漆黑如墨,混沌如初,騰起的白霧不停翻滾,給黑暗平添些許神秘。52Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gilzlljso
這就是葉小叉每天晚上都會遇到的夢境。52Please respect copyright.PENANAbTJbDsQmoY
雖然腳步清晰,但整個身軀卻仿若鬼魂般,隱隱約約幾如透明。52Please respect copyright.PENANAr3CfVAqoOz
「在夢裏都跟鬼一樣,那我到底現在是不是人?」52Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ8FPShPCD
伸手摸向自己,卻透胸而出,葉小叉只能苦笑一聲,繼續前行。52Please respect copyright.PENANA8LHVR31zHD
踏入白霧,氤氳消散,眼前出現一座詭異的建築。52Please respect copyright.PENANAW6LZxLkz02
說是建築,其實就是一座不大的房子,但是房頂卻如尖刺般又高又尖,與大殷朝的任何建築風格都不一樣。52Please respect copyright.PENANAvK3qusCtQ9
這還不是最奇怪的。52Please respect copyright.PENANAKbNZFJhQju
因為只要是正常的房子,都會有門和窗戶。52Please respect copyright.PENANAnoDRmHCkbd
但是這裏,卻只有門。52Please respect copyright.PENANAhlpicouHBC
「奇怪的夢,奇怪的房子。」52Please respect copyright.PENANAyoxFCdl4zo
這就是葉小叉唯一的評價。52Please respect copyright.PENANAxOGAcJa3Qo
但他也只能繼續上去推門,因為對於一個連窗戶都沒有的房子,要想進去只能推門。52Please respect copyright.PENANAWMe4nPxSED
我這是在哪兒?為什麽非要進去不可?52Please respect copyright.PENANArGWh1tQnWy
葉小叉不知道,只知道夢裏除了一片漆黑,就只有這棟房子。52Please respect copyright.PENANA0C0KHlDDVY
左腳抵地,右腳上前,身呈弓形,雙手抵門。52Please respect copyright.PENANAkLJGaPeHWo
「喝!」52Please respect copyright.PENANAwHa7LPuGil
一聲爆喝,門紋絲不動。52Please respect copyright.PENANAS5Bh3OBiz5
「喝!」52Please respect copyright.PENANAPkLPmyHS2J
門板輕晃,卻只是抖落一些灰塵。52Please respect copyright.PENANA5KAxAKZgAk
葉小叉很有耐心,如同敲鐘的和尚般,一下又一下地推著。52Please respect copyright.PENANAgiqN7D7L1K
幸虧在夢裏似乎是沒有體力限製,否則葉小叉即使再有耐心,就這樣連推五年也會累死。52Please respect copyright.PENANAPF4C8coagv
不過,也不是沒有收獲。52Please respect copyright.PENANASBuJ64qp7l
不知推了多久,他無意之間發現,由於不停用力摩擦,腳底下原本斑駁、布滿灰塵的地板變得鋥亮許多,而且上面還似乎刻著幾個字。52Please respect copyright.PENANAd0lcXqoihV
葉小叉蹲下身子,仔細地辨認著。52Please respect copyright.PENANAxl03KuUyzM
【鎮魔獄】52Please respect copyright.PENANAjcXpBHMEDp
數日之後,葉莊「明性齋」。52Please respect copyright.PENANAQVlbIbeeCk
「這人是誰?怎麽眼睛蒙著黑布條?」52Please respect copyright.PENANA9H6pI5TGsZ
「不會是新來的學子吧?」52Please respect copyright.PENANAyEdyzeShmH
「不可能!你有見過瞎子會念書的嗎?」52Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6jYsm3bUR
一時間,底下響起嗡嗡議論聲,頭戴黑色四方巾的學生們紛紛交頭接耳著。52Please respect copyright.PENANAm5ChNm7oOx
「肅靜!」52Please respect copyright.PENANA6zvvE4munw
隨著呼尺猛地往臺案一拍,屋內頓時鴉雀無聲。52Please respect copyright.PENANApLBzc0rjgs
「爾等可是讀書人,而非市井饒舌婦,如此吵鬧,成何體統!」52Please respect copyright.PENANAVqasUk1kFJ
鄭老夫子手撫白須,不怒自威。52Please respect copyright.PENANAjSVuhDtrdY
見眾人終於消停,這才繼續道:52Please respect copyright.PENANAEOWuHWTzRt
「現在要向諸位介紹一位新人,名喚葉小叉,五年前曾是為師弟子,可惜不幸意外眼盲,如今來齋裏幫襯一二。」52Please respect copyright.PENANA4O1s0bLxD0
話音剛落,葉小叉便上前一步,躬身向滿堂學子施禮作揖。52Please respect copyright.PENANAD1EpFvx0pW
「在下葉小叉,如今雖然目不識物,但還能幫先生及齋裏做些事情,希望日後諸位多多關照!」52Please respect copyright.PENANAWSvgLiEBIN
鄭老夫子看向葉小叉,眼裏閃過一絲憐憫之色。52Please respect copyright.PENANAp1BnZ0Cs7s
他轉身拿出一根褐色木杖,遞到葉小叉手中。52Please respect copyright.PENANAzr4wq5JyEe
「小叉,這根尋路杖算是為師的一點心意,主要是讓你來回趕路方便些。」52Please respect copyright.PENANAVVJ6WbZmBq
葉小叉並沒有推辭,只是點了點頭收下尋路杖,默默地退到一邊。52Please respect copyright.PENANASWyn5qzsTu
其實他心裏清楚,鄭老夫子要他來齋裏幫襯只不過是托辭,真實用意還是借機繼續教導他,如此殷殷關懷,除了嫂子之外就只有鄭老夫子了。52Please respect copyright.PENANAxtvOHJneab
「既然大家都到齊了,那今日為師就來講授中洲列國之事......」52Please respect copyright.PENANAT9JUuoYQWZ
鄭老夫子清了清嗓子,拿起書卷道:「兩百余年前,中洲並非僅有殷、乾、寧、梁、燕五大國,而有著兩百余大小國並存,諸國之間雖然紛爭不斷,但人文繁盛,互通有無......」52Please respect copyright.PENANAs3hauS6wQq
「及至大殷建德三十九年,也就是兩百余年前,神秘妖霧突起,自四海之外向中洲侵襲,不過旬日,大半中洲便已淪陷,無數邦國一夜之間灰飛煙滅。」52Please respect copyright.PENANAghakgkvoTg
「此妖霧之災來歷神秘,據說所過之處人畜草木皆亡,如不加以遏製,必釀滅世之災!」52Please respect copyright.PENANAjsX2fdXkIy
「幸賴我大殷與乾、寧、梁、燕諸大國聯手,加之五大聖人齊出,方能暫保中洲腹地無虞......」52Please respect copyright.PENANApBXYdvrZn5
「但經此救世之役後,妖霧便再無寸進,而五大聖人也神秘消失。」52Please respect copyright.PENANAvEFBdvne4i
「為了紀念救世五聖人,聖朝欽定每年的臘月十三為『祭聖日』。」52Please respect copyright.PENANA7QPt6Sw5Xc
說罷,鄭老夫子合起書卷,整理衣冠,神情莊重,面東而拜。52Please respect copyright.PENANAJsQEkU4PDM
東方太嬴山,相傳為大殷聖人【神陽君】所居之所。52Please respect copyright.PENANAokHQLe08sG
身後諸學子,連同葉小叉,紛紛跟隨鄭老夫子下跪遙拜,口誦祭文。52Please respect copyright.PENANAGSCmMAiSU3
「吾等願效聖賢無私救世之壯舉,為天地立心,為生民立命,為往聖繼絕學,為萬世開太平!」52Please respect copyright.PENANA5JPeJByhfj
錚錚誓言,響徹雲霄。52Please respect copyright.PENANAilmbZyWbNV
整日待在「明性齋」,葉小叉並沒有幫上什麽忙,反而和其他學子一起聆聽鄭老夫子的授課。52Please respect copyright.PENANANE5pFCNunK
臨近散學之際,鄭老夫子特意將幾名學子召集起來,指著葉小叉仔細叮囑道:「小叉眼部有恙,尚不能視物,你們幾個剛好與小叉同路,務必送他安然回家。」52Please respect copyright.PENANA9vgAKNAor9
「先生放心,小叉兄身為我『明性齋』之人,與學生形如同硯,護送之責本就理所應當!」52Please respect copyright.PENANAeFmkP0qYvL
為首一微胖青衫少年,面帶微笑慨然應允。52Please respect copyright.PENANA6rcx9weKbR
數名學子將葉小叉隱然護在其中,在三三兩兩的行人之中尤為矚目。52Please respect copyright.PENANAJb1zRQcuxV
「諸位同窗不用麻煩,小叉其實可以自己回去的......」52Please respect copyright.PENANAfNx8kObI9a
雖然眼睛看不見,但葉小叉還是能感受到在路人異樣眼光下的尷尬。52Please respect copyright.PENANAxXA1EccFUa
「小叉兄說什麽吶!」52Please respect copyright.PENANAhCtUg16tw9
剛才那位微胖青衫少年上前一步,用手拍了下葉小叉的肩膀。52Please respect copyright.PENANAC5D1bIzBK0
「大家身為同學,一起回家本來就很正常,再說我們幾個都是順路,無所謂麻不麻煩的.......對了,我叫王大志,先生給我取了個字叫伯言!」52Please respect copyright.PENANAmxQ7yq0mOo
「先生給你取的字真高雅,可惜啊.......」52Please respect copyright.PENANABX0I6sEz5D
另一個清瘦少年輕搖了搖頭,壞笑道:「你那富態模樣可不太相配啊!」52Please respect copyright.PENANAkaNqvxm9Ex
「哎,許清崧你什麽意思?」52Please respect copyright.PENANA0SsEPqRtoy
王大志眼一瞪,作勢就要撲過去。52Please respect copyright.PENANA4VvGuZvW1E
「先生有言,君子動口不動手,你這樣可有失風度啊!」52Please respect copyright.PENANAXHCt8mf62l
許清崧嬉笑著躲開了王大志,這兩人你來我往的逗鬧,頓時引得眾人哈哈大笑。52Please respect copyright.PENANACJuwqOqCi5
雖然沒能親眼目睹,但耳邊傳來溫馨而又輕快的笑鬧之聲,還是令葉小叉不禁莞爾。52Please respect copyright.PENANAh5vHrRLvvK
其實,不管能不能考上功名,單就這單純而又真摯的同窗之情,還是挺不錯的!52Please respect copyright.PENANAfZn5YIgeto
