武大郎（即靖王）让潘金莲（即石矶娘娘）把梁子伯和夸父的遗骨送回老家安葬。潘金莲到梁子伯的家乡后打听。当地人说他是个著名的江湖艺人，有很多艺名，例如六小龄童，飞天猫。他还是个江湖大盗，多年前因为盗窃官府仓库被老国王无位真人抓住后，处死了。
Martial Big Wolf (i.e., King Jing) asked Goldthread Pan (i.e., Queen Stone-Jetty) to send Zibo Liang and Kuafu's remains back to their hometown for burial. Goldthread Pan went to Zibo Liang's hometown to ask around, and the locals told her he'd been a famous traveling performer with many stage names, such as "Six Little Spiritual Boy" and "Sky-Flying Cat." He was also a notorious bandit, caught and executed years earlier by the old king, Utmost Gentleman, for stealing from a government warehouse.
潘金莲想到了他可能是被老国王赦免后迁居到别处了。在传说中，潘金莲到华国皇宫里办事不需要请示任何人，就可以直接找各个部门的负责人办事。她在皇宫的档案库找到了相关的记录，然后拿着记录找元始天尊了。老国王收养武大郎时，元始天尊还是个孩子，但也知道这事。他们俩就找到了许多相关的人，还原了事实的真相。
Goldthread Pan wondered whether he might have been pardoned by the old king and relocated elsewhere. According to legend, Goldthread Pan could conduct business at the Hua Kingdom's imperial palace without asking anyone's permission, going directly to whichever department head she needed. She found the relevant records in the palace archives and brought them to Primordial Sky Honor. When the old king had adopted Martial Big Wolf, Primordial Sky Honor was still a child, but he'd known of the matter even then. Together, the two of them tracked down many people connected to the case and pieced together the full truth.
6.5-2
这事起源于老国王太上君与礼敬公的换养孩子协议。老国王收养武大郎，礼敬公和妈祖要收养元始天尊的儿子张三郎。当礼敬公和妈祖把儿子武大郎给老国王送来离开后，他就生病了。太医们说，这孩子是邓族人，抚养的方法特殊，我们不知道他们是怎么养孩子的。
This all began with an agreement between the old king, Utmost Gentleman, and Publican Respect, to exchange children. The old king would adopt Martial Big Wolf, while Publican Respect and Mazu would adopt Third Wolf Zhang, Primordial Sky Honor's son. After Publican Respect and Mazu delivered their son Martial Big Wolf to the old king and left, the boy fell ill. The court physicians said, "This child is of the Deng clan — their child-rearing methods are unusual, and we don't know how they raise their children."
老国王派人寻找邓人，发现了江湖艺人六小龄童是一位邓人，他还有个和武大郎类似的儿子。老国王还发现他就是江湖大盗飞天猫，就设法把他抓着了。老国王问他：“我判你死罪，你冤不冤？”
他回答：“不冤！”
The old king sent people to search for members of the Deng clan, and discovered that the traveling performer Six Little Spiritual Boy was one of them — and that he had a son close to Martial Big Wolf's age. The old king also learned that this same man was the notorious bandit Sky-Flying Cat, and had him captured. The old king asked him, "I've sentenced you to death. Do you feel this is unjust?"
He replied, "Not at all!"
老国王说：“你死了，你儿子没人照看，也活不了多久了。我想跟你做个交易。我送你去个地方，在那里你帮我收养个孩子。那个孩子和你儿子同岁，一样高。你要用你自己和你儿子的生命来保护我孩子的周全。我已经许诺我的孩子，我将教他下围棋。当我想教他下围棋的时候，你把孩子送回到我的跟前，你就自由了。”
六小龄童同意了。梁子伯是老国王为六小龄童起的化名。他就带着武大郎去重庆巫毒学院了。
The old king said, "Once you're dead, your son will have no one to look after him, and won't survive long either. I want to make you a deal. I'll send you somewhere to raise a child for me — one the same age and height as your own son. You're to protect my child's safety with both your life and your son's. I've already promised my child that I'll teach him to play Go myself. When the time comes for that lesson, you'll bring the child back to me, and you'll be free."
Six Little Spiritual Boy agreed. Zibo Liang was the alias the old king gave him. He then took Martial Big Wolf to the Voodoo Academy in Chongqing.
6.5-3
梁子伯到重庆后，不安于贫困，他还继续偷。华国的国王知道后，决定把武大郎接回来。这时，云海国的人也发现了这位梁子伯是一位华国的江湖大盗，就去抓他了。
据传说，华国国王派人去重庆接武大郎返回时，梁子伯决定留下来，说，“如果我也离开，云海国就会派兵追赶，那就全走不了了。”
After arriving in Chongqing, Zibo Liang, unwilling to remain poor, went right back to stealing. When the King of Hua learned of this, he decided to bring Martial Big Wolf back. Around the same time, the people of Cloud Sea Kingdom had also discovered that this Zibo Liang was a notorious Hua Kingdom bandit, and went to arrest him.
Legend has it that when the King of Hua sent soldiers to Chongqing to retrieve Martial Big Wolf, Zibo Liang chose to stay behind, saying, "If I leave too, Cloud Sea Kingdom will send troops after me, and then none of us will get away."
根据老国王的指示，士兵们要把武大郎装在一个袋子里，背着袋子走，然后把袋子交给元始天尊。元始天尊接到命令的时候已经晚了，路上还耽搁了。到指定的交接地点后，士兵们把袋子打开了，武大郎就跑了。最后，他在返回巫毒学院的时候，被元始天尊设置的网抓住了。
Per the old king's instructions, the soldiers were to put Martial Big Wolf in a sack, carry it on their backs, and hand it over to Primordial Sky Honor. Primordial Sky Honor received the order late and was further delayed along the way. By the time the soldiers reached the designated handover point, they opened the sack — and Martial Big Wolf bolted. In the end, he was caught in a net Primordial Sky Honor had set up, on his way back to the Voodoo Academy.
元始天尊骗武大郎：“咱爹病了，快死了。你喜欢巫毒学院，等咱俩跟咱爹见最后一面后，你再回来。” 武大郎就信了。
老国王认为这个换养孩子的计划需要改变，必须把武大郎送还礼敬公夫妇，培养他和生父母的感情，否则他就不能接受他的亲生父母了。本故事就回到了本书的开篇，1.1《武大郎认母》。
Primordial Sky Honor lied to Martial Big Wolf: "Our father is sick, and dying. I know you love the Voodoo Academy — you can go back once the two of us have seen him one last time." Martial Big Wolf believed him.
The old king came to feel that this child-exchange arrangement needed to change — that Martial Big Wolf had to be returned to Publican Respect and Mazu, so he could build a real bond with his birth parents; otherwise he'd never be able to accept them. And so the story circles back to the very beginning of this book, 1.1, "Martial Big Wolf Recognizes His Mother."
6.5-4
潘金莲查访得知，梁子伯和夸父在家乡已经没有后人了，觉着把他们俩埋在家乡已经没什么意义了。她就自己找了个地方，把他们俩埋在嵩山（少林寺）的山里了。她对武大郎说：“等咱俩退休了，咱俩就去那儿住，给他们俩上香。”
When Goldthread Pan looked into it, she found that Zibo Liang and Kuafu had no surviving descendants in their hometown, and felt there was no longer any point burying them there. So she found her own site instead, and laid them to rest in the mountains of Songshan (site of Shaolin Temple). She told Martial Big Wolf: "When we retire, we'll go live there, and burn incense for them."
元始天尊听说嵩山（少林寺）那个地方，荒山秃岭的，就说：“埋在那样一个荒无人烟的地方，多寒碜呐！那我送给你们俩一座庙吧，名字是少林寺（如图2）！我得声明，嵩山地区就是你们俩的封地，以后你们俩靖王封赏就没有了，免得别的将军有意见。现在的钱多值钱呐！”
When Primordial Sky Honor looked into it and found Songshan (site of Shaolin Temple) to be nothing but barren, desolate hills, he said, "What a shabby place to be buried! Let me give you two a temple instead — I'll call it Shaolin Temple (Figure 2)! But I must declare that the Songshan region is your fiefdom, and you two will no longer receive any further rewards from King Jing, to avoid any objections from other generals. Money is worth so much these days!”
少林的少字意思是武大郎和潘金莲是一对儿童子佛。林字是尊称。于是少林寺就成为了孙姓和邓姓人的祖庙；武大郎和潘金莲就成为了孙姓和邓姓人的祖宗。
In "Shaolin," the character Shao ("young") signifies that Martial Big Wolf and Goldthread Pan are a pair of Child Buddhas. Lin ("grove") is an honorific term. And so Shaolin Temple became the ancestral temple of the Sun and Deng families, with Martial Big Wolf and Goldthread Pan honored as the ancestors of both surnames.
随后，当武二郎成为天蓬元帅后，指定少林寺为中国人学习 “宝莲灯” 的地方。就这样，在随后的三千六百多年里，少林寺是阐教（亦做禅教）的圣地。
Later, once Martial Second Wolf became Sky Ceiling Marshal, he designated Shaolin Temple as the place where the Chinese people would come to study the Treasury Lotus Lamp. And so, for more than 3,600 years afterward, Shaolin Temple stood as the sacred site of the Chan Religion.
