The fiend was fierce beyond measure: wielding his precious sword, its meteor-swift passes came rolling in, until Sha Monk, worn weak and hard put to parry, turned to flee.

流星的解數 (liú xīng de jiě shù), “sword-passes swift as shooting stars,” 解數, “the moves or figures of swordplay.” 戰得軟弱難搪 (zhàn de ruǎn ruò nán táng), “fought to weakness, hard put to fend off”; 搪, “to ward, parry.”

早zǎo被bèi他tā逼bī住zhù寶bǎo杖zhàng，掄lūn開kāi大dà手shǒu，撾zhuā住zhù沙shā僧sēng，挾xié在zài左zuǒ脅xié下xià；將jiāng右yòu手shǒu去qù馬mǎ上shàng拿ná了le三sān藏zàng，腳jiǎo尖jiān兒er鉤gōu著zhe行xíng李lǐ，張zhāng開kāi口kǒu咬yǎo著zhe馬mǎ鬃zōng；使shǐ起qǐ攝shè法fǎ，把bǎ他tā們men一yí陣zhèn風fēng，都dōu拿ná到dào蓮lián花huā洞dòng裡lǐ，厲lì聲shēng高gāo叫jiào道dào：「哥gē哥gē！早zǎo被bèi他tā逼bī住zhù宝bǎo杖zhàng，抡lūn开kāi大dà手shǒu，挝zhuā住zhù沙shā僧sēng，挟xié在zài左zuǒ胁xié下xià；将jiāng右yòu手shǒu去qù马mǎ上shàng拿ná了le三sān藏zàng，脚jiǎo尖jiān儿er钩gōu著zhe行xíng李lǐ，张zhāng开kāi口kǒu咬yǎo著zhe马mǎ鬃zōng；使shǐ起qǐ摄shè法fǎ，把bǎ他tā们men一yí阵zhèn风fēng，都dōu拿ná到dào莲lián花huā洞dòng里lǐ，厉lì声shēng高gāo叫jiào道dào：「哥gē哥gē！

At once the fiend pinned the staff fast, swung his great hand around, seized Sha Monk and clamped him under his left arm; with his right hand he plucked Tripitaka from the horse, hooked the baggage on his toe-tips, and, opening his mouth, gripped the horse's mane in his teeth; then, working a spell of snatching, he bore them all off on a gust of wind into the Lotus-Flower Cave, and cried in a great voice: “Brother!

挾在左脅下 (xié zài zuǒ xié xià), “clamped under the left flank”; 腳尖兒 (jiǎo jiān er), “toe-tips,” with the suffix 兒 (er). 攝法 (shè fǎ), “a fetching-spell.” 蓮花洞 (lián huā dòng), the “Lotus-Flower Cave,” the demons' lair.

這zhè和hé尚shàng都dōu拿ná來lái了le。」这zhè和hé尚shàng都dōu拿ná来lái了le。」

“I've caught all these monks and brought them here.”

都 (dōu), “all”; the Silver-Horned fiend announces his haul to his elder brother.

總評 Commentary

Sha Monk, the last guardian, is overmatched in a few strokes: the fiend pins his staff, and in one continuous, almost octopus-like motion sweeps up the whole party — Sha Monk under one arm, Tripitaka off the horse in the other hand, the baggage hooked on his toes, the horse's mane gripped in his teeth. The catalogue of grasping limbs is grimly comic and wholly efficient, the physical image of a plan that has closed on its prey.

With a fetching-spell the demon carries them off on the wind to the Lotus-Flower Cave, the lair that will govern the rest of the episode, and hails his elder brother with his triumph. The passage completes the reversal begun when Pilgrim was pinned: the party that set out under Monkey's protection is now, all but the buried Great Sage, delivered whole into the enemy's hands.
