卻說那菩薩念了幾遍，卻才住口，那妖精就不疼了。Now the Bodhisattva chanted the spell several times over, and only when she stopped did the demon's pain cease.又正性起身看處，頸項裡與手足上都是金箍，勒得疼痛，便就除那箍兒時，莫想褪得動分毫。Just as he rose in a temper to look himself over, he found golden bands about his neck and on his wrists and ankles, pinching and aching, and when he tried to strip the bands off, he could not budge them so much as a hair's breadth.這寶貝已此是見肉生根，越抹越痛。This treasure had already taken root in his very flesh — the more he rubbed at it, the more it hurt.行者笑道：「我那乖乖，菩薩恐你養不大，與你戴個頸圈鐲頭哩。」那童子聞此言，又生煩惱，就此綽起槍來，望行者亂刺。Xingzhe laughed and said, "My dear little one, the Bodhisattva feared you'd never grow up properly, so she's fitted you with a collar and bracelets." Hearing this, the boy grew angrier still, snatched up his spear, and thrust wildly at Xingzhe.行者急閃身，立在菩薩後面，叫：「念咒，念咒。」那菩薩將楊柳枝兒蘸了一點甘露，灑將去，叫聲：「合！」只見他丟了槍，一雙手合掌當胸，再也不能開放。Xingzhe swiftly dodged aside and stood behind the Bodhisattva, calling out, "Recite the spell, recite the spell!" The Bodhisattva dipped her willow sprig in a drop of sweet dew, flung it out, and cried, "Close!" At once the boy dropped his spear, his two hands pressed together in front of his chest, and try as he might he could no longer pry them apart.至今留了一個觀音扭，即此意也。To this day there remains a gesture called the "Guanyin clasp," and this is precisely its origin.那童子開不得手，拿不得槍，方知是法力深微，沒奈何，才納頭下拜。Unable to free his hands or grip his spear, the boy at last understood the depth of her power, and having no other choice, he bowed his head to the ground in submission.

菩薩念動真言，把淨瓶攲倒，將那一海水依然收去，更無半點存留。The Bodhisattva recited the true spell and tipped her pure vase, drawing that whole sea of water back into it, until not a single drop remained.對行者道：「悟空，這妖精已是降了，卻只是野心不定。She said to Xingzhe, "Wukong, this demon is now subdued, but his wild heart is not yet settled.等我教他一步一拜，只拜到落伽山，方才收法。Let me have him bow at every step, all the way to Mount Luojia, and only then will I release the spell.你如今快早去洞中，救你師父去來。」行者轉身叩頭道：「有勞菩薩遠涉，弟子當送一程。」菩薩道：「你不消送，恐怕誤了你師父性命。」行者聞言，歡喜叩別。You must hurry now to the cave and rescue your master." Xingzhe turned and kowtowed, saying, "The Bodhisattva has troubled herself to travel so far — your disciple should escort you part of the way." The Bodhisattva said, "There is no need to escort me — I fear it would delay saving your master's life." Hearing this, Xingzhe joyfully bowed farewell.那妖精早歸了正果，五十三參，參拜觀音。The demon had already been set upon the path to true fruition, bowing in homage to Guanyin at all fifty-three stations of worship.

Xingzhe said, "You must still be dreaming — old Sun has already invited the Bodhisattva and subdued the demon."

他两个才跳过涧去，撞到门前，拴下马匹。举兵器齐打入洞里，剿净了群妖，解下皮袋，放出八戒来。那呆子谢了行者道：「哥哥，那妖精在那里？等我去筑他几钯，出出气来。」行者道：「且寻师父去。」

三人徑至後邊，只見師父赤條條，綑在院中哭哩。The three of them went straight to the rear, and there they saw their master, stripped bare, bound in the courtyard, weeping.沙僧連忙解繩，行者即取衣服穿上。Shaseng hurried to untie the ropes, while Xingzhe fetched his clothes and helped him dress.三人跪在面前道：「師父吃苦了。」三藏謝道：「賢徒啊，多累你等。The three knelt before him and said, "Master, you have suffered." Sanzang thanked them, saying, "Worthy disciples, I have troubled you all so much.怎生降得妖魔也？」行者又將請菩薩，收童子之言，備陳一遍。How did you manage to subdue the demon?" Xingzhe again recounted in full the story of inviting the Bodhisattva and taking the boy captive.三藏聽得，即忙跪下，朝南禮拜。When Sanzang heard this, he at once knelt and bowed in worship toward the south.行者道：「不消謝他，轉是我們與他作福，收了一個童子。」如今說童子拜觀音，五十三參，參參見佛，即此是也。Xingzhe said, "There's no need to thank her — if anything, it is we who did her a good turn, bringing her a boy attendant." And to this day, when it is told how the boy worships Guanyin at all fifty-three stations, bowing before the Buddha at each one, this is exactly what is meant.

Tang Seng said, "The Heart Sutra was orally transmitted to me by Chan Master Wuchao of Mount Futu — fifty-four lines in all, two hundred and seventy characters.我當時耳傳，至今常念，你知我忘了那句兒？」行者道：「老師父，你忘了『無眼耳鼻舌身意』。I received it by ear at the time, and I have recited it constantly ever since — which line do you claim I've forgotten?"

Hearing this, Sanzang fell silent, sunk in thought, and said, "Disciples, I—

唐僧下馬道：「徒弟，這水怎麼如此渾黑？」八戒道：「是那家潑了靛缸了。」沙僧道：「不然，是誰家洗筆硯哩。」行者道：「你們且休胡猜亂道，且設法保師父過去。」八戒道：「這河若是老豬過去不難：或是駕了雲頭，或是下河負水，不消頓飯時，我就過去了。」沙僧道：「若教我老沙，也只消縱雲屣水，頃刻而過。」行者道：「我等容易，只是師父難哩。」三藏道：「徒弟啊，這河有多少寬麼？」八戒道：「約摸有十來里寬。」三藏道：「你三個計較，著那個馱我過去罷。」行者道：「八戒馱得。」八戒道：「不好馱：若是馱著騰雲，三尺也不能離地。Tang Seng dismounted and said, "Disciples, why is this water so murky and black?" Bajie said, "Some household must have spilled a vat of indigo dye into it." Shaseng said, "Not so — more likely someone's been washing their ink brushes and inkstones in it." Xingzhe said, "Stop your wild guessing, the two of you, and let's find some way to get our master across." Bajie said, "As for this river, it would be no trouble for old Zhu to cross: whether riding a cloud or wading through the water bearing a load, it wouldn't take me the time it takes to eat a meal to get across." Shaseng said, "If it were left to old Sha, it would likewise take no more than mounting a cloud or treading the water — a moment and I'd be across." Xingzhe said, "For us it's easy enough — it's our master who is the difficulty." Sanzang said, "Disciples, how wide might this river be?" Bajie said, "About ten li across, I'd guess." Sanzang said, "The three of you discuss it and decide which of you will carry me across." Xingzhe said, "Bajie can carry you." Bajie said, "That won't do: if I carry him while riding a cloud, I won't be able to rise three feet off the ground.常言道：『背凡人重若丘山。』若是馱著負水，轉連我墜下水去了。」As the saying goes, 'A mortal's weight on one's back is heavy as a mountain range.' And if I carry him while wading through the water, he'll only end up dragging me down under the water with him."

唐僧下马道：「徒弟，这水怎么如此浑黑？」八戒道：「是那家泼了靛缸了。」沙僧道：「不然，是谁家洗笔砚哩。」行者道：「你们且休胡猜乱道，且设法保师父过去。」八戒道：「这河若是老猪过去不难：或是驾了云头，或是下河负水，不消顿饭时，我就过去了。」沙僧道：「若教我老沙，也只消纵云屣水，顷刻而过。」行者道：「我等容易，只是师父难哩。」三藏道：「徒弟啊，这河有多少宽么？」八戒道：「约摸有十来里宽。」三藏道：「你三个计较，著那个驮我过去罢。」行者道：「八戒驮得。」八戒道：「不好驮：若是驮著腾云，三尺也不能离地。常言道：『背凡人重若丘山。』若是驮著负水，转连我坠下水去了。」

師徒們在河邊正都商議，只見那上溜頭有一人棹下一隻小船兒來。As master and disciples stood by the riverbank deliberating, they saw a man upstream poling a small boat down toward them.唐僧喜道：「徒弟，有船來了，叫他渡我們過去。」沙僧厲聲高叫道：「棹船的，來渡人，來渡人。」船上人道：「我不是渡船，如何渡人？」沙僧道：「天上人間，方便第一。Tang Seng said happily, "Disciples, a boat is coming — call out to him to ferry us across." Shaseng called out loudly, "Boatman! Come ferry us across, come ferry us across!" The man on the boat said, "I'm no ferryman — how could I ferry people across?" Shaseng said, "In heaven or on earth, offering convenience to others comes first.你雖不是渡船，我們也不是常來打攪你的。Even if you're not a regular ferry, we won't trouble you often.我等是東土欽差取經的佛子，你可方便方便，渡我們過去，謝你。」那人聞言，卻把船兒棹近岸邊，扶著槳道：「師父啊，我這船小，你們人多，怎能全渡？」三藏近前看了，那船兒原來是一段木頭刻的，中間只有一個艙口，只好坐下兩個人。We are Buddhist pilgrims sent from the Land of the East to fetch the scriptures — please be so good as to grant us this convenience and ferry us across, and we shall thank you for it." Hearing this, the man poled his boat nearer to the bank, and steadying himself on his oar, said, "Master, my boat is small and there are many of you — how can I possibly ferry you all across at once?" Sanzang came closer and looked, and saw that the boat was in fact carved from a single log, with only one open hold in the middle, just large enough to seat two people.三藏道：「怎生是好？」沙僧道：「這般啊，兩遭兒渡罷。」八戒就使心術，要躲懶討乖，道：「悟淨，你與大哥在這邊看著行李、馬匹，等我保師父先過去，卻再來渡馬。Sanzang said, "What shall we do?" Shaseng said, "In that case, let's cross in two trips." Bajie, scheming to shirk his share of the work and play the clever one, said, "Wujing, you and Big Brother stay here and watch the baggage and the horse, while I escort Master across first, and then come back for the horse.教大哥跳過去罷。」行者點頭道：「你說的是。」Let Big Brother leap across on his own." Xingzhe nodded and said, "That sounds right."

这阵风，原来就是那棹船人弄的。他本是黑水河中怪物。眼看著那唐僧与猪八戒，连船儿淬在水里，无影无形，不知摄了那方去也。

這岸上沙僧與行者心慌道：「怎麼好？On the bank, Shaseng and Xingzhe cried out in alarm, "What shall we do?老師父步步逢災，才脫了魔障，幸得這一路平安，又遇著黑水迍邅。」沙僧道：「莫是翻了船？Our old master meets with calamity at every step — he had only just escaped one demonic ordeal, and we were fortunate enough to travel this stretch in peace, only now to run into trouble at the Black Water River." Shaseng said, "Could the boat have capsized?我們往下溜頭找尋去。」行者道：「不是翻船，若翻船，八戒會水，他必然保師父，負水而出。Let's go search downstream." Xingzhe said, "It wasn't a capsized boat — if the boat had capsized, Bajie knows how to swim, and he would certainly have protected our master and carried him up out of the water.我才見那個棹船的有些不正氣，想必就是這廝弄風，把師父拖下水去了。」沙僧聞言道：「哥哥何不早說？Just now I noticed something not quite right about that boatman's manner — he must be the one who stirred up the wind and dragged Master down into the water." Hearing this, Shaseng said, "Brother, why didn't you say so sooner?你看著馬與行李，等我下水找尋去來。」行者道：「這水色不正，恐你不能去。」沙僧道：「這水比我那流沙河如何？You watch the horse and the baggage, and let me go down into the water to search." Xingzhe said, "This water's color is not right — I'm afraid you may not be able to manage it." Shaseng said, "How does this water compare to my old Flowing Sands River?去得，去得。」I can manage it, I can manage it."

好和尚，脫了褊衫，紮抹了手腳，掄著降妖寶杖，撲的一聲，分開水路，鑽入波中，大搭步行將進去。What a fine monk — he stripped off his robe, bound up his sleeves and trouser legs, and hefting his demon-quelling staff, plunged in with a splash, parting the waters, and strode with great steps down into the depths.正走處，只聽得有人言語。As he was walking along, he suddenly heard the sound of voices talking.沙僧閃在傍邊，偷睛觀看，那壁廂有一座亭臺，臺門外橫封了八個大字，乃是「衡陽峪黑水河神府」。Shaseng slipped to one side and, peering out, saw over there a pavilion with a hall, and across the gate outside hung a horizontal board with eight large characters sealed upon it, reading: "Palace of the Black Water River God, Hengyang Valley."又聽得那怪物坐在上面道：「一向辛苦，今日方能得物。He also heard the monster sitting within, saying, "After all this trouble, today I've finally got hold of my prize.這和尚乃十世修行的好人，但得吃他一塊肉，便做長生不老人。This monk has cultivated himself through ten incarnations and is a truly good man — if I can just eat a single piece of his flesh, I shall become a man of eternal life, never to grow old.我為他也等夠多時，今朝卻不負我志。」教：「小的們，快把鐵籠擡出來，將這兩個和尚囫圇蒸熟，具柬去請二舅爺來，與他暖壽。」沙僧聞言，按不住心頭火起，掣寶杖，將門亂打。I have waited for him this long while precisely for this, and today at last my ambition will not be denied." He then ordered, "You underlings, quickly fetch out the iron cage, steam these two monks whole until they're cooked through, and prepare an invitation to send to my Second Uncle, so he may join me in celebrating my birthday." When Shaseng heard this, he could not hold back the fire rising in his heart, and drawing his staff, he began pounding wildly at the gate.口中罵道：「那潑物，快送我唐僧師父與八戒師兄出來！」諕得那門內妖邪急跑去報：「禍事了。」老怪問：「甚麼禍事？」小妖道：「外面有一個晦氣色臉的和尚，打著前門罵，要人哩！」He cursed as he struck, "You vile creature, send my master Tang Seng and my brother Bajie out here at once!" This so frightened the demon minions inside the gate that they ran off to report, "Disaster!" The old demon asked, "What disaster?" The little demon said, "Outside there's a monk with a dark, unlucky-looking face pounding on the front gate and cursing, demanding people!"

沙僧氣呼呼跳出水來，見了行者道：「哥哥，這怪物無禮。」行者問道：「你下去許多時才出來，端的是甚妖邪？Shaseng, seething with anger, leapt up out of the water and, seeing Xingzhe, said, "Brother, that monster has no manners at all." Xingzhe asked, "You were down there so long before coming up — what exactly is this demon?可曾尋見師父？」沙僧道：「他這裡邊有一座亭臺，臺門外橫書八個大字，喚做『衡陽峪黑水河神府』。Did you manage to find our master?" Shaseng said, "Down there is a pavilion hall, and across the gate outside is written, in eight large characters, 'Palace of the Black Water River God, Hengyang Valley.'我閃在傍邊，聽他在裡面說話，教小的們刷洗鐵籠，待要把師父與八戒蒸熟了，去請他舅爺來暖壽。I slipped aside and listened to him talking within — he was ordering the underlings to scrub out the iron cage, meaning to steam Master and Bajie through and then invite his uncle to come celebrate his birthday.是我發起怒來，就去打門。That's when I flew into a rage and went to pound on the gate.那怪物提一條竹節鋼鞭走出來，與我鬥了這半日，約有三十合，不分勝負。The monster came out wielding a bamboo-jointed steel whip, and we fought for a good while — about thirty bouts — without either of us winning.我卻使個佯輸法，要引他出來，著你助陣。So I used a feigned-defeat trick, meaning to lure him out here so you could join the fight.那怪物乖得緊，他不來趕我，只要回去具柬請客。But the monster is far too cunning — he wouldn't chase after me, and only wanted to go back and prepare his invitations for his guests.我才上來了。」行者道：「不知是個甚麼妖邪？」沙僧道：「那模樣象像個大鱉；That's why I came up just now." Xingzhe said, "I wonder what sort of demon this could be?" Shaseng said, "In appearance he looks rather like a great soft-shelled turtle;不然，便是個鼉龍也。」行者道：「不知那個是他舅爺？」or else perhaps he is some kind of river dragon." Xingzhe said, "I wonder who this 'uncle' of his might be?"
