110第二十九章 身份成谜（1/2）

( ) 跟-我-读WEN文-XUE学-LOU楼 记住哦！ 那人身形不稳地走向小路尽头,这条小路左右遍植半人高的菩提兰<></span>淡粉色的花叶在阳光的映照下几乎成了透明,次第垂下的绿果晶莹剔透<></span>似乎被风一吹便能发出清脆的响声<></span>这般景色那人却似未瞧见半分<></span>只是一步一步、毫不迟疑地朝着不远处树荫下的木屋走去<></span>

那木屋被巨大的树影覆盖,再明亮放肆的阳光也得在它面前止步,一眼看去只有灰蒙蒙一片,寂静无声<></span>好不瘆人<></span>那人径自走到木屋前,脚步微微一顿,便听一个苍老发颤的声音传出：<></span>进来吧<></span><></span>

推开房门<></span>入眼的是更加沉寂的黑暗<></span>在这一望无底的黑暗中<></span>一蓬火苗突地窜起,映出半张满布皱纹的面容<></span>

<></span>没礼貌<></span>见到我老人家连招呼都不打了<></span><></span>束着双辫发髻的老婆婆将手中的烟枪靠近灯盏<></span>吧嗒吧嗒地吸了两口<></span>才斜着眼看着站在半丈开外的年轻人<></span>

<></span>……姥姥<></span><></span>

<></span>唔<></span><></span>袅袅烟雾腾起<></span>火光越发朦胧<></span><></span>还记得你的名字么<></span><></span>

<></span>记得<></span><></span>

<></span>说出来<></span><></span>

<></span>楚南漠<></span>吾名<></span>楚南漠<></span><></span>

老婆婆敲敲烟枪<></span>深绿色的翡翠烟袋闪着辉光<></span><></span>总算没忘本<></span>我还以为你出去一遭<></span>连来路归途都忘干净了<></span><></span>

那人蓦地抬头<></span>秀气容颜沉冷非常<></span>正是叶曼青一心挂念的楚南漠<></span>只见他仍是不语<></span>面上却是略带压抑的紧绷<></span>

<></span>上一回<></span>你将玄冰剑带走<></span>致使圣泉倒灌<></span>若非族内及时修补圣泉<></span>恐怕这漫山的菩提兰会全数枯萎<></span>这也就罢了<></span>你应知这玄冰剑乃是当年恩人同乌孽族立约的明证<></span>玄冰剑离开圣泉当日<></span>乌孽族便派人来犯<></span>不少族人都被袭受伤<></span>这罪责<></span>你可知道<></span><></span>鸡皮鹤发的老妇人冷冷说道<></span>

楚南漠沉声道：<></span>所有罪责<></span>我一力承担<></span><></span>

<></span>你承担<></span><></span>老妇人轻哼一声<></span>烟袋在椅背上磕得当当响<></span><></span>你拿什么承担<></span>幸亏族里未出大乱<></span>不然……罢了<></span>这玄冰剑本就是青霓派之物<></span>又有你师父的遗愿在先<></span>你取剑归还他们也算应当<></span>这事老妇就搁下不再提了<></span><></span>当年行游至此的翎玥见南林族一直为乌孽族所扰<></span>拔剑相助震慑乌孽族<></span>并将玄冰剑插在圣泉中以为凭证<></span>只要此剑一日在南林族<></span>乌孽族便不得再放肆<></span>翎玥威势慑人<></span>乌孽族虽然诡诈<></span>但对以血立下的誓言却极为守信<></span>近八十年间都不曾进犯过南林族<></span>两族传承千余年<></span>却只有这八十年最为平静<></span>其间也有不少乌孽族人闯入南林族意欲夺取玄冰剑<></span>却都铩羽而归<></span>这里面的功劳<></span>也有楚南漠师徒俩一份<></span>正因为这番缘由<></span>加之现今情势不同往日<></span>玄冰剑的存在与否不再关乎族内安危<></span>这缇姥姥才会随意揭过不再追究<></span>不过——

<></span>这夺剑之罪虽然压下<></span>有一件事却不能不提<></span><></span>缇姥姥轻咳一声<></span><></span>我族的规矩<></span>你是知道的吧<></span><></span>

楚南漠眉峰一动<></span>却听缇姥姥又道：<></span>你既然拔出了玄冰剑<></span>此后也无人能再有到圣泉触动玄冰剑的机会<></span>那么<></span>你便是我族圣女的定情人<></span><></span>说到这里<></span>缇姥姥呵呵笑起来<></span><></span>你和萱儿自小一块长大<></span>用中原人的话说<></span>该是青梅竹马<></span>把萱儿交给你<></span>姥姥我是十二分的放心<></span><></span>

原本有些发怔的楚南漠听到这话<></span>陡然拧起眉来：<></span>姥姥<></span><></span>

见他神色不对<></span>缇姥姥便也敛了笑：<></span>怎么<></span>你不乐意<></span>萱儿贵为南林族圣女<></span>可有配不上你的<></span><></span>

<></span>不是这样<></span><></span>楚南漠眉头越发皱紧<></span>眼中带着一丝迷惘<></span><></span>不是这样……<></span>

缇姥姥吐出一口烟：<></span>不是这样<></span>又是哪样<></span><></span>虽是疑问<></span>她的声音中却已带了笑意<></span>楚南漠是她看着长大的<></span>他的性子缇姥姥自然清楚<></span>这孩子幼年丧母<></span>后来随着他师父幽居在南泽之地<></span>与人少有接触<></span>人世之事多有不知<></span>虽然这三年来他越过墨江北上中原<></span>但每每观他神态<></span>除了性子越发冷峻沉默外<></span>并无多少不同<></span>

却见楚南漠身形一晃似有站不稳的样子<></span>缇姥姥知他为药效所制<></span>便也不再为难他<></span>手中翡翠烟枪一转<></span>一个草垫飞旋着落在他身前<></span>

<></span>坐吧<></span>

楚南漠缓缓盘腿坐下<></span><></span>请姥姥赐药<></span><></span>

缇姥姥摆摆手：<></span>解药的事暂且不提<></span>孩子<></span>姥姥有几句话要先问问你<></span><></span>她接下来要问的事并不好说<></span>其中牵涉<></span>既关乎族内大计<></span>又有她的一点私心<></span><></span>听萱儿说<></span>你此次上青霓山<></span>见过那个人了<></span><></span>摇晃的烛火蓦地一暗<></span>屋内瞬间似如深渊沉寂<></span>许久<></span>才听楚南漠涩声道：<></span>是<></span><></span>

<></span>有什么想法没<></span><></span>

<></span>无<></span><></span>

缇姥姥陡然被水烟呛到<></span>咳声连连：<></span>咳咳<></span>臭小子你……当真<></span><></span>见他只是沉默着撇开头<></span>缇姥姥暗叹一声<></span>虽然不愿<></span>但有的事却不能不问清楚<></span>

<></span>南林族现今的情势<></span>你可清楚<></span><></span>

楚南漠摇摇头道：<></span>自回来后我便不曾离开南泽之地<></span><></span>

这答案缇姥姥自然知道<></span><></span>也难怪<></span>你们师徒俩一向不关心身外之事<></span>本来西南三州之事与你无关<></span>但考虑到你的身世<></span>此事还是跟你提一提为好<></span><></span>她顿了一顿<></span>又道：<></span>月前<></span>我族与乌孽族经已然达成协议<></span>此后两族将不再争斗<></span><></span>

这事倒是出乎意外<></span>楚南漠微现讶异<></span>却不多言：<></span>这般<></span>也好<></span><></span>

<></span>你可知为何两族会愿意放下多年仇怨和平相处吗<></span><></span>

<></span>不知<></span><></span>

跟这小鬼讲话真的是完全没有卖关子的乐趣……缇姥姥暗自腹诽<></span>也不再绕圈子了：<></span>算了<></span>我老人家直接说给你听<></span>此次我族与乌孽族言和<></span>非是一时之事<></span>而是这十数年来的情势消长所成<></span>唉<></span>你当知晓<></span>这西南王者<></span>与你实在有几分渊源<></span>现今南、乌两族<></span>已然是其麾下之臣<></span><></span>

<></span>什么——<></span>楚南漠此番是真的惊讶<></span>他虽是于世事人情不识<></span>但身为使役阁第一杀手<></span>对情势的判断却一向准确直指核心<></span><></span>战事将起么<></span><></span><></span>一语既出<></span>再回想缇姥姥先前的种种言语<></span>心绪流转之下登时明白过来<></span>顿时冷了声音<></span><></span>姥姥想要什么回答<></span><></span>

缇姥姥面色一沉<></span>眼角堆出起伏的沟壑：<></span>姥姥我不过是要你明白<></span>你究竟是什么人罢了<></span><></span>虽是含怒之言<></span>却也是现今问题所在<></span>缇姥姥叹一口气<></span><></span>你说的不错<></span>这十来年西南的势力统合已然完成<></span>这场南北之争已是避无可避<></span>你父……身份非同一般<></span>恐怕此事已不是秘密<></span><></span>

<></span>那又如何<></span><></span>

缇姥姥一瞪眼：<></span>臭小子还跟我打马虎眼<></span>你娘可是楚家的女儿<></span>这一层关系<></span>你还想不明白<></span><></span>若是早个二十年<></span>提起东陵楚家<></span>这天熙大陆谁人不知谁人不晓<></span>自杨修武立国开始<></span>三百年间楚家荣宠不变<></span>一直是靖国第一大世家<></span>只是兴亡难测<></span>随着靖国覆灭<></span>楚家也跟着衰败<></span>在乱世混战中全族被灭<></span>连祖上留下的宅邸也毁于战火之中<></span>

楚南漠抿紧薄唇<></span><></span>幼年流亡时的悲惨历历在目<></span>娘亲那双似乎永远含着悲戚的水眸总是望向遥远的北方——那个被称为<></span>家<></span>的所在<></span>

<></span>楚家当年声明显赫<></span>公子也记忆深刻<></span>你娘亲的遭遇<></span>他也是唏嘘不已<></span>他虽未明说<></span>但意思却是很清楚的<></span>但凡你肯为他效力<></span>楚家再现往日荣耀定不是虚言空话<></span><></span>

听到最后一句<></span>楚南漠的神色微微一动<></span>嘴角扬起一瞬：<></span>姥姥<></span>我只记得娘亲遗言<></span>‘但愿来世再不做世家女儿’<></span><></span>

正说得欢的缇姥姥顿时一滞<></span>楚君玉的经历她也约莫知道个大概<></span>家破人亡的大家小姐一夜之间沦为逃犯<></span>苦苦挣扎在生死线上时为人所救<></span>自是一见倾心以身相许<></span>不料对方不仅早有家室且身份不凡<></span>怎可能容得下她这等前朝余孽<></span>楚君玉外表虽然柔弱但性子却是傲气不改<></span>忍耐数年后终于寻得机会带着爱子逃了出来<></span>她一个弱女子带着个五岁的幼儿一路流浪到西南之地<></span>其中艰难苦楚自不必说<></span>等到安心把楚南漠托付给他师父后便香消玉殒含怨逝<></span>以她的性子<></span>确实是会说出这般话来<></span>

<></span>那你的意思是……<></span>

楚南漠撑着草垫起身：<></span>姥姥既不愿给解药<></span>我便先回去了<></span><></span>

<></span>诶……哎<></span>你还没说明白你到底是要怎样——臭小子<></span><></span>咯吱的开门声中<></span>从半启的门中溜进来的阳光只一瞬便消失<></span>缇姥姥对着重又陷入黑暗中的木门<></span>气得叫骂起来<></span>

却听门外低沉嗓音缓缓飘来：<></span>不相干的事我不去理会<></span>姥姥<></span>这便是我的答案<></span><></span>

缇姥姥一怔：<></span>不相干<></span>这哪里是不相干的事<></span>你小子给我说清楚<></span>还有萱儿的事……<></span>

门外一片寂静<></span>屋中半室昏暗<></span>缇姥姥侧耳倾听<></span>确定楚南漠已然走远<></span>才苦笑一声：<></span>紫璇丫头<></span>你这徒儿我老人家可真是扛不住啊……<></span>
