話表孫大聖在老魔肚裡支吾一會，那魔頭倒在塵埃，無聲無氣，若不言語，想是死了，卻又把手放放。The story tells how Great Sage Sun, inside the old demon king's belly, kept up his mischief for a while; the demon king toppled to the ground, without sound or breath, and but for the fact that he did not speak, one would have thought him dead — yet still he moved his hand now and again.魔頭回過氣來，叫一聲：「大慈大悲齊天大聖菩薩。」行者聽見道：「兒子，莫廢工夫，省幾個字兒，只叫孫外公罷。」那妖魔惜命，真個叫：「外公，外公，是我的不是了。When the demon king recovered his breath, he cried out: "Great Compassionate, Great Merciful Bodhisattva Equal to Heaven!" Hearing this, Wukong said: "My child, don't waste your breath — save a few words and just call me Grandfather Sun." That demon, loving his own life, truly did call out: "Grandfather, Grandfather, it was my fault.一差二誤吞了你，你如今卻反害我。By one mistake and one blunder I swallowed you, and now instead you are doing me harm.萬望大聖慈悲，可憐螻蟻貪生之意，饒了我命，願送你師父過山也。」大聖雖英雄，甚為唐僧進步。I beg the Great Sage, in his mercy, to take pity on this ant-like creature's craving for life, and spare me, and I will gladly carry your master over the mountain." Though the Great Sage was a hero, he was greatly concerned about Tang Seng's progress on the journey.他見妖魔哀告，好奉承的人，也就回了善念，叫道：「妖怪，我饒你，你怎麼送我師父？」老魔道：「我這裡也沒甚麼金銀、珠翠、瑪瑙、珊瑚、琉璃、琥珀、玳瑁珍奇之寶相送。Seeing the demon's pitiful pleading, and being one who liked to be flattered, he let his good will return, and said: "Demon, I will spare you — but how will you carry my master?" The old demon said: "I have here no gold, silver, pearls, kingfisher feathers, agate, coral, glass, amber, hawksbill, or other rare treasures to give you.我兄弟三個擡一乘香藤轎兒，把你師父送過此山。」行者笑道：「既是擡轎相送，強如要寶。But my two brothers and I will carry a sedan chair woven of fragrant rattan and bear your master across this mountain." Wukong laughed and said: "If you're offering to carry him in a sedan chair, that's better than treasure.你張開口，我出來。」那魔頭真個就張開口。Open your mouth, and I'll come out." The demon truly opened his mouth wide.那三魔走近前，悄悄的對老魔道：「大哥，等他出來時，把口往下一咬，將猴兒嚼碎，嚥下肚，卻不得磨害你了。」The third demon crept close and whispered to the old demon: "Big brother, when he comes out, snap your jaws down on him and chew that monkey to bits, then swallow him — then he'll never be able to torment you again."

话表孙大圣在老魔肚里支吾一会，那魔头倒在尘埃，无声无气，若不言语，想是死了，却又把手放放。魔头回过气来，叫一声：「大慈大悲齐天大圣菩萨。」行者听见道：「儿子，莫废工夫，省几个字儿，只叫孙外公罢。」那妖魔惜命，真个叫：「外公，外公，是我的不是了。一差二误吞了你，你如今却反害我。万望大圣慈悲，可怜蝼蚁贪生之意，饶了我命，愿送你师父过山也。」大圣虽英雄，甚为唐僧进步。他见妖魔哀告，好奉承的人，也就回了善念，叫道：「妖怪，我饶你，你怎么送我师父？」老魔道：「我这里也没甚么金银、珠翠、玛瑙、珊瑚、琉璃、琥珀、玳瑁珍奇之宝相送。我兄弟三个抬一乘香藤轿儿，把你师父送过此山。」行者笑道：「既是抬轿相送，强如要宝。你张开口，我出来。」那魔头真个就张开口。那三魔走近前，悄悄的对老魔道：「大哥，等他出来时，把口往下一咬，将猴儿嚼碎，咽下肚，却不得磨害你了。」

原來行者在裡面聽得，便不先出去，卻把金箍棒伸出，試他一試。As it happened, Wukong, inside, heard this clearly, so he did not come out first, but instead thrust out his golden-hooped rod to test him.那怪果往下一口，扢喳的一聲，把個門牙都迸碎了。The demon indeed bit down hard, and with a crunching sound, he shattered his own front teeth.行者抽回棒道：「好妖怪，我倒饒你性命出來，你反咬我，要害我命。Wukong pulled back the rod and said: "Fine demon indeed! I was ready to spare your life and come out, and instead you bite at me, trying to take my life.我不出來，活活的只弄殺你。If I don't come out, I'll simply torment you to death, little by little.不出來，不出來。」老魔報怨三魔道：「兄弟，你是自家人弄自家人了。I won't come out, I won't come out." The old demon reproached the third demon: "Brother, you've turned one of our own against another.且是請他出來好了，你卻教我咬他。We ought simply to invite him out politely, yet you told me to bite him.他倒不曾咬著，卻迸得我牙齦疼痛。He wasn't bitten at all, but instead I've cracked my own gums in pain.這是怎麼起的？」How did this come about?"

原来行者在里面听得，便不先出去，却把金箍棒伸出，试他一试。那怪果往下一口，扢喳的一声，把个门牙都迸碎了。行者抽回棒道：「好妖怪，我倒饶你性命出来，你反咬我，要害我命。我不出来，活活的只弄杀你。不出来，不出来。」老魔报怨三魔道：「兄弟，你是自家人弄自家人了。且是请他出来好了，你却教我咬他。他倒不曾咬著，却迸得我牙龈疼痛。这是怎么起的？」

三魔見老魔怪他，他又作個激將法，厲聲高叫道：「孫行者，聞你名如轟雷貫耳，說你在南天門外施威，靈霄殿下逞勢，如今在西天路上降妖縛怪，原來是個小輩的猴頭。」行者道：「我何為小輩？」三怪道：「『好看千里客，萬里去傳名。』你出來，我與你賭鬥，才是好漢。Seeing the old demon blame him, the third demon resorted to a taunting trick, and shouted loudly: "Sun Wukong! I have heard your name ring like thunder in my ears — they say you displayed your might outside the South Heaven Gate and threw your weight around beneath the Hall of Miraculous Mist, and now on the road to the West you subdue demons and bind monsters — but it turns out you're just a small-fry monkey-head after all." Wukong said: "How am I small-fry?" The third demon said: "'A fine sight draws travelers from a thousand li; one's name should travel ten thousand li.' Come out and fight me — that would make you a real man.怎麼在人肚裡做勾當？How can you go about your business inside a person's belly?非小輩而何？」行者聞言，心中暗想道：「是是是。If that's not small-fry, what is?" Hearing this, Wukong thought secretly to himself: "True, true, true.我若如今扯斷他腸，揌破他肝，弄殺這怪，有何難哉？If I were now to tear apart his intestines and mash his liver and finish off this demon, what difficulty would there be in that?但真是壞了我的名頭。But it would truly ruin my reputation.也罷，也罷，你張口，我出來與你比併。Very well, very well — open your mouth, and I'll come out and settle this with you in a proper match.但只是你這洞口窄逼，不好使家火，須往寬處去。」三魔聞說，即點大小怪，前前後後，有三萬多精，都執著精銳器械，出洞擺開一個三才陣勢，專等行者出口，一齊上陣。But the mouth of your cave is too narrow and cramped — not good for wielding weapons. We must go to a more open place." Hearing this, the third demon at once mustered his greater and lesser demons, front and rear, more than thirty thousand of them, all wielding sharp, formidable weapons, and marched out of the cave to form a Three-Powers battle formation, waiting only for Wukong to emerge from the mouth before all charging together.那二怪攙著老魔，徑至門外，叫道：「孫行者，好漢出來，此間有戰場，好鬥。」The second and third demons supported the old demon and went straight to the cave gate, calling out: "Sun Wukong, good fellow, come out! Here is a battlefield fit for a fine fight."

大聖在他肚裡，聞得外面鴉鳴鵲噪，鶴唳風聲，知道是寬闊之處。The Great Sage, inside his belly, heard crows cawing and magpies chattering outside, and cranes crying on the wind, and knew this was an open, spacious place.卻想著：「我不出去，是失信與他；He thought to himself: "If I don't go out, I break faith with him;若出去，這妖精人面獸心：先時說送我師父，哄我出來咬我，今又調兵在此。but if I do go out — this demon has a human face but a beast's heart: earlier he said he'd carry my master, only to lure me out and bite me, and now he has mustered troops here again.也罷，也罷，與他個兩全其美：出去便出去，還與他肚裡生下一個根兒。」即轉手，將尾上毫毛拔了一根，吹口仙氣，叫：「變！」即變一條繩兒，只有頭髮粗細，倒有四十丈長短。Very well, very well — I'll give him a plan that serves both purposes: I'll go out as agreed, but I'll also leave a root planted in his belly." With that he reached back, plucked a hair from his tail, blew a breath of magic breath onto it, and cried "Change!" — it at once turned into a cord no thicker than a strand of hair, yet a good forty zhang long.那繩兒理出去，見風就長粗了。As the cord was played out, it grew thicker the moment it met the air.把一頭拴在妖怪的心肝上，打做個活扣兒。He tied one end around the demon's heart and liver, forming it into a slipknot.那扣兒不扯不緊，扯緊就痛。If the knot was not pulled, it stayed loose; but the moment it was pulled, it caused pain.卻拿著一頭，笑道：「這一出去，他送我師父便罷；Holding the other end, he laughed and said: "Once I go out, if he sends off my master, well and good;如若不送，亂動刀兵，我也沒工夫與他打，只消扯此繩兒，就如我在肚裡一般。」又將身子變得小小的，往外爬。but if he doesn't, and instead stirs up his troops and weapons, I won't even bother fighting him — I need only tug this cord, and it will be just as if I were still inside his belly." Then he shrank his body down small and crawled toward the opening.爬到咽喉之下，見妖精大張著方口，上下鋼牙排如利刃，忽思量道：「不好，不好。Crawling down to beneath the throat, he saw the demon's mouth gaping wide open, with sharp steel teeth set top and bottom like knife blades, and he suddenly thought: "No good, no good.若從口裡出去扯這繩兒，他怕疼，往下一嚼，卻不咬斷了？If I go out through his mouth pulling this cord, he'll fear the pain and snap his jaws down — won't that bite the cord in two?我打他沒牙齒的所在出去。」好大聖，理著繩兒，從他那上齶子往前爬，爬到他鼻孔裡。I'll go out where there are no teeth." The fine Great Sage, holding the cord, crawled forward along the roof of the demon's mouth, up to his nasal passage.那老魔鼻子發癢，阿啛的一聲，打了個噴嚏，直迸出行者。The old demon's nose began to itch, and with an "Achoo!" he sneezed, and out shot Wukong.

大圣在他肚里，闻得外面鸦鸣鹊噪，鹤唳风声，知道是宽阔之处。却想著：「我不出去，是失信与他；若出去，这妖精人面兽心：先时说送我师父，哄我出来咬我，今又调兵在此。也罢，也罢，与他个两全其美：出去便出去，还与他肚里生下一个根儿。」即转手，将尾上毫毛拔了一根，吹口仙气，叫：「变！」即变一条绳儿，只有头发粗细，倒有四十丈长短。那绳儿理出去，见风就长粗了。把一头拴在妖怪的心肝上，打做个活扣儿。那扣儿不扯不紧，扯紧就痛。却拿著一头，笑道：「这一出去，他送我师父便罢；如若不送，乱动刀兵，我也没工夫与他打，只消扯此绳儿，就如我在肚里一般。」又将身子变得小小的，往外爬。爬到咽喉之下，见妖精大张著方口，上下钢牙排如利刃，忽思量道：「不好，不好。若从口里出去扯这绳儿，他怕疼，往下一嚼，却不咬断了？我打他没牙齿的所在出去。」好大圣，理著绳儿，从他那上腭子往前爬，爬到他鼻孔里。那老魔鼻子发痒，阿啛的一声，打了个喷嚏，直迸出行者。

行者見了風，把腰躬一躬，就長了有三丈長短，一隻手扯著繩兒，一隻手拿著鐵棒。Feeling the wind on him, Wukong arched his back once, and at once grew to some three zhang tall, one hand gripping the cord, the other holding his iron rod.那魔頭不知好歹，見他出來了，就舉鋼刀，劈臉來砍。The demon, not knowing better, seeing him emerge, raised his steel blade and slashed straight at his face.這大聖一隻手使鐵棒相迎。The Great Sage met it with his iron rod in one hand.又見那二怪使槍，三怪使戟，沒頭沒臉的亂上。Then he saw the second demon wielding a spear and the third demon a halberd, coming at him wildly, heedless of head or face.大聖放鬆了繩，收了鐵棒，急縱身駕雲走了。The Great Sage let the cord go slack, put away his iron rod, and swiftly leapt onto a cloud and fled.原來怕那夥小妖圍繞，不好幹事。This was because he feared being surrounded by that horde of lesser demons, which would make it hard to accomplish anything.他卻跳出營外，去那空闊山頭上，落下雲，雙手把繩盡力一扯，老魔心裡才疼。He leapt out beyond their camp, to an open mountain peak, brought his cloud down, and with both hands pulled the cord with all his strength — only then did pain strike the old demon's heart.他害疼，往上一掙，大聖復往下一扯。Suffering the pain, the demon lurched upward to struggle free, and the Great Sage pulled downward again.眾小妖遠遠看見，齊聲高叫道：「大王，莫惹他，讓他去罷。The lesser demons, watching from afar, all cried out together: "Great King, don't provoke him — just let him go.這猴兒不按時景：清明還未到，他卻那裡放風箏也。」大聖聞言，著力氣蹬了一蹬。This monkey doesn't observe the proper season: Qingming hasn't even come yet, and there he is flying a kite!" Hearing this, the Great Sage put his strength into one more hard stamp.那老魔從空中拍剌剌，似紡車兒一般跌落塵埃。The old demon came tumbling from midair with a whoosh, spinning like a spinning wheel, and crashed down into the dust.就把那山坡下死硬的黃土跌做個二尺淺深之坑。He fell straight into the hard, packed yellow earth at the foot of the mountain slope, smashing out a pit two chi deep.

行者见了风，把腰躬一躬，就长了有三丈长短，一只手扯著绳儿，一只手拿著铁棒。那魔头不知好歹，见他出来了，就举钢刀，劈脸来砍。这大圣一只手使铁棒相迎。又见那二怪使枪，三怪使戟，没头没脸的乱上。大圣放松了绳，收了铁棒，急纵身驾云走了。原来怕那伙小妖围绕，不好干事。他却跳出营外，去那空阔山头上，落下云，双手把绳尽力一扯，老魔心里才疼。他害疼，往上一挣，大圣复往下一扯。众小妖远远看见，齐声高叫道：「大王，莫惹他，让他去罢。这猴儿不按时景：清明还未到，他却那里放风筝也。」大圣闻言，著力气蹬了一蹬。那老魔从空中拍剌剌，似纺车儿一般跌落尘埃。就把那山坡下死硬的黄土跌做个二尺浅深之坑。

慌得那二怪、三怪一齊按下雲頭，上前扯住繩兒，跪在坡下，哀告道：「大聖啊，只說你是個寬洪海量之仙，誰知是個鼠腹蝸腸之輩。In alarm, the second and third demons both brought their clouds down together, rushed forward and grabbed hold of the cord, and knelt at the foot of the slope, pleading pitifully: "Great Sage, ah — we always said you were an immortal of broad and generous heart, who would have known you were a creature with the belly of a mouse and the guts of a snail.實實的哄你出來，與你見陣，不期你在我家兄心上拴了一根繩子。」行者笑道：「你這夥潑魔，十分無禮。We truly did lure you out to face us in battle, never expecting you would tie a cord to our elder brother's heart." Wukong laughed and said: "You pack of vile demons are utterly without manners.前番哄我出來就咬我，這番哄我出來卻又擺陣敵我。The first time, you lured me out only to bite me; this time, you lured me out only to array troops against me.似這幾萬妖兵戰我一個，理上也不通。For several tens of thousands of demon soldiers to fight me alone — that isn't reasonable by any standard.扯了去，扯了去見我師父。」那怪一齊叩頭道：「大聖慈悲，饒我性命，願送老師父過山。」行者笑道：「你要性命，只消拿刀把繩子割斷罷了。」老魔道：「爺爺呀！Pull him along, pull him along, to see my master." The demons all kowtowed together, saying: "Great Sage, in your mercy, spare our lives, and we will gladly carry the venerable master over the mountain." Wukong laughed and said: "If you want your lives, you need only take a knife and cut the cord." The old demon said: "Grandfather, oh!割斷外邊的，這裡邊的拴在心上，喉嚨裡又㮇㮇的惡心，怎生是好？」行者道：「既如此，張開口，等我再進去解出繩來。」老魔慌了道：「這一進去，又不肯出來，卻難也，卻難也。」行者道：「我有本事外邊就可以解得裡面繩頭也。If you cut the outer part, the inner end is still tied to my heart, and my throat feels sickeningly ticklish inside — what am I to do?" Wukong said: "In that case, open your mouth, and let me go back in to untie the cord." The old demon panicked and said: "If you go in again, you surely won't come back out — that would be truly hard, truly hard." Wukong said: "I have the skill to undo the inner end of the cord from the outside.解了可實實的送我師父麼？」老魔道：「但解就送，決不敢打誑語。」大聖審得是實，即便將身一抖，收了毫毛。Once it's undone, will you truly carry my master?" The old demon said: "The moment it's undone, I'll send him off — I would not dare speak a false word." The Great Sage, judging this to be sincere, at once shook his body and drew the hair back in.那怪的心就不疼了。At once the demon's pain ceased.這是孫大聖掩樣的法兒，使毫毛拴著他的心，收了毫毛，所以就不害疼也。This was a concealing trick of the Great Sage's — he had used the hair to tie the demon's heart, and once he withdrew the hair, the pain stopped.三個妖縱身而起，謝道：「大聖請回，上覆唐僧，收拾下行李，我們就擡轎來送。」眾怪偃干戈，盡皆歸洞。The three demons leapt up and thanked him, saying: "Great Sage, please go back and tell Tang Seng to pack up the luggage — we will come bearing the sedan chair to carry him." The assembled demons laid down their weapons and all returned to the cave.

慌得那二怪、三怪一齐按下云头，上前扯住绳儿，跪在坡下，哀告道：「大圣啊，只说你是个宽洪海量之仙，谁知是个鼠腹蜗肠之辈。实实的哄你出来，与你见阵，不期你在我家兄心上拴了一根绳子。」行者笑道：「你这伙泼魔，十分无礼。前番哄我出来就咬我，这番哄我出来却又摆阵敌我。似这几万妖兵战我一个，理上也不通。扯了去，扯了去见我师父。」那怪一齐叩头道：「大圣慈悲，饶我性命，愿送老师父过山。」行者笑道：「你要性命，只消拿刀把绳子割断罢了。」老魔道：「爷爷呀！割断外边的，这里边的拴在心上，喉咙里又㮇㮇的恶心，怎生是好？」行者道：「既如此，张开口，等我再进去解出绳来。」老魔慌了道：「这一进去，又不肯出来，却难也，却难也。」行者道：「我有本事外边就可以解得里面绳头也。解了可实实的送我师父么？」老魔道：「但解就送，决不敢打诳语。」大圣审得是实，即便将身一抖，收了毫毛。那怪的心就不疼了。这是孙大圣掩样的法儿，使毫毛拴著他的心，收了毫毛，所以就不害疼也。三个妖纵身而起，谢道：「大圣请回，上覆唐僧，收拾下行李，我们就抬轿来送。」众怪偃干戈，尽皆归洞。

大聖收繩子，徑轉山東，遠遠的看見唐僧睡在地下打滾痛哭，豬八戒與沙僧解了包袱，將行李搭分兒，在那裡分哩。The Great Sage gathered in the cord and headed straight back east of the mountain, and from afar he saw Tang Seng rolling on the ground weeping bitterly, while Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng had untied the bundles and were dividing up the luggage between them.行者暗暗嗟嘆道：「不消講了，這定是八戒對師父說我被妖精吃了，師父捨不得我，痛哭；Wukong sighed inwardly: "No need to ask — Bajie must have told our master I was eaten by the demon, and master, unable to bear the loss, is weeping bitterly;那獃子卻分東西散火哩。and that fool is dividing the goods to break up the party.咦！Heh!不知可是此意？I wonder if that's really it?且等我叫他一聲看。」落下雲頭叫道：「師父。」沙僧聽見，報怨八戒道：「你是個棺材座子──專一害人。Let me call out to him and see." He brought his cloud down and called: "Master!" Hearing this, Sha Seng reproached Bajie: "You're a coffin-stand of a man — always bringing harm to others.師兄不曾死，你卻說他死了，在這裡幹這個勾當，那裡不叫將來了？」八戒道：「我分明看見他被妖精一口吞了。Elder Brother never died, yet you said he was dead, and here you are up to this business — how could it not summon him back?" Bajie said: "I plainly saw him swallowed whole by the demon in one gulp.想是日辰不好，那猴子來顯魂哩。」行者到跟前，一把撾住八戒臉，一個巴掌打了個踉蹌道：「夯貨！It must be an unlucky day, and that monkey has come to show his ghost." Wukong came right up to him, grabbed Bajie's face with one hand, and slapped him staggering with the other, saying: "You dolt!我顯甚麼魂？」獃子侮著臉道：「哥哥，你實是那怪吃了，你、你怎麼又活了？」行者道：「像你這個不濟事的膿包？What ghost am I showing?" The fool, covering his face, said: "Brother, you truly were eaten by that demon — how, how are you alive again?" Wukong said: "What use are you, you useless lump of a coward?他吃了我，我就抓他腸，捏他肺，又把這條繩兒穿住他的心，扯得疼痛難禁，一個個叩頭哀告，我才饒了他性命。After he swallowed me, I clawed at his intestines and pinched his lungs, and then threaded this cord through his heart, and pulled it until the pain was unbearable, and one after another they kowtowed and pleaded, so I spared their lives.如今擡轎來送我師父過山也。」那三藏聞言，一骨魯爬起來，對行者躬身道：「徒弟啊，累殺你了。Now they're bringing a sedan chair to carry our master over the mountain." Hearing this, Sanzang scrambled clumsily to his feet, bowed to Wukong, and said: "Disciple, ah, what trouble you've endured for my sake.若信悟能之言，我已絕矣。」行者掄拳打著八戒罵道：「這個饢糠的獃子，十分懈怠，甚不成人。Had I believed Wuneng's words, I would already be dead." Wukong swung his fist and struck at Bajie, scolding him: "You chaff-guzzling fool, so utterly slack, so far from being a proper man.師父，你切莫惱，那怪就來送你也。」沙僧也甚生慚愧，連忙遮掩，收拾行李，扣背馬匹，都在途中等候不題。Master, don't fret at all — that demon will indeed come to carry you." Sha Seng too felt deeply ashamed, and hastily covered things over, gathering up the luggage and saddling the horse, and they waited on the road; but no more of that for now.

大圣收绳子，径转山东，远远的看见唐僧睡在地下打滚痛哭，猪八戒与沙僧解了包袱，将行李搭分儿，在那里分哩。行者暗暗嗟叹道：「不消讲了，这定是八戒对师父说我被妖精吃了，师父舍不得我，痛哭；那呆子却分东西散火哩。咦！不知可是此意？且等我叫他一声看。」落下云头叫道：「师父。」沙僧听见，报怨八戒道：「你是个棺材座子──专一害人。师兄不曾死，你却说他死了，在这里干这个勾当，那里不叫将来了？」八戒道：「我分明看见他被妖精一口吞了。想是日辰不好，那猴子来显魂哩。」行者到跟前，一把挝住八戒脸，一个巴掌打了个踉跄道：「夯货！我显甚么魂？」呆子侮著脸道：「哥哥，你实是那怪吃了，你、你怎么又活了？」行者道：「像你这个不济事的脓包？他吃了我，我就抓他肠，捏他肺，又把这条绳儿穿住他的心，扯得疼痛难禁，一个个叩头哀告，我才饶了他性命。如今抬轿来送我师父过山也。」那三藏闻言，一骨鲁爬起来，对行者躬身道：「徒弟啊，累杀你了。若信悟能之言，我已绝矣。」行者抡拳打著八戒骂道：「这个馕糠的呆子，十分懈怠，甚不成人。师父，你切莫恼，那怪就来送你也。」沙僧也甚生惭愧，连忙遮掩，收拾行李，扣背马匹，都在途中等候不题。

卻說三個魔頭帥群精回洞，二怪道：「哥哥，我只道是個九頭八尾的孫行者，原來是恁的個小小猴兒。Now to tell of the three demon kings, who led their host of goblins back to the cave. The second demon said: "Brother, I thought Sun Wukong was some nine-headed, eight-tailed monster, but it turns out he's just such a puny little monkey.你不該吞他，只與他鬥時，他那裡鬥得過你我？You shouldn't have swallowed him — had you simply fought him, how could he possibly have bested the two of us?洞裡這幾萬妖精，吐唾沫也可渰殺他。With the tens of thousands of goblins in our cave, we could drown him with our spit alone.你卻將他吞在肚裡，他便弄起法來，教你受苦，怎麼敢與他比較？But you swallowed him into your belly, and then he worked his magic and made you suffer — how dare you even compare yourself to him?才自說送唐僧，都是假意，實為兄長性命要緊，所以哄他出來，決不送他。」老魔道：「賢弟不送之故，何也？」二怪道：「你與我三千小妖，擺開陣勢，我有本事拿住這個猴頭。」老魔道：「莫說三千，憑你起老營去，只是拿住他，便大家有功。」Just now, saying we'd send off Tang Seng, was all pretense — really it was only because our elder brother's life was at stake, so we tricked him into coming out; we will never actually send him off." The old demon said: "Worthy brother, why should we not send him off?" The second demon said: "Give me three thousand lesser demons, and let me array a battle formation — I have the skill to capture that monkey-head." The old demon said: "Never mind three thousand — take our entire camp if you must, so long as you catch him, it will be credit to us all."

却说三个魔头帅群精回洞，二怪道：「哥哥，我只道是个九头八尾的孙行者，原来是恁的个小小猴儿。你不该吞他，只与他斗时，他那里斗得过你我？洞里这几万妖精，吐唾沫也可渰杀他。你却将他吞在肚里，他便弄起法来，教你受苦，怎么敢与他比较？才自说送唐僧，都是假意，实为兄长性命要紧，所以哄他出来，决不送他。」老魔道：「贤弟不送之故，何也？」二怪道：「你与我三千小妖，摆开阵势，我有本事拿住这个猴头。」老魔道：「莫说三千，凭你起老营去，只是拿住他，便大家有功。」

那二魔即點三千小妖，徑到大路傍擺開，著一個藍旗手往來傳報道：「孫行者趕早出來，與我二大王爺爺交戰。」八戒聽見，笑道：「哥啊，常言道：『說謊不瞞當鄉人。』就來弄虛頭，搗鬼：怎麼說降了妖精，就擡轎來送師父，卻又來叫戰，何也？」行者道：「老怪已被我降了，不敢出頭，聞著個『孫』字兒，也害頭疼。So the second demon at once mustered three thousand lesser demons and went straight to array them beside the main road, sending a blue-flag bearer back and forth to announce: "Sun Wukong, come out at once and do battle with our Second Great King!" Hearing this, Bajie laughed and said: "Brother, as the saying goes, 'A liar can't fool his own townsfolk.' Now you're playing tricks and stirring up mischief: how can you say the demon has been subdued and is coming with a sedan chair to send off our master, and yet now they're calling for battle — how is that?" Wukong said: "The old demon has already been subdued by me and dares not show his face — the mere word 'Sun' gives him a headache.這定是二妖魔不伏氣送我們，故此叫戰。This must certainly be the second demon, refusing to accept it and unwilling to send us off, hence this challenge to battle.我道兄弟，這妖精有弟兄三個，這般義氣；I was just thinking, brother — these demons are three brothers, and see how loyal they are to each other;我弟兄也是三個，就沒些義氣？we too are three brothers — shall we show no such loyalty at all?我已降了大魔，二魔出來，你就與他戰戰，未為不可。」八戒道：「怕他怎的？I have already subdued the eldest demon; now that the second one has come out, it would do no harm for you to go fight him a bit." Bajie said: "Why should I fear him?等我去打他一仗來。」行者道：「要去便去罷。」八戒笑道：「哥啊，去便去，你把那繩兒借與我使使。」行者道：「你要怎的？Let me go give him a battle." Wukong said: "If you want to go, then go." Bajie laughed and said: "Brother, I'll go, I'll go — but lend me that cord of yours to use." Wukong said: "What do you want it for?你又沒本事鑽在肚裡，你又沒本事拴在他心上，要他何用？」八戒道：「我要扣在這腰間，做個救命索。You have no skill to burrow into his belly, and no skill to tie it to his heart — what use would it be to you?" Bajie said: "I want to tie it around my waist, as a life-saving rope.你與沙僧扯住後手，放我出去，與他交戰。You and Sha Seng hold the other end, and let me go out and fight him.估著贏了他，你便放鬆，我把他拿住；If it looks like I'm winning, you let it slack, and I'll capture him;若是輸與他，你把我扯回來，莫教他拉了去。」真個行者暗笑道：「也是捉弄獃子一番。」就把繩兒扣在他腰裡，撮弄他出戰。but if I'm losing, you pull me back, so he can't drag me off." Wukong indeed laughed secretly to himself: "This is another chance to make sport of the fool." So he tied the cord around Bajie's waist and sent him off to battle.
