The story goes that when the king saw that Sun Wukong possessed the power to summon dragons and command spirits, he stamped the travel rescript with the treasure seal and was about to hand it to Tang Seng, granting him passage west.The three Daoist priests, alarmed, prostrated themselves before the throne in the golden hall to submit a memorial.:「?」:「The emperor at once rose from his dragon throne and hastily reached out with his own hand to raise them up, saying, "Why does the National Preceptor perform such a great obeisance today?" The Daoist said, "Your Majesty, we came here to uphold the altars of state and protect the country and its people, laboring bitterly for twenty years — yet today this monk used magic power to snatch away the rain and cast it aside, ruining our reputation."Your Majesty, on the strength of a single rainfall you would pardon the crime of manslaughter — is that not making light of us??」:「?」:「。」:「We beg Your Majesty to withhold his travel rescript a while longer and let my brothers contend with him once more in a wager, to see how it turns out." The king, thoroughly muddled, swayed east when told east and west when told west, and indeed took back the rescript, saying, "National Preceptor, how will you contend with him?" Immortal Huli said, "I will wager with him at sitting in meditation." The king said, "There, National Preceptor, you are mistaken.?」:「。」:「?」:「。」That monk comes from a Chan background and surely already understands the workings of meditation before he dared receive the imperial edict to seek scriptures — how can you wager with him on that?" The Immortal said, "This sitting meditation of mine is no ordinary kind; it has a special name — it is called 'Ascending the Cloud Ladder to Manifest Sagehood.'" The king said, "What is meant by 'Ascending the Cloud Ladder to Manifest Sagehood'?" The Immortal said, "We need a hundred tables. Fifty tables will form one meditation platform, stacked one upon another, and one may not climb up by hand nor mount by ladder or stool — each rides up on a cloud of his own and sits atop the platform, agreeing to remain motionless for a set number of hours."

话说那国王见孙行者有呼龙使圣之法,即将关文用了宝印,便要递与唐僧,放行西路。那三个道士慌得拜倒在金銮殿上启奏。那皇帝即下龙位,御手忙搀道:「国师今日行此大礼,何也?」道士说:「陛下,我等至此匡扶社稷,保国安民,苦历二十年来今日这和尚弄法力,抓了丢去,败了我们声名。陛下以一场之雨,就恕杀人之罪,可不轻了我等也?望陛下且留住他的关文,让我兄弟与他再赌一赌,看是何如?」那国王著实昏乱,东说向东,西说向西,真个收了关文,道:「国师,你怎么与他赌?」虎力大仙道:「我与他赌坐禅。」国王道:「国师差矣。那和尚乃禅教出身,必然先会禅机,才敢奉旨求经,你怎与他赌此?」大仙道:「我这坐禅,比常不同,有一异名,教做云梯显圣。」国王道:「何为云梯显圣?」大仙道:「要一百张桌子,五十张作一禅台,一张一张叠将起去,不许手攀而上,亦不用梯凳而登,各驾一朵云头,上台坐下,约定几个时辰不动。」

:「?」The king saw that this posed some difficulty, and so sent word to ask, "Monk, my National Preceptor wishes to wager with you at 'Ascending the Cloud Ladder to Manifest Sagehood' in sitting meditation — can anyone among you do this?" Hearing this, Xingzhe fell silent and did not answer.:「?」:「Bajie said, "Elder brother, why do you say nothing?" Xingzhe said, "Brother, to tell you the truth—if it's kicking heaven or stirring up wells, churning the sea or overturning rivers, carrying mountains or chasing the moon, swapping the Dipper or shifting the stars, and all such clever feats, I can do every one of them;even having my head chopped off, my brains hacked out, my belly split open, or my heart gouged out, and all manner of strange contortions, I fear none of it;but when it comes to sitting in meditation, I would lose.Where would I ever get the patience to sit still?。」:「。」:「Even if you chained me to an iron pillar, I would still scramble up and down — there's no hope of my sitting still." Sanzang suddenly spoke up, "I can sit in meditation." Xingzhe said joyfully, "Excellent, excellent.?」:「。」:「How long can you sit?" Sanzang said, "In my youth I met itinerant Chan monks who preached the Way, and as for stabilizing one's nature and preserving the spirit at the very root of life, within the pass between life and death, I once sat for two or three years." Xingzhe said, "Master, if you sit for two or three years, we might as well give up fetching the scriptures.。」:「。」:「。」At most, in no more than two or three hours, you'll come down again." Sanzang said, "Disciple, ah, but I cannot get up there." Xingzhe said, "You step forward and answer him — I will send you up."

那虎力大仙下殿,立于阶心,将身一纵,踏一朵席云,径上西边台上坐下。行者拔一根毫毛,变做假像,陪著八戒、沙僧,立于下面;他却作五色祥云,把唐僧撮起空中,径至东边台上坐下;他又敛祥光,变作一个蟭蟟虫,飞在八戒耳朵边道:「兄弟,仔细看著师父,再莫与老孙替身说话。」那呆子笑道:「理会得,理会得。」

Meanwhile Immortal Luli, seated on an embroidered stool, watched for a long while; when the two of them on the high platforms remained evenly matched, this Daoist decided to lend his elder brother a hand: he plucked a single short hair from the back of his head, rolled it into a little ball, and flicked it upward, straight to the top of Tang Seng's head, where it turned into a large stinkbug and bit the elder.At first the elder felt an itch, and then he felt pain.Now, one who sits in meditation is not allowed to move his hands — to move a hand counts as losing.After a while the pain became unbearable, and he drew in his head and rubbed at the itch with the hem of his robe.:「。」:「。」:「Bajie said, "This is bad — the master's fit of epilepsy has come on." Sha Seng said, "No, it's a wind-affliction of the head." Xingzhe, hearing this, said, "My master is a man of utter sincerity; if he said he could sit in meditation, then he surely can;if he said he could not, then he simply could not.How could a gentleman speak falsely?。」The two of you say nothing more — let me go up and take a look."

This Xingzhe flew up, dropped down from the beast-head ornament on the golden hall, shook himself, and turned into a centipede seven inches long, going straight to bite the Daoist in the hollow of his nose.The Daoist could not hold his seat, turned a somersault, and tumbled down, nearly losing his life; fortunately the many officials, high and low, rushed to save him.The king, greatly alarmed, at once ordered the Grand Tutor in attendance to take him to the Wenhua Hall to be washed and groomed.Xingzhe, still riding his auspicious cloud, carried his master down before the steps — by now the elder had won the match.

The king wished only to let them pass.:「Immortal Luli again submitted, "Your Majesty, my elder brother has always suffered a hidden wind ailment; because he went up to such a height and was struck by the heavenly wind, his old illness flared up, and that is why the monk seemed to win.。」:「』?」:「Let him be kept here a while longer, and let me wager with him at 'Guessing Objects Through a Partition.'" The king said, "What is meant by 'Guessing Objects Through a Partition'?" Luli said, "This poor Daoist has the art of knowing objects through a partition — let us see whether that monk is capable of it.If he guesses correctly against me, let him go free;。」if he cannot guess it, then let Your Majesty judge and sentence him as you see fit, to wash away the grievance of my brothers, so that our twenty years of service in protecting the realm shall not be sullied." The king, utterly muddled indeed, followed this slanderous counsel and at once issued an order: a vermillion lacquered cabinet was to be carried by the palace attendants into the hall.He had the Empress place a treasure inside it.:「。」In a moment it was carried out and set before the white jade steps, and the monk and the Daoist were told, "The two of you shall each wager your powers, guessing what treasure lies within this cabinet."

:「。」:「。」:「。」:「!」Tang Seng stepped forward, about to make his guess, when Immortal Luli said, "Let me guess first — inside the cabinet is a jacket embroidered with mountains, rivers, and the altars of state, and a skirt patterned with the earth and its geography." Tang Seng said, "No, no — inside the cabinet is a tattered, dripping, cracked bell." The king said, "This monk is insolent! How dare he mock our kingdom as having no treasures, guessing something like a 'dripping cracked bell.'" He ordered, "Seize him!" The two ranks of guard officers were about to lay hands on him.:「Tang Seng, alarmed, pressed his palms together and cried aloud, "Your Majesty, pray pardon this poor monk a moment longer, and let the cabinet be opened to see.If it truly is a treasure, this poor monk will accept the punishment;?」but if it is not a treasure, would that not be a great injustice done to this poor monk?" The king ordered the cabinet opened to look.The attending official at once opened it, lifted out the vermillion tray to look, and indeed it was a tattered, dripping, cracked bell.:「?」:「?」:「The king, enraged, said, "Who put this thing inside?" From behind the dragon throne the Third Consort Empress stepped forward and said, "My lord, it was I, your consort, who placed inside with my own hands the jacket embroidered with mountains, rivers, and the altars of state, and the skirt patterned with the earth and its geography — how it came to change into this thing, I do not know." The king said, "My royal consort, please withdraw — I understand it myself.?」:「。」The things used within the palace are nothing but silks and damasks and gauzes — where would there be any such 'dripping cracked bell'?" He ordered, "Carry the cabinet up again, and let me myself hide a treasure inside, to test him once more." The emperor then went back to the rear palace, and from the immortal peach tree in the imperial garden he picked a great peach, as large as a bowl, and placed it inside the cabinet, then had it carried out again for the guessing.

The elder said, "Disciple, ah, don't play tricks on me.Earlier it was only because I spoke too hastily that I nearly went to the executioner.This time we must guess a real treasure for it to go well.?」:「。」What sort of treasure is a peach pit?" Xingzhe said, "Don't be afraid — just be sure to beat him, that's all."

:「。」:「。」:「Just as Sanzang was about to speak, he heard Immortal Yangli say, "This poor Daoist will guess first — it is an immortal peach." Sanzang guessed, "It is not a peach — it is a bare, fleshless peach pit." The king shouted, "It was an immortal peach that I myself placed inside — how could it be a pit?。」:「。」The Third National Preceptor has guessed correctly." Sanzang said, "Your Majesty, simply open it and look." The attending official again carried it up and opened it, lifting out the vermillion tray, and indeed it was a pit, with neither skin nor flesh remaining.:「Seeing this, the king's heart was shaken, and he said, "National Preceptors, stop contending with him — let him go.The immortal peach I hid with my own hands has become nothing but a pit — who could have eaten it?。」:「。」It must be that spirits and ghosts are secretly aiding him." Hearing this, Bajie said to Sha Seng with a faint, cold smile, "Little do they know he's an old hand at eating peaches."

:「!」:「。」Sanzang said, "Here it comes again!" Xingzhe said, "Let me go take another look." With a buzz he flew off again, wriggled inside, and saw it was a young boy.Good Great Sage — he had resourcefulness indeed; truly, such shape-shifting skill is rare under heaven, and such cleverness as his is seldom found in this world.:「。」:「?」:「。」:「?」:「He shook himself and changed into the likeness of an old Daoist priest, entered the cabinet, and called out, "Disciple." The boy said, "Master, where have you come from?" Xingzhe said, "I came by a technique of escape." The boy said, "What instructions have you come to give me?" Xingzhe said, "That monk saw you go into the cabinet — if he guesses it's a Daoist boy, then we shall lose again, shan't we?。」:「So I have come especially to talk it over with you: let us shave your head, and we'll have him guess 'monk' instead." The boy said, "Whatever the master decides, so long as we beat him;。」:「if we lose to him again, not only will our reputation suffer, but I fear the court will no longer hold us in respect." Xingzhe said, "Well said.。」:「。」Come here, my child — win this for me and I will reward you handsomely." He then changed his gold-banded cudgel into a razor, and embracing the boy, said, "There, there, bear the pain and don't cry out — let me shave your head for you." In a moment the hair was shaved off; he balled it up and stuffed it into a crevice at the foot of the cabinet.:「He put away the razor, felt the boy's bare shaven head, and said, "My child, your head now looks like a monk's, only your clothes don't match.。」Take them off, and I will transform them for you." The Daoist boy was wearing a scallion-green cloud-patterned robe of embroidered silk trimmed with brocade, a crane-feather cloak — and indeed he took it off.:「!」Xingzhe blew a breath of immortal breath upon it and cried, "Change!" — and it at once turned into an earthen-yellow monk's robe, which he put on the boy.:「He then plucked two more hairs and changed them into a wooden fish, placing it in the boy's hands, and said, "Disciple, listen carefully: if they call out 'Daoist boy,' whatever you do, do not come out;。」:「》、《》、《》,。」:「?」:「?」:「if they call out 'monk,' then push open the cabinet lid for me, strike the wooden fish, chant a scripture of the Buddhist faith, and crawl out — only then will our plan succeed." The boy said, "I only know how to chant the Scripture of the Three Officials, the Scripture of the Northern Dipper, and the Scripture for Averting Calamity — I don't know any Buddhist scripture." Xingzhe said, "Can you chant the Buddha's name?" The boy said, "Amitabha — who doesn't know how to chant that?" Xingzhe said, "Very well then, just chant that, and it will spare me teaching you further.。」:「。」:「。」:「?」:「:『。』。」Remember it well — I am going now." He again turned into a gnat, crawled out, and flew to Tang Seng's earlobe, saying, "Master, just guess it's a monk." Sanzang said, "This time he is certain to win." Xingzhe said, "How can you be so sure?" Sanzang said, "The scriptures say, 'The Three Treasures are the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.' A monk too is a treasure."

一声传旨,即有羽林军三千,摆列朝门之外。国王教:「和尚先去砍头。」行者欣然应道:「我先去,我先去。」拱著手,高呼道:「国师,恕大胆,占先了。」拽回头,往外就走。唐僧一把扯住道:「徒弟呀,仔细些,那里不是耍处。」行者道:「怕他怎的?撒了手,等我去来。」

:「!」The Great Sage went straight to the execution ground, where he was seized by the executioners, bound into a tight bundle, and pressed down upon the high earthen mound; then came a shout, "Behead him!" and with a whoosh the head was cut clean off.The executioner then gave it a kick, and it went rolling off like a rolling watermelon, tumbling some thirty or forty paces away.From the stump of Xingzhe's neck, not a drop of blood flowed.:「!」:「。」Only a voice was heard calling from within his belly, "Head, come back!" Immortal Luli, seeing such skill, was alarmed, and at once recited an incantation, summoning the local land-gods and spirits of that place: "Hold that head fast, and once I have beaten this monk and reported it to the king, I will have your little shrine rebuilt into a great temple, and your clay image remade into a true golden form." Now, because Huli possessed the Five Thunders magic, these local land-gods and spirits were also obliged to obey his commands, and secretly they truly did hold Xingzhe's head down.:「!」Xingzhe called out again, "Head, come back!" but the head seemed to have taken root — there was no hope of moving it.:「!」Xingzhe, anxious now, clenched his fists and gave a mighty heave, snapping every one of the ropes that bound him, and shouted, "Grow!" — with a whoosh a new head grew out from the stump of his neck.This so terrified the executioners that every one of their hearts quailed, and the Imperial Guardsmen trembled to a man.:「。」:「。」:「。」The supervising official of the execution rushed into the court to report, "Your Majesty, that little monk was beheaded, and yet another head has grown out." Bajie said with a cold laugh, "Sha Seng, who would have known elder brother had such skill as this?" Sha Seng said, "He has seventy-two transformations — so he could grow seventy-two heads if he liked."

The idiot reached out and felt, then broke into a foolish, wide-eyed grin, "Marvelous, marvelous!。」It's grown back whole and complete — there isn't even the trace of a scar."

:「。」:「。」:「?」:「。」:「。」:「。」Alarmed, the ranks of civil and military officials rushed forward to report: "Your Majesty, that monk did not die after all — he has climbed out of the oil cauldron again." The supervising officer, afraid of having deceived the court, hastily reported instead: "He did indeed die — it's only that the date was inauspicious, and the little monk has come to manifest his spirit." Hearing this, Xingzhe flew into a rage, leapt out of the cauldron, wiped off the grease, put on his clothes, drew out his cudgel, seized the supervising officer, and struck him once on the head, beating him into a lump of flesh, saying, "What spirit am I manifesting?" This so frightened the many officials that they hurriedly untied Bajie and knelt on the ground pleading, "Forgive us, forgive us." The king rose from his dragon throne to flee, but Xingzhe went up into the hall and caught hold of him, saying, "Your Majesty, do not run off — let your Third National Teacher go down into the oil cauldron too." Trembling with fear, the emperor said, "Third National Teacher, save my life — go down into the cauldron quickly, and don't let the monk strike me."

慌得那两班文武上前来奏道:「万岁,那和尚不曾死,又在油锅里钻出来了。」监斩官恐怕虚诳朝廷,却又奏道:「死是死了,只是日期犯凶,小和尚来显魂哩。」行者闻言大怒,跳出锅来,揩了油腻,穿上衣服,掣出棒,挝过监斩官,著头一下,打做了肉团,道:「我显甚么魂哩?」諕得多官连忙解了八戒,跪地哀告:「恕罪,恕罪。」国王走下龙座,行者上殿扯住道:「陛下不要走,且教你三国师也下下油锅去。」那皇帝战战兢兢道:「三国师,你救朕之命,快下锅去,莫教和尚打我。」

Yangli went down from the hall and, following Xingzhe's example, took off his clothes, jumped into the oil cauldron, and likewise made a show of bathing in it.Xingzhe let go of the king, went near the edge of the oil cauldron, and called for the fire-tender to add more wood.Then he reached out his hand and felt about — ah!The boiling oil was completely ice-cold.:「He thought to himself in secret, "When I bathed it was scalding hot, but when he bathes it is cold.。」:「I understand now — this must be some Dragon King, unknown to me, protecting him here." He at once sprang up into the air, recited the mantra syllable "Om," and summoned the Dragon King of the North Sea: "You, you horned earthworm, you scaled loach!?」:「How dare you help this Daoist, sending a cold dragon to guard the bottom of the cauldron, so that he might show off his powers and defeat me?" Frightened, the Dragon King said again and again, "I, Ao Shun, would not dare to help him.Great Sage, you must not know — this wretched creature underwent bitter cultivation for a time and managed to shed his original shell, but he only truly received the Five Thunder Method; the rest he picked up from deviant sideline paths, and it is hard for him to return to the true immortal Way.』。This trick is the 'Great Flaying' technique he learned on Xiaomao Mountain.Those other two — the Great Sage has already broken their magic and made them reveal their true forms.This one too has refined a cold dragon of his own, which can only fool ordinary worldly people for sport — how could it deceive the Great Sage?。」:「。」I, this lesser dragon, will now take back his cold dragon, and see to it that his bones are crushed and his skin scorched." Xingzhe said, "Take it back at once, and spare yourself a beating." The Dragon King then turned into a whirlwind, went to the edge of the oil cauldron, seized the cold dragon, and carried it down to the sea — no more of that need be told.

What it’s about

After Tripitaka wins the rain contest, the Daoist preceptors demand further trials. In a contest of meditation, Tripitaka and Tiger-Power sit aloft on platforms, but the Daoists send insects to disturb the monk. Wukong protects his master and retaliates by making the Daoist fall. He then helps Tripitaka identify objects hidden behind screens after the opponents secretly replace them, defeating their attempt to turn prediction into a rigged court spectacle.

The contests become openly lethal. Tiger-Power proposes beheading, Deer-Power disembowelment and Antelope-Power an oil bath, each relying on occult protections to restore himself. Wukong survives all three ordeals and quietly prevents his rivals' recoveries: the tiger cannot reclaim his head, the deer loses the power to rejoin his organs, and the antelope is boiled when the cooling dragon is driven away. Their animal bodies appear at death, and the chastened king releases the Buddhists and approves the pilgrims' journey.

When it was written 背景

This 回 closes the Cart-Slow arc by escalating performance into mortal proof. Wukong does not win because bodily mutilation is harmless; he wins because his transformations and celestial status exceed the borrowed techniques on which the three animal spirits depend. The revelation of their carcasses retrospectively answers the kingdom's argument about true teachers, though the earlier persecution remains a human political failure as well as demonic deceit. Learners should read the rapid contests as a cumulative sequence and note how cheating occurs on both sides, complicating any simple contrast between pure and false magic.
