島嶼是會用風呢喃的,或許你把自己埋進土裡就能聽見。171Please respect copyright.PENANANAeHvoNPa8
對生從島嶼來,死也往島嶼去的山林來說,海洋可無法遮蔽那些溫暖如咒詛的低語。171Please respect copyright.PENANAMYtztQ1bsl

找到能暫時模仿「受肉禁術」的觸媒,暫且脫離人史的禁錮。171Please respect copyright.PENANAUgTwmHNuKT
171Please respect copyright.PENANAT907LtbVk6
這話說來簡單,可無法達成雙向發言的梅花並不能從這種窘境裡跟那些被稱為紅毛仔的「西班牙人」溝通──現階段的祂只不過是有著濃厚靈力,能幫助一些小東西擁有形象的存在而已──要怎麼暫且有與他人溝通的能力?重要不在他,而是在聆聽的那方。171Please respect copyright.PENANAslVqBskBew
171Please respect copyright.PENANAFPe6U4H7Pw
那些法外之術,領土外的妖魔神靈,若祂沒有「看錯未來」,自己要找的受肉之術是有一定程度的極限所在。這意味著祂必須要找個有靈力的家族來當觸媒進行交易……現階段有能接受這種法術的家庭還不會因此對祂找碴的?有嗎?171Please respect copyright.PENANA3jf9e1QP9V
171Please respect copyright.PENANAD3JKeYkFVl
仔細找就會有了。171Please respect copyright.PENANATeTfgio78V

到山下以後往北而去,北邊近港灣處。171Please respect copyright.PENANAcVFtPHun52
171Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ6ainEzZj
對祂來說只是三兩步的距離,對人類來說則是要跋涉半日的旅途。171Please respect copyright.PENANAopaxDGPpnH
171Please respect copyright.PENANAcHp1VPTiLa
171Please respect copyright.PENANAtfinQO0lVH

即使這是祂第一次下山,祂還是熟練地運用自己的靈力而不失風采,那風采光華帶起的靈力流動是如此清晰,清晰地即使是路過的野豬也都覺得祂會為山林手刃那些外來的獵人。171Please respect copyright.PENANArSx37m3LyK

發生了什麼,為什麼在紅毛人來之前會有人先發瘋?171Please respect copyright.PENANAMf0iaMXPb0
171Please respect copyright.PENANA8CulxuFnIJ
而且又是為什麼祂會在這一帶突然現形?方才下山到雞籠一帶就踏進了村落,在山上因鯤島幻化獲得形體以前梅花就看著這裡了,選擇這小村也是為了避免與零星人等或不熟識的孤魂野鬼對頭──循著比自己要更加濃烈的靈力而來,祂就在迷霧裡行到了廟中。171Please respect copyright.PENANAdn5aycwDg8
171Please respect copyright.PENANAb39rFsSpSD
那些零星的,將要吞沒原先住民的漢人就在祂眼前。171Please respect copyright.PENANAcECvEu0q19

171Please respect copyright.PENANAKPcIWaa8Ak
時機未到,對這裡的人來說祂的隨意出現會被當作野鬼也不奇怪,沒料到竟有物能將祂影響,使祂提前現形?祂可是清楚鯤島眾神規矩之人,這不是神力,也不該在此時發生。171Please respect copyright.PENANA3HkJ2UpN6j

生者來,死者去,不分族類,祂已經見過多少人類的起起落落了,這點小事沒什麼的,而且有些時候對他們這般小卒來說,死了反而更輕鬆──撲鼻的梅香與蔓生的花毯還是讓祂鎖定了木頭雕像底下的源頭,那是祂從未感知過的外物:一面晶瑩剔透,印著紅墨的紙張。171Please respect copyright.PENANANfr0RLt508

山林與人神共榮共存的軼事裡,這種事再理所當然不過,與鯤島體系將近的勢必會是祂眼前的木造雕像,領土外的神性。171Please respect copyright.PENANAqGss6Zpwdy
171Please respect copyright.PENANAvQzgwgBkT4
被搭成小寺廟的黃土樓房裡邊,見到這髮色如花朵般異樣,相貌又如此傾國,分不清陰陽的男子,兩個躺地上那小兒,自稱他「爹娘」的男女身上衣服可還說有些整齊──但,這側臥在草蓆上的小兒可沒爹娘那樣整潔。171Please respect copyright.PENANAkfnsJIuftT

「……給我道來吧,爾等為何要把這種『人』拿來祭?說吧,我是此地山神。」171Please respect copyright.PENANA1ICdTB4Nmg
171Please respect copyright.PENANAFteKqi6UR2
只見眼前就有能讓自己獲得肉體的靈力源,祂可沒興致在這兒從一個木雕製品上打攪人家野鬼清夢,沒錯……這雕像頂多只能供心靈依偎所用(順帶一提,祂知道這尊雕像剛好是這戶人家的傳家寶,可這幾代又有何用?)。171Please respect copyright.PENANAD6yEKxsFPu

因為紅毛人登島就要這麼寢食難安,是原本想把自己誕下的子嗣賣出去嗎?人不夠多,精壯的男丁自是成了這時每個家庭都寄望的需求……不過……171Please respect copyright.PENANAIPQudpWnX9
171Please respect copyright.PENANARhjq2OuAzZ
這孩子顯然是賣不出去的那個「賠錢貨」。171Please respect copyright.PENANAnu6QVFabjx
171Please respect copyright.PENANAnbqho9cj8X
不過,從他身上整齊的破衣與單純無水可清洗的髒皮膚來看,他的爹娘顯然是被恐懼給控制居多,抬手掀起掌心,手心肉裡是一朵嬌嫩的梅花,此刻的祂便用鯤島所賜的靈力示以兩人最為慈愛的笑容。171Please respect copyright.PENANAgXUQfwvcxB
171Please respect copyright.PENANAgr7QKwOHI0
這對老夫婦眉心的冷汗幾乎都要擠成一灘池水了。171Please respect copyright.PENANAfa01HecEQb

不,不是祂自願顯形的,是祂正在被那尊木雕底下的紙張影響,這些漢民該不會是跟紅毛傢伙過來的?還是說先祖曾接觸過,才把那種東西夾在底下?171Please respect copyright.PENANARkbGmSJMo6
171Please respect copyright.PENANASTalHjLy1N
而且──在祂開口施法,好用言語安撫這老爺子老太婆的同時,祂的目光掃過倒臥的小兒與他的腹肚──這下祂可看清楚了。171Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xcn3zH5JM
171Please respect copyright.PENANAQc9pB5nvBK
171Please respect copyright.PENANAcGz9Xc36fF
是個陰陽同體的美人。171Please respect copyright.PENANAoBBAyVmYUp
171Please respect copyright.PENANAskhuyjf9oh
肌膚粗糙,但洗好絕對有媲美祂梅花的標緻,髮絲分岔,可是若用祂調配的瓊漿洗過(對,祂幻化以後有很多事情可做,做到都煩了),這頭糙到不行的絲瓜絕對能成為與花海相襯,舉手投足就能直接讓那些神經大條的人直達滅國戰爭的「美女」!171Please respect copyright.PENANAvfPOgffcog
171Please respect copyright.PENANA3NxYrxOUY7
男帥女美兼具,沒有比這更好的軀殼了。171Please respect copyright.PENANA4WPAoXwT25

「雖是這副給妖孽詛咒的軀體,他實在是這麼漂亮,這麼善良……我們的心肝寶貝兒,結果卻不斷招來厄運!我們,我們……不想再受罰了,這一定是老天爺的懲罰,為什麼只是要好好養家糊口,來這兒還要挨這種打罵欺凌。」171Please respect copyright.PENANA8KVYZxFWKW
171Please respect copyright.PENANA22Dch5q70c
負責開口的是小美人的「娘」,接連不斷的發言都是這樣的:試過了,真試過了。171Please respect copyright.PENANAh3InSIZbsg
結果得出的就是這個──一定是這孩子刻意要扮醜的體貼不足助他們徹底避凶,化險為夷,反而變相引來更多厄運。171Please respect copyright.PENANAldDwKVeGq8
171Please respect copyright.PENANA8TkYToS47O
原來是在刻意扮醜,想體貼爹娘嗎?171Please respect copyright.PENANAugL65OJeYs
171Please respect copyright.PENANANnn6mO6qX8
傻子,扮醜扮到都病成這樣了。被家裡人害怕,冷落的結果就是這樣──梅花看得出這個小美人快死了。171Please respect copyright.PENANAblNIWjW2VB
171Please respect copyright.PENANAIrIpHR7FL6
他們是來這座島從商的,想要找個好地方落地生根,但在大批「紅毛野人」登島以前,零星的野人與山上來的蕃民就是要他們的命,討他們的錢。171Please respect copyright.PENANASFlwuwtSuV
171Please respect copyright.PENANAaluNTaItmC
都是藉口,全都是自己無法再承受現實的藉口。171Please respect copyright.PENANAGfKK4I5MjM

「……」171Please respect copyright.PENANAAtKGgxdLQ9
171Please respect copyright.PENANAtNUivGGfuk
……比起那些獵豬獵鹿的(最近也開始獵頭了)的傢伙所帶來的「消耗」,祂才不想管這種外頭自然發生的磨損呢,祂是不會回應懺悔的。171Please respect copyright.PENANAp4J13bSkt8

那兩人抱頭竄逃,在不久後離開了鯤島,拿到了那張奇異紙張的瞬間,踏入虛實之間的「姑方」便在此欣然一笑,豐沛的靈力與這張「似紙非紙」之物所帶來的身軀完美地匹配了祂的喜好!171Please respect copyright.PENANAFW9Bo7weiB
171Please respect copyright.PENANAV6YFdf7hgZ
──姑方大人,所以,您要離開這座山?171Please respect copyright.PENANASNeHBY9UJb
171Please respect copyright.PENANA1oxZEugWki
對,當然,我所迎來的「禁錮」比人類的「死亡」要可怕的多!171Please respect copyright.PENANASpOlCrc4Tb
171Please respect copyright.PENANAO3au4WwWLe
臉上掛著燦笑的梅花待在正在因靈力而緩慢恢復的肉體之中,有祂在身上,這小美人自是會好起來的!仰望漫天吹雪,花朵傲然盛開,受人類鄙夷的景色也是鯤島一切歷史的開端,怕什麼呢?祂才不怕呢,祂只是想做一些被人類稱為「偷懶」的小事。171Please respect copyright.PENANAcqpAEnVAEC
171Please respect copyright.PENANARm9RKmmZTl
畢竟,守望島嶼這種工作是強加過來的。171Please respect copyright.PENANAipniObNeE4

某一天忽然就這樣了。171Please respect copyright.PENANALQwjQb12G4
171Please respect copyright.PENANAA6t3mJzTgU
……當然,祂知道這絕對不是「巧合」,鯤島在呼喚祂,在擁抱祂,在愛護祂。171Please respect copyright.PENANAiiEdy67xNX

字字句句,意味深長,凝聚而幻化成巨大概念的精靈被關在「梅花」之上。171Please respect copyright.PENANAp36aYrbfJO
171Please respect copyright.PENANAH0uKG13PJh
這種改變實在來得太快,甚至直到「他」(祂)成功用模仿了語言,搭上船隻為止,他都能感覺到島嶼的呼喚。171Please respect copyright.PENANADyZKreJMah

雞籠港,西班牙船隊的船長眼前來了個長相精緻,臉蛋還算上相的美人胚子,幾天後還有一大批「珍寶船隊」要來呢,能從這個美麗島上頭發掘出好貨的可能性想必很快就會傳給總督府裡那些肥到流油的混帳東西。171Please respect copyright.PENANAgBHWqZjh3s

將靈力凝於指尖,改變形貌,讓他的模樣看上去就是個好看的混血美人──這個易容咒主要著重於改變他的髮色,蜷縮在甲板一角的「姑方」從止不住的冷汗裡抬眸。171Please respect copyright.PENANAdTJnG1itSP

171Please respect copyright.PENANA10Knwm2WF9
惹得他剛附身就上山去喝了最甜美的清泉,大口吃起果子,像個強盜一樣向森林索要著甘果與能量。171Please respect copyright.PENANAQDqkSuCB39

一路上的他不禁想盡辦法用自己的靈力做出的物品弄到了錢財,還在調適中讀懂了部分卡斯提亞語(西班牙語)、漢語的波動,旁人嘴裡的那些「樂園門票」的傳聞顯然就與他揣在懷裡的「紙張」有關係。171Please respect copyright.PENANAJemIK2axJh
