弥勒 Maitreya
棋盘为地子为天，色按阴阳造化全。
下到玄微通变处，笑夸当日烂柯仙。
The board is earth, the pieces sky,
Colors of Yin and Yang comply.
In subtle moves, revolutions blend,
Laughing, praise the game that will never end.
弥勒在浮屠塔里，不知待了多久。
真君找上门的时候，墙上的画还没画好。
“我知真君一定会来。”弥勒笑道
真君拱手:“尊者慧眼高明，昔日在花果山，想必已料到今日。还请尊者，解我心中苦闷。”
“解铃还须系铃人，你的疑惑既是由孙悟空而起，那也该由他来答。”
“他，死了。”真君似是不愿开口说出这个字。
“路我已为你打开，那里不会有人来打扰，可以慢慢想。”弥勒让开身子，对面墙壁霎时风雪飞出，连带塔里都冷了几分。
真君依言上前，停在那虚空外，回头又道:“今日踏入这画中梅山，天庭自寻我不着，可是尊者所为，灵山难道不知?”
弥勒笑道：“我们见过吗?我认得的二郎神，比你丑多了。”
真君听罢，不再多言，信步踏入那风雪之中。
Maitreya had been in the Great Pagoda for an unknown length of time.
When the Sacred Divinity arrived, the mural was still unfinished.
"I knew you would come," Maitreya said with a smile.
The Sacred Divinity cupped his hands in salute, "Your wisdom is unparalleled, Venerable One. You must have foreseen this day back on Mount Huaguo. Therefore, I beseech you, please, relieve me of my inner turmoil."
"Since your turmoil stem from Sun Wukong, he should be the one to answer them."
"He is dead," the Sacred Divinity said, his voice faltering as if unwilling to utter the word.
"I have already opened the path for you. No one will disturb you there. Take your time to ponder," Maitreya said, stepping aside. Instantly, wind and snow swirled in from the opposite wall, casting a chill throughout the pagoda.
The Sacred Divinity stepped forward as instructed, stopping at the edge of the void. He turned back and said, "By stepping into this painted Mount Mei today, the Celestial Court will not be able to find me. Venerable One, would Mount Lingshan know of your deeds?"
Maitreya laughed, "Have we met before? The Erlang Shen I know is much uglier than you."
Hearing this, the Sacred Divinity said no more and strode into the wind and snow.
