第075回 Monkey Enters the Demon's Belly to Subdue Him

第075回Chapter 75

卻說孫大聖進於洞口，兩邊觀看。The story goes that the Great Sage Sun entered the mouth of the cave and looked about on both sides.只見：He saw only this:

却说孙大圣进于洞口，两边观看。只见：

不多時，行入二層門裡看時，呀！Before long, he walked in through the second gate and looked—ah!這裡卻比外面不同：清奇幽雅，秀麗寬平；This place was quite different from the outside: clear and rare, secluded and elegant, lovely and spacious and level;左右有瑤草仙花，前後有喬松翠竹。to left and right grew jasper grasses and immortal flowers, before and behind stood tall pines and kingfisher-green bamboo.又行七八里遠近，才到三層門。He walked another seven or eight li or so before he finally reached the third gate.閃著身，偷著眼看處，那上面高坐三個老妖，十分獰惡。Slipping his body aside and stealing a glance within, he saw three old demons seated high above, exceedingly fierce and hideous.中間的那個生得：The one in the middle was formed thus:

不多时，行入二层门里看时，呀！这里却比外面不同：清奇幽雅，秀丽宽平；左右有瑶草仙花，前后有乔松翠竹。又行七八里远近，才到三层门。闪著身，偷著眼看处，那上面高坐三个老妖，十分狞恶。中间的那个生得：

左手下那個生得：The one seated below on the left was formed thus:

左手下那个生得：

右手下那一個生得：The one seated below on the right was formed thus:

右手下那一个生得：

那兩下列著有百十大小頭目，一個個全裝披掛，介冑整齊，威風凜凜，殺氣騰騰。Ranged on the two sides stood a hundred or so chieftains great and small, every one of them fully armored and helmeted, neat and orderly, their might awesome and their killing air surging.

那两下列著有百十大小头目，一个个全装披挂，介胄整齐，威风凛凛，杀气腾腾。

行者見了，心中歡喜，一些兒不怕，大踏步徑直進門，把梆鈴卸下，朝上叫聲：「大王。」三個老魔笑呵呵問道：「小鑽風，你來了？」行者應聲道：「來了。」「你去巡山，打聽孫行者的下落何如？」行者道：「大王在上，我也不敢說起。」老魔道：「怎麼不敢說？」行者道：「我奉大王命，敲著梆鈴，正然走處，猛擡頭，只看見一個人，蹲在那裡磨杠子，還像個開路神，若站將起來，足有十數丈長短。When Pilgrim saw this, his heart rejoiced, and he was not the least bit afraid; striding boldly straight in through the gate, he took off his clapper and bell, and called out upward, "Great King." The three old demons laughed and asked, "Little Whirlwind, so you've come?" Pilgrim answered, "I've come." "You went to patrol the mountain—what did you learn of Sun Wukong's whereabouts?" Pilgrim said, "Great King above, I dare not even mention it." The old demon said, "Why dare you not speak of it?" Pilgrim said, "Obeying the Great King's order, I struck my clapper and bell and was walking along, when suddenly I raised my head and saw a person crouched there grinding a cudgel-bar, looking for all the world like a Road-Clearing God; were he to stand up, he would surely be ten-odd zhang in length.他就著那澗崖石上，抄一把水，磨一磨，口裡又念一聲，說他那杠子到此還不曾顯個神通，他要磨明，就來打大王。He dipped a handful of water from the rocks by the ravine cliff, ground the bar a while, and muttered something, saying that his cudgel-bar had not yet shown its divine power here, and that once he had ground it bright he would come and strike the Great King.我因此知他是孫行者，特來報知。」For this reason I knew he was Sun Wukong, and came specially to report it."

行者见了，心中欢喜，一些儿不怕，大踏步径直进门，把梆铃卸下，朝上叫声：「大王。」三个老魔笑呵呵问道：「小钻风，你来了？」行者应声道：「来了。」「你去巡山，打听孙行者的下落何如？」行者道：「大王在上，我也不敢说起。」老魔道：「怎么不敢说？」行者道：「我奉大王命，敲著梆铃，正然走处，猛抬头，只看见一个人，蹲在那里磨杠子，还像个开路神，若站将起来，足有十数丈长短。他就著那涧崖石上，抄一把水，磨一磨，口里又念一声，说他那杠子到此还不曾显个神通，他要磨明，就来打大王。我因此知他是孙行者，特来报知。」

那老魔聞此言，渾身是汗，諕得戰呵呵的道：「兄弟，我說莫惹唐僧。When the old demon heard these words, sweat broke out all over his body, and trembling with fright he said, "Brother, I said we should not provoke Tang Seng.他徒弟神通廣大，預先作了準備，磨棍打我們，卻怎生是好？」教：「小的們，把洞外大小俱叫進來，關了門，讓他過去罷。」那頭目中有知道的報：「大王，門外小妖已都散了。」老魔道：「怎麼都散了？His disciple's magic power is vast; he has made preparations beforehand, grinding his cudgel to strike us—what shall we do?" He ordered, "Little ones, call in all the small fry from outside the cave, great and small, shut the gates, and let him pass on by." Among the chieftains one who knew reported, "Great King, the little demons outside the gate have already all scattered." The old demon said, "How have they all scattered?想是聞得風聲不好也。I suppose they have heard that the wind is ill.快早關門，快早關門。」眾妖乒乓把前後門盡皆牢拴緊閉。Quick, shut the gates! Quick, shut the gates!" The assembled demons clanged and banged, bolting the front and back gates fast shut.

那老魔闻此言，浑身是汗，諕得战呵呵的道：「兄弟，我说莫惹唐僧。他徒弟神通广大，预先作了准备，磨棍打我们，却怎生是好？」教：「小的们，把洞外大小俱叫进来，关了门，让他过去罢。」那头目中有知道的报：「大王，门外小妖已都散了。」老魔道：「怎么都散了？想是闻得风声不好也。快早关门，快早关门。」众妖乒乓把前后门尽皆牢拴紧闭。

行者自心驚道：「這一關了門，他再問我家長裡短的事，我對不來，卻不弄走了風，被他拿住？Pilgrim, alarmed at heart, thought: "Now that the gates are shut, if he questions me further about household details and I cannot answer, will that not give the game away and get me caught?且再諕他一諕，教他開著門，好跑。」又上前道：「大王，他還說得不好。」老魔道：「他又說甚麼？」行者道：「他說拿大大王剝皮，二大王剮骨，三大王抽筋。Let me frighten him once more, so as to make him keep the gates open, and give myself a way to run." So he stepped forward again and said, "Great King, he said something else, not good at all." The old demon said, "What else did he say?" Pilgrim said, "He said he would flay the First Great King, scrape the bones of the Second Great King, and draw out the sinews of the Third Great King.你們若關了門，不出去啊，他會變化，一時變了個蒼蠅兒，自門縫裡飛進，把我們都拿出去，卻怎生是好？」老魔道：「兄弟們仔細。If you shut the gates and do not go out, he can transform himself; in an instant he might turn into a fly and slip in through a crack in the door, and carry us all off—what would we do then?" The old demon said, "Brothers, be on your guard.我這洞裡，遞年家沒個蒼蠅，但是有蒼蠅進來，就是孫行者。」行者暗笑道：「就變個蒼蠅諕他一諕，好開門。」大聖閃在傍邊，伸手去腦後拔了一根毫毛，吹一口仙氣，叫：「變！」即變做一個金蒼蠅，飛去望老魔劈臉撞了一頭。In this cave of mine, year after year there has never been a single fly; if ever a fly comes in, it is bound to be Sun Wukong." Pilgrim laughed inwardly: "I'll just turn into a fly and give him one more scare, so as to get the door opened." The Great Sage slipped aside, reached behind his head, plucked out a hair, blew a breath of immortal breath on it, and cried, "Change!" It at once changed into a golden fly, which flew straight at the old demon's face and bumped him full on.那老怪慌了道：「兄弟，不停當，那話兒進門來了。」驚得那大小群妖，一個個丫鈀掃帚，都上前亂撲蒼蠅。The old demon, flustered, said, "Brother, this is no good—that thing has come in through the door." Startled, the demons great and small, every one of them, snatched up rakes and brooms and rushed forward to swat at the fly.

行者自心惊道：「这一关了门，他再问我家长里短的事，我对不来，却不弄走了风，被他拿住？且再諕他一諕，教他开著门，好跑。」又上前道：「大王，他还说得不好。」老魔道：「他又说甚么？」行者道：「他说拿大大王剥皮，二大王剐骨，三大王抽筋。你们若关了门，不出去啊，他会变化，一时变了个苍蝇儿，自门缝里飞进，把我们都拿出去，却怎生是好？」老魔道：「兄弟们仔细。我这洞里，递年家没个苍蝇，但是有苍蝇进来，就是孙行者。」行者暗笑道：「就变个苍蝇諕他一諕，好开门。」大圣闪在傍边，伸手去脑后拔了一根毫毛，吹一口仙气，叫：「变！」即变做一个金苍蝇，飞去望老魔劈脸撞了一头。那老怪慌了道：「兄弟，不停当，那话儿进门来了。」惊得那大小群妖，一个个丫钯扫帚，都上前乱扑苍蝇。

這大聖忍不住，赥赥的笑出聲來。The Great Sage could not help himself, and let out a snickering laugh.乾淨他不宜笑，這一笑笑出原嘴臉來了。It would have been better indeed had he not laughed—this one laugh revealed his true face.卻被那第三個老妖魔跳上前，一把扯住道：「哥哥，險些兒被他瞞了。」老魔道：「賢弟，誰瞞誰？」三怪道：「剛才這個回話的小妖不是小鑽風，他就是孫行者。But the third old demon leaped forward, seized hold of him, and said, "Elder Brother, we nearly let him deceive us." The old demon said, "Worthy brother, who is deceiving whom?" The third demon said, "This little demon who just answered was not Little Whirlwind—he is Sun Wukong.必定撞見小鑽風，不知是他怎麼打殺了，卻變化來哄我們哩。」行者慌了道：「他認得我了。」即把手摸摸，對老怪道：「我怎麼是孫行者？He must have run into Little Whirlwind and somehow beaten him to death, I know not how, and then transformed himself to fool us." Pilgrim, alarmed, thought, "He has recognized me." He quickly felt his own face with his hand, and said to the old demon, "How could I be Sun Wukong?我是小鑽風，大王錯認了。」老魔笑道：「兄弟，他是小鑽風。I am Little Whirlwind—the Great King has mistaken me." The old demon laughed and said, "Brother, he really is Little Whirlwind.他一日三次在面前點卯，我認得他。」又問：「你有牌兒麼？」行者道：「有。」擄著衣服，就拿出牌子。He answers roll call before me three times a day; I know him well." Then he asked, "Have you your token?" Pilgrim said, "I have," and, lifting his garment, produced the token.老怪一發認實道：「兄弟，莫屈了他。」三怪道：「哥哥，你不曾看見他？The old demon, now fully convinced, said, "Brother, do not wrong him." The third demon said, "Elder Brother, did you not see it yourself?他才子閃著身笑了一聲，我見他就露出個雷公嘴來。Just now he turned aside and gave one laugh, and I saw a thunder-god's beak show plainly on his face.見我扯住時，他又變作個這等模樣。」叫：「小的們，拿繩來。」眾頭目即取繩索。When he saw me seize him, he changed back into this shape." He called out, "Little ones, bring rope!" The chieftains at once fetched cords.

这大圣忍不住，赥赥的笑出声来。干净他不宜笑，这一笑笑出原嘴脸来了。却被那第三个老妖魔跳上前，一把扯住道：「哥哥，险些儿被他瞒了。」老魔道：「贤弟，谁瞒谁？」三怪道：「刚才这个回话的小妖不是小钻风，他就是孙行者。必定撞见小钻风，不知是他怎么打杀了，却变化来哄我们哩。」行者慌了道：「他认得我了。」即把手摸摸，对老怪道：「我怎么是孙行者？我是小钻风，大王错认了。」老魔笑道：「兄弟，他是小钻风。他一日三次在面前点卯，我认得他。」又问：「你有牌儿么？」行者道：「有。」掳著衣服，就拿出牌子。老怪一发认实道：「兄弟，莫屈了他。」三怪道：「哥哥，你不曾看见他？他才子闪著身笑了一声，我见他就露出个雷公嘴来。见我扯住时，他又变作个这等模样。」叫：「小的们，拿绳来。」众头目即取绳索。

三怪把行者扳翻倒，四馬攢蹄綑住。The third demon flipped Pilgrim over and bound him trussed up like a horse, hand and foot together.揭起衣裳看時，足足是個弼馬溫。When they lifted his garment to look, sure enough it was the body of the Bimawen, the Protector of the Horses.原來行者有七十二般變化，若是變飛禽、走獸、花木、器皿、昆蟲之類，卻就連身子滾去了；Now, Pilgrim had seventy-two transformations; when he changed into birds, beasts, flowers and trees, vessels, or insects and the like, his whole body would go along with the change;但變人物，卻只是頭臉變了，身子變不過來。but when he changed into a human figure, only his head and face changed, while his body could not be transformed.果然一身黃毛，兩塊紅股，一條尾巴。And indeed there he was, a body of yellow fur, two patches of red haunches, and a tail.老妖看著道：「是孫行者的身子，小鑽風的臉皮。The old demon looked and said, "It is Sun Wukong's body with Little Whirlwind's face.是他了。」教：「小的們，先安排酒來，與你三大王遞個得功之杯。It is he, sure enough." He ordered, "Little ones, first set out the wine, and pour the Third Great King a cup in honor of his achievement.既拿倒了孫行者，唐僧坐定是我們口裡食也。」三怪道：「且不要吃酒。Now that Sun Wukong is caught, Tang Seng is certainly food in our mouths." The third demon said, "Let us not drink wine yet.孫行者溜撒，他會逃遁之法，只怕走了。Sun Wukong is slippery, and he knows the art of escape; I fear he may get away.教小的們擡出瓶來，把孫行者裝在瓶裡，我們才好吃酒。」Have the little ones carry out the vase, and put Sun Wukong inside the vase—only then will it be safe for us to drink."

三怪把行者扳翻倒，四马攒蹄捆住。揭起衣裳看时，足足是个弼马温。原来行者有七十二般变化，若是变飞禽、走兽、花木、器皿、昆虫之类，却就连身子滚去了；但变人物，却只是头脸变了，身子变不过来。果然一身黄毛，两块红股，一条尾巴。老妖看著道：「是孙行者的身子，小钻风的脸皮。是他了。」教：「小的们，先安排酒来，与你三大王递个得功之杯。既拿倒了孙行者，唐僧坐定是我们口里食也。」三怪道：「且不要吃酒。孙行者溜撒，他会逃遁之法，只怕走了。教小的们抬出瓶来，把孙行者装在瓶里，我们才好吃酒。」

老魔大笑道：「正是，正是。」即點三十六個小妖，入裡面開了庫房門，擡出瓶來。The old demon laughed heartily and said, "Just so, just so." He at once picked thirty-six little demons, who went inside, opened the storeroom door, and carried out the vase.你說那瓶有多大？You ask how large that vase was?只得二尺四寸高。It stood a mere two chi four cun tall.怎麼用得三十六個人擡？How then could it take thirty-six men to carry it?那瓶乃陰陽二氣之寶，內有七寶八卦、二十四氣，要三十六人，按天罡之數，才擡得動。That vase was a treasure of the two vital breaths, yin and yang; inside it held the Seven Treasures and the Eight Trigrams and the Twenty-Four Vital Breaths, and it required thirty-six men, matching the number of the Heavenly Ladle stars, before it could be lifted at all.不一時，將寶瓶擡出，放在三層門外，展得乾淨，揭開蓋。In a moment the treasure vase was carried out and set outside the third gate, wiped perfectly clean, and its lid lifted off.把行者解了繩索，剝了衣服，就著那瓶中仙氣，颼的一聲，吸入裡面，將蓋子蓋上，貼了封皮。They untied Pilgrim's ropes, stripped off his clothes, and then, drawing on the immortal vapor within the vase, with a whooshing sound sucked him inside; the lid was put back on and sealed with paper strips.卻去吃酒道：「猴兒今番入我寶瓶之中，再莫想那西方之路。Then they went back to drink their wine, saying, "Now that the monkey has this time entered our treasure vase, he need never again dream of the road to the West.若還能夠拜佛求經，除是轉背搖車，再去投胎奪舍是。」你看那大小群妖，一個個笑呵呵，都去賀功不題。Even if he could somehow manage to worship the Buddha and fetch the scriptures, it would only be by turning his back and rocking in a cradle—that is, by being reborn and seizing another's body." And there you may see the demons great and small, every one laughing gleefully, going off to celebrate the achievement—no more of that for now.

老魔大笑道：「正是，正是。」即点三十六个小妖，入里面开了库房门，抬出瓶来。你说那瓶有多大？只得二尺四寸高。怎么用得三十六个人抬？那瓶乃阴阳二气之宝，内有七宝八卦、二十四气，要三十六人，按天罡之数，才抬得动。不一时，将宝瓶抬出，放在三层门外，展得干净，揭开盖。把行者解了绳索，剥了衣服，就著那瓶中仙气，飕的一声，吸入里面，将盖子盖上，贴了封皮。却去吃酒道：「猴儿今番入我宝瓶之中，再莫想那西方之路。若还能够拜佛求经，除是转背摇车，再去投胎夺舍是。」你看那大小群妖，一个个笑呵呵，都去贺功不题。

卻說大聖到了瓶中，被那寶貝將身束得小了，索性變化，蹲在當中。The story turns to the Great Sage, who upon reaching inside the vase found his body bound small by the treasure, and so, giving up any thought of transforming, simply crouched in the very middle.半晌，那邊蔭涼，忽失聲笑道：「這妖精外有虛名，內無實事。After a good while, feeling the shade cool there, he suddenly laughed aloud and said, "This demon has an empty reputation abroad but no substance within.怎麼告訴人說這瓶裝了人，一時三刻，化為膿血？How could he tell people that this vase, once it holds a person, would in an hour or two turn him to pus and blood?若似這般涼快，就住上七八年也無事。」咦！If it stays as cool and pleasant as this, I could live here seven or eight years and be perfectly fine." Ah!大聖原來不知那寶貝根由：假若裝了人，一年不語，一年蔭涼；The Great Sage did not in fact know the true nature of that treasure: if it held a person who kept silent, for a whole year it would stay cool and shaded;但聞得人言，就有火來燒了。but the moment it heard a person speak, fire would come to burn him.大聖未曾說完，只見滿瓶都是火焰。Before the Great Sage had even finished speaking, the whole vase was suddenly filled with flame.幸得他有本事，坐在中間，捻著避火訣，全然不懼。Fortunately he had his skills; sitting in the center, he pinched a fire-avoiding spell and felt not the least fear.耐到半個時辰，四週圍鑽出四十條蛇來咬。He endured for half an hour, when from all around forty snakes burrowed out to bite him.行者掄開手，抓將過來，盡力氣一揝，揝做八十段。Pilgrim swung his hands, seized them as they came, and squeezed with all his strength, crushing them into eighty pieces.少時間，又有三條火龍出來，把行者上下盤遶，著實難禁。Shortly after, three fire-dragons also came out and coiled about him from top to bottom, and this was truly hard to bear.自覺慌張無措道：「別事好處，這三條火龍難為。He felt himself flustered and at a loss, saying, "Other things I could manage, but these three fire-dragons are hard to deal with.再過一會不出，弄得火氣攻心，怎了？」他想道：「我把身子長一長，券破罷。」好大聖，捻著訣，念聲咒，叫：「長！」即長了丈數高下。If I don't get out before much longer, the fire's heat will attack my heart—what then?" He thought, "Let me stretch my body longer, and burst the thing open." And indeed, the fine Great Sage pinched a spell, recited a charm, and cried, "Grow!" and at once he grew to a height of several zhang.那瓶緊靠著身，也就長起去。But the vase clung tight against his body, and grew right along with him.他把身子往下一小，那瓶兒也就小下來了。He then shrank his body small again, and the vase at once shrank small along with him.行者心驚道：「難難難。Pilgrim, alarmed at heart, said, "Hard, hard, hard!怎麼我長他也長，我小他也小？Why is it that when I grow, it grows too, and when I shrink, it shrinks too?如之奈何？」說不了，孤拐上有些疼痛。What am I to do?" Before he had finished speaking, he felt a pain in his ankle-bones.急伸手摸摸，卻被火燒軟了。He hurriedly reached down to feel it, and found it had been burned soft by the fire.自己心焦道：「怎麼好？His own heart grew anxious, and he said, "What can be done?孤拐燒軟了，弄做個殘疾之人了。」忍不住吊下淚來。My ankle-bones are burned soft—I shall become a cripple." He could not help but let the tears fall.這正是：Truly it was as the verse says:

却说大圣到了瓶中，被那宝贝将身束得小了，索性变化，蹲在当中。半晌，那边荫凉，忽失声笑道：「这妖精外有虚名，内无实事。怎么告诉人说这瓶装了人，一时三刻，化为脓血？若似这般凉快，就住上七八年也无事。」咦！大圣原来不知那宝贝根由：假若装了人，一年不语，一年荫凉；但闻得人言，就有火来烧了。大圣未曾说完，只见满瓶都是火焰。幸得他有本事，坐在中间，捻著避火诀，全然不惧。耐到半个时辰，四周围钻出四十条蛇来咬。行者抡开手，抓将过来，尽力气一揝，揝做八十段。少时间，又有三条火龙出来，把行者上下盘绕，著实难禁。自觉慌张无措道：「别事好处，这三条火龙难为。再过一会不出，弄得火气攻心，怎了？」他想道：「我把身子长一长，券破罢。」好大圣，捻著诀，念声咒，叫：「长！」即长了丈数高下。那瓶紧靠著身，也就长起去。他把身子往下一小，那瓶儿也就小下来了。行者心惊道：「难难难。怎么我长他也长，我小他也小？如之奈何？」说不了，孤拐上有些疼痛。急伸手摸摸，却被火烧软了。自己心焦道：「怎么好？孤拐烧软了，弄做个残疾之人了。」忍不住吊下泪来。这正是：

道：「師父啊！He said, "Master, oh Master!當年皈正，蒙觀音菩薩勸善，脫離天災。In the year I turned to the true path, thanks to Bodhisattva Guanyin's exhortation to virtue, I escaped a Heaven-sent calamity.我與你苦歷諸山，收殄多怪，降八戒，得沙僧，千辛萬苦，指望同證西方，共成正果。With you I have toiled through countless mountains, wiping out many a demon, subduing Bajie, and gaining Sha Seng—through a thousand hardships and ten thousand trials, hoping together to attain the West and jointly achieve the right fruit.何期今日遭此毒魔，老孫誤入於此，傾了性命，撇你在半山之中，不能前進。How could I have known that today I would meet this vicious demon, that old Sun would blunder in here, lose his very life, and leave you stranded midway up the mountain, unable to go forward?想是我昔日名高，故有今朝之難。」I suppose it is because my name once stood too high, and so today's calamity has come upon me."

道：「师父啊！当年皈正，蒙观音菩萨劝善，脱离天灾。我与你苦历诸山，收殄多怪，降八戒，得沙僧，千辛万苦，指望同证西方，共成正果。何期今日遭此毒魔，老孙误入于此，倾了性命，撇你在半山之中，不能前进。想是我昔日名高，故有今朝之难。」

正此悽愴，忽想起：「菩薩當年在蛇盤山曾賜我三根救命毫毛，不知有無，且等我尋一尋看。」即伸手渾身摸了一把，只見腦後有三根毫毛，十分挺硬。Just as he was sunk in this sorrow, he suddenly recalled: "The Bodhisattva once at Snake-Coil Mountain bestowed on me three life-saving hairs—I know not whether they are still there; let me search and see." He reached at once and felt all over his body, and found behind his head three hairs, exceedingly stiff and hard.忽喜道：「身上毛都如彼軟熟，只此三根如此硬槍，必然是救我命的。」即便咬著牙，忍著疼，拔下毛，吹口仙氣，叫：「變！」一根即變作金鋼鑽，一根變作竹片，一根變作綿繩。Delighted, he said, "All the hair on my body is as soft and pliant as that, yet only these three are as hard as spear-shafts—they must surely be the ones meant to save my life." He at once gritted his teeth, bore the pain, plucked out the hairs, blew a breath of immortal breath on them, and cried, "Change!" One at once changed into a diamond drill, one changed into a strip of bamboo, and one changed into a silken cord.扳張篾片弓兒，牽著那鑽，照瓶底下颼颼的一頓鑽，鑽成一個眼孔，透進光亮。He bent the bamboo strip into a bow, fitted the drill, and aimed it at the bottom of the vase, drilling swiftly again and again until he had bored a hole clear through, letting in a shaft of light.喜道：「造化，造化，卻好出去也。」才變化出身，那瓶復蔭涼了。Delighted, he said, "What luck, what luck—now I can get out." No sooner had he changed his body forth than the vase turned cool and shaded once more.怎麼就涼？Why did it suddenly turn cool?原來被他鑽了，把陰陽之氣泄了，故此遂涼。It was because, once he had drilled through it, the yin and yang vapor had leaked out, and so it turned cool at once.

正此凄怆，忽想起：「菩萨当年在蛇盘山曾赐我三根救命毫毛，不知有无，且等我寻一寻看。」即伸手浑身摸了一把，只见脑后有三根毫毛，十分挺硬。忽喜道：「身上毛都如彼软熟，只此三根如此硬枪，必然是救我命的。」即便咬著牙，忍著疼，拔下毛，吹口仙气，叫：「变！」一根即变作金钢钻，一根变作竹片，一根变作绵绳。扳张篾片弓儿，牵著那钻，照瓶底下飕飕的一顿钻，钻成一个眼孔，透进光亮。喜道：「造化，造化，却好出去也。」才变化出身，那瓶复荫凉了。怎么就凉？原来被他钻了，把阴阳之气泄了，故此遂凉。

好大聖，收了毫毛，將身一小，就變做個蟭蟟蟲兒，十分輕巧，細如鬚髮，長似眉毛，自孔中鑽出且還不走，徑飛在老魔頭上釘著。The fine Great Sage put away his hairs, shrank his body small, and turned himself into a tiny gnat, exceedingly light and nimble, fine as a strand of hair, no longer than an eyebrow-hair; he slipped out through the hole, but did not yet fly off—instead he flew straight to the old demon's head and clung there.那老魔正飲酒，猛然放下杯兒道：「三弟，孫行者這回化了麼？」三魔笑道：「還到此時哩？」老魔教傳令擡上瓶來。The old demon was just then drinking wine when he suddenly set down his cup and said, "Third Brother, has Sun Wukong turned to liquid by now?" The third demon laughed and said, "Is it even time yet?" The old demon ordered that the vase be brought up.那下面三十六個小妖即便擡瓶，瓶就輕了許多。The thirty-six little demons below at once went to lift the vase, and found it had grown much lighter.慌得眾小妖報道：「大王，瓶輕了。」老魔喝道：「胡說，寶貝乃陰陽二氣之全功，如何輕了？」內中有一個勉強的小妖，把瓶提上來道：「你看這不輕了？」老魔揭蓋看時，只見裡面透亮，忍不住失聲叫道：「這瓶裡空者控也。」大聖在他頭上，也忍不住道一聲「我的兒啊，颼者走也。」眾怪聽見道：「走了，走了。」即傳令：「關門，關門。」In alarm the little demons reported, "Great King, the vase has grown light." The old demon roared, "Nonsense! The treasure is the full working of the two vital breaths, yin and yang—how could it grow light?" Among them one little demon, forcing himself, lifted the vase up and said, "Look, is this not light?" The old demon lifted the lid to look, and saw light shining clear through within; unable to help himself, he cried out, "This vase is empty—kong, empty!" The Great Sage, on his very head, likewise could not help but say aloud, "My child, sou—away I go!" The assembled demons heard this and said, "He's gotten away, he's gotten away!" and at once gave the order: "Shut the gates, shut the gates!"

好大圣，收了毫毛，将身一小，就变做个蟭蟟虫儿，十分轻巧，细如须发，长似眉毛，自孔中钻出且还不走，径飞在老魔头上钉著。那老魔正饮酒，猛然放下杯儿道：「三弟，孙行者这回化了么？」三魔笑道：「还到此时哩？」老魔教传令抬上瓶来。那下面三十六个小妖即便抬瓶，瓶就轻了许多。慌得众小妖报道：「大王，瓶轻了。」老魔喝道：「胡说，宝贝乃阴阳二气之全功，如何轻了？」内中有一个勉强的小妖，把瓶提上来道：「你看这不轻了？」老魔揭盖看时，只见里面透亮，忍不住失声叫道：「这瓶里空者控也。」大圣在他头上，也忍不住道一声「我的儿啊，飕者走也。」众怪听见道：「走了，走了。」即传令：「关门，关门。」

那行者將身一抖，收了剝去的衣服，現本相，跳出洞外，回頭罵道：「妖精不要無禮。Pilgrim gave his body a shake, took back the clothes that had been stripped from him, resumed his true form, and leapt out of the cave; turning his head back, he cursed, "Demons, mind your manners!瓶子鑽破，裝不得人了，只好拿來出恭。」喜喜歡歡，嚷嚷鬧鬧，踏著雲頭，徑轉唐僧處。The vase is drilled through now and can hold no one—it's fit only to be used as a chamber pot." Joyful and gleeful, clamoring and carrying on, he trod his cloud and headed straight back to where Tang Seng was.那長老正在那裡撮土為香，望空禱祝。The elder was just then heaping up earth in place of incense, gazing skyward and praying.行者且停雲頭，聽他禱祝甚的。Pilgrim halted his cloud for a moment to listen to what he was praying.那長老合掌朝天道：The elder, palms pressed together, faced heaven and said:

那行者将身一抖，收了剥去的衣服，现本相，跳出洞外，回头骂道：「妖精不要无礼。瓶子钻破，装不得人了，只好拿来出恭。」喜喜欢欢，嚷嚷闹闹，踏著云头，径转唐僧处。那长老正在那里撮土为香，望空祷祝。行者且停云头，听他祷祝甚的。那长老合掌朝天道：

大聖聽得這般言語，更加努力，收斂雲光，近前叫道：「師父，我來了。」長老攙住道：「悟空，勞碌。When the Great Sage heard these words, he strove all the harder, drew in his cloud-light, came forward, and called out, "Master, I have come!" The elder took hold of him and said, "Wukong, what toil you've had.你遠探高山，許久不回，我甚憂慮。You went far to探 the high mountain, and were gone so long without returning that I was deeply worried.端的這山中有何吉凶？」行者笑道：「師父，才這一去，一則是東土眾生有緣有分，二來是師父功德無量無邊，三也虧弟子法力。」將前項妝鑽風、陷瓶裡及脫身之事，細陳了一遍。「今得見尊師之面，實為兩世之人也。」長老感謝不盡道：「你這番不曾與妖精賭鬥麼？」行者道：「不曾。」長老道：「這等保不得我過山了？」行者是個好勝的人，叫喊道：「我怎麼保你過山不得？」長老道：「不曾與他見個勝負，只這般含糊，我怎敢前進。」大聖笑道：「師父，你也忒不通變。What is truly the good or ill fortune to be found in this mountain?" Pilgrim laughed and said, "Master, on this trip just now, first it was because the beings of the Eastern Land have good fortune and karmic affinity, second because Master's merit and virtue are boundless without limit, and third it was thanks to this disciple's magic power as well." He then related in full detail all that had happened before—posing as Little Whirlwind, being shut inside the vase, and escaping from it. "Now that I am able to see my honored master's face again, this is truly as if I owed you my life for two lifetimes." The elder, full of gratitude, said, "On this trip, did you never come to blows with the demon?" Pilgrim said, "No." The elder said, "Then how can you be sure of guarding me over the mountain?" Pilgrim, being a man who loved to win, cried out, "How could I not be able to guard you over the mountain?" The elder said, "You have not yet contended with him to see who wins or loses; to speak so vaguely, how dare I go forward?" The Great Sage laughed and said, "Master, you really do not understand how to adapt to circumstances.常言道：『單絲不線，孤掌難鳴。』那魔三個，小妖千萬，教老孫一人怎生與他賭鬥？」長老道：「寡不敵眾，是你一人也難處。As the saying goes, 'A single strand makes no thread; one palm alone claps no sound.' There are three of those demons, and little demons by the thousands and tens of thousands—how could old Sun alone contend with them?" The elder said, "The few cannot withstand the many—it is indeed hard for you alone.八戒、沙僧他也都有本事，教他們都去，與你協力同心，掃淨山路，保我過去罷。」行者沉吟道：「師言最當。Bajie and Sha Seng also have their own abilities; let them both go with you, to join hearts and strength with you, sweep the mountain road clean, and guard me across." Pilgrim, pondering, said, "Master's words are most fitting.著沙僧保護你，著八戒跟我去罷。」那獃子慌了道：「哥哥沒眼色。Let Sha Seng stay to guard you, and let Bajie come along with me." The idiot, flustered, said, "Elder Brother has no eye for judging people.我又粗夯，無甚本事，走路扛風，跟你何益？」行者道：「兄弟，你雖無甚本事，好道也是個人。I am clumsy and coarse, with no real skill at all; on the road I'm just so much wind-carrying baggage—what good would it do you to bring me along?" Pilgrim said, "Brother, though you have no great skill, you are at least a fair imitation of a man.俗云：『放屁添風。』你也可壯我些膽氣。」八戒道：「也罷，也罷，望你帶挈帶挈。As the common saying goes, 'Even a fart adds to the wind.' You can at least bolster my courage a bit." Bajie said, "Very well, very well, I hope you'll look out for me, brother.但只急溜處，莫捉弄我。」長老道：「八戒在意，我與沙僧在此。」Only, when things get truly urgent and pressing, don't play tricks on me." The elder said, "Bajie, mind yourself. Sha Seng and I will stay here."

大圣听得这般言语，更加努力，收敛云光，近前叫道：「师父，我来了。」长老搀住道：「悟空，劳碌。你远探高山，许久不回，我甚忧虑。端的这山中有何吉凶？」行者笑道：「师父，才这一去，一则是东土众生有缘有分，二来是师父功德无量无边，三也亏弟子法力。」将前项妆钻风、陷瓶里及脱身之事，细陈了一遍。「今得见尊师之面，实为两世之人也。」长老感谢不尽道：「你这番不曾与妖精赌斗么？」行者道：「不曾。」长老道：「这等保不得我过山了？」行者是个好胜的人，叫喊道：「我怎么保你过山不得？」长老道：「不曾与他见个胜负，只这般含糊，我怎敢前进。」大圣笑道：「师父，你也忒不通变。常言道：『单丝不线，孤掌难鸣。』那魔三个，小妖千万，教老孙一人怎生与他赌斗？」长老道：「寡不敌众，是你一人也难处。八戒、沙僧他也都有本事，教他们都去，与你协力同心，扫净山路，保我过去罢。」行者沉吟道：「师言最当。著沙僧保护你，著八戒跟我去罢。」那呆子慌了道：「哥哥没眼色。我又粗夯，无甚本事，走路扛风，跟你何益？」行者道：「兄弟，你虽无甚本事，好道也是个人。俗云：『放屁添风。』你也可壮我些胆气。」八戒道：「也罢，也罢，望你带挈带挈。但只急溜处，莫捉弄我。」长老道：「八戒在意，我与沙僧在此。」

那獃子抖擻神威，與行者縱著狂風，駕著雲霧，跳上高山，即至洞口。The idiot summoned up his fierce spirit, and together with Pilgrim rode the wild wind and mounted the clouds and mist, leaping up the high mountain, and soon reached the mouth of the cave.早見那洞門緊閉，四顧無人。They saw at once that the cave gate was shut fast, with no one in sight on any side.行者上前，執鐵棒，厲聲高叫道：「妖怪開門！Pilgrim stepped forward, gripped his iron rod, and called out in a stern loud voice, "Demons, open the gate!快出來與老孫打耶。」那洞裡小妖報入。Come out quickly and fight with old Sun!" The little demons inside the cave went in to report.老魔心驚膽戰道：「幾年都說猴兒狠，話不虛傳果是真。」二老怪在傍問道：「哥哥怎麼說？」老魔道：「那行者早間變小鑽風混進來，我等不能相識，幸三賢弟認得，把他裝在瓶裡，他弄本事，鑽破瓶兒，卻又攝去衣服走了。The old demon, his heart pounding and his gall quaking, said, "For years everyone has said the monkey is fierce, and the words were no idle rumor—it is truly so." The second old demon, standing by, asked, "Elder Brother, what are you saying?" The old demon said, "That Pilgrim earlier turned into Little Whirlwind and slipped in among us, and none of us could tell; luckily our worthy third brother recognized him, and we shut him inside the vase, but he used his skill to drill the vase through, and then snatched back his clothes and got away.如今在外叫戰，誰敢與他打個頭仗？」更無一人答應。Now he is outside calling for battle—who dares go out and fight the first bout with him?" Not a single one answered.又問，又無人答，都是那裝聾推啞。He asked again, and again no one answered; all of them feigned deafness and pretended to be mute.老魔發怒道：「我等在西方大路上忝著個醜名，今日孫行者這般藐視，若不出去與他見陣，也低了名頭。The old demon flew into a rage and said, "We hold, however unworthily, an ill name upon the great roads of the West, and today Sun Wukong shows us such contempt—if we do not go out and face him in battle, it will lower our reputation still further.等我捨了這老性命去與他戰上三合。Let me risk this old life of mine and go fight three bouts with him.三合戰得過，唐僧還是我們口裡食；If I can hold out through three bouts, then Tang Seng will still be food in our mouths;戰不過，那時關了門，讓他過去罷。」遂取披掛結束了，開門前走。if I cannot hold out, then we shall shut the gates at that time, and let him pass on by." So he took up his armor and bound it on, and opened the gate to go out.

那呆子抖擞神威，与行者纵著狂风，驾著云雾，跳上高山，即至洞口。早见那洞门紧闭，四顾无人。行者上前，执铁棒，厉声高叫道：「妖怪开门！快出来与老孙打耶。」那洞里小妖报入。老魔心惊胆战道：「几年都说猴儿狠，话不虚传果是真。」二老怪在傍问道：「哥哥怎么说？」老魔道：「那行者早间变小钻风混进来，我等不能相识，幸三贤弟认得，把他装在瓶里，他弄本事，钻破瓶儿，却又摄去衣服走了。如今在外叫战，谁敢与他打个头仗？」更无一人答应。又问，又无人答，都是那装聋推哑。老魔发怒道：「我等在西方大路上忝著个丑名，今日孙行者这般藐视，若不出去与他见阵，也低了名头。等我舍了这老性命去与他战上三合。三合战得过，唐僧还是我们口里食；战不过，那时关了门，让他过去罢。」遂取披挂结束了，开门前走。

行者與八戒在門傍觀看，真是好一個怪物：Pilgrim and Bajie, watching by the gate, saw truly what a fine monster he was:

行者与八戒在门傍观看，真是好一个怪物：

大聖轉身道：「是你孫老爺齊天大聖也。」老魔笑道：「你是孫行者？The Great Sage turned and said, "It is I, your Old Grandfather Sun, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven." The old demon laughed and said, "So you are Sun Wukong?大膽潑猴，我不惹你，你卻為何在此叫戰？」行者道：「『有風方起浪，無潮水自平。』你不惹我，我好尋你？Bold reckless ape, I have not provoked you—why then do you come here calling for battle?" Pilgrim said, "'Only when the wind rises do the waves start; when there is no tide, the water settles of itself.' Had you not provoked me, would I have troubled to seek you out?只因你狐群狗黨，結為一夥，算計吃我師父，所以來此施為。」老魔道：「你這等雄糾糾的嚷上我門，莫不是要打麼？」行者道：「正是。」老魔道：「你休猖獗。It is only because you, a pack of foxes and dogs banded together, plotted to eat my master, that I have come here to act." The old demon said, "You come blustering so fiercely to my very gate—can it be you mean to fight?" Pilgrim said, "Just so." The old demon said, "Do not be so overbearing.我若調出妖兵，擺開陣勢，搖旗擂鼓，與你交戰，顯得我是坐家虎，欺負你了。Were I to call out my demon troops, array them in battle formation, wave banners and beat drums, and give battle against you, it would show that I, sitting comfortably at home like a tiger in its den, was taking unfair advantage of you.我只與你一個對一個，不許幫丁。」行者聞言，叫：「豬八戒走過，看他把老孫怎的？」那獃子真個閃在一邊。I will fight you alone, one against one, with no one to help either side." When Pilgrim heard this, he called out, "Zhu Bajie, step aside and see what old Sun does to him!" And the idiot truly did slip off to one side.老魔道：「你過來，先與我做個樁兒，讓我盡力氣著光頭砍上三刀，就讓你唐僧過去；The old demon king said, "Come here, and first serve as my chopping stake — let me use all my strength to hack your bald head three times, and I'll let your Tang Priest pass;假若禁不得，快送你唐僧來，與我做一頓下飯。」行者聞言笑道：「妖怪，你洞裡若有紙筆，取出來，與你立個合同。but if you can't endure it, hand over your Tang Priest at once, to make me a meal to go with my rice." Hearing this, Pilgrim laughed and said, "Monster, if you've got paper and brush in your cave, bring them out and let's draw up a contract.自今日起，就砍到明年，我也不與你當真。」From today, even if you hack at me clear through to next year, I won't hold it against you."

大圣转身道：「是你孙老爷齐天大圣也。」老魔笑道：「你是孙行者？大胆泼猴，我不惹你，你却为何在此叫战？」行者道：「『有风方起浪，无潮水自平。』你不惹我，我好寻你？只因你狐群狗党，结为一伙，算计吃我师父，所以来此施为。」老魔道：「你这等雄纠纠的嚷上我门，莫不是要打么？」行者道：「正是。」老魔道：「你休猖獗。我若调出妖兵，摆开阵势，摇旗擂鼓，与你交战，显得我是坐家虎，欺负你了。我只与你一个对一个，不许帮丁。」行者闻言，叫：「猪八戒走过，看他把老孙怎的？」那呆子真个闪在一边。老魔道：「你过来，先与我做个桩儿，让我尽力气著光头砍上三刀，就让你唐僧过去；假若禁不得，快送你唐僧来，与我做一顿下饭。」行者闻言笑道：「妖怪，你洞里若有纸笔，取出来，与你立个合同。自今日起，就砍到明年，我也不与你当真。」

那老魔抖擻威風，丁字步站定，雙手舉刀，望大聖劈頂就砍。The old demon king summoned up his fierce spirit, planted his feet in a T-stance, raised his blade with both hands, and brought it down straight at the crown of the Great Sage's head.這大聖把頭往上一迎，只聞扢扠一聲響，頭皮兒紅也不紅。The Great Sage tilted his head up to meet it, and there was only a loud crack — his scalp didn't even turn red.那老魔大驚道：「這猴子好個硬頭兒！」大聖笑道：「你不知。The old demon king was greatly startled and said, "What a hard head this monkey has!" The Great Sage laughed and said, "You don't know.老孫是：Old Sun is:

那老魔抖擞威风，丁字步站定，双手举刀，望大圣劈顶就砍。这大圣把头往上一迎，只闻扢扠一声响，头皮儿红也不红。那老魔大惊道：「这猴子好个硬头儿！」大圣笑道：「你不知。老孙是：

老魔道：「猴兒不要說嘴，看我這二刀來，決不容你性命。」行者道：「左右也只這般砍罷了。」老魔道：「猴兒，你不知這刀：The old demon king said, "Monkey, don't talk big — take this second stroke of mine, and I'll show you no mercy this time." Pilgrim said, "One way or another, it'll only be more of the same hacking." The old demon king said, "Monkey, you don't know this blade of mine:

老魔道：「猴儿不要说嘴，看我这二刀来，决不容你性命。」行者道：「左右也只这般砍罢了。」老魔道：「猴儿，你不知这刀：

大聖笑道：「這妖精沒眼色，把老孫認做個瓢頭哩。The Great Sage laughed and said, "This monster has no eye for things — he's mistaken old Sun's head for a gourd ladle.也罷，誤砍誤讓，教你再砍一刀看怎麼。」Never mind, one mistaken stroke deserves another concession — let me let you take one more hack and see what happens."

大圣笑道：「这妖精没眼色，把老孙认做个瓢头哩。也罢，误砍误让，教你再砍一刀看怎么。」

那老魔舉刀又砍，大聖把頭迎一迎，乒乓的劈做兩半個。The old demon king raised his blade and hacked again; the Great Sage tilted his head to meet it, and with a crack it was split clean into two halves.大聖就地打個滾，變做兩個身子。The Great Sage rolled on the ground and turned into two bodies.那妖一見慌了，手按下鋼刀。At the sight of this the monster panicked, and his hand let the steel blade drop.豬八戒遠遠望見，笑道：「老魔好砍兩刀的，卻不是四個人了？」老魔指定行者道：「聞你能使分身法，怎麼把這法兒拿出在我面前使？」大聖道：「何為分身法？」老魔道：「為甚麼先砍你一刀不動，如今砍你一刀，就是兩個人？」大聖笑道：「妖怪，你切莫害怕。Zhu Bajie, watching from a distance, laughed and said, "If the old demon king likes hacking two strokes, won't that make four people?" The old demon king pointed at Pilgrim and said, "I've heard you can use the body-dividing technique — why bring that trick out in front of me?" The Great Sage said, "What is this body-dividing technique?" The old demon king said, "Why did the first stroke I hacked at you do nothing, and now this second stroke has made you into two people?" The Great Sage laughed and said, "Monster, don't you be afraid.砍上一萬刀，還你二萬個人。」老魔道：「你這猴兒，你只會分身，不會收身。Hack me ten thousand times, and I'll give you back twenty thousand people." The old demon king said, "You monkey, you only know how to divide your body, not how to gather it back together.你若有本事收做一個，打我一棍去罷。」大聖道：「不許說謊，你要砍三刀，只砍了我兩刀。If you have the skill to gather yourself into one again, then go ahead and strike me with a staff blow." The Great Sage said, "No lying now — you said you'd hack three strokes, but you've only hacked me twice.教我打一棍，若打了棍半，就不姓孫。」老魔道：「正是，正是。」Let me strike one blow — if I fall even half a blow short, I'm no longer surnamed Sun." The old demon king said, "Just so, just so."

那老魔举刀又砍，大圣把头迎一迎，乒乓的劈做两半个。大圣就地打个滚，变做两个身子。那妖一见慌了，手按下钢刀。猪八戒远远望见，笑道：「老魔好砍两刀的，却不是四个人了？」老魔指定行者道：「闻你能使分身法，怎么把这法儿拿出在我面前使？」大圣道：「何为分身法？」老魔道：「为甚么先砍你一刀不动，如今砍你一刀，就是两个人？」大圣笑道：「妖怪，你切莫害怕。砍上一万刀，还你二万个人。」老魔道：「你这猴儿，你只会分身，不会收身。你若有本事收做一个，打我一棍去罢。」大圣道：「不许说谎，你要砍三刀，只砍了我两刀。教我打一棍，若打了棍半，就不姓孙。」老魔道：「正是，正是。」

好大聖，就把身摟上來，打個滾，依然一個身子，掣棒劈頭就打。Splendid Great Sage — he gathered his two bodies back together, rolled over, and was once again a single body, then drew out his staff and struck straight at the head.那老魔舉刀架住道：「潑猴無禮，甚麼樣個哭喪棒，敢上門打人？」大聖喝道：「你若問我這條棍，天上地下都有名聲。」老魔道：「怎見名聲？」他道：The old demon king raised his blade to block it and said, "Insolent ape! What kind of mourner's staff is that, that you dare come to my very door to strike people?" The Great Sage shouted, "If you ask about this staff of mine, it has a name known throughout heaven and earth." The old demon king said, "How does its name show itself?" He said:

好大圣，就把身搂上来，打个滚，依然一个身子，掣棒劈头就打。那老魔举刀架住道：「泼猴无礼，甚么样个哭丧棒，敢上门打人？」大圣喝道：「你若问我这条棍，天上地下都有名声。」老魔道：「怎见名声？」他道：

那魔聞言，戰兢兢捨著性命，舉刀就砍；Hearing this, the monster trembled, but staking his life on it, raised his blade and hacked down;猴王笑吟吟使鐵棒前迎。the Monkey King, smiling broadly, met it with his iron staff.他兩個先時在洞前撐持，然後跳起去，都在半空裡廝殺。The two of them grappled first before the cave, then leaped up and fought each other in midair.這一場好殺：What a fine battle this was:

那魔闻言，战兢兢舍著性命，举刀就砍；猴王笑吟吟使铁棒前迎。他两个先时在洞前撑持，然后跳起去，都在半空里厮杀。这一场好杀：

那老魔與大聖鬥經二十餘合，不分輸贏。The old demon king and the Great Sage fought through more than twenty rounds without either side winning.

那老魔与大圣斗经二十余合，不分输赢。

原來八戒在底下見他兩個戰到好處，忍不住掣鈀架風，跳將起去，望妖魔劈臉就築。Now Bajie, watching from below as the two of them fought to a fine pitch, could not restrain himself; he drew his rake, rode the wind, leaped up, and struck straight at the monster's face.那魔慌了。The monster panicked.不知八戒是個虎頭性子，冒冒失失的諕人。Little did he know that Bajie had a tiger's rash temper, and was only recklessly trying to scare people.他只道嘴長耳大，手硬鈀兇，敗了陣，丟了刀，回頭就走。He supposed that with that long snout, big ears, hard hands, and fierce rake, he had lost the bout, so he dropped his blade and turned to flee.大聖喝道：「趕上，趕上。」這獃子仗著威風，舉著釘鈀，即忙趕下怪去。The Great Sage shouted, "After him, after him!" Riding on this show of force, the idiot raised his rake and hurried down in pursuit of the monster.老魔見他趕的相近，在坡前立定，迎著風頭，幌一幌現了原身，張開大口，就要來吞八戒。When the old demon king saw him closing in, he planted himself before the slope, faced into the wind, gave himself a shake, and revealed his true form, opening his great mouth wide to swallow Bajie.八戒害怕，急抽身往草裡一鑽，也管不得荊針棘刺，也顧不得刮破頭疼，戰兢兢的在草裡聽著梆聲。Bajie, terrified, quickly pulled back and dove into the grass, heedless of the brambles and thorns, and unconcerned about scratches or headaches, lying there trembling and listening for the sound of the wooden clapper.隨後行者趕到，那怪也張口來吞，卻中了他的機關，收了鐵棒，迎將上去，被老魔一口吞之。Pilgrim arrived close behind, and the monster opened its mouth to swallow him too — but this time it fell right into his scheme: he put away his iron staff and went forward to meet it, letting the old demon king swallow him whole in one gulp.諕得個獃子在草裡囊囊咄咄的埋怨道：「這個弼馬溫，不識進退。This so frightened the idiot in the grass that he muttered and grumbled to himself: "That Protector of the Horses doesn't know when to advance and when to retreat.那怪來吃你，你如何不走，反去迎他！When the monster came to eat you, why didn't you run — instead you went to meet him head-on!這一口吞在肚中，今日還是個和尚，明日就是個大恭也。」那魔得勝而去，這獃子才鑽出草來，溜回舊路。Once swallowed into that belly, today you're still a monk, but tomorrow you'll be nothing but dung." The monster went off triumphant, and only then did the idiot crawl out of the grass and slink back the way he had come.

原来八戒在底下见他两个战到好处，忍不住掣钯架风，跳将起去，望妖魔劈脸就筑。那魔慌了。不知八戒是个虎头性子，冒冒失失的諕人。他只道嘴长耳大，手硬钯凶，败了阵，丢了刀，回头就走。大圣喝道：「赶上，赶上。」这呆子仗著威风，举著钉钯，即忙赶下怪去。老魔见他赶的相近，在坡前立定，迎著风头，幌一幌现了原身，张开大口，就要来吞八戒。八戒害怕，急抽身往草里一钻，也管不得荆针棘刺，也顾不得刮破头疼，战兢兢的在草里听著梆声。随后行者赶到，那怪也张口来吞，却中了他的机关，收了铁棒，迎将上去，被老魔一口吞之。諕得个呆子在草里囊囊咄咄的埋怨道：「这个弼马温，不识进退。那怪来吃你，你如何不走，反去迎他！这一口吞在肚中，今日还是个和尚，明日就是个大恭也。」那魔得胜而去，这呆子才钻出草来，溜回旧路。

卻說三藏在那山坡下正與沙僧盼望，只見八戒喘呵呵的跑來。Now to tell of Sanzang, who was down at the foot of the mountain slope watching anxiously with Sha Monk, when he saw Bajie come running up, gasping for breath.三藏大驚道：「八戒，你怎麼這等狼狽？Sanzang was greatly alarmed and said, "Bajie, why are you in such a sorry state?悟空如何不見？」獃子哭哭啼啼道：「師兄被妖精一口吞下肚去了。」三藏聽言，諕倒在地，半晌間跌腳拳胸道：「徒弟呀，只說你善會降妖，領我西天見佛，怎知今日死於此怪之手。Why don't I see Wukong?" The idiot said, weeping, "Elder Brother was swallowed whole into the monster's belly." Hearing this, Sanzang was so shocked he collapsed to the ground, and after a long while, stamping his feet and beating his chest, he cried, "Disciple! You always said you were skilled at subduing demons, and would guide me west to see the Buddha — how was I to know you would die today at this monster's hands.苦哉，苦哉！How bitter, how bitter!我弟子同眾的功勞，如今都化作塵土矣。」那師父十分苦痛。All the merit my disciples and I built together has now turned to dust." The master grieved most bitterly.你看那獃子，他也不來勸解師父，卻叫：「沙和尚，你拿將行李來，我兩個分了罷。」沙僧道：「二哥，分怎的？」八戒道：「分開了，各人散火：你往流沙河，還去吃人；Just look at that idiot — instead of coming to console the master, he called out, "Sha Monk, bring the luggage over here, let the two of us divide it up." Sha Monk said, "Second Brother, divide it for what?" Bajie said, "Once divided, each of us goes his own way: you go back to the Flowing Sands River and eat people again;我往高老莊，看看我渾家。I'll go to Gao Old Village to see my wife.將白馬賣了，與師父買個壽器送終。」長老氣呼呼的聞得此言，叫皇天，放聲大哭。We'll sell the white horse and buy the master a coffin to see him off." Hearing this, the elder, seething with anger, cried out to Heaven and burst into loud weeping.且不題。But let us not dwell on that for now.

却说三藏在那山坡下正与沙僧盼望，只见八戒喘呵呵的跑来。三藏大惊道：「八戒，你怎么这等狼狈？悟空如何不见？」呆子哭哭啼啼道：「师兄被妖精一口吞下肚去了。」三藏听言，諕倒在地，半晌间跌脚拳胸道：「徒弟呀，只说你善会降妖，领我西天见佛，怎知今日死于此怪之手。苦哉，苦哉！我弟子同众的功劳，如今都化作尘土矣。」那师父十分苦痛。你看那呆子，他也不来劝解师父，却叫：「沙和尚，你拿将行李来，我两个分了罢。」沙僧道：「二哥，分怎的？」八戒道：「分开了，各人散火：你往流沙河，还去吃人；我往高老庄，看看我浑家。将白马卖了，与师父买个寿器送终。」长老气呼呼的闻得此言，叫皇天，放声大哭。且不题。

卻說那老魔吞了行者，以為得計，徑回本洞，眾妖迎問出戰之功。Now to tell of the old demon king, who, having swallowed Pilgrim and thinking he had scored a triumph, went straight back to his own cave, where the assembled demons came out to greet him and ask about his victory in battle.老魔道：「拿了一個來了。」二魔喜道：「哥哥拿的是誰？」老魔道：「是孫行者。」二魔道：「拿在何處？」老魔道：「被我一口吞在腹中哩。」第三個魔頭大驚道：「大哥啊，我就不曾吩咐你，孫行者不中吃。」那大聖在肚裡道：「忒中吃，又禁饑，再不得餓。」慌得那小妖道：「大王，不好了，孫行者在你肚裡說話哩。」老魔道：「怕他說話，有本事吃了他，沒本事擺佈他不成？The old demon king said, "I've caught one." The second demon king said happily, "Elder Brother, who did you catch?" The old demon king said, "Sun Wukong." The second demon king said, "Where did you catch him?" The old demon king said, "I swallowed him whole into my belly." The third demon chief was greatly startled and said, "Elder Brother, ah — didn't I warn you, Sun Wukong is no good to eat." The Great Sage spoke up from inside the belly, "Plenty good to eat — and it staves off hunger too, I'll never go hungry again." This so alarmed the little demons that they said, "Great King, this is bad — Sun Wukong is talking inside your belly!" The old demon king said, "Am I afraid of his talking? Having had the skill to eat him, do you suppose I lack the skill to deal with him?你們快去燒些鹽白湯，等我灌下肚去，把他噦出來，慢慢的煎了吃酒。」小妖真個沖了半盆鹽湯。Go quickly and boil up some salt broth for me — let me pour it down my belly and make him retch it up, then I'll fry him up slowly to go with my wine." The little demons indeed mixed up half a basin of salt broth.老怪一飲而乾，洼著口，著實一嘔；The old demon drank it down in one gulp, then, mouth gaping wide, retched with all his might;那大聖在肚裡生了根，動也不動。but the Great Sage had taken root inside his belly and did not budge in the slightest.卻又攔著喉嚨，往外又吐，吐得頭暈眼花，黃膽都破了；So he blocked off his own throat and tried to vomit again, retching until his head spun and his eyes blurred, and even his gallbladder nearly burst;行者越發不動。but Pilgrim only sat tighter than ever.老魔喘息了，叫聲：「孫行者，你不出來？」行者道：「早哩，正好不出來哩！」老魔道：「你怎麼不出？」行者道：「你這妖精甚不通變。Panting for breath, the old demon king called out, "Sun Wukong, won't you come out?" Pilgrim said, "Too soon — this is exactly the wrong time to come out!" The old demon king said, "Why won't you come out?" Pilgrim said, "You monster, you're quite lacking in flexibility.我自做和尚，十分淡薄，如今秋涼，我還穿個單直裰。Ever since I became a monk, I've lived a very meager life, and now that autumn is turning cool, I'm still wearing only a single unlined robe.這肚裡倒暖，又不透風，等我住過冬才好出來。」This belly of yours is warm, and no wind gets in — let me stay through the winter here before I come out."

却说那老魔吞了行者，以为得计，径回本洞，众妖迎问出战之功。老魔道：「拿了一个来了。」二魔喜道：「哥哥拿的是谁？」老魔道：「是孙行者。」二魔道：「拿在何处？」老魔道：「被我一口吞在腹中哩。」第三个魔头大惊道：「大哥啊，我就不曾吩咐你，孙行者不中吃。」那大圣在肚里道：「忒中吃，又禁饥，再不得饿。」慌得那小妖道：「大王，不好了，孙行者在你肚里说话哩。」老魔道：「怕他说话，有本事吃了他，没本事摆布他不成？你们快去烧些盐白汤，等我灌下肚去，把他哕出来，慢慢的煎了吃酒。」小妖真个冲了半盆盐汤。老怪一饮而干，洼著口，著实一呕；那大圣在肚里生了根，动也不动。却又拦著喉咙，往外又吐，吐得头晕眼花，黄胆都破了；行者越发不动。老魔喘息了，叫声：「孙行者，你不出来？」行者道：「早哩，正好不出来哩！」老魔道：「你怎么不出？」行者道：「你这妖精甚不通变。我自做和尚，十分淡薄，如今秋凉，我还穿个单直裰。这肚里倒暖，又不透风，等我住过冬才好出来。」

眾妖聽說，都道：「大王，孫行者要在你肚裡過冬哩。」老魔道：「他要過冬，我就打起禪來，使個搬運法，一冬不吃飯，就餓殺那弼馬溫。」大聖道：「我兒子，你不知事。Hearing this, the assembled demons all said, "Great King, Sun Wukong means to spend the winter in your belly." The old demon king said, "If he wants to winter there, then I'll sit myself in meditation and use a transporting technique, eating nothing all winter, and starve that Protector of the Horses to death." The Great Sage said, "My child, you don't understand these things.老孫保唐僧取經，從廣裡過，帶了個摺疊鍋兒，進來煮雜碎吃。Old Sun, escorting Tang Priest to fetch the scriptures, passed through Guangdong, and brought along a folding pot — I'll set it up in here and boil up your innards for a meal.將你這裡邊的肝、腸、肚、肺，細細兒受用，還夠盤纏到清明哩。」那二魔大驚道：「哥啊，這猴子他幹得出來。」三魔道：「哥啊，吃了雜碎也罷，不知在那裡支鍋？」行者道：「三叉骨上好支鍋。」三魔道：「不好了，假若支起鍋，燒動火煙，煼到鼻孔裡，打嚏噴麼？」行者笑道：「沒事，等老孫把金箍棒往頂門裡一搠，搠個窟窿：一則當天窗，二來當煙洞。」I'll savor your liver, intestines, stomach, and lungs bit by bit, at leisure — that alone should keep me fed clear through to Qingming." The second demon king was greatly alarmed and said, "Elder Brother, this monkey is capable of actually doing it." The third demon said, "Elder Brother, eating the innards is one thing, but where would he even set up a pot?" Pilgrim said, "The forked bone up top makes a fine place to set a pot." The third demon said, "That's bad — if he sets up a pot there and lights a fire, won't the smoke choke up into your nostrils and make you sneeze?" Pilgrim laughed and said, "No trouble at all — old Sun will just take his gold-banded staff and jab it up through the crown of your head, poking a hole: one to serve as a skylight, the other as a chimney flue."

众妖听说，都道：「大王，孙行者要在你肚里过冬哩。」老魔道：「他要过冬，我就打起禅来，使个搬运法，一冬不吃饭，就饿杀那弼马温。」大圣道：「我儿子，你不知事。老孙保唐僧取经，从广里过，带了个折叠锅儿，进来煮杂碎吃。将你这里边的肝、肠、肚、肺，细细儿受用，还够盘缠到清明哩。」那二魔大惊道：「哥啊，这猴子他干得出来。」三魔道：「哥啊，吃了杂碎也罢，不知在那里支锅？」行者道：「三叉骨上好支锅。」三魔道：「不好了，假若支起锅，烧动火烟，煼到鼻孔里，打嚏喷么？」行者笑道：「没事，等老孙把金箍棒往顶门里一搠，搠个窟窿：一则当天窗，二来当烟洞。」

老魔聽說，雖說不怕，卻也心驚，只得硬著膽叫：「兄弟們，莫怕。Hearing this, the old demon king, though he claimed not to be afraid, was inwardly shaken, and could only steel his nerve and call out, "Brothers, don't be afraid.把我那藥酒拿來，等我吃幾鍾下去，把猴兒藥殺了罷。」行者暗笑道：「老孫五百年前大鬧天宮時，吃老君丹、玉皇酒、王母桃及鳳髓龍肝，那樣東西我不曾吃過？Bring me that drugged wine — let me drink a few cups down and poison that monkey to death." Pilgrim laughed inwardly and said, "Five hundred years ago, when old Sun wreaked havoc in Heaven, I ate Laojun's elixirs, the Jade Emperor's wine, the Queen Mother's peaches, phoenix marrow and dragon liver — what haven't I eaten?是甚麼藥酒，敢來藥我？」那小妖真個將藥酒篩了兩壺，滿滿斟了一鍾，遞與老魔。What sort of drugged wine could possibly poison me?" The little demons indeed strained out two pots of the drugged wine, poured a cup full to the brim, and handed it to the old demon king.老魔接在手中，大聖在肚裡就聞得酒香，道：「不要與他吃。」好大聖，把頭一扭，變做個喇叭口子，張在他喉嚨之下。The old demon king took it in hand, and the Great Sage, inside his belly, caught the scent of the wine at once and said, "Don't let him drink it." Splendid Great Sage — he twisted his head around and turned it into a trumpet-shaped mouth, opening it wide right below the demon's throat.那怪嘓的嚥下，被行者嘓的接吃了。The moment the monster gulped it down with a glug, Pilgrim caught it with a glug and drank it up.第二鍾嚥下，被行者嘓的又接吃了。The second cup swallowed down was likewise caught and drunk up by Pilgrim with a glug.一連吃了七八鍾，都是他接吃了。Cup after cup, seven or eight in a row, were all caught and drunk by him.老魔放下鍾道：「不吃了。The old demon king set down his cup and said, "I'll drink no more.這酒常時吃兩鍾，腹中如火；Ordinarily two cups of this wine set my belly ablaze;卻才吃了七八鍾，臉上紅也不紅！」but I've just drunk seven or eight cups, and my face hasn't even turned red!"

老魔听说，虽说不怕，却也心惊，只得硬著胆叫：「兄弟们，莫怕。把我那药酒拿来，等我吃几钟下去，把猴儿药杀了罢。」行者暗笑道：「老孙五百年前大闹天宫时，吃老君丹、玉皇酒、王母桃及凤髓龙肝，那样东西我不曾吃过？是甚么药酒，敢来药我？」那小妖真个将药酒筛了两壶，满满斟了一钟，递与老魔。老魔接在手中，大圣在肚里就闻得酒香，道：「不要与他吃。」好大圣，把头一扭，变做个喇叭口子，张在他喉咙之下。那怪啯的咽下，被行者啯的接吃了。第二钟咽下，被行者啯的又接吃了。一连吃了七八钟，都是他接吃了。老魔放下钟道：「不吃了。这酒常时吃两钟，腹中如火；却才吃了七八钟，脸上红也不红！」

原來這大聖吃不多酒，接了他七八鍾吃了，在肚裡撒起酒風來：不住的支架子、跌四平、踢飛腳、抓住肝花打鞦韆、豎蜻蜓、翻根頭、亂舞。The truth was that the Great Sage could not hold much wine, and having caught and drunk those seven or eight cups, he began to act drunk inside the belly — ceaselessly striking poses, tumbling flat on all fours, kicking up flying kicks, grabbing hold of the liver to swing on like a swing, standing on his head like a dragonfly, turning somersaults, and dancing about wildly.那怪物疼痛難禁，倒在地下。The monster, unable to bear the pain, collapsed to the ground.

原来这大圣吃不多酒，接了他七八钟吃了，在肚里撒起酒风来：不住的支架子、跌四平、踢飞脚、抓住肝花打秋千、竖蜻蜓、翻根头、乱舞。那怪物疼痛难禁，倒在地下。
