，，：「？」：「。」。As the four were looking about, a monk came out from beneath the cloister and bowed to Tang Seng, asking, “From where have you come, reverend master?” Tang Seng replied, “This disciple comes from the Tang realm in the Central Land.” At once the monk prostrated himself.：「？」：「，，。Tang Seng hurriedly helped him up, saying, “Why does the abbot pay me so profound an homage?” The monk pressed his palms together and said, “Those among us who incline toward goodness, who read the scriptures and invoke the Buddha, all hope through cultivation to be reborn in your Central Land.，，，。」：「，。Now that I behold the master’s noble bearing and attire, I see that you must indeed have cultivated merit in a former life to enjoy such blessings in this one; therefore I bowed before you.” Tang Seng smiled and said, “You embarrass me, you embarrass me.，？This disciple is merely a wandering monk. What blessings do I enjoy?，。」，，。You, abbot, living here at leisure and ease, are the one who truly enjoys good fortune.” The monk led Tang Seng into the main hall, where he bowed before the Buddha images; only then did Tang Seng call his disciples inside.，，，，，。It turned out that when the three disciples saw the monk speaking with their master, they had turned their faces away and stood together, one holding the horse and the others guarding the luggage, so the monk had paid them no attention.「」，。Only when they suddenly heard Tang Seng call, “Disciples,” did the three turn around.，：「！At the sight of them, the monk cried out in alarm, “Good heavens!？」：「，，。」How is it that your eminent disciples look so hideous?” Tang Seng replied, “Hideous they may be, but they possess considerable magic powers, and throughout my journey I have depended greatly on their protection.”

，，。When at last they reached the Golden Lantern Bridge, Tang Seng and the monks went closer to look and found that there were three golden lanterns.，。Each lantern was as large as a great vat, with a delicately wrought two-story pavilion mounted above it.，，，。They were all woven from fine gold wire, with thin panes of colored glass set within; their radiance outshone the moon, and their oil gave off a rich fragrance.：「？Tang Seng turned to the monks and asked, “What oil is used in these lanterns?？」：「。Why does it give off so wondrous a fragrance?” The monks replied, “Master, you do not know.，，。Behind our prefecture lies a county called Mintian, two hundred and forty li across.，。Every year, when labor levies are assessed and assigned, two hundred and forty wealthy households are charged with providing the lantern oil.，：，。The other prefectural and county levies are bearable enough; only these great households suffer grievously, for each household, in the year of its turn, must spend over two hundred taels of silver.，。This is no ordinary oil, but fragrant suhe oil.，。Each tael of this oil costs two taels of silver, so every jin costs thirty-two taels.，，，。There are three lanterns, each vat holding five hundred jin; the three vats contain fifteen hundred jin in all, costing forty-eight thousand taels of silver.，，。」：「，？」：「，，，。With miscellaneous expenses added, the total comes to more than fifty thousand taels, yet the lamps burn for only three nights.” Xingzhe asked, “How can so much oil be exhausted in three nights?” The monks replied, “Each vat contains forty-nine great wicks, made from bundles of lamp rush wrapped in floss silk, each as thick as a hen’s egg.，，，。」：「。」：「，，，。Once tonight has passed and the Buddha has manifested himself, by tomorrow night the oil will be gone and the lanterns will grow dim.” Bajie laughed at their side and said, “I expect the Buddha takes the oil away with him.” The monks replied, “That is precisely what is said. From ancient times to the present, every household in the city has handed down the same tale.，，；When the oil runs dry, everyone says that the Buddha has accepted the lantern offering, and then the five grains will naturally yield a bountiful harvest.，，。But if in any year the oil does not run dry, the crops will fail from drought and wind and rain will fall out of season.。」That is why every household wishes to make this offering.”

，，。As they spoke, a roaring wind suddenly arose in midair, terrifying the lantern-viewers and sending them scattering in every direction.：「，。The monks could not keep their footing either and said, “Reverend master, let us go back.，，。」：「？」：「，，。The wind has come: it is the Buddha descending to bestow his blessing and view the lanterns.” Tang Seng asked, “How do you know it is the Buddha coming to see the lanterns?” The monks answered, “It is like this every year: before the third watch, a wind always comes.，。」：「，，，，。」。We know that it is the Buddhas descending to bestow blessings, and so everyone withdraws.” Tang Seng said, “This disciple is one who longs for the Buddha, invokes the Buddha, and worships the Buddha. On this splendid occasion, if the Buddhas truly descend, it would be a very good thing to bow before them here.” Though the monks repeatedly urged him, he would not leave.，，。Before long, three figures of Buddhas indeed appeared within the wind and approached the lanterns.，。Tang Seng hurried to the crest of the bridge and prostrated himself.：「，，。」，，，，。Xingzhe hastily pulled him up, saying, “Master, these are no good beings; they must be evil spirits.” Before he had finished speaking, the lantern light dimmed, and with a whoosh they seized Tang Seng, mounted the wind, and carried him away.！Alas!，。Who knew from what mountain or cave came these true monsters, who for years had masqueraded as Buddhas to view the Golden Lanterns?，。Bajie was so frightened that he searched on both sides, while Sha Seng called out in every direction.：「，。Xingzhe cried, “Brothers, there is no need to shout here.，。」：「，？」：「，，，。At the height of his joy, Master has met with sorrow: the demons have already carried him off.” The monks asked fearfully, “Grandfather, how do you know demons carried him away?” Xingzhe laughed and said, “So you mortals have failed to recognize them all these years and have been deceived by evil spirits, taking them for true Buddhas descending to bestow blessings and accepting this offering of lanterns.，，。Those who appeared in Buddha form when the wind came just now were three demons.，，，，。My master could not recognize them either. He went to the top of the bridge and bowed, whereupon they dimmed the lantern light by trickery, took vessels to hold the oil, and carried off my master as well.，。」：「，？」：「，，、，。」I was only a little slow in pursuing them, and so the three transformed into wind and fled.” Sha Seng asked, “Elder Brother, what are we to do now?” Xingzhe replied, “Do not hesitate. You two return to the monastery with the others and guard the horse and luggage, while old Sun follows this wind in pursuit.”

，，，：「。」，，、、、，。As the Great Sage searched for a path along the cliff, he saw four men driving three sheep down the western slope, all crying together, “Prosperity begins!” Flashing his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, the Great Sage looked carefully and recognized the four duty messengers presiding over the year, month, day, and hour, who had come in disguised forms.，，，。The Great Sage immediately drew out his iron cudgel and shook it until it was as thick as a rice bowl and some twelve feet long.，：「？」，，，：「，。」：「，，，，？Leaping down from the cliff, he shouted, “Where do you skulking, cringing fellows think you are going?” Seeing that he had exposed their ruse, the four duty gods hastily scattered the three sheep, resumed their true forms, stepped to the roadside, and bowed, saying, “Great Sage, forgive us, forgive us.” Xingzhe said, “I have had no occasion to employ you lately, and seeing old Sun take things easily, every one of you has grown slack. You do not even come to pay me a visit—what have you to say for yourselves?，？」：「，，，，。Why did you not secretly protect my master? Where have you all been?” The duty gods replied, “Your master relaxed his Chan resolve and lingered in pleasure at Ciyun Monastery in Jinping Prefecture. Thus, when prosperity reached its height, adversity arose, and when joy was fullest, sorrow came; now he has been captured by evil spirits.。The guardian Jialan deities beside him are still protecting him.，，。」：「，，，？」：「，，『』，。」，，，，：「？」：「，。Knowing that the Great Sage had pursued through the night, we feared you might not know this mountain country, and so came especially to bring you word.” Xingzhe asked, “If you came to bring word, why did you conceal your identities, drive three sheep before you, and go about shouting?” The duty gods replied, “We produced these three sheep to accord with the phrase ‘prosperity begins.’ It is called ‘the three yang usher in prosperity,’ and will break through your master’s present adversity.” Xingzhe angrily raised his cudgel to strike them, but seeing the meaning in their device, he spared them, put away his weapon, and turned his anger into delight, asking, “Is this mountain where the demons dwell?” The duty gods replied, “Indeed it is, indeed it is.，，。This mountain is called Qinglong Mountain, and within it is a cave called Xuanying Cave.：，，。Three demons dwell in the cave: the eldest is called Great King Bihan, the second Great King Bishu, and the third Great King Bichen.。These demons have been here for a thousand years.，，，，，。Since childhood they have loved to consume fragrant suhe oil. After becoming spirits, they came here disguised as Buddhas and deceived the officials and people of Jinping Prefecture into erecting the Golden Lanterns and filling them with fragrant suhe oil.，。Every year at the middle of the first month, they assume Buddha forms and come to collect the oil.，，，，。This year, when they saw your master, they recognized him as a holy monk and carried him into their cave as well. Within a few days they mean to cut his flesh to pieces and fry it in fragrant suhe oil before eating it.，。」Make haste and use your powers to rescue him.”

，，。With his single staff, Sun Wukong fought the three demons for a hundred and fifty rounds. Evening was drawing near, yet neither side had prevailed.，，。Then the Great King Warder of Dust flourished his knotted-rattan staff, leapt beyond the battle line, and waved his banner.，，，。The horde of ox-headed monsters swarmed forward, surrounded the Pilgrim in the heart of the encirclement, brandished their weapons, and rained chaotic blows upon him.，，。Seeing that matters had turned against him, the Pilgrim sprang aloft with a whoosh on his somersault cloud and fled the field in defeat.，，，。The demons did not pursue him, but recalled their horde, had supper prepared, and all ate their fill.，。They also had a lesser demon take a bowl to Tang Sanzang, intending to deal with him only after Sun Wukong and the others had been captured.，，。But the master, being both a lifelong abstainer from food after noon and overcome with grief, sat weeping and dared not let the food touch his lips; of this we shall say no more.

，：「？」：「，。」：「，？」：「？As they were speaking, the monks asked, “Lord Sun, will you take your evening meal?” The Pilgrim replied, “I may as well eat a little; though it would not matter if I ate nothing.” The monks said, “After fighting all day, my lord, can you not be hungry?” The Pilgrim laughed and said, “How could a mere scrap of a day make me hungry?。」，。Old Sun once went five hundred years without food or drink.” The monks did not know this was true and took it merely for a jest.，。Presently the food was brought, and the Pilgrim ate some.：「，，，。」：「！He said, “Let us settle down and sleep for now. Tomorrow we shall all go and confront them; if we capture the demon kings, we should be able to rescue Master.” Sha Seng, standing nearby, said, “What are you saying, Elder Brother?：『。』，，？As the proverb goes, ‘Delay brings wisdom.’ But suppose the demons do not sleep tonight and harm Master—what then?，，。It would be better to go now and raise such an uproar that they are caught unprepared; only then can we readily rescue Master.，。」，：「，。」，：「、，，，，，？」。If we delay even a little, I fear something may go wrong.” Hearing this, Bajie roused his divine might and said, “Brother Sha is right. Let us all take advantage of the moonlight and go subdue the demons.” The Pilgrim agreed and at once instructed the monks, “Guard our luggage and horses. When we have captured the demons, we shall bring them before the prefect as proof that their Buddhas were false, put an end to the levy of lamp oil, and relieve the hardships of the common people throughout the prefecture. Would that not be well?” The monks obeyed.，。The three of them then mounted their auspicious clouds and flew out of the city.：Indeed:

What it’s about

The pilgrims reach Jinping Prefecture during the Lantern Festival and stay at the Charity Cloud Monastery. The city displays elaborate lamps, but its most important annual observance is an offering of fragrant oil to three supposed Buddhas. Sanzang eagerly joins the worshippers. At midnight the three figures appear, summon a cold wind and carry him away, revealing that the objects of local devotion are spirits rather than enlightened beings.

Wukong, Bajie and Sha Wujing pursue the abductors to Green-Dragon Mountain and learn that they are three rhinoceros spirits living in Dark-Mystery Cave. The captive Sanzang is questioned and confined while his disciples challenge the cave. A festival meant to generate merit has instead provisioned predators with oil and delivered them a holy victim. The chapter closes after the first clashes, with disguise exposed but rescue still dependent on learning what powers the rhinoceroses command.

When it was written 背景

Lantern festivals traditionally join public spectacle, religious offering and hopes for blessing. Here repeated donations have made counterfeit sanctity an economic institution: the spirits consume a vast quantity of oil because the whole prefecture trusts their appearance. Learners can follow 元夜, 燈, 香油 and 佛 as celebration turns into abduction. The episode does not mock devotion itself; it asks how reverence can distinguish its proper object, a final variation on the novel's long concern with appearances that imitate religious authority.
