The demon king called in his troops and went back to the monastery, had the ropes fetched out again, and had them bound as before.

照舊 — as before — is the key word of the passage. Everything in it has happened once already, and the text simply says so rather than describing it a second time.

將jiāng唐táng僧sēng、八bā戒jiè、沙shā僧sēng懸xuán梁liáng高gāo吊diào，白bái馬mǎ拴shuān在zài後hòu邊biān，諸zhū神shén亦yì俱jù綁bǎng縛fù，擡tái在zài地dì窖jiào子zi內nèi，封fēng鎖suǒ了le蓋gài。将jiāng唐táng僧sēng、八bā戒jiè、沙shā僧sēng悬xuán梁liáng高gāo吊diào，白bái马mǎ拴shuān在zài后hòu边biān，诸zhū神shén亦yì俱jù绑bǎng缚fù，擡tái在zài地dì窖jiào子zi内nèi，封fēng锁suǒ了le盖gài。

The Tang Monk, Eight Rules and Sha Monk were strung up high from the beams, the white horse was tethered behind, and the gods were all bound and carried into a cellar, and the lid locked down over them.

The pilgrims get the beams and the celestial establishment gets a hole in the ground with a lid on it. The horse is tied up behind for the second time, in almost the same words — 把馬拴在後邊 then, 白馬拴在後邊 now.

那nà眾zhòng妖yāo遵zūn依yī，一yī一yī收shōu了le不bù題tí。那nà众zhòng妖yāo遵zūn依yī，一yī一yī收shōu了le不bù题tí。

The demons did as they were told, stowed them one by one, and no more of that.

一一 is the distributive, one by one, and both graphs keep yī — a fixed reading that the ordinary tone-shifting would spoil. 不題 closes the demons' thread for the third time in the chapter.

總評 Commentary

The chapter has now performed this sequence three times: taken, bound, stowed at the back, and 不題. The third time it takes sixty-one graphs and half of those are the disposal.

The arrangements have grown more elaborate, though. The first time they were simply thrown down anyhow; now the pilgrims hang from the beams and the gods are sealed in a cellar under a locked lid. The demon has learned something from being robbed twice in one night.
