Chen Qu Fei’s Fantasy Novels, Volume Two “Dreamscape Exchange”
1: The Insomniac Prisoner Yu Letian has suffered from insomnia for many years. Every deep night, when darkness floods the city like a tide, Yu Letian can only keep his dry eyes open, staring at the cracks on the ceiling spreading like spider webs. He is a successful professional, promoted to vice president of his company at a young age, but the overly tense lifestyle has left his nerves stretched to the breaking point. Repeated attempts with medication, yoga meditation, and even expensive psychotherapy all fail to grant him a moment of restful sleep at night. Until that night. When he finally collapses from exhaustion and falls asleep on the office sofa, he dreams. It is a dimly lit alley, faint whispers and fragmented music drifting through the air. Neon lights flicker like glowing flowers, releasing their fragrance into the darkness. At the alley’s end stands a small shop with a wooden signboard that reads: "Dreamscape Exchange." At the door stands a girl. She has cat ears, snow-white and lively, complementing her crystal-clear blue eyes. The girl claims to be the shop’s owner, named “Miaoyin.” “We can trade memories for good sleep here,” she says with a smile, her voice like winter sunshine—gentle yet tinged with coldness.
2: The Forgetting of First Love After his first trade with Miaoyin, Yu Letian finally experiences the long-lost peaceful sleep. He trades away a trivial childhood memory—once on a school field trip, he forgot his chopsticks and had to eat with his hands. Such a small, embarrassing moment, yet he gives it up without hesitation. That night, he sleeps like a baby. The trades become habitual. With every trade, his sleep quality improves, but at the same time, his past starts to blur. One sunny afternoon, Yu Letian meets Chen Mengmei—his college first love—on the street. Her smile remains warm like the first ray of spring sunshine. Standing outside a café, Yu Letian senses familiarity but cannot recall any shared memories between them. “Letian, don’t you remember me at all?” Chen Mengmei’s voice trembles slightly. “Sorry… did we know each other before?” Disappointment and sadness flash in her eyes, yet she gently nods, “Maybe I mistook you for someone else.” She turns and walks away, her figure thin and fragile in the afternoon sun.
3: The Void of Memories Yu Letian trades memories more frequently, tossing away more and more from childhood to youth without hesitation. His colleagues notice the change. Once confident and ambitious, Yu Letian grows cold and mechanical, speaking absentmindedly and sometimes blankly in conversations. One day, he looks into the mirror and sees his own eyes—a pair of hollow eyes, like an abyss. He decides to visit the Dreamscape Exchange again.
4: The Final Trade Miaoyin still smiles behind the counter as if she never left. “What else do you have to trade?” “I don’t know…” Yu Letian’s voice is low and hollow. “But I need real sleep. Complete sleep.” Miaoyin’s pupils narrow slightly, then she smiles like a hunting cat spotting its prey. “Then give up the last part of your ‘self’.” Yu Letian barely hesitates. He just wants to escape the endless insomnia.
5: The Reversed Ending When Yu Letian wakes up, he lies in a pristine white room—no pain, no thoughts, not even a past. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounds. “Welcome back, Letian.” It is Chen Mengmei. But Miaoyin stands beside her. “This is the true home of the Dreamscape Exchange,” Chen Mengmei says. “The memories you discarded have not vanished; they have become the nourishment here. Every soul that has lost its self is a brick in our world.” Miaoyin smiles and adds, “Congratulations on becoming the new owner of this shop.” At that moment, Yu Letian realizes—all the trades were pushing him toward this fate. Miaoyin will leave forever, passing the responsibility of shop owner to him. And Chen Mengmei is also part of this world—forever, impossible to escape. 〈夢境交易所〉 1：失眠的囚徒 余樂天已經失眠多年。 每一個深夜，當黑暗如潮水般淹沒城市，余樂天卻只能睜著乾澀的雙眼，看著天花板的裂縫如蛛網蔓延。他是個職場上的成功人士，年紀輕輕便晉升為公司副總，但過於緊繃的生活讓他的神經如同瀕臨崩斷的弦。 一次又一次的藥物嘗試、瑜伽冥想、甚至是高昂的心理治療，都無法讓他在夜晚獲得片刻的安眠。 直到那個夜晚。 在他終於疲憊至極、倒在辦公室沙發上昏睡的時候，他做了一個夢。 那是一條幽暗的街巷，隱約傳來呢喃與細碎的音樂聲。霓虹燈閃爍，如同發著光的花朵，向黑暗中吐露芬芳。街巷盡頭，是一間掛著木質招牌的小店，上面寫著：『夢境交易所』。 門口站著一個少女。 她長著一雙貓耳，雪白而靈動，與那雙如水晶般澄澈的藍瞳相襯。少女自稱是這間店的店主，名叫「貓音」。 「我們這裡，可以用記憶換取好眠。」她笑著說，聲音像是冬日的陽光，溫柔又帶著一絲冰冷。
2：初戀的遺忘 余樂天第一次與貓音交易後，果然獲得了久違的安眠。 他將小學時期一段無關緊要的記憶交出——那次校外教學的午餐盒裡，因為忘了帶筷子而只能用手抓飯吃。如此瑣碎而丟臉的回憶，他毫不猶豫地交出。當晚，他睡得像個嬰兒。 之後，交易成了習慣。 而每一次交易，余樂天的睡眠品質都逐步提升，但同時也開始模糊起來的，是他的過去。 某個風和日麗的午後，余樂天在街頭遇見了陳夢美——他的大學初戀。 她的笑容依然溫暖，像是春日裡的第一縷陽光。兩人站在咖啡館門口，余樂天感覺對方似曾相識，卻想不起來兩人之間的任何點滴記憶。 「樂天，你真的不記得我了嗎？」陳夢美的聲音微微顫抖。 「抱歉……我們以前認識嗎？」 她的眼中閃過失望與悲傷，但終究還是輕輕點了點頭。「或許是我認錯人了。」 她轉身離去，身影在午後的陽光下顯得格外單薄。
3：記憶的虛空 余樂天的交易愈加頻繁，從童年到青年，越來越多的記憶被他毫不猶豫地拋棄。 公司的同事開始察覺到他的變化。曾經意氣風發的余樂天，現在變得冷漠而機械，與人交談時顯得漫不經心，甚至有些木然。 直到有一天，他在鏡中看見自己的雙眼——那是一對空洞的眼睛，彷彿深淵。 他決定再次造訪夢境交易所。
4：最後的交易 貓音依舊微笑著站在櫃檯後，像是從未離開過。 「你還有什麼可以交易？」 「我不知道……」余樂天的聲音低沉而空洞。「但我需要真正的安眠。徹底的。」 貓音的瞳孔微微收縮，然後露出如同獵貓發現獵物般的笑意。 「那麼，將你僅剩的『自我』交出來吧。」 余樂天幾乎沒有猶豫。他只想要擺脫那無窮無盡的失眠。
5：反轉的結局 當余樂天醒來時，他躺在一個潔白無瑕的房間裡。沒有痛苦，沒有思緒，甚至沒有過去。 突然，一個熟悉的聲音響起。 「歡迎回來，樂天。」 那是陳夢美。 但她身旁還有貓音。 「這裡是夢境交易所真正的所在。」陳夢美說。「那些你所丟棄的記憶，並沒有消失，而是成為了這裡的養料。每一個失去自我的靈魂，都是我們世界的一塊磚瓦。」 貓音微笑著補充道：「恭喜你成為這間店的新店主。」 此刻，余樂天才明白——所有的交易，都是為了將他推向這個命運。 貓音，將永遠離開，將店主的責任交給了他。 而陳夢美，亦是這個世界的一部分。 永遠，無法逃離。
“The Mirror of Prophecy”
1: The Revelation of the Bronze Mirror Chen Wuhui is a young and talented scholar specializing in philosophy and the study of human nature. From childhood, he has an insatiable thirst for truth but remains trapped between worldly recognition and fame. One day, while strolling down an ancient street in the city, Chen Wuhui enters a dusty antique shop by chance. The shop is filled with strange artifacts, but the most eye-catching is a bronze mirror intricately carved with twisting vines and flying birds, emitting a cold and mysterious glow. The shopkeeper is an elderly woman with a deep voice and a secretive smile. She tells Chen Wuhui that the bronze mirror is called the “Mirror of Prophecy,” said to reveal the future of its possessor. However, not everyone can see the true prophecy—only those with a strong desire for destiny can glimpse the light and shadow of the future in the mirror. Out of curiosity, Chen Wuhui buys the mirror and takes it back to his study.
2: The Radiance of the Future Chen Wuhui places the bronze mirror at the center of his study, lights a candle, and gazes into its surface. At first, the mirror only reflects his image—blurred and unremarkable. But over time, a blue glow appears, and a scene different from reality emerges. He sees himself standing on a lofty podium, surrounded by countless scholars and listeners admiring his lecture. Books, medals, and honors fill his room. His theories become the wisdom the world eagerly repeats. This vision excites Chen Wuhui. He believes it to be a prophecy of the future and plunges into his research with even more fanatic passion, burying himself daily in books and manuscripts. During this period, he meets several important figures:
Shen Zhiyin: Chen Wuhui’s close friend and colleague, skilled in history and literature research, loyal and wise. Often provides constructive criticism and advice.
Liu Ruoshui: A young painter who loves exploring the depths of soul and art. She and Chen Wuhui meet at an academic exhibition and quickly become close friends, even developing subtle romantic feelings.
Zheng Yuande: A distinguished member of the academic council, known for being strict and critical. Chen Wuhui views him as the toughest critic but desires his recognition.
3: The Shackles of Glory Years later, Chen Wuhui’s theories finally gain worldwide recognition. Fame and wealth flood in like tides. Countless disciples seek his teachings, and praise pours into his ears. However, this success gradually distances him from his old friends. Shen Zhiyin finds Chen Wuhui cold and arrogant, intolerant of dissent. Liu Ruoshui slowly drifts away, noticing his work becoming rigid and mechanical, losing its original vitality and purity. One day, Chen Wuhui decides to gaze into the mirror again to confirm if his path is correct. But what he sees is entirely different— He lies alone in a cold room, surrounded by scattered books and dust. No visitors, no mourning for his death. Though his theories are carved on a monument, they are like unread epitaphs forgotten in desolation. Chen Wuhui feels bone-chilling fear. He begins to doubt if he is heading toward the mirror’s foretold fate.
4: The Trap of Escape To change his fate, Chen Wuhui tries to reconcile with Shen Zhiyin and restore his friendship with Liu Ruoshui. But they have long lost hope. Liu Ruoshui leaves the city to pursue true art elsewhere; Shen Zhiyin retires to the countryside and refuses to communicate with Chen Wuhui. During this lonely time, Chen Wuhui meets a mysterious traveler—Luo Yifeng. This old, mad man claims to have once owned the “Mirror of Prophecy” and tried to escape its curse. Luo Yifeng tells Chen Wuhui that the real curse is not the mirror itself, but the endless desire within the human heart. No matter how one struggles, the mirror only reflects the deepest obsession inside. Inspired, Chen Wuhui decides to completely abandon his pursuit of fame and status. He throws the bronze mirror from a height, shattering it into hundreds of pieces. Then he chooses a simple, peaceful life focused on inner tranquility and the pursuit of wisdom. Yet, the true secret lies hidden within the fragments…
5: The Unexpected Truth Years later, now elderly, Chen Wuhui sees a fragment of the bronze mirror in the hands of a young scholar. The scholar claims to have bought it from an antique collector and shares a shocking secret. The collector discovered that the mirror does not predict the future, but reflects the possessor’s deepest fears and desires. When Chen Wuhui learns this truth, he is at the twilight of his life. He smiles bitterly, realizing his life was shaped by the illusions cast by that mirror. Finally, on a quiet morning, he passes away peacefully, a smile of release on his face.
1：銅鏡的啟示 陳無悔是一位年輕而才華洋溢的學者，專攻哲學與人性研究。自幼對真理懷有無窮的渴望，卻始終困於世俗的認可與名聲之間。 某日，陳無悔漫步於城中一條古老的街道，偶然走入一家灰塵覆蓋的古董店。店內滿布奇異的器物，其中最引人注目的，是一面雕花繁複的銅鏡，鏡框上纏繞著宛如活物的藤蔓與飛鳥圖案，散發出冷冽而神秘的光澤。 店主是一位蒼老的婦人，聲音低沉而帶著詭秘的笑意。她告訴陳無悔，這面銅鏡名為“預言之鏡”，相傳能映照出持有者的未來。然而，並非所有人都能看見真正的預言，唯有對命運抱持強烈渴望者，方能從鏡中窺見未來的光影。 出於好奇，陳無悔購下了這面銅鏡，將它帶回自己的書房。
2：未來的光輝 陳無悔將銅鏡擺放在書房的中央，點燃燭火，凝視著鏡面。起初，銅鏡僅映照出他的影像，模糊而無奇。但隨著時間的推移，鏡面漸漸泛起藍色的光暈，一幅不同於現實的景象浮現出來。 他看到自己站在高聳的講壇上，四周環繞著數不清的學者與聽眾，仰慕地傾聽他的講述。書籍、獎章與榮譽鋪滿了他的房間，他的理論成為世人競相傳頌的智慧源泉。 這一景象令陳無悔激動不已。他深信這是未來的預示，從此以更加瘋狂的熱情投入研究，每日埋首於書籍與手稿之中。 在此期間，陳無悔結識了數位重要的角色： 沈知音：陳無悔的摯友與同事，精通歷史與文獻研究，為人忠誠而睿智。時常為陳無悔提供建設性的批評與建議。 柳若水：年輕的畫家，熱愛探索心靈與藝術的深層意義。她與陳無悔相識於一場學術展覽，兩人迅速成為親密的朋友，甚至產生了若隱若現的愛意。 鄭元德：聲名顯赫的學術評議會成員，以嚴苛與挑剔著稱。陳無悔一度將其視為最難以取悅的批評者，但卻也渴望得到他的認可。
3：榮耀的枷鎖 多年後，陳無悔的理論終於獲得世人認可。名聲與財富如潮水般湧來，無數弟子向他求教，無數讚譽灌入他的耳中。 然而，這樣的成就卻讓他逐漸與過去的摯友疏遠。沈知音認為陳無悔變得冷漠而傲慢，對任何異見都缺乏耐心。柳若水亦逐漸遠離，因為她發現陳無悔的創作逐漸變得僵化而機械，失去了當初的靈動與純粹。 某日，陳無悔決定再次凝視銅鏡，以確認自己的道路是否正確。可當他望向鏡中時，所見卻是截然不同的景象—— 他獨自躺在一間冰冷的房間中，四周皆是散亂的書籍與灰塵。無人來探訪，無人為他的死亡哀悼。他的理論雖被刻在石碑上，卻像無人閱讀的墓誌銘，遺忘於荒涼之中。 陳無悔感到徹骨的恐懼。他開始懷疑，是否正走向鏡中所預示的結局。
4：逃離的陷阱 為了改變命運，陳無悔試圖與沈知音和好，挽回與柳若水的友誼。然而，對方早已心灰意冷。柳若水離開了這座城市，前往遙遠的地方追尋藝術的真諦；沈知音則隱居於鄉間，拒絕與陳無悔通信。 在這段孤獨的日子裡，陳無悔偶然遇見了一位神秘的旅人——羅易風。這位年邁而瘋狂的男子聲稱曾擁有過“預言之鏡”，並試圖擺脫它所帶來的詛咒。 羅易風告訴陳無悔，真正的詛咒並非銅鏡本身，而是人心中那永無止境的渴望。無論如何掙扎，預言之鏡所映照出的，皆是內心最深處的執念。 陳無悔受此啟發，決定徹底摒棄對名聲與地位的追求。他將銅鏡從高處摔落，使其碎裂成數百片。隨後，他選擇過上簡樸而寧靜的生活，專注於內心的平靜與智慧的探索。 然而，真正的真相卻隱藏在碎片之中……
多年後，已然年老的陳無悔偶然在一位年輕學者手中看到了一塊銅鏡的碎片。對方聲稱，這是他從一位古董收藏家手中購得的，並告訴他一個驚人的秘密。 那位收藏家發現，這面銅鏡其實並非預言未來，而是映照出持有者心中最深刻的恐懼與渴望。 當陳無悔得知這個真相時，已是風燭殘年。他苦笑著，意識到自己的一生正是被那面銅鏡所投射出的幻影所左右。 最後，他在一個寧靜的早晨悄然辭世，臉上帶著解脫的微笑。 《靈感之飲》
1：流浪的畫家 林風眠，一位失意的年輕畫家，背著畫具，在城市街頭漫無目的地遊走。他的畫作從未引起關注，靈感如同枯涸的井，任憑他如何挖掘，也只能挖出混濁的泥水。 某日，傍晚時分，他在細雨中徘徊，偶然走進一條陳舊的巷弄。這裡的建築像是從過去的時代遺留下來的，帶著斑駁與寧靜。就在轉角處，一間小巧而古典的咖啡店映入眼簾：——「靈息之苑」 門上的銅製牌匾略顯褪色，卻依然散發出一股獨特的美感。林風眠推門而入，店內的空氣中瀰漫著濃郁的咖啡香氣與某種無法言喻的神秘感。幾盞暖黃色的吊燈照亮了昏暗的空間，牆壁上掛滿了古老的畫作與奇異的標本。 「歡迎光臨。」 一位舉止優雅的中年婦人從櫃檯後走出。她有著黑色如夜的長髮與深邃的眼眸，聲音輕柔如低語的風。 「我是這裡的老闆娘，易靈。」她微笑道，「這裡的咖啡，或許能給你想要的靈感。」 林風眠露出一絲懷疑的神情，但饑寒交迫的身體讓他不得不坐下。易靈端來一杯熱騰騰的咖啡，淡褐色的液體在杯中泛著微光，彷彿其中藏有無數碎裂的星辰。 「這是——『啟迪靈感之飲』。」易靈說。 林風眠半信半疑地啜飲一口，驚訝地發現腦中瞬間湧現出無數絢麗而奇幻的畫面。 他看見群星在海面上跳舞、巨鳥從雲層中振翅而出、靜謐的森林深處有不滅的火光。 當晚，他回到畫室後，創作出前所未見的畫作。
2：聲名大噪 林風眠的畫作很快獲得藝術圈的關注與讚譽。展覽場上，無數人為他那仿若夢境的畫作驚歎不已。從未如此成功的林風眠，開始貪婪地追求更多靈感。 每當靈感枯竭，他便不由自主地回到「靈息之苑」。然而，隨著他的名聲逐漸擴大，那間神秘的咖啡店卻變得愈來愈難尋。有時，林風眠要在城市中徘徊數日，才能再次找到它。 「這間店，究竟是存在還是不存在？」 他多次試圖詢問易靈，但易靈總是輕輕一笑，並未解答。 「靈感的源頭，從不在店外，也不在店內。」易靈語氣平靜，彷彿在陳述一個無可爭辯的真理。 林風眠不以為意，依舊依賴那神奇的咖啡。
3：漸行漸遠 隨著創作的狂熱，林風眠與外界漸行漸遠。他的畫室成為了一個孤立的空間，充滿了異想天開的作品，卻也帶著一股無法言喻的陰鬱。 每一次找到「靈息之苑」，他都渴求著更多的靈感之飲。然而，某天當他推開店門時，店內只剩下一張紙條： 「林風眠，真正的靈感，來自於你自己的內心。不要再依賴這裡。」 林風眠感到憤怒與迷惘，他將紙條揉成一團，丟在地上。 「我需要那杯咖啡！我無法創作……」 但不論他如何尋找，那間咖啡店再也不曾出現。
4：自我救贖 失去「靈息之苑」的林風眠，陷入了長期的創作瓶頸與抑鬱。他反覆思考著易靈的話語，開始嘗試從自身挖掘靈感。經歷了無數次的挫敗後，他終於繪出了一幅前所未見的畫作。 這幅畫，彷彿是一面鏡子，照出他內心深處最深邃的情感與渴望。 正當他感到解脫時，易靈卻突然出現在他的畫室中。 「你終於找到了真正的靈感。」易靈微笑。 林風眠驚訝而疑惑，「你怎麼會在這裡？你不是說我們不會再見面嗎？」 易靈輕輕點頭：「是的，因為你已經找到了自己。」 突然間，林風眠感到一股劇烈的暈眩，他的視野變得模糊…… 5：意想不到的真相 林風眠醒來時，發現自己竟然站在「靈息之苑」的門口。門楣上的牌匾早已破舊斑駁，店內似乎被遺棄多年。 易靈的聲音從他背後傳來。 「這間店，其實從未真正存在過。」 林風眠轉過身，卻見易靈的身影變得透明而虛幻。 「你所見的所有一切，都是你內心深處對創作的渴求與恐懼所幻化出來的。」 他怔怔地望著易靈，一切都如泡沫般破滅。 「唯一真正存在的，只有你自己的心靈。」易靈的聲音愈來愈微弱，最終消失在空氣中。 林風眠終於明白，那間咖啡店、易靈、甚至所謂的『啟迪靈感之飲』，全都是他自己心靈的投影。 從此以後，他再也不依賴外物，只從內心尋找靈感，創作出無數動人心魄的畫作。
1: The Wandering Painter Lin Fengmian was a frustrated young painter, carrying his tools, wandering aimlessly through city streets. His paintings had never attracted attention; his inspiration was like a dried-up well—no matter how he dug, he only drew up muddy water. One evening, wandering in the drizzle, he accidentally entered an old alley. The buildings looked like relics from another era, worn and quiet. Around the corner stood a small, classical coffee shop—“The Garden of Spirit’s Breath.” The bronze plaque on the door was faded but still emitted a unique charm. Lin Fengmian pushed open the door; inside, the air was thick with coffee aroma and an indescribable mysterious feeling. Warm yellow pendant lights lit the dim space, walls adorned with old paintings and strange specimens. “Welcome.” An elegant middle-aged woman stepped out from behind the counter. Her hair was black as night, her eyes deep, and her voice soft like whispering wind. “I am the owner, Yi Ling,” she smiled. “Perhaps the coffee here can give you the inspiration you seek.” Lin Fengmian showed a hint of doubt, but his hungry and cold body forced him to sit down. Yi Ling brought him a steaming cup of coffee; the light brown liquid shimmered, as if filled with countless shattered stars. “This is the ‘Drink of Inspiration,’” Yi Ling said. Lin took a tentative sip and was amazed to find a flood of vivid and fantastical images rushing through his mind. He saw stars dancing on the sea surface, giant birds soaring out of clouds, and eternal flames burning deep in quiet forests. That night, back in his studio, he created paintings unlike anything before.
2: Rising Fame Lin Fengmian’s paintings quickly attracted attention and praise in the art circle. At exhibitions, countless people marveled at his dreamlike works. For the first time, Lin became greedy for more inspiration. Whenever his inspiration ran dry, he found himself irresistibly drawn back to the Garden of Spirit’s Breath. However, as his fame grew, the mysterious café became increasingly elusive. Sometimes Lin had to wander the city for days before finding it again. “Does this place truly exist or not?” He repeatedly asked Yi Ling, but she always smiled gently and never answered. “The source of inspiration is never outside the shop, nor inside it,” Yi Ling said calmly, as if stating an undeniable truth. Lin paid no mind and continued relying on the magical coffee.
3: Growing Distance As his creative frenzy intensified, Lin Fengmian grew distant from the outside world. His studio became an isolated space filled with whimsical works but also a strange melancholy. Each time he found the Garden of Spirit’s Breath, he craved more of the Drink of Inspiration. But one day, upon opening the door, he found only a note: “Lin Fengmian, true inspiration comes from within yourself. Do not rely on this place anymore.” Lin felt anger and confusion, crumpled the note, and threw it on the ground. “I need that coffee! I can’t create without it…” But no matter how he searched, the café never appeared again.
4: Self-Redemption Lost without the Garden, Lin fell into a long creative block and depression. Reflecting on Yi Ling’s words, he began trying to dig inspiration from within. After many failures, he finally painted a work unlike any before. This painting was like a mirror, reflecting the deepest emotions and desires of his heart. Just as he felt relieved, Yi Ling suddenly appeared in his studio. “You have finally found true inspiration,” she smiled. Lin was surprised and confused. “Why are you here? Didn’t you say we would never meet again?” Yi Ling nodded gently: “Yes, because you have found yourself.” Suddenly, Lin felt a dizzy spell, his vision blurred…
5: The Unexpected Truth Lin Fengmian awoke to find himself standing before the door of the Garden of Spirit’s Breath. The plaque above was weathered and mottled; the shop seemed abandoned for years. Yi Ling’s voice came from behind him: “This shop never truly existed.” Turning around, Lin saw Yi Ling’s figure become transparent and illusory. “Everything you saw was a manifestation of your own inner longing and fear for creation.” He stared blankly as everything shattered like bubbles. “The only thing truly real is your own soul.” Yi Ling’s voice grew faint and finally vanished into the air. Lin Fengmian finally understood: the café, Yi Ling, even the so-called ‘Drink of Inspiration’—all were projections of his own soul. From then on, he no longer depended on external things but sought inspiration from within, creating countless moving and profound paintings. 《隱士之書》 1︰書店與古書 黃志華是市中心一家書店的年輕店員。書店開在鬧市的一條狹窄街巷裡，外牆的紅磚已經風化剝落，仿佛在低語著過去的繁華。志華喜歡這裡的寧靜，特別是當他在書堆中獨自整理時，彷彿進入了另一個世界。 某個陰雨綿綿的午後，店長讓他清理地下倉庫中那些落滿灰塵的舊書。在書架最底層的陰影裡，他發現了一本泛黃斑駁的古書，封皮上印著銀色字跡：《隱士之書》。 翻開書頁，紙張已經變得脆弱，像風乾的樹葉。書中記載的是一種失落已久的隱士哲學，探討著宇宙與自我之間的神秘聯繫，以及通往「至善之境」的修行之道。 志華無法抑制自己的好奇心，這本書的內容似乎在呼喚他。
2︰ 隱士之地 在閱讀中，志華得知隱士哲學的源頭來自於一位名叫「應無愁」的隱士，他隱居在某個遙遠的山谷中，拒絕所有的訪客，只與真正渴求真理之人對話。 志華下定決心前往那個山谷，試圖尋找應無愁。 旅途中，他遇見了幾個重要的角色： 林婉君——一位精通占星術的女子，她預言志華的旅途將充滿試煉與抉擇。 郭子龍——一位自稱曾見過應無愁的老者，卻因為自己未能通過試煉而悔恨不已。 黑衣人——總在暗處監視志華，似乎別有目的。 志華經歷了荒原、密林、冰川與火山的交替，漸漸明白這段旅程不僅僅是對隱士的追尋，更是對自身內心的探索。
3︰應無愁 在一處幽靜的山谷中，志華終於找到了應無愁。這位隱士是個銀髮老人，面容平和，眼神卻如深海般難以窺探。 應無愁告訴志華：「智慧並非來自書本，而是從內心的探索。你的旅途雖然漫長，但真正的修行才剛剛開始。」 志華在隱士的指引下，學會了如何從內心中尋找答案，而不是依賴書本或外在的知識。隱士教導他的，不是具體的技藝，而是一種「無為而有為」的智慧。
4︰回歸 回到都市後，志華放下了對書本的執著，轉而專注於自己的內在修行。他開始寫下自己的心得，並將這些經驗分享給那些渴望找到自我的人。 書店裡，他重新翻閱《隱士之書》，卻發現書中的字跡正在逐漸消失，仿佛這本書本來就是為了引導他找到應無愁而存在的。 就在這時，黑衣人出現在書店中。 「看來你已經完成了這趟旅程。」黑衣人低聲說，露出一抹詭異的笑容。
黑衣人揭露自己真正的身份——正是應無愁。所謂的山谷和隱士，從來都不存在，一切都是應無愁為了測試志華而設下的幻境。 「真正的智慧，從來不在遠方，而是你面對幻象時的抉擇。」應無愁淡淡地說道。 原來，旅途中所有的奇幻景象與人物，皆是應無愁透過書中哲學引導志華所產生的心靈投影。林婉君、郭子龍、乃至於隱士的身影，都是他內心各個部分的化身。 志華驚訝卻又豁然開朗。 應無愁離去後，書店重新恢復平靜，彷彿從未發生過任何事情。 黃志華將《隱士之書》收入書店的深處，卻知道真正的隱士之書，已經在他的心中展開。 （完）
