心猿遭火败木母被魔擒

Chapter Forty-One · Journey to the West

The Mind-Ape meets defeat by fire;The Wood Mother falls captive to a demon

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: before the gate of the Fire Cloud Cave, the boy demon Red Boy stands on a small cart among five carts, spear in hand, breathing a stream of fire and smoke from mouth and nose, while Sun Wukong leaps at him with his staff raised in both hands and Zhu Bajie runs off to the left, rake over his shoulder, looking back in fright.

善惡一時忘念,榮枯都不關心。晦明隱現任浮沉。隨分饑餐渴飲。神靜湛然常寂,昏冥便有魔侵。五行蹬蹭破禪林。風動必然寒凜。

善恶一时忘念,荣枯都不关心。晦明隐现任浮沉。随分饥餐渴饮。神静湛然常寂,昏冥便有魔侵。五行蹬蹭破禅林。风动必然寒凛。

Forget all thought of good and evil for a time;let flourishing and withering leave the heart untouched.In darkness or light, hidden or revealed, let yourself rise and sink.Eat when hungry, drink when thirsty, content with your lot.The spirit, stilled and clear, rests ever in silence;when it grows dark and clouded, demons enter.The Five Elements stumble and break into the grove of meditation.When the wind stirs, a bitter chill must follow.

卻說那孫大聖引八戒別了沙僧,跳過枯松澗,徑來到那怪石崖前。果見有一座洞府,真個也景致非凡。但見:

迴鑾古道幽還靜,風月也聽玄鶴弄。白雲透出滿川光,流水過橋仙意興。猿嘯鳥啼花木奇,藤蘿石蹬芝蘭勝。蒼搖崖壑散煙霞,翠染松篁招彩鳳。遠列巔峰似插屏,山朝澗繞真仙洞。崑崙地脈發來龍,有分有緣方受用。

將近行到門前,見有一座石碣,上鐫八個大字,乃是「號山枯松澗火雲洞」。那壁廂一群小妖,在那裡掄槍舞劍的跳風頑耍。

回銮古道幽还静,风月也听玄鹤弄。白云透出满川光,流水过桥仙意兴。猿啸鸟啼花木奇,藤萝石蹬芝兰胜。苍摇崖壑散烟霞,翠染松篁招彩凤。远列巅峰似插屏,山朝涧绕真仙洞。昆仑地脉发来龙,有分有缘方受用。

将近行到门前,见有一座石碣,上镌八个大字,乃是「号山枯松涧火云洞」。那壁厢一群小妖,在那里抡枪舞剑的跳风顽耍。

Now, the Great Sage Sun took Bajie with him, left Sha Monk behind, leaped over Withered Pine Ravine and went straight to the jagged stone cliffs. There really was a cave dwelling there, with scenery truly out of the ordinary. This is what they saw:

An ancient road winds back, secluded and still;dark cranes play with the wind and moon.White clouds part to fill the valley with light;water flows under a bridge, stirring an immortal’s delight.Apes howl and birds sing among wondrous flowers and trees;vines, stone steps, fragrant herbs and orchids excel.Blue-green crags and ravines sway in veils of rosy mist;emerald pines and bamboo invite bright phoenixes.Distant peaks stand ranked like a folding screen;mountains bow and streams encircle this true immortal’s cave.A dragon vein runs here from Mount Kunlun;only those with a destined affinity may enjoy it.

As they came up to the entrance, they saw a stone tablet engraved with eight great characters: “Howl Mountain, Withered Pine Ravine, Fire Cloud Cave.” Over to one side, a band of little demons were flourishing spears and swords, leaping about in their wild play.

孫大聖厲聲高叫道:「那小的們,趁早去報與洞主知道,教他送出我唐僧師父來,免你這一洞精靈的性命;牙迸半個『不』字,我就掀翻了你的山場,屣平了你的洞府。」那些小妖,聞此言,慌忙急轉身,各歸洞裡,關了兩扇石門,到裡邊來報:「大王,禍事了。」

The Great Sage Sun shouted sternly, “You little ones! Go and tell your cave lord at once to send out my Master, the Tang Monk, and spare every spirit in this cave its life. Let so much as half a ‘no’ slip through your teeth, and I shall overturn your mountain and trample your cave flat!” At these words the little demons turned in a panic, rushed back inside and shut both stone doors. They went in to report, “Great King, disaster!”
