「你們後悔了麼嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKjMhqgRok
這句話迴盪於林秀與林戎心底。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hwg0LjGeH
夜深，林戎向唐順討了酒、走出屋外找了能看見月光的巨石盤坐於上，對月獨酌。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMMFpY0s0n
來到異地，涅烏帕爾自與兩名丐幫弟子相遇後便不透聲色觀察對方言行。，此時他放慢步伐、運功融入暗塵彌散夜色間，並跟隨林戎腳步來到巨石旁。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwmmTJn18p
他仰頭看對方在明月底身影，心底糾結半晌方要使力跳上石頭頂端，卻忽被其喃喃自語止住，仰頭便見重雲散去、透下銀亮。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGUEcyLPEt
月尊照清幽暗間萬物。
「後悔⋯⋯後悔⋯⋯」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60YjViCWnX
丐幫弟子雙眼凝視懷中酒甕，嘴裡叨唸：「也說不到後悔，就是覺得⋯⋯」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmRx4aDKMB
對方並未將話說完，然涅烏帕爾聽得懂那重複的詞。照顧幾人的唐門女人今日午時便有轉述這幾個字——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh9ggDAxpe
後悔。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHmusGAtCg
半身微晃的林戎看似喝醉，眸裡既清明又哀傷，卻又下刻轉為迷茫與困惑。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsft0UDVPAY
儘管言語不通，可人仍會在舉手投足間不經意洩漏心思、難以作假。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyNaUnZSQz
青年雖非擅長聽心，但由於妹妹柔蘭精於觀面、悉心教導，再加上明教教中弟子眾多、關係紛雜，身為少數化形術士的他既肩負崇高地位與責任、亦代表無處不被檢視，因此他多少學得如何辨別善惡真偽。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATsaGtdw8R
哪些是明尊之意？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEST00L90J
哪些又為凡人擅自臆測而言。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRF2HmqMHR
而就在其凝視林戎時後退踩到石砂，細微聲響驚動看似沉醉之人，只見對方立即回首質問：「是誰？」使涅烏帕爾不得不退去隱匿蹤跡術法、運功跳至大石上走到對方身邊，斷訊說出不標準的漢語：「戎⋯⋯我⋯⋯是⋯⋯」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpP8jXsIXg
「是你？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfNiq8p82v
林戎注意到是明教青年後怔了半晌才道：「坐吧。」示意其在自己身邊坐好並將酒杯遞給他，再問：「你的傷還好？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Tn61ejsl
涅烏帕爾接下後未應其疑問，反倒有些沉默，彷若思索良久方惴惴不安開口。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JaRX5AwRQ
「我們⋯⋯你們⋯⋯害——被放棄？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslrpE7y8ky
非意料裡之答覆使林戎頓時難以言喻心底感觸。無論是對方結巴不標準的漢語又或片段字句可拼湊出來之意，皆使男人心中浮現某種直覺，自己與涅烏帕爾皆對此等局面既慶幸也懊悔。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Dq1yqZuA
慶幸為他們都撿回小命，懊悔亦是他們都仍活著面對眼前難堪。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavi3G9GYqa
他不確定若丐幫長老們再次追來、質問甚至出言責備，自己是否還存有再次跳下山崖的堅決？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Uq3WysmE
見對方如此為難，涅烏帕爾眉間微皺，先放下酒正坐、抬頭凝望圓滿月尊，隨後雙手合十底在額首彎腰虔誠膜拜。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xV9XUn8ro
光明慈父，知義知情。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn3CfT7RZp
一拜又拜。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCbU5CxhIj
啟我澄心，蘇我明性。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CGVNZoSfw
青年於心中默念無數，最後才抬起頭直視滿面不解的林戎，講出稍早他與胞妹所討論的決議。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyxalfuOA7
「你們⋯⋯我們⋯⋯救，沒關係⋯⋯交出去。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImEGoH0jKm
月光映照人影成雙，青年本漆黑眸底似乎閃爍起光芒，口訴的語調極其緩慢卻堅定，甚至揚起嘴角、眉間逐漸透露了然。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33zmReCEyL
「大漠⋯⋯回⋯⋯亦死，留此，救命恩⋯⋯可還。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopinxxzqlJ
既說生亦何歡，哪需再問死亦何苦？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWjbPkf2wM
此生不過殘軀生於凡間，死也就熊熊聖火焚之歸回明尊坐下罷了，至少未愧對祂所教悔。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzW8T2rS5X
涅烏帕爾所言讓林戎完全怔住、如受重擊。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUDqNjKVHN
有恩必報、義不容辭。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqBQZL51nm
這不也是同他們丐幫所講之義嗎？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThthOlFefR
丐幫弟子眼中迷霧終於微微散去，朝明教弟子露出些許苦悶的笑容，搖頭無奈感嘆：「怎麼反倒被你提醒了啊？」說完再度將酒杯塞入對方掌中、斟滿純釀。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcwZ6F3AUs
這次涅烏帕爾終是接過酒盞，向林戎舉杯。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHAfNtG1v2
「喝了這杯，我們互沒相欠，誰也不須還甚麼。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s6e3Iukbu
兩人在明尊見證下共飲此時。
