那nà妖yāo見jiàn天tiān晚wǎn，打dǎ個gè哨shào子zi，教jiào群qún妖yāo各gè各gè留liú心xīn，他tā卻què取qǔ出chū寶bǎo貝bèi。那nà妖yāo见jiàn天tiān晚wǎn，打dǎ个gè哨shào子zi，教jiào群qún妖yāo各gè各gè留liú心xīn，他tā却què取qǔ出chū宝bǎo贝bèi。

The demon saw that it was late, gave a whistle, told his host to look sharp and brought out his treasure.

The whistle is the same signal that brought four or five thousand demons onto the slope. 寶貝 is the chapter's second use of the word, and the first was a Guardian of the Five Quarters admitting he could not put a name to the cymbals.

孫sūn行xíng者zhě看kàn得de分fēn明míng：那nà怪guài解jiě下xià搭dā包bāo，拿ná在zài手shǒu中zhōng。孙sūn行xíng者zhě看kàn得de分fēn明míng：那nà怪guài解jiě下xià搭dā包bāo，拿ná在zài手shǒu中zhōng。

Sun the Pilgrim saw it clearly: the monster loosed the bag from his waist and took it in his hand.

He is the only one who sees it coming, and what he does about that is the whole passage. 得 is de in 看得, linking the looking to how well it was done.

行xíng者zhě道dào聲shēng：「不bù好hǎo了le，走zǒu啊a！」行xíng者zhě道dào声shēng：「不bù好hǎo了le，走zǒu啊a！」

Pilgrim called out, "This is bad — run!"

Nine graphs, carrying their own attribution and closing their own quotation. It is a warning — and the next sentence makes plain that he does not wait to find out whether anybody has taken it.

他tā就jiù顧gù不bù得de八bā戒jiè、沙shā僧sēng、諸zhū天tiān等děng眾zhòng，一yí路lù觔jīn斗dǒu，跳tiào上shàng九jiǔ霄xiāo空kōng裡lǐ。他tā就jiù顾gù不bù得de八bā戒jiè、沙shā僧sēng、诸zhū天tiān等děng众zhòng，一yí路lù觔jīn斗dǒu，跳tiào上shàng九jiǔ霄xiāo空kōng里lǐ。

Then, unable to trouble himself about Eight Rules, Sha Monk or the host of devas, he went up in a somersault straight into the ninth heaven.

顧不得 is the potential negative, could not attend to, so the linking de stands between the verb and its negation. 觔斗 is the somersault, its first graph a variant way of writing sinew.

眾zhòng神shén、八bā戒jiè、沙shā僧sēng不bù解jiě其qí意yì，被bèi他tā拋pāo起qǐ去qù，又yòu都dōu裝zhuāng在zài裡lǐ面miàn，只zhǐ是shì行xíng者zhě走zǒu了le。众zhòng神shén、八bā戒jiè、沙shā僧sēng不bù解jiě其qí意yì，被bèi他tā抛pāo起qǐ去qù，又yòu都dōu装zhuāng在zài里lǐ面miàn，只zhǐ是shì行xíng者zhě走zǒu了le。

The gods, Eight Rules and Sha Monk did not take his meaning; the thing was thrown up over them and they were all packed inside again — only Pilgrim got away.

不解其意 — they did not take his meaning — is the entire difference between the ones who are caught and the one who is not. 又 makes it the second time, and this time they had been warned.

總評 Commentary

The same trick works twice, and the second time somebody sees it coming. Pilgrim watches the bag come off the demon's waist, shouts a warning of five graphs, and is in the ninth heaven before the sentence has finished.

不解其意 does the work. They did not take his meaning — not that they were slow or unlucky, but that a shout of 不好了，走啊 was never going to move thirty-odd people who had not seen what he had seen.

And the chapter is careful about what it says of him. 顧不得, he could not attend to them, is the phrase that would excuse him; 只是行者走了, only Pilgrim got away, is the one that does not. Both are in the same passage, forty-two graphs apart.
