崔凤龙说：“凤玲！那当时，刘团长讲这故事时，还解释说，就在常公这么撕心裂肺地哭的时候，他的宿命通被激发出来了。刘团长说，人的记忆是与情感储存在一起的。宿命通就是能回忆起全部前半辈子的能力。”

Uncle Dragon said, “Fengling (My Mom)! At that time, when Troupe Leader Liu told this story, he also explained that just as Constant Fair was crying so heartbreakingly, his Fate Through was triggered. Troupe Leader Liu said that human memory is stored with emotions. Fate Through is the ability to recall the entire first half of one's life.”

妈妈说：“我明白了！我以前听说过。他想通了，回忆起了很小时候的事，发现了他经历中怪事的原因，所以他才能找出解决办法，得出宿命的结论。这么说，宿命论不迷信。”

Mom said, “I see! I've heard that before. He figured it out, recalled through to the time he was very young, and discovered the cause of the strange things in his experience so he could figure out the solution and conclude predestination. In this case, fatalism is not superstitious.”

崔凤龙说：“你听说过，好！刘团长说，从这故事看，常公的宿命智不是一直都有。刘团长还说，这故事有几个关键点，其中宿命智和诅咒死不瞑目，你们必须明白，否则，这故事就不是桃花劫故事了。”

Uncle Dragon said, “You've heard of it, good! Troupe Leader Liu said that from this story, Constant Fair's Fate Through was not always there. He also said that there are several key points in this story, among which the Fate Through and the curse of Death with Eyes Open, which you must understand, otherwise, this story is not Peach Flower Catastrophe any more.”

妈妈问：“死不瞑目是怎么回事？”

Mom asked, “What to say about Death with Eyes Open?”

崔凤龙说：“故事前面不是说刘员外用死不瞑目诅咒了常公么。当时刘团长讲，下这个诅咒就是一辈子不断地对被诅咒的人做好事，而只求他一件事。那个人知道或者后来知道了下咒人的意愿，有能力办却没有兑现。等下咒人一死，被诅咒的人就受不了了，死不了也活不长。刘团长说，这个诅咒就没有其他的解法，只有顺解，就是按照下咒人的意思去做。

Uncle Dragon said, "Didn't it say earlier in the story that Publican Liu cursed Constant Fair with Death with Eyes Open. At that time, Troupe Leader Liu said that to cast this curse was to keep doing good things to the being cursed person for life, while only asking him one favor for return. That person knew or later learned of the wish of the person who placed the curse, had the ability to do it but did not fulfill it. After the curse caster dies, the being cursed person falls into the curse, even not die, will not live long. Troupe Leader Liu said that there is no other way to solve this curse, but to fulfill the caster’s wish.”

妈妈叨咕：“被诅咒的人心里有愧，总想着是回事。”

Mom chattered: “The being cursed person's heart is guilty, always pondering it.”

崔凤龙说：“对！就是有愧。另外，刘团长讲，人死了之后，这个愧就不一样了，因为没办法弥补了，所以这愧的力量非常强大，以至于能让人生病，严重的，极端现象可能导致被诅咒的人急火攻心，猝死。”

Uncle Dragon said, “Right! It's about having a guilty conscience. In addition, Troupe Leader Liu said that after the curse caster dies, this guilt is not the same, because there is no way to make up for it, so the power of this guilt is so strong that it can make the being cursed person sick, and in severe cases, the extreme phenomenon may lead to the cursed person get a heart attack, a sudden death.”

崔凤龙说：“当时，刘团长还开玩笑呢！他说，你要是想给谁下死不瞑目这个诅咒，你得先知道他是否有宿命通。你一辈子对他做好事，他都记不住，那可是白费力！”

Uncle Dragon said: "At that time, Troupe Leader Liu was still joking! He said that if you want to put the curse of Death with Eyes Open on someone, you must first know whether he has Fate Through. You have done good things to him all your life, he can't remember, that's a waste indeed!”

妈妈说：“说来都是知识！怎么看一个人是否有宿命通？”

崔凤龙问：“你怎么想起问这个？”

Mom said, “It's all knowledge! How to see if a person has Fate Through?”

Uncle Dragon replied: “Why do you think of asking this?”

妈妈说：“我想知道卢岩是否有宿命通的潜能？”

崔凤龙说：“啊！当时刘团长讲了很多神通。我们都听不懂。那时，我们还都没结婚呢！谁还能想着孩子！没人注意到这个问题。刘团长说，你们听不懂，我说你们听，听个热闹。你们不懂可不能给别人讲；给人家讲错了，那才害人呢！”

Mom said, “I wonder if our Luyan has the potential of Fate Through?”

Uncle Dragon said, "Ah! At that time, Troupe Leader Liu talked about many divine powers. We didn't understand. At that time, we were not married! Who think of children! Nobody noticed the question with this. Troupe Leader Liu said that you don't understand, I say you listen, listen to the hilarious affairs. If you don't understand, you should not tell others. You tell people wrong, then it will hurt people hard!”

妈妈又问：“一共有多少种神通？”

崔凤龙回答：这个我记得，我是刻意记住的，希望将来也能懂得一两种。一共有7种神通：宿命通（参见第10章），肉眼通（参见第3章），天眼通（参见第12章），慧眼通（参见第16章），法眼通（参见第11章），佛眼通（参见第18章），漏尽通（参见第15章）。

Mom asked again, “How many kinds of divine powers are there?”

Uncle Dragon replied: I remember this! I remembered it deliberately, and I hope to have one or two in the future. There are 7 categories of divine powers in total: Fate Through (see Chapter 10), Flesh Eye Through (see Chapter 3), Celestial Eye Through (see Chapter 12), Gnostic Eye Through (see Chapter 16), Juristic Eye Through (see Chapter 11), God’s Eye Through (see Chapter 18), and Leakage End Through (see Chapter 15).

妈妈说：“人家刘团长是念过大书的人！”

Mom said, “That Troupe Leader Liu is a man who has studied a lot!”

崔凤龙说：“那是！他在讲这故事时，说，在这儿，故事里用了中医理论，佛教理论，道教，鬼神说，中庸等二十几种理论从正面详细论述了常公的病因、病理、和治疗，都分析得透彻明白。他讲了一些，我不懂，讲不了。”

Uncle Dragon said, “That's true! When he was telling this story, he said, here, the story used traditional Chinese medicine theory, Buddhist theory, Taoism, Ghost ideology, God ideology, Confucianism, and so on more than twenty kinds of philosophies from the front to discuss in detail the cause of Constant Fair's disease, pathology, and treatment, all analyzed thoroughly. He told some of them, I don't understand and can't tell them.”

妈妈说：“咱就听故事听个热闹。即便你能讲，我也听不明白！这故事我听明白了。你是说，刘东家向常公陷害常公他自己。常公自己觉着有愧，后悔，就病了。我的理解，桃花女对常公特别有吸引力；这一个事儿就能让常公憋出病来。再加上刘员外对常公有养育之恩，常公不同意这婚事，刘员外因此病情加重，死了，所以，常公的心里矛盾重重，解不开心里的结，以至于生了病。”

Mom said, “Let us just listen to the story for fun. Even if you could tell it, I would not understand it! I understand the story. You are saying that Publican Liu framed Constant Fair. Constant Fair felt guilty, regretted it, and became ill. As I understand it, the Peach Flower Girl was particularly attractive to Constant Fair; this alone could have made Constant Fair sick. Coupled with the fact that Publican Liu had nurtured him, he did not agree to the marriage, and Publican Liu's condition worsened as a result and died, so Constant Fair's heart was full of contradictions, and he could not unravel the knot in his heart, to the point where he became ill.”
