奧林運動主題線索的第10劫是鹿劫。鹿象徵着傲慢,代表這個階段的阿茲特蘭很傲慢。傲慢在六位根本煩惱(貪,嗔,痴,慢,疑,惡見)中位列第四。

The 10th Catastrophe in the Ollin Movement theme line. The deer symbolizes arrogance, representing Aztlan's arrogance at this stage. Arrogance ranks fourth among the six fundamental annoyances (greed, irritation, ignorance, arrogance, suspicion, ferocious view).

10.1 翠玉女哭了 Chalchiuhtlicue Cried

這天,翠玉女忽然生氣地哭了(如圖10-2),對寇特鶹鵂抱怨:“媽媽,那個綽號豬八戒的龍圖閣大學士是個愣子!我看他的人事簡介說,他常和人打架。我問他那些打架是怎麼回事,他回答,他從來沒和人打過架。他的行為舉止像個小孩兒似的,一說話還羞得臉通紅,什麼都不知道。”

That day, Chalchiuhtlicue suddenly got angry (as shown in Figure 10-2), cried and complained to Coatlicue: "Mom, that Nicknamed Peccary Eight Precepts (i.e., Aztlan), Big Bachelor of the Dragon Plan House, is a dumb. I read in his personnel profile that he often fights with others. I asked him what those fights were about, but he replied that he had never fought with anyone. He behaves like a child, and his face turns red with shame when he speaks. He knows nothing."

寇特鶹鵂聽後,立刻生氣了:“我們的龍圖閣混進來一個傻子,那這事全京城的人早就知道了!他自己打架了都不知道!還像個小孩似的,一說話就臉紅!這人是傻啊!居然還有人把他介紹給我們家閨女!我們家的閨女什麼時候得罪他們龍圖閣的人啦!?” 

青松石王聽後說: “我派人去問問,讓他們先調查一下,然後來匯報!”

After hearing this, queen Coatlicue became angry immediately: "A fool has sneaked into our Dragon Plan House. Everyone in the capital has known about this a long time ago! He didn't even know that he had a fight! He behaves like a child, blushes when he speaks! This guy is a fool! Someone introduced him to our daughter! When did our daughter offend anyone from Dragon Plan House? "

After hearing this, king Turquoise said: "I will send someone to ask, let them investigate first, and then report back!"

10.2 對阿茲特蘭的調查 Investigation into Aztlan

青松石王的調查使者問龍圖閣的組織人員:“你們怎麼想到給公主翠玉女介紹男朋友?”

龍圖閣的組織人員回答,是王后寇特鶹鵂讓我們做的。她說:“國王操勞翠玉女公主的婚事,都累病了。為公主找丈夫是在選擇拉動國家車的駙馬。你們這裡的人才最多,應該主動為國王分憂解難。”

King Xiuhtecuhtli's investigative envoy asked the Dragon Plan House organizers, "How did you come up with the idea of finding a boyfriend for Princess Chalchiuhtlicue?"

An organizer replied that it was Queen Coatlicue who asked us to do so. She said, "King has been so exhausted from planning Princess Chalchiuhtlicue's marriage that he's become sick. Finding a husband for the Princess is like choosing a side pulling horse to the state chariot. You have the most talented people here, so you should take the initiative to help Xiuhtecuhtli solve his problems."

一位調查使者問:“你們是怎樣發現阿茲特蘭適合做公主的丈夫的?”

一位組織人員回答:“我們舉辦了一個聚會,我們龍圖閣管轄的單身大學士們都來了。我們就公布了要選一位去和公主約會。那些大學士都認為他們自己適合。我們向九叔匯報了。九叔問,‘那個豬八戒說什麼了?’ 我回答,‘他一直坐在東邊的床上吃,什麼也沒說。’ 九叔說,‘他就行!’ 我們研究了一下,就選派他去和公主約會了。”

An investigative envoy asked, "How did you discover that Aztlan was suitable as the princess's husband?"

An organizer replied, "We held a party, and all the bachelor scholars under our Dragon Plan House attended. We announced that we would select one to date the princess. Each scholar thought they were suitable. We reported this to Ninth Uncle. He asked, 'What did that ‘Peccary Eight Precepts’ say?' I replied, 'He's been sitting on the east bed eating and hasn't said anything.' Ninth Uncle said, 'He's all right!' We discussed the situation and selected him to date the princess."

一位調查使者問九叔:“您為什麼覺得他行?”

九叔回答:“兩年前,在他們剛來龍圖閣的時候,我認為阿茲特蘭懂得鬼神,建議他學習兵法。那樣他有可能成為一位胸中自有八萬四千陰兵(上帝的軍隊)的大將軍,禦敵於千里之外。他回答,考慮過成為一位將軍;但他認為他的肢體行動笨拙,反應遲鈍,在他成為一位大將軍之前,在戰場上是一隻暈羊,就死了。”

An investigative envoy asked Ninth Uncle, "Why do you think he's suitable?"

Ninth Uncle replied, "Two years ago, when they first arrived at Dragon Plan House, I believed Aztlan understood ghosts and gods, and suggested he study the art of war. He could become a great general, commanding 84,000 Node Armies (the army of God) within his heart, defeating enemies thousands of miles away. He replied that he had considered becoming a general; but he thought his limbs were clumsy and his reactions were slow; he would be a fainting sheep on the battlefield and die before he could become a great general."

一位調查使者笑着叨咕:“暈羊!難怪公主被他氣哭了!什麼男人啊!還不能碰!公主推一把,阿茲特蘭就得被摔成骨折。公主是奧林冠軍,職業武者!”

An investigator chuckled to himself, “Fainting Sheep! No wonder the princess cried over him! What kind of man is he? Can't even be touched! If the princess gave him a shove, Aztlan would be broken to pieces. She's an Ollin champion, a professional fighter!”

一位調查者繼續問九叔:“所以你就推薦他去達摩院考研究生?”

九叔回答:“我沒推薦他成為達摩院的研究生。我告訴他達摩院裡有很多古書;他就自己去了。後來皮主(Xipe Totec,紅袍沙門)跟我說,‘阿茲特蘭這個年輕人的慧根很好。畫生命之樹的樹幹是我們沙門教數百年來的老研究課題。沒人知道是否生命樹真的可以被畫出來。這個研究項目很大,即便是他能成功,也需要十年或二十年。不過如果你們需要,一兩年之後,我們可以先授予他個碩士學位。”

An investigator continued to ask Ninth Uncle, "So you recommended him to the Law Institute for graduate studies?"

Ninth Uncle replied, "I didn't recommend him for graduate studies there. I told him the Law Institute had many ancient books; he went on his own. Later, Xipe Totec (Red Robe Shaman) told me, 'This young man, Aztlan, has a great gnostic root. Drawing the trunk of Life Tree has been a centuries-old research topic in our Shamanic tradition. No one knows if it can be drawn. This research project is enormous, and even if he succeeds, it will take ten or twenty years. But if you need it, we can grant him a master's degree in a year or two.'"

一位調查人員問: “公主說,她看見阿茲特蘭的人事檔案里寫着,他常和人打架。但問他為什麼打架?他回答,‘他從來沒和人打過架’,你們怎麼看?”

一個組織人員說:“我知道,阿茲特蘭認為,‘那些常被別人逗罵的人,實際是招人喜歡的人’。不知怎麼的,很多人喜歡去逗他玩,阿茲特蘭的反應像是打架似的。結果很多人去用圈套去套他,他成為了我們這裡最受歡迎的人之一。”

An investigator asked, "The princess said she saw in Aztlán's personnel file that he often got into fights. But when asked why, he replied, 'He's never fought.' What do you think?"

An organizer said, "I understand that Aztlan believes that 'people who are often teased and scolded are actually likable.' Somehow, many people like to tease him, and his reactions are like fighting. As a result, many people try to trap him, and he's become one of the most popular people here."

一位調查人員問: “公主說他是個愣仔,你們怎麼看?”

九叔回答:“可能是他幼時受過創傷,行動笨拙,有些智障,偶爾表現出傻像,理解事物和學習都很慢,多重性格。”

一位調查人員叨咕:“公主說他是個愣子,是正確的!”

九叔回答:“你可以那麼說,也可以說他就是那個類型的人。多重性格讓他自然地從多方面考慮問題,成年後他可能在某些方面的智力超過一般人。另外他內心世界豐富,不單調,有些貴族富人找女婿,喜歡這個類型的人,生活多姿多彩。”

An investigator asked, "The princess said he's a dumb. What do you think?"

Ninth Uncle replied, "Perhaps he suffered trauma in his childhood, making him clumsy and somewhat mentally retarded. He occasionally shows a foolish appearance, is slow to understand affairs and learn, and has multiple Personalities."

An investigator muttered, "The princess is right to say he's dumb!"

Ninth Uncle replied, "You could say that, or you could say he's just that type of person. His multiple personalities naturally allow him to consider affairs from multiple perspectives. As an adult, he may surpass the average in intelligence in certain areas. Furthermore, his inner world is rich and diverse. Some wealthy nobles seek sons-in-law who are this type, who have a vibrant and colorful life."

一位調查人員問: “公主說他害羞,一說話就臉紅! 我倒是覺得他是農村的孩子,樸實!公主說他什麼都不知道,你們怎麼看?”

九叔回答:“羞以尊崇聖賢為性。他們倆的年齡相近,公主一言一行,悉皆具足五百威儀十萬八千魅力,阿茲特蘭應該感到羞愧。公主那種人成熟得早,那家庭環境,父母的薰染,見多識廣,深諳人情世故。阿茲特蘭這種人成熟得晚,是個農民家的孩子。倆人的成長環境是天差地別呀!也就造成現在倆人的截然不同。公主生氣了,說他啥也不懂,我認為可以接受。”

那幾個調查官研究了一會兒,說:“調查的結論是公主說的都是正確的;但是這個阿茲特蘭也確實是個人才!”

An investigator asked, “The princess says he's shy and blushes when he talks! I rather think that's a country boy, plain! The princess said he knows nothing. What do you think?"

Ninth Uncle replied, “Shyness is the nature of honoring sages. The two of them are close in age, and the Princess, in every walk, standing, sitting and lying, all possesses 500 majesties and 108,000 charms. Aztlan should be ashamed. People like the princess mature early. With her family environment and the influence of her parents, she is well-educated and knows broadly. People like Aztlan mature late. He is a child of a peasant family. The growth environments of the two are very different! This is why they are so different now. The princess is angry and says he knows nothing. I think it is acceptable."

The investigative officers studied the matter for a while and said, "The conclusion of the investigation is that what the princess said is correct; but this Aztlan is indeed a talented person!"

這幾位調查人員向青松石王,寇特鶹鵂,和翠玉女匯報了在龍圖閣的談話。

青松石王對翠玉女說:“你看人有問題,和達摩院,龍圖閣的人相反!” 翠玉女變得無話可說。他又對寇特鶹鵂說:“我看,再安排他們倆見見,讓翠玉女再好好看看阿茲特蘭。”

The investigators reported their conversation at Dragon Plan House to king Xiuhtecuhtli, queen Coatlicue and princess Chalchiuhtlicue. 

Xiuhtecuhtli said to Chalchiuhtlicue, “You have a problem judging people—quite the opposite of those at the Law Institute and the Dragon Plan House!” Chalchiuhtlicue was left speechless. He then said to Coatlicue, "I think we should arrange another meeting between them. Let Chalchiuhtlicue take another good look at Aztlan."

10.3 阿茲特蘭是我兒子 Aztlan is my Son

一段時間後,阿茲特蘭仍然感覺和翠玉女的婚姻沒有成功的希望,卻耽誤了自己的婚事。而且他是公主的男朋友,沒其它的年輕女孩兒願意接近他。阿茲特蘭想着趁着這時大學畢業的機會,找個偏遠地方的教書工作;離開了首都,他就有機會娶妻生子了。

After some time, Aztecan still felt his marriage to Chalchiuhtlicue held no hope of success, yet it had delayed his own marriage prospects. Moreover, as the princess' boyfriend, no other young women were willing to approach him. Aztlan thought that upon graduating from university, he would seek a teaching position in a remote area; leaving the capital would give him the chance to marry and start a family.

這天阿茲特蘭又聽到了關於自己和翠玉女的謠言。一天,翠玉女叨咕,“阿茲特蘭只不過是個豬一樣的農民!人們都說他是豬八戒,那不是在說他什麼都不太懂,卻虛張聲勢地表現他自己很行!” 青松石王大叫:“豬八戒這個外號是我給起的(參見7-4節);他是我兒子!” 阿茲特蘭感覺威脅增大了,就又去找領導,要求調去外地工作。

That day, Aztlan heard more rumors about himself and Chalchiuhtlicue. One day, Chalchiuhtlicue muttered, “Aztlan is nothing but a peccary-like farmer! People call him ‘Peccary Eight Precepts’—isn't that saying he knows nothing yet puts on airs like he's all that?” Xiuhtecuhtli roared, “That ‘Peccary Eight Precepts’ nickname was my doing (see Section 17-4); he's my son!” Feeling the threat intensified, Aztlan sought out his superiors once more, demanding a transfer to work elsewhere.

又半年過去了,阿茲特蘭的婚姻困境沒有改變。這天他又去向主管請求去外地教書。主管回答,“知道了”,繼續和同僚嘮嗑。他出來的時候聽見主管對同僚叨咕: “你走了!若是國王又讓我們找他討寶貝女兒歡心的東西,我們還上哪兒去找你這樣兒的寶貝!” 

Another half-year passed, yet Aztlan's marital predicament remained unchanged. That day, he once again approached his supervisor to request a teaching assignment elsewhere. The supervisor replied, “Got it,” and continued chatting with his colleague. As he stepped out, he overheard the supervisor muttering to his colleague: “You're gone! If the king asks us again to find something to please his precious daughter, where on earth would we find another treasure like you!”

阿茲特蘭聽後,越想越生氣,就去古董儲藏室砸碎了青松石王心愛的綠玉盞。他就被抓進了牢房。

藏寶閣,龍圖閣,和達摩院的同事師長們幾次向國王求情。最後國王給了她女兒翠玉女一個面子,赦免了阿茲特蘭的死刑,發配他去流沙河,作為一名沙僧去教書。

After hearing this, Aztlan grew increasingly furious. He stormed into the antique storeroom and smashed Xiuhtecuhtli's beloved green jade lamp. He was then thrown into a dungeon.

The colleagues and mentors from the Museum, Dragon Plan House, and Law Institute repeatedly pleaded with the king on his behalf. Ultimately, the king granted his daughter Chalchiuhtlicue a favor, commuting Aztlan's death sentence to exile at Following-Sands River. There, he was to serve as a shamanic monk teaching at the local school.

10.4 沙僧 Shamanic Monk

沙僧(即阿茲特蘭,金童,特拉洛克)在流沙河受到了熱情的接待。不久,他發現這個地方雖偏僻荒涼,但社會治安很好,百姓安居樂業,各行各業都井井有條。他還發現,年輕的女人都迴避自己;對此迷惑不解。

Shamanic Monk (i.e., Aztlan, Gold Boy, Tlaloc) was warmly received in Following-Sands River. Soon, he found that although the place was remote and desolate, the social security was good, the people lived in peace and happiness, and all trades were well organized. He also found that young women shunned him; confused by this.

日子久了,沙僧和周圍的人混熟了,向人詢問。一位朋友告訴他:“你是七公主的心上人;人家還不得避嫌!”

沙僧說:“我是個出家人,和她一年多沒來往了,我和她沒關係!”

As the days went by, Shamanic Monk got acquainted with the people around him and asked them about it. A friend told him, “You are the beloved of the seventh princess Chalchiuhtlicue; people still have to avoid suspicion!”

Shamanic Monk said, "I am a monk, and I haven't had contact with her for more than a year. I have nothing to do with her!"

那位朋友回答:“我都聽說了,不懂你們靈界的事。對於我們塵世的人來說,你們就是處於婚戀之中的男女朋友。人們說,國王放逐你到這兒,就是歷練歷練,沒多久就會發調令,調你回去!”

沙僧驚奇地發現了,在納瓦特爾國的國土上,對青松石王來說都不遠;自己是出了龍潭,又入虎穴,幾年的計劃和努力都白費了。

The friend replied, “I have heard all about it and do not understand your spiritual world. For us earthly people, you are a man and a woman during a marriage. People say that the king banished you here as a training exercise, and that it won't be long before he sends out a transfer order and sends you back!”

Shamanic Monk discovered to his amazement that in the land of Nahuatl no place is too far for the king; that he had gone out of the Dragon's Pit but into the Tiger's Den, several years of planning and endeavor had been for naught.

10.5 專打不長眼的 Specially Beat Those Who Don't Have Eyes

一天,沙僧去一個村子檢查教育,路上看見一群黑衣蒙面人正在打人,過去詢問。那幫黑衣人不情願地離開了。有人悄悄地對他說:“那群人不偷不搶,到處揚言:不打勤的,不打懶的,專打不長眼的。”

沙僧問:“什麼人沒眼?”

One day, Shamanic Monk went to a village to inspect education. On the way, he saw a group of masked men in black beating people. He went over to ask. Those black-clad men left reluctantly. Someone whispered to him: "Those people don't steal or rob. They say everywhere: "They don't beat the diligent, they don't beat the lazy, they only beat those who don't have eyes."

Shamanic Monk asked: "What kind of people don't have eyes?"

一位過路人說:“一看,你就是外鄉人!聽說是幾個月前,七公主翠玉女的男朋友被下放到了我們這兒歷練來了。縣長對治安官(警察,官吏)們說,人家是大學士,正人君子,若在咱這兒驚着嚇着了,或是被哪個不三不四的女人給教壞了。我的日子就不好過了,你們也別想好,我把你們全都送到邊關前線,建功立業去。就這麼的,治安官們把我們這一帶的妓院全關閉了,還出來了這麼一幫黑衣人。”

A passerby said: "I can see that you are a foreigner! I heard that a few months ago, the boyfriend of the seventh princess Chalchiuhtlicue was sent down to our place for training. The county prefect said to the sheriffs (police, officials) that he is a big bachelor and a gentleman. If he is frightened here, or if he is taught badly by some questionable woman, my life will be difficult. And you don't have to think about it. I will send all of you to the war frontier to make achievements. Just like that, the sheriffs closed all the brothels in our area, and such a group of black-clad men came out."

10.6 媒人的勸說 Matchmaker's Persuasion

一天,一位從首都來的朋友對沙僧說:“要不你以朋友的身份和翠玉女通信,向她認個錯。日子久了,說不準,她能幫你說好話,讓你還俗。若不然,你的案子是青松石王欽定的,難改啊!”

沙僧氣氛地回答:“向她認錯!我什麼時候得罪她了!”

One day, a friend visiting from the capital said to Shamanic Monk, “Why don't you write to Chalchiuhtlicue as a friend and apologize to her? Over time, who knows—she might put in a good word for you to return to mortal life. Otherwise, your case was personally approved by king Xiuhtecuhtli himself. It's unlikely to be changed!”

Shamanic Monk retorted angrily, “Apologize to her? When did I ever offend her?!”

朋友回答:“京城人都知道你和她的事,你砸碎了綠玉燈,那不就讓人家損了面子嘛!人家還幫你說好話,若不然,你早到天堂教書去了,哪還能在這裡過清閒日子!”

沙僧問:“誰讓你這麼說的?”

The friend replied, “Everyone in the capital knows about you and her. You smashed that jade lamp—that's a direct hit to her reputation! She even put in a good word for you. Otherwise, you'd have been teaching in heaven long ago, not living this easy life here!”

Shamanic Monk asked, “Who gave you permission to say that?”

朋友回答:“前些日子,天龍國的一位王子,綽號獨角大王(如圖10-3),來向翠玉女公主求婚。她看了後說,還不如阿茲特蘭呢!青松石王和寇特鶹鵂立刻發怒了, ‘他是個博士,還不如一個二愣子!’ 後來,那倆人琢磨琢磨,樂了。獨角大王是位博士,確實是才貌雙全。她說不如你,那不是她對你有些好感嗎!這可把國王和王后樂壞了。翠玉女處過一百多個男朋友了,就只對你有這麼一點兒好印象。”

The friend replied: "Not long ago, a prince from the Celestial Dragon Kingdom, nicknamed Unicorn King (as shown in Figure 10-3), came to propose to Princess Chalchiuhtlicue. After seeing him, she remarked, ‘He's not as good as Aztlan!’ King Xiuhtecuhtli and Queen Coatlicue immediately flew into a rage, 'He's a doctorate holder, yet he's no match for a dumb!' Later, the two pondered this and burst into laughter. The Unicorn King was indeed a doctor, possessing both talent and good looks. When she said he wasn't as good as you, didn't that mean she had some affection for you? This delighted the King and Queen immensely. Princess Coatlicue had been with over a hundred boyfriends, yet she only held this slight fondness for you."

沙僧回答:“她的期望很高!我的能力不能滿足她的願望!我們倆不般配。我若和她通信,那我們倆的關係就更說不清楚了,即便還了俗也找不到妻子!”

倆人討論了很長時間,最後的結論:就這樣拖着吧,過幾年,等翠玉女結婚之後再想辦法。

Shamanic Monk replied: "She has high expectations! I can't meet her wishes! We are not a good match. If I communicate with her, our relationship will be even more unclear, I won't be able to find a wife even if I return to mundane life!" 

The two discussed for a long time and finally concluded: just drag it out like this and think of a solution after a few years when Chalchiuhtlicue gets married.
