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。

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXxTYGDfFy
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZQYUt0n41
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS4f21fuIE
「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。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT8wMEFtXo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftZsDg7HE9
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YdtanOL3N
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvGQAOlaZm
【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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxbM5GUWzg
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajShvPwOOj
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKSNy8JQEr
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCoVmShaF5
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ll4DKNnzX
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfCg2Uersd
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZOffJnnKY
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpluk5cGvDY
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh37bsDoPdL
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X6PgBPguA
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMoHPRCtIt
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu4JV2VSj7
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSGUKBJbZp
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsMc0p6XYR
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgaEwNcm99
吱呀一聲。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4e1NizYbn
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwUTwInPVL
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqiJrdCevK
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX3rODeyRG
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUK1sUrPKL
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYT6XlM66V
「……你終於來了。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR2gnqvSXf
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiuWh2i5PE
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YyWf93S2h
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FI7TcWCNg
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ3p7XBpYo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vhYJ0dQjT
「別怕，我是……留下來的意志，或者說，是一道思念體。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Yv8GSga0
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKqhY222pb
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEyiWjlc4u
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtqPWtEm3p
忽然——
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTgylVZ18V
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUZOZD9U6p
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTJhctYwQo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1khiX07H5k
老者望著那道光芒，語氣平靜卻帶著無法忽視的莊重：
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o958kuDBW
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pGGEfXobz
「你身上的那枚戒指，名為——時間之戒。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qVooQsm9Q
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeO1zFBVGl
洛塵心頭一震，低聲重複：「……時間之戒？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV67TM98cNi
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAGMu1saET
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoBmWfCh7Q
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMRz1wgaAz
「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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZI3sEKH5A
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3miYF8EPa
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FOtk5jswH
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YKMHMOgpo
洛塵怔住，腦中一時難以消化。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhkTRZuEma
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHprnv1oFuQ
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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGMOlyTvs0
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM6DR7Q13O
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy2JhP1rR2
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIeCRMmYLR
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYhgi8s37T
他停頓了一下，微微低首，像是在回憶過往。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0ZUX2JKyn
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76SLYZdn7d
「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。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrc1Hup081
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvOTmPazQ7
「所以你們選擇封印它？」洛塵問。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucB5EME0b9
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOU3zUdBnV
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』。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxLlVEhD06
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zGftLqZJx
祠堂內氣氛凝重，金光在洛塵掌心躍動，如同心跳。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusAPs5ZfMo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gqU6yrvJS
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。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEye0hOCv1p
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dMJZmbWCm
他緩緩轉身，目光落在祭壇左側的一面斑駁木門上。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa5Q4kHSjh

「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。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S03A4MkLJ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikur4DJZSB
洛塵呼吸一滯，彷彿有什麼熟悉的記憶被喚醒。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzeo7L5Isd
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88yE0K4F1x
老者緩緩點頭：「那個男人，就是你的父親。而那個孩子……就是你。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PN4G2IBdJ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw1MlUIayQ
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDousZJ55X
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83QTiF2Ytv
「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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pUDL7xi8v
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRDQUdhelM
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVhJcbeZzI

「而如今，時間之戒的光芒再度出現——而且，是在你手上。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF2I4WIk0I
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkfdUzF8Ii
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBadPH7pgGi
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEnfMGnB9a
老者望向洛塵，聲音穩重：33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviovcchSDN
「你是選中之人——也是唯一，可以喚醒時間之戒、重構秩序的人。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBZdlWgIuD

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW59BvOmnZy
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZwsGYMA3r
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIqWER55Iu
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSrvvEl8kA
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nladqegbk
「那麼……我該怎麼做？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkkLkkRIES
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgFFxcex81
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hS2vQiKIA
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzQWSIGqb2
老者望向他，露出一抹釋然的微笑：「說過去吧。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnU1bvNpMv
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6yfhOlQcA
「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。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucIY0SJkn4
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0szfuByDH
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4FTzsDqOY
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VK2pAZof0
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ry9bBYk3W
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF2L3EwPfZ
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjAk5FkHLm
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfayMpUTanQ
瞬間——
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUZJhUmeCc
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLr2yfPX9y
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hhxOyNDVJ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwHivFyEGs
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxLLNQjLic
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOegk4wPv4
戒指浮起，懸空旋轉，符文如星河般洶湧流動。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdgleH3i1d
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFamhoVQcZM
老者站於光影之中，聲音穿透能量洪流，平穩又堅定：
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQozZW3Kgrv
「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。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Avj3H5Azu
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyCdtvRyrG
洛塵仰望那在空中旋轉的戒指，深吸一口氣。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrc5Sw41c0
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOlonasGB3
「來吧……我準備好了。」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9yCZ0dio3
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dZqF2hIej
金光爆閃，天地瞬間寂靜——
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIGdFZKXJj
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HZTq9qfUz
如同整個宇宙在這一秒，屏息以待。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNa4esauCU

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VyPQEnlgO
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAWGrwZimC

隨著一道白光湧現，眼前的一切彷彿瞬間被撕裂、重構。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dWHOMq8MS
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2PzS8dRNg
洛塵只覺得天旋地轉，下一秒——
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnQtN3cvk8
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFmxX2Qy9l
他已置身於一片廣闊無邊的草原之上。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKrwy2SWCk
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg23a1LIe3v
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNgmrC8NRx
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecu09ZgL1e
「這是……哪裡？」
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbArd4YOZkt
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgPk2XNMjM
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdXhQsr5h5
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErYmUtQ0Lz
而在那樹下，站著一個人影。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE4Bi2fAGS
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEGgbFiwWe
洛塵瞇起眼，緩緩走近——
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDkefpQgFU
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQZrtQYUKG
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoryRtpIiA
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHoUSEGjFv
「你是……？」洛塵試探地問。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0oU45bTn3
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB7F5tBwkd
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntlYToYTvy
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpFYTbkLBJ
「我們，終於見面了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGsoK0hd3w
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0FuNfrz7b
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g2BjvOfR7
他的聲音不大，卻清晰地在整片空曠草原中迴盪。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzcZLltxcD
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYnLYbkt9e
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。
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68EYjfYJ09
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjke3onlok
老者微笑道：「老夫，是這枚戒指的本體。」
