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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAwUGgjWm1Ks
這就是葉小叉每天晚上都會遇到的夢境。54Please respect copyright.PENANAqYAJLrMRcq
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAxmi9juoEem
「在夢裏都跟鬼一樣,那我到底現在是不是人?」54Please respect copyright.PENANAxskhQoqTIw
伸手摸向自己,卻透胸而出,葉小叉只能苦笑一聲,繼續前行。54Please respect copyright.PENANAwLGoCSvVWu
踏入白霧,氤氳消散,眼前出現一座詭異的建築。54Please respect copyright.PENANAwCYNumcGLe
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAJcKiZBQ1mw
這還不是最奇怪的。54Please respect copyright.PENANAnj0piSRUQl
因為只要是正常的房子,都會有門和窗戶。54Please respect copyright.PENANALheMAtYuoF
但是這裏,卻只有門。54Please respect copyright.PENANAlSE8mCVBA3
「奇怪的夢,奇怪的房子。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAstHU8F6fQ3
這就是葉小叉唯一的評價。54Please respect copyright.PENANA89IjGXsCCN
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAnRUWyFBMwp
我這是在哪兒?為什麽非要進去不可?54Please respect copyright.PENANA6cXXxTz7hn
葉小叉不知道,只知道夢裏除了一片漆黑,就只有這棟房子。54Please respect copyright.PENANAu1T6vBvGJ5
左腳抵地,右腳上前,身呈弓形,雙手抵門。54Please respect copyright.PENANAqEkR8c9SFC
「喝!」54Please respect copyright.PENANAWLHFTd1za9
一聲爆喝,門紋絲不動。54Please respect copyright.PENANAT3qAKBQz1I
「喝!」54Please respect copyright.PENANAZotvjiCziF
門板輕晃,卻只是抖落一些灰塵。54Please respect copyright.PENANAOtJrWSxNW8
葉小叉很有耐心,如同敲鐘的和尚般,一下又一下地推著。54Please respect copyright.PENANAqEQkExajhb
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAipDyGjW9mF
不過,也不是沒有收獲。54Please respect copyright.PENANAzjZtLhNvXZ
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANA7R8hrFDN2f
葉小叉蹲下身子,仔細地辨認著。54Please respect copyright.PENANAM8xBVqYNFz
【鎮魔獄】54Please respect copyright.PENANAO61LOxDPqb
數日之後,葉莊「明性齋」。54Please respect copyright.PENANAqvptXyveF2
「這人是誰?怎麽眼睛蒙著黑布條?」54Please respect copyright.PENANA7gJOOkEnMY
「不會是新來的學子吧?」54Please respect copyright.PENANATUMjbgxfnj
「不可能!你有見過瞎子會念書的嗎?」54Please respect copyright.PENANAfA6OH9CywB
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANABUJllb4VG9
「肅靜!」54Please respect copyright.PENANA9RASg4n9Fa
隨著呼尺猛地往臺案一拍,屋內頓時鴉雀無聲。54Please respect copyright.PENANAhKigngf3sw
「爾等可是讀書人,而非市井饒舌婦,如此吵鬧,成何體統!」54Please respect copyright.PENANAEx5x8Cqk7O
鄭老夫子手撫白須,不怒自威。54Please respect copyright.PENANAuW98ybb8GV
見眾人終於消停,這才繼續道:54Please respect copyright.PENANAb7QIKoUzxO
「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。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAjZel0ovXS9
話音剛落,葉小叉便上前一步,躬身向滿堂學子施禮作揖。54Please respect copyright.PENANAkzm73Swupg
「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!」54Please respect copyright.PENANA6mQ4VbVZkk
鄭老夫子看向葉小叉,眼裏閃過一絲憐憫之色。54Please respect copyright.PENANAw9AgJj2uZS
他轉身拿出一根褐色木杖,遞到葉小叉手中。54Please respect copyright.PENANAm4ZMxujASl
「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。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAypyLpOPBI0
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAuKxNGZitRU
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAWpRilirrav
「既然大家都到齊了,那今日為師就來講授中洲列國之事......」54Please respect copyright.PENANAMx78uNOlZf
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......」54Please respect copyright.PENANApZGFwekSRh
「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。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAyPAFEuCEhr
「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!」54Please respect copyright.PENANA9IKMknmOh9
「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......」54Please respect copyright.PENANAXIFPEc7lnq
「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。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAl9jLZrJ2LS
「為了紀念救世五聖人,聖朝欽定每年的臘月十三為『祭聖日』。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAMb6F8cWZbM
說罷,鄭老夫子合起書卷,整理衣冠,神情莊重,面東而拜。54Please respect copyright.PENANAzCCrVy0umk
東方太嬴山,相傳為大殷聖人【神陽君】所居之所。54Please respect copyright.PENANA0BJNlWyVlc
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAAbqYNd0Nd3
「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!」54Please respect copyright.PENANAcGvUovEqUb
錚錚誓言,響徹雲霄。54Please respect copyright.PENANAutxproJSxr
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANA4lm1ViByTf
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。」54Please respect copyright.PENANA9oA9cjjKp9
「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!」54Please respect copyright.PENANAa7Aick9lt7
為首一微胖青衫少年,面帶微笑慨然應允。54Please respect copyright.PENANAd4c3f5oXB9
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANA3AIfFj7qkd
「諸位同窗不用麻煩,小叉其實可以自己回去的......」54Please respect copyright.PENANAMjE10Lhw1r
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAUPTQbItSas
「小叉兄說什麽吶!」54Please respect copyright.PENANAJuvGRBTtIK
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANA6sAejb8SzK
「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!」54Please respect copyright.PENANAdfFVaNIzMS
「先生給你取的字真高雅,可惜啊.......」54Please respect copyright.PENANAK8QeiaXu6l
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!」54Please respect copyright.PENANA8giPaBaji7
「哎,許清崧你什麽意思?」54Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ60rdsCRp
王大志眼一瞪,作勢就要撲過去。54Please respect copyright.PENANAfsO5AGrchL
「先生有言,君子動口不動手,你這樣可有失風度啊!」54Please respect copyright.PENANAWGDeSi95Lf
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAceWvy30KNx
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。54Please respect copyright.PENANAwuNALKIdcu
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!54Please respect copyright.PENANA8mvaCPIU5t
