Three readings in the roll call go against the automatic one and all three are mansion names. 斗 is dǒu, the Dipper; 貉 is hé, the animal rather than the colloquial name for its pelt; and 參 is shēn, the mansion, against the cān the very same character took at 同參禮 earlier in this chapter. 㺄 is yǔ: the Kāngxī dictionary makes it a variant of 貐, and that character is spelled 以主切, with 庾 given as its sound.

The demon king saw them, laughed a cold ha-ha, gave one whistle, and four or five thousand demons great and small, every one of them formidable and strong, joined in a general battle on the western slope.

哨子 is a whistle, the object, not the whistling — the signal that brings the numbers up. Four or five thousand against thirty-odd is the chapter saying plainly that this fight is not going to be won by counting.

總評 Commentary

The full roll of the twenty-eight lunar mansions, named to a formula. It is the longest single sentence in the chapter by a wide margin and it is pure inventory — a hundred and twenty-four characters during which nothing whatever happens.

The formula never varies: mansion, element, creature, three characters each, twenty-eight times without a stumble. The creatures are the only unpredictable part of it, and three of them — the xiè, the yǔ and the àn — are beasts that scarcely exist outside this list and the glosses written on it.

And then the parenthesis, the only aside of its kind in the chapter: （不領唐三藏，丟了白龍馬）. They did not bring the master, and they left the horse. The narrator puts both failures in brackets and moves straight on to the weapons.
