「之後,我從他人口中得知,當年我離開連方鎮,清漣原本想要追上來阻止我,卻被其他鎮民攔下。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAh4PZvdGZx9
369Please respect copyright.PENANATIXSzEU9Ru
「鎮民們勸清漣不要辜負我的好意之後,清漣才肯留下。不久後,涓兒生下一子,卻不幸夭折,涓兒也因產後虛勞而去世,留下清漣一人獨活於世。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAcJofW6QK4d
369Please respect copyright.PENANAlRRYGOKOSj
「清漣對讓我替他從軍一事感到無比愧疚,這數十年來,他日日都到那棧橋旁等待我的船舟靠岸。怎知歲月無情,我還來不急見清漣最後一面,他就身染重疾,離我而逝……」369Please respect copyright.PENANAK13D6TLwCN
369Please respect copyright.PENANAon990JzPv3
漪洀忍不住輕咳了幾聲,打斷了話語,水閣外的幽寂深夜,還是綿綿不絕地下著冷雨。369Please respect copyright.PENANAbqe3EO9wsx
369Please respect copyright.PENANAuQxmgUQsqa
漪洀緩了緩呼吸,又向坎水娓娓道來:「回到這後,我替清漣重新打理客棧,並為他守喪,如今將到舉辦渡蓮仙會的日子了,我卻染上惡疾,還不知道能不能送清漣最後一程……」369Please respect copyright.PENANAGrYWCgkm8h
369Please respect copyright.PENANAfIfn8UtzY6
「我想這都是上蒼對我的懲罰吧,我心中存有的邪情濁念悖逆了天理人倫,但我卻癡迷不悟,才遭致了這般惡果。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAtGD8RrTVK9
369Please respect copyright.PENANAFiCYird9u7
話說至此,漪洀已是老淚縱橫,語帶哽咽。369Please respect copyright.PENANAxhcJAhr5U2
369Please respect copyright.PENANAUAc6gfzwp8
而坎水仍端坐得宛如淨雅的蓮,神情莊重穆然,靜靜聆聽漪洀的一字一句。369Please respect copyright.PENANAEe5bH14QQW
369Please respect copyright.PENANAyUwY9I0ScX
「坎水姑娘,我從沒向其他人說過我的事,就只有妳聽過。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAxpLqoTC4G3
369Please respect copyright.PENANAWem1Gx9mm3
「我想我之後是要下地獄受苦受難的,但我明白坎水姑娘是慈悲心腸,望妳能記住我的這番經歷,若遇到有和我同樣遭遇的人,能勸他趕緊拋下妄念,回頭是岸啊。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAxLthc5GkSX
369Please respect copyright.PENANA6InsyidTzy
漪洀語重心長地說道,最後的這番話,是他以一生的苦痛領會到的沉痛慨嘆。369Please respect copyright.PENANAhijDeBxI43
369Please respect copyright.PENANAAUnQrdNfHl
他會選擇坎水作為傾訴的對象,是認為坎水仁心慈善,能諒解他的這番情愛冤孽,聽完他所訴說的故事,不論之後坎水是痛聲斥責還是掉頭離去,他都能夠理解。他只盼望能以自身經歷勸誡世人,就此了結這段驚世駭俗的奇情孽障。369Please respect copyright.PENANA0pTdtDtGyS
369Please respect copyright.PENANAl3wyfxpFrp
「漪洀先生,你與清漣的生離死別,並非上蒼的懲罰,只是今生錯過的緣分。而你對清漣的這份情意,也絕非天理不容的冤孽魔障。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAYYJkStfcaU
369Please respect copyright.PENANAl7SW3SfpP3
他卻萬萬沒想到,坎水以柔如蓮辦的玉手,撫握住他枯皺的雙手,包容了他歷經的世事滄桑與種種苦難。369Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Z2Rj0Urh
369Please respect copyright.PENANAJWUUYjQdk7
「所謂『眾生平等,慈悲大愛,天地至情,世間至福。』法華子的真意,是期望世人經歷七世輪迴,能領悟情愛的真諦,以此化育出憐憫的『蓮心』,能寬恕他人的罪惡,悲憫他人的苦難,不求回報善待他人,待世間所有人都懷有蓮心之時,人間也成了無災無難的極樂淨土。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAgVm0ZwqHEB
369Please respect copyright.PENANAHMPoOFEwt6
「然而眾生平等,世人皆有情,此為天生。你為清漣傾注了一生的至情至愛,與他人的情愛並無分別啊,你心中盛開的那朵蓮,終能成就悲憫萬物的清淨蓮心吧。」369Please respect copyright.PENANArDHU8m7fFR
369Please respect copyright.PENANATafNXH2Vgv
坎水的眉眼彎成了最為慈和的微笑,她的肺腑之言是流進漪洀心湖的一朵法蓮,就此渡化了糾葛他一生的心魔。369Please respect copyright.PENANAcFissa5TEr
369Please respect copyright.PENANArIwWfV7t7D
「啊……是啊……」369Please respect copyright.PENANAQANEcBM0j3
369Please respect copyright.PENANAE5QZec6Thd
「坎水姑娘,謝謝……」369Please respect copyright.PENANAbmlrXkHQ6J
369Please respect copyright.PENANAmnswZ7Ou0u
正如當年清漣拯救了垂死的他,他晦暗陰沉的人生,又再度被朗朗霽光撫照,得到新生。369Please respect copyright.PENANAwcwZAT6LqE
369Please respect copyright.PENANAqlrMO4BrN7
將近此生的盡頭,漪洀才徹底明白,原來在漫漫一生的漂泊中,他所等待的,不過是這一份難得的寬容體諒,及最終的醒悟。369Please respect copyright.PENANAUZlsGzQQOJ
369Please respect copyright.PENANAB0KbfVvl0A
用一夜訴盡的無盡情意,正如石桌上那盞依然溫熱的蓮心清露,初嘗的滋味是澀苦至極,但深嘗到底後,舒展開來的是綿延不絕的甘韻清香。369Please respect copyright.PENANAwBshWbA3Ez
369Please respect copyright.PENANAItcgycDm64
雨,停了。369Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ve7EaBgNd
369Please respect copyright.PENANAuOkGnqtO4w
水閣外的並蒂蓮花,也悄悄地開了。369Please respect copyright.PENANAKjRJ3xzKWc

今夜,就要舉辦連方鎮一年一度的渡蓮儀式,許多人聚集到水岸旁,其中有些人雙手輕捧著安放水漣石的蓮燈,坎水便是其中一人。369Please respect copyright.PENANAUFGjSUzd9p
369Please respect copyright.PENANAUnvOJZbDSJ
「坎水姑娘啊,謝謝妳願意幫漪洀完成最後的心願。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAC4xLkP58cP
369Please respect copyright.PENANAS9XvPgG5i9
「去年我在青門客棧前遇見漪洀時,我還認不出他來呢,現在,他也跟著他兄弟去了啊。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAV3sj7zrRJv
369Please respect copyright.PENANA23UyMDB7QU
一名身形佝僂的矮小老婦立於坎水身側,感慨地說道。369Please respect copyright.PENANAJmTEPMSLJm
369Please respect copyright.PENANAoJjy7ElKde
「只是舉手之勞而已,只是我是外人,也不知道恰不恰當。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAtqgQdYeOt2
369Please respect copyright.PENANAp1j19KnCYj
坎水回想起幾日前,漪洀安詳離世的面容,以及對她最後的請託:「坎水故娘,妳是我生命中的貴人,我的身體已撐不到渡蓮仙會那時了,我和清漣的蓮燈,就拜託妳渡放了。」369Please respect copyright.PENANA21N9WYbmlR
369Please respect copyright.PENANAjKtcO81j6k
坎水接受了漪洀臨終的懇求,現在她手裡便是漪洀和清漣的兩盞蓮燈。369Please respect copyright.PENANAUKeZC9S5D3
369Please respect copyright.PENANAGOF9UXVbOd
「沒什麼不好,畢竟他們已經沒有親人了,由妳送他們倆最後一程,是漪洀的期盼,更是因為你們之間有緣啊。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAKxdJNzhMjc
369Please respect copyright.PENANAm37Q6bE1go
老婦人寬慰的話語,讓坎水清秀的面龐綻開淡雅笑顏,為自己和漪洀所結下的善緣感到歡喜。369Please respect copyright.PENANApCOUdw6Toi
369Please respect copyright.PENANA94VQk5f6DL
「話說回來,妳手上的蓮燈是並蒂蓮吧,真是稀有啊。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAjkZPAm8c9j
369Please respect copyright.PENANAmBTeFOL5u9
「並蒂蓮在我們鎮裡又稱兄弟蓮,漪洀和清漣就如同根所生的兄弟情感甚篤,也挺適合他們。」369Please respect copyright.PENANAz3FC2AKXeL
369Please respect copyright.PENANAGYLVVlowY5
「是啊,不過這盞並蒂蓮燈也有另外的含意呢。」坎水語帶玄機地微微一笑,這盞並蒂蓮燈,多少能彌補漪洀心裡的遺憾吧,369Please respect copyright.PENANAM8712o3qhi
369Please respect copyright.PENANArxy81JS1GH
並蒂蓮,也被喻為相守一生的恩愛夫妻,直至輪迴轉世也永不分離。369Please respect copyright.PENANASgXLCJghdP
369Please respect copyright.PENANAAlnJSZP2HD
坎水盼望像漪洀這般的人,有朝一日能夠將自己的情愛袒露於光天白日下,不會遭他人誤解鄙視,也沒有使人間分崩離析的戰火與紛爭。369Please respect copyright.PENANAnWUMBR0qHH
369Please respect copyright.PENANAeodfHCgsNO
那正是法華大仙千百年來一直想望的極樂淨土吧。369Please respect copyright.PENANA7HfSnZDUFy
369Please respect copyright.PENANAOGj0HrRK5U
坎水在並蒂蓮燈裡傾注自身的法力,漪洀和清漣的水漣石在柔軟蓮瓣的包攏中,透發出清亮的粼粼波光,倒映於坎水清潤的眼眸中。369Please respect copyright.PENANAeHZEiTaWLc
369Please respect copyright.PENANAM3CEcTe0nx
那瞬間,漪洀和清漣兩人的真摯祈願,悄悄流進了坎水心裡。369Please respect copyright.PENANAD5EuRenUyP
369Please respect copyright.PENANAkEnUcHv67E
「果然,你們的心願,都是一樣的呢……」369Please respect copyright.PENANAEkX01S29cv
369Please respect copyright.PENANAK0JImzEdCZ
坎水欣慰地含笑說道,她不自覺吐露的感懷之語,溶入了被江水洗得淨透的溫潤蓮香中。369Please respect copyright.PENANAqfknXPa4NW
369Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ6teb29np
如同將剛出生的嬰孩放入眠床般,坎水以極為輕柔的方式,把並蒂蓮燈安放於清澈水面上。369Please respect copyright.PENANAKzjmxWf8hh
369Please respect copyright.PENANALpGYrKtxNF
潺潺流水映照著晴朗夜空裡的皎皎河漢,和江上的蓮燈相互輝映,蓮燈所渡化的魂靈,捨去了凡俗的肉身,要前往人間無法觸及的彼世輪迴。369Please respect copyright.PENANA7G54a8TqjM
369Please respect copyright.PENANAZVu0fVxQLd
坎水立於人間的此岸,雙手合十禱念誦詞,為逝者祈求冥福。369Please respect copyright.PENANAuIGHBTSAZp
369Please respect copyright.PENANAAqwyZczOxL
她凝望盞盞蓮燈渡往彼岸的燦燦靈光,彷彿看見了當年的兩個孩子天真無憂的共乘蓮舟,許下了共同的願望──祈望來世,能與他一同完成今生未竟的旅程。369Please respect copyright.PENANAAkUErzAI8Q
