At these words the Pilgrim leapt down from the cliff, took Bajie by the hand, and said: "Worthy brother, you’ve come a long way for my sake — come, play a while with me first."

攙住 is "to take by the arm"; in 耍耍兒 the colloquial is er. Wukong’s sudden warmth — leaping down, taking Bajie’s hand — signals that the flattery has softened him.

Bajie said: "Brother, this place is far off — I fear the master will be watching for us and we’ll be late; I’ll not stop to play."

The Pilgrim said: "Since you’ve come all this way, at least look at my mountain scenery — how do you find it?"

總評 Commentary

The power has shifted back to Wukong. Softened by the flattery yet in no hurry to leave, he insists on showing Bajie the mountain first — and Bajie, for all his anxiety about the errand, "dares not refuse outright" and must trail along. The small comedy of the tour, imposed by the host on the impatient guest, re-establishes Wukong’s command and delays, teasingly, the resolution the plot is driving toward.
