Xingzhe took his leave of the Bodhisattva, brought his cloud down, hung the cassock on the sandalwood tree, drew out his cudgel, and struck his way into the Black Wind Cave — but there was not a single little demon left inside.It turned out that when they had seen the Bodhisattva appear and the old monster rolled about on the ground overcome, they had all scattered and fled in haste.Xingzhe grew all the more violent: he piled dry firewood at every one of the gates, layer upon layer, and set it ablaze from front to back all at once, turning the Black Wind Cave into a Red Wind Cave. Then he took up the cassock, rode his auspicious light, and turned straight back north.

行者辞了菩萨,按落云头,将袈裟挂在香柟树上,掣出棒来,打入黑风洞里,那洞里那得一个小妖。原来是他见菩萨出现,降得那老怪就地打滚,急急都散走了。行者一发行凶,将他那几层门上都积了干柴,前前后后,一齐发火,把个黑风洞烧做个红风洞,却拿了袈裟,驾祥光,转回直北。

Now, Sanzang, watching for Xingzhe who had not returned though the time was long past, grew quite suspicious in his heart: he did not know whether the request to the Bodhisattva had failed, or whether Xingzhe had made some excuse and run off.:「。」Just as he was lost in wild guesses and random thoughts, he suddenly saw brilliant colored mists in the middle of the sky, and Xingzhe dropped down before the steps and knelt, saying, "Master, the cassock has come back." Sanzang was overjoyed.:「。」:「?」The monks too were all delighted, saying, "Good, good! Our lives are whole again from this day on." Sanzang took the cassock and said, "Wukong, when you left this morning, you agreed you would be back by the time the noon meal was done — how is it you return only now, with the sun in the west?" Xingzhe related in full the whole affair of inviting the Bodhisattva, working transformations, and subduing the demon.:「。」:「When Sanzang heard this, he set up an incense table, bowed in worship toward the south, and then said, "Disciple, now that we have the Buddha's robe back, let us pack our bundles quickly and be off." Xingzhe said, "No hurry, no hurry.。」:「It is nearly evening today, not a time for travel — let us wait until tomorrow morning to set out." The monks all knelt down together and said, "Elder Sun speaks well.。」:「。」First, it is late in the day; second, we have some vows we made, and now that all is safely settled and the treasure recovered, let us fulfill our vows, invite you gentlemen to share in the blessing feast, and see you off west again early tomorrow." Xingzhe said, "Just so, just so." And you should have seen those monks empty out their purses to the very bottom, each contributing what remained of the goods snatched from the fire, preparing a vegetarian feast, burning paper offerings for peace and safety, and chanting several scrolls of scripture to dispel calamity and undo misfortune.That evening's affairs were thus concluded.

师徒们行了五七日荒路,忽一日天色将晚,远远的望见一村人家。三藏道:「悟空,你看那壁厢有座山庄相近,我们去告宿一宵,明日再行何如?」行者道:「且等老孙去看看吉凶,再作区处。」那师父挽住丝缰,这行者定睛观看,真个是:

:「。」When Xingzhe had finished looking, he said, "Master, please go on. It is surely a village of good people, and just the place to lodge for the night." The elder urged the white horse on, and soon they reached the mouth of the village street.There he also saw a young man, his head wrapped in cotton cloth, wearing a blue jacket, carrying an umbrella and a pack on his back, his trousers tucked up and bound, his feet in a pair of three-eared straw sandals, striding out of the street in great haste, full of vigor.:「Xingzhe reached out and caught hold of him, saying, "Where are you going??」:「?」:「。『。』Let me ask you something: what place is this?" The man, straining hard to break free, shouted, "There's no one at home on my manor — am I the only one fit to be asked for directions?" Xingzhe said with a smile, "Don't be angry, benefactor. 'Give others convenience, and you give yourself convenience.' What harm is there in telling me the name of this place?。」:「I might even be able to relieve your troubles." The man, unable to break free, jumped about in fury and said, "What rotten luck, what rotten luck.。」:「。」I can't even bear the wrongful anger from my own household, and now I run into this bald-headed fellow, who makes me suffer his ill temper besides." Xingzhe said, "If you have the skill, pry my hand open, and then you may go." The man twisted this way and that, but however he twisted he could not break free — it was as though an iron clamp held him fast.Furious, he dropped his bundle and threw down his umbrella, and both hands came at Xingzhe like a shower of rain, trying to claw him.Xingzhe held the luggage steady with one hand and fended the man off with the other, and however the man struggled, he simply could not lay a hand on him.Xingzhe held on all the tighter, until the man was so exasperated he crackled and roared like thunder.:「Sanzang said, "Wukong, is there not someone else coming over there?Ask him instead — why must you keep holding on to this one?。」:「。」:「Let him go." Xingzhe laughed and said, "Master, you don't understand. If we ask someone else it's no fun — it's only by asking this fellow that there's any business to be had." The man, held fast by Xingzhe and unable to break free, had no choice but to speak, saying, "This place lies within the borders of the kingdom of Wusizang, and is called Gao Old Manor.More than half the households in this village bear the surname Gao, and that is why it is called Gao Old Manor.。」:「Now let me go." Xingzhe said further, "Dressed as you are, you're not one out for a short errand nearby.。」Tell me truly where you're headed and just what business you're on, and then I'll let you go."

行者看罢道:「师父请行,定是一村好人家,正可借宿。」那长老催动白马,早到街衢之口。又见一个少年,头裹绵布,身穿蓝袄,持伞背包,敛裈札裤,脚踏著一双三耳草鞋,雄纠纠的,出街忙走。行者顺手一把扯住道:「那里去?我问你一个信儿:此间是甚么地方?」那个人只管苦挣,口里嚷道:「我庄上没人,只是我好问信?」行者陪著笑道:「施主莫恼。『与人方便,自己方便。』你就与我说说地名何害?我也可解得你的烦恼。」那人挣不脱手,气得乱跳道:「蹭蹬,蹭蹬。家长的屈气受不了,又撞著这个光头,受他的清气。」行者道:「你有本事,劈开我的手,你便就去了也罢。」那人左扭右扭,那里扭得动,却似一把铁钤拑住一般。气得他丢了包袱,撇了伞,两只手雨点似来抓行者。行者把一只手扶著行李,一只手抵住那人,凭他怎么支吾,只是不能抓著。行者愈加不放,急得爆燥如雷。三藏道:「悟空,那里不有人来了?你再问那人就是,只管扯住他怎的?放他去罢。」行者笑道:「师父不知,若是问了别人没趣,须是问他,才有买卖。」那人被行者扯住不放,只得说出道:「此处乃是乌斯藏国界之地,唤做高老庄。一庄人家有大半姓高,故此唤做高老庄。你放了我去罢。」行者又道:「你这样行装,不是个走近路的。你实与我说,你要往那里去,端的所干何事,我才放你。」

:「The man, having no other choice, told him the truth: "I am a servant of Squire Gao, and my name is Gao Cai.My master has a youngest daughter, just twenty years of age, who has never yet been given in marriage.Three years ago she was taken by a monster, and that monster has served as son-in-law in our house for these three years now.:『。』My master is displeased about it, saying, 'Having a monster as a son-in-law is no proper arrangement: first, it ruins the family's good name; second, there's no in-law family to exchange visits with.' He has long wanted to send the monster packing.But the monster will not be sent away — instead he has shut the daughter up in the rear apartments, and for nearly half a year now has not let her out to see anyone in the household.My master gave me a few taels of silver and told me to seek out a master of the Law to catch the monster.I have not rested these past days — one after another, I have engaged some three or four men, but they were all useless monks and incompetent Daoists, none able to subdue that monster.Just now my master scolded me soundly, saying I could not manage the task.He gave me another five mace of silver for travel expenses and told me to go again and find a good master of the Law to subdue him.I never expected to run into you, you plague of a star, holding me up and making me late on my errand — that's why I'm suffering aggravation both inside and out, and had no choice but to shout at you.I didn't expect you'd have some skill besides — I couldn't get free of you, and so I've told you the plain truth.。」:「Now let me go on my way." Xingzhe said, "This is your good fortune — I happen to be in this very trade, and this is just the sort of match made in heaven.You need not travel any farther, nor spend any more silver.We are none of your useless monks or incompetent Daoists — in truth we have some real skill, and are well practiced at catching monsters.:『。』。」:「This is exactly the case of 'first, it does the physician a favor, and second, it cures the eyes as well.' Trouble yourself to go back and report to your master that we are the imperial brother-monks sent by decree from the Land of the East, bound for the Western Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek the scriptures, and that we are well able to subdue demons and bind monsters." Gao Cai said, "Don't you go and mislead me.?」:「。」:「。」I am already a man full of anger, and if you deceive me falsely, and have no real skill and cannot catch that monster, will it not bring more trouble down on me besides?" Xingzhe said, "I guarantee it will not delay you — just lead me to your master's gate." The man, having no other way out, truly picked up his bundle and umbrella again, turned about, and led master and disciples to the gate, saying, "You two elders, please sit a moment on the mounting-block, while I go in and report to my master." Only then did Xingzhe release his hand, set down the load, and hold the horse, while master and disciples stood and waited by the gate.

那高才入了大门,径往中堂上走,可可的撞见高太公。太公骂道:「你那个蛮皮畜生!怎么不去寻人,又回来做甚?」高才放下包、伞道:「上告主人公得知:小人才行出街口,忽撞见两个和尚:一个骑马,一个挑担。他扯住我不放,问我那里去。我再三不曾与他说及,他缠得没奈何,不得脱手,遂将主人公的事情,一一说与他知。他却十分欢喜,要与我们拿那妖怪哩。」高老道:「是那里来的?」高才道:「他说是东土驾下差来的御弟圣僧,前往西天拜佛求经的。」太公道:「既是远来的和尚,怕不真有些手段。他如今在那里 ?」高才道:「现在门外等候。」

:「。」The squire at once changed his clothes and went out with Gao Cai to greet them, calling out, "Elders!" When Sanzang heard this, he turned quickly, and already the man stood before him.:「。」The old man wore a black damask kerchief, a scallion-white Sichuan brocade robe, a pair of calfskin boots the color of unhulled rice, and a black-green sash at his waist. He came out smiling and greeting them warmly, saying, "Greetings, you two elders." Sanzang returned the courtesy, but Xingzhe stood there without moving.Seeing how fierce and ugly Xingzhe's face was, the old man did not dare exchange bows with him.:「?」:「Xingzhe said, "Why don't you bow to old Monkey?" The old man was rather frightened, and called out to Gao Cai, "Isn't this little fellow of yours going to be the death of me??」:「At home I already have an ugly-faced, monstrous-headed son-in-law I can't get rid of — why have you brought this Thunder God here to torment me as well?" Xingzhe said, "Old Gao, you've lived to such a great age for nothing, and still you don't understand things.If you judge people purely by their looks, you're making a clean mistake of it.I, old Monkey, may be ugly, but I have some real ability.?」:「。」If I catch the monster for your household, seize the demon, capture your son-in-law, and restore your daughter to you, that would be a fine thing indeed — why must you go on and on about looks?" Hearing this, the squire, trembling, could only force himself to summon some spirit and say, "Please, come in." Seeing the invitation, Xingzhe then led the white horse, had Gao Cai carry the luggage, and went in with Sanzang.Paying no mind to propriety, he tied the horse to a pillar of the open hall, dragged over a lacquered armchair with the shine worn off, and asked the master to sit down.Then he dragged over another chair and sat down beside him.:「。」:「。」Old Gao said, "This little elder is quite at home here, isn't he." Xingzhe said, "If you'll let me stay half a year, I'll be even more at home."

那太公即忙换了衣服,与高才出来迎接,叫声:「长老。」三藏听见,急转身,早已到了面前。那老者戴一顶乌绫巾,穿一领葱白蜀锦衣,踏一双糙米皮的犊子靴,系一条黑绿绦子,出来笑语相迎,便叫:「二位长老,作揖了。」三藏还了礼,行者站著不动。那老者见他相貌凶丑,便就不敢与他作揖。行者道:「怎么不唱老孙喏?」那老儿有几分害怕,叫高才道:「你这小厮却不弄杀我也?家里现有一个丑头怪脑的女婿打发不开,怎么又引这个雷公来害我?」行者道:「老高,你空长了许大年纪,还不省事。若专以相貌取人,干净错了。我老孙丑自丑,却有些本事。替你家擒得妖精,捉得鬼魅,拿住你那女婿,还了你女儿,便是好事,何必谆谆以相貌为言?」太公见说,战兢兢的,只得强打精神,叫声:「请进。」这行者见请,才牵了白马,教高才挑著行李,与三藏进去。他也不管好歹,就把马拴在敞厅柱上,扯过一张退光漆交椅,叫师父坐下。他又扯过一张椅子,坐在傍边。那高老道:「这个小长老,倒也家怀。」行者道:「你若肯留我住得半年,还家怀哩。」

:「?」:「Once seated, Old Gao asked, "Just now my young servant said you two elders are from the Land of the East?" Sanzang said, "That is so.。」:「?」:「This poor monk, by imperial command, is bound for the Western Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek the scriptures. Passing by your esteemed manor, I have made bold to ask lodging for the night, and will set out again early tomorrow." Old Gao said, "If you two only wished to borrow lodging, how is it you speak of catching monsters?" Xingzhe said, "Since we're only lodging here, we might as well catch a monster or two for sport while we're at it.?」:「May I ask how many monsters your esteemed household has?" Old Gao said, "Heaven help me!。」:「。」:「As if there weren't plenty already — this one monster of a son-in-law alone has worn me to exhaustion." Xingzhe said, "Tell me the whole story of this monster from beginning to end, how great his powers are, so that I may catch him for you." Old Gao said, "On this manor of ours, from ancient times to now, we never knew what it was to have ghosts or goblins or evil spirits working mischief.It is only that I, unlucky old fool, never had a son, and bore only three daughters: the eldest named Xianglan, the second named Yulan, and the third named Cuilan.The first two were married off since childhood to families in this very village.Only the youngest I meant to keep, wanting to take in a son-in-law to live with us and carry on the household, to be a son-in-law who would support us in old age, hold up the gate and prop the door, and work and take his turn at duties.Then unexpectedly, three years ago, there came a fellow whose looks were actually rather fine and refined.He said he was from a family on Fuling Mountain, surnamed Zhu, with no parents above him and no brothers below, and that he wished to become someone's son-in-law.Seeing that he was a man with no roots and no ties, I, old fool, took him in as son-in-law.Once he entered our gate, he was actually quite diligent and careful: he plowed and harrowed the fields without needing any ox or tool;he reaped the harvest without needing knife or flail;morning and evening he came and went, and truly he was quite good.。」:「?」:「Only there is this one thing — he has some ability to change his face and form." Xingzhe said, "Changes how?" Old Gao said, "When he first came he was a swarthy, stout fellow, but afterward he turned into a fool with a long snout and big ears, with a streak of bristly mane at the back of his head, his body coarse and frightful to look at, his head and face just like a pig's.And his appetite is enormous besides: at one sitting he needs three or five pecks of rice, and even for his morning snack he needs a hundred or so griddle cakes to be satisfied.It's a mercy that he still eats only vegetarian food;。」:「。」:「if he were also to eat meat and drink wine, then all this property and estate of mine, old fool that I am, would be eaten clean away within half a year." Sanzang said, "It is only because he can work that he can eat so much." Old Gao said, "The eating is a small matter.Now he has also learned to summon the wind, riding clouds and mist, moving stones and flying sand, so that he has frightened my whole household and the neighbors on both sides, and none of us can live in peace.And he has shut my little daughter Cuilan up in the rear apartments, and for a good half year now we have not even seen her face, and do not know whether she is alive or dead.。」Because of this we know he is a monster, and wish to engage a master of the Law to drive him out."

When that gust of wild wind had passed, there in the midst of the sky came a monster, and indeed he was born ugly: a black face with short bristles, a long snout and big ears;he wore a robe of shuttle-woven cloth that was neither quite black nor quite blue, and bound at the waist with a flowered kerchief.:「。」Xingzhe laughed inwardly, saying, "So this is the sort of business it is." Being the fine fellow he was, he did not go to meet him nor question him, but lay on the bed pretending to be ill, moaning and groaning without pause.The monster, unable to tell true from false, walked into the room, threw his arms about her at once, and tried to kiss her.:「。」Xingzhe laughed inwardly, saying, "So he really means to trifle with old Monkey." He at once used a grappling hold, took hold of the monster's long snout, and gave him what is called a little trip.With one twist of the head he flung him down, and the monster tumbled with a thud off the bed.:「The monster scrambled up, and holding onto the edge of the bed, said, 'Sister, why are you cross with me today??」:「。」:「?」:「I suppose I came too late?' Xingzhe said, 'Not cross, not cross.' The monster said, 'If you're not cross with me, why did you throw me down like that?' Xingzhe said, 'Why are you so ill-bred, grabbing me to kiss you the moment you arrive?I've been feeling a bit unwell today;if I were as well as usual, I would have gotten up and opened the door to wait for you.。」You'd better take off your clothes and go to sleep.' The monster, not catching her meaning, really went to undress.Xingzhe jumped up and sat down on the chamber pot.:「The monster went back to the bed as before and felt around, but found no one there, and called out, 'Sister, where have you gone?。」:「。」Please take off your clothes and come to sleep.' Xingzhe said, 'You go to sleep first, let me go relieve myself.' The monster did indeed undress and get into bed first.

Xingzhe said, 'That's not how it is.。」:「?」:「Today my parents, from over the wall, threw bricks and roof tiles at me, and scolded and beat me quite severely.' The monster said, 'Why did they beat and scold you?' Xingzhe said, 'They said that since you and I became husband and wife, you're a son-in-law under their roof, yet you have no manners at all.。」:「Such an ugly-faced fellow — he cannot even meet his uncles by marriage, nor be seen by relatives, and moreover no one knows how you come and go on clouds and mist, or truly which family you're from, what your surname and given name are; you have ruined their good name and disgraced their family reputation, and that's why they beat and scolded me so, which is why I'm troubled.' The monster said, 'Though I am somewhat ugly, if I wanted to be handsome, that wouldn't be hard either.When I first came, I explained everything to him, and only after he agreed did he take me in as a son-in-law.Why bring up this talk again today?My home is at Cloud Ladder Cave on Fuling Mountain.I took my surname from my appearance, so my surname is Zhu, and my formal name is Zhu Ganglie.。」If he comes to ask you again, just tell him this.'

Xingzhe said, 'Why would you leave just like that?' The monster said, 'You don't know — that Bimawen who caused havoc in Heaven has quite some ability. I'm only afraid I couldn't get the better of him, and would lose my reputation and look bad.'

What it’s about

At Gao Village a household complains that a shape-changing monster has confined their daughter and spoiled their respectability. Wukong poses as the young woman, listens to the visitor boast about his work and devotion, then reveals himself. Their farcical pursuit drives the creature from the bedroom toward his mountain home at Cloud-Path Cave.

The stranger is Zhu Bajie, formerly Heaven's Marshal Tianpeng, banished after drunkenly harassing the moon goddess and reborn with a pig's face. The Gao family benefited from his prodigious farm labour before rejecting him, while his control of their daughter remains indefensible. Wukong prepares to confront and recruit this compromised future companion.

When it was written 背景

Bajie's introduction makes him comic without making the household wholly innocent. Appetite, sexuality, labour, shame and desire for belonging are tangled rather than assigned to separate characters. Much is vivid dialogue and disguise comedy. Readers should begin linking former office, family nickname and later religious name, all of which refer to the same figure.
