诗曰：

卻說那鎮元大仙用手攙著行者道：「我也知道你的本事，我也聞得你的英名，只是你今番越理欺心，縱有騰那，脫不得我手。Now, Master Zhenyuan took hold of Xingzhe's arm with his hand and said, "I too know your abilities, and I too have heard of your fame — but this time you have overstepped reason and deceived your own conscience; however much you can shift and dodge, you will not escape my grasp.我就和你講到西天，見了你那佛祖，也少不得還我人參果樹。Even if I argued with you all the way to the Western Heaven and saw that Buddha of yours, you still could not avoid restoring my ginseng fruit tree to me.你莫弄神通。」行者笑道：「你這先生，好小家子樣。Don't try any magic powers on me." Xingzhe laughed and said, "You, sir, are being so petty and small-minded.若要樹活，有甚疑難？If you want the tree brought back to life, what's so difficult about that?早說這話，可不省了一場爭競？」大仙道：「不爭競，我肯善自饒你！」行者道：「你解了我師父，我還你一棵活樹如何？」大仙道：「你若有此神通，醫得樹活，我與你八拜為交，結為兄弟。」行者道：「不打緊，放了他們，老孫管教還你活樹。」If you'd said so earlier, wouldn't it have saved all this quarreling?" The Great Immortal said, "Without a quarrel, would I be willing to let you off so easily!" Xingzhe said, "Release my master, and I'll give you back a living tree — how about that?" The Great Immortal said, "If you truly have such magic power that you can heal the tree back to life, I will bow to you eight times and become sworn brothers with you." Xingzhe said, "No trouble at all — let them go, and old Sun guarantees to give you back a living tree."

却说那镇元大仙用手搀著行者道：「我也知道你的本事，我也闻得你的英名，只是你今番越理欺心，纵有腾那，脱不得我手。我就和你讲到西天，见了你那佛祖，也少不得还我人参果树。你莫弄神通。」行者笑道：「你这先生，好小家子样。若要树活，有甚疑难？早说这话，可不省了一场争竞？」大仙道：「不争竞，我肯善自饶你！」行者道：「你解了我师父，我还你一棵活树如何？」大仙道：「你若有此神通，医得树活，我与你八拜为交，结为兄弟。」行者道：「不打紧，放了他们，老孙管教还你活树。」

大仙諒他走不脫，即命解放了三藏、八戒、沙僧。The Great Immortal, reckoning that he could not escape, at once ordered Sanzang, Bajie, and Sha Seng to be released.沙僧道：「師父啊，不知師兄搗得是甚麼鬼哩。」八戒道：「甚麼鬼，這叫做『當面人情鬼』。Sha Seng said, "Master, I don't know what trick our elder brother is up to." Bajie said, "What trick? This is what's called 'playing the favor-to-your-face trick.'樹死了，又可醫得活？The tree is dead — can it really be cured back to life?他弄個光皮散兒好看，者著求醫治樹，單單了脫身走路，還顧得你和我哩。」三藏道：「他決不敢撒了我們。He's just putting on a fine show for looks, using the pretext of seeking a cure for the tree simply to slip away and make his escape — will he even give a thought to you and me?" Sanzang said, "He would never dare abandon us.我們問他那裡求醫去。」遂叫道：「悟空，你怎麼哄了仙長，解放我等？」行者道：「老孫是真言實語，怎麼哄他？」三藏道：「你往何處去求方？」行者道：「古人云：『方從海上來。』我今要上東洋大海，遍遊三島十洲，訪問仙翁聖老，求一個起死回生之法，管教醫得他樹活。」三藏道：「此去幾時可回？」行者道：「只消三日。」三藏道：「既如此，就依你說，與你三日之限。Let's ask him where he intends to go to seek a cure." So he called out, "Wukong, how have you deceived the Immortal Elder into releasing us?" Xingzhe said, "Old Sun spoke true and honest words — how could I have deceived him?" Sanzang said, "Where will you go to seek a remedy?" Xingzhe said, "The ancients said, 'Remedies come from over the sea.' I intend now to go to the Eastern Ocean, to travel all through the Three Islands and Ten Continents, to seek out the immortal elders and sacred sages, and to beg for a method of reviving the dead, so as to make sure the tree is cured and brought back to life." Sanzang said, "How long before you can return from this journey?" Xingzhe said, "It will take only three days." Sanzang said, "Very well then, I will do as you say and grant you a limit of three days.三日裡來便罷；If you return within three days, all will be well;若三日之外不來，我就念那話兒經了。」行者道：「遵命，遵命。」but if you have not returned after three days, I will recite that spell." Xingzhe said, "As you command, as you command."

詩曰

shī yuē — a poem goes:

好猴王，急纵觔斗云，别了五庄观，径上东洋大海。在半空中，快如掣电，疾如流星，早到蓬莱仙境。按云头，往下仔细观看，真个好去处。有诗为证。诗曰：

那行者看不盡仙景，徑入蓬萊。Xingzhe, unable to take in all the immortal scenery, went straight into Penglai.正然走處，見白雲洞外，松陰之下，有三個老兒圍碁，觀局者是壽星，對局者是福星、祿星。Just as he was walking along, he saw, outside White Cloud Cave, beneath the shade of the pines, three old men gathered around a game of chess — the one watching the game was the Star of Longevity, and those playing against each other were the Star of Fortune and the Star of Prosperity.行者上前叫道：「老弟們，作揖了。」那三星見了，拂退碁枰，回禮道：「大聖何來？」行者道：「特來尋你們耍子。」壽星道：「我聞大聖棄道從釋，脫性命保護唐僧往西天取經，逐日奔波山路，那些兒得閑，卻來耍子？」行者道：「實不瞞列位說，老孫因往西方，行在半路，有些兒阻滯，特來小事欲干，不知肯否？」福星道：「是甚地方？Xingzhe stepped forward and called out, "Little brothers, greetings to you." When the Three Stars saw him, they pushed aside the chessboard and returned the courtesy, saying, "Great Sage, where have you come from?" Xingzhe said, "I've come especially to find you all for some fun." The Star of Longevity said, "I heard that the Great Sage abandoned Daoism to follow Buddhism, risking your life to protect Tang Seng on his journey west to fetch the scriptures, hurrying along mountain roads day after day — how do you have any leisure to come and play?" Xingzhe said, "To tell you the truth, and hide nothing, old Sun was on the way west and met with some obstruction along the road; I've come specially with a small matter I wish to ask of you — I wonder if you'd be willing?" The Star of Fortune said, "What place is it?因何阻滯？and why the obstruction?乞為明示，吾好裁處。」行者道：「因路過萬壽山五莊觀有阻。」三老驚訝道：「五莊觀是鎮元大仙的仙宮，你莫不是把他人參果偷吃了？」行者笑道：「偷吃了能值甚麼？」三老道：「你這猴子，不知好歹。Please explain it clearly so that we may decide how to handle it." Xingzhe said, "It's because passing by Five Villages Abbey on Longevity Mountain I ran into trouble." The three elders said in astonishment, "Five Villages Abbey is the immortal palace of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan — could it be that you stole and ate his ginseng fruit?" Xingzhe laughed and said, "What's it worth, just stealing a bite to eat?" The three elders said, "You monkey, you don't know what's good for you.那果子聞一聞，活三百六十歲。Merely smelling that fruit gives one three hundred and sixty years of life.吃一個，活四萬七千年。Eating one gives forty-seven thousand years of life.叫做萬壽草還丹。It is called the Ten-Thousand-Longevity Herb-Returning Elixir.我們的道，不及他多矣。Our own attainments in the Dao fall far short of it.他得之甚易，就可與天齊壽；He obtains it so easily, and with it can attain a lifespan equal to Heaven's;我們還要養精、煉氣、存神，調和龍虎、捉坎填離，不知費多少工夫。whereas we must still nurture our essence, refine our breath, preserve our spirit, harmonize the dragon and tiger, and seize kan to fill li — there's no telling how much effort that takes.你怎麼說他的能值甚緊？How can you say it's worth so little?天下只有此種靈根。」行者道：「靈根，靈根，我已弄了他個斷根哩。」三老驚道：「怎的斷根？」In all the world there is only this one kind of sacred root." Xingzhe said, "Sacred root, sacred root — well, I've already made it root-severed for him." The three elders exclaimed in shock, "How is it root-severed?"

那行者看不尽仙景，径入蓬莱。正然走处，见白云洞外，松阴之下，有三个老儿围碁，观局者是寿星，对局者是福星、禄星。行者上前叫道：「老弟们，作揖了。」那三星见了，拂退碁枰，回礼道：「大圣何来？」行者道：「特来寻你们耍子。」寿星道：「我闻大圣弃道从释，脱性命保护唐僧往西天取经，逐日奔波山路，那些儿得闲，却来耍子？」行者道：「实不瞒列位说，老孙因往西方，行在半路，有些儿阻滞，特来小事欲干，不知肯否？」福星道：「是甚地方？因何阻滞？乞为明示，吾好裁处。」行者道：「因路过万寿山五庄观有阻。」三老惊讶道：「五庄观是镇元大仙的仙宫，你莫不是把他人参果偷吃了？」行者笑道：「偷吃了能值甚么？」三老道：「你这猴子，不知好歹。那果子闻一闻，活三百六十岁。吃一个，活四万七千年。叫做万寿草还丹。我们的道，不及他多矣。他得之甚易，就可与天齐寿；我们还要养精、炼气、存神，调和龙虎、捉坎填离，不知费多少工夫。你怎么说他的能值甚紧？天下只有此种灵根。」行者道：「灵根，灵根，我已弄了他个断根哩。」三老惊道：「怎的断根？」

行者道：「我們前日在他觀裡，那大仙不在家，只有兩個小童接待了我師父，卻將兩個人參果奉與我師。Xingzhe said, "The other day when we were in his abbey, the Great Immortal was not at home; there were only two young page-boys who received my master, and they offered two ginseng fruits to my master.我師不認得，只說是三朝未滿的孩童，再三不吃。My master didn't recognize what they were, and insisted they were infants not yet three days old, and refused again and again to eat them.那童子就拿去吃了，不曾讓得我們。The page-boys then took them away and ate them themselves, without offering us any.是老孫就去偷了他三個，我兄弟三人吃了。So old Sun went and stole three of them, and the three of us brothers ate them.那童子不知高低，賊前賊後的罵個不住。Those page-boys, not knowing their place, kept cursing us endlessly as thieves, front and back.是老孫惱了，把他樹打了一棍，推倒在地，樹上果子全無，枒開葉落，根出枝傷，已枯死了。Old Sun got angry and struck the tree a blow with my staff, knocking it to the ground — every fruit on the tree vanished, the branches split apart and the leaves fell, the roots were exposed and the boughs damaged, and it had already withered and died.不想那童子關住我們，又被老孫扭開鎖走了。Unexpectedly, the page-boys shut us in, but old Sun twisted the lock open and we got away.次日清辰，那先生回家趕來，問答間，語言不和，遂與他賭鬥，被他閃一閃，把袍袖展開，一袖子都籠去了。The next morning at dawn, that immortal gentleman hurried home, and in the course of our exchange, words did not agree, so we fought him — but with just a flick, he spread open his robe sleeve and swept all of us up inside it.繩纏索綁，拷問鞭敲，就打了一日。We were bound with ropes and cords, interrogated and whipped, and beaten for a whole day.是夜又逃了，他又趕上，依舊籠去。That night we escaped again, but he caught up with us again and swept us up inside just as before.他身無寸鐵，只是把個麈尾遮架，我兄弟這等三般兵器，莫想打得著。He carried not a single weapon on him, only using a whisk to block and parry, yet with our three kinds of weapons among us brothers, there was no hope of landing a blow on him.他這一番仍舊擺佈，將布裹漆了我師父與兩師弟，卻將我下油鍋。This time he again arranged things as before, wrapping my master and my two fellow disciples in cloth and lacquering them over, while he put me into a pot of boiling oil.我又做了個脫身本事走了，把他鍋都打破。I again used my skill at slipping free and got away, and I smashed his pot to pieces in the process.他見拿我不住，儘有幾分醋我。Seeing that he could not hold onto me, he came to feel a certain grudging respect for me.是我又與他好講，教他放了我師父、師弟，我與他醫樹管活，兩家才得安寧。So I reasoned with him again in good faith, and had him release my master and fellow disciples, in exchange for my guaranteeing to cure the tree back to life — only then did the two sides find peace.我想著『方從海上來』，故此特遊仙境，訪三位老弟。I remembered the saying 'remedies come from over the sea,' and so I came specially touring these immortal realms to visit you three, my little brothers.有甚醫樹的方兒，傳我一個，急救唐僧脫苦。」If there is any remedy for curing trees, please pass one on to me, so that I may urgently save Tang Seng from his suffering."

行者道：「我们前日在他观里，那大仙不在家，只有两个小童接待了我师父，却将两个人参果奉与我师。我师不认得，只说是三朝未满的孩童，再三不吃。那童子就拿去吃了，不曾让得我们。是老孙就去偷了他三个，我兄弟三人吃了。那童子不知高低，贼前贼后的骂个不住。是老孙恼了，把他树打了一棍，推倒在地，树上果子全无，枒开叶落，根出枝伤，已枯死了。不想那童子关住我们，又被老孙扭开锁走了。次日清辰，那先生回家赶来，问答间，语言不和，遂与他赌斗，被他闪一闪，把袍袖展开，一袖子都笼去了。绳缠索绑，拷问鞭敲，就打了一日。是夜又逃了，他又赶上，依旧笼去。他身无寸铁，只是把个麈尾遮架，我兄弟这等三般兵器，莫想打得著。他这一番仍旧摆布，将布裹漆了我师父与两师弟，却将我下油锅。我又做了个脱身本事走了，把他锅都打破。他见拿我不住，尽有几分醋我。是我又与他好讲，教他放了我师父、师弟，我与他医树管活，两家才得安宁。我想著『方从海上来』，故此特游仙境，访三位老弟。有甚医树的方儿，传我一个，急救唐僧脱苦。」

三星聞言，心中也悶道：「你這猴兒，全不識人。When the Three Stars heard this, they too felt troubled at heart and said, "You monkey, you have no idea at all whom you're dealing with.那鎮元子乃地仙之祖；That Zhenyuanzi is the Patriarch of the Earthly Immortals;我等乃神仙之宗；we are but the Ancestors of the Divine Immortals;你雖得了天仙，還是太乙散數，未入真流，你怎麼脫得他手？though you have attained the rank of Celestial Immortal, you are still only of the scattered ranks of Taiyi, not yet admitted into the true stream — how could you ever escape his grasp?若是大聖打殺了走獸飛禽、蜾蟲鱗長，只用我黍米之丹，可以救活。If the Great Sage had killed some running beast or flying bird, some insect or scaled creature, then my millet-grain elixir alone would suffice to bring it back to life.那人參果乃仙木之根，如何醫治？But that ginseng fruit is the root of an immortal tree — how could it be cured?沒方，沒方。」那行者見說無方，卻就眉峰雙鎖，額蹙千痕。There is no remedy, no remedy." When Xingzhe heard there was no remedy, his brows knit together like locked peaks, and his forehead furrowed with a thousand creases.福星道：「大聖，此處無方，他處或有，怎麼就生煩惱？」行者道：「無方別訪，果然容易，就是遊遍海角天涯，轉透三十六天，亦是小可。The Star of Fortune said, "Great Sage, there is no remedy here, but there may be one elsewhere — why trouble yourself so?" Xingzhe said, "If there's none here, seeking elsewhere is indeed easy enough; even touring every corner of sea and sky, passing clean through all thirty-six heavens, would be a small matter.只是我那唐長老法嚴量窄，止與了我三日期限；It's only that my Elder Tang is strict in his rules and narrow in his tolerance, and has given me a limit of only three days;三日以外不到，他就要念那緊箍兒咒哩。」三星笑道：「好，好，好，若不是這個法兒拘束你，你又鑽天了。」壽星道：「大聖放心，不須煩惱。if I fail to return within three days, he will recite that tight-fillet spell." The Three Stars laughed and said, "Good, good, good — if not for this method to restrain you, you'd go bursting off through the heavens again." The Star of Longevity said, "Great Sage, set your mind at ease, there is no need to trouble yourself.那大仙雖稱上輩，卻也與我等有識。That Great Immortal, though he is reckoned a senior generation, is nonetheless an acquaintance of ours.一則久別，不曾拜望；For one thing, it has been long since we parted and we have not yet paid him a visit;二來是大聖的人情：如今我三人同去望他一望，就與你道達此情，教那唐和尚莫念緊箍兒咒，休說三日五日，只等你求得方來，我們才別。」行者道：「感激，感激。and for another, there is the Great Sage's personal favor to consider: so now the three of us will go together to pay him a visit, and we will convey this matter to him on your behalf, so that the Tang monk will not recite the tight-fillet spell — never mind three or five days, we will wait until you have obtained the remedy and returned before we take our leave." Xingzhe said, "Much obliged, much obliged.就請三位老弟行行，我去也。」大聖辭別三星不題。Please, you three little brothers, go on ahead then — I'll be on my way." The Great Sage took his leave of the Three Stars, and no more is said of that for now.

那仙童看見，即忙報道：「師父，海上三星來了。」鎮元子正與唐僧師弟閑敘，聞報，即降階奉迎。When the immortal page-boys saw them, they hastened to report, "Master, the Three Stars from over the sea have come!" Zhenyuanzi, who was just then chatting idly with Tang Seng and his disciples, hearing the report, at once came down the steps to receive them respectfully.那八戒見了壽星，近前扯住，笑道：「你這肉頭老兒，許久不見，還是這般脫灑，帽兒也不帶個來。」遂把自家一個僧帽，撲的套在他頭上，撲著手呵呵大笑道：「好，好，好，真是『加冠進祿』也。」那壽星將帽子摜了，罵道：「你這個夯貨，老大不知高低。」八戒道：「我不是夯貨，你等真是奴才。」福星道：「你倒是個夯貨，反敢罵人是奴才？」八戒又笑道：「既不是人家奴才，好道叫做『添壽』、『添福』、『添祿』？」那三藏喝退了八戒，急整衣拜了三星。Bajie, seeing the Star of Longevity, stepped up and grabbed hold of him, laughing, "You fat-headed old fellow, haven't seen you in ages, and you're still just as carefree — didn't even bring a hat along." Whereupon he plopped one of his own monk's caps right down onto the old man's head, clapped his hands, and roared with laughter, "Good, good, good — truly this is 'adding a cap, advancing to prosperity'!" The Star of Longevity flung the cap off and scolded, "You great lout, you truly don't know your place." Bajie said, "I'm no lout — you lot are the real servants." The Star of Fortune said, "You're the lout, and yet you dare call us servants?" Bajie laughed again and said, "If you're not somebody's servants, then why are you properly called 'Adding Longevity,' 'Adding Fortune,' and 'Adding Prosperity'?" Sanzang shouted Bajie back and hurriedly straightened his robe to bow to the Three Stars.

那三星以晚輩之禮見了大仙，方才敘坐。The Three Stars greeted the Great Immortal with the courtesy due from juniors, and only then did they take their seats to converse.坐定，祿星道：「我們一向久闊尊顏。Once seated, the Star of Prosperity said, "It has been long indeed since we last beheld your honored face.有失恭敬，今因孫大聖攪擾仙山，特來相見。」大仙道：「孫行者到蓬萊去的？」壽星道：「是，因為傷了大仙的丹樹，他來我處求方醫治。We have failed in proper respect; today, because Great Sage Sun has been disturbing our immortal mountain, we have come specially to see you." The Great Immortal said, "So Sun Xingzhe went to Penglai?" The Star of Longevity said, "Yes — because he damaged the Great Immortal's elixir tree, he came to us seeking a remedy to cure it.我輩無方，他又到別處求訪，但恐違了聖僧三日之限，要念緊箍兒咒。We had no remedy, and so he has gone elsewhere to seek one; but we feared he might overrun the holy monk's three-day limit and have the tight-fillet spell recited upon him.我輩一來奉拜，二來討個寬限。」三藏聞言，連聲應道：「不敢念，不敢念。」So we have come, firstly to pay our respects, and secondly to beg for an extension of the limit." Hearing this, Sanzang repeatedly assented, "I would not dare recite it, I would not dare."

那三星以晚辈之礼见了大仙，方才叙坐。坐定，禄星道：「我们一向久阔尊颜。有失恭敬，今因孙大圣搅扰仙山，特来相见。」大仙道：「孙行者到蓬莱去的？」寿星道：「是，因为伤了大仙的丹树，他来我处求方医治。我辈无方，他又到别处求访，但恐违了圣僧三日之限，要念紧箍儿咒。我辈一来奉拜，二来讨个宽限。」三藏闻言，连声应道：「不敢念，不敢念。」

正說處，八戒又跑進來，扯住福星，要討果子吃。Just as they were speaking, Bajie came running in again, grabbed hold of the Star of Fortune, and demanded fruit to eat.他去袖裡亂摸，腰裡亂挖，不住的揭他衣服搜檢。He groped wildly inside his sleeves and dug about at his waist, ceaselessly lifting his robes to search him.三藏笑道：「那八戒是甚麼規矩！」八戒道：「不是沒規矩，此叫做『番番是福』。」三藏又叱令出去。Sanzang laughed and said, "Bajie, what manner of behavior is this!" Bajie said, "It's not bad manners — this is called 'every turn brings fortune.'" Sanzang again scolded him and ordered him out.那獃子跨出門，瞅著福星，眼不轉睛的發狠。The idiot stepped out the door, glaring fiercely at the Star of Fortune without so much as blinking.福星道：「夯貨，我那裡惱了你來，你這等恨我？」八戒道：「不是恨你，這叫『回頭望福』。」那獃子出得門來，只見一個小童拿了四把茶匙，方去尋鍾取果看茶，被他一把奪過，跑上殿，拿著小磬兒，用手亂敲亂打，兩頭頑耍。The Star of Fortune said, "You lout, when have I ever offended you, that you should hate me so?" Bajie said, "It's not that I hate you — this is called 'turning back to gaze upon fortune.'" Once the idiot had gone out the door, he saw a young page-boy carrying four tea spoons, just then going to find cups, fetch fruit, and prepare tea, and he snatched them away in one grab, ran up into the hall, seized a small chime-stone, and began banging and striking it wildly with his hands, playing about with both ends of it.大仙道：「這個和尚越發不尊重了。」八戒笑道：「不是不尊重，這叫做『四時吉慶』。」The Great Immortal said, "This monk grows more disrespectful by the moment." Bajie laughed and said, "It's not disrespect — this is called 'the four seasons' auspicious celebration.'"
