The Four Great Heavenly Kings withdrew their troops and broke off the battle, and each reported his merits: some had taken tigers and leopards, some had taken lions and elephants, some had taken wolves, vermin, foxes, and raccoon-dogs.

At that time they pitched their camp anew, set up the great stockade, feasted the generals who had earned merit, gave their orders to the troops of the sky-net and earth-snare, and each, ringing bell and calling watchword, beleaguered the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, awaiting the great battle of the morrow.

賞𤛮 (shǎng láo): to feast and reward the troops. 𤛮 (U+246EE) is the chapter’s sole supra-BMP graph; OpenCC t2s maps it to 𤙯 (U+2466F) in the simplified text. 將 here = jiàng, the meritorious generals.

總評 Commentary

The chapter ends not on resolution but on stalemate, and the stalemate is precise: 更不曾捉著一個猴精 ("not a single monkey-spirit had been caught"). The hundred thousand troops, the eighteen-fold net, the whole astral army have netted only beasts — tigers, lions, foxes — and the one mind they came for remains untaken, watching from within the encircled mountain. The disproportion the quatrain named (one monkey against a hundred thousand) resolves, for now, into a siege that holds without subduing.

The closing couplet fixes the chapter’s image: 妖猴作亂驚天地，佈網張羅晝夜看 ("the monster-monkey, making havoc, has shaken Heaven and Earth; they spread the net and stretch the snare, and watch by day and night"). In the inner-alchemical reading this is the true state of the unstilled 心猿 at the episode’s close — not defeated, not reconciled, but contained: ringed by the very order it disrupted, held under ceaseless watch. The havoc cannot be undone by force alone, and the cosmos can only encircle what it cannot yet transform. The discipline the mind would not accept from within is imposed as a perimeter from without; the resolution the chapter withholds — the true subduing of the mind-monkey — is the work the whole novel still has before it.
