靖瑤將女祭讓進原先準備給她的位置，才開口道：「如諸位大人所見，女祭娘娘已助我將酒器易主，詳情暫且揭過，眼下，陸封已墜入長夢，施加在娘親身上的術法也已失效，靖瑤來此便是打算接著與諸位說明，解開『厄魘襄陵』一事。」82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZtFexzm5S
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHrAg3bYwj
幾位冥府的主子覷了覷女祭，心知許多疑問諸如「酒器是否為真」、「如何易主得手」、「當真解開天后夢魘」等，都無需再問，女祭在此，便是靖瑤所言最佳擔保，金剛不壞。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8QvxfX4Aa
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKaXUpxrHT
簡言之，靖瑤將在女祭的指導下重新打磨酒器，將陸封鑿進酒器底部的相柳遺骸磨去，而後再次催出酒水，催出一滴美夢，投入忘川，消弭無盡繁衍的惡夢。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjmzxJQbjD

「娘娘，晚輩有一問。」宣鑒打岔，計畫聽上去無甚過失，卻有一事難解，「忘川裡攪和著萬千凡人魂魄的夢魘，僅用一場好夢，當真能消弭？」畢竟，何謂「好夢」因人而異。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVVk36fOXG
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOLgUCmiMy
女祭一笑：「霽同我提起過你，說你是個怠惰使用才華的。」宣鑒面上五顏六色轉過一輪後，才聽女祭答道：「確實，逐一洗淨魂魄，沒有任何法子比『萬法清平』迅速有效，可我們要做的是釜底抽薪，以施術之人的美夢，彌平他所代去的『厄魘襄陵』的根。」82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRNzMWMbPN
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVMCROMJ8Y
堂上眾人齊刷刷看向靖瑤，施術之人正是陸封，若說誰能取來陸封之夢，靖瑤當是不二人選。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiDmGwyk0L
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyS9GfqM4o
靖瑤被看得渾身不自在，雖已下訂決心協助，可此時猛然壓下的重擔，仍令她有些喘不上氣。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2tJ8Wcgol
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrZIRIDd9h
女祭伸手搭上靖瑤手臂，予以安撫，這位難以捉摸的太古神祇，似乎很是喜愛天家小郡主。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVL2cfinVs
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a9gVKBEJo
她道：「莫擔心，最棘手的妳已辦妥，餘下的定能妥善處理，華胥寶珠能助妳完成。」82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbViE67Q6Pp
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GYTVTOtJT
靖瑤回以幾不可見的輕輕點頭。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OrKJ6vtkh
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63eYK1EVWx
當日稍晚，不省人事的陸封，被五花大綁地送至靖瑤房內，一同等在裡邊的還有女祭。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vKgXSj1TQ
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOfGtO5dWk
「娘娘，晚輩有一事相求。」靖瑤如是說。
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQPunohLUV
近來，陸封總感覺靖瑤有些陌生，他倆依舊一塊兒上學，下學一塊兒看夕陽，偶爾一塊兒躲懶，一切如常，但不知為何，陸封覺得靖瑤嬌俏的笑容裡，掩藏著一絲陰鬱。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLydRi04RwB
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzVymEID9r
「郡主近期可有什麼事煩心？」苦思多日，陸封實在想不明白，終於決定開口詢問，兩人此時正並肩躺在元靈池畔，碩大的優缽羅花稍稍探出池水，陰影正好足夠為二人遮擋陽光。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7L7ag6WTv
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0cZ7jteH4
陸封道：「若有，不妨說與我聽，多一人思量，便多一分機會。」82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTvgFrclIs
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAkT3xBRVq
靖瑤似乎沒料到陸封問起，大為驚訝，反問道：「封哥哥為何突然問起？我看上去不高興了嗎？什麼時候？現下？」反應之大讓陸封微微一驚。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcnR82J9ZQ
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rjt6lLoPM
但他沒做他想，解釋道：「不，不是現下，是……近幾日不時覺著郡主似乎心事重重，才有此一問，若郡主並未心煩，再好不過。」語畢淺淺一笑。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdTEUOYMie
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNAFHPSIyR
「……沒事兒！」靖瑤笑了，異常燦爛，她道：「多謝封哥哥關懷，哎呀，難為你關心我啦，先前我這臉色不知得多難看呢，竟讓封哥哥都看不下去啦。」82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBcwuVZgOv
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUzlmrllVe
陸封緬甸地撓撓鼻樑，道：「沒的事，郡主一如既往好看，不過是忽然想起，從前若有掛心郡主，卻都甚少問出，如今想來有些不妥，應當改過。」82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUDQbfbK9z
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBtspfEzOx
「……」82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V8HDIKCT6
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMKBkyhLef
「郡主？」靖瑤沒回應，陸封不禁出聲。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9rIoZZ78A
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFFRRNo7tI
「封哥哥，有一事想問問你。」靖瑤突兀道。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTsmH8fNMz
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcVso2WJJj
「當然，郡主請講。」82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ221Jjopgwi
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNLAIhwkJj
「封哥哥至今人生裡，何時尤為愜意、最為快樂？」82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhje1qvf10h
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNavqs0mjHp
微風牽起陸封微笑，吹動優缽羅花，日光灑進他雙眸。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyx5zb4FRI
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OISmgieYS
「此時。」他說。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2pYOL4WfS
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1XOgKiqDC
「……陪我小睡片刻可好，封哥哥？」靖瑤再次生硬地轉移話題。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SGORepDY1
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmpdit68qf
日光傾斜時，靖瑤將一枚寶珠放進熟睡的陸封懷中，一縷微光自陸封胸口滲出，鑽進華胥寶珠裡邊，七彩流光自內部點亮鏤空的寶珠，增添快活的氣息。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cmko0tyne
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbbKFpSmN3
眼淚一滴一滴墜落，打在寶珠上，打在陸封臉頰上。

幾日後清晨，忘川邊擠滿人潮，眾人拋下工作，不顧危險聚集到川邊，只為一句傳言：「今日厄魘襄陵得解。」這流言轉了幾手已然面目全非，究竟是誰要解、如何解已傳出數十版本。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpWU0TRwiz
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxPpelPSld
須臾，鑊湯地獄大門敞開，當中步出一位身著粉色襦裙的姑娘，只見她緩步朝忘川前進，雙手攏在袖中，低頭不語，只顧邁步，眾人卻紛紛為她讓道，直抵川邊。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVKVpUbfnt
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2fJiAveyO
腥紅的川水幾乎拍到靖瑤鞋尖，她站在川邊許久，直至人群隱約騷動，方才自懷中取出一物——兕角酒器。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6lfDPbmma
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf89y6yLqm
她將酒器平舉胸前，另一手作勢虛抬，一束花應此而生，紫黑的花朵攀出壺嘴，片刻盛放，無風搖曳，抖出一顆朝露，滑過花瓣，顫巍巍地掛在尖端。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEGldjf6qP
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMoB7fui9P
這是寂言花，陸封頭一次送給靖瑤的花。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZyD4bgyik
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6bG15jkCL
朝露墜落，眾人屏氣凝神的目光中，露珠入水的聲響格外清晰。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNIey0Bf0i
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mM78CYtbl
咚。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn1TZ5W6kR
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKzVNMDfpw
與之相伴的嘆息卻只靖瑤一人聽見，似悲似喜，似泣訴，似釋然。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDbsRI1wQ0
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEShDKcnnFz
而後，以第一聲嘆息為引，忘川內接連響開喟然長嘆，此起彼落，遍佈川水的腥紅，彷彿乘著低語升起、消散，污濁的顏色一點一滴褪去。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb7T7nxdmt
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs9LMNXw8d
不多時，忘川重新化作清清長河，久違地。川邊眾人又沉寂了片刻，才爆出如雷歡呼，如釋重負的宣洩，浪潮般淹沒靖瑤，她脫力地席地跪坐，酒器隨手扔在地上。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZdtuipBWv
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0NjU8Wyx4
「孩子，妳做得很好。」靖瑤感覺到一隻手停放在自己頭上，剛進到目光裡的白皙赤足，說明了來人身份。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wkvxXeNzo
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE22TceEnLf
怎麼能說做得好呢？她做得一點都不好，她把那名陰鬱少年，畢生中唯一明媚的時光，投進忘川裡了，那些關於自己的一切，將永遠留在冥府了。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtCDV4qVRZ
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vActrpDtb
陸封再也不認識她了。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiJMdWZKTu
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEiSnjQtGw
萬法清平依然高掛，白光溫和依舊。靖瑤不禁心想，綰兒姐姐看向光輪時的心境，也如同此時的她嗎？82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnBT4d4Mlk
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8quNkPRCik
哭聲響起前一刻，女祭柔軟而厚重的外袍落下，將嬌小的姑娘嚴實地罩住，遮蔽川邊數以萬計陌生的、螫人的視線，將她崩斷的傷悲緊緊藏掖。82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPiYKzTwt0
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr9Pox0Lyp
外袍上殘留的軟香餘溫，卻不能為黑暗中的靖瑤帶去半點安慰。
