The host of fiends carried out the armor, and the second fiend girded himself trim and complete, grasped his precious sword, and went out the gate, shouting: “Sun the Pilgrim, where have you run off to?” By this time the Great Sage was already up in the clouds; hearing his name called, he turned his head to look, and there was that second fiend.

結束齊整 (jié shù qí zhěng), "girded trim and complete." 你往那裡走了 (nǐ wǎng nǎ lǐ zǒu le), "where have you run off to?" — interrogative nǎ; but 原來是那二魔 (yuán lái shì nà èr mó), "there was that second fiend," deictic nà. 聞得 (wén de), "hearing," complement de.

See how he was arrayed:

你看他怎生打扮 (nǐ kàn tā zěn shēng dǎ bàn), "see how he was arrayed" — the storyteller's formula ushering in the arming-portrait.

On his head a phoenix helm to shame the year-end snow; on his back battle-mail agleam like polished steel.

鳳盔欺臘雪 (fèng kuī qī là xuě), "a phoenix helm outshining the twelfth-month snow." 戰甲幌鑌鐵 (zhàn jiǎ huǎng bīn tiě), "battle-mail glinting like fine steel" — 鑌鐵, tempered iron.

At his waist a belt of python-dragon sinew; on soft leather boots the plum-blossom pleats.

蟒龍觔 (mǎng lóng jīn), "python-dragon sinew" — 觔, a variant of 筋, sinew. 粉皮靴靿梅花摺 (fěn pí xuē yào méi huā zhé), "soft-leather boot-tops in plum-blossom pleats.”

His face like the living True Lord of the Guankou shrine; his mien matched with Mighty-Spirit, no whit apart.

灌口活真君 (guàn kǒu huó zhēn jūn), "the living True Lord of Guankou" — Erlang, the deity of the Guankou shrine. 巨靈 (jù líng), the Mighty-Spirit god who split the sacred peak — both invoked for the fiend's martial grandeur.

A seven-star sword upheld in his hand; his wrath surging to the heavens, awesome and fierce.

七星寶劍手中擎 (qī xīng bǎo jiàn shǒu zhōng qíng), "a seven-star sword upheld in hand" — 中 read zhōng. 怒氣沖霄 (nù qì chōng xiāo), "his wrath surging skyward," the portrait's closing note of ferocity.

總評 Commentary

The chapter's second set-piece verse arms the second fiend for battle, and its idiom is martial where the matriarch's was matronly: phoenix helm, steel mail, python-sinew belt, plum-pleated boots, a seven-star sword upheld and wrath surging to heaven. The catalogue dresses the demon in the full regalia of a warrior-god, and the comparisons make the claim explicit — his face like Erlang of Guankou, his bearing matched with the peak-splitting Mighty-Spirit.

The portrait's function is to raise the stakes before the fight. Where the earlier verse invited the reader to see through a disguise, this one invites respect for a genuine adversary: the second fiend is no gulled crone but a formidable combatant, and the honor-guard of divine likenesses signals that Wukong has at last drawn an opponent worth three bouts. Armed and enraged, the fiend goes out to challenge the Great Sage, and the chapter turns from stratagem to open war.
