Sha Seng said, "Just so, just so — let's go in quickly."

Sanzang said, "This poor monk was sent by the Great Tang of the Land of the East to fetch scriptures from the Western Heaven. Now that I have reached your honorable place, I have a travel rescript that ought to be examined and verified, and I would beg to borrow your esteemed office for a rest." The station master at once ordered tea to be brought.When the tea was finished, he immediately arranged provisions and ordered the attendants on duty to see to their hospitality.:「?」:「Sanzang expressed his thanks, then asked further, "Might I go to court today to have an audience and have my rescript verified?" The station master said, "Not this evening — you must wait for tomorrow's morning audience."。」"For tonight, please just rest comfortably here at my humble office for one night."

Sanzang said, "By your honored account, it's no different from my own country.""But when this poor monk entered the city, I saw that the households along the streets each had a goose cage set out, with small children hidden inside."。」:「"This matter I do not understand, and so I dare to ask about it." The station master put his mouth to Sanzang's ear and whispered, "Elder, don't concern yourself with it, don't ask about it, don't pay it any mind, and don't speak of it."。」"Please settle in and rest, and set off on your way early tomorrow." Hearing this, the elder seized hold of the station master and insisted on getting a clear answer.:「。」The station master shook his head and wagged his finger, only saying, "Careful what you say!" Sanzang would not let go at all, and insisted stubbornly on hearing the full details.Having no choice, the station master had to dismiss all the officials and attendants present.:「Alone beneath the lamplight, he spoke quietly, saying, "This matter of the goose cages that you just asked about concerns the misrule of the present monarch."?」:「"Why must you insist on asking about it?"

His Majesty, loving her beauty, favored her within the palace and gave her the title of Beauty Consort.""Of late he has not so much as glanced properly at the three palace queens or the consorts of the six courts.""Day and night without distinction, he indulges in pleasure without end.""Now he has worn himself into a state of exhausted spirit, an emaciated and feeble body, taking little food or drink, his life hanging by a thread.""The Imperial Medical Bureau has gone through every good prescription, but none can cure him.""That Daoist who presented the girl received a patent of nobility from our lord and is titled the National Grandfather.""The National Grandfather possesses secret formulas from beyond the seas that are extremely effective at prolonging life.""Some time ago he went to the Ten Continents and Three Isles to gather medicine, and has now brought it all back complete.""The only trouble is that the drug's guiding ingredient is fearsome: it calls for the hearts and livers of exactly one thousand one hundred and eleven small children, to be boiled into a broth and taken with the medicine.""Once taken, it has the power to grant a thousand years without aging.""All these children in the goose cages have already been selected and are being kept inside them.""The parents of these households, fearing the law of the king, none dare to weep aloud, and so a rumor spread and the place came to be called 'Small Children City.'"。」"Elder, when you go to court tomorrow morning, go only to have your rescript renewed — do not mention this matter at all."

少顷,安排停当,驿丞即请四众同吃了斋供。又教手下人打扫客房安歇。三藏感谢不尽。既坐下,长老道:「贫僧有一件不明之事请教,烦为指示。贵处养孩儿,不知怎生看待。」驿丞道:「天无二日,人无二理。养育孩童,父精母血,怀胎十月,待时而生。生下乳哺三年,渐成体相。岂有不知之理。」三藏道:「据尊言与敝邦无异。但贫僧进城时,见街坊人家各设一鹅笼,都藏小儿在内。此事不明,故敢动问。」驿丞附耳低言道:「长老莫管他,莫问他,也莫理他,说他。请安置,明早走路。」长老闻言,一把扯住驿丞,定要问个明白。驿丞摇头摇指,只叫:「谨言。」三藏一发不放,执死定要问个详细。驿丞无奈,只得屏去一应在官人等。独在灯光之下,悄悄而言道:「适所问鹅笼之事,乃是当今国主无道之事。你只管问他怎的?」三藏道:「何为无道?必见教明白,我方得放心。」驿丞道:「此国原是比丘国,近有民谣,改作小子城。三年前,有一老人,打扮做道人模样,携一小女子,年方一十六岁。其女形容娇俊,貌若观音,进贡与当今,陛下爱其色美,宠幸在宫,号为美后。近来把三宫娘娘、六院妃子,全无正眼相觑。不分昼夜,贪欢不已。如今弄得精神瘦倦,身体尪羸,饮食少进,命在须臾。太医院检尽良方,不能疗治。那进女子的道人,受我主诰封,称为国丈。国丈有海外秘方,甚能延寿。前者去十洲、三岛采将药来,俱已完备。但只是药引子利害:单用著一千一百一十一个小儿的心肝,煎汤服药。服后有千年不老之功。这些鹅笼里的小儿,俱是选就的,养在里面。人家父母惧怕王法,俱不敢啼哭,遂传播谣言,叫做小儿城。长老明早到朝:只去倒换关文,不得言及此事。」言毕,抽身而退。

:「Bajie came forward and said, "Master, what's come over you?""You're carrying someone else's coffin into your own house just to cry over it.""Don't trouble yourself so.":『"As the saying goes: 'If the ruler bids the minister die, and the minister does not die, he is disloyal;'"。』if the father bids the son perish, and the son does not perish, he is unfilial.' Whoever he harms, they are his own subjects — what has that to do with you?"。」:「"Come now, loosen your robe and go to sleep — don't go worrying yourself over other people's affairs." Sanzang, tears falling, said, "Disciple, you are a man without compassion.""For us who have left the household life, accumulating merit through good deeds, the first thing is to act with mercy wherever we can.""How can this benighted ruler act so recklessly?""Never in all my life have I heard that eating human hearts and livers can prolong life."?」:「"Faced with such a thing, how could I not grieve?" Sha Seng said, "Master, do not grieve just yet.""Wait until tomorrow morning when you renew the rescript, and speak of it face to face with the king.""If he will not listen, then we shall see just what sort of a National Grandfather this is."。」"Perhaps that National Grandfather is in fact some demon who wishes to eat human hearts and livers, and has devised this scheme for that purpose — there's no telling."

八戒近前道:「师父,你是怎的起哩?专把别人棺材抬在自家家里哭。不要烦恼。常言道:『君教臣死,臣不死不忠;父教子亡,子不亡不孝。』他伤的是他的子民,与你何干?且来宽衣服睡觉,莫替古人耽忧。」三藏滴泪道:「徒弟啊,你是一个不慈悯的。我出家人积功累行,第一要行方便。怎么这昏君一味胡行?从来也不见吃人心肝,可以延寿。似这等之事,教我怎不伤悲?」沙僧道:「师父且莫伤悲。等明早倒换关文,觌面与国王讲过。如若不从,看他是怎么模样的一个国丈。或恐那国丈是个妖精,欲吃人的心肝,故设此法,未可知也。」

:「Wukong said, "Wujing speaks with reason.""Master, go to sleep for now. Tomorrow let old Monkey go with you into the court, and we'll see whether this National Grandfather is good or ill.""If he turns out to be human, then I fear he has merely strayed onto a heterodox path, ignorant of the true Way, mistaking the mere gathering of medicine for the real thing — in which case old Monkey will use the essential principles of the primordial Dao to convert him back to righteousness;"。」:「"and if he is a demon, I shall seize him and show him to this king, so as to teach him to curb his desires and nurture his body — I will certainly not let him harm the lives of those children." Hearing this, Sanzang hastily bowed and, turning to Wukong, made him a gesture of respect, saying, "Disciple, this plan is excellent, truly excellent."?」:「"But when we see the benighted ruler, we mustn't ask about this matter outright — I fear he, unable to distinguish near from far, might lump it together as mere rumor and hold us to blame. What then shall we do?" Wukong laughed and said, "Old Monkey has his own powers for this.""For now, I'll first spirit the children away from this city in their goose cages, so that tomorrow there will be nothing from which to take hearts, and the local officials will naturally submit a memorial about it.""That benighted ruler is bound to issue some decree — either he'll consult with the National Grandfather, or he'll order a fresh selection to be reported."。」"At that point, we can use the matter as an occasion to speak up, and there will certainly be no blame placed upon us." Sanzang was overjoyed.:「He then asked further, "But how can the children be gotten out of the city now?""If they can truly be delivered, it will be an act of virtue as great as heaven from you, my worthy disciple."。」:「。」:「"Please act quickly — any delay and it may be too late." Wukong roused his divine might, rose at once, and instructed Bajie and Sha Seng, "Sit here with the master while I go to work. When you see a dark wind rise, that will mean the children are being taken out of the city." The three of them together began chanting in unison, "Homage to the Life-Saving Medicine Buddha!"!」"Homage to the Life-Saving Medicine Buddha!"

Give them some fruit to eat so they do not go hungry;""and further, watch over them secretly, so that they are not made to feel frightened and cry."。」"Wait until I have rid the place of the demon, set the country in order, and persuaded the king to correct his ways — then, when it is time for us to leave, bring them back and return them to me."

那国王听说,十分欢喜。满朝官都喝采道:「好个『惟道独称尊』,『惟道独称尊』。」长老见人都赞他,不胜羞愧。国王又叫光禄寺安排素斋,待那远来之僧出城西去。三藏谢恩而退。才下殿,往外正走,行者飞下帽顶儿,来在耳边叫道:「师父,这国丈是个妖邪,国王受了妖气。你先去驿中等斋,待老孙在这里听他消息。」三藏知会了,独出朝门不题。

:「。」:「Watch now as Wukong, with a single flap of his wings, flew into the Hall of Golden Bells and lodged himself upon the kingfisher-feather screen. Just then, from among the ranks of officials, the Commissioner of the Five Wards' Troops stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, last night a gust of cold wind swept away the young children from the goose-cages in every ward and household, cages and all, leaving not a trace." Hearing this report, the king was both alarmed and enraged, and said to the Royal Preceptor, "This must be Heaven's will to destroy me.?」:「For months now my illness has grown severe, and the royal physicians have been of no avail. Fortunately the Royal Preceptor bestowed an immortal prescription, and I was waiting expressly for today, the hour of noon, to perform the incision and take the hearts and livers of these children as the guiding ingredient. How could I have expected them to be swept away by a cold wind? If this is not Heaven wishing to destroy me, what is it?" The Royal Preceptor laughed and said, "Your Majesty, do not trouble yourself with worry yet.。」:「?」:「That these children were swept away is in fact Heaven sending Your Majesty long life." The king said, "Seeing the children in the cages swept away, how can you instead say that Heaven has sent long life?" The Royal Preceptor said, "Just now as I entered the court, I caught sight of a most wondrous guiding ingredient, one far superior to the hearts of those eleven hundred and eleven children.The hearts of those children would only extend Your Majesty's life by a thousand years;。」:「but this guiding ingredient, taken with my immortal elixir, could extend it by ten thousand times ten thousand years." The king had no idea at all what this guiding ingredient might be, and asked again and again, until at last the Royal Preceptor said, "That monk sent from the Land of the East to fetch scriptures — I observed that his bearing is pure and his countenance well-formed; he is the true incarnation of one who has cultivated through ten lifetimes. Having been a monk since childhood, his primal yang has never been dispersed, making him ten thousand times superior to those children.。」:「If we could obtain his heart and liver to decoct into a broth, and take it together with my immortal elixir, it would fully secure ten thousand years of life for you." Hearing this, the befuddled king believed it completely and said to the Royal Preceptor, "Why did you not say so sooner?。」:「If it truly works so well, I should have kept him just now instead of letting him go." The Royal Preceptor said, "What difficulty is there in that?You just now ordered the Court of Imperial Entertainments to prepare a meal for him, so he is certain to eat the meal before leaving the city.Now quickly issue a decree to have every gate shut tight, muster troops to surround the Golden Pavilion post-house, and have that monk brought here. You should first request his heart with proper courtesy.If he consents, then cut it out from him at once, give his corpse a royal burial, and even build him a shrine to receive offerings and worship;but if he refuses, then treat him roughly — bind him at once and cut it open to take it out.?」What difficulty is there in that?" The befuddled king did just as he was told, and immediately issued a decree to have every gate shut.He also dispatched officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guard, both high and low, to surround the post-house.

:「。」Hearing this news, Wukong flapped his wings and flew straight to the post-house, resumed his true form, and said to Tang Monk, "Master, disaster, disaster!" Sanzang had just received the royal meal together with Bajie and Sha Monk, and upon suddenly hearing these words, he was so terrified that his three corpse-spirits scattered and smoke seemed to rise from his seven orifices; he collapsed into the dust, drenched in sweat all over, his eyes unable to fix on anything, his mouth unable to speak.:「。」:「Alarmed, Sha Monk rushed forward to support him, calling out again and again, "Master, wake up! Master, wake up!" Bajie said, "What disaster is it?What disaster is it?。」:「You could have just told it slowly instead of frightening the master like this." Wukong said, "After the master left the court, old Monkey turned back to watch, and saw that the Royal Preceptor is a demon spirit.A little while later, the Commissioner of the Five Wards' Troops came to report the matter of the cold wind sweeping away the children.:『。』Just as the king was growing angry, that fellow turned it into cause for joy, saying, 'This is Heaven sending you long life.' He wants to take the master's heart and liver to use as a guiding ingredient, saying it can extend the king's life for ten thousand years.。」:「。」That befuddled king believed these slanderous words, and so has mustered crack troops to surround the post-house, and sent a Brocade-robed officer to fetch the master and beg for his heart." Bajie laughed and said, "Fine mercy we showed, fine children we saved, fine dark wind we conjured — and now this time we've run straight into disaster."

行者听得这个消息,一翅飞奔馆驿,现了本相,对唐僧道:「师父,祸事了,祸事了。」那三藏才与八戒、沙僧领御斋,忽闻此言,諕得三尸神散,七窍烟生,倒在尘埃,浑身是汗,眼不定睛,口不能言。慌得沙僧上前搀住,只叫:「师父苏醒,师父苏醒。」八戒道:「有甚祸事?有甚祸事?你慢些儿说便也罢,却諕得师父如此。」行者道:「自师父出朝,老孙回视,那国丈是个妖精。少顷,有五城兵马来奏冷风刮去小儿之事。国王方恼,他却转教喜欢,道:『这是天送长生与你。』要取师父的心肝做药引,可延万年之寿。那昏君听信诬言,所以点精兵,来围馆驿,差锦衣官来请师父求心也。」八戒笑道:「行的好慈悯,救的好小儿,刮的好阴风,今番却撞出祸来了。」

:「?」:「。」:「』?」:「。」:「。」:「。」:「。」Sanzang scrambled up trembling, clutched at Wukong, and begged piteously, "Worthy disciple, ah, what is to be done about this?" Wukong said, "If you want things to turn out well, let the elder become the junior." Sha Monk said, "What do you mean, 'let the elder become the junior'?" Wukong said, "If you want to preserve your life, the master must become the disciple and the disciple become the master — only then can we keep you safe." Sanzang said, "If you can save my life, I would gladly become your disciple, and my disciple's disciple as well." Wukong said, "Since that's so, there's no need to hesitate." He told Bajie, "Quick, mix up some mud." That fool at once used his muck-rake to dig up some earth.But not daring to go outside for water, he then hitched up his robe, made water on it, and kneaded it into a lump of stinking mud, which he handed to Wukong.Having no other choice, Wukong flattened the mud into a sheet and pressed it onto his own face, fashioning a mask in the shape of a monkey's face.He told Tang Monk to stand up, hold still, and not say a word.:「!」He stuck it onto Tang Monk's face, recited a true spell, blew a breath of immortal air, and cried, "Change!" And at once the elder was transformed into the likeness of Wukong.He took off the elder's robe and put Wukong's robe on him instead.Wukong then put on his master's robe, formed a mudra with his fingers, recited an incantation, and with a shake of his body transformed his face into the likeness of Tang Monk's.Even Bajie and Sha Monk could scarcely tell them apart.

What it’s about

The pilgrims enter Bhiksu Kingdom and see cages holding more than a thousand boys. An official explains that the aging king, urged by a beautiful queen and her father, plans to use children's hearts as medicine. Wukong releases the children by sending them away under a protective wind, then disguises himself as Sanzang when the court decides that the holy monk's heart could replace all the missing victims.

Before the king and his sinister father-in-law, the disguised Wukong performs a grotesque lesson in anatomy, claiming to possess many hearts for different moral impulses. He survives the threatened cutting and challenges the proposed cure, while the real Sanzang remains hidden. Investigation points toward the queen and her father as animal spirits who have turned royal fear of death into policy. The chapter stops with their deception exposed enough for combat, but before the kingdom is fully cleansed.

When it was written 背景

Bhiksu Kingdom makes bad medicine a crisis of government. A ruler's desire for longevity converts children into ingredients, and bureaucratic obedience places cages in public view. Wukong answers sacrificial logic first with rescue, then with satirical multiplication: his inventory of metaphorical hearts turns the physical organ into a vocabulary of greed, loyalty, kindness and deceit. Learners should distinguish 心 as flesh from 心 as intention while following 小兒, 藥引 and 長生. The episode sharply contrasts Sanzang's singular sacred body with the many ordinary young lives the court has treated as exchangeable.
