菩pú薩sà把bǎ如rú來lái識shí怪guài之zhī事shì說shuō了le一yí遍biàn。菩pú萨sà把bǎ如rú来lái识shí怪guài之zhī事shì说shuō了le一yí遍biàn。

The Bodhisattva told over the matter of the Tathāgata's knowing the monster.

說了一遍 — the chapter's recurring "one time through" for the last time, and for once the recital is not a plea but a report of something settled.

那nà獃dāi子zi十shí分fēn歡huān喜xǐ，稱chēng謝xiè不bú盡jìn。那nà呆dāi子zi十shí分fēn欢huān喜xǐ，称chēng谢xiè不bú尽jìn。

That idiot was delighted beyond measure, and gave thanks without end.

不盡 needs its 不 pinned at bú: a project-wide ruling lifts 盡 to jìn, a falling tone, after the automatic tone-shifting has already run on the rising-tone jǐn, so the two have to be brought back into line by hand. 十分 takes fēn; 稱 takes chēng.

師shī徒tú們men拜bài謝xiè了le，菩pú薩sà回huí海hǎi。师shī徒tú们men拜bài谢xiè了le，菩pú萨sà回huí海hǎi。

Master and disciples made their thanks, and the Bodhisattva returned to the sea.

Ten characters to dismiss the figure who has been carrying this case since the previous chapter.

卻què都dōu照zhào舊jiù合hé意yì同tóng心xīn，洗xǐ冤yuān解jiě怒nù。却què都dōu照zhào旧jiù合hé意yì同tóng心xīn，洗xǐ冤yuān解jiě怒nù。

And they were all as before, of one accord and one mind, their wrongs washed away and their anger dissolved.

合意同心 — of one accord and one mind — answers the 二心 of the chapter's title directly. 洗冤解怒 takes jiě, to dissolve.

又yòu謝xiè了le那nà村cūn舍shè人rén家jiā，整zhěng束shù行xíng囊náng、馬mǎ匹pǐ，找zhǎo大dà路lù而ér西xī。又yòu谢xiè了le那nà村cūn舍shè人rén家jiā，整zhěng束shù行xíng囊náng、马mǎ匹pǐ，找zhǎo大dà路lù而ér西xī。

They thanked the people of the village cottage once more, put their baggage and horse in order, and found the high road westward.

草舍 takes shè once more. 找大路而西 — five characters, and the pilgrimage is moving again.

總評 Commentary

卻都照舊合意同心 is the sentence the chapter has been travelling toward. 同心 — one mind — set against the 二心 of the title, and 照舊, just as before, insisting that nothing has been permanently lost. The party is restored to the state it was in before chapter fifty-six.

洗冤解怒 divides the repair between the two injured parties with some precision. 冤 is Wukong's — the wrong done to him, washed away. 怒 is Tripitaka's — the anger that expelled him, dissolved. Neither has apologised to the other. A Bodhisattva has simply declared the matter closed, and the narration reports the result rather than the process.

The last two segments dispose of everything remaining in thirty-one characters: thank the hosts, pack the baggage, take the road west. After five thousand characters of tribunals the novel is visibly impatient to be moving again.
