047Chapter 47

，，。Now the story turns to the king, who leaned against his dragon bed with tears gushing like springs, weeping without pause until nightfall.：「？Sun Wukong stepped forward and called out loudly, "How can you be so utterly confused?，，，。Look, there lie the corpses of those Daoists — one is a tiger, one is a deer, and that Yangli fellow is an antelope.，，？If you don't believe it, fish out the bones and look — where in the world does a human have bones like that?，，，。He was originally a mountain beast that had become a spirit, and joined forces with the others to come here and harm you; but seeing that your fortune was still strong, he dared not lay hands on you.，，，。Had two more years passed, once your fortune had waned, he would have taken your life, and your whole kingdom would have belonged to him entirely.，。Fortunately we arrived in time to root out the demon evil and save your life.？Why are you still crying?？What is there to cry about?，。」，。Quickly have the travel rescript prepared and send us on our way." Hearing this, the king at last came to his senses.：「、，。All the civil and military officials memorialized, "The dead are indeed a white deer and a yellow tiger, and in the cauldron of oil are truly sheep bones.，。」：「，。The holy monk's words must not go unheeded." The king said, "Since this is so, I am grateful to the holy monk.，」：「，。It is late today," he ordered, "Grand Preceptor, please escort the holy monk to Zhiyuan Temple for now.，，。」。Tomorrow at the morning audience, throw open the Eastern Pavilion, and have the Court of Imperial Entertainments prepare a vegetarian banquet to give thanks." And so they escorted them to the temple to rest for the night.

Wukong gave his body a shake and gathered back his hairs.：「，；He said to the ruler and ministers, monks and laity alike, "These monks were in truth set free by old Monkey;，，；the carts were moved through by old Monkey channeling the two passes and threading the spine-gap, then smashed to pieces;。and those two demon Daoists were also beaten to death by old Monkey.，。Now that the demon evil has been destroyed today, you finally know that the school of Chan has the Way.，。From now on, never again act recklessly or believe blindly.：，，。I hope you will unite the Three Teachings into one: revere monks, revere Daoists, and also nurture talented people.。」，，。Then I will guarantee your kingdom stands firm forever."

，。As the monk and the old man went on questioning and answering each other, the crowd at last stopped being afraid.，；Then they set a table at the head of the room and invited Tripitaka to sit in the place of honor;，；on either side they set three tables and invited the three disciples to sit;，。and in front they set one table, where the two old men sat.，、、、，。First they laid out vegetarian fruits and dishes, and then noodles, rice, snacks, and thin soup, all arranged neat and orderly.，《》。The elder Tripitaka raised his chopsticks, and first recited a passage of the "Sutra for Beginning the Meal."，，，，，。The idiot, partly out of impatience and partly because he was hungry, did not wait for Tripitaka to finish the sutra — he took up a red-lacquered wooden bowl, and with a splash dumped a whole bowl of white rice into his mouth, and it was gone just like that.：「，，，？」：「，。」：「，？」：「，；A young servant standing by said, "This old lord is quite careless — instead of holding it in his cheeks like a steamed bun, he's gone and stuffed the rice in like that — won't it soil his robes?" Bajie laughed and said, "I didn't stuff it, I ate it." The young servant said, "You never even opened your mouth to chew — how could you have eaten it?" Bajie said, "You young fellows are quick to call it a lie — I plainly ate it;，。」，。if you don't believe me, I'll eat another one for you to see." The young servants then brought another bowl, filled it, and handed it to Bajie.，。The idiot gave it a shake, and again it went down his mouth and vanished just like that.：「！The servants, seeing this, said, "Goodness, my lord!，。」，。Your throat must be built of polished brick, it's so smooth and slick." And by the time Tripitaka had not even finished reciting his one sutra, Bajie had already gone through five or six bowls.，。Only after that did they all take up their chopsticks together and eat the meal at the same time.、，，，：「，。」。The idiot, without distinguishing rice from noodles, fruit from snacks, simply scooped it all in and gobbled it down, all the while shouting, "More rice, more rice!" Gradually, less and less kept coming.：「，，，。」：「。Wukong called out, "Worthy brother, eat a bit less — it's already far better than starving in some mountain hollow; just about half full will do well enough." Bajie said, "Look at that face.：『，』。」：「，。」：「，，，。As the saying goes, 'To feed a monk and not fill him is worse than burying him alive.'" Wukong said, "Clear away the utensils, pay him no mind." The two old men bowed and said, "To be honest with you, my lord, in the daytime it wouldn't be a problem at all — even a big-bellied elder like this could be fed enough for a hundred or more.，，、，。It's just that it's late, and we had only what was left over from the rite — steamed about a picul of noodles and rice and five dou of plain rice, along with a few tables of vegetarian dishes, meaning to invite a few relatives and neighbors and the monks to share the blessing-feast.，，，。We never expected you gentlemen to arrive, and the fright of it sent all the monks running off, so that we did not even dare invite the relatives and neighbors, and everything has all been offered up to you gentlemen instead.，。」：「，。」If it's not enough, we'll have more steamed." Bajie said, "Steam more, then, steam more."

The old man said, "This year it falls exactly on my household.。There are a hundred households living here in this place.，。This place belongs under the jurisdiction of Yuanhui County in the Cheli Kingdom, and is called Chenjiazhuang.，、、。This Great King must be honored with a sacrifice once a year, requiring a boy and a girl, together with pigs, sheep, and sacrificial wine, to be offered up to him.，；Once he has eaten his fill, he guarantees us favorable winds and timely rains;，。」：「？」：「，！if we fail to make the sacrifice, he brings down calamity and disaster upon us." Xingzhe said, "How many sons do you have in your household?" The old man beat his chest and said, "Pitiful, pitiful!，。Don't even speak of sons — it shames us to death.，。This is my younger brother, named Chen Qing.。This unworthy old man is called Chen Cheng.，，。I am sixty-three this year, and he is fifty-eight, and both of us have had great difficulty with children.，，，，，，。」：「。At fifty I still had no son, so my relatives and friends urged me to take a concubine. Having no other choice, I found one, and she bore me a daughter, who has just turned eight this year; her name is Yichengjin." Bajie said, "What a fine name.？」：「，，，，，，。Why is she called Yichengjin?" The old man said, "Because I had such difficulty getting children, I built bridges and repaired roads, erected temples and towers, and gave alms to feed monks, keeping an account book of it all — so much spent here, so much spent there.，。By the year my daughter was born, it happened that I had spent exactly thirty catties of gold on such deeds.，。」：「？」：「，，，。」：「？」：「，，。Thirty catties makes one 'cheng' (a unit of weight), so she was named Yichengjin ('One Cheng of Gold')." Xingzhe said, "And is that boy his son?" The old man said, "My younger brother has a son, also born of a concubine, who is seven this year, named Chen Guanbao." Xingzhe asked, "Why was he given that name?" The old man said, "Our household worships Lord Guan the Sage, and because this son was obtained through prayer before Lord Guan's altar, he was named Guanbao ('Protected by Guan').，，，，。Between the two of us brothers, our combined age is one hundred and twenty, and these two children are all the offspring we have — yet unexpectedly the turn for the sacrifice has fallen on our household, so we dare not refuse to offer them up.，，。And so, unable to bear parting with them out of the love between father and son, we are first holding a rite for the children's release and rebirth.『』，。」That is why it is called a 'Rite Performed in Advance for the Dead' — this is the reason."

，：「：『，。』」：「。Hearing this, Sanzang could not hold back the tears streaming down his cheeks, and said, "This is truly as the ancients said: 'The ripe yellow plums do not fall, but the green plums do; Heaven above delights in harming those without sons.'"

The two old men said, "We have a fair amount: forty or fifty qing of paddy field, sixty or seventy qing of dry field, and eighty or ninety plots of pasture land;，，。two or three hundred head of water buffalo, twenty or thirty donkeys and horses, and countless pigs, sheep, chickens, and geese.，。Our household has more old grain stored than we could ever eat, and more clothing than we could ever wear.，。」：「，。」：「？」：「，？As for family wealth and property, it too is beyond counting." Xingzhe said, "With an estate as great as this, it must be thanks to your thrift that you built it up." The old man said, "How do you see that I am thrifty?" Xingzhe said, "If you already have such a fortune, how can you bear to give up your own flesh-and-blood children for the sacrifice?，；For fifty taels of silver you could buy a boy;，。for a hundred taels of silver you could buy a girl.，，？」：「，。Including all expenses, it would come to no more than two hundred taels in total, and you could keep your own children and descendants — wouldn't that be better?" The two old men, tears falling, said, "Sir, you do not understand.，。」：「，？That Great King is extremely responsive to prayer, and often comes walking about among our households." Xingzhe said, "When he comes walking about, what does his face look like when you see him?？」：「，，，，。And how tall or short is he?" The two old men said, "We never see his form; we only smell a gust of fragrant wind, and know at once that the Great King has come. We hurry to burn incense by the bushel, and young and old alike bow down toward the wind.，；He knows every detail of our households, down to the size of our spoons and bowls;，。he remembers the birth years and months of everyone, young and old.，。He will only accept and enjoy children who are of one's own flesh and blood.，，。」Never mind that two or three hundred taels could not buy such a thing — even several tens of millions of taels could not buy children exactly like one's own, born in the same year and month."

What it’s about

At the broad Heaven-Reaching River the pilgrims lodge in the Chen family village and find a household in mourning. Each year the Great King of Numinous Power demands a boy and a girl as sacrifices before he will send favorable weather, and this year the chosen children are Chen Cheng's son and his brother's daughter. Tripitaka grieves for them, while Wukong and Bajie offer to take their places and confront the supposed river god at his ritual feast.

The two disciples transform into the children and sit on the sacrificial tables. Wukong answers the demon's questions carefully, but Bajie grows impatient and swings his rake when the monster reaches for him. A battle erupts beside the river; the Great King escapes into the water and shuts his gates against them. The real children are saved, yet Tripitaka cannot cross the enormous current, so defeating the creature becomes inseparable from continuing the westward road.

When it was written 背景

This chapter opens the Heaven-Reaching River arc with one of the journey's clearest encounters between local religion and organized terror. The Chen families accept an annual loss because the monster controls the weather on which their farms depend, making the disciples' intervention both rescue and challenge to an established social order. Learners should keep the two children and their disguised substitutes distinct, and notice the mixture of compassion and comedy in Bajie's performance. The river is not merely scenery: its size first traps the community in sacrifice and will soon trap Tripitaka beneath the ice.
