Clear Wind said, "Master! Not long after you had taken your leave that day, there did come an Eastern Tang monk, a party of four monks with five horses in all.

"That old monk, with vulgar eyes and a dull heart, did not know the treasure of our immortal house.

俗眼愚心 (sú yǎn yú xīn) "vulgar eyes and a foolish heart"—unable to recognise a marvel. 仙家的寶貝 (xiānjiā de bǎobèi) "the treasure of the immortal household."

"he would not have it, but privately worked a spirit-projecting art.

不容 (bù róng) "would not allow it, would not have it." 弄了個出神的手段 (nòngle gè chū shén de shǒuduàn) "worked a spirit-projecting trick"—Wukong's sending-out of his true self.

苦kǔ啊a！苦kǔ啊a！

"Alas!"

苦啊 (kǔ a) "how bitter!"—the boy's cry of grief as he comes to the loss of the tree.

總評 Commentary

Clear Wind's testimony is a small marvel of self-serving accuracy: every fact is true—the courteous offer of two fruits, the master's refusal, the boys' eating one apiece, Wukong's theft of four, the reasoning, the spirit-magic—yet the telling casts the abbey as blameless host and the pilgrims as the aggressors. It is the mirror of Wukong's own exact confession earlier, the same events narrated from the injured side.

The account breaks off in tears at the memory of the felled tree, and the boys cannot finish—a stroke that measures, through their grief, the true value of what was lost. The narrative withholds the climactic word (the tree's destruction) for Bright Moon to supply in the next exchange, sharpening the pathos before the Great Immortal's response.
