第035回 Monkey Defeats the Gold and Silver Horned Kings

第035回Chapter 35

此詩暗合孫大聖的道妙。This poem secretly matches the Taoist marvels of the Great Sage Sun.他自得了那魔真寶，籠在袖中，喜道：「潑魔苦苦用心拿我，誠所謂水中撈月；Having obtained that demon's true treasure, he tucked it in his sleeve and said gladly, "The wretched fiend labored so hard to catch me — truly it was like scooping the moon from water;老孫若要擒你，就好似火上弄冰。」藏著葫蘆，密密的溜出門外，現了本相，厲聲高叫道：「精怪開門！」傍有小妖道：「你又是甚人，敢來吆喝？」行者道：「快報與你那老潑魔，吾乃行者孫來也。」but if old Monkey wants to catch you, it'll be as easy as playing with ice over a fire." Hiding the gourd, he slipped quietly out the door, resumed his true form, and shouted fiercely, "Open the door, you goblins!" A little demon nearby said, "Who are you now, daring to come shouting here?" Wukong said, "Go quickly and report to that old wretched fiend of yours that Xingzhe Sun has come."

此诗暗合孙大圣的道妙。他自得了那魔真宝，笼在袖中，喜道：「泼魔苦苦用心拿我，诚所谓水中捞月；老孙若要擒你，就好似火上弄冰。」藏著葫芦，密密的溜出门外，现了本相，厉声高叫道：「精怪开门！」傍有小妖道：「你又是甚人，敢来吆喝？」行者道：「快报与你那老泼魔，吾乃行者孙来也。」

那小妖急入裡報道：「大王，門外有個甚麼行者孫來了。」老魔大驚道：「賢弟，不好了，惹動他一窩風了。That little demon hurried inside to report, "Great King, outside the gate there's someone called Xingzhe Sun." The Old Demon was greatly alarmed and said, "Worthy brother, this is bad — we've stirred up a whole nest of them.幌金繩現拴著孫行者，葫蘆裡現裝著者行孫，怎麼又有個甚麼行者孫？The Golden Rope has Sun Xingzhe bound right now, the gourd currently holds Zhe Xingsun, so how can there also be a Xingzhe Sun?想是他幾個兄弟都來了。」二魔道：「兄長放心。I suppose several of his brothers have all come." The Second Demon said, "Elder brother, set your mind at ease.我這葫蘆裝下一千人哩，我才裝了者行孫一個，又怕那甚麼行者孫？This gourd of mine can hold a thousand people — I've only just packed away Zhe Xingsun, one person; why should I fear this so-called Xingzhe Sun?等我出去看看，一發裝來。」老魔道：「兄弟仔細。」Let me go out and take a look, and pack him away too." The Old Demon said, "Brother, be careful."

那小妖急入里报道：「大王，门外有个甚么行者孙来了。」老魔大惊道：「贤弟，不好了，惹动他一窝风了。幌金绳现拴著孙行者，葫芦里现装著者行孙，怎么又有个甚么行者孙？想是他几个兄弟都来了。」二魔道：「兄长放心。我这葫芦装下一千人哩，我才装了者行孙一个，又怕那甚么行者孙？等我出去看看，一发装来。」老魔道：「兄弟仔细。」

你看那二魔拿著個假葫蘆，還像前番，雄糾糾，氣昂昂，走出門高呼道：「你是那裡人氏，敢在此間吆喝？」行者道：「你認不得我：Watch now — that Second Demon, holding a fake gourd, still swaggering as boldly and imposingly as before, walked out the door and called loudly, "What sort of person are you, from where, that you dare shout here?" Wukong said, "You don't recognize me:

你看那二魔拿著个假葫芦，还像前番，雄纠纠，气昂昂，走出门高呼道：「你是那里人氏，敢在此间吆喝？」行者道：「你认不得我：

那魔道：「你且過來，我不與你相打，但我叫你一聲，你敢應麼？」行者笑道：「你叫我，我就應了；That demon said, "Come closer — I won't fight you, but if I call your name once, dare you answer?" Wukong laughed and said, "If you call me, I'll answer at once;我若叫你，你可應麼？」那魔道：「我叫你，是我有個寶貝葫蘆，可以裝人；but if I call you, will you answer?" That demon said, "When I call you, it's because I have a treasure, a gourd, that can hold people;你叫我，卻有何物？」行者道：「我也有個葫蘆兒。」那魔道：「既有，拿出來我看。」行者就於袖中取出葫蘆道：「潑魔，你看。」幌一幌，復藏在袖中，恐他來搶。when you call me, what do you have?" Wukong said, "I also have a gourd." That demon said, "Since you have one, take it out and let me see." Wukong then drew the gourd from his sleeve and said, "Wretched fiend, look." He gave it a shake, then hid it back in his sleeve at once, fearing the demon might snatch it.

那魔道：「你且过来，我不与你相打，但我叫你一声，你敢应么？」行者笑道：「你叫我，我就应了；我若叫你，你可应么？」那魔道：「我叫你，是我有个宝贝葫芦，可以装人；你叫我，却有何物？」行者道：「我也有个葫芦儿。」那魔道：「既有，拿出来我看。」行者就于袖中取出葫芦道：「泼魔，你看。」幌一幌，复藏在袖中，恐他来抢。

那魔見了，大驚道：「他葫蘆是那裡來的？When that demon saw it, he was greatly astonished and said, "Where did his gourd come from?怎麼就與我的一般？How can it be exactly the same as mine?縱是一根藤上結的，也有個大小不同，偏正不一，卻怎麼一般無二？」他便正色叫道：「行者孫，你那葫蘆是那裡來的？」行者委的不知來歷，接過口來，就問他一句道：「你那葫蘆是那裡來的？」那魔不知是個見識，只道是句老實言語，就將根本從頭說出道：「我這葫蘆是混沌初分，天開地闢，有一位太上老祖，解化女媧之名，煉石補天，普救閻浮世界。Even if it grew on the same vine, there ought to be some difference in size or shape — how can it be utterly identical, without the slightest difference?" He then put on a serious face and called out, "Xingzhe Sun, where did your gourd come from?" The Great Sage truly had no idea of its origin, so he took the question and turned it right back, asking, "Where did your gourd come from?" That demon, not seeing through the trick, took it for an honest question, and so told its whole origin from the beginning: "This gourd of mine dates from when chaos first divided and heaven and earth first opened. There was a Grand Supreme Elder Ancestor, who in the guise of Nüwa, smelted stones to mend the sky and gave universal salvation to the world of Jambudvipa.補到乾宮缺地，見一座崑崙山腳下，有一縷仙藤，上結著這個紫金紅葫蘆，卻便是老君留下到如今。」大聖聞言，就綽了他口氣道：「我的葫蘆，也是那裡來的。」魔頭道：「怎見得？」大聖道：「自清濁初開，天不滿西北，地不滿東南，太上道祖解化女媧，補完天缺，行至崑崙山下，有根仙藤，藤結有兩個葫蘆。When he came to mend the gap in the Qian palace of heaven, he saw at the foot of Mount Kunlun a strand of immortal vine, on which grew this purple-gold red gourd — and it is exactly what Laojun left behind, down to this very day." On hearing this, the Great Sage seized on his words and picked up the same tone, saying, "My gourd, too, came from there." The demon chief said, "How can that be proven?" The Great Sage said, "From when the pure and the turbid first separated, heaven was incomplete in the northwest and earth was incomplete in the southeast; the Grand Supreme Ancestor of the Tao, in the guise of Nüwa, mended the gap in the sky, and passing by the foot of Mount Kunlun, found an immortal vine bearing two gourds.我得一個是雄的，你那個卻是雌的。」那怪道：「莫說雌雄，但只裝得人的，就是好寶貝。」大聖道：「你也說得是，我就讓你先裝。」I obtained the male one; that one of yours is the female." The demon said, "Never mind male or female — as long as it can hold people, it's a fine treasure." The Great Sage said, "You speak well enough — I'll let you try packing me away first."

那魔见了，大惊道：「他葫芦是那里来的？怎么就与我的一般？纵是一根藤上结的，也有个大小不同，偏正不一，却怎么一般无二？」他便正色叫道：「行者孙，你那葫芦是那里来的？」行者委的不知来历，接过口来，就问他一句道：「你那葫芦是那里来的？」那魔不知是个见识，只道是句老实言语，就将根本从头说出道：「我这葫芦是混沌初分，天开地辟，有一位太上老祖，解化女娲之名，炼石补天，普救阎浮世界。补到干宫缺地，见一座昆仑山脚下，有一缕仙藤，上结著这个紫金红葫芦，却便是老君留下到如今。」大圣闻言，就绰了他口气道：「我的葫芦，也是那里来的。」魔头道：「怎见得？」大圣道：「自清浊初开，天不满西北，地不满东南，太上道祖解化女娲，补完天缺，行至昆仑山下，有根仙藤，藤结有两个葫芦。我得一个是雄的，你那个却是雌的。」那怪道：「莫说雌雄，但只装得人的，就是好宝贝。」大圣道：「你也说得是，我就让你先装。」

那怪甚喜，急縱身跳將起去，到空中，執著葫蘆，叫一聲：「行者孫。」大聖聽得，卻就不歇氣，連應了八九聲，只是不能裝去。That demon was overjoyed, and at once leapt up into the air, holding the gourd, and called out once, "Xingzhe Sun." The Great Sage heard it, and without pausing for breath, answered eight or nine times in a row, yet still could not be packed away.那魔墜將下來，跌腳搥胸道：「天那！The demon fell back down, stamping his feet and beating his chest, saying, "Heaven!只說世情不改變哩，這樣個寶貝，也怕老公，雌見了雄，就不敢裝了。」行者笑道：「你且收起，輪到老孫該叫你哩。」急縱觔斗，跳起去，將葫蘆底兒朝天，口兒朝地，照定妖魔，叫聲：「銀角大王。」那怪不敢閉口，只得應了一聲。They do say the ways of the world never change — even a treasure like this fears its own husband; the female, seeing the male, dared not pack him away." Wukong laughed and said, "Put that away for now — it's my turn, old Monkey's, to call your name." He quickly somersaulted up into the air, turned the gourd's bottom toward heaven and its mouth toward the earth, aimed it straight at the demon, and called out, "Silver Horn King." That demon dared not keep his mouth shut, and could only answer once.倏的裝在裡面，被行者貼上「太上老君急急如律令奉敕」的帖子。In an instant he was packed away inside, and Wukong sealed it with the talisman reading "By Order of the Supreme Lord Laozi, Swiftly as the Law Commands."心中暗喜道：「我的兒，你今日也來試試新了。」In his heart he rejoiced secretly, saying, "My child, today you too get a taste of something new."

那怪甚喜，急纵身跳将起去，到空中，执著葫芦，叫一声：「行者孙。」大圣听得，却就不歇气，连应了八九声，只是不能装去。那魔坠将下来，跌脚搥胸道：「天那！只说世情不改变哩，这样个宝贝，也怕老公，雌见了雄，就不敢装了。」行者笑道：「你且收起，轮到老孙该叫你哩。」急纵觔斗，跳起去，将葫芦底儿朝天，口儿朝地，照定妖魔，叫声：「银角大王。」那怪不敢闭口，只得应了一声。倏的装在里面，被行者贴上「太上老君急急如律令奉敕」的帖子。心中暗喜道：「我的儿，你今日也来试试新了。」

他就按落雲頭，拿著葫蘆，心心念念，只是要救師父，又往蓮花洞口而來。He then brought his cloud down, and holding the gourd, his mind fixed single-mindedly on rescuing his master, headed once more toward the mouth of the Lotus Cave.那山上都是些窪踏不平之路，況他又是個圈盤腿，拐呀拐的走著，搖的那葫蘆裡漷漷索索，響聲不絕。All over that mountain were rough, uneven paths, and besides, he was bow-legged, hobbling along, so that the gourd shook and rattled with a sloshing, rustling sound that never stopped.你道他怎麼便有響聲？Now why do you suppose it made such a sound?原來孫大聖是熬煉過的身體，急切化他不得；It turns out the Great Sage Sun's body had been tempered and refined, so it could not be melted down in a hurry;那怪雖也能騰雲駕霧，不過是些法術，大端是凡胎未脫，到於寶貝裡就化了。that demon, though he too could ride clouds and mount mist, possessed only sorcery — in the main he had not yet shed his mortal frame, and so once inside the treasure, he began to melt.行者還不當他就化了，笑道：「我兒子啊，不知是撒尿耶，不知是漱口哩？Wukong still did not think he had already melted, and laughed, saying, "My son, ah, I wonder if that's you making water, or rinsing your mouth?這是老孫幹過的買賣。This is a trade old Monkey has done before.不等到七八日，化成稀汁，我也不揭蓋來看。Not waiting seven or eight days for you to turn into thin liquid, I won't even lift the lid to look.忙怎的？What's the hurry?有甚要緊？What does it matter?想著我出來的容易，就該千年不看才好。」他拿著葫蘆，說著話，不覺的到了洞口，把那葫蘆搖搖，一發響了。Considering how easily I myself once got out, you ought by rights not be looked at for a thousand years." Carrying the gourd and talking to himself, before he knew it he had reached the cave entrance, and he shook the gourd again — it rattled all the louder.他道：「這個像發課的筩子響，倒好發課。He said, "This sounds like the rattling tube used for casting fortunes — it would make a fine one for divination.等老孫發一課，看師父甚麼時才得出門。」你看他手裡不住的搖，口裡不住的念道：「周易文王、孔子聖人、桃花女先生、鬼谷子先生。」Let old Monkey cast a fortune, and see when my master will get out of here." Watch him now, shaking it ceaselessly in his hand, chanting ceaselessly with his mouth: "Zhou Yi, King Wen, Confucius the Sage, Lady Taohua, Master Guiguzi."

他就按落云头，拿著葫芦，心心念念，只是要救师父，又往莲花洞口而来。那山上都是些洼踏不平之路，况他又是个圈盘腿，拐呀拐的走著，摇的那葫芦里漷漷索索，响声不绝。你道他怎么便有响声？原来孙大圣是熬炼过的身体，急切化他不得；那怪虽也能腾云驾雾，不过是些法术，大端是凡胎未脱，到于宝贝里就化了。行者还不当他就化了，笑道：「我儿子啊，不知是撒尿耶，不知是漱口哩？这是老孙干过的买卖。不等到七八日，化成稀汁，我也不揭盖来看。忙怎的？有甚要紧？想著我出来的容易，就该千年不看才好。」他拿著葫芦，说著话，不觉的到了洞口，把那葫芦摇摇，一发响了。他道：「这个像发课的筩子响，倒好发课。等老孙发一课，看师父甚么时才得出门。」你看他手里不住的摇，口里不住的念道：「周易文王、孔子圣人、桃花女先生、鬼谷子先生。」

那洞裡小妖看見道：「大王，禍事了，行者孫把二大王爺爺裝在葫蘆裡發課哩。」那老魔聞得此言，諕得魂飛魄散，骨軟觔麻，撲的跌倒在地，放聲大哭道：「賢弟呀！The little demons inside the cave saw this and said, "Great King, disaster! Xingzhe Sun has packed our Second Great King, Grandfather, into the gourd and is casting fortunes with it." When the Old Demon heard this, his soul flew and his spirit scattered in fright; his bones went soft and his sinews numb, and he fell flat on the ground with a thud, weeping aloud, "Worthy brother!我和你私離上界，轉託塵凡，指望同享榮華，永為山洞之主。You and I left the upper realm privately together and took refuge in the mortal dust, hoping to share glory and splendor together, forever lords of this mountain cave.怎知為這和尚，傷了你的性命，斷吾手足之情。」滿洞群妖，一齊痛哭。Who would have thought that because of this monk, your life would be lost, severing the bond between us as brothers, as close as hand and foot." The whole cave of demons wept bitterly together.

那洞里小妖看见道：「大王，祸事了，行者孙把二大王爷爷装在葫芦里发课哩。」那老魔闻得此言，諕得魂飞魄散，骨软觔麻，扑的跌倒在地，放声大哭道：「贤弟呀！我和你私离上界，转托尘凡，指望同享荣华，永为山洞之主。怎知为这和尚，伤了你的性命，断吾手足之情。」满洞群妖，一齐痛哭。

豬八戒吊在梁上，聽得他一家子齊哭，忍不住叫道：「妖精，你且莫哭，等老豬講與你聽。Zhu Bajie, hanging from the beam, heard the whole family weeping together and could not help calling out, "Monster, don't cry just yet — let old Zhu explain it to you.先來的孫行者，次來的者行孫，後來的行者孫，返復三字，都是我師兄一人。The Sun Xingzhe who came first, the Zhe Xingsun who came next, and the Xingzhe Sun who came after — the three characters rearranged every which way — are all one and the same, my elder martial brother.他有七十二變化，騰那進來，盜了寶貝，裝了令弟。He has seventy-two transformations, and by some sleight of movement got in here, stole the treasure, and packed away your younger brother.令弟已是死了，不必這等扛喪。Your younger brother is already dead — there's no need to carry on mourning like this.快些兒刷淨鍋灶，辦些香蕈、蘑菇、茶芽、竹筍、豆腐、麵觔、木耳、蔬菜，請我師徒們下來，與你令弟念卷《受生經》。」那老魔聞言，心中大怒道：「只說豬八戒老實，原來甚不老實！Quickly scrub the pots and stove clean, and prepare some mushrooms, fungus, tea buds, bamboo shoots, bean curd, gluten, wood ears, and vegetables; invite my master and fellow disciples down, and we'll chant the Sutra of Rebirth for your younger brother." When the Old Demon heard this, he grew furious at heart, saying, "They said Zhu Bajie was an honest fool — turns out he's not honest at all!他倒作笑話兒打覷我。」叫：「小妖，且休舉哀，把豬八戒解下來，蒸得稀爛，等我吃飽了，再去拿孫行者報仇。」沙僧埋怨八戒道：「好麼，我說教你莫多話，多話的要先蒸吃哩。」那獃子也盡有幾分悚懼。He's actually making a joke to mock me." He called out, "Little demons, hold off the mourning for now, untie Zhu Bajie, steam him till he's thoroughly done, and once I've eaten my fill, I'll go after Sun Xingzhe again for revenge." Sha Seng grumbled at Bajie, "Well then, didn't I tell you not to talk so much — talk too much and you're the first to be steamed and eaten." That fool, too, felt more than a little afraid.傍有一小妖道：「大王，豬八戒不好蒸。」八戒道：「阿彌陀佛！A little demon nearby said, "Great King, Zhu Bajie doesn't steam well." Bajie said, "Amitabha!是那位哥哥積陰德的？Which brother has been building up secret merit for me?果是不好蒸。」又有一個妖道：「將他皮剝了，就好蒸。」八戒慌了道：「好蒸，好蒸，皮骨雖然粗糙，湯滾就爛，��戶��戶。」Indeed, I don't steam well." Then another demon said, "Strip off his skin, and he'll steam just fine." Bajie panicked and said, "He'll steam well, he'll steam well — though the skin and bones are coarse, once the broth boils he'll go soft, sizzle sizzle."

猪八戒吊在梁上，听得他一家子齐哭，忍不住叫道：「妖精，你且莫哭，等老猪讲与你听。先来的孙行者，次来的者行孙，后来的行者孙，返复三字，都是我师兄一人。他有七十二变化，腾那进来，盗了宝贝，装了令弟。令弟已是死了，不必这等扛丧。快些儿刷净锅灶，办些香蕈、蘑菇、茶芽、竹笋、豆腐、面觔、木耳、蔬菜，请我师徒们下来，与你令弟念卷《受生经》。」那老魔闻言，心中大怒道：「只说猪八戒老实，原来甚不老实！他倒作笑话儿打觑我。」叫：「小妖，且休举哀，把猪八戒解下来，蒸得稀烂，等我吃饱了，再去拿孙行者报仇。」沙僧埋怨八戒道：「好么，我说教你莫多话，多话的要先蒸吃哩。」那呆子也尽有几分悚惧。傍有一小妖道：「大王，猪八戒不好蒸。」八戒道：「阿弥陀佛！是那位哥哥积阴德的？果是不好蒸。」又有一个妖道：「将他皮剥了，就好蒸。」八戒慌了道：「好蒸，好蒸，皮骨虽然粗糙，汤滚就烂，𣙢户𣙢户。」

正嚷處，只見前門外一個小妖報道：「行者孫又罵上門來了。」那老魔又大驚道：「這廝輕我無人。」叫：「小的們，且把豬八戒照舊吊起，查一查還有幾件寶貝。」管家的小妖道：「洞中還有三件寶貝哩。」老魔問：「是那三件？」管家的道：「還有七星劍、芭蕉扇與淨瓶。」老魔道：「那瓶子不中用：原是叫人，人應了就裝得，轉把個口訣兒教了那孫行者，倒把自家兄弟裝去了。Right in the midst of this clamor, a little demon at the front gate came to report, "Xingzhe Sun is cursing at the gate again." The Old Demon was startled anew and said, "This wretch thinks too little of us, as if we had no one." He called out, "Little ones, hang Zhu Bajie back up as before, and check how many treasures we still have." The demon in charge of the household said, "There are still three treasures in the cave." The Old Demon asked, "Which three?" The steward said, "There's still the Seven-Star Sword, the Plantain-Leaf Fan, and the Pure Vase." The Old Demon said, "That vase is no use: it was originally meant to call a person's name, and once they answered, they'd be packed inside — but instead the spell was taught to that Sun Xingzhe, who turned it around and packed away our own brother.不用他，放在家裡。Never mind it, leave it at home.快將劍與扇子拿來。」那管家的即將兩件寶貝獻與老魔。Quickly bring the sword and the fan." The steward demon at once presented the two treasures to the Old Demon.老魔將芭蕉扇插在後項衣領，把七星劍提在手中，又點起大小群妖有三百多名，都教一個個拈槍弄棒，理索掄刀。The Old Demon tucked the plantain fan into the back of his collar, took the Seven-Star Sword in hand, and mustered the demon host, large and small, more than three hundred strong, having each and every one take up spear or club, coil rope or wield blade.這老魔卻頂盔貫甲，罩一領赤焰焰的絲袍。This Old Demon then donned helmet and armor, and put on a fiery red silk robe.群妖擺出陣去，要拿孫大聖。The demon host formed ranks and marched out, meaning to capture the Great Sage.

正嚷处，只见前门外一个小妖报道：「行者孙又骂上门来了。」那老魔又大惊道：「这厮轻我无人。」叫：「小的们，且把猪八戒照旧吊起，查一查还有几件宝贝。」管家的小妖道：「洞中还有三件宝贝哩。」老魔问：「是那三件？」管家的道：「还有七星剑、芭蕉扇与净瓶。」老魔道：「那瓶子不中用：原是叫人，人应了就装得，转把个口诀儿教了那孙行者，倒把自家兄弟装去了。不用他，放在家里。快将剑与扇子拿来。」那管家的即将两件宝贝献与老魔。老魔将芭蕉扇插在后项衣领，把七星剑提在手中，又点起大小群妖有三百多名，都教一个个拈枪弄棒，理索抡刀。这老魔却顶盔贯甲，罩一领赤焰焰的丝袍。群妖摆出阵去，要拿孙大圣。

那孫大聖早已知二魔化在葫蘆裡面，卻將他緊緊拴扣停當，撒在腰間，手持著金箍棒，準備廝殺。The Great Sage Sun already knew that the Second Demon had melted inside the gourd, and so he tied it up tightly and secured it, tucked it into his waistband, and took the golden-hooped rod in hand, ready for battle.只見那老妖紅旗招展，跳出門來。Just then he saw the Old Demon, red banners waving, leap out through the gate.卻怎生打扮：And how was he dressed?

那孙大圣早已知二魔化在葫芦里面，却将他紧紧拴扣停当，撒在腰间，手持著金箍棒，准备厮杀。只见那老妖红旗招展，跳出门来。却怎生打扮：

那老魔急令小妖擺開陣勢，罵道：「你這猴子，十分無禮。The Old Demon hastily ordered the little demons to form battle lines, and cursed, "You wretched ape, utterly without manners.害我兄弟，傷我手足，著然可恨！」行者罵道：「你這討死的怪物，你一個妖精的性命捨不得。You've harmed my brother, injured my very hand and foot — how truly hateful!" Wukong cursed back, "You death-courting monster, you can't even bear to give up the life of one single demon.似我師父、師弟，連馬四個生靈，平白的吊在洞裡，我心何忍？But my master, my fellow disciples, and the horse too — four living beings in all — hang there in your cave for no reason at all; how could my heart bear it?情理何甘？How could reason and feeling accept it?快快的送將出來還我，多多貼些盤費，喜喜歡歡打發老孫起身，還饒了你這個老妖的狗命。」那怪那容分說，舉寶劍劈頭就砍；Quickly bring them out and return them to me, add plenty of extra travel money, and send old Monkey off happily on his way — and I'll spare this old demon's worthless life besides." That demon would brook no argument, and raised his precious sword to hack straight at his head;這大聖使鐵棒舉手相迎。the Great Sage raised his iron rod in hand to meet him.這一場在洞門外好殺。This was quite a fight outside the cave gate.咦！Ah!

那老魔急令小妖摆开阵势，骂道：「你这猴子，十分无礼。害我兄弟，伤我手足，著然可恨！」行者骂道：「你这讨死的怪物，你一个妖精的性命舍不得。似我师父、师弟，连马四个生灵，平白的吊在洞里，我心何忍？情理何甘？快快的送将出来还我，多多贴些盘费，喜喜欢欢打发老孙起身，还饶了你这个老妖的狗命。」那怪那容分说，举宝剑劈头就砍；这大圣使铁棒举手相迎。这一场在洞门外好杀。咦！

這老魔與大聖戰經二十回合，不分勝負。This Old Demon and the Great Sage fought through twenty rounds without either gaining the upper hand.他把那劍梢一指，叫聲：「小妖齊來。」那三百餘精一齊擁上，把行者圍在垓心。He pointed with the tip of his sword and called out, "All demons, come at once!" Those three hundred-odd goblins surged forward together and surrounded Wukong right in the middle.好大聖，公然無懼，使一條棒，左衝右撞，後抵前遮。That fine Great Sage, utterly fearless, wielded his rod, striking left and right, blocking front and rear.那小妖都有手段，越打越上，一似綿絮纏身，摟腰扯腿，莫肯退後。Those little demons all had some skill, and the more they fought, the more they pressed in, clinging like cotton wound around his body, grabbing at his waist and pulling at his legs, unwilling in the least to fall back.大聖慌了，即使個身外身法，將左脅下毫毛拔了一把，嚼碎噴去，喝聲叫：「變！」一根根都變做行者。The Great Sage grew alarmed, and at once used the body-outside-body technique, plucking a handful of hairs from beneath his left rib, chewing them to bits and spitting them out, shouting, "Change!" — and one by one they all turned into Wukongs.你看他長的使棒，短的掄拳，再小的沒處下手，抱著孤拐啃觔，把那小妖都打得星落雲散，齊聲喊道：「大王啊，事不諧矣，難矣乎哉！Watch them now — the taller ones wielding clubs, the shorter ones swinging fists, and the smallest, with nowhere else to strike, clinging to ankles and gnawing at tendons, until they beat all those little demons so that they scattered like falling stars and drifting clouds, crying out together, "Great King, ah, this is no good, it's hopeless!滿地盈山，皆是孫行者了。」被這身外法把群妖打退，止撇得老魔圍困中間，趕得東奔西走，出路無門。The whole ground and mountain are covered in Sun Xingzhes." This body-outside-body technique drove the demon host back in retreat, leaving only the Old Demon trapped in the middle, chased east and west, with no way out.

这老魔与大圣战经二十回合，不分胜负。他把那剑梢一指，叫声：「小妖齐来。」那三百余精一齐拥上，把行者围在垓心。好大圣，公然无惧，使一条棒，左冲右撞，后抵前遮。那小妖都有手段，越打越上，一似绵絮缠身，搂腰扯腿，莫肯退后。大圣慌了，即使个身外身法，将左胁下毫毛拔了一把，嚼碎喷去，喝声叫：「变！」一根根都变做行者。你看他长的使棒，短的抡拳，再小的没处下手，抱著孤拐啃觔，把那小妖都打得星落云散，齐声喊道：「大王啊，事不谐矣，难矣乎哉！满地盈山，皆是孙行者了。」被这身外法把群妖打退，止撇得老魔围困中间，赶得东奔西走，出路无门。

那魔慌了，將左手擎著寶劍，右手伸於項後，取出芭蕉扇子，望東南丙丁火，正對離宮，唿喇的一扇子搧將下來只見那就地上，火光焰焰。That demon, in a panic, held the precious sword in his left hand, and reaching behind his neck with his right, drew out the plantain fan; facing southeast toward the Bing-Ding fire, directly opposite the Li trigram, he gave it a whoosh of a fan downward — and at once the ground burst into blazing flame.原來這般寶貝，平白地搧出火來。It turned out that such was the nature of this treasure, that fanned for no other reason, fire poured out of it.那怪物著實無情，一連搧了七八扇子，熯天熾地，烈火飛騰。That monster was utterly merciless, and fanned it seven or eight times running, till the flames scorched the sky and blazed across the earth, fierce fire leaping and soaring.好火：What a fire:

那魔慌了，将左手擎著宝剑，右手伸于项后，取出芭蕉扇子，望东南丙丁火，正对离宫，唿喇的一扇子扇将下来只见那就地上，火光焰焰。原来这般宝贝，平白地扇出火来。那怪物著实无情，一连扇了七八扇子，熯天炽地，烈火飞腾。好火：

大聖見此惡火，卻也心驚膽顫，道聲：「不好了，我本身可處，毫毛不濟，一落這火中，豈不真如燎毛之易？」將身一抖，遂將毫毛收上身來。Seeing this fierce fire, the Great Sage too felt his heart shake and his gall tremble, and said to himself, "This is bad — my own body I can manage, but my hairs cannot stand up to this; once caught in this fire, would it not truly be as easy as singeing hair?" He shook himself once, and gathered all the hairs back onto his body.只將一根變作假身子，避火逃災。He left only a single hair transformed into a false body, to dodge the fire and escape the disaster.他的真身，捻著避火訣，縱觔斗，跳將起去，脫離了大火之中，徑奔他蓮花洞裡，想著要救師父。His true body, forming the fire-avoiding mudra, somersaulted up and leapt away, escaping from the midst of the great fire, and headed straight for the Lotus Cave, thinking only of rescuing his master.急到門前，把雲頭按落，又見那洞門外有百十個小妖，都破頭折腳，肉綻皮開。Hurrying to the gate, he brought his cloud down, and saw outside the cave entrance a hundred or so little demons, all with broken heads and snapped legs, flesh torn and skin split open.原來都是他分身法打傷了的，都在這裡聲聲喚喚，忍疼而立。It turned out these were all the ones injured by his body-dividing technique, all standing there groaning and moaning, enduring the pain.大聖見了，按不住惡性兇頑，掄起鐵棒，一路打將進去。When the Great Sage saw them, he could not hold back his fierce, savage temper, and swinging up his iron rod, beat his way straight in.可憐把那苦煉人身的功果息，依然是塊舊皮毛。Pitiful — the merit of a body painstakingly refined and tempered was undone, and it became once more just a heap of old fur and hide.

大圣见此恶火，却也心惊胆颤，道声：「不好了，我本身可处，毫毛不济，一落这火中，岂不真如燎毛之易？」将身一抖，遂将毫毛收上身来。只将一根变作假身子，避火逃灾。他的真身，捻著避火诀，纵觔斗，跳将起去，脱离了大火之中，径奔他莲花洞里，想著要救师父。急到门前，把云头按落，又见那洞门外有百十个小妖，都破头折脚，肉绽皮开。原来都是他分身法打伤了的，都在这里声声唤唤，忍疼而立。大圣见了，按不住恶性凶顽，抡起铁棒，一路打将进去。可怜把那苦炼人身的功果息，依然是块旧皮毛。

那大聖打絕了小妖，撞入洞裡，要解師父。The Great Sage, having wiped out the little demons, rushed into the cave, meaning to free his master.又見那內面有火光焰焰，諕得他手慌腳忙道：「罷了，罷了，這火從後門口燒起來，老孫卻難救師父也。」正悚懼處，仔細看時，呀！Then he saw fire blazing within, and in his fright his hands fumbled and his feet stumbled, saying, "That's it, that's it — this fire is burning up from the back door; old Monkey will find it hard to save my master now." Just as he stood there in dread, he looked closely — ah!原來不是火光，卻是一道金光。It turned out not to be firelight at all, but a beam of golden light.他正了性，往裡視之，乃羊脂玉淨瓶放光，卻自心中歡喜道：「好寶貝耶！He steadied himself, and looking closely inward, saw it was the sheep-fat jade Pure Vase giving off the light, and his heart rejoiced, saying, "What a fine treasure!那瓶子曾是那小妖拿在山上放光，老孫得了，不想那怪又復搜去。That vase — once a little demon carried it up the mountain giving off light, and old Monkey got hold of it, but never expected that fiend to search it back away again.今日藏在這裡，原來也放光。」你看他竊了這瓶子，喜喜歡歡，且不救師父，急抽身往洞外而走。Today it's hidden here, and it turns out it still gives off light." Watch him now, stealing away the vase, glad and delighted, and without stopping to save his master, he hurriedly turned and headed out of the cave.才出門，只見那妖魔提著寶劍，拿著扇子，從南而來。Just as he stepped out the door, he saw that demon, holding sword and fan, coming from the south.孫大聖迴避不及，被那老魔舉劍劈頭就砍。The Great Sage could not dodge in time, and the Old Demon raised his sword and hacked straight at his head;大聖急縱觔斗雲跳將起去，無影無蹤的逃了不題。the Great Sage quickly somersaulted up on his cloud and fled without trace or shadow — but no more of that for now.

那大圣打绝了小妖，撞入洞里，要解师父。又见那内面有火光焰焰，諕得他手慌脚忙道：「罢了，罢了，这火从后门口烧起来，老孙却难救师父也。」正悚惧处，仔细看时，呀！原来不是火光，却是一道金光。他正了性，往里视之，乃羊脂玉净瓶放光，却自心中欢喜道：「好宝贝耶！那瓶子曾是那小妖拿在山上放光，老孙得了，不想那怪又复搜去。今日藏在这里，原来也放光。」你看他窃了这瓶子，喜喜欢欢，且不救师父，急抽身往洞外而走。才出门，只见那妖魔提著宝剑，拿著扇子，从南而来。孙大圣回避不及，被那老魔举剑劈头就砍。大圣急纵觔斗云跳将起去，无影无踪的逃了不题。

卻說那怪到得門口，但見屍橫滿地，就是他手下的群精。Now to speak of that demon, who reached the gate and saw corpses strewn all over the ground, all of them his own goblin followers.慌得仰天長嘆，止不住放聲大哭道：「苦哉！In his fright he looked up to heaven with a long sigh, and could not help but weep aloud, "Bitter!痛哉！」有詩為證。Painful!" There is a poem as proof.詩曰：The poem says:

却说那怪到得门口，但见尸横满地，就是他手下的群精。慌得仰天长叹，止不住放声大哭道：「苦哉！痛哉！」有诗为证。诗曰：

那老魔慚惶不已，一步一聲，哭入洞內。That Old Demon, ashamed and distressed beyond measure, wailed with every step as he wept his way back into the cave.只見那什物傢火俱在，只落得靜悄悄，沒個人形，悲切切，愈加悽慘。He saw all the household goods and utensils still there, but it was left silent and desolate, with not a single person's shape to be seen, and the more sorrowful and bleak it felt, the more miserable he grew.獨自個坐在洞中，蹋伏在那石案之上，將寶劍斜倚案邊，把扇子插於肩後，昏昏默默睡著了，這正是：人逢喜事精神爽，悶上心來瞌睡多。Alone, he sat in the cave, slumping over the stone table, leaning the precious sword against the edge of the table, tucking the fan behind his shoulder, and drowsily, dazedly, fell asleep — this is just as the saying goes: when a man meets a joyful event his spirits are fresh; when gloom weighs on his heart, drowsiness comes easily.

那老魔惭惶不已，一步一声，哭入洞内。只见那什物家火俱在，只落得静悄悄，没个人形，悲切切，愈加凄惨。独自个坐在洞中，蹋伏在那石案之上，将宝剑斜倚案边，把扇子插于肩后，昏昏默默睡著了，这正是：人逢喜事精神爽，闷上心来瞌睡多。

話說孫大聖撥轉觔斗雲，佇立山前，想著要救師父，把那淨瓶兒牢扣腰間，徑來洞口打探。Now to speak of the Great Sage Sun, who turned his cloud around and stood before the mountain, thinking of how to save his master; he fastened the Pure Vase securely at his waist, and headed straight to the cave mouth to scout things out.見那門開兩扇，靜悄悄的不聞消耗。He saw the two leaves of the gate standing open, silent and still, with no sound to be heard.隨即輕輕移步，潛入裡邊。He at once moved forward lightly, step by step, and slipped in quietly.只見那魔斜倚石案，呼呼睡著。There he saw the demon leaning aslant against the stone table, snoring loudly asleep.芭蕉扇褪出肩衣，半蓋著腦後；The plantain fan had slipped out from his shoulder clothing, half covering the back of his head;七星劍還斜倚案邊。the Seven-Star Sword still leaned aslant by the table.卻被他輕輕的走上前拔了扇子，急回頭，呼的一聲，跑將出去。Wukong crept quietly forward and pulled out the fan, then quickly turned and, with a whoosh, ran back out.原來這扇柄兒刮著那怪的頭髮，早驚醒他。It so happened that the fan's handle scraped against the demon's hair, and this at once woke him.擡頭看時，是孫行者偷了，急慌忙執劍來趕。He raised his head to look, and saw it was Sun Xingzhe who had stolen it, and in a panic seized his sword and gave chase.那大聖早已跳出門前，將扇子撒在腰間，雙手掄開鐵棒，與那魔抵敵。The Great Sage had already leapt out the gate, tucked the fan into his waistband, and with both hands swung wide his iron rod to meet that demon in battle.這一場好殺：This was quite a fight:

话说孙大圣拨转觔斗云，伫立山前，想著要救师父，把那净瓶儿牢扣腰间，径来洞口打探。见那门开两扇，静悄悄的不闻消耗。随即轻轻移步，潜入里边。只见那魔斜倚石案，呼呼睡著。芭蕉扇褪出肩衣，半盖著脑后；七星剑还斜倚案边。却被他轻轻的走上前拔了扇子，急回头，呼的一声，跑将出去。原来这扇柄儿刮著那怪的头发，早惊醒他。抬头看时，是孙行者偷了，急慌忙执剑来赶。那大圣早已跳出门前，将扇子撒在腰间，双手抡开铁棒，与那魔抵敌。这一场好杀：

那老魔與大聖戰經三四十合，天將晚矣，抵敵不住，敗下陣來；That Old Demon and the Great Sage fought through thirty or forty rounds; as evening drew near, unable to hold out any longer, he was beaten back and fled the field;徑往西南上，投奔壓龍洞去不題。heading straight southwest, he made for Yalong Cave to seek refuge — but no more of that for now.

那老魔与大圣战经三四十合，天将晚矣，抵敌不住，败下阵来；径往西南上，投奔压龙洞去不题。

這大聖才按落雲頭，闖入蓮花洞裡，解下唐僧與八戒、沙和尚來。The Great Sage then brought his cloud down, rushed into the Lotus Cave, and untied Tang Seng, Bajie, and Sha Monk.他三人脫得災危，謝了行者，卻問：「妖魔那裡去了？」行者道：「二魔已裝在葫蘆裡，想是這會子已化了。The three of them, freed from their peril, thanked Wukong, then asked, "Where has the demon gone?" Wukong said, "The Second Demon is already packed inside the gourd, and by now must surely have melted.大魔才然一陣戰敗，往西南壓龍山去訖。The Great Demon, just now beaten in battle, has fled to Yalong Mountain in the southwest.概洞小妖，被老孫分身法打死一半；As for the demons of the whole cave, old Monkey's body-dividing technique killed off half of them;還有些敗殘回的，又被老孫殺絕。and the remaining routed survivors who came back, old Monkey wiped out entirely as well.方才得入此處，解放你們。」唐僧謝之不盡道：「徒弟啊，多虧你受了勞苦。」行者笑道：「誠然勞苦。Only then was I able to get in here and set you all free." Tripitaka thanked him without end, saying, "Disciple, ah, how much toil and hardship you've suffered for my sake." Wukong laughed and said, "Truly it was hard toil.你們還只是吊著受疼，我老孫再不曾住腳，比急遞鋪的鋪兵還甚，反復裡外，奔波無已。You were all just hanging there suffering pain, while old Monkey never once stopped to rest, running back and forth worse than a relay-station courier, back and forth, inside and outside, racing about without end.因是偷了他的寶貝，方能平退妖魔。」豬八戒道：「師兄，你把那葫蘆兒拿出來與我們看看。It was only because I stole his treasures that I was able to beat back the demons." Zhu Bajie said, "Elder brother, take out that gourd and let us have a look.只怕那二魔已化了也。」大聖先將淨瓶解下，又將金繩與扇子取出，然後把葫蘆兒拿在手道：「莫看，莫看。"I'm only afraid that the Second Demon King has already transformed himself." The Great Sage first untied the Water-Purifying Vase from his waist, then took out the golden rope and the fan, and finally held the little gourd in his hand, saying, "Don't look, don't look.他先曾裝了老孫，被老孫漱口，哄得他揭開蓋子，老孫方得走了。He once disguised himself as old Sun before, and old Sun rinsed his mouth with water, tricking him into opening the lid, so that old Sun was able to get away.我等切莫揭蓋，只怕他也會弄喧走了。」師徒們喜喜歡歡，將他那洞中的米麵菜蔬尋出，燒刷了鍋灶，安排些素齋吃了。We must on no account lift the lid, for fear he too might play some trick and escape." Master and disciples, joyful and delighted, sought out the rice, flour, and vegetables in the cave, scoured out the stove and pots, and prepared a vegetarian meal to eat.飽餐一頓，安寢洞中，一夜無詞，早又天曉。Having eaten their fill, they went to sleep in the cave, and the night passed without incident; soon it was dawn again.

这大圣才按落云头，闯入莲花洞里，解下唐僧与八戒、沙和尚来。他三人脱得灾危，谢了行者，却问：「妖魔那里去了？」行者道：「二魔已装在葫芦里，想是这会子已化了。大魔才然一阵战败，往西南压龙山去讫。概洞小妖，被老孙分身法打死一半；还有些败残回的，又被老孙杀绝。方才得入此处，解放你们。」唐僧谢之不尽道：「徒弟啊，多亏你受了劳苦。」行者笑道：「诚然劳苦。你们还只是吊著受疼，我老孙再不曾住脚，比急递铺的铺兵还甚，反复里外，奔波无已。因是偷了他的宝贝，方能平退妖魔。」猪八戒道：「师兄，你把那葫芦儿拿出来与我们看看。只怕那二魔已化了也。」大圣先将净瓶解下，又将金绳与扇子取出，然后把葫芦儿拿在手道：「莫看，莫看。他先曾装了老孙，被老孙漱口，哄得他揭开盖子，老孙方得走了。我等切莫揭盖，只怕他也会弄喧走了。」师徒们喜喜欢欢，将他那洞中的米面菜蔬寻出，烧刷了锅灶，安排些素斋吃了。饱餐一顿，安寝洞中，一夜无词，早又天晓。

卻說那老魔徑投壓龍山，會聚了大小女怪，備言打殺母親，裝了兄弟，絕滅妖兵，偷騙寶貝之事。Now to speak of the old demon king: he went straight to Yalong Mountain, gathered together the female demons great and small, and told them in full how his mother had been beaten to death, how his younger brother had been disguised and impersonated, how the demon soldiers had been utterly wiped out, and how the treasures had been stolen by trickery.眾女怪一齊大哭，哀痛多時道：「你等且休悽慘。All the female demons wailed together, grieving bitterly for a long while, until he said, "You need not be so sorrowful.我身邊還有這口七星劍，欲會汝等女兵，都去壓龍山後，會借外家親戚，斷要拿住那孫行者報仇。」說不了，有門外小妖報道：「大王，山後老舅爺帥領若干兵卒來也。」老魔聞言，急換了縞素孝服，躬身迎接。I still have this Seven-Star Sword at my side; I mean to gather you female soldiers, and we shall all go behind Yalong Mountain to call upon our relatives on my mother's side, and we are absolutely determined to capture that Sun Wukong and avenge ourselves." Before he had finished speaking, a little demon outside the gate reported, "Great King, the old maternal uncle from behind the mountain has led a number of troops here." Hearing this, the old demon quickly changed into plain mourning clothes and bowed to receive him.原來那老舅爺是他母親之弟，名喚狐阿七大王。It turned out that this old maternal uncle was the younger brother of his mother, named the Great King Hu A-qi, the Fox.因聞得哨山的妖兵報道，他姐姐被孫行者打死，假變姐形，盜了外甥寶貝，連日在平頂山拒敵，他即帥本洞妖兵二百餘名，特來助陣，故此先攏姐家問信。Having heard the demon soldiers on watch-mountain report that his elder sister had been beaten to death by Sun Wukong, who had falsely transformed himself into her shape and stolen his nephew's treasures, and who for several days had been resisting the enemy at Pingding Mountain, he at once led over two hundred demon soldiers of his own cave, coming specially to aid in battle, and for this reason had first gone to his sister's home to ask for news.才進門，見老魔掛了孝服，二人大哭。No sooner had he entered the gate than he saw the old demon wearing mourning clothes, and the two of them wept loudly together.哭久，老魔拜下，備言前事。After weeping for a long while, the old demon bowed down and related the whole affair in detail.那阿七大怒，即命老魔換了孝服，提了寶劍，盡點女妖，合同一處，縱風雲，徑投東北而來。That A-qi flew into a great rage, and at once ordered the old demon to change into mourning armor and take up his sword; he mustered all the female demons, joined them into a single force, rode the wind and clouds, and headed straight for the northeast.

却说那老魔径投压龙山，会聚了大小女怪，备言打杀母亲，装了兄弟，绝灭妖兵，偷骗宝贝之事。众女怪一齐大哭，哀痛多时道：「你等且休凄惨。我身边还有这口七星剑，欲会汝等女兵，都去压龙山后，会借外家亲戚，断要拿住那孙行者报仇。」说不了，有门外小妖报道：「大王，山后老舅爷帅领若干兵卒来也。」老魔闻言，急换了缟素孝服，躬身迎接。原来那老舅爷是他母亲之弟，名唤狐阿七大王。因闻得哨山的妖兵报道，他姐姐被孙行者打死，假变姐形，盗了外甥宝贝，连日在平顶山拒敌，他即帅本洞妖兵二百余名，特来助阵，故此先拢姐家问信。才进门，见老魔挂了孝服，二人大哭。哭久，老魔拜下，备言前事。那阿七大怒，即命老魔换了孝服，提了宝剑，尽点女妖，合同一处，纵风云，径投东北而来。

這大聖卻教沙僧整頓早齋，吃了走路。Meanwhile the Great Sage had Sha Monk prepare the morning meal, so that they might eat and be on their way.忽聽得風聲，走出門看，乃是一夥妖兵，自西南上來。Suddenly he heard the sound of wind, went out the door to look, and saw it was a band of demon soldiers coming from the southwest.行者大驚，急抽身，忙呼八戒道：「兄弟，妖精又請救兵來也。」三藏聞言，驚恐失色道：「徒弟，似此如何？」行者笑道：「放心，放心。Pilgrim was greatly alarmed; he quickly turned and hastily called out to Eight Rules, "Brother, the demon has sent for reinforcements again." When Tripitaka heard this, he was so frightened his color changed, and said, "Disciple, what shall we do about this?" Pilgrim laughed and said, "Set your mind at ease, set your mind at ease.把他這寶貝都拿來與我。」大聖將葫蘆、淨瓶繫在腰間，金繩籠於袖內，芭蕉扇插在肩後，雙手掄著鐵棒。Give me all these treasures." The Great Sage tied the gourd and the Water-Purifying Vase at his waist, tucked the golden rope into his sleeve, stuck the plantain fan behind his shoulder, and gripped his iron cudgel with both hands.教沙僧保守師父，穩坐洞中。He told Sha Monk to guard the Master and sit tight in the cave.著八戒執釘鈀，同出洞外迎敵。He had Eight Rules take up his rake, and together they went out of the cave to meet the enemy.

这大圣却教沙僧整顿早斋，吃了走路。忽听得风声，走出门看，乃是一伙妖兵，自西南上来。行者大惊，急抽身，忙呼八戒道：「兄弟，妖精又请救兵来也。」三藏闻言，惊恐失色道：「徒弟，似此如何？」行者笑道：「放心，放心。把他这宝贝都拿来与我。」大圣将葫芦、净瓶系在腰间，金绳笼于袖内，芭蕉扇插在肩后，双手抡著铁棒。教沙僧保守师父，稳坐洞中。著八戒执钉钯，同出洞外迎敌。

那怪物擺開陣勢，只見當頭的是阿七大王。The demon host arrayed itself in battle formation, and at its head, he saw, was the Great King A-qi.他生的玉面長髯，鋼眉刀耳；He was jade-faced with a long beard, steel eyebrows and blade-like ears;頭戴金煉盔，身穿鎖子甲，手執方天戟。on his head he wore a gold-chained helmet, on his body he wore chain-mail armor, and in his hand he held a rectangular-bladed halberd.高聲罵道：「我把你個大膽的潑猴！He cursed loudly, "You bold, insolent monkey!怎敢這等欺人？How dare you bully people so?偷了寶貝，傷了眷族，殺了妖兵，又敢久占洞府。You stole our treasures, injured our kinfolk, killed our demon soldiers, and now you dare occupy our cave dwelling for so long.趕早兒一個個引頸受死，雪我姐家之仇。」行者罵道：「你這夥作死的毛團，不識你孫外公的手段。Best that each of you stretch out your necks and accept death at once, to avenge my sister's household." Pilgrim cursed back, "You bunch of hairy creatures courting death, you don't recognize your Grandfather Sun's skill.不要走，領吾一棒。」那怪物側身躲過，使方天戟劈面相迎。Don't run, take this blow of my cudgel." The demon dodged aside and thrust his rectangular halberd straight at his face in return.兩個在山頭上一來一往，戰經三四回合，那怪力軟。The two of them fought back and forth atop the mountain, and after three or four rounds of combat that demon's strength grew weak.敗陣回走。He was defeated and turned to flee.行者趕來，卻被老魔接住。Pilgrim chased after him, but was intercepted by the old demon king.又鬥了三合，只見那狐阿七復轉來攻。They fought another three rounds, when he saw that Hu A-qi, the Fox, had turned back to attack again.這壁廂八戒見了，急掣九齒鈀擋住。Seeing this from his side, Eight Rules quickly raised his nine-toothed rake to block him.一個抵一個，戰經多時，不分勝敗，那老魔喝了一聲，眾妖兵一齊圍上。One against one, they fought for a long time without either side winning, until the old demon gave a shout, and the demon soldiers all closed in together.

那怪物摆开阵势，只见当头的是阿七大王。他生的玉面长髯，钢眉刀耳；头戴金炼盔，身穿锁子甲，手执方天戟。高声骂道：「我把你个大胆的泼猴！怎敢这等欺人？偷了宝贝，伤了眷族，杀了妖兵，又敢久占洞府。赶早儿一个个引颈受死，雪我姐家之仇。」行者骂道：「你这伙作死的毛团，不识你孙外公的手段。不要走，领吾一棒。」那怪物侧身躲过，使方天戟劈面相迎。两个在山头上一来一往，战经三四回合，那怪力软。败阵回走。行者赶来，却被老魔接住。又斗了三合，只见那狐阿七复转来攻。这壁厢八戒见了，急掣九齿钯挡住。一个抵一个，战经多时，不分胜败，那老魔喝了一声，众妖兵一齐围上。

卻說那三藏坐在蓮花洞裡，聽得喊聲振地，便叫：「沙和尚，你出去看你師兄勝負如何？」沙僧果舉降妖杖出來，喝一聲，撞將出去，打退群妖。Meanwhile Tripitaka, sitting in the Lotus Flower Cave, heard shouts shaking the ground, and called out, "Sha Monk, go out and see how your elder brother's battle is faring." Sha Monk did indeed raise his demon-quelling staff and go out, and with a shout charged forth, driving back the swarm of demons.阿七見事勢不利，回頭就走；A-qi, seeing the situation was unfavorable, turned and fled;被八戒趕上，照背後一鈀，就築得九點鮮紅往外冒，可憐一靈真性赴前程。Eight Rules caught up with him and struck one blow of the rake square on his back, so that nine points of fresh blood spurted outward, and alas, his single true spirit went on to its next life.急拖來剝了衣服看處，原來也是個狐狸精。He hastily dragged him over and stripped off his clothes to look, and it turned out he too was a fox spirit.

却说那三藏坐在莲花洞里，听得喊声振地，便叫：「沙和尚，你出去看你师兄胜负如何？」沙僧果举降妖杖出来，喝一声，撞将出去，打退群妖。阿七见事势不利，回头就走；被八戒赶上，照背后一钯，就筑得九点鲜红往外冒，可怜一灵真性赴前程。急拖来剥了衣服看处，原来也是个狐狸精。

那老魔見傷了他老舅，丟了行者，提起寶劍，就劈八戒；When the old demon king saw his old uncle had been struck down, he abandoned Pilgrim, raised his precious sword, and slashed at Eight Rules;八戒使鈀架住。Eight Rules used his rake to block it.正賭鬥間，沙僧撞近前來，舉杖便打。Just as they were locked in combat, Sha Monk rushed up close and raised his staff to strike.那妖抵敵不住，縱風雲，往南逃走。That demon, unable to withstand them, rode the wind and clouds and fled south.八戒、沙僧緊緊趕來。Eight Rules and Sha Monk chased after him closely.大聖見了，急縱雲跳在空中，解下淨瓶，罩定老魔，叫聲：「金角大王。」那怪只道是自家敗殘的小妖呼叫，就回頭應了一聲。Seeing this, the Great Sage quickly rode his cloud and leaped into the air, untied the Water-Purifying Vase, and held it aimed at the old demon, calling out, "Golden Horn Great King!" The demon, thinking it was one of his own defeated little demons calling out, turned his head and answered.颼的裝將進去，被行者貼上「太上老君急急如律令奉敕」的帖子。With a whoosh he was sucked inside, and Pilgrim sealed it with the talisman reading "By Order of Lord Lao Zi, Let It Be Done at Once as the Law Decrees."只見那七星劍墜落塵埃，也歸了行者。Just then the Seven-Star Sword fell to the dust, and it too came into Pilgrim's possession.八戒迎著道：「哥哥，寶劍你得了，精怪何在？」行者笑道：「了了，已裝在我這瓶兒裡也。」沙僧聽說，與八戒十分歡喜。Eight Rules came up to meet him, saying, "Brother, you've got the sword — where is the demon now?" Pilgrim laughed, "All settled, all settled — he's already sealed inside this vase of mine." When Sha Monk heard this, he and Eight Rules were overjoyed.

那老魔见伤了他老舅，丢了行者，提起宝剑，就劈八戒；八戒使钯架住。正赌斗间，沙僧撞近前来，举杖便打。那妖抵敌不住，纵风云，往南逃走。八戒、沙僧紧紧赶来。大圣见了，急纵云跳在空中，解下净瓶，罩定老魔，叫声：「金角大王。」那怪只道是自家败残的小妖呼叫，就回头应了一声。飕的装将进去，被行者贴上「太上老君急急如律令奉敕」的帖子。只见那七星剑坠落尘埃，也归了行者。八戒迎著道：「哥哥，宝剑你得了，精怪何在？」行者笑道：「了了，已装在我这瓶儿里也。」沙僧听说，与八戒十分欢喜。

當時通掃淨諸邪，回至洞裡，與三藏報喜道：「山已淨，妖已無矣，請師父上馬走路。」三藏喜不自勝。At that time they swept the mountain clean of all evil, returned to the cave, and reported the good news to Tripitaka, saying, "The mountain is cleared, the demons are no more; please, Master, mount your horse and let us be on our way." Tripitaka was overjoyed beyond measure.師徒們吃了早齋，收拾了行李、馬匹，奔西找路。Master and disciples ate their morning meal, packed up the luggage and the horse, and pressed on westward in search of the road.

当时通扫净诸邪，回至洞里，与三藏报喜道：「山已净，妖已无矣，请师父上马走路。」三藏喜不自胜。师徒们吃了早斋，收拾了行李、马匹，奔西找路。

正行處，猛見路傍閃出一個瞽者，走上前，扯住三藏馬道：「和尚，那裡去？Just as they were traveling along, they suddenly saw a blind man step out from beside the road, come forward, and seize hold of Tripitaka's horse, saying, "Monk, where are you going?還我寶貝來。」八戒大驚道：「罷了，這是老妖來討寶貝了。」行者仔細觀看，原來是太上李老君，慌得近前施禮道：「老官兒，那裡去？」那老祖急昇玉局寶座，在九霄空裡佇立，叫：「孫行者，還我寶貝。」大聖起到空中道：「甚麼寶貝？」老君道：「葫蘆是我盛丹的，淨瓶是我盛水的，寶劍是我煉魔的，扇子是我搧火的，繩子是我一根勒袍的帶。Give me back my treasures." Eight Rules was greatly alarmed and said, "That's it, this is the old demon come to demand his treasures." Pilgrim looked closely, and it turned out to be Lord Lao Zi, the Great Supreme One; in a panic he stepped forward and made a bow, saying, "Old Sir, where are you off to?" The Patriarch quickly ascended his Jade Bureau throne and stood in the ninefold heavens, calling out, "Sun Wukong, give me back my treasures." The Great Sage rose into the air and said, "What treasures?" Lao Jun said, "The gourd is what I use to hold my elixir, the vase is what I use to hold water, the sword is what I use to subdue demons, the fan is what I use to fan fire, and the rope is a single cord I use to tie my robe.那兩個怪：一個是我看金爐的童子，一個是我看銀爐的童子。As for those two demons: one was my page who tends the golden brazier, and the other was my page who tends the silver brazier.只因他偷了我的寶貝，走下界來，正無覓處，卻是你今拿住，得了功績。」大聖道：「你這老官兒，著實無禮。Only because they stole my treasures and ran down into the mortal world, and I had no place to seek them, did it happen that you have now captured them and gained this achievement." The Great Sage said, "You, old sir, are truly discourteous.縱放家屬為邪，該問個鈐束不嚴的罪名。」老君道：「不干我事，不可錯怪了人。To let your household members loose to do evil — you ought to be charged with the crime of lax control and discipline." Lao Jun said, "This is none of my doing; you must not wrongly blame the innocent.此乃海上菩薩問我借了三次，送他在此，託化妖魔，試你師徒可有真心往西去也。」大聖聞言，心中作念道：「這菩薩也老大憊懶。This was the Bodhisattva of the Sea, who borrowed them from me three times, and sent them here disguised as demons to test whether you and your master truly have sincere hearts in going west." Hearing this, the Great Sage thought to himself, "This Bodhisattva is really far too meddlesome.當時解逃老孫，教保唐僧西去取經，我說路途艱澀難行，他曾許我到急難處，親來相救；Back when she released old Sun and had him escort Tang Priest west to fetch the scriptures, I said the road would be hard and difficult to travel, and she once promised that when I reached direst straits, she herself would come to my rescue;如今反使精邪掯害。yet now instead she sends demons and spirits to torment and harm us.語言不的，該他一世無夫。If her words don't hold true, she deserves to go a whole lifetime without a husband.若不是老官兒親來，我決不與他。If it weren't that you, old sir, had come in person, I would absolutely not have handed him over.既是你這等說，拿去罷。」Since you put it this way, then take them and go."

正行处，猛见路傍闪出一个瞽者，走上前，扯住三藏马道：「和尚，那里去？还我宝贝来。」八戒大惊道：「罢了，这是老妖来讨宝贝了。」行者仔细观看，原来是太上李老君，慌得近前施礼道：「老官儿，那里去？」那老祖急升玉局宝座，在九霄空里伫立，叫：「孙行者，还我宝贝。」大圣起到空中道：「甚么宝贝？」老君道：「葫芦是我盛丹的，净瓶是我盛水的，宝剑是我炼魔的，扇子是我扇火的，绳子是我一根勒袍的带。那两个怪：一个是我看金炉的童子，一个是我看银炉的童子。只因他偷了我的宝贝，走下界来，正无觅处，却是你今拿住，得了功绩。」大圣道：「你这老官儿，著实无礼。纵放家属为邪，该问个钤束不严的罪名。」老君道：「不干我事，不可错怪了人。此乃海上菩萨问我借了三次，送他在此，托化妖魔，试你师徒可有真心往西去也。」大圣闻言，心中作念道：「这菩萨也老大惫懒。当时解逃老孙，教保唐僧西去取经，我说路途艰涩难行，他曾许我到急难处，亲来相救；如今反使精邪掯害。语言不的，该他一世无夫。若不是老官儿亲来，我决不与他。既是你这等说，拿去罢。」

那老君收得五件寶貝，揭開葫蘆與淨瓶蓋口，倒出兩股仙氣。Lao Jun, having received the five treasures, lifted the lid of the gourd and the mouth of the vase, and poured out two wisps of immortal vapor.用手一指，仍化為金、銀二童子，相隨左右。He pointed with his hand, and they turned once more into the golden and silver pages, who followed at his left and right.只見那霞光萬道，咦！Then there was a myriad rays of rosy light — ah!

那老君收得五件宝贝，揭开葫芦与净瓶盖口，倒出两股仙气。用手一指，仍化为金、银二童子，相随左右。只见那霞光万道，咦！

畢竟不知此後又有甚事，孫大聖怎生保護唐僧，幾時得到西天，且聽下回分解。In the end, what happened afterward, and how the Great Sage Sun protected Tang Priest, and when they would reach the Western Heaven, is not yet known; listen to the explanation in the next chapter.
