1. 炎帝寻母 Yan Creator Looks for Mother

随后，炎帝（即青帝，少昊，玉皇大帝）发现他们游行路线的旁边驻扎了许多兵营。兵营里的士兵争先恐后地出来看他们的游行队伍。临近永安南门的几公里范围内到处都是兵营。在从乾塘关出发后的第100天，炎帝的 “三千威仪” 仪仗队到达了永安的南门。人们看见城墙上插满了彩旗，城墙外是人的海洋。

Yan Creator (aka. Turquoise Creator) then realized that there were many barracks stationed next to their parade route. The soldiers in the barracks scrambled out to see their procession. There were barracks everywhere within a few kilometers near the south gate of Yongan. On the 100th day after the departure from Dragon-Pond Pass, the “3,000 Majesties” of the emperor arrived at the South Gate of Yong’an. People saw that the city wall was filled with colorful flags and outside the wall was a sea of people.

夏国的国王蔻珠先过来迎接炎帝，随后她领着炎帝见到了父亲元始天尊。这父子俩一见面，都哭了。炎帝一边哭还一边四处看，找他妈。元始天尊看出来了，说：“你妈不喜欢热闹，在后院没出来！”

Emperor Kou’zhu of the Xia Kingdom came to greet Yan Creator first, and then she led Yan Creator to meet his father, Primitive Sky Honor. When the father and son met, they both cried. Yan Creator looked around for his mother. Primitive Sky Honor saw it and said, "Your mother doesn't like crowds, she's in the backyard and hasn't come out!"

因为元始天尊不停地哭，官员们劝他去休息，由武大郎和炎帝来主持宴会。宴会中，炎帝无意间问国王蔻珠关于他妈妈。蔻珠没回答，离开了。随后皇后大巢氏也带着女儿们离开了。炎帝问武大郎， “怎么我一问我妈，人就都走了，离开了？” 武大郎听后，没回答，也离开了。

Because Primitive Sky Honor kept crying, officials advised him to take a rest, to have Martial Big Wolf and Yan Creator to host the banquet. During the banquet, Yan Creator randomly asked Emperor Kou’zhu about his mother. Kou’zhu did not answer and left. Then Empress Big Nest also left with her daughters. Yan Creator asked Martial Big Wolf, “Why did everyone leave when I asked about my mother?” Martial Big Wolf did not answer and left.

炎帝只好自己去招待客人，给华国的官员和夏国来的客人敬酒，但他没心思喝酒了。天还没黑，他就去到了他的住处，想清静一下。他问皇宫里的佣人，“太后住在哪里？” 佣人们没人回答，随后也离开了。

随后几天，炎帝就不向别人询问他妈妈了。白天他招待客人，晚上他自己探索皇宫，找妈妈。

Yan Creator had to entertain the guests by himself, toasting the officials of Hua and the guests from Xia, but he was not in the mood to drink. Before it got dark, he went to his residence to have some quiet time. He asked the servants in the palace where his mother, the Queen Mother, lived. No one answered, and then they left.

In the following days, Yan Creator stopped asking anyone about his mother. He entertained guests during the day and explored the palace by himself at night to look for his mother.

2. 钱紧 Money is Tight

这天，炎帝来查看金库，发现钱很少，检察账本，发现国家储备金是零，流动资金也几乎是零。他指着旁边一架子银元宝问：“那钱是怎么回事？”

保管金库的官员回答：“那钱是还给妈祖的。我们华国欠妈祖钱几十年了。元始天尊终于在退休前还清了。我们已经告诉靖王几次了。他没来查看过。”

On this day, Yan Creator came to check the vault and found that there was very little money; inspecting the books, he found that the national reserve was zero, and the liquidity was also almost zero. He pointed to a shelf of silver dollars next to him and asked, “What's that money about?”

The official who kept the vault replied, "That money is returned to Mazu. We, the Kingdom of Hua, have owed her money for decades. Primitive Sky Honor finally paid it off before he retired. We've told Jing King several times. He hasn't come to check it out."

炎帝回答：“那钱不能动！我已经是国王了，不能再继承妈祖的财产了。你们帮我找几家银行来谈谈。”

炎帝赶紧来查看粮草储备，发现首都永安只有三个月的粮草。他看见一个运送粮草的马车夫在唱歌，就过去询问。那个马车夫以为炎帝是新来的官员，回答：“永安就只有三个月的粮草储备，已经很多年了。别担心！我们运送粮草的机制很成熟，不出问题。”

Yan Creator replied: "The money cannot be touched! I am already the emperor and cannot inherit Mazu's property. Please help me find a few banks to talk to."

Yan Creator hurried to check the grain reserves and found that the capital Yong'an only had three months of grain. He saw a coachman singing while transporting grain, so he went over to ask. The coachman thought Yan Creator was a new official and replied: "Yong'an only has three months of grain reserves, and it has been many years. Don't worry! Our mechanism for transporting grain is very mature and there will be no problems."

炎帝来向她丈母娘蔻珠借钱。国王蔻珠瞪着眼睛看了他一会儿，回答说：“我没钱借给你。我们夏国在你们华国银行的账户上有三万两银子（相当于100公斤黄金），都送给你吧！你还向我借钱！后天我就回国了，以后不来了！”

炎帝立刻来找皇后大巢氏，说：“我刚才向你妈借钱，你妈生气了！”

Yan Creator came to borrow money from his mother-in-law, Kou’zhu. Emperor Kou’zhu stared at him for a while and replied, "I don't have money to lend you. We have 30,000 taels of silver (equivalent to 100 kilograms of gold) in the account of your Hua Country Bank. I will give it all to you! You are still borrowing money from me! I will return to my country the day after tomorrow and will not come again!"

大巢氏回答：“我妈对你比亲儿子都亲！我看见了，她没生气。她那么大岁数了，以后不方便来永安了。我和夏娃也跟她回杭州，然后就去瑶池为夏娃相亲（即阪泉之战，参见3.0节）。”

Yan Creator immediately went to Emperess Big Nest and said, "I just wanted to borrow money from your mother, and she got angry!"

Big Nest replied, "My mother loves you more than her own son! I saw that she is not angry. She is so old, it will not be convenient for her to come to Yong'an in the future. Eve and I will go back to Hangzhou with her and then go to Yaochi to arrange a blind date for her (i.e. Battle of Ban Fountain, see Section 3.0)."

炎帝回答：“那刚才你妈给我的那三万两银子你拿去吧，给你妈买些礼物！”

大巢氏生气地回答：“就三万两银子，买礼物都不够，我怎么去湖北？”

Yan Creator replied, "Then take the 30,000 taels of silver your mother gave me just now and buy some gifts for your mother!"

Big Nest replied angrily, “Just 30,000 taels of silver, it's not enough to buy gifts, how am I going to get to Hubei?”

炎帝无可奈何地说：“整个华国的金库里就只有你妈刚才给的那三万两银子！你说我怎么去湖北！？我得找银行贷款来筹集去湖北的路费！”

Yan Creator said hopelessly, "The only thing in the entire treasury of Hua Country is the 30,000 taels of silver that your mom just gave! How do you think I'm going to get to Hubei! I'll have to find a bank loan to raise money for the journey to Hubei!"

3. 太后墓园 Extreme Empress's Mausoleum

这个午夜，炎帝（又名张三郎，青帝，少昊，玉皇大帝，如图2.9.2-39）已经探索了整个皇宫，没找到妈妈的住处。他对一个荒废了的院子迷惑不解，决定再去看看。刚进入这所草木丛生的宫殿的后花园，他就听见草丛里有人说话。炎帝警觉地躲在了树丛里，他看见了一个人的背影，但听不清他们俩在说什么。忽然，那个人离开了，向他的父亲元始天尊的住处去了。炎帝到他们俩谈话的近处看，没发现另外一个人，就向离去的那个人追了过去。炎帝远远地看见那个人进了元始天尊的宫殿，就跟了进去。

At midnight, Yan Creator (aka. Third Wolf Zhang, Zhang the Butcher, Turquoise Creator, Shaohao, as shown in Figure 2.9.2-39) had explored the entire palace and could not find his mother's residence. He was puzzled by an abandoned courtyard and decided to take another look. As soon as he entered the overgrown back garden of the palace, he heard someone talking in the bushes. Yan Creator hid in the bushes alertly. He saw the back of a person but could not hear what they were talking about. Suddenly, the person left and went to the residence of his father Primitive Sky Honor. Yan Creator looked closer to where the two of them were talking, but did not see the other person, so he chased after the person who left. Yan Creator saw the person enter Primitive Sky Honor's palace from a distance and followed him in.

佣人说：“您这么晚来，肯定有急事。我去禀告元始天尊。他刚刚溜达回来，肯定还没睡着！”

炎帝阻止了佣人，回答：“不必了！我只是看见一个人进了我爸爸的寝宫，好奇！就过来看看，我这就回去睡觉了！”

The servant said, "You came so late, there must be something urgent. I will report to Primitive Sky Honor immediately. He has just come back from a stroll, must not be asleep yet!"

Yan Creator stopped the servant and replied, "No need! I just saw someone entering my father's bedroom and was curious! So, I came to take a look, I'm going back to sleep now!"

第二天早晨在国会上，炎帝提出了国家财政困难，精兵简政等议题，受到了与会官员的赞同。他很高兴，但惦记着后宫那座荒废的庭院，就在中午的休息时间又来看。刚一进入这座宫殿的后花园，他又看见元始天尊在那里和人唠嗑呢！他悄悄地从树丛中靠近了元始天尊，听见他在对一处草丛说话：“孩子回来了！他昨晚又来看你了！已经来看你两次了。三郎现在知道回避危险，保护自己了，可聪明了！玉珠！你安心地睡吧！他也很孝顺，给我洗脚。。。”

The next morning at the National Assembly, Yan Creator raised issues such as the country's financial difficulties and streamlining the military and government, which were approved by the officials present. He was very happy, but thinking about the deserted courtyard in the backyard, he came to see it again during the lunch break. As soon as he entered the back garden of the palace, he saw Primitive Sky Honor chatting with someone there! He quietly approached Primitive Sky Honor from the bushes and heard him talking to a patch of grass: "The child is back! He came to see you again last night! He has come to see you twice. Third Wolf now knows how to avoid danger and protect himself. He is so smart! Yu’zhu! You can sleep peacefully! He is also very filial and washed my feet..."

元始天尊离开后，炎帝过去查看，扒开了草丛，看见了一块无字墓碑（注3）。从墓碑的顶端花纹来判断，这是一座皇室成员的墓碑。他又四处查看，判定石碑的后面是一座坟墓。炎帝回忆起了妈祖把玉珠交给他时说过的话（参见2.2.10-8节），认为这就是自己的母亲（玉珠，法号九天玄女）的坟，瘫倒在了地上。

After Primitive Sky Honor left, Yan Creator went over to check it out, peeled back the grass, and saw a wordless tombstone (Figure 35). Judging from the pattern on the top of the tombstone, it is a tombstone of a member of royal family. He looked around again and decided that behind the stele is a tomb. Recalling what Mazu had said when she gave him Yu’zhu (i.e., Jade Pearl, see section 2.2.10-8), Yan Creator decided that this is the grave of his own mother (Yu’zhu, Juristic fame of Ninth Sky Mystic Woman), and collapsed to the ground.

注3，图2.7.1-38是九天玄女（如图35和36）的无字墓碑。驮着无字墓碑的乌龟代表玉皇大帝，表示他不愿意离开母亲的坟，所以把墓碑背在了背上。王八驮石碑也表示《中华法典》中所有玉皇大帝的著作都是他给母亲写的《墓志铭》。

Note 3: Figure 2.7.1-38 depicts the wordless tombstone of Ninth Sky Mystic Woman (as shown in Figures 35 and 36). The turtle bearing this tombstone represents Turquoise Great Creator, signifying his unwillingness to depart from his mother's grave—hence he carries the wordless tombstone upon his back. The tortoise bearing the stele also indicates that all the works attributed to Turquoise Great Creator in the Chinese Codex are the epitaph he composed for his mother.
