2.2.6 仙菇 Fairy Mushrooms
武二郎（号二郎神，童子佛）回到了客栈。吃饭的时间，两位鲵丸宫的宫女端来了一个盘子，上面放着三个泡过水的裸盖菇（注1），没说话。武二郎看后，迷惑不解地问：“二位姐姐，你们是什么意思？让我吃了它吗？”
Martial Second Wolf (fames Second Wolf God, Boy Buddha) returned to the inn. At mealtime, two palace maids from Salamander Bolus Palace brought in a tray holding three soaked Psilocybe mushrooms (Note 1), saying nothing. Martial Second Wolf looked at them, puzzled, and asked, “What do you two sisters mean? Are you asking me to eat these?”
注1，裸盖菇（如图2.2.6-35）是原产于墨西哥的一种具有强烈致幻作用的蘑菇，中国人称作仙菇，裸盖菇。裸字义为这蘑菇能让人进入纯思想意识状态，一切烦恼，包括肉体的感觉，全部消失。盖，义为五盖（参见14.2.8 五盖），是上帝为亚当和夏娃穿上的衣服。也就是现代的穆斯林国家要求女人和男人穿的衣服，欧洲人的领带也是这种 “盖” 的概念（参见14.2.2 九结）。读者当知，此中有上帝创造亚当和夏娃的原理。这里说的衣服（即盖）是 “心衣”。亚当义为亚当识，即无意识的污染部分。夏娃义为夏娃识，即前意识。
Note 1: Psilocybe (as shown in Figure 2.2.6-35) is a highly hallucinogenic mushroom native to Mexico. Chinese refer to it as the “fairy mushroom” or “naked cover mushroom.” The word “naked” signifies that this mushroom induces a state of pure consciousness, where all afflictions—including bodily sensations—vanish. The term “cover” refers to the Five Covers (see 14.2.8 Five Covers), the garments God clothed Adam and Eve with. This concept aligns with modern Muslim countries' dress codes for women and men, and European neckties also embody this “covering” concept (see 14.2.2 Nine Ties). Readers should understand that this contains the principle by which God created Adam and Eve. The garments (i.e., coverings) referred to here are the “garments of the heart.” Adam signifies Adam-sense, representing the unconsciously polluted aspect. Eve signifies Eve-sense, representing the preconscious.
那位宫女主管在一边看着，对身边的宫女说：“你去洗洗手，帮张将军把蘑菇撕开！”
武二郎尝试了一小条，说：“没放任何佐料，连盐都没放！？”
过了一会儿，女娲派来的宫女问：“张将军！你有没有在别的地方经历过和我们现在类似的场面？” （注，他在2.2.2《瑶池圣火》中经历过。）
The maid supervisor watched from the side and said to the maid next to her, "Go wash your hands and help General Zhang tear the mushrooms!"
Martial Second Wolf tasted a small strip and said, “No condiments, not even salt!?”
After a while, the palace maid sent by Nuwa asked, “General Zhang! Have you ever experienced a similar scene to the one we are experiencing elsewhere.” (Note: He experienced this in 2.2.2 “Holy Fire in Yao Pond.”)
武二郎回答：“没有！这是我第一次经历你们这种奇怪的待客之道！” （注，他不记得他在瑶池经历过的同样的情景了。）
宫女向武二郎解释说：“我们是在奉从女娲的命令，在努力尝试发现您丢失的记忆。女娲请您把这几个蘑菇吃了，看看你感觉怎么样？” 武二郎看着蘑菇犹豫了。
Martial Second Wolf replied, “No! This is the first time I've experienced this strange hospitality of yours!” (Note: He couldn't recall experiencing the same scene at Yao Pond.)
The palace maid explained to Martial Second Wolf, “We are following Nuwa's orders and are working to try to discover your lost memories. Nuwa has asked you to eat these mushrooms and see how you feel. Martial Second Wolf looked at the mushrooms and hesitated.
宫女说：“张将军，我们知道您是华国的著名将军。华国和夏国是友好国家。你在我们这里出了问题会影响我们两国的关系。这蘑菇没问题，可以吃！” 说着，她拿了两条放进了嘴里，吃了。
The palace maid said, “General Zhang, we know that you are a famous general of Hua Nation. Hua and our Xia country are friendly countries. If you have a problem in our place, it will affect the relationship between our two countries. These mushrooms are fine to eat!” With that, she took two stripes and put them in her mouth and ate them.
武二郎吃了那蘑菇之后，宫女主管对他的护卫说：“这蘑菇有毒！但是药量小，过两天他就没事了。张将军在12小时之内不能喝酒，不要睡觉，少吃肉。原因是，如果他睡着了就感受不到毒药的作用了。喝酒吃肉会影响感知能力。”
卫队长回答：“您这么说我们就明白了。那我们也不喝酒吃肉了，免得他看了，馋得慌！我们就看着他，陪他唠唠嗑，让他保持清醒。”
After Martial Second Wolf ate the mushroom, the head maid said to his guards, "This mushroom is poisonous! But the dose is small, and he will be fine in two days. General Zhang must not drink alcohol, sleep, or eat meat within 12 hours. The reason is that if he falls asleep, he will not feel the effects of the poison. Drinking alcohol and eating meat will affect perception."
The captain of the guards replied: "We understand what you said. Then we won't drink wine or eat meat, lest he sees us and gets greedy! We will just watch him and chat with him to keep him sober."

第二天早晨，那两位女娲的侍女又来到了武二郎的住处，问他感觉怎么样？
武二郎拿出了《宝莲灯》说：“这书真的是一盏灯啊！把九黎世界（即唯心世界，如图1至34）照得清清楚楚！昨天你们给我吃的那蘑菇是迷幻药。那迷幻的状态，轻的时候是在葫芦狗的状态（如图13至9），严重的状态接近葫芦娃和葫芦丝（如图8和7；参见2.2.2《瑶池圣火》）。
The next morning, the two maids of Nuwa came to Martial Second Wolf's room again and asked him how he felt.
Martial Second Wolf took out the "Treasury Lotus Lamp" and said, "This book is really a lamp! It illuminates Jiuli World (i.e., Nine Crowds Worlds, Theist World, as shown on figs. 1 to 34) clearly! The mushrooms you gave me yesterday are psychedelic drugs. The psychedelic state is like the state of gourd dog when it is mild (as shown in Figs.13 to 9; see.2.2.2 "Holy Fire in Yao Pond"), and the serious hallucination is close to the state of gourd dog and Hulusi (as shown in Figs. 8 and 7).
这两位侍女回去向女娲报告，回来后说：“您昨天吃的蘑菇是海外扶桑国（古代中国人对墨西哥的称呼）产的仙菇（墨西哥的裸盖菇）。据我们所知，世界上只有这种蘑菇能达到巫毒女妖用你祭天时送你去的地方：四禅天。”
四禅天（参见第12章《禅》） ，如图32，又名三昧地，三昧真火，就是.2.2.2节中所说的瑶池圣火。三昧地是九黎中的术语，义为三个隐藏着的土地：净土，中土，和秽土，如图32，33，和34。
After the two maids went to report to Nuwa, they came back and said, "The mushrooms you ate yesterday were the fairy mushrooms grown overseas in Fusang (the ancient Chinese name for Mexico). As far as we know, only this kind of mushroom in the world can reach the place where the voodoo demoness sent you when she used you to offer sacrifices to sky, the Fourth Meditation Sky.
Fourth Meditation Sky (see chapter 12 Meditation), as shown in Figure 32, are also known as Samadhi, Samadhi True Fire, which is the “sacred fire of Yao Pond” as described in Section 2.2.2. Samadhi is a term used in the Nine Crowds to mean the three hidden lands: immaculate land, middle earth, filthy land, as in Figures 32, 33, and 34.
侍女继续说：“净识害有。你进入金刚境后，四金刚智（如图1至4）杀死了你以前约十天的记忆。那记忆恢复不了了。补救的办法是我们再做一次祭天仪式。这次用药的剂量小，让你恰好到四禅天，不进入金刚境。这样就造出了你从打狗天（如图21）到四禅天的升天过程的记忆。这个记忆虽然不是你丢失的记忆，但有那些记忆的功能，能让你想明白这整件事。这样，巫毒女妖对你的诅咒就被移除了。您对此有什么看法？可能你需要和护卫商量，如果需要，我可以回避。”
The maid continued, "Immaculate senses harm haves. After you entered the ‘Philosopher-Stone Environment’, the Four Philosopher-Stone Intelligences (as shown in Figures 1 to 4) killed your previous memories of about ten days. That memory cannot be restored. The remedy is for us to perform the sky sacrifice ritual again. This time the dosage of the medicine is small, so that you just reach the Fourth Meditation Sky and do not enter the ‘Philosopher-Stone Environment’. In this way, you will create a memory of your ascension process from the Dog-beating Sky (as shown in Figure 21) to the Fourth Meditation Sky. Although this memory is not the memory you lost, it has the function of those memories and can help you figure out the whole affair. In this way, the curse of the voodoo demoness on you is removed. What do you think about this? Maybe you need to discuss it with your guards. If necessary, I can avoid it."
侍卫长问：“那个升天仪式有生命危险吗？”
侍女回答：“没有危险。这升天仪式的用药剂量比昨天那三个蘑菇的计量多，但比巫毒女妖所用的剂量少很多。”
The chief guard asked, "Is the ascension ritual life-threatening?"
The maid replied, "No. The dosage of the ascension ceremony is more than the three mushrooms yesterday, but much less than the dosage used by the voodoo demoness."
几个护卫自己出去商量了一下，回来后回答：“这升天仪式是治病的需要，与我们护卫的职责没有关系，全由武二郎自己决定。”
武二郎回答：“我既然来向女娲求医，就应该相信女娲的诊断和医治办法！”
Several guards went out to discuss it, and when they came back, they replied, "This ascension ritual is necessary for curing the disease and has nothing to do with our duties as guards. It is all decided by Martial Second Wolf himself."
Martial Second Wolf replied: "Since I came to Nuwa for medical treatment, I should trust Nuwa's diagnosis and treatment!"

侍女说：“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。”
武二郎回答：“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！？”
The maid said, "You have agreed to the remedy proposed by Nuwa. Now let's talk about the medical expenses. You come to our Salamander Bolus Palace for medical treatment. We don't charge for anything produced in our country, such as your accommodation, meals, and all the services provided by everyone in Xia Kingdom. But this magic mushroom is produced in Fusang (Mexico). We bought it, so we have to charge for it, 20 kilograms of gold."
Martial Second Wolf replied: "At the most, I only eat 100 grams, and you want 20 kilograms of gold. So, this mushroom is 200 times more expensive than gold!?"
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（即童子佛），已经付了100公斤黄金，他吃不起这蘑菇！”
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., 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.”

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 Heaven 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!”

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2.2.2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，告诉他逃跑的计划。然后武二郎假装晕了，被送去由几个美女为他洗澡。当他醒来后，就又看见假熬忖穿着原形毕露的蝉丝衣服站在窗前看着他。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。
Well, as the reader may have already seen, the story goes back to the “Holy Fire in Yao Pond” (see section 2.2.2). 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, and tells him the escape plan. Then Martial Second Wolf pretends to faint and is sent to be bathed by a few beautiful women. When he woke up, he saw the Fake Aocun standing in front of the window in his original cicada silk dress watching him again. Martial Second Wolf was very happy to find out that both Taiyi Real Human and Fake Aocun had really gone together and returned together.
假熬忖把武二郎送到了一处长满高草的平地，回去了。接他的卫兵对他说：“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！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！”
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! 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!”

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。
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.
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。
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2.2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。
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 2.2). 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.
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。
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.
