Because I go with my master up to the West to fetch scriptures, we came here last night to seek lodging.

昨宵 (zuó xiāo) "last night"; 覓宿 (mì sù) "to seek lodging."

總評 Commentary

The tablet, meant as proof, is misread: the prince takes the monk for the very adept-thief returned in disguise and orders him seized — the recognition-token deepening the impasse rather than resolving it. Tripitaka’s terror and his comic reproach — “Protector of Horses, always courting disaster” — break the tension with the pilgrims’ familiar bickering.

Cornered, Wukong at last sheds the oracle-persona and speaks his own name — Sun Wukong, eldest disciple of the Tang Monk — beginning the plain, true account that will finally replace the fiction of “Establish-the-Emperor Ware.”
