15.5.1-3 血溅轩辕 Blood Shattered on the Cross

张氏母子被主管宫女安排到了客栈。半夜，三郎的房间门忽然开了，进来了一位英俊少年。三郎惊醒了，手抓住了身边的宝剑，没动，观察着进来的人。那位少年径直走到了屋地的中央，跪了下来，给张三郎磕头。张三郎坐了起来，看着他。

Mrs. Zhang and her son were arranged to stay in the inn by the maid in charge. In the middle of the night, the door of Third Wolf's room suddenly opened, and a handsome young man came in. Third Wolf woke up with a start, grabbed the sword beside him, and did not move, observing the person who came in. The young man walked straight to the center of the room, knelt, and kowtowed to Third Wolf Zhang. Third Wolf sat up, looked at him.

这位英俊的少年说：“我就是鲵丸宫无热池里的那条大黑鲵，自知罪孽深重，但求上神明天饶我一命。作为回报，我告诉你一个关于《天书》的秘密。明天，当你治好了有巢氏公主的病，国王会赏赐你。别的你什么也不要，就只要女娲娘娘寝宫西厢房北墙柜子中格中放着的一只4500克重的铜锤。你拿着那锤子，一直朝南走。三天三夜后，你会遇见一片低洼地。低洼地的中央有座昊天古墓。墓碑上没有字。你用那只铜锤在无字墓碑上连敲三下，就会得到天书两部。”

The handsome young man said, "I am the big black salamander in the Non-Fervidity Pond of Salamander Bolus Palace. I know that I have committed serious sins, but I beg upper god to spare my life tomorrow. In return, I will tell you a secret about Sky Book. Tomorrow, after you cure Princess Have Nest's illness, the king will reward you. You don't want anything else, just a 4,500-gram copper hammer placed in the cabinet beside the north wall of the west wing of the residence of Goddess Nuwa. Take the hammer and keep walking south. After three days and three nights, you will come across a low land. In the center of the low-lying area is an ancient tomb of Sun God. There are no words on the tombstone. Use the copper hammer to knock on the wordless tombstone three times, you will get two Sky Books."

这时，屋子外面有人喊叫，“来贼了！” 有人看见进这屋了，有人敲三郎房间的门。那位年轻人着急地说，“我说完了，这就离开了。” 说完，他打开房间里的柜子的门，进去了。三郎去开了门，问：“发生了什么事？”

伙计说，“来贼了，有人看见那贼进了你的房间！”

At this time, someone outside the room shouted, "There's a thief!" Someone saw him enter the room, and someone knocked on Third Wolf's room door. The young man said anxiously, "I'm done, I'm leaving now." After that, he opened the door of the cabinet in the room and went in.

Third Wolf went to open the door and asked, "What happened?" The guy said, "There's a thief, someone saw the thief enter your room!"

张三郎回答：“我在睡觉，没看见贼！”

伙计连忙道歉说：“我们的客栈是王室指定的客栈，要保证客人的安全！你没事就好，抱歉，打搅了！”

三郎关门后，回来打开了柜子的门，发现里面是空的，什么也没有！“

Third Wolf Zhang replied: "I was sleeping and didn't see the thief!"

The waiter quickly apologized and said: "Our inn is designated by the royal family, and we must ensure the safety of our guests! I'm glad you're okay. Sorry to bother you!"

After closing the door, Third Wolf came back and opened the door of the cabinet, only to find it was empty, nothing inside! "



2. 血溅轩辕 Blood Shattered on the Cross

第二天上午，有巢氏公主的主管宫女来告诉张三郎，说他要求的东西已经备齐了。进入鲵丸宫时，三郎发现到处都是来看热闹的人。他用刀割破了左腕，向图15.5.1.3-1B的那个大铜盆里滴了十滴血。然后士兵和厨师们就开始杀狗，把狗血也都收集到了那个大铜盆里了。三郎要用这狗血去喷那条大黑鲵（代表金童）的头，这就是血溅轩辕，为什么？轩是古代战车前面的那个横撑（如图15.5.1.3-1）。轩辕代表拉动华夏战车的两匹马，即金童（黄帝）和玉女（螺祖）。十滴血代表他要牺牲十年的阳寿来把金童和玉女绑缚在华夏战车上，来驱动华夏战车。当然，此时张三郎是在表演，并不是他已经决定了要牺牲自己来制造金童，但是后来女娲和有巢氏合力促成了这件事，所以这是真的血溅轩辕。

The next morning, the princess’ supervisor maid came to tell Third Wolf Zhang that the things he had requested had been prepared. Upon entering the Salamander Bolus Palace, Third Wolf found people everywhere who had come to see what was going on. He cut his left wrist with a knife and dropped ten drops of blood into the large copper basin on the left in Figure 15.5.1.3-1B. Then the soldiers and the cooks started to kill the dogs and collected all the dog blood into that big copper basin as well. Third Wolf Zhang was going to use this dog blood to spray the head of that big black salamander (representing the golden boy), which is blood splattering the cross, why? The Cross (shown in fig. 15.5.1.3-1) represents the two horses (represents Golden Boy and Jade Girl) that pull the chariot of Hua-Xia (i.e. China). The ten drops of blood represent that he will sacrifice ten years of his solar life (i.e. daily life, mundane life) to bind the Golden Boy and the Jade Girl to the Hua-Xia Chariot. Of course, at this point, Third Wolf Zhang was acting, not that he had already decided to sacrifice himself to create the Golden Boy and Jade Girl, but then Nuwa and Have Nest combined their efforts to make this happen, so this is a real blood splattering of the cross

然后，张三郎开始向无热池里扬生石灰，很快人们就听到刺耳的婴儿哭声，那是中华大鲵的叫声。他继续喷洒生石灰，那条大鲵就出来了，追他。由于距离太远，三郎不能向大鲵喷黑狗血。周围的人们喊：“靠近点儿，用狗血喷它的头。” 可是三郎还是舍不得用黑狗血。三郎试探了几次，都不成功。这时有个可能是坏女人，突然喊，“公主笑了！” 三郎听后，就变得勇敢起来了，向大黑鲵泼出了第一桶血。大黑鲵滚动了几次后，又开始追三郎。三郎三次泼血后，大黑鲵开始不停地翻滚，和自己搏斗。

Then, Third Wolf Zhang began to throw quicklime into the non-fervidity pond, and soon people heard the shrill cry of a baby, which was the cry of the Chinese giant salamander. He continued to spray quicklime; the giant salamander came out and chased him. Because the distance was too far, Third Wolf could not spray the giant salamander with black dog blood. People around shouted, "Come closer and spray its head with dog blood." But Third Wolf was still reluctant to use black dog blood. He tried several times but failed. At this time, a woman who might be a bad woman suddenly shouted, "The princess is laughing!" After hearing this, Third Wolf became brave and threw the first bucket of blood at the giant black salamander. After the giant black salamander rolled a few times, it began to chase him again. After throwing blood three times, the giant black salamander began to roll over and fight with itself.

等到大黑鲵精疲力尽了，张三郎拿着一把桃木剑，走到了大黑鲵的近前，问：“投降不？” 大黑鲵点点头。三郎说：“你以后不许缠着有巢氏公主！” 大黑鲵又点点头。三郎又说：“今天我不杀你！“ 大黑鲵又点点头。张三郎向欢呼的群众说：“降伏了！请大家帮忙用无热池里的圣水给它洗洗。” 士兵和宫女们开始向大黑鲵泼水，不久，人们开始相互泼水（如图5，6）。

When the black salamander was exhausted, Third Wolf Zhang took a peach wood sword, walked up to the black salamander and asked, "Do you surrender?" The black salamander nodded. Third Wolf said, "You are not allowed to pester Princess Have Nest in the future!" The black salamander nodded again. Third Wolf said again, "I won't kill you today!" The black salamander nodded again. Third Wolf Zhang said to the cheering crowd, "It has surrendered! Please help wash him with the holy water in the Non-Fervidity Pond." Soldiers and palace maids began to splash water on the black salamander, and soon people began to splash water on each other (see figs. 5, 6).

好啦！列位看官，现在知道咱们讲的故事就是泼水节的缘由了。因为张三郎是玉皇大帝，金口玉牙呀！ 那他为什么说无热池里的水是圣水？无热池，又名天池（如图3），颠池，代表神识（即净识）之水，因为净识害有，所以此水可以洗除业垢污秽，就是圣水的本义。

Well! Ladies and Gentlemen, now you know the story we are telling is the origin of the Water Splashing Festival. Because Third Wolf Zhang is the Jade Emperor (Sun God), with a golden mouth and jade teeth! Then why did he say that the water in the Non-Fervidity Pond is the holy water? The Non-Fervidity Pond, also known as the Sky Pond (see fig. 3) and the Summit Pond, represents the water of God-senses (i.e. immaculate senses). Because immaculate senses harm Haves, therefore this water can wash away the filth of karma, which is the original meaning of holy water.

3. 一意孤行 Go His Own Way

根据传说，有巢氏公主的病就这样被治好了，为什么？这很明显是夏国的国王和王后（即有巢氏的父母）和华国的国王和王后（即张三郎的父母）商量好了，要一同做天道轮回，然后两国合并为华夏（即中国）。为此有巢氏必须嫁给张三郎，但她不知道他是个怎样的人，所以才抑郁寡欢。现在一看，张三郎不但相貌端庄，身体健壮，而且才华横溢，她爱上他了。

According to legend, Princess Have Nest was cured. Why? It was obvious that the king and queen of Xia (i.e., Have Nest's parents) and the king and queen of Hua (i.e., Third Wolf Zhang's parents) had agreed to do the godly cycle together, and then the two countries would merge into Hua-Xia (i.e., China). For this reason, Princess Have Nest must marry Third Wolf Zhang, but she didn't know what kind of person he was, so she was depressed. Now she saw that Third Wolf Zhang was not only handsome, strong, but also well educated, and she fell in love with him.

夏国的国王问张三郎要什么赏赐，三郎顺从了前文中的那个英俊少年话，只要那只4500克重的铜锤。这可把张夫人气坏了。出了夏国的王宫，张三郎一直往南走。张夫人怒不可遏地问，“我们家在北方，你去南方干什么？” 张三郎回答他要去找昊天古墓（即古代太阳神的坟）。张夫人受不了了，我可没时间陪你旅游，就自己回家了。

The king of Xia asked Third Wolf Zhang what reward he wanted. He obeyed the handsome young man in the previous article and only wanted the 4500-gram copper hammer. This made Mrs. Zhang very angry. After leaving the palace of Xia, Third Wolf Zhang walked south. Mrs. Zhang was furious and asked, "Our home is in the north, why are you going to the south?" He replied that he was going to find the tomb of the ancient sun god. Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, went home by herself.
