卻說寺僧天明不見了三藏師徒，都道：「不曾留得，不曾別得，不曾求告得，清清的把個活菩薩放得走了。」正說處，只見南關廂有幾個大戶來請。Now, when daylight came and the monastery monks found that Sanzang and his disciples were gone, they all said, “We could not persuade them to stay, could not bid them farewell, could not make our entreaties; we simply let a living bodhisattva walk away.” As they were speaking, several wealthy householders from the southern suburb arrived to invite them.眾僧撲掌道：「昨晚不曾防禦，今夜都駕雲去了。」眾人齊望空拜謝。The monks clapped their hands and said, “We failed to keep watch last night, and during the night they all mounted the clouds and departed.” The visitors together gazed skyward, bowing in gratitude.此言一講，滿城中官員人等盡皆知之。Once this story spread, every official and inhabitant in the city came to know of it.叫此大戶人家，俱治辦五牲花果，往生祠祭獻酬恩不題。The wealthy households were instructed to prepare the five sacrificial animals, flowers, and fruit, and to offer them at the shrine of the living saint in gratitude for his grace; of this we shall say no more.

却说寺僧天明不见了三藏师徒，都道：「不曾留得，不曾别得，不曾求告得，清清的把个活菩萨放得走了。」正说处，只见南关厢有几个大户来请。众僧扑掌道：「昨晚不曾防御，今夜都驾云去了。」众人齐望空拜谢。此言一讲，满城中官员人等尽皆知之。叫此大户人家，俱治办五牲花果，往生祠祭献酬恩不题。

卻說唐僧四眾餐風宿水，一路平寧，行有半個多月。Sanzang and his three companions, meanwhile, ate in the wind and slept beside the waters; their journey was peaceful, and more than half a month passed.忽一日，見座高山。Then one day they saw a lofty mountain.唐僧又悚懼道：「徒弟，那前面山嶺峻峭，是必小心。」行者笑道：「這邊路上將近佛地，斷乎無甚妖邪，師父放懷勿慮。」唐僧道：「徒弟，雖然佛地不遠，但前日那寺僧說，到天竺國都下有二千里，還不知是有多少路哩。」行者道：「師父，你好是又把烏巢禪師《心經》忘記了也。」三藏道：「《般若心經》是我隨身衣缽，自那烏巢禪師教後，那一日不念？Sanzang again grew fearful and said, “Disciple, those ridges ahead are steep and rugged; we must be careful.” Wukong laughed and said, “Along this road we are drawing close to the Buddha’s land. There can certainly be no great fiends or evil spirits, so set your mind at ease, Master, and do not worry.” Sanzang said, “Disciple, though the Buddha’s land is not far away, the monk at the monastery said the capital of Tianzhu was two thousand li distant, and we still do not know how much farther we must go.” Wukong said, “Master, you seem to have forgotten the Heart Sutra taught you by the Chan Master Wuchao yet again.” Sanzang said, “The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra is the robe and alms bowl I always carry with me. Since the Chan Master Wuchao taught it to me, on what day have I failed to recite it?那一時得忘？When have I ever forgotten it?顛倒也念得來，怎會忘得？」行者道：「師父只是念得，不曾求那師父解得。」三藏說：「猴頭，怎又說我不曾解得？I can recite it even backward—how could I have forgotten it?” Wukong said, “Master, you can only recite it; you never sought from that master an understanding of it.” Sanzang said, “Monkey, why do you again say that I have never understood it?你解得麼？」行者道：「我解得，我解得。」自此，三藏、行者再不作聲。Do you understand it, then?” Wukong said, “I understand it, I understand it.” After that, neither Sanzang nor Wukong spoke another word.旁邊笑倒一個八戒，喜壞一個沙僧，說道：「嘴巴，替我一般的做妖精出身，又不是那裡禪和子聽過講經，那裡應佛僧也曾見過說法。At their side Bajie doubled over laughing, while Wujing was delighted. Bajie said, “You loudmouth! You were born a monster just as I was; you are no Chan monk who has heard the scriptures expounded, nor have you ever seen a Buddhist monk preach the Dharma.弄虛頭，找架子，說甚麼『曉得』、『解得』。Putting on airs and striking a pose, you talk of ‘knowing’ and ‘understanding.’怎麼就不作聲？Why have you suddenly fallen silent?聽講，請解。」沙僧說：「二哥，你也信他？Let us hear your discourse—please explain it.” Wujing said, “Second Brother, do you believe him too?大哥扯長話，哄師父走路。Elder Brother was merely spinning out talk to coax Master onward.他曉得弄棒罷了，他那裡曉得講經？」三藏道：「悟能、悟淨，休要亂說。He knows how to wield his cudgel, and that is all; how could he know how to expound scripture?” Sanzang said, “Wuneng, Wujing, do not talk nonsense.悟空解得是無言語文字，乃是真解。」Wukong’s understanding lies beyond speech and writing; that is true understanding.”

他师徒们正说话间，却倒也走过许多路程，离了几个山冈，路旁早见一座大寺。三藏道：「悟空，前面是座寺啊。你看那寺，倒也：

行者看得是「布金禪寺」，八戒也道是「布金禪寺」。Wukong made out the words “Bujin Chan Monastery,” and Bajie likewise read them as “Bujin Chan Monastery.”三藏在馬上沉思道：「『布金』……『布金』……Sitting on his horse, Sanzang pondered, “‘Bujin’—‘Gold-Paved’...這莫不是舍衛國界了麼？」八戒道：「師父，奇啊！Can this be within the borders of Shewei?” Bajie said, “How remarkable, Master!我跟師父幾年，再不曾見識得路，今日也識得路了？」三藏說道：「不是。I have followed you for years and never known you to recognize the road, but today you know where we are?” Sanzang said, “That is not it.我常看經誦典，說是佛在舍衛城祗樹給孤園。I have often read the sutras and recited the sacred texts, which say that the Buddha stayed in Prince Jeta’s Grove, Anathapindika’s Garden, at the city of Shewei.這園說是給孤獨長者問太子買了，請佛講經。It is said that the elder Anathapindika asked to buy this garden from the prince so that he might invite the Buddha to preach.太子說：『我這園不賣，他若要買我的時，除非黃金滿布園地。』給孤獨長者聽說，隨以黃金為磚，布滿園地，才買得太子祗園，才請得世尊說法。The prince said, ‘My garden is not for sale. If he wishes to buy it, he may do so only if he covers the entire ground with gold.’ Hearing this, the elder Anathapindika at once used gold as paving bricks and covered the whole garden, and only then did he obtain Prince Jeta’s Grove and invite the World-Honored One to preach the Dharma.我想這布金寺莫非就是這個故事？」八戒笑道：「造化，若是就是這個故事，我們也去摸他塊把磚兒送人。」大家又笑了一會，三藏才下得馬來。I wonder whether the name Bujin Monastery comes from that very story?” Bajie laughed and said, “What luck! If this truly is the place from that story, let us go and feel around for a brick or two to give away.” They all laughed for a while, and then Sanzang dismounted.

行者看得是「布金禅寺」，八戒也道是「布金禅寺」。三藏在马上沉思道：「『布金』……『布金』……这莫不是舍卫国界了么？」八戒道：「师父，奇啊！我跟师父几年，再不曾见识得路，今日也识得路了？」三藏说道：「不是。我常看经诵典，说是佛在舍卫城祗树给孤园。这园说是给孤独长者问太子买了，请佛讲经。太子说：『我这园不卖，他若要买我的时，除非黄金满布园地。』给孤独长者听说，随以黄金为砖，布满园地，才买得太子祗园，才请得世尊说法。我想这布金寺莫非就是这个故事？」八戒笑道：「造化，若是就是这个故事，我们也去摸他块把砖儿送人。」大家又笑了一会，三藏才下得马来。

進得山門，只見山門下挑擔的，背包的，推車的，整車坐下：也有睡的去睡，講的去講。Upon entering the mountain gate, they saw beneath it men carrying shoulder poles, men with packs on their backs, and men pushing carts, sitting there with their whole loads: some had gone to sleep, while others sat talking.忽見他們師徒四眾，俊的又俊，醜的又醜，大家有些害怕，卻也就讓開些路兒。When these people suddenly saw the four travelers—some exceedingly handsome and others exceedingly ugly—they were all somewhat frightened, but moved aside to clear a path.三藏生怕惹事，口中不住只叫：「斯文，斯文。」這時節，卻也大家收斂。Fearing trouble, Sanzang kept calling, “Observe decorum, observe decorum.” At that, everyone restrained himself.轉過金剛殿後，早有一位禪僧走出，卻也威儀不俗。Once they had passed behind the Hall of the Guardian Deities, a Chan monk came out to meet them, a man of no ordinary dignity.真是：Truly:

三藏见了问讯。那僧即忙还礼道：「师从何来？」三藏道：「弟子陈玄奘，奉东土大唐皇帝之旨，差往西天拜佛求经。路过宝方，造次奉谒，便借一宿，明日就行。」那僧道：「荒山十方常住，都可随喜；况长老东土神僧，但得供养，幸甚。」三藏谢了，随即唤他三人同行。过了回廊香积，径入方丈。相见礼毕，分宾主坐定。行者三人，亦垂手坐了。

話說這時寺中聽說到了東土大唐取經僧人，寺中若大若小，不問長住、掛榻、長老、行童，一一都來參見。When word spread through the monastery that scripture-seeking monks from the Great Tang in the Eastern Land had arrived, everyone, great and small—whether permanent resident or passing guest, elder monk or young novice—came one by one to pay his respects.茶罷，擺上齋供。After tea, a vegetarian meal was laid out.這時長老還正開齋念偈，八戒早是要緊，饅頭、素食、粉湯，一攪直下。While the elder was still reciting the opening verse before the meal, Bajie was already ravenous, and buns, vegetarian dishes, and vermicelli soup all went straight down together.這時方丈卻也人多，有知識的，讚說三藏威儀；The abbot’s quarters were now crowded: those of understanding praised Sanzang’s dignified bearing,好耍子的，都看八戒吃飯。while the fun-loving watched Bajie eat.卻說沙僧眼溜，看見頭底，暗把八戒捏了一把，說道：「斯文。」八戒著忙，急的叫將起來，說道：「斯文斯文，肚裡空空。」沙僧笑道：「二哥，你不曉的。Wujing’s eyes darted about, and when he saw all the staring faces, he secretly pinched Bajie and said, “Observe decorum.” Bajie grew flustered and cried out urgently, “Decorum, decorum—but my belly is hollow!” Wujing laughed and said, “Second Brother, you do not understand.天下多少斯文，若論起肚子裡來，正替你我一般哩。」八戒方才肯住。There are many refined gentlemen under Heaven who, if you speak of what lies inside their bellies, are exactly like you and me.” Only then did Bajie agree to stop.三藏念了結齋，左右徹了席面，三藏稱謝。Sanzang recited the closing prayer, the attendants cleared the table, and Sanzang offered his thanks.

话说这时寺中听说到了东土大唐取经僧人，寺中若大若小，不问长住、挂榻、长老、行童，一一都来参见。茶罢，摆上斋供。这时长老还正开斋念偈，八戒早是要紧，馒头、素食、粉汤，一搅直下。这时方丈却也人多，有知识的，赞说三藏威仪；好耍子的，都看八戒吃饭。却说沙僧眼溜，看见头底，暗把八戒捏了一把，说道：「斯文。」八戒著忙，急的叫将起来，说道：「斯文斯文，肚里空空。」沙僧笑道：「二哥，你不晓的。天下多少斯文，若论起肚子里来，正替你我一般哩。」八戒方才肯住。三藏念了结斋，左右彻了席面，三藏称谢。

寺僧問起東土來因，三藏說到古跡，才問布金寺名之由。The monastery monks asked why he had come from the Eastern Land. Sanzang related his mission, then, thinking of the ancient site, asked the origin of the name Bujin Monastery.那僧答曰：「這寺原是舍衛國給孤獨園寺，又名祇園。The monk replied, “This monastery was originally the Anathapindika Garden Monastery of the kingdom of Shewei, also called Jeta Grove.因是給孤獨長者請佛講經，金磚布地，又易今名。Because the elder Anathapindika invited the Buddha to preach and paved the ground with bricks of gold, its name was later changed to the present one.我這寺一望之前，乃是舍衛國。The land stretching before our monastery was once the kingdom of Shewei.那時給孤獨長者正在舍衛國居住，我荒山原是長者之祗園，因此遂名給孤布金寺。At that time the elder Anathapindika lived in Shewei, while this humble mountain was originally his Jeta Grove; hence the monastery came to be called the Anathapindika Gold-Paved Monastery.寺後邊還有祗園基址。Behind the monastery, the foundations of Jeta Grove still remain.近年間，若遇時雨滂沱，還淋出金銀珠兒。In recent years, whenever torrential seasonal rains fall, they still wash out little pieces of gold, silver, and precious stones.有造化的，每每拾著。」三藏道：「話不虛傳果是真。」又問道：「才進寶山，見門下兩廊有許多騾馬車擔的行商，為何在此歇宿？」眾僧道：「我這山喚做百腳山。Those with good fortune often pick them up.” Sanzang said, “The tale handed down is no falsehood; it is indeed true.” He then asked, “When we first entered your honored mountain, I saw beneath the gate and along the two covered walks many traveling merchants with mules, horses, carts, and shoulder loads. Why are they lodging here?” The monks answered, “This mountain of ours is called Baijiao Mountain.先年且是太平，近因天氣循環，不知怎的，生幾個蜈蚣精，常在路下傷人；In former years it was entirely peaceful, but lately, through some change in the seasons, we know not how, several centipede spirits have appeared and often injure people on the road below.雖不至於傷命，其實人不敢走。Though they do not actually take lives, people truly dare not travel there.山下有一座關，喚做雞鳴關。At the foot of the mountain stands a pass called Jiming Pass.但到雞鳴之時，才敢過去。Only when the cock crows do people dare go through.那些客人因到晚了，惟恐不便，權借荒山一宿，等雞鳴後便行。」三藏道：「我們也等雞鳴後去罷。」師徒們正說處，又見拿上齋來，卻與唐僧等吃畢。Those travelers arrived too late in the day and feared the inconvenience, so they have borrowed lodging for the night in our humble monastery and will leave after cockcrow.” Sanzang said, “Then let us also wait until the cock crows before departing.” While master and disciples were still talking, another vegetarian meal was brought, and the Tang monk and his companions ate their fill.

寺僧问起东土来因，三藏说到古迹，才问布金寺名之由。那僧答曰：「这寺原是舍卫国给孤独园寺，又名祇园。因是给孤独长者请佛讲经，金砖布地，又易今名。我这寺一望之前，乃是舍卫国。那时给孤独长者正在舍卫国居住，我荒山原是长者之祗园，因此遂名给孤布金寺。寺后边还有祗园基址。近年间，若遇时雨滂沱，还淋出金银珠儿。有造化的，每每拾著。」三藏道：「话不虚传果是真。」又问道：「才进宝山，见门下两廊有许多骡马车担的行商，为何在此歇宿？」众僧道：「我这山唤做百脚山。先年且是太平，近因天气循环，不知怎的，生几个蜈蚣精，常在路下伤人；虽不至于伤命，其实人不敢走。山下有一座关，唤做鸡鸣关。但到鸡鸣之时，才敢过去。那些客人因到晚了，惟恐不便，权借荒山一宿，等鸡鸣后便行。」三藏道：「我们也等鸡鸣后去罢。」师徒们正说处，又见拿上斋来，却与唐僧等吃毕。

此時上弦月皎。By then the waxing moon shone brightly.三藏與行者步月閑行，又見個道人來報道：「我們老師爺要見見中華人物。」三藏急轉身，見一個老和尚，手持竹杖，向前作禮道：「此位就是中華來的師父？」三藏答禮道：「不敢。」老僧稱讚不已，因問：「老師高壽？」三藏道：「虛度四十五年矣。Sanzang and Wukong were strolling idly in the moonlight when a Daoist attendant came to announce, “Our venerable master wishes to meet the distinguished visitors from Zhonghua.” Sanzang quickly turned and saw an old monk, bamboo staff in hand, come forward and salute him, saying, “Are you the master who has come from Zhonghua?” Sanzang returned the salute and said, “I am unworthy.” The old monk praised him without cease, then asked, “What is your honored age, Master?” Sanzang said, “I have idly passed forty-five years.敢問老院主尊壽？」老僧笑道：「比老師痴長一花甲也。」行者道：「今年是一百零五歲了。May I ask the venerable abbot’s honored age?” The old monk laughed and said, “I have foolishly grown older than you by one full cycle of sixty years.” Wukong said, “Then you are one hundred and five this year.你看我有多少年紀？」老僧道：「師家貌古神清，況月夜眼花，急看不出來。」敘了一會，又向後廊看看。How old do you think I am?” The old monk replied, “Your features are ancient and your spirit clear; besides, my eyes are dim in the moonlight, so at a glance I cannot tell.” After conversing for a while, they went to look along the rear gallery.三藏道：「才說給孤園基址，果在何處？」老僧道：「後門外就是。──快教開門。」但見是一塊空地，還有些碎石疊的牆腳。Sanzang said, “You spoke just now of the foundations of Anathapindika’s Garden. Where exactly are they?” The old monk replied, “Just outside the rear gate.—Quickly, have the gate opened.” There they saw a vacant plot with the footings of walls still piled from broken stones.三藏合掌嘆曰：Sanzang joined his palms and sighed:

此时上弦月皎。三藏与行者步月闲行，又见个道人来报道：「我们老师爷要见见中华人物。」三藏急转身，见一个老和尚，手持竹杖，向前作礼道：「此位就是中华来的师父？」三藏答礼道：「不敢。」老僧称赞不已，因问：「老师高寿？」三藏道：「虚度四十五年矣。敢问老院主尊寿？」老僧笑道：「比老师痴长一花甲也。」行者道：「今年是一百零五岁了。你看我有多少年纪？」老僧道：「师家貌古神清，况月夜眼花，急看不出来。」叙了一会，又向后廊看看。三藏道：「才说给孤园基址，果在何处？」老僧道：「后门外就是。──快教开门。」但见是一块空地，还有些碎石叠的墙脚。三藏合掌叹曰：

他都玩著月，緩緩而行。They all enjoyed the moonlight as they walked slowly along.行近後門外，至臺上，又坐了一坐，忽聞得有啼哭之聲。As they drew near the rear gate and reached a raised terrace, they sat for a while, when suddenly they heard the sound of weeping.三藏靜心誠聽，哭的是爺娘不知苦痛之言。Sanzang stilled his heart and listened intently; the weeper was lamenting that her father and mother knew nothing of her suffering.他就感觸心酸，不覺淚墮，回問眾僧道：「是甚人在何處悲切？」老僧見問，即命眾僧先回去煎茶。His heart ached with sympathy, and tears fell unbidden. He turned and asked the monks, “Who is grieving so bitterly, and where?” When questioned, the old monk at once ordered the other monks to return and brew tea.見無人，方才對唐僧、行者下拜。Only when no one else remained did he bow down before the Tang monk and Wukong.三藏攙起道：「老院主，為何行此禮？」老僧道：「弟子年歲百餘，略通人事，每於禪靜之間，也曾見過幾番景象。Sanzang helped him up and said, “Venerable abbot, why do you perform this courtesy?” The old monk replied, “This disciple is over a hundred years old and has some small understanding of human affairs. In the stillness of meditation I have also witnessed certain visions several times.若老爺師徒，弟子聊知一二，與他人不同。As for your reverence and your disciples, I know a little about you, and you are not like other men.若言悲切之事，非這位師家明辨不得。」行者道：「你且說，是甚事？」老僧道：「舊年今日，弟子正明性月之時，忽聞一陣風響，就有悲怨之聲。As for the sorrowful matter, it cannot be discerned unless this master here judges it clearly.” Wukong said, “Tell us first—what is the matter?” The old monk replied, “On this very day last year, while this disciple was illuminating the moon of his true nature, I suddenly heard a rush of wind, followed by a sound of sorrowful complaint.弟子下榻，到祗園基上看處，乃是一個美貌端正之女。This disciple rose from his couch and went to look at the foundations of Jeta Grove, where I found a beautiful and comely young woman.我問他：『你是誰家女子？I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?為甚到於此地？』那女子道：『我是天竺國國王的公主，因為月下觀花，被風刮來的。』我將他鎖在一間敝空房裡，將那房砌作個監房模樣，門上止留一小孔，僅遞得碗過。Why have you come to this place?’ The woman replied, ‘I am the princess of the kingdom of Tianzhu. While viewing flowers by moonlight, I was swept here by the wind.’ I locked her in a dilapidated, empty room and had it walled up like a prison cell, leaving only a small hole in the door, just large enough for a bowl to pass through.當日與眾僧傳道：『是個妖邪，被我綑了。』但我僧家乃慈悲之人，不肯傷他性命。That day I told the other monks, ‘She is an evil spirit whom I have bound.’ But we of the monastic order are compassionate and would not take her life.每日與他兩頓粗茶粗飯，吃著度命。Each day we give her two meals of coarse tea and plain rice to keep her alive.那女子也聰明，即解吾意。The woman is intelligent and immediately understood my intention.恐為眾僧點污，就裝風作怪，尿裡眠，屎裡臥。Fearing that the monks might violate her, she feigns madness, sleeping in her urine and lying in her filth.白日家說胡話，呆呆鄧鄧的；By day she talks nonsense and acts witless and dazed;到夜靜處，卻思量父母啼哭。only in the stillness of night does she think of her parents and weep.我幾番家進城來去打探公主之事，全然無損。Several times I have gone into the city to inquire about the princess, but I have heard that she is perfectly safe and sound.故此堅收緊鎖，更不放出。For that reason I keep this woman closely confined and will not release her.今幸老師來國，萬望到了國中，廣施法力，辨明辨明：一則救拔良善，二則昭顯神通也。」三藏與行者聽罷，切切在心。Now, fortunately, you have come to this kingdom. I earnestly hope that once you reach the capital, you will employ your great powers and determine the truth: first, to rescue the innocent, and second, to display your divine abilities.” When Sanzang and Wukong had heard him out, they took the matter deeply to heart.

他都玩著月，缓缓而行。行近后门外，至台上，又坐了一坐，忽闻得有啼哭之声。三藏静心诚听，哭的是爷娘不知苦痛之言。他就感触心酸，不觉泪堕，回问众僧道：「是甚人在何处悲切？」老僧见问，即命众僧先回去煎茶。见无人，方才对唐僧、行者下拜。三藏搀起道：「老院主，为何行此礼？」老僧道：「弟子年岁百余，略通人事，每于禅静之间，也曾见过几番景象。若老爷师徒，弟子聊知一二，与他人不同。若言悲切之事，非这位师家明辨不得。」行者道：「你且说，是甚事？」老僧道：「旧年今日，弟子正明性月之时，忽闻一阵风响，就有悲怨之声。弟子下榻，到祗园基上看处，乃是一个美貌端正之女。我问他：『你是谁家女子？为甚到于此地？』那女子道：『我是天竺国国王的公主，因为月下观花，被风刮来的。』我将他锁在一间敝空房里，将那房砌作个监房模样，门上止留一小孔，仅递得碗过。当日与众僧传道：『是个妖邪，被我捆了。』但我僧家乃慈悲之人，不肯伤他性命。每日与他两顿粗茶粗饭，吃著度命。那女子也聪明，即解吾意。恐为众僧点污，就装风作怪，尿里眠，屎里卧。白日家说胡话，呆呆邓邓的；到夜静处，却思量父母啼哭。我几番家进城来去打探公主之事，全然无损。故此坚收紧锁，更不放出。今幸老师来国，万望到了国中，广施法力，辨明辨明：一则救拔良善，二则昭显神通也。」三藏与行者听罢，切切在心。

正說處，只見兩個小和尚請吃茶安置，遂而回去。As they were speaking, two young monks came to invite them back for tea and rest, so they returned.八戒與沙僧在方丈中，突突噥噥的道：「明日要雞鳴走路，此時還不來睡。」行者道：「獃子又說甚麼？」八戒道：「睡了罷，這等夜深，還看甚麼景致？」因此，老僧散去，唐僧就寢。In the abbot’s quarters, Bajie and Wujing were muttering, “We must set out at cockcrow tomorrow, yet even now they will not come to bed.” Wukong said, “Idiot, what are you grumbling about now?” Bajie replied, “Come to bed. It is so late—what scenery is there still to see?” Thereupon the old monk withdrew, and the Tang monk retired.正是那：Just so:

当夜睡还未久，即听鸡鸣。那前边行商烘烘皆起，引灯造饭。这长老也唤醒八戒、沙僧，扣马收拾，行者叫点灯来。那寺僧已先起来，安排茶汤点心，在后候敬。八戒欢喜，吃了一盘饝饝，把行李、马匹牵出。三藏、行者对众辞谢。老僧又向行者道：「悲切之事，在心，在心。」行者笑道：「谨领，谨领。我到城中，自能聆音而察理，见貌而辨色也。」那伙行商哄哄嚷嚷的，也一同上了大路。将有寅时，过了鸡鸣关。至巳时，方见城垣。真是铁瓮金城，神洲天府。那城：

當日入於東市街，眾商各投旅店。That day they entered by the eastern market street, and the merchants each made for an inn.他師徒們進城，正走處，有一個會同館驛，三藏等徑入驛內。As master and disciples entered the city and went along, they came upon a Huitong government hostel and went straight inside.那驛內管事的即報驛丞道：「外面有四個異樣的和尚，牽一匹白馬進來了。」驛丞聽說有馬，就知是官差的，出廳迎迓。A steward at the hostel immediately reported to the postmaster, “Four very unusual-looking monks have come in from outside, leading a white horse.” Hearing that they had a horse, the postmaster knew they were on official business and came out into the hall to welcome them.三藏施禮道：「貧僧是東土唐朝欽差靈山大雷音見佛求經的，隨身有關文，入朝照驗。Sanzang saluted him and said, “This poor monk is an imperial envoy of the Tang court in the Eastern Land, sent to meet the Buddha at the Great Thunderclap Monastery on Lingshan and obtain the scriptures. I carry an official passport, which I must present at court for inspection.借大人高衙一歇，事畢就行。」驛丞答禮道：「此衙門原設待使客之處，理當款迓。I ask to rest briefly in your honor’s fine hostel and shall leave when my business is done.” The postmaster returned the salute and said, “This office was established expressly to receive envoys and travelers; it is only proper that we entertain you.請進，請進。」三藏喜悅，教徒弟們都來相見。Please enter, please enter.” Sanzang was delighted and called all his disciples forward to be introduced.那驛丞看見嘴臉醜陋，暗自心驚，不知是人是鬼，戰兢兢的，只得看茶擺齋。When the postmaster saw their ugly faces, he was secretly terrified, not knowing whether they were men or ghosts. Trembling with fear, he could do nothing but serve tea and arrange a vegetarian meal.三藏見他驚怕，道：「大人勿驚，我等三個徒弟，相貌雖醜，心地俱良。Seeing his fear, Sanzang said, “Do not be alarmed, sir. Though my three disciples are ugly in appearance, all possess good hearts.俗謂『面惡人善』，何以懼為？」As the common saying goes, ‘A fearsome face may hide a kindly man.’ Why should you be afraid?”
