摘星樓紂王自焚

摘星楼纣王自焚

King Zhou burns himself to death in the Star-Plucking Tower

仿清末石印本的线描:宫墙内三层高楼燃着大火,火舌和卷曲的浓烟升起;前景里,武王骑在马上侧身避开,一只宽袖遮住双眼;白须的姜子牙披盔甲,骑着生角的坐骑,向他倾身,一手摊开、掌心向上;右侧一排小骑手撑着空白的华盖等候。

话说杨戬正赶雉鸡精,见前面黄旛隐隐,宝盖飘扬,有数对女童分于左右,当中一位娘娘,跨青鸾而来,乃是女娲娘娘驾至。怎见得,有诗为证:

Now, Yang Jian was chasing the pheasant spirit when he saw ahead of him yellow banners faintly showing and a jewelled canopy floating on the wind. Several pairs of maiden attendants stood to either side, and in the middle a goddess came riding the blue phoenix: it was the goddess Nüwa arriving in her carriage. And how did it look?
