扇子是白玉的柄，織金的面，繡的是雪景翩翩。離白一襲白袍，潑墨山水的織染。不見狐耳和狐尾，一頭銀色長髮也用術法變成黑色，斜斜的簪著紫玉，挽了個髻，這番收拾讓他少了幾分妍麗，卻多了幾分沉靜。腰間白玉帶掛著蓴帶彩的玉佩，雕的是個古體的離字。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtyoEB5r3F

　　應玄仍是那襲玄衣，只是腰間多了柄劍，背後多了個行囊。看著離白，面無表情，只是眼中滿是寵溺和無奈。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaZh9fClqQ

　　他倆日昃才到這小城，在酒樓開了個上房便出來走走。這小城算不上繁華，卻也是一片熱鬧景象。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZjnN0Mu8n
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKVgeZRtR0
　　隨處有些小攤販，也有酒樓茶館。這不，遇見個道人。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoWKw2kQoN
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcgH8cZMsT
　　那道人看上去有些福態，長相憨厚老實，看了離白一眼連忙低頭擺手，滿臉通紅：「不、不敢當……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf3C4uV55l
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w4LZOOyYO
　　離白玩了好一會兒，人都要貼上去了，應玄眼神一暗，一把把人拉回來。離白轉頭見到他的臉色陰沉，噗哧一笑，伸手揉揉他的臉。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6dcZFDCKM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tasXnqhca
　　應玄看著離白，哀怨之情溢於言表。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8REmTbTmx3
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwwww07oBI
　　離白縱聲大笑，拉著人就走，這下應玄也裝不下去了，嘴角不禁也溢出一絲笑意。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo2dzdeyKT
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSPzKYw9P1
　　「玄，你知道麼，我喜歡讓人算名字。」離白隨手買了一支冰糖葫蘆，含了一顆在嘴裡，眼角眉梢滿是歡喜：「我喜歡他們算不出來，然後你一次一次的說，我的名字是怎麼來的。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnar5tHYbdP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgpUClcudL
　　應玄腳步一頓，拉住他。走在前頭的離白一個轉身，嫣然一笑。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC3CUyuSRd

　　「小傢伙，你是辛巳年秋天生的，庚辰辛巳白臘金，白臘金遇上丙寅爐中火才好，遇水則貴。辛巳喜秋喜火，正好是自然清貴的命格。」應玄笑了笑，順了順懷中白狐的長毛：「道號就叫離白吧，離屬火，白屬金。正巧我叫應玄，應字屬土，玄字屬水。火生土，土生金，金生水——水生木，木又生火——五行相生，生生不息。多好，你名中有我，我名中有你。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTjPeQl8He

　　因為路上吃了不少點心，晡食就用的晚，也吃不多。他倆回到酒樓，讓小二上了幾盤小菜，一壺酒水，撿著喜歡的吃了。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqYfBrugb8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINSxwwZ4jM
　　酒是店家自釀的果酒，香香甜甜，沒太多酒味，卻是後勁極大。幾杯黃湯下肚，離白頰邊飄上一朵紅雲，倒也不是醉了，只是眼神有些迷離。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQeAQ1TGC8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NiExlCNXu
　　有言是酒不醉人人自醉，應玄見離白微醉之態，一口乾了杯中之物，又上了一壺竹葉青。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnGvpDNdJR

　　「這小城裡沒有夜市的，你想逛哪？」應玄替離白滿上酒：「早點休息吧，明兒再逛。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mcw3z5Q2c

　　城外就是一片樹林，伸手不見五指，萬籟俱寂。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGTir1StlB

　　「要出事了。」離白突然笑道，打破了寂靜。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM05dFaFN9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4I9bY36mQ
　　「……白，別鬧。」應玄扶額，輕輕將劍彈出劍鞘。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONTqPv3g4Y
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeidtXPijO
　　樹林是不可能寂靜無聲的，即使是在最深的夜裡。總是有夜行的動物行動，即使沒有，也會有小溪澗水之聲。這樹林靜謐的可怕，一片死寂。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26oWwTkRAs
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuexGPLMNfP
　　突然一道白影掠過樹林。原本就陰沉的氣氛又多了幾分森冷。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoMpIzygMn
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvIBWlabVy
　　不知不覺離白又恢復一頭銀絲，尾巴沒有出現，但狐耳在頭上輕輕顫動。也許為了是增加感官能力。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKjw6zv5Tu

　　銀髮將空氣暈染成柔和的白色，宛如月光。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RtSJjcTqR

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ecC34IJZO
　　「是他呢。」離白輕笑，接過應玄遞過來的白玉燭台。燭臺是一體成型的，雕著一隻似龍非龍，似蛇非蛇的動物。燭台上立著一根約莫手指長的紅燭。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEkh23ysxI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVVQ62utIu
　　離白指尖一彈，一朵青色的火焰在指間跳躍靈動。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbUm6YUizR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiGEMOQMiH
　　他緩緩地，想要點燃燭焰。很慢很慢，彷彿在等些什麼。他嘴角帶著戲謔的笑意，而應玄只是笑著看著。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZWPwLGWx5
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYL40aQT0o
　　就在要點燃之際，說時遲那時快，一陣強烈的紅光席捲整座樹林，目不可視物。光芒中有一隻爪子迅速伸向蠟臺。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1XfLRGLTq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0J7tClves
　　然而比那爪子更快的是應玄的手。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoFVFcwTrn
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOYNupS1Ab
　　瞬間一切又恢復黑暗，彷彿一切都從未發生。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FouhYEcMv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyZaz1Ul5q
　　「燭九陰，這是待客之道麼？」離白笑語盈盈。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbkIacCQ4B
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh8ZdrHjNd
　　「擾人清夢，什麼狗屁客人。」沖天的紅光消失後，取而代之的是站在他們面前的一名高瘦青年。青年長相清雋，一身黑衣，衣服上繡著同那燭臺一般的動物——燭龍，燭九陰。眼睛上蒙著黑布條。說出的話跟高雅的外表打扮毫不相干。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbgMIw1yHB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkXINept15
　　「你在等我們？」應玄開口，劍眉微蹙。他倆的行程絕對沒有外漏，只是燭九陰不大不小也算個神，他倆也沒特別藏著掩著，推算一下便知了。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtptd03wh3
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ9L3F1dSn
　　「廢話，不然老子吃飽撐著？」他沒好氣的翻白眼。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeEoyBvtOY
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK6EU4tqgL
　　「你好好一個山神，不待在自己的地方，做什麼來神州？」離白又從應玄手裡拿過那燭臺，明知故問道。燭九陰的眼神就隨著那燭臺移動。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsBQbzfI6x
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wD01KFXSf
　　鍾山之神，名曰燭陰，視為晝，瞑為夜，吹為冬，呼為夏，不飲，不食，不息，息為風。身長千里，在無啟之東。其為物，人面，蛇身，赤色，居鐘山下。*3405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP4DFL1qeO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40FJZpK8ps
　　「我還以為有好玩的呢，結果是你，真無趣。」離白因為喝了點酒，講話更加肆無忌憚。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoklj5WsSQc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDy83HPqoS
　　「是我怎麼了？」燭九陰翻了翻白眼：「我就是在這等著，順便睡一覺，不行麼？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfekUY2qiGR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ47j9OkUYJ
　　離白噗哧一笑：「沒不行啊，我就是下山送送貨，再帶點上山，順路吵你起床唄。」睡著便伸出手：「你的東西我刻好了，法陣在燭臺下面。」說著展示了一下，果然在燭臺下方有個精巧的陣法。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAhMmynihc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqczTt4FR9J
　　「這陣法是讓你收斂力量用的，睡前點蠟燭，可讓鍾山煙霧繚繞，形成殺陣，就不會有不長眼的東西吵到你啦。」離白笑了笑：「只是你記得，你醒了燭火就熄，要供養燭臺七七四十九天才能再點上，你可別貪眠。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENY2n8XY3Z
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUAgqHgaXT
　　天道運行都是這樣的，有利必有弊，不會有萬無一失的法器，即使是由眾所皆知的三界第一玉匠所製。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE7r5U23tD
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CL2jwF7X9
　　燭龍也知道這個道理，語氣稍有和緩，遞過一個錦囊，接過燭臺：「知道啦，下回需要再找你。」把玩一番又補上一句：「雕工真不錯，這生意我不虧。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqeOWJ7h05
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWpyKPMnFO
　　離白正檢查錦囊裡的東西呢，聽到燭九陰的話便抬起頭：「我倒是虧了，那玉燭臺花了我五天，下次你可要多換點玉給我。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGphSc4pNXI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbsd9cP24O
　　燭九陰不禁氣急反笑：「材料是我的，你不過動點刀！我存了幾萬年美玉都給你了！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0JT9n6Vp9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8adT5qlfd4
　　「價錢我說的算。」離白挑眉：「不然下次你找別人啊？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oLJHI8KfD
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UxHMeACii
　　「你你你你……」燭九陰氣的一口氣喘不過來，指著離白你了半天也沒說出個所以然。離白見他的窘樣不禁捧腹大笑，應玄見他開心了才開始打圓場。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wzgz7mJpI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS0yvXeBKR
　　好不容易送走了燭九陰。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPywnB9R3I
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLAgXVBf0P
　　天已半白。兩人抬頭望著天邊微微透出的晨光，樹林的靜謐隨著燭九陰的離去，恢復了生氣，漸漸的有了聲響。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF8pZyJzyM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcexJ05rSyv
　　離白笑了，笑得燦爛耀眼，勝過晨曦萬分，一雙桃花眼流盼生輝。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRzJUnmJtV
