Chapter 5: Punished by the Buddha
第5章:被压五行山
Sun Wukong was in charge of guarding the Peach Garden, but he heard that the peaches were precious fruits that could make people live forever. So he stole and ate many peaches, and also caused chaos at the Peach Festival. The Jade Emperor was very angry when he found out and sent the god Erlang Shen Yang Jian to capture him.
孙悟空负责看管蟠桃园,但他听说蟠桃是珍贵的水果,吃了可以长生不老。于是他偷吃了许多蟠桃,还大闹了蟠桃盛会。玉帝知道后非常生气,派出二郎神杨戬去捉拿他。
Erlang Shen was highly skilled in martial arts and fought with Sun Wukong, and neither could win. The Jade Emperor ordered the Supreme Lord Lao to use his Diamond Circle to attack Sun Wukong from behind, knocking him to the ground. Sun Wukong was caught by the heavenly soldiers and tied to the Execution Platform.
二郎神武艺高强,和孙悟空打得难解难分。玉帝下令用太上老君的金刚圈偷袭孙悟空,将他打倒在地。孙悟空被天兵捉住,绑到了斩妖台上。
However, Sun Wukong had already eaten the immortal peaches, so ordinary punishments could not kill him at all. The Jade Emperor had to press him under the Five Elements Mountain to make him reflect on his mistakes. For five hundred years, he remained trapped there.
但孙悟空早已吃了长生不老的蟠桃,普通刑罚根本无法杀死他。玉帝只好把他压在五行山下,让他在那里反省自己的过错。这一压,就是五百年。
