總評 Commentary

A brief bridging scene closes the night flight: the exhausted pilgrims halt at daybreak, Sanzang chiding Wukong for the sleepless ride, while the tireless monkey romps in the trees. The little tableau—elder against a pine-root, Wujing dozing, Bajie pillowed on a stone—marks a pause before the scene cuts to the returning master of the abbey.
