2.2.5 宝莲灯 Treasury Lotus Lamp
武二郎（号二郎神，童子佛，如图2.2.5-40）来到夏国的皇宫后，女娲（如图35）直接接见了他。她听完了武二郎的讲述，又看了跟踪观察报告，回答：“二哥！你是被巫毒女妖给诅咒了！我能够治疗你，让你痊愈！一般我们治疗诅咒的过程是这样的，首先发现她是如何诅咒你的。如果发现了，对你进行有针对性地驱魔，那很快你就能痊愈。如果发现不了她是如何诅咒你的，我可以帮你全面归正，诅咒就自然地解除了，只是会花费多些时间。”
After Martial Second Wolf (fames Second Wolf God, Boy Buddha, see figure 2.2.5-40) arrived at the palace of the Xia Kingdom, Nuwa (see Fig. 35) met him directly. After listening to Martial Second Wolf's story and reading the follow-up observation report, she replied: "Second Brother! You are cursed by the voodoo demoness! I can treat you and make you well! Generally, the process of curing curses is like this. First, find out how she cursed you. If we find out, we will exorcise you in a targeted way, and you will be cured soon. If we can't find out how she cursed you, I can help you to correct yourself completely, and the curse will be lifted naturally, but it will take more time."
这时屏风后面传来了吵闹声，女娲说：“二哥！你先等一会儿，我家来了一位重要的客人（熬忖）。我去招呼一下，马上回来！”
前文熬忖见到女娲就威胁要扣押女娲作为龙国和夏国谈判的筹码。此时，为什么熬忖这么大胆，就赶来夏国了？答：武二郎病了就意味着女娲和熬忖对武二郎下蛊成功了，就相当于她是武二郎的妻子了。伤害熬忖就会伤害对武二郎的疾病的治疗，所以熬忖此时已经是夏国和华国的贵宾了。
At this time, there was a noise behind the screen. Nuwa said, "Second brother! Wait for a moment. An important guest came to my house. I will go and greet her and will be back soon!"
In the previous article, upon meeting Nuwa, Aocun threatened to detain her as a bargaining chip in negotiations between the Dragon Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom. Why was Aocun so bold now as to rush to the Xia Kingdom? Answer: Martial Second Wolf's illness meant that Nuwa and Aocun had successfully cast the curse on him, effectively making Aocun his wife. Harming Aocun would compromise the treatment of Martial Second Wolf's illness, so Aocun was already a distinguished guest of both the Xia Kingdom and the Hua Kingdom.
武二郎听见很多人在屏风的后面说话，但听不清他们在说什么。忽然她听见一位宫女大喊：“找到了！” 女娲回答：“临摹下来！” 随后，她拿着一张羊皮纸出来了，笑着问：“二哥！你从瑶池下来的时候，他们是不是在你的额头画了一只眼睛（如图40）？”
Martial Second Wolf heard many people talking behind the screen but couldn't make out what they were saying. Suddenly he heard a maid shouting, "Found it!" Nuwa replied, "Copy it!" Then she came out with a piece of parchment and asked with a smile, "Second brother! When you came down from Yaochi (Yao Pond), did they draw an eye on your forehead?"
武二郎回答：“是的，你怎么知道的？”
女娲回答：“她们下诅咒时，会在被诅咒人的额头画一只眼睛。你看看那眼睛是不是这样儿？” 说着她把画着一只眼睛的羊皮纸放到了桌子上。
Martial Second Wolf replied, “Yes, how do you know that?”
Nuwa replied, “When they place a curse, they draw an eye on the forehead of the cursed person. Can you see if that eye looks like this?” With that she placed the parchment with one eye drawn on it on the table.
武二郎回答：“我没看见过，我的护卫长看见了，我让他们为我洗掉了，他就在外面。”
女娲对旁边的侍女说：“传张将军的话，让护卫长进来！”
Martial Second Wolf replied, “I haven't seen it, my chief of guards saw it, and I asked them to wash it off for me, he's right outside.”
Nuwa said to the maid next to her, “Pass the word of General Zhang to have the head guard come in!”
护卫长进来后确认了是这样的眼睛，并指出了眼睛画在武二郎额头的位置（如图40所示）。女娲把羊皮纸折了起来，贴在武二郎的额头看。她还围着他转圈走，然后又把羊皮纸贴在了武二郎的额头，还上下移动羊皮纸，打量着。女娲这是在干什么？
The headguard came in and confirmed that it was such an eye and pointed out where the eye was drawn on the forehead (as shown in fig. 40) of Martial Second Wolf. Nuwa folded the parchment and stuck it to his forehead to see. She also walked around him in a circle and then put the parchment on Martial Second Wolf's forehead again, and moved it up and down, surveying it. What was Nuwa doing?
前文2.2.2节《瑶池圣火》中，武二郎获得了四禅天的经历（如图1至8）。现在女娲要做的是把武二郎从天上下来的经历转变成知识，打开他的天眼。为了让武二郎对学习天眼感兴趣，女娲不停地看他的天眼。
为什么熬忖要为武二郎开天眼？这和他们俩的婚姻有什么关系？武二郎的天眼是熬忖送给他的礼物，这样俩人就化敌为友了，具有了成为夫妻的基本前题。
In Section 2.2.2 of the previous article, "Holy Fire of Yao Pond," Martial Second Wolf experienced the Fourth Meditation Sky (see Figures 1-8). Now, Nuwa's mission is to transform Martial Second Wolf's experience descending from skies into knowledge and open his celestial eye. To encourage Martial Second Wolf's interest in learning about the celestial eye, Nuwa repeatedly observed his celestial eye.
Why did Aocun open Martial Second Wolf's celestial eye? What does this have to do with their marriage? Martial Second Wolf's celestial eye was a gift from Aocun, transforming their former foes into friends and fulfilling the basic prerequisites for becoming husband and wife.
随后，女娲拿出了一本名为《宝莲灯》的书，递给了武二郎，说：“龙国的巫术理论体系和我们的九黎世界（注1）一样。二哥！你先看看这本书。后天你再来这里，你再给我讲讲你和熬忖作战时的怪异经历，我们将用这本书里的理论来解释熬忖的阴谋诡计。我再研究研究，看看熬忖是怎样让你失忆的？你失忆的那段时间里发生了什么事？能不能修补你失去的记忆？”
Then, Nuwa took out a book titled “Treasury Lotus Lamp” and handed it to Martial Second Wolf, saying, "The theoretical system of witchcraft in Dragon Kingdom is identical to that of our Jiuli world (note 1). Second Brother! Look at this book first. Come back here the day after tomorrow and tell me about your strange experiences fighting Aocun. We'll use the theories in this book to explain her devious schemes. I'll study it further to figure out how she erased your memory. What happened during that time? Can we repair the lost memories?"
注1，九黎义为九众。唯心主义以清净为天，烦恼为地。众生即是众烦恼，烦恼就是众生，所以九众就是图23至31所示的九地。中华文化中的九黎世界就是佛教所说的大千世界（参见第13章《苦谛》）。
Note 1: Jiuli (九黎) signifies Nine Crowds. Theism posits quietness as sky and annoyances as earth. Sentient beings are the annoyances, and annoyances are the sentients. Thus, the Nine Crowds correspond to the Nine lands depicted in Figures 23 to 31. The Jiuli world in Chinese culture is equivalent to the Great Grand Worlds System described in Buddhism (see chapter 13 Bitter Crux).
