Chapter5 你就是我的___嗎?129Please respect copyright.PENANAdMSvwpIKt0
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEZbR2RV2Yx
讓言師古稍微有些意外的是,通往祖墳的山路非常好走。129Please respect copyright.PENANAY2DfegvhyI
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0biYoQ7qCB
這時候他才意識到,言家畢竟是專業死人的,每年一個,日積月累之下路當然好走,而本來預期有可能造成一些麻煩的鳥獸飛蟲卻是在進山之後意外地完全沒有出現,聽不到山林間的浪潮,聽不見溪水潺潺,彷彿整座山都隔絕了一切一樣。129Please respect copyright.PENANAd9VoxXtMTj
129Please respect copyright.PENANA83HOQdIKDX
老林山間靜得可怕,言師古卻只是順著路前行。129Please respect copyright.PENANAWdfcjooiAZ
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEg15vy79V4
逐死,葬祖地──無論死在何方,無論如何死去,即使徹底沒了屍骸不得全屍,也至少會有個衣冠塚或者代表物事葬於墳地。129Please respect copyright.PENANAj8OyHeCnqy
129Please respect copyright.PENANAU7tG5IvLUv
這次大家都在一罈裡,處理起來速度也快。129Please respect copyright.PENANAZtqDeg6axM
129Please respect copyright.PENANAFhTCgkukCN
雖然不熟喪葬習俗,但言家人就像是早就料想到會有今日一樣,除了「人」必須整整齊齊以外一切從簡,言師古將磚瓦移開,安置妥善之後稍微留出個空間,再將其封回。129Please respect copyright.PENANA1dJ8134jHB
129Please respect copyright.PENANALFENXZF32j
那是他替自己留的,雖然也不知道日後是誰來葬他。129Please respect copyright.PENANAUYRE0WieGH
129Please respect copyright.PENANArUS9ImkIEs
他起身時不由得一陣恍惚。129Please respect copyright.PENANAJg7Dem3Xz6
129Please respect copyright.PENANASwfk5anAg9
儘管這一年間看似一切都有所進展,儘管他下意識地想要逃避家族只剩下自己一人這件事,但而今踏在山間一望而去,那驚人的墳墓數量卻讓他不能忽略──百年以來,死絕至此。129Please respect copyright.PENANAFyLRR05cLX
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z0sJfpwul
他總是覺得家裡那些長輩親戚脾氣古怪,為何明明知道自己總有一天會忽然被老天收走,卻還是人人抱持著向死而生的情懷不虛擲光陰?129Please respect copyright.PENANApAOsUPcJLI
129Please respect copyright.PENANAmXntcQUdAR
現在他似乎有些明悟。129Please respect copyright.PENANA0NQaBzF67M
129Please respect copyright.PENANAiKHyYxem6Q
庸庸碌碌不過一抔黃土,璀璨一生也不過一抔黃土。129Please respect copyright.PENANAYHPcgsj5Hu
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQzY0r1Vz27
那為什麼就不能好好把握生前的每一分每一秒,讓時間和歷史去紀錄自己曾經存在的痕跡呢?129Please respect copyright.PENANAk8ImCdDjjf
129Please respect copyright.PENANAuC7hKGIq7k
他一邊想著,一邊走著。他知道言家就剩自己了,他知道接下來死的就是自己了,即使情緒波動一向不大,但這種一步一步倒數計時的感覺仍然讓人心煩意亂,他就要滿十九了,能在那之前寫出讓自己滿意的作品嗎?能夠把店裡所有的訂單都處理完嗎?生命的消逝對言家人來說又代表著什麼?129Please respect copyright.PENANAgHDEKVXAg5
129Please respect copyright.PENANAaYfFLKHpMt
為何無論死在哪裡,最後都得下葬於祖地?129Please respect copyright.PENANAqjJtxWlg9l
129Please respect copyright.PENANADe9F6faBMW
為何即使沒有屍骨,也需要找個紀念物或者衣冠塚立在祖地?129Please respect copyright.PENANAL9g4ZiyHtF
129Please respect copyright.PENANA2jJrh8pX3o
……這是單純的習俗,還是刻意而成的習俗?129Please respect copyright.PENANABcXzRRoTjq
129Please respect copyright.PENANApuxbAdfFpo
他思維發散,一個踉蹌不知踢到何物,言師古以一個非常難堪的姿勢向前摔倒,勉強伸出手想要撐地,卻因為太過突然而變成有些搞笑的跪姿,頭也因為慣性作用碰到地上,也不知道衝撞了哪位先祖的墳。129Please respect copyright.PENANAkkEJXWr5qP
129Please respect copyright.PENANAAiN6WGSjZY
他扶起有些歪斜的眼鏡,往石碑一看,上面寫著言福吉之墓。129Please respect copyright.PENANAgH80vdSWHa
129Please respect copyright.PENANAp0tKXWrrRG
言家祖墳石碑數量並不多,也只有阿祖那代才有這習慣;接著幾代一切從簡,不立碑,僅有簡單的土堆方便讓人知道這裡有人佔去,請葬在其他地方。129Please respect copyright.PENANAyO6kf04xOH
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcqKcbdoLzo
可一般立碑的先祖卻不會如此省事只寫下姓名,雖說後人一切從簡,但當年言家也是烜赫一時,即使是家族中比較邊緣的分支,也應該寫上生於何年死於何月,由誰所立。129Please respect copyright.PENANA8KccXwXNRh
129Please respect copyright.PENANATB6iUbb3jH
言師古想不起來言福吉是何許人也,卻知道先祖的確有「福」字輩。129Please respect copyright.PENANAvEtU9b6XbL
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjd8OSG0QFQ
但無論是哪房哪輩,衝撞了先人安寢總該致歉,儘管言師古不信鬼神,今天畢竟是替親戚們入土之日,也該替他們打個招呼。129Please respect copyright.PENANAsnCxHOM8P6
129Please respect copyright.PENANA70lEDw252m
「後生言師古在此……」129Please respect copyright.PENANAUadTs7mhiR
129Please respect copyright.PENANAKjcCGIsK0n
言師古才剛開口,便意識到畫面中的不和諧之處。129Please respect copyright.PENANAt5T36X48bq
129Please respect copyright.PENANAN9GIxM6fXD
──言福吉的墓碑之後,有條小路。129Please respect copyright.PENANA2JLn4mthcG
129Please respect copyright.PENANAmPx6KeYFCh
雖然從未來過這裡,但言師古知道對言家人來說,墳地這裡便是終點,無論是自己的生命,或是每年下葬掃墓的時候都是如此,到這邊完事之後或是各回各家或是相約吃飯,不會再有其他行程。129Please respect copyright.PENANARFmA7GEbjU
129Please respect copyright.PENANARRAKmg6vH8
但這條小路卻突兀出現在他的視線之中。129Please respect copyright.PENANAzLXxXZQXiE
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7cm8kxWbiU
鬼使神差地,他小心翼翼地跨過了墓碑,往山林更深之處走去。129Please respect copyright.PENANAFiB4ekr46c
129Please respect copyright.PENANAFqHbXuIEgs
和之前的山路不同,這條路雖然地基仍在,卻能明顯感覺到沒有多少人走過這裡。雜草雖然還沒有長到阻礙行進的程度,可地上的碎石苔蘚與冰冷的石階卻莫名讓人有種寒意。129Please respect copyright.PENANABj77QzrI8D
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXP1mDaWY0M
他該停下來,立刻回頭。129Please respect copyright.PENANACBPXzlrpDO
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHsQN1iVYUg
他該注意到天色昏暗,已近逢魔。129Please respect copyright.PENANAOfIpLYGTev
129Please respect copyright.PENANAiIsbdX2nMv
可偏偏就像是有股聲音在催促著,催促著他必須在今天往更深更深的地方走去……129Please respect copyright.PENANAUCMW56pYFa
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOp1bR0tnfb
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjtwrO9KUux
言師古不知道自己是什麼時候失去對身體的控制,也不清楚這條路到底該通往何方。他走了很久很久,四周的景色沒有絲毫變化,可身體感受到的寒意卻渾然不像是盛夏時節登山時該有的溫度。
他渾渾噩噩,只知道要「向前向前」。在更深處,昔日鋪好的山道早已被大片大片的樹葉掩蓋,沒有登山設備的他卻像是感受不到身上各處的痠痛與疼痛一樣,穿梭在樹林之中,甚至不知不覺已經見到了一處有些陰溼的巨大洞穴。
太陽已經完全被烏雲吞噬,若是他尚有一絲清醒,此刻無論前方是否存在有大恐怖也早該折返,但言師古卻依舊仍然是被迷惑心智一樣,沒有一絲猶豫走入了黑暗。
地底通道頗為寬敞,不知是如何建成;之前那種芒刺在背、如鯁在喉的壓力卻莫名一鬆,通道內也意外的沒有任何生物活動的痕跡,直直的一條路雖然幾乎看不到盡頭,卻也沒有岔路混亂他的方向感。
不知走了多久,他終於看到了一座鳥居。
一座殘破不堪,完全無法與「連接人與神之間的俗世通道」劃上等號的暗紅色鳥居。129Please respect copyright.PENANAOCDFqACI9B
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZrPhH6BQpx
他的身體毫不停留,徑直穿行而過。129Please respect copyright.PENANAVdYE0mmCWN
129Please respect copyright.PENANAAFX7eTLyXS
殘破的暗紅色鳥居。129Please respect copyright.PENANA7smyMw0bkD
129Please respect copyright.PENANATwtg93Pgzp
斑駁的參道。129Please respect copyright.PENANA8O4uK755k4
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIZErPdnw5E
碎裂的狛犬像129Please respect copyright.PENANAg4OOnH3l4X
129Please respect copyright.PENANAG1FCrlIwfE
一座小型的正殿。129Please respect copyright.PENANAy78K74C9hW
129Please respect copyright.PENANAsnnPgAt76q
……以及漂浮於正殿之前的,閉著眼睛的絕美少女。129Please respect copyright.PENANA5RfRZWj0DJ
129Please respect copyright.PENANAqJZd3anuN6
少女身穿一件看起來華貴無比,黑白各半的正式和服。陰陽相對,日夜傾倒,金色的紋路化作雲化作浪,像是供少女踩踏驅使一樣;下擺自雲自浪而上,四名形狀神異的鳥獸穿梭於雲浪之間隱約可見,本該兇惡的獸種圖樣神情卻顯得溫順,活靈活現的模樣頗有怪異。129Please respect copyright.PENANAbHx9476iPA
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwTmYvp9DRv
言師古沒有半點和服知識,卻仍然在心中讚嘆眼前所見衣物和少女之美。129Please respect copyright.PENANAhzCJzmSjXw
129Please respect copyright.PENANAa9RoitqS5R
就像陶瓷娃娃一樣,看上去精緻……卻讓人不由自主想到易碎。129Please respect copyright.PENANAMAt3HWraxT
129Please respect copyright.PENANAoEssDquxzi
易碎易碎……美少女萬華鏡?129Please respect copyright.PENANAOQr3QN7wlN
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIH0LnUntky
──少女在他胡思亂想的瞬間睜開了眼睛。129Please respect copyright.PENANArVBw1szYcS
129Please respect copyright.PENANAhD8QnWtHfV
忽明,忽暗,圓潤的雙眼一邊深邃,一邊卻如鮮血一般艷紅。129Please respect copyright.PENANAeGNZ8kgfUU
129Please respect copyright.PENANALUAQWQNjwO
言師古感覺自己的心臟在那瞬間停了一拍。129Please respect copyright.PENANAIZVflVu03d
129Please respect copyright.PENANANNGQ2wE2oB
然後,常年的宅宅生活所導致的思維讓他不由自主地想到某個畫面……雖然現在氣氛不太對,雖然現在自己不能行動,但這個場景、這個睜眼、這個少女即將開口說話的定格感──沒錯,我就是你的御主!妳看起來一臉就是Caster的樣子!129Please respect copyright.PENANADrkFFPVf5h
129Please respect copyright.PENANAArDaXZ7CEY
少女居高臨下,一黑一紅的雙眼冷漠地望向言師古。129Please respect copyright.PENANAnAJtcWAwtH
129Please respect copyright.PENANAH8mKz2szWC
她開口說道──
「你著是阮阿孫嗎?」129Please respect copyright.PENANAWU2ayWWkyz
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPwAfvzOe7V
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3zYO0vs1hj
……蛤?129Please respect copyright.PENANAjJqLReWDlv
