The fiend, taking it for one of his own routed imps calling out, turned his head and answered with a single cry.

回頭應了一聲 — "turned and answered once," 應 read yìng ("answer to a call"). The elder’s fatal mistake: to answer to his own name.

颼sōu的de裝zhuāng將jiāng進jìn去qù，被bèi行xíng者zhě貼tiē上shàng「太tài上shàng老lǎo君jūn急jí急jí如rú律lǜ令lìng奉fèng敕chì」的de帖tiě子zi。飕sōu的de装zhuāng将jiāng进jìn去qù，被bèi行xíng者zhě贴tiē上shàng「太tài上shàng老lǎo君jūn急jí急jí如rú律lǜ令lìng奉fèng敕chì」的de帖tiě子zi。

With a swoosh he was drawn inside, and Pilgrim pasted on the seal: “Most High Lord Lao — quick, quick, as by statute and decree!”

颼的裝將進去 — "in a flash bottled him," 將 the coverb (jiāng). The same Daoist talisman that sealed Silver-Horn now seals Gold-Horn; 行 forced to xíng.

只zhǐ見jiàn那nà七qī星xīng劍jiàn墜zhuì落luò塵chén埃āi，也yě歸guī了le行xíng者zhě。只zhǐ见jiàn那nà七qī星xīng剑jiàn坠zhuì落luò尘chén埃āi，也yě归guī了le行xíng者zhě。

Then he saw the Seven-Star Sword drop into the dust, and it too fell to Pilgrim.

也歸了行者 — "also went to Pilgrim," 行 forced to xíng. With the fiend gone, his last weapon is Wukong’s.

八bā戒jiè迎yíng著zhe道dào：「哥gē哥gē，寶bǎo劍jiàn你nǐ得dé了le，精jīng怪guài何hé在zài？」八bā戒jiè迎yíng著zhe道dào：「哥gē哥gē，宝bǎo剑jiàn你nǐ得dé了le，精jīng怪guài何hé在zài？」

Bajie came to meet him: “Brother, you’ve got the treasure-sword — but where is the goblin?”

迎著道 — "came to meet [him], saying," durative 著 (zhe); 你得了, "you got [it]," 得 read dé ("obtained").

行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào：「了liǎo了liǎo，已yǐ裝zhuāng在zài我wǒ這zhè瓶píng兒er裡lǐ也yě。」行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào：「了liǎo了liǎo，已yǐ装zhuāng在zài我wǒ这zhè瓶píng儿er里lǐ也yě。」

Pilgrim said with a laugh: “All done, all done — he’s bottled here in this little vase of mine.”

了了 (liǎo liǎo) — "done, finished!", 了 read liǎo; 瓶兒, "the little vase," 兒 the suffix (er); 行 forced to xíng.

沙shā僧sēng聽tīng說shuō，與yǔ八bā戒jiè十shí分fēn歡huān喜xǐ。沙shā僧sēng听tīng说shuō，与yǔ八bā戒jiè十shí分fēn欢huān喜xǐ。

Sha Monk, hearing this, was as overjoyed as Bajie.

十分歡喜 — "utterly delighted," 分 read fēn. The rescue is complete and the company reunited.

總評 Commentary

The trap closes. Mistaking Wukong’s summons for one of his own imps, the Gold-Horn King turns and answers to his name — and is drawn in a flash into the very vase he had boasted of, sealed by the same Lord-Lao talisman that took his brother. His last weapon, the Seven-Star Sword, drops into the dust and to Wukong.

The scene’s poetry is one of symmetry and reversal: the fiends’ own device, their own name-magic, their own talismanic seal, all turned against them in turn. Wukong’s cheerful “all done, all done” and the brothers’ shared joy close the long combat on a note of comic triumph, with every treasure now in the pilgrims’ hands.
