孫sūn行xíng者zhě見jiàn八bā戒jiè變biàn得dé如rú此cǐ，即jí命mìng那nà些xiē相xiāng送sòng人rén等děng快kuài將jiāng乾gān糧liáng等děng物wù推tuī攢cuán一yí處chù，叫jiào八bā戒jiè受shòu用yòng。孙sūn行xíng者zhě见jiàn八bā戒jiè变biàn得dé如rú此cǐ，即jí命mìng那nà些xiē相xiāng送sòng人rén等děng快kuài将jiāng干gān粮liáng等děng物wù推tuī攒cuán一yí处chù，叫jiào八bā戒jiè受shòu用yòng。

Seeing Eight Rules changed like this, Sun Pilgrim at once ordered the escort to push the dry provisions and the rest quickly into one heap, and told him to fall to.

攢 is cuán, to gather into a mass — pinned corpus-wide, because automatic transcription supplies an unrelated reading every time. 將 is the object-hauling jiāng.

那nà獃dāi子zi不bù分fēn生shēng熟shú，一yí澇lào食shí之zhī，卻què上shàng前qián拱gǒng路lù。那nà呆dāi子zi不bù分fēn生shēng熟shú，一yí涝lào食shí之zhī，却què上shàng前qián拱gǒng路lù。

The idiot made no distinction between raw and cooked but swallowed the lot at a sweep, and then went forward to root the road.

一澇 is to take the lot at one scoop. 分 is fēn, to tell apart.

行xíng者zhě叫jiào沙shā僧sēng脫tuō了le腳jiǎo，好hǎo生shēng挑tiāo擔dàn；請qǐng師shī父fù穩wěn坐zuò雕diāo鞍ān。行xíng者zhě叫jiào沙shā僧sēng脱tuō了le脚jiǎo，好hǎo生shēng挑tiāo担dàn；请qǐng师shī父fù稳wěn坐zuò雕diāo鞍ān。

Pilgrim told Sha Monk to bare his feet and mind the luggage carefully, and asked the master to sit firm in his carved saddle.

Two dispositions in one sentence, cut by a semicolon and rejoined: a verb of directing, a person and an instruction on each side. 擔 is dàn, the noun — a load on a carrying pole.

他tā也yě脫tuō了le䩺wēng鞋xié，吩fēn咐fù眾zhòng人rén回huí去qù：「若ruò有yǒu情qíng，快kuài早zǎo送sòng些xiē飯fàn來lái與yǔ我wǒ師shī弟dì接jiē力lì。」他tā也yě脱tuō了le䩺wēng鞋xié，吩fēn咐fù众zhòng人rén回huí去qù：「若ruò有yǒu情qíng，快kuài早zǎo送sòng些xiē饭fàn来lái与yǔ我wǒ师shī弟dì接jiē力lì。」

He too pulled off his boots, and instructed the crowd as they went back, "If you have any feeling for us, send some food out quickly to keep my brother's strength up."

The boots are named with a rare character that many fonts will not render. It reads wēng, and the 1716 dictionary glosses it under the leather radical as the shaft of a boot, in the usage of the Wu region — southern dialect, recorded and preserved.

總評 Commentary

Pilgrim's first act after the transformation is catering and his second is logistics. The provisions go into one heap, Sha Monk takes the luggage, Tripitaka is put in the saddle, and the marching order is set in two sentences.

The eating gets four characters and no ceremony. Raw and cooked together, taken at one sweep, and then straight to work. The appetite that was a problem all through the chapter is now the engine driving it.

That Pilgrim and Sha Monk both take their shoes off is the detail that fixes the scene. They are about to walk a road made of three years of rotted fruit, and the only one of the four who will be above it is the man who was weeping an hour ago.
