畢竟不知夫妻二人如何還魂，且聽下回分解。毕竟不知夫妻二人如何还魂，且听下回分解。
逐句解 Line by line
畢竟不知夫妻二人如何還魂，且聽下回分解。
毕竟不知夫妻二人如何还魂，且听下回分解。
But how, after all, this husband and wife returned to life is not yet known — so listen to the next chapter, where it will be made clear.
The storyteller's set formula (且聽下回分解) closing the chapter on a hook. 還魂 huán hún.
The chapter ends on the conventional cliff-hanger, deferring the resolution of Liu Quan and Li Cuilian's return — and the consternation the borrowed body will cause — to the chapter that follows. With Taizong restored, the underworld debts settled, and the Grand Mass pledged, the ground is laid for the great rite at which the pilgrimage to fetch the scriptures will at last be set in motion.
