陰陽師: 龍笛卷

陰陽師 #6

by Baku Yumemakura, 夢枕 獏, 茂呂美耶 (Translator)

露子為某位官員之女，不同於時下女子，不染齒、不畫眉，最愛觀察花鳥蟲魚，甚愛養毛毛蟲。一天，露子得到櫻花樹上的毛毛蟲，取名黑丸。黑丸全身無毛，僅有紅色斑點，而且食量奇大，數日之間，竟從指頭大的毛毛蟲長成吞吃老鼠、青蛇的如牛怪物……

　　龍笛卷含五篇作品：〈怪蛇〉、〈首塚〉、〈蟲姬〉、〈呼喚聲〉、〈飛仙〉。

　　夢枕□這部作品，以神祕古典又不失閒適的文筆與一篇篇短篇故事，傳達當時獨特的文化景象，更把安倍晴明塑造得有血有肉。晴明飄逸恬淡又愛戲謔人間的性格，加上耿直武士源博雅作為對比互動，使得故事十分生動有趣，令人著迷。此外，夢枕□雖寫鬼神靈異之事，卻是用一種超脫的心態思索咒術、陰陽術與名實的哲學問題，並關照到人性面，寓意深遠，不流於一般迷信，對男女情慾之事亦有獨到觀察。

むしめづる姫好き。

這本陰陽師讀起來覺得有些哀傷的氛圍，從《首塚》裡無法饜足的骷髏，再到《飛仙》的只能漂浮的半人半仙，還有《呼喚聲》中被封印的靈魂，都帶著一些無奈與絕望。另一方面，《蟲姬》裡那樣養出高貴而美麗靈魂的蟲姬，又讓人覺得勇敢而溫暖，真是有趣的對比。覺得這本最精彩的應該還是《首塚》，但那樣戰慄的氛圍，確實讀的時候還是挺緊張的！感覺夢枕貘從第一集到第五集，有越來越多更為深層的人性描寫，確實可以看出作者的進步。
