夢行者開始出現的時期已不可考,早在先秦時期便有著關於夢的記載,莊周夢蝶、孔子夢周公,單憑這些描述很難確定他們是否擁有夢行的能力,但據呂小婷所說,道教一脈所言的內丹道,其實就是夢行之法。325Please respect copyright.PENANADxSH5c5HYG
325Please respect copyright.PENANA8BF8goo6Bu
修內丹者自身成一小天地,在自己的夢境裡面體驗天人合一的境界,掌握夢行的方法後,可以做到託夢、千里傳訊之類的事情,加上夢行者講述夢中經歷時,經常被誤解為現實體驗,因而衍生了各種怪力亂神的傳說。莊子言心齋、坐忘,單憑精神意志入夢,常人難以仿效,因此秦漢時期道士開始煉丹,嘗試借助外力進入清醒夢,此亦即所謂的借外丹修內丹,然而沒有科學基礎下的煉丹大多只是單純的碰運氣,大部分丹藥都如「五石散」般,既無助入夢,亦與長生背道而馳。儘管如此,煉丹之術依然持續發展,至唐代達到高峰,當時能借外丹入夢的夢行者極多,夢境世界非常熱鬧,現實中的神怪氣氛亦是極盛。325Please respect copyright.PENANAFYIPyYtPeg

「你的意思是……古時那些神仙和鬼怪,其實都只是……夢行者?」陳仰洋的表情有點古怪。325Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y7b39sL1L
325Please respect copyright.PENANAyZgjdeCjO7
「你也可以換個角度。」呂小婷輕聲說道:「所謂的夢行者,就是人們口中擁有大神通的神仙。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAdS71OX1AW6
325Please respect copyright.PENANALWx9yP5NTx
「──或者妖怪。」陳仰洋揉了揉眉心,「我需要冷靜一下。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAHBV1la3l58
325Please respect copyright.PENANAdE3ii0KR5G
他此刻的感覺,就好像打開了一本都市異能的小說,看了大半才發現,那其實是一本修仙小說。325Please respect copyright.PENANAOl2xS7rCnB
325Please respect copyright.PENANAouC4YFcdIG
「好吧,你繼續說……」325Please respect copyright.PENANAFH2GlEcm1k
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0lIodob9MA
煉丹之術在唐末逐漸式微,佛學、理學的興起改變了夢境世界的生態,主流的夢行者普遍不再借助丹藥入夢,於是外丹漸漸失傳。及後西方思想傅入,極重理性的人們把夢境視為單純的幻覺和想像,僅餘的夢行者發現人們無法接受夢行的說法,無論是哪種門派,似乎都難以單憑修煉之法培養新的夢行者,急於收徒的他們開始重視失傅已久的外丹道,然而,此時仍然留有外丹傳承,且仍在夢境世界活躍的勢力,只餘其一。325Please respect copyright.PENANAIvWL9rszrF
325Please respect copyright.PENANA6gX3a1waaj
「那就是我的家族,白宗。」呂小婷壓低聲音,正色說道。325Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y67Bz6GPr
325Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ1e1hx17J
假日的快餐店內甚麼人都有,雖然環境相當嘈雜,但也怕隔牆有耳,兩人把頭湊近在一起,如此交頭接耳,還真沒有人能聽見他們的說話,只是在這種隨便的地方說著如此重大的事情,陳仰洋總覺得有點奇怪。325Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y7zm0wQgi
325Please respect copyright.PENANAwm03SH0iPP
而且,頭靠得這麼近,對面隱約傳來一點洗髮水的香味,讓他有點恍神。325Please respect copyright.PENANAEXOJnq4d6U
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5L6Xnxue5Q
陳仰洋故作鎮定,皺眉想了半晌,「也就是說,你的身分絕對不能暴露,因為你們的家族是……壟斷夢境世界市場的毒品批發商!」325Please respect copyright.PENANAAdbRiy6yEY
325Please respect copyright.PENANAEVzOGIeo4g
呂小婷一怔,嘴角微微抽搐,「……如果現在我們在夢裡面,我肯定會一劍刺穿你的肚子。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAxYgOeS49Pi
325Please respect copyright.PENANAVawX6LobPU
「呃,我只是打個比喻,哈哈……」325Please respect copyright.PENANAYD3gGiNtjV
325Please respect copyright.PENANAoxEiVh5Lyb
呂小婷嘆了一口氣,「不批發,白宗外丹傳內不傳外。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAaBCUDTjzVH
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0HdKCZR7lO
「那個丹藥真有那麼神奇?」陳仰洋好奇地問道。325Please respect copyright.PENANA5nGZT9izhA
325Please respect copyright.PENANAVManeCTahA
「關於丹藥的詳情,我不能說。」325Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qj2gjjFLV
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFw3vUvoed4
「明白了。」陳仰洋點點頭,往後靠向椅背,呼出一口氣,「情況我已經了解了,謝謝你告訴我這麼多。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAPNPYShT2YX
325Please respect copyright.PENANA073Lc4m1Cd
「本來我是打算一直隱瞞下去的,但既然你已經猜到了,我也無必要隱藏甚麼,這些事情,你師父也是知道的,他早晚也會跟你說。」呂小婷苦笑說,「你師父從來都是這樣,重要的事情都不說出口,但其實許多事情他早就知道,早就安排好了。」325Please respect copyright.PENANA5g65GriHmd
325Please respect copyright.PENANAY2VIrCBgcg
「對了,你們又為甚麼會認識他?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAs5s44JLkQY
325Please respect copyright.PENANANHYYjNik3f
「你師父是我爺爺的朋友,曾經在我們宗族遇到大危機時出手相助,是我們的大恩人。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAwDDNf4DWN0
325Please respect copyright.PENANAE6eS4zbwAN
「原來如此……」陳仰洋沉吟半晌,愈是了解夢境世界,愈是發覺自己不知道的事情還有許多,他那師父從甚麼時候成為夢行者呢?又在夢境世界做過甚麼?為甚麼要收他為徒呢?他對這些事情一無所知。325Please respect copyright.PENANAF9m3JYS9MR
325Please respect copyright.PENANABjpdm5tRDy
「在想甚麼?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAfAQQO9pOYw
325Please respect copyright.PENANAu0IFv5Q3Bv
「不,沒甚麼。」陳仰洋搖搖頭,「先說正事,如果我沒有猜錯,夢魘的目標是你,而不是……夢中的你。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAffTIXZDYn3
325Please respect copyright.PENANAYZTOwhCkYF
呂小婷點點頭。325Please respect copyright.PENANA9AUNu3wATa
325Please respect copyright.PENANAvdHGWDimjj
「從夢魘的目標來看,幾乎可以確定夢魘是我們學校的同學,甚至可能是我們班上的同學。」陳仰洋說,「你有沒有想過我們可以把她找出來?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAadGBjS26x4
325Please respect copyright.PENANAijJ9wflxhC
呂小婷輕輕搖頭,「找到也沒有用,我們不可能對她說夢裡的事情,否則我們的身分就會暴露。」325Please respect copyright.PENANANXzPNvmp6P
325Please respect copyright.PENANAOGFlQYCvAq
「我也是這麼想的,所以我們不談夢,只說你和那人的關係。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAxPQaUKqlf6
325Please respect copyright.PENANAu4OtzUDfAd
「甚麼……關係?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAUifTURnkmB
325Please respect copyright.PENANA6U2oPAgpIV
「我不知道。」陳仰洋搖搖頭說,「但我覺得你們之間肯定有問題,你想想,有甚麼可以令一個人每晚都扮演另一個人呢?。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAH7jmgPfFmj
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0SQCW3mmVF
「你的意思是,那個人很討厭我?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAZwt11FiIVM
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2AaACDGm7a
「又或者很喜歡你。」陳仰洋說,「只有強烈的愛或恨能讓人持續地想起某個人。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAkgioEOjzM5
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5tWIbaKd07
呂小婷想了想,忽然一笑,「最近我幾乎每晚都想起你喔。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAaOLx2uwVkx
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJhQpAaahDK
陳仰洋的心微微一跳,卻只是反了反白眼,「你只怕是在想怎麼使喚我吧?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAWeBYTRzC3E
325Please respect copyright.PENANAhIcH5evyGb
「你可是主動提出要協助我的,不是嗎?」少女眨眨眼睛,這時,她不只是呂小婷,也是朱槿。陳仰洋仿佛能看到兩個人漸漸重疊在一起。325Please respect copyright.PENANA8JTmdoEHrs
325Please respect copyright.PENANAdwysjZs46T
「那是你先說……不,算了。」陳仰洋搖搖頭,「真不公平。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAFzAaYjxrkG
325Please respect copyright.PENANANOR3gh6gr5
當時要陳仰洋阻止夢魘的人是呂小婷,所以對朱槿來說,陳仰洋確實是主動提出要協助她的。325Please respect copyright.PENANA0XXNCGHUQt
325Please respect copyright.PENANAP1DM724vqk
「你是甚麼時候看出來的?」呂小婷問。325Please respect copyright.PENANAv7f4XO5wnL
325Please respect copyright.PENANAX5HdQl0PHl
「甚麼時候呢?」陳仰洋沉吟半晌,「我也不太確定,從某個時候開始,總覺得你們有點相似,不過她更冷淡、果斷,而你更……麻煩一點。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAL3etZkZffZ
325Please respect copyright.PENANARDVEbmmr7v
「那……你喜歡那個多一點?」325Please respect copyright.PENANA06nXznQ7Sz
325Please respect copyright.PENANAPQzdWwMxyb
「都、都差不多吧……」325Please respect copyright.PENANAvaiH1GtvgD
325Please respect copyright.PENANAis6MImARxk
呂小婷輕輕一笑,「我更喜歡那邊的我,直來直往,無拘無束。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAc4qJcmyByC
325Please respect copyright.PENANABKgvlbTYUF
陳仰洋微微點頭,若有所思。325Please respect copyright.PENANAtvCn7yRuv9
325Please respect copyright.PENANAdFcFKIHg29
「想甚麼了?」325Please respect copyright.PENANARppNfVti69
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9V8LrmDW6a
「夢中可以實現願望,所以你會選擇做理想中的自己。若夢魘也有著相同的想法,那是不是代表你就是她想成為的人?」陳仰洋說:「在學校裡,哪個人會想成為你呢?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAFu7UGUg3Oh
325Please respect copyright.PENANAg0DZyOwsFo
「我怎麼可能知道?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAZBiKKMt8Bd
325Please respect copyright.PENANAkhEKRhsUYN
「那我們就一起把那個人找出來吧。」325Please respect copyright.PENANA0r8qlk54Hj
325Please respect copyright.PENANAXLg3LmdCeD
呂小婷嘆了一口氣,「找到又如何呢?」325Please respect copyright.PENANA3iZJwPkC8B
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5r9b8EyH76
「這不像你。」陳仰洋忽然說到,「我是說,不像夢那邊的你。」325Please respect copyright.PENANArrhQ2KN3w2
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFf8Ey6Xzo1
呂小婷怔了怔。325Please respect copyright.PENANAwP8ZYb9jOL
325Please respect copyright.PENANA4wH4lQVg7u
「我認識的那個她,不會想那麼多,她怎麼也會試一下,就算知道不行也會嘗試一下,絕對不會逃避。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAeQkEaFTRxZ
325Please respect copyright.PENANAcl6d9tyb35
呂小婷望著陳仰洋,目中露出了些許的不確定,「你覺得我在逃避?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAayzoWEMRpZ
325Please respect copyright.PENANApoZlyKwBVN
「這個問題只有你自己才能回答。」325Please respect copyright.PENANApDnqf1N4St
325Please respect copyright.PENANAbUWu2PsBDw
呂小婷低頭考慮了片刻,說:「好吧,告訴我,我應該怎麼辦?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAp2qlLl0xGU
