The Taunt
那黃袍老怪出得門來，便問：「你是那方和尚，在我門首吆喝？」八戒道：「我兒子，你不認得？我是你老爺。我是大唐差往西天去的。我師父是那御弟三藏。若在你家內，趁早送出來，省了我釘鈀築進去。」那怪笑道：「是是是，有一個唐僧在我家，我也不曾怠慢他，安排些人肉包兒與他吃哩。你們也進去吃一個兒，何如？」那黄袍老怪出得门来，便问：「你是那方和尚，在我门首吆喝？」八戒道：「我儿子，你不认得？我是你老爷。我是大唐差往西天去的。我师父是那御弟三藏。若在你家内，趁早送出来，省了我钉钯筑进去。」那怪笑道：「是是是，有一个唐僧在我家，我也不曾怠慢他，安排些人肉包儿与他吃哩。你们也进去吃一个儿，何如？」

總評 Commentary
The exchange is pure bravado on both sides. Bajie, who an hour ago was snoring in the grass, blusters magnificently — “your Old Grandfather,” threatening to rake his way in — and the demon parries with mock-courtesy, admitting he holds the monk and offering the disciples “man-flesh dumplings” to share. The comedy is genuine, but it is comedy on the lip of horror: the demon's joke names exactly what he intends.
The demon's ease is again the point. He neither denies holding Tripitaka nor shows any alarm at two armed disciples; he simply taunts them into the fight he wants. Bajie's bluster, however loud, is walking straight into it — and only Sha Monk's restraint, in the next passage, keeps the blockhead from literally accepting the invitation to step inside.
