青松石王造人主題線索中的第11劫是兔劫,表示阿茲特蘭(特拉洛克)被青松石王嚇跑了。驚嚇與精神病正相關,這在精神病學裡被譽為鐵律。這個事件更加確定阿茲特蘭走在了去往地獄(即精神病)的路上。

The 11th catastrophe in Xiuhtecuhtli's creation of man theme line is the Rabbit Catastrophe, which indicates that Aztlan (Tlaloc) was frightened away by Xiuhtecuhtli. Fright and mental illness are positively correlated, a well-established “Iron Law” in psychiatry. This event further confirms that Aztlan is on his way to hell (i.e., mental illness).

11.1 流沙河地區的熱門行業 Popular Trade in Following-Sands River Area

一天晚上,一位已經和沙僧成為熟人了的治安官來請他喝酒。沙僧回答說:“出家人,不喝酒,不給你們添麻煩!”

治安官說:“縣長交代過,關起門來隨便喝,別喝醉了到大街上耍酒瘋就行!”

酒宴間,沙僧問:“你們這地方有出治安官的傳統?好像這地方的百姓很尊重治安官!”

One night, a sheriff who had become acquainted with Shamanic Monk came to invite him to drink alcohol. Shamanic Monk replied: "Out of household life people, I don't drink. I won't cause you any trouble!"

The sheriff said: "The county prefect has instructed that you can drink freely behind closed doors, but don't get drunk and act crazy on the street!"

During the banquet, Shamanic Monk inquired, “Is there a tradition of producing sheriffs in this region? It seems the locals hold the sheriff in high regard!”

治安官說:“我們這兒地廣人稀,窮,以前治安官沒什麼前途,也不被人尊敬。您來了,縣長就開始重視治安。半年前,省長來視察,說我們的治安工作做的好,治安官們能辦事,縣尉就升職到郡里去了。近兩個月,咱流沙河鄉有30多位治安官升職了,所以治安官突然變成了熱門行業,很多人想當治安官。托您的福!明天我就是咱鄉的治安官班頭了!”

The sheriff said: "We have a vast land and sparse population, and we are poor. In the past, sheriffs had no future and were not respected. After you came, the county prefect began to pay attention to public security. Half a year ago, the governor came to inspect and said that our public security work was good, and the sheriffs were capable, so the county captain was promoted to the province. In the past two months, more than 30 sheriffs in our county have been promoted, so police have suddenly become a popular trade, and many people want to become policemen. Blessed by you! Tomorrow I will be the head of the sheriff team in our township!"

沙僧說:“恭喜你升職!怎麼你升官還和我有關係?”

治安官說:“自從您來了,這兒就變樣兒了!聽說下個月,省長還來視察,我們得趕緊準備。”

Shamanic Monk said, "Congratulations on your promotion! How does your promotion have anything to do with me?" 

The sheriff said, "This place has changed since you came! I heard that the governor will come to inspect next month, so we have to prepare quickly."

11.2 阿茲特蘭逃亡了 Aztlan Escaped

一天夜裡,一個曾經是阿茲特蘭和翠玉女介紹人的朋友跑來敲門,對沙僧(又名阿茲特蘭,特拉洛克)說:“這幾年,青松石王一直有病,總是掛念着七公主翠玉女的婚事。幾天前,他生氣了(如圖11-1),指着她的鼻子說,‘你不是我女兒,阿茲特蘭是我兒子!我算好了,就他行,別人都不行!我不能親眼看見阿茲特蘭和翠玉女結婚,我死不瞑目(如圖2)!’ 他還秘密地讓人在宗人府修建一個小院兒,要把你和她關在裡面,不結婚就不放你們出來。哎!你說當初,我怎麼就想把你介紹給她呢!事說完了,我得趕緊回縣裡,看被人發現了!”

One night, a friend who had once served as matchmaker for Aztlan and Chalchiuhtlicue came knocking on the door and said to Shamanic Monk (aka. Aztlan, Tlaloc): "For years now, king Xiuhtecuhtli has been ill, constantly worrying about the marriage of his seventh princess, Chalchiuhtlicue. A few days ago, he flew into a rage (as shown in Figure 11-1), pointing at her nose and declaring, 'You are not my daughter—Aztlan is my son! I've calculated it—only he is suitable, no one else will do it! If I don't see Aztlan and Chalchiuhtlicue married with my own eyes, I would die with eyes open (as shown in Figure 2)!' He also secretly had a small courtyard built within the Imperial Clan Garden, intending to lock you and her inside. You won't be released until you marry. Ah! Why did I ever think to introduce you to her in the first place! Now that I've told you everything, I must hurry back to the county seat before someone discovers me!"

沙僧大驚失色,心想:“我和翠玉女合不來,她瞧不起我。如果我這樣和她結婚了,就成為奴隸了。” 過了一會兒,沙僧鎮靜了下來,忽然聽見村口的狗狂叫不止,決定立刻離開。他像猴子一樣爬上了院子裡的一顆樹,消失了!

插圖4是正在逃亡國外途中的沙僧。圖中有很多燧火石,表明這一切都是青松石王計劃之中的事。

Shamanic Monk was horrified and thought, "I don't get along with Chalchiuhtlicue. She looks down on me. If I marry her like this, I would be a slave." After a while, he calmed down. Suddenly, he heard the barking of dogs at the entrance of the village and decided to leave immediately. He climbed up a tree in the yard like a monkey and disappeared!

11.3 地獄是個異熟果 Hell is a Mutant Fruit

圖2表示那個死人在用 “死不瞑目” 詛咒某個人。下這個詛咒就是一輩子不斷地對被詛咒的人做好事,而只求他一件事。那個人知道或者後來知道了下咒人的意願,有能力辦卻沒有兌現。等下咒人一死,被詛咒的人就受不了了,死不了也活不長。

Figure 2 depicts the deceased cursing someone with “death with eyes open”. This curse entails perpetually performing good deeds for the cursed individual throughout one's lifetime, while demanding only one thing in return. The cursed person either knows or later learns of the caster's wish, possesses the ability to fulfill it, yet fails to do so. Once the caster dies, the cursed individual can no longer endure the burden and either perishes or lives shortly.

奧林運動的主題線索就是青松石王用 “死不瞑目”詛咒阿茲特蘭的經過。下這個詛咒有三個關鍵環節。一,在阿茲特蘭一歲時,青松石王為他做 “觸目”,留下了個精神病潛伏症。二,阿茲特蘭在和翠玉女相親時受刺激了,表現出了精神病的症狀。隨後,每隔一段時間,青松石王就刺激一下阿茲特蘭,那是在培養精神病潛伏症。三,前文阿茲特蘭受到了驚嚇。驚嚇與精神病有密切的關係;這在現代精神病學中被喻為 “鐵律” 。顯然,阿茲特蘭將來會患精神病,因為此時的幾年前,他已經有了精神病的跡象,而且這時又受到了驚嚇。我們已經說明精神病的成因;精神病是生命之樹的一個異熟果(參見10.6.1節)。

The central narrative thread of the Ollin Movement revolves around Xiuhtecuhtli's cursing Aztlan with “death with eyes open”. This curse unfolded through three pivotal stages. First, when Aztlan was one year old, Xiuhtecuhtli performed the “Touch Eye” ritual on him, implanting latent psychotic tendencies. Second, Aztlan exhibited psychotic symptoms after being traumatized during his arranged meeting with Chalchiuhtlicue. Subsequently, Xiuhtecuhtli periodically stimulated Aztlan to cultivate this latent psychosis. Third, Aztlan suffered a recent fright. Shock is intrinsically linked to psychosis—a principle modern psychiatry terms an “iron law.” Clearly, Aztlan will develop mental illness in the future, as he already showed signs of it years prior and was further traumatized at this juncture. We have previously explained the origins of mental illness: it is a mutant fruit of Life Tree (see Section 10.6.1).

古人稱精神病為地獄,所以說地獄是生命之樹上的一個異熟果。

圖6表示正在去往地獄途中的阿茲特蘭。他背上的籃子裡的樹表明了他此時的狀況。如同樹上的果實成熟了會落入阿茲特蘭的籃子,精神病異熟果成熟了,阿茲特蘭就到達地獄了。

The ancients called mental illness hell; thus, hell is a mutant fruit on Life Tree.

Figure 6 depicts Aztlan on his way to hell. The tree in the basket on his back signifies his current state. Just as the fruits on the tree ripen and fall into Aztlan's basket, when the psychotic mutant fruit ripens Aztlan arrives in hell.

11.4 慶祝奧林的勝利 Celebrating the Victory of Ollin

The Ollin emblem in the upper left corner of Figure 5 indicates that the Ollin campaign has now reached its halfway point, with the design and production of the first 10 of the 20 catastrophes Ollin-themed clues completed.

11.5 美猴王 Beautiful Monkey King

沙僧(又名阿茲特蘭,特拉洛克)像猴子一樣穿越森林,翻山越嶺,流亡到了國外,決定以後不再為任何國王服務了,自稱為美猴王。在北方的一處深山裡,他找到了一份養馬的工作。

Shamanic Monk (also known as Aztlan, Tlaloc) traversed forests and mountains like a monkey, fleeing into exile abroad. He resolved never to serve any king again, proclaiming himself the Beautiful Monkey King. In a remote mountain range to the north, he found work tending horses.

一段時間後,美猴王聽人說(如圖7):“你是納瓦特爾國王的兒子,對你爸爸安排的婚姻不滿,逃婚,離家出走的。青松石王為此都氣得病了。” 美猴王對此沒在意,對那人說:“是什麼人把消息弄錯了;我父母都是農民。”

After some time, the Beautiful Monkey King heard someone say (as shown in Figure 7): “You are the son of King Nahuatl. Unhappy with the marriage your father arranged, you eloped and ran away from home. King Xiuhtecuhtli was so enraged by this that he fell ill.” Beautiful Monkey King paid no heed to this, replying to the man, “Whoever spread this news is mistaken; my parents are both farmers.”

11.6 青松石王繼續做法 Xiuhtecuhtli Continues His Lawmaking

一天,美猴王的一位朋友勸他說(如圖7):“我聽說你和你爸爸打架,你還砸了你爸爸最心愛的綠玉燈,離家出走來到這裡。你爸爸很擔心你,都生病了,但知道你很倔強,就在你喜歡的地方,為你找了這份工作。你是不是得給你爸爸寫封信,認個錯!” 

One day, a friend of the Beautiful Monkey King advised him (as shown in Figure 7): “I heard you fought with your father, smashed his most cherished green jade lamp, and ran away from home to come here. Your father is so worried about you that he's fallen ill. But knowing how stubborn you are, he found this job for you right where you like to be. Shouldn't you write your father a letter and admit your mistake?”

事後,美猴王回憶朋友的話,意識到了這是那個老魔王(青松石王,如圖1,3)製造的謠言,感覺憂慮,心想,“人之將死,其言也善;鳥之將死,其鳴也哀!那老頭子是後悔對我的作法有些過分了” 。過了一會兒,他又想: “你好歹也是個國王,給我找個養馬的工作,也好意思說出口!”

Afterward, Beautiful Monkey King recalled his friend's words and realized this was a rumor spread by the old demon king (Xiuhtecuhtli, as shown in Figure 1, 3). Feeling uneasy, he thought to himself, “When a man is about to die, his words are kind; when a bird is about to die, its cry is mournful! That old man must regret having been too harsh with me.” After a while, he thought again: “You're a king, after all. How could you possibly offer me a job tending horses and still have the nerve to say it out loud!”

11.7 美猴王又受刺激了 Beautiful Monkey King was stimulated again

一次節慶的篝火晚會上,人們喝酒、吃肉、跳舞,話匣子都打開了。一位公司的老領導,桫欏,感慨地對美猴王說(如圖7):“真高興有你在這裡!我聽說,是你爸爸青松石王派了太陽戰士給了那幫北方佬一個教訓。那些北方的蟲舌們總惦記着吃我們的土,以後還會來!不過如果你回家了,我還是會更高興。人歲數大了會死的!你爸爸多大歲數了!60歲,70歲,還有病!等人死了,再說什麼,做什麼,都沒用了!”

At a festive bonfire gathering, people drank, feasted on meat, danced, and chatted freely. An old company leader, Sal Fasullo, said to Beautiful Monkey King with emotion (as shown in Figure 7): "I'm so glad you're here! I heard it was your father, King Xiuhtecuhtli, who sent the Sun Warriors to teach those northerners a lesson. Those northern worm tongues always desire our mud and will return! But I'd be even happier if you went home. People die as they age! How old is your father? Sixty, seventy, and he's sick! Once the man is gone, it's too late to say or do anything!"

這次,美猴王立刻就意識到了,又是老魔鬼(青松石王,如圖1,3)製造的謠言,問:“你老怎麼想起說這個?有人委託你勸我?”

This time, Beautiful Monkey King immediately realized that it was another rumor spread by the old devil (Xiuhtecuhtli, as shown in Figure 1, 3) and asked, "Why do you keep saying this? Has someone asked you to persuade me?"

桫欏立刻回答:“別誤會!青松石王的人沒聯繫過我!事情是這樣的,前些日子,我在山那邊的婚姻旅館,和老闆娘劉健君嘮嗑。她從你爸爸派來的太陽戰士那裡聽說了你的事。她說,‘我活了大半輩子了,從沒見過像這孩子這麼倔的;父子打架,生分成那樣!’ 她請我幫忙找個機會,讓她丈夫盧岩勸勸你。我說,‘別麻煩盧岩,我在我們公司是長者,有機會,我勸勸他吧!’ 盧岩是我們這個地區著名的沙門,天天忙着超度人。今天看見你了,我就想了起來,說了這件事。”

Sal Fasullo immediately replied, "Don't get me wrong! The people from Xiuhtecuhtli haven't contacted me! Here's what happened. A few days ago, I was at the Marriage Inn over the mountain, chatting with the proprietress, Eve Liu. She'd heard about you from the Sun warriors your father sent. She said, 'I've lived for most of my life, and I've never seen a child as stubborn as this one. A father and son fought, and they became so estranged!' She asked me to find a way for her husband, Adam Luyan, to talk you out. I said, 'Don't bother Adam. I'm the elderly in our company. I'll try to persuade him if I have the chance!' Adam Luyan (see chapter 1) is a famous shaman in our area, busy transcendently ferrying people. Seeing you today reminded me of this, and I told you about it."

美猴王感覺委屈,全身難受,找了個沒人的地方放聲大哭,心想:看來,是我的作法過分了。哭完後,他感覺身體舒服了,又想,“這個狡猾的大魔王(青松石王,如圖1,3),又耍什麼花招!我已經犯了叛國罪,回去了,說不定,他就把我判成奴隸送給翠玉女了”。美猴王黯然神傷,辭掉了這份工作,又流浪向了遠方。

Beautiful Monkey King felt wronged and uncomfortable all over. He found a place where no one was around and cried loudly, thinking: It seems that I have gone too far. After crying, he felt better and thought, "What tricks is this cunning big devil (Xiuhtecuhtli, as shown in Figure 1, 3) playing again! I have committed treason. If I go back, maybe he will sentence me to be a slave and give me Chalchiuhtlicue." Beautiful Monkey King was depressed, quit his job, and wandered away again.
