:「。」:「:『。』?」:「The master and his three disciples, enduring the scorching heat, were traveling along when they suddenly saw two rows of tall willows beside the road. From their shade emerged an old woman leading a little child by her right hand. She called loudly to Tang Seng, “Monk, go no farther! Turn your horse east at once, for westward there is nothing but a road to death.” Startled, Sanzang leapt from his horse, saluted her, and said, “Venerable Bodhisattva, the ancients said, ‘In the broad sea the fish may leap; beneath the boundless sky the birds may fly.’ How can there be no road westward?” Pointing west, the old woman said, “Five or six li from here lies the Kingdom of Exterminating the Dharma.Its king incurred a bitter grievance in a former life and now, in this life, commits crimes without cause.Two years ago he made a grand vow before all Heaven to kill ten thousand monks.Over these two years he has killed, one after another, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-six monks of no renown; now he is only waiting for four famous monks to make up the full ten thousand and fulfill his vow.。」:「If you enter the city, you will all be delivering yourselves to the King of Death.” Hearing this, Sanzang was frightened and said tremblingly, “Venerable Bodhisattva, I am deeply grateful for your kindness and cannot thank you enough.But may I ask whether there is some convenient road that bypasses the city?。」:「This poor monk will go around it.” The old woman laughed. “You cannot go around it, you cannot.。」:「。」Only those who can fly may pass.” Bajie boasted from the side, “Mother, do not speak in riddles—we can all fly.”

师徒四众,耽炎受热,正行处,忽见那路傍有两行高柳,柳阴中走出一个老母,右手下搀著一个小孩儿,对唐僧高叫道:「和尚,不要走了,快早儿拨马东回,进西去都是死路。」諕得个三藏跳下马来,打个问讯道:「老菩萨,古人云:『海阔从鱼跃,天空任鸟飞。』怎么西进便没路了?」那老母用手朝西指道:「那里去有五六里远近,乃是灭法国。那国王前生那世里结下冤仇,今世里无端造罪。二年前许下一个罗天大愿,要杀一万个和尚。这两年陆陆续续,杀够了九千九百九十六个无名和尚,只要等四个有名的和尚,凑成一万,好做圆满哩。你们去,若到城中,都是送命王菩萨。」三藏闻言,心中害怕,战兢兢的道:「老菩萨,深感盛情,感谢不尽。但请问可有不进城的方便路儿?我贫僧转过去罢。」那老母笑道:「转不过去,转不过去。只除是会飞的,就过去了。」八戒在傍边卖嘴道:「妈妈儿莫说黑话,我们都是会飞的。」

With his fiery eyes and golden pupils, Wukong could discern truth from falsehood: the old woman and the child she led were really the Bodhisattva Guanyin and the Child Shancai.:「。」In alarm he threw himself down in worship, crying, “Bodhisattva, forgive your disciple for failing to welcome you!” The Bodhisattva gently rose upon an auspicious cloud.Tang Sanzang was so overwhelmed that he did not know where to stand and could only remain kneeling and kowtowing;Bajie and Sha Seng also hastily knelt and worshiped toward the sky.In a moment the auspicious cloud faded into the distance, heading straight back to the Southern Sea.

We travelers have a hard life, and we fear that once asleep we may fail to wake quickly and suddenly lose our belongings. What would we do then?。」Take these clothes, headcloths, and purses inside for safekeeping, and return them to us near dawn when we rise to leave.” Wang Xiao’er duly carried every last article of clothing into his own room.Impatient, Wukong spread his wings, flew inside, and alighted on a headcloth rack.He then saw Wang Xiao’er take down the lantern at the entrance, lower the hanging shutters, close the doors and windows, and finally enter his room, undress, and lie down.Wang Xiao’er had a wife and two children, and the children kept wailing and making such a racket that no one could get to sleep.The woman took up a ragged garment and went on patching and stitching it, showing no sign of going to bed.

噫!有这般不遂意的事:正思忖处,只见那小二走向前,吩咐:「列位官人,仔细些,我这里君子小人不同,各人的衣物、行李都要小心著。」你想那在外做买卖的人,那样不仔细?又听得店家吩咐,越发谨慎。他都爬起来道:「主人家说得有理,我们走路的人辛苦,只怕睡著,急忙不醒,一时失所,奈何?你将这衣服、头巾、搭联都收进去,待天将明,交付与我们起身。」那王小二真个把些衣物之类,尽情都搬进他屋里去了。行者性急,展开翅,就飞入里面,丁在一个头巾架上。又见王小二去门首摘了灯笼,放下吊搭,关了门窗,却才进房,脱衣睡下。那王小二有个婆子,带了两个孩子,哇哇聒噪,急忙不睡。那婆子又拿了一件破衣,补补纳纳,也不见睡。

:「?」Wukong thought, “If I wait until this woman falls asleep before acting, will I not delay Master?” He also feared that as the night deepened the city gates would close, so, unable to endure any longer, he flew down and pounced upon the lamp.Truly: He cast himself into the flame, singeing his brow to seek a way of life.The lamp went out at once.Shaking himself again, he changed into a rat, squeaked twice, jumped down, seized the clothes and headcloths, and made for the door.:「。」:「The woman cried in panic, “Old man, disaster! A night rat has turned into a spirit!” Hearing her, Wukong worked another spell, blocked the door, and shouted sternly, “Wang Xiao’er, do not listen to your wife’s nonsense.I am no night rat turned spirit.An honorable man acts openly: I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven descended among mortals, protecting Tang Seng on his journey west to fetch the scriptures.Because your king is without the Way, I have come specially to borrow these clothes and caps to disguise my master.。」Once we have passed through the city, I shall return them at once.” Hearing this, Wang Xiao’er scrambled out of bed. Groping in the darkness and flustered besides, he snatched up a pair of trousers thinking it was a shirt, but could get neither his left arm nor his right into it.

Seeing Wukong approach, he called, “Disciple, can we get through the Kingdom of Exterminating the Dharma?” Wukong came forward, set down the clothing, and said, “Master, if we are to pass through that kingdom, we cannot remain monks.” Bajie said, “Brother, whom are you trying to corner with that?。」:「It is easy enough not to be monks: we need only go without shaving for half a year, and our hair will grow back.” Wukong said, “We cannot wait half a year.。」:「We must all become laymen this very moment.” The fool grew alarmed. “You speak without considering reason.We are monks now; if we must become laymen at once, how are we to wear headcloths?。」:「Even if we bind them tightly around the edges, we have no topknots to fasten them to.” Sanzang rebuked him, “Stop your foolery and attend to serious business.?」:「What exactly is the situation?” Wukong said, “Master, I have inspected the city. Though its king is without the Way and kills monks, he is nevertheless a true Son of Heaven, for auspicious light and joyful vapors hover above the walls.I have also learned the city streets.I understand the local speech as well and can speak it.Just now I borrowed these clothes and headcloths from an inn. We shall disguise ourselves as laymen, enter the city, and secure lodging. At the fourth watch we shall rise and have the innkeeper prepare a vegetarian meal.We shall wait until the fifth watch, slip out when the city gates open, and take the great road west.。」:「。」Even if someone encounters and detains us, we can offer a plausible explanation: we shall say we are imperial envoys from the superior kingdom and that the King of Exterminating the Dharma dared not hinder us but allowed us through.” Sha Seng said, “Elder Brother’s plan is most suitable. Let us follow it.”

那大圣使个摄法,早已驾云出去。复翻身,径至路下坑坎边前。三藏见星光月皎,探身凝望,见是行者来至近前,即开口叫道:「徒弟,可过得灭法国么?」行者上前放下衣物道:「师父,要过灭法国,和尚做不成。」八戒道:「哥,你勒掯那个哩?不做和尚也容易,只消半年不剃头,就长出毛来也。」行者道:「那里等得半年?眼下就都要做俗人哩。」那呆子慌了道:「但你说话,通不察理。我们如今都是和尚,眼下要做俗人,却怎么戴得头巾?就是边儿勒住,也没收顶绳处。」三藏喝道:「不要打花,且干正事。端的何如?」行者道:「师父,他这城池,我已看了,虽是国王无道杀僧,却倒是个真天子,城上有祥光喜气。城中的街道,我也认得。这里的乡谈,我也省得,会说。却才在饭店内借了这几件衣服、头巾,我们且扮作俗人,进城去借了宿,至四更天就起来,教店家安排了斋吃。挨到五更时候,挨城门而去,奔大路西行。就有人撞见扯住,也好折辨:只说是上邦钦差的,灭法王不敢阻滞,放我们来的。」沙僧道:「师兄处的最当,且依他行。」

The elder had no choice. He took off his short monastic robe and monk’s cap, put on lay clothing, and wrapped a headcloth around his head.Sha Seng changed as well.Bajie’s head was too large for a headcloth, so Wukong took needle and thread, ripped open two of them, and sewed them into one, which he draped over Bajie’s head;then he selected a roomy garment for him to wear.:「』、『。」:「?」:「Afterward Wukong changed into an outfit himself and said, “Gentlemen, once we set out, put away the words ‘master’ and ‘disciple.’” Bajie asked, “Without those words, what shall we call one another?” Wukong replied, “We must address one another as brothers: Master will be called Lord Tang, you Lord Zhu the Third, Sha Seng Lord Sha the Fourth, and I Lord Sun the Second.Once we reach the inn, none of you must speak; let me alone answer all questions.If they ask what our business is, say that we are horse dealers and that this white horse is a sample.Say that we are ten brothers and that the four of us have come ahead to rent rooms from which to sell our horses.。」The innkeeper will certainly treat us well. After we have enjoyed his hospitality and are about to leave, I shall pick up a shard of tile, turn it into silver to thank him, and then we shall be on our way.” The elder had no choice but to comply.

真个长老无奈,脱了褊衫,去了僧帽,穿了俗人的衣服,戴了头巾。沙僧也换了。八戒的头大,戴不得巾儿,被行者取了些针线,把头巾扯开两顶,缝做一顶,与他搭在头上;拣件宽大的衣服,与他穿了。然后自家也换上一套道:「列位,这一去,把『师父』、『徒弟』四个字儿且收起。」八戒道:「除了此四字,怎的称呼?」行者道:「都要做弟兄称呼:师父叫做唐大官儿,你叫做朱三官儿,沙僧叫做沙四官儿,我叫做孙二官儿。但到店中,你们切休言语,只让我一个开口答话。等他问甚么买卖,只说是贩马的客人,把这白马做个样子。说我们是十弟兄,我四个先来赁店房卖马。那店家必然款待我们,我们受用了,临行时,等我拾块瓦查儿,变块银子谢他,却就走路。」长老无奈,只得曲从。

The four hurriedly led the horse, shouldered the luggage, and hastened over there.It was a peaceful country, and though the first watch had begun, the gates were not yet closed, so they went straight in.When they reached the entrance of Wang Xiao’er’s inn, they heard shouting inside.:「。」:「。」One man was saying, “My headcloth is gone!” and another, “My clothes are gone!” Pretending to know nothing, Wukong led the others to seek lodging at a house diagonally opposite.:「?」:「。」Its lantern was still hanging outside, so he approached the door and called, “Innkeeper, have you an empty room where we may lodge?” A woman inside answered, “Yes, yes, yes! Please go upstairs, gentlemen.” Before she had finished speaking, a man came to take the horse, and Wukong handed it over to be led inside.Keeping behind the lantern’s glow, Wukong led his master straight up to the upper room, where convenient tables and chairs stood ready.They pushed open the lattice window and sat down together in the moonlight.:「。」Someone came up to light a lamp, but Wukong blocked the doorway and blew it out with a single breath. “With a moon this bright, we need no lamp.”

四众忙忙的牵马挑担,跑过那边。此处是个太平境界,入更时分,尚未关门,径直进去。行到王小二店门首,只听得里边叫哩。有的说:「我不见了头巾。」有的说:「我不见了衣服。」行者只推不知,引著他们,往斜对门一家安歇。那家子还未收灯笼,即近门叫道:「店家,可有闲房儿,我们安歇?」那里边有个妇人答应道:「有有有,请官人们上楼。」说不了,就有一个汉子来牵马,行者把马儿递与牵进去。他引著师父,从灯影儿后面,径上楼门,那楼上有方便的桌椅。推开窗格,映月光齐齐坐下。只见有人点上灯来,行者拦门,一口吹息道:「这般月亮不用灯。」

That person had scarcely gone down when a maid brought four bowls of clear tea, which Wukong received.Then another woman came up from below, looking about fifty-seven or fifty-eight years old, and stood beside them.:「She asked, “Honored guests, where have you come from??」:「。」:「。」:「。」:「。」:「What valuable goods do you carry?” Wukong replied, “We come from the north and have several common horses to sell.” The woman said, “You horse dealers are still rather young.” Wukong said, “This is Lord Tang, this is Lord Zhu the Third, and this is Lord Sha the Fourth. This humble student is Lord Sun the Second.” The woman laughed. “You have different surnames.” Wukong said, “Indeed, we are men of different surnames living as one family. There are ten brothers altogether; the four of us came ahead to rent rooms and arrange our meals.The other six are lodging outside the city with a herd of horses, for it was too late to bring them in.Once we have rented premises, they will all enter tomorrow morning.。」:「?」:「。」:「We shall return home only after the horses are sold.” The woman asked, “How many horses are in the herd?” Wukong replied, “About a hundred, large and small. They are all built like this horse of mine, though their coats differ.” The woman laughed. “Lord Sun the Second, you truly know the rules and customs of merchants.Luckily you came to my establishment; no other house would dare accommodate you.My courtyard is spacious, my stalls and mangers complete, and I have plenty of fodder. I could keep even several hundred horses for you.There is only one matter: I have kept this inn for many years, and it has a humble name.My late husband’s surname was Zhao, but sadly he passed away long ago.My establishment is called Widow Zhao’s Inn.At my inn we entertain guests in three different ways.。」:「Let us speak as petty men first and gentlemen afterward: we should settle the price of the rooms beforehand, so that the account will be easy later.” Wukong said, “Quite right.What are the three ways in which your establishment entertains guests?:『。』As the saying goes, ‘Goods have high, middle, and low prices, but guests from near and far receive equal regard.’ Why do you speak of three ways of treating guests?。」:「Tell me about them, if you please.” Widow Zhao said, “We offer upper, middle, and lower grades.。」:「。」:「。」:「The upper grade provides a banquet of five fruits and five vegetable dishes, with a grand table of sweets, one table for every two guests, and young women invited to sing and share your beds. It costs five qian of silver per person, including the room.” Wukong laughed. “That is cheap! Where I come from, five qian would not even hire a young woman.” The widow continued, “The middle grade is a shared table with fruit and warm wine. You may pour for yourselves and play drinking games, but there are no young women. It costs only two qian of silver per person.” Wukong said, “Cheaper still!?」:「。」:「。」:「And what is the lower grade?” The woman said, “I would not dare mention it before honored guests.” Wukong replied, “Tell us anyway; then we can choose whichever is economical.” The woman said, “In the lower grade, no one waits upon you. There is ready-cooked rice in the pot, and guests may eat as much as they please.When they are full, they take a little straw, spread it on the floor, and sleep wherever convenient.。」:「At daybreak they may give whatever few coins they wish for the food, and we never quarrel over it.” Hearing this, Bajie cried, “What luck, what luck!Old Zhu’s kind of bargain has arrived!!」:「Let me eat my fill straight from the pot, then sleep like the devil before the stove!” Wukong said, “Brother, what are you saying?As men who travel the rivers and lakes, where have we ever failed to earn a few taels of silver?。」Prepare the upper grade for us.”

那妇人越发欢喜,跑下去教:「莫宰,莫宰。取些木耳、闽笋、豆腐、面筋,园里拔些青菜,做粉汤,发面蒸卷子,再煮白米饭,烧香茶。」咦!那些当厨的庖丁都是每日家做惯的手段,霎时间就安排停当,摆在楼上,又有现成的狮仙糖果,四众任情受用。又问:「可吃素酒?」行者道:「止唐大官不用,我们也吃几杯。」寡妇又取了一壶暖酒。他三个方才斟上,忽听得乒乓板响。行者道:「妈妈,底下倒了甚么家火了?」寡妇道:「不是,是我小庄上几个客子送租米来晚了,教他在底下睡。因客官到,没人使用,教他们抬轿子去院中请小娘儿陪你们,想是轿杠撞得楼板响。」行者道:「早是说哩,快不要去请:一则斋戒日期,二则兄弟们未到。索性明日进来,一家请个表子,在府上耍耍时,待卖了马起身。」寡妇道:「好人,好人,又不失了和气,又养了精神。」教:「抬进轿子来,不要去请。」四众吃了酒饭,收了家火,都散讫。

Suppose we fall asleep and someone in the household comes to tidy up; if they see that our caps have slipped off and exposed our shaven heads, they will know we are monks and raise an outcry. What shall we do then?” Xingzhe said, “True!” He went to the head of the stairs and stamped his feet. The widow came up again and asked, “What further instructions has Officer Sun?” Xingzhe asked, “Where are we to sleep?” The woman replied, “Upstairs is an excellent place: there are no mosquitoes, a southerly breeze is blowing, and with the windows wide open it is wonderfully comfortable.” Xingzhe said, “We cannot sleep here.。」My Officer Zhu the Third suffers somewhat from chills and damp; Officer Sha the Fourth has a shoulder sensitive to drafts; Elder Brother Tang can sleep only in darkness; and my own eyes are somewhat averse to light. This is no place for us to sleep.”

Tomorrow you can prepare meat dishes and wine for them, so why should you make no money?” The woman replied, “They are all ailing, afraid of drafts or averse to light, and insist on sleeping in darkness.You know that all the rooms in our house have only single-layer tiles; where are we to find a dark place?。」:「。」:「?」:「We might as well give them this one meal and tell them to lodge elsewhere.” Her daughter said, “Mother, our house does have a dark place, with no drafts at all. It would be perfect.” The woman asked, “Where?” Her daughter replied, “When Father was alive, he had a great chest made. It is four feet wide, seven feet long, and about three feet high; six or seven people could sleep inside.。」:「Let them sleep in the chest.” The woman said, “I wonder whether they would agree.。──?」:「。」Let me ask them.—Officer Sun, our humble dwelling has no other dark place, but we do have a great chest that admits neither wind nor light. Would you sleep inside it?” Xingzhe replied, “Excellent, excellent, excellent!” She immediately had several tenants carry out the chest, open its lid, and invite the travelers downstairs.

Now let us tell how the four fared inside the chest—pitiful indeed!For one thing, they were unused to wearing headcloths; for another, the weather was hot, and with the air sealed in there was not the slightest ventilation.They all removed their headcloths and took off their clothes. Having no fans, they could only flap their monks’ caps to stir the air.Each pressed against the next, until around the second watch they finally all fell asleep.Xingzhe alone, intent on stirring up trouble, could not sleep. He reached out and gave Bajie’s leg a pinch.:「?」:「The idiot drew back his leg and grumbled, “Go to sleep! After all our hardships, how can you still have the heart to play at pinching hands and feet?” Mischievous Xingzhe said, “Our original capital was five thousand taels. We sold the earlier horses for three thousand, and now have four thousand in our two saddlebags. If this herd brings another three thousand, we shall have doubled our investment.。」Enough, enough.” But Bajie wanted to sleep and made no reply.

却说他四个到了柜里,可怜啊!一则乍戴个头巾,二来天气炎热,又闷住了气,略不透风。他都摘了头巾,脱了衣服,又没把扇子,只将僧帽扑扑扇扇。你挨著我,我挨著你,直到有二更时分,却都睡著。惟行者有心闯祸,偏他睡不著,伸过手,将八戒腿上一捻。那呆子缩了脚,口里哼哼的道:「睡了罢,辛辛苦苦的,有甚么心肠还捻手捻脚的耍子?」行者捣鬼道:「我们原来的本身是五千两,前者马卖了三千两,如今两搭联里现有四千两,这一群马还卖他三千两,也有一本一利。够了,够了。」八戒要睡的人,那里答对。

Little did they know that the inn’s waiters, water carriers, and fire tenders had long been in league with robbers. Hearing Xingzhe speak of so much silver, they sent several men slipping out to gather more than twenty bandits, who came openly with torches and weapons to rob the horse dealers and burst through the gate.Madam Zhao, the widow, and her daughters were so terrified that they tremblingly barred their bedroom doors and left the bandits to do as they pleased outside.The thieves had no interest in the inn’s furnishings; they sought only the guests.Finding no trace of them upstairs, they lit torches and searched on every side. In the courtyard they saw only a great chest, with a white horse tethered to one of its feet. The lid was securely locked, and the chest was too heavy to overturn.:「The bandits said, “Travelers of the rivers and lakes are always full of cunning.Judging by the weight of this chest, their baggage, money, and valuables must be locked inside.?」Why not steal the horse, carry the chest out of the city, break it open, and divide the contents among ourselves?” The thieves accordingly found ropes and carrying poles, hoisted the chest, and bore it away, swaying to and fro.:「?」:「。」:「?」:「Bajie awoke and said, “Brother, go to sleep. Why are you rocking us?” Xingzhe replied, “Do not speak; no one is rocking us.” Sanzang and Sha Seng suddenly awoke as well and asked, “Who is carrying us?” Xingzhe said, “Do not shout, do not shout.。」Let them carry us. If they carry us all the way to the Western Heaven, it will save us the walk.”

At midnight the shaving was accomplished.He recited a spell and dismissed the earth god and the other deities.With a shake of his body, all the hairs returned to his arms.He gathered all the razors together and restored their true nature; once more recognizing their original essence, they became a single golden-hooped staff.

Now in the palace’s inner courts, before daybreak the palace maids and richly dressed attendants rose to wash and comb their hair, only to find that every one of them had lost it all.The eunuchs, high and low, who served throughout the palace had also lost all their hair.They flocked together to the imperial bedchamber, where they played music to awaken the sleeper; every one of them had tears in their eyes, yet none dared tell what had happened.Before long, the empresses of the three palaces awoke and found that they too had lost all their hair.They hurriedly brought a lamp to the dragon bed, and when they looked beneath the embroidered quilt, there lay a monk asleep. Unable to contain herself, the empress cried out and woke the king.:「?」:「。」:「?」:「。」:「……」:「The king opened his eyes in alarm and saw the empress’s bald head. Scrambling up, he exclaimed, “My dear consort, how did you come to be like this?” The empress replied, “My lord is the same.” The emperor felt his head and was so terrified that his three corpse-spirits groaned and his seven souls flew into the air. “What am I to do?” he cried. Amid this panic, the consorts of the six courts, the palace maids and richly dressed attendants, and all the eunuchs, high and low, came kneeling with bare heads and said, “My lord, we have become monks!” Seeing them, the king wept and said, “It must be because We have slaughtered monks…” He immediately issued an order: “None of you may reveal that your hair has been shorn, lest the civil and military ministers condemn the realm for its unrighteousness.。」For now, all of you proceed to the throne hall and prepare the morning court.”

What it’s about

The travelers approach the Dharma-Destroying Kingdom, whose ruler has vowed to kill ten thousand Buddhist monks and lacks only four victims to complete the number. Warned by frightened residents, the pilgrims cannot enter openly. Wukong conceals the party in a large chest carried by an innkeeper, but thieves steal it during the night. When the robbers open their prize outside the city, the four emerge, recover their belongings and turn the dangerous mishap into a route toward the royal court.

Wukong then uses magic to shave the heads of the king, his officials and the city's people while they sleep. Awaking with the unmistakable appearance of monks, the persecutors experience the category they had marked for death. The king abandons his vow and receives the pilgrims, allowing Buddhism to survive without a battle or massacre. Rather than punish violence with violence, Wukong makes identity suddenly universal and converts a numerical campaign of extermination into embarrassed recognition.

When it was written 背景

The kingdom's name announces institutional persecution rather than a demon's appetite. Its vow reduces persons to a quota, and the missing four grimly match the pilgrim party. Shaving answers that arithmetic through bodily symbolism: a tonsured head normally marks Buddhist renunciation, but here it becomes involuntary solidarity. Learners should track 滅法, 和尚, 一萬 and 剃頭. The chest and robbery add folktale farce, yet concealment remains morally serious because visible religious identity has become fatal under state policy.
