舌頭跟人類完全不同，當然也不可能說人話。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsWw9hooX5
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoBaLJhEgd
但是沒辦法說人類的話並不是流坎的錯。就算勉強以外力讓牠會說，語法的建構也要好一陣子，只是平添痛苦，還不如讓眾人一邊跟牠交流，一邊讓眾人習慣牠的動作語言。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4gDbgyGYw
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZGuHafHr7
其實，動物並不是那麼難以理解。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezcFm7uILe
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy2nQZVZ47
「我找到人後會再聯絡你，先去忙吧。我也該來找人了！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd8KWCqaIc
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoXQjQR01x
雖然動物的嗅覺比較敏銳，讓流坎去找可能比較快，不過白令想到流坎跟崑崙的好交情，便將話省了下來。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0XyZJPNaa
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGh6MQfabE
對著流坎點頭後，白令便轉身離去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJx4ceFOar
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1JJfhHq4j
聽懂他的意思，流坎轉過身來，搖著尾巴目送白令離去，然後才轉頭對旁邊的草叢輕喊了一聲。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmRtn8CkiO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT15ShNe9Z
「嗷！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0zaTFlH2i
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7wBRJN2xP
草叢晃動，然後從中露出一顆嬌小的頭顱。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmtOiKqrt2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hJBZBlwnm
「嘿嘿……果然是我的乖狗狗呀！沒把我供出來，夠義氣！等一下去玄圃買肉給你帶上來！」年約十歲，嬌小的女孩摸摸湊過來的大頭顱，語氣滿是讚許。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2rOkp3dFs
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP0C2TvEq2
不用說，這個人自然是讓白令頭疼著尋覓的崑崙。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIOhCtb9sj
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGURoTOxwg
聽到肉這個字眼，流坎更加熱情地跳進草叢撲倒崑崙，以舌頭替她洗臉。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1bpRv2P0G
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSdb5MT6Ep
「好了好了，我也該先走了，不然等等白令又跑回來就慘了！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueIVqaveNk
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOo03KcuYu
完全不將牠比自己高大的身軀放在眼裡，崑崙拍了拍牠的胸口。流坎會意，馬上恢復坐姿，雷電在牠身上閃過一陣金黃，隨即消失不見，速度快得讓肉眼難以捕捉。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7fqj4id4x
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTht0hkKCbM
但崑崙已經看到了。她拍拍牠，說了一句：「我知道了，辛苦啦！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtrzeVfFBg
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Mf9ZJB0L
「嗷嗚！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTBMu3ix3K
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfmtsRH2Se
「怎麼樣？要不要陪我去玄圃啊？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBme7izCQw
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmIItCqj2K
巨大的頭顱高昂，正打算附和的時候，卻突然僵住了身子，轉而將頭擺向一旁，顯露出拒絕的姿態。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIQGldLcbb
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY45BSYhuW
今天是那個日子，牠想去那個地方等待。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkoEhRMM0V
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGhgd5Tg10
「好吧，那我要先走囉！記得，別跟白令說我去哪裡了！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyFvClLB1H
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uOjMbDXZ8
「嗷嗚！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx2Lzqg1UD
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYZyfLZCrj
得到流坎肯定的答覆，崑崙對牠豎起大拇指表示讚許，然後鑽回草叢。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq6kUITfwF
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFjHYoCeAH
下一秒，不會跑的草叢以著閃電的形狀飛也似地竄了出去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihzIIleAmp
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgazzyBYRg
等到草叢跑得幾乎快要看不見，流坎才轉了一個方向，往忘橋走去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIOS42YONE

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIbCzYlh8q
趴伏在地的雪白巨獸睜開了眼睛。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1O2k3Llc
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5tGrzpQc1
睜眼的一秒，寬廣的視野角落映入原本不存在的衣角，流坎一瞬間睜大眼珠，頭顱飛快地轉了過去，然後在看見人影時鬆開了繃緊的神經，回頭趴回交錯的雙腳之間。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2xX0N0XVO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bib5o4969
「醒了？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEVsezVscF
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vIOzPwt9i
坐在橋頭的女人開口問。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOerbzpZXN
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi5agv9A0B
「嗷……」流坎輕聲應和，一雙瞳鈴般的大眼瞄向桌邊的野果盤，裡面削好的各式水果散發著嬌豔欲滴的光澤，但端坐在旁的女人卻讓牠無法輕舉妄動。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhdDZzbSDI
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcJWzZCfFg
很少有女人會讓流坎卻步。應該說，就算讓崑崙開了竅之後又過了近百年，『深思熟慮』四個字，依舊在那顆小腦袋瓜裡佔不了多少份量。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBM723y4pw
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlxKSbXjHL
人類以理智約束行動，動物以直覺策畫行動，這一點在流坎身上表露無遺。所以對於任何漂亮大姊姊，流坎一直有著直覺性的衝動。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkgP9muByy
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ4zXE6Shv
但在流坎心中，仍有一些無論如何也要忍耐住的女性。比如崑崙，或眼前的女人，掌管輪迴與記憶的孟娘。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt5RPXb55l
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte26ZJYn6T
這並不代表孟娘跟崑崙一樣，都是牠的飼主。兩人的地位雖然不同，但都是同等的無法撼動。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRocHb2kEp
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5E5U3bIJQ
「想吃？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnYnUs5jLq
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmpNiOBugo
注意到流坎的目光，女人──孟娘開口問，被薄紗覆蓋的淡色斗笠微微掀高，露出她隨時都略帶哀傷的血紅杏眸。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqN2wkXACf
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXZgWTnZfb
她的膚色蒼白到幾乎透明，還穿著一身雪白的高領長裙，大大的淡色斗笠蓋住她一半的臉龐，剩下一半的臉龐又被薄紗蓋住了大半，要看到那雙血紅色的杏眸，以及那從眼角下延伸到額頭的龍鱗，並不是容易的事。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qGjE8yq3Z
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxdlv0COHS
比起溫柔又帶著哀傷的眼眸，淡到快看不到顏色的斗笠上，那朵墨黑色的禮花，遠遠望去就像是快要消失的她身上，唯一的顏色。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfn47VDfOI
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiKPqGpOu8
孟娘很少以眼眸凝視某人，就算是面對只能以眼神與動作溝通的流坎，斗笠也只掀高了一秒不到，很快又蓋了回去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyJ1rwHUyO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ023ro3dvXw
但她仍舊伸出藏在長袖裡的指尖，將盤子擺到流坎能夠吃得到的位置。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP3e0dpdoO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryZfTrIjMi
流坎擺擺尾巴當作道謝，迫不及待的低下頭顱，很快就解決了一大半。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVHR1JJzR5
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJnSdD9TSb
「你會過來，那也是代表時候又到了，是嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOph4zx0uUy
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBYCfMaVvU
孟娘低聲詢問，毫不意外得到流坎肯定的低叫。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG1Ccg5UTD
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KcennwQEN
「告訴我名字，我幫你看看吧！」孟娘手腕一翻，一個注滿了水的水瓶憑空落入她的手裡。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ3BBOti3T
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToQi6RSOfI
「嗷嗚！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTNiRZYXzT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF18DyeNUP
流坎一如往常以叫聲替代語言，但面對那令人聽不懂的獸語，孟娘點點頭，纖指輕輕劃過水瓶裡的水面，竟是聽懂了牠的話。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM9oQQetoa
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZJ5aeE14C
「黃喜，字惜羽，生於天地曆三百五十一年春，卒於天地曆三百六十八年秋，飲下忘川水後約有十年光陰，已登錄為雲仙，而後轉生為狐。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ7VNu4RhM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLqQBouK4P
跟其他人與流坎的對話不同，一人一獸像是真的能溝通似的對談著。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1k6AIXpU8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0SQjdoACX
但那也是孟娘不是人類的關係。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDhmTU8tdZ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOMdqTbGxN
隱藏在斗笠下的龍鱗，是在人類的模樣時，唯一能從外表看出孟娘並非人類的證據。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68jATTunuM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P21igWQ7C
「嗷……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE3dCvLjFN
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh3aZmHbNG
「估計是上一世做為宗天豪，他立下太多殺業，沒有三世、五世，恐怕很難還得清。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES7IuVir1O
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWmFpTIoUI
玄圃的人在死亡後，靈魂飛升上空，在贖罪塔贖完一生的罪孽，而後通過孟娘駐守的忘橋，飲下忘卻一切的忘川水，通過輪迴瀑布轉世，這是玄圃自古以來的定律。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQQvsvvmOK
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFDUHuC8z
但有時罪孽太深，連贖罪塔也無法一次還完，便會記在轉世的帳上，隨著時間逐步還清。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASMdKO7kZE
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrjTMbSwYU
雖然這些事在玄圃的紀載上被稱作「報應」或「因果」，但孟娘覺得，這只是單純的對應而已。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCMtHoJmzc
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAHiqwimjc
放棄了什麼，就會有對應的結果。選擇了什麼，就算當下沒有得到，也會在某個到了的時候，被反饋到自己身上。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEse8IQyg3
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHNWeUnWCQ
而她的職責，便是守護這個結果。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKUnNT3zFO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywJeF7psLO
像是想到什麼，流坎突然挺直了身子，閃閃發亮的獸瞳直盯著孟娘看，發出輕聲低叫。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxovmUQkcS6
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyXcjql62S
但孟娘只是搖搖頭：「將他的業轉到你身上，這種事情我做不到，能夠做到這種事的崑崙，我想她不會答應的。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcneQ69pWQu
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvRmP8aVF9
她的職責是守護，不是修改。天地自有其定律規則，就像水只會往下流卻不會往上升、火只會往上燒卻不會往下游，人的命運也像公式一樣，孟娘只能更改某些數字，卻不能更改程式。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlBAjmrOYc
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLWRrsUOnB
流坎垂下耳朵，尾巴也跟著無力擺盪。見那副垂頭喪氣的模樣，孟娘的嗓音也帶入嘆息。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsCDxbuIBl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhTqFVF9kZ
「傻孩子……」她輕輕撫著牠的額頭，像在安撫一個哭泣的孩子：「你與她緣分在好幾世前就已經盡了……這樣的付出，值得嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhsSCPeBUK
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddQXeZshJ5
在還沒有被冠上雷電之神這個名字以前，流坎在野外的狼群裡生活，直到在爭執老大地位時受了重傷，被一個女孩所救，而後就這麼被豢養直到女孩在戰亂中去世，遇到崑崙也是在那個時候的事。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4BrYsekzy
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB0qIoZ7Eh
剛才牠向孟娘詢問的人，正是女孩的轉世。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVVG6E6mx3
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC26ebo4V8
雖然已經過了好幾次輪迴，曾經對她來說如同另一個親人的流坎也失去意義，但流坎卻仍惦記著她，每次只要等到她的靈魂上來易境，沒有纏著她幾天的時間是不放人的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2f6OmoFJj
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB64fdfzV4
在玄圃死亡的人類，靈魂上升到達易境後，先在阿旁的監視下進入贖罪塔贖完一生的罪過，走過孟娘駐守的忘橋，喝下忘川水，在易境工作直到輪迴的時刻。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedukjIlhgM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3acJhnNvYx
流坎知道這個規則不能被打亂，但牠還是無法忍住想靠近她的慾望。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TvLODYHC6
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxid5gezEsf
好幾十年的光陰，她是牠生命的全部。就算她已經遺忘了，但流坎不會忘。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOOrFM6wzZ

「嗷……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDTAMiykzJ

查覺到孟娘若有所思的神情，流坎抬頭舔了舔她的臉頰，有些擔憂地望著她。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WInPi6Kti
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9P5rzljHY
「別擔心，我沒事。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AE3v2lNFz

每個人心裡都有一個寶盒，收藏自己最秘密的東西，只有持有特定的鑰匙才能打開。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIFsBJJRef
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM9yLI9muE
其餘的人，就算不是特意的八卦打探，而是單純的擔憂詢問，只要不是那個人，就沒有打開的資格。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRtoKLYksa
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXnnDCz7VI
而流坎，並不是那個人，或是那個「存在」。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KI68F4ovX
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU8I5rvJP5
隱藏在斗笠下的面容收起緬懷，輕輕扯開唇角：「我會替她加一點運，讓她的下一世能夠有機會找到好人家，或不愁吃喝的度過，但我能幫的也僅止於此了！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtll2OWtOMl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpl5wOUewq
「嗷嗚！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07yFv2aCE0
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cSHhe4Vj9
「不用謝我了……」話才說到一半，敏銳的聽覺已接收到遠方的喧鬧，一人一獸皆將頭轉了過去，盯著遠方被森林環繞的高塔。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhDtWz5TWO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgjLJKw2LQ
遠遠望去像是蒼翠的森林中燃燒的黑色火焰，從那座黑曜石砌成的奇異高塔下，走出一隊冗長的列隊，並逐漸走向孟娘與流坎所在的橋樑。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKJJD4MZxm
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9mTE45uXR
有人也有獸的隊伍走得十分緩慢，但相同的是所有生物皆是一臉疲憊，甚或掩飾不住眼底的害怕，領頭的男人牛頭人身，未著上衣讓他的粗曠體態一覽無遺。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LOOcwTGji
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm4jr5yhxf
見到男人，孟娘捧起水瓶起身，斗笠下的臉孔轉向流坎的方向。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpROgYOhAT4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakXV8psKgx
「阿旁來了，你要先去看看她有沒有在裡面嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmctxux83x
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFU7FPDvaU
流坎緩緩擺動尾巴，神情顯得有些猶豫。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS0HhrCawZ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqrFzLh78h
原因不難猜，孟娘暗暗嘆口氣。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTrnG9oGq2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4rOFVvE20
上一世帶著宗天豪這個名字來到易境的人，流坎如同以往亦步亦趨地跟著他，結果被他騙著喝下該由他自己喝的忘川水，還差點被推入輪迴瀑布。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1D81OgTeD
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yDhppr5Jy
若不是孟娘及時發現，在瀑布前攔下流坎，否則流坎就要真的不在了！49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk4814dheV
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18S3fQW6Uv
直到這件事以後，流坎才終於理解崑崙所說的那些話。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n0JzM9nnf
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GWDvLR7x2
謝掉的花，就算在同一個地方再度盛開，也不會是同一朵，逝去的回憶，就算人回來了，心也不同了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3Gv5Il6E4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4neoa5DFP6
牠記憶裡那個戰亂時一人一半饅頭，同甘共苦的小主人，已經不在了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NkYB4nOXp
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NuUuQTTy0
但知道是一回事，要堅決地轉身離去，揮揮衣袖不帶走一片雲彩，流坎卻做不到。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KCUoSvzAz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiAkstYwVP
明知她不是那個她，流坎還是如同以往記著輪迴的日子，時間到了就忍不住跑來找孟娘，甚至拒絕崑崙的邀約……49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcSZT05Y3e
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGCi3HOvVU
但到了忘橋，那顆小腦袋瓜又開始猶豫，毛茸茸的四肢在地板上踩踏著焦慮的節奏，遲遲下不了決定。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKFxtpzXPm
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0LPTMbsGU
回頭望向流坎的執著，孟娘只能搖搖頭，便朝著隊伍最前頭的阿旁點頭示意。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8MORQxXr9
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TgTxsNaPj
牛頭人身的男人回以一個輕點，只扯動手上的鐵鍊球。一陣清脆的聲響後，長長的隊伍串傳來騷動，原本銬在他們腳上的鐵鍊已經鬆開，轉眼便縮回阿旁手上的鐵鍊球中。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd4oLg4o4f
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlIvIAYACW
隊伍裡的人獸全是死去的靈魂，腳上的鐵鍊從他們死亡的那一刻便緊緊纏繞著腳踝，直到這一刻才突然鬆開，但他們才剛歷經過贖罪塔種種磨難，已經沒力氣思索該怎麼逃離，只能喘著氣在原地休息。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlWjhs4tCx
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gHOgfkZ0J
──原本應該是這個樣子的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1u4U2CEqQ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCUMhqeL3d
距離阿旁與孟娘有段距離的隊伍中段，幾個人突然轉身拔腿逃跑。但沒給他們有太多逃跑的機會，阿旁手上的鐵鍊再度抖動著拉長，繫著的鐵球彷彿自有生命地跟著一道雪白的身影竄了出去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0zuWq6syv
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuJMwo2qi1
斗笠上的黑色禮花隨風飛舞，轉眼孟娘便衝到逃跑的人面前，衣袖輕揮揚起的風勢竟讓那些人全睜不開眼睛。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe45S6nFV9t
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yYIb97MTT
下一秒，阿旁的鐵球毫不客氣地從後腦勺用力一砸，碰地一聲讓孟娘與流坎的身子全都震了一下。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1uOnYwC6K
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVBPG49HtV
「……可否，輕一點？」轉眼又回到阿旁面前，孟娘的嗓音裡摻了無奈。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtoRq8QwE4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xwPR9djo4
「已經死了，比較快。」牛鼻下的唇張開，吐出不帶絲毫憐憫的短句。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG8LKiNZAx
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXprk9H5pm
……好像，是這樣沒錯。無法反駁阿旁的話，捧著水瓶的孟娘轉向流坎的方向：「你又如何？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vwDkbrHDF
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4f2qICV9H
流坎趴下了身子，金黃色的獸瞳抬高，無辜地瞅著她。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd4XX7IhlA
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4FTyXrUSU
「我知道了！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vYDUVP3xM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh204eOy4k
她尊重牠仍舊想留在這裡等人的決定，不管她是否贊同。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS5UcOKxZ2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VQoT96ydG
至少流坎已經打算遠遠看著牠記憶裡的小主人，不是如同以往傻傻地靠近然後傻傻地在心裡留下一道傷。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIAT8CB4Kq
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3ZG3Iu4K1
「……小心一點。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fbMtu61Vd
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP68lJR9Zak
「嗷！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRI59jN8fM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSfw8QktMs
知道孟娘的關心，流坎搖搖尾巴。直到孟娘離去，牠依舊看著她的方向……ns18.117.114.211da2
