Chapter 178 Chapter Twenty Nine

How Pagano came to the Haunted Isle, and its Ruler, the Fasting Master The boats of a group of happy people have been repaired and reorganized, and the rations and food are fully equipped. The people on Longevity Island are all happy because of their large and generous manners. We are also very happy. Sail out to sea.At noon, Xenomaen pointed to us from afar at the Haunted Island under the rule of the Lord of Fasting. Paguguay had heard of this place in the past. Moreover, there was nothing to eat on the whole island and even in the king's palace, so he would be happy to go and see it himself.

Xenomarn said: "There is nothing else to be seen there, except a guy who eats beans ②, a guy who eats mackerel barrels ③, a guy who catches moles ④, a guy who bundles hay ⑤, with a beard and a hair. The half-tall man in the two circles⑥, the bewildered guy⑦, the leader who eats fish⑧, the leader who eats mustard⑨, the person who whips children⑩, the person who puts plaster on his head(11), the doctor’s Lao Tzu and adoptive father (12), the guy who goes to the church, worships the Way of the Cross, and gets forgiveness (13), the guy who practiced the Tao, the devout and enthusiastic believer. They cry three quarters of the day, and the happy things start from Not participating (14). However, among the 40 surrounding countries, he is the most skillful maker of meat skewers and meat forks (15). Six years ago, I went to the Sneaky Island once, and I got a bunch of them all at once. It was all given to Kant's butcher. They liked it very much, of course for their reasons. When we come back, I will show you the two at the gate①. Besides, he eats nothing but salt shirts, salt turbans, salt Helmet, salt armor②. If he eats too much, sometimes he will have a hard time urinating. His clothes are good, both in style and color, gray and white③, front and back, and the arms are the same."

"I would love to hear it," said Paiguguet, "if you could tell me as much about his appearance and fatness as about his clothes, his food, and his way of life." "Yes, tell me, little fellow," said Brother John, "I found him in the scriptures too, and he's after the festivals." Xenomaen said: "Of course you can talk about it. But when we get to the Savage Island ruled by his sworn enemy, Fat Belly, we still have to listen. Their battles are almost endless. If there are no kind people Neighbor Carnival ① stepped in to protect, and the king of fasting has long ago wiped out those fat intestines."

Brother John asked: "Is the fat belly a man or a woman? Is it a god or a man? Is it an ordinary woman or a virgin who is waiting to be written?" ① Sneaky Island: The author intentionally alludes to the sneaky monks in the monastery, and he called them "moles" in the third part. ② Refers to vegetarianism. ③ During the fasting period, dried carp is the main dish in the monastery. ④ The season of catching moles is during the fasting period. ⑤ The season of selling hay during Lent. ⑥ "Unshaven" refers to the sloppy image of priests during the fasting period, and "two circles on the head" refers to the shaved head of Franciscan monks.

⑦ During the fasting period, some ceremonies are held with lights at night, so everyone is "bewildered and confused". ⑧ Fish is allowed to eat during the fasting period. ⑨ Mustard is the main condiment during the fasting period. ⑩ During the fasting period, the teachers and parents were so hungry that they had to punish the children with whips. ① There are two large stone pillars on both sides of the Kant Church, which look like barbecue racks from a distance. ② The author intentionally means that the fasting period is full of rough and indigestible food. ③ Refers to the fact that Franciscans do not wear shirts during the fasting period, but only wear bitter clothes and beat bitter whips.

④ Catholic holidays are either fixed or not (i.e. event festivals). Lent festivals are counted after the event festivals. ① The original text mardigras refers to the last day before fasting, on which you can eat, drink and revel. Xenomaen replied: "In terms of gender, it is female, and in terms of category, it is human. Some are virgins, and some are not." Brother John said: "If I don't help them, let me die! What an unnatural act to fight against women! Let's go back at once and kill this big bastard." "Go beat the priest of fasting," said Panurge, "all the devils above me, I am not so stupid, nor have the guts! Quid juris? Anvil, there is a scorpion over there, so what can we do? Syphilis sores! Fuck him! Let's go in another direction! Fasting leader, see you later! Those fat intestines, please solve them, and don't forget the small intestines. "

② Latin: "What is this law?" Here it means "Where does this start?"
