悄悄幹事
“Keep Quiet, I'll See to It”
豬八戒口裡作念道：「不好了，不好了，這道士果然有本事。令牌響了一下，果然就刮風。」行者道：「兄弟悄悄的，你們再莫與我說話，只管護持師父，等我幹事去來。」猪八戒口里作念道：「不好了，不好了，这道士果然有本事。令牌响了一下，果然就刮风。」行者道：「兄弟悄悄的，你们再莫与我说话，只管护持师父，等我干事去来。」

豬八戒口裡作念道：「不好了，不好了，這道士果然有本事。
猪八戒口里作念道：「不好了，不好了，这道士果然有本事。
Zhu Bajie muttered to himself, “This is bad, this is bad — this Daoist really does have the power.
作念 "to mutter to oneself." 不好了: the third tone of 好 keeps 不 at bù. 果然有本事 "really does have the skill" -- Bajie conceding the match after one gust of wind.
令牌響了一下，果然就刮風。」
令牌响了一下，果然就刮风。」
One crack of the tablet, and sure enough the wind is up.”
響了一下: the falling tone of 下 pulls 一 to yí. 刮風 "the wind blows."
行者道：「兄弟悄悄的，你們再莫與我說話，只管護持師父，等我幹事去來。」
行者道：「兄弟悄悄的，你们再莫与我说话，只管护持师父，等我干事去来。」
Pilgrim said, “Brothers, keep quiet; the rest of you say nothing more to me, only guard our master well, and wait while I go and see to the business.”
行者: 行 = xíng. 悄悄的 "quietly." 只管護持 "just keep guarding him." 幹事去來 "off to see to the business" -- deliberately vague, and the vagueness is for Bajie's benefit as much as ours.
總評 Commentary
Bajie's dismay measures how convincing the rite looks from ground level, and his panic is useful: it tells the reader that the wind is real and that nobody on the pilgrims' side arranged it.
Wukong's reply is four short orders -- keep quiet, say nothing to me, guard the master, wait. This is the moment he stops being an advocate and becomes an operator. The contest will not be settled on the altar; it will be settled in the air above it, out of everyone's sight.
