鲵丸宫的侍女对武二郎说:“您这是同意女娲娘娘的补救办法了。那我们谈谈医药费。你来我们鲵丸宫求医,我们国家自产的,全都不收费,例如你们的住宿,饭钱,我们夏国所有人提供的服务都不要钱。但这仙菇是扶桑(墨西哥)产的,我们买来的,我们得收费,20公斤黄金。”
武二郎反驳道:“多说,我就吃二两(100克),你要20公斤黄金。那这蘑菇比黄金贵200倍呀!?”
宫女主管对她身边的宫女嘀咕: “要不是那位好色的女人(即熬忖,巫毒女妖,尧帝)要吃童子鸡(即葫芦娃,童子佛),已经付了100公斤黄金,他吃不起这蘑菇!”
The maid of Salamander Bolus Palace
said to Martial Second Wolf: “So you agree to Princess Nuwa’s remedy. Then
let's discuss the medical fees. Since you've come to our Salamander Bolus
Palace for treatment, all services provided by our nation—such as your lodging,
meals, and any assistance offered by our Xia people—are free of charge.
However, these fairy mushrooms originate from Fusang (Mexico). We purchased
them and must charge for them—twenty kilograms of gold."
Martial Second Wolf retorted: “At
the most! I'll only consume two liang (100 grams), but you want 20 kilograms of
gold. That means this mushroom is 200 times more expensive than gold!?"
The head maid muttered to the maid
beside her, “If it weren't for that lustful woman (i.e., Aocun, Voodoo
Demoness, Yao Creator) who has paid 100 kilograms of gold for eating the boyish
chicken (i.e., Gourd Boy, Boy Buddha), he wouldn't be able to afford to eat
this mushroom!”
然后她对武二郎说:“我想这蘑菇在扶桑(墨西哥)和咱们这儿的普通蘑菇一样儿价钱。但从扶桑海运到我们这里需要两年的时间。我们是去海上接货的,有时我们的船要在海上等半年,平均三个月。这蘑菇的批次不一样,药力也不同。你吃二两,为了计算给你服药的剂量,我们得消耗5公斤。这么算下来,20公斤黄金只是成本。”
武二郎回答:“好吧!我付20公斤黄金,但我没带那么多钱。随后,我让士兵把黄金给你们送过来。”
Then she said to Martial Second
Wolf: ‘I think this mushroom is the same price in Fusang (Mexico) as the common
mushroom here. But it will take two years to transport them by sea from Fusang
to us. We go to the sea to receive the goods, sometimes our ship must wait at
sea for half a year, three months on average. These mushrooms come in different
batches, with different potencies. You take two taels (100 grams), to calculate
the dosage to give you the medicine, we must consume 5kg. When you do math like
that, 20 kilos of gold are just the cost.”
Martial Second Wolf replied,
“Okay! I'll pay for 20kg of gold, but I don't have that much money with me.
Afterwards, I'll have the soldiers bring you gold.”
2.
侍女说:“我们不接受赊账!女娲想请你帮个忙,想请你把这20公斤黄金签到你三弟张屠户的账上。你三弟卖猪肉给我们,老是骗我们。我们国王可喜欢他了,被骗了,还不敢说,怕惹他生气。我们的国王为此老是生气,气得睡不着觉,就请女娲给医治。所以女娲想请你帮忙,把这20公斤黄金签到你三弟的账上。”
武二郎回答:“好!我签到他的账上,然后我还他钱;但我只能签我买蘑菇的钱,不能签成买猪肉啊!”
侍女回答:“那没关系!我们的国王爱查账,但她查账,就只看个总数,然后她就算平均值。她一算,啊,这批猪肉便宜,就高兴了!”
The maid
said, “We don't accept credit! Nuwa would like to ask you a favor, she would
like to ask you to sign these 20 kilograms of gold to the account of your third
brother, Zhang the Butcher. Your third brother sells us pork and always cheats
us. Our king loves him so much. When she was cheated, she didn't dare to say
anything for fear of making him angry. Our king was so angry that she couldn't
sleep, so she asked Nuwa to heal her. So Nuwa asked for your help to sign this
20kg of gold to your third brother's account.”
Martial
Second Wolf replied, “Good! I’ll sign it to his account, and then I'll pay him;
but I can only sign it for the money I spent on mushrooms, not for buying
pork!’
The maid
replied, ‘That's all right! Our king loves to check his accounts, but when she
does, she just looks at a total, and then she counts the average. When she does
math, ah, this pork is cheap, so she's happy!’
这两位侍女找来了帐房先生,让武二郎在账面上签了字后说:“他们已经去找合适的仪式场所了,估计半个月后就可以举行祭天仪式了。”
武二郎问:“怎么那么久?”
侍女回答:“找场地,建房子,两三百人的仪式得排练几天,上千人忙乎!”
These two
maids brought in the accountant, and after having Martial Second Wolf sign the
account, they said, “They have already gone to find a suitable place for the
ceremony, and it is estimated that the Sky Sacrifice Ceremony will be held in
half a month.”
Martial
Second Wolf asked, “What's taking so long?”
The maid
replied, “Finding a site, building houses, a ceremony for two or three hundred
people must be rehearsed for a few days! Thousands of people are busy!”
3.
半个月后,女娲的两个女仆来找武二郎,告诉他,升天仪式准备好了,在离鲵丸宫80公里的一处山区。武二郎问:“怎么选了个那么远的地方?”
女仆回答:“夏国的将军们根据你的描述,向女娲娘娘提供了九处地理位置。女娲,由专家(即熬忖)陪伴着,全都察看了,最终亲自选定的。建房子只有三天的时间,等你被你的护卫送到熬忖指定的让你接受鞭刑的地方,他们就将排练完毕了。”
Half a month later, two maids of
Nuwa came to Martial Second Wolf and told him that
the ascension ceremony was ready in a mountainous area 80 kilometers away from
Salamander Bolus Palace. Martial Second Wolf asked, "Why did they choose
such a far place?"
The maid replied, "Based on
your description, the generals of our Xia Kingdom provided nine geographical
locations to Goddess Nuwa. Nuwa, accompanied by the expert (i.e., Aocun),
inspected them all and finally selected there personally. There are only three
days to build those houses. When you are accompanied by your guards to the
place designated by Aocun for you to receive the whipping, they will have
completed the rehearsal."
好了,读者可能已经看明白了,故事又回到了《瑶池圣火》(参见4.3节)。下面只是简单叙述几句。武二郎和他的护卫来到了女娲指定的让他进入升天仪式的地点,就遇见了女娲派来的假扮的熬忖派来接他的士兵。和前文一样,熬忖的士兵蒙上了他的眼睛,把他带到了仪式的现场。然后还是同一位老头儿,太乙真人,照顾他,喂他吃醋。
Well, as the reader may have
already seen, the story goes back to the “Holy Fire in Yao Pond” (see section
4.3). What follows is just a brief recounting of a few sentences. When Martial
Second Wolf and his guards arrive at the place designated by Nuwa to let him
enter the ascension ceremony, they meet the soldiers sent by Nuwa to fetch him
in the guise of those sent by Aocun. As before, the soldiers of Aocun
blindfolded him and brought him to the site of the ceremony. Then the same old
man, Taiyi (i.e., Strictly Second), takes care of him, feeds him vinegar.
当武二郎的幻觉状态达到了四禅天(如图4.7-5),全场的人进入了静止不动的模式。太乙真人对武二郎说:“武将军!上次熬忖用您祭天,她给您服用裸盖菇的剂量大,你就由此进入了三昧真火的状态(如图4至1所示的四种金刚智的状态)。三昧真火熔掉了您从此以前的约十天的记忆。”
When Martial Second Wolf's
hallucination reached the Fourth Meditation Sky (as shown in Figure 4.7-5),
everyone present entered a state of stillness. Taiyi Real Human said to Martial
Second Wolf, "General Zhang! Last time, when Aocun used you as a sacrifice
to the skies, she gave you a large dose of psilocybin mushroom, which caused
you to enter the state of Samadhi True Fire (as shown in Figure 4 to 1, the
four states of Philosopher-Stone Intelligence). Samadhi True Fire melted away
your memories of the previous ten days."
太乙真人继续说:“今天您不会进入四金刚智。我们就从此刻开始继续模拟你从金刚智里出来后的情景。”说着,太乙真人示意武二郎向四周看,示意他:“这里是山顶!”然后太乙真人问:“武将军,您感觉怎么样?”
武二郎笑着说:“我感觉很好笑!”
旁边的旗手立刻站直了,举起了令旗,高呼,“极乐世界(三禅天,如图6)!”人们又开始哈哈大笑,唱歌跳舞了。
接下来,就和4.3节的描述类似了,太乙真人帮助武二郎逃跑。
Taiyi Real Human continued, “Today
you will not enter the four states of Philosopher-Stone Intelligence. We will
begin simulating what it will be like when you emerge from the
Philosopher-Stone Intelligence from this moment.” Saying this, Taiyi Real Human
gestured for Martial Second Wolf to look around, indicating, “This is the
mountaintop!” Then Taiyi Real Human asked, “General Zhang, how do you feel?”
Martial Second Wolf laughed and
said, “I feel very funny!”
The flag bearer beside him
immediately stood up straight, raised the command flag, and shouted,
"Bliss World (third meditation sky, as shown in Figure 6)!"People
began to laugh again, sing, and dance.
What follows is like the
description in Section 4.3: Taiyi Real Human helps Martial Second Wolf escape.
武二郎发现太乙真人和假熬忖都真的 “一起去的,一起回来了,” 非常高兴。假熬忖把他送到了一处长满高草的平地,回去了。接武二郎的卫兵对他说: “张将军!您刚接受完鞭刑,请您立刻趴在担架上,我们抬您回驻地。” 武二郎高兴地趴在了担架上。卫兵们一看,女娲娘娘真神呐!武二郎痊愈了(注3)!他们快步走向战马,上马之后对仍趴在担架上的武二郎大喊:“那个担架是女娲娘娘的道具,不许我们带走!” 然后,他们扬鞭策马,跑了。武二郎气愤地蹦起来了,大叫: “兔崽子!你们敢戏弄我!看我不削你!”
注3,武二郎的病并没有痊愈。此后直至第五章《拯救计划》都是在为武二郎治病。
Martial Second Wolf was very happy
to find out that both Taiyi Real Man and Fake Aocun had really gone together
and returned together. After escorting Martial Second Wolf to a flat area
covered in tall grass, the fake Aocun returned. The guards who met him said,
"General Zhang! You've just been whipped. Please lie down on the stretcher
face down immediately and we'll carry you back to the base." Martial
Second Wolf happily dove on the stretcher. The guards were overjoyed. Nuwa was
truly divine! Martial Second Wolf had recovered (Note 3)! They quickly
approached their warhorses, mounted them, and shouted at Martial Second Wolf,
who was still lying on the stretcher face down, "That stretcher is Nuwa's
prop. We're not allowed to take it!" Then, whipping their horses, they
sped off. Martial Second Wolf sprang up in fury, bellowing: “You bastards! Dare
to mock me! Just wait till I get my hands on you!”
Note 3: Martial Second Wolf's
illness was not cured. From then until Chapter 5, "Salvation Plan,"
the focus was on treating Martial Second Wolf's illness.

传说,他们一路快马扬鞭,准备到杭州好好吃一顿。没想到在他们找饭店的时候,就遇见熬忖了。武二郎认为那个熬忖的演员和女娲还在做升天仪式的那个场地呢,这位可能真是熬忖,就过去盘问。
他们又没想到,熬忖来到杭州是有准备的。她的卫兵立刻展开了作战队形,有几个卫兵爬到了房顶和墙头,形成了对武二郎半包围的阵势。武二郎他们是来杭州看病的,没穿盔甲,只随身携带了短剑等轻武器。如果真的打起来了,武二郎他们占不到便宜,就准备立刻派人去当地的警察局找援军。就在这危急时刻,女娲出现了,说这位熬忖是她从湖北瑶族地区请来的演员,并请他们俩吃饭,和解。
Legend says it that they galloped
all the way, eager to feast in Hangzhou. Unexpectedly, while searching for a
restaurant, they encountered Aocun. Believing the actor playing Aocun was still
at the site where Nuwa performed her ascension ritual, Martial Second Wolf
thought this might be the real Aocun and went over to question them.
They hadn't anticipated that Aocun
had come to Hangzhou prepared. Her guards immediately formed a battle
formation, with several climbing onto rooftops and walls to encircle Martial
Second Wolf. Martial Second Wolf and his companions had come to Hangzhou for
medical treatment. They wore no armor and carried only light weapons like short
swords. If a fight broke out, they wouldn't have advantage. They were ready to
send someone to the local police station for reinforcements. Just as the
situation grew critical, Nuwa appeared. She explained that the Aocun was an
actor she had invited from the Yao ethnic region of Hubei. She then invited
both parties to a meal to resolve the conflict.
女娲让随从回去鲵丸宫取来了西凤酒。西凤酒是夏国的国酒。在饭店的包房里,他们就谈起了狭谷关战役(参见4.1节)。熬忖说武二郎战败了。武二郎不承认,认为自己胜利了。
在很长时间的不融洽的和解谈判之后,女娲建议不要再谈这个话题了,提议武二郎和熬忖喝交杯酒,尽释前嫌。武二郎不喝,这可让女娲和熬忖尴尬了。
无意之中,武二郎看见熬忖在窗前吹风时向两边扯了一下自己的裙子,回忆起了在瑶池时,熬忖就是那么扯裙子的,就同意喝交杯酒了。
Nuwa instructed her attendants to
fetch Xi Feng (i.e., Western Phoenix) Alcohol from Salamander Bolus Palace. Xi
Feng Alcohol was the national liquor of the Xia Kingdom. In the private dining
room of the restaurant, they began discussing the Battle of Gorge Pass (see
section 4.1). Aocun declared that Martial Second Wolf had been defeated.
Martial Second Wolf refused to concede, insisting he had won.
After a long period of tense
reconciliation talks, Nuwa suggested dropping the subject and proposed that
Martial Second Wolf and Aocun drink a cup of alcohol with arms intertwined
together to bury the hatchet. Martial Second Wolf refused to drink, which left
Nuwa and Aocun feeling awkward.
Inadvertently, Martial Second Wolf
saw Aocun pulling her skirt to the sides while enjoying the breeze in front of
the window. He recalled that Aocun pulled her skirt in the same way when they
were in Yao Pond, so he agreed to drink the Alcohol with arms intertwined.
