逐句解 Line by line
"It turns out he saw there was a proclamation, raised a whirlwind and took it, stowed it secretly in my breast, and went on ahead."
Five verbs in one clause and every one of them true. 原來 — so that was it — marks the whole thing as something he has only now pieced together for himself.
One of the eunuchs said, "A while back I saw a plump, pale-faced monk making straight for the court gate. I suppose that would be your master?"
奔 is bèn, to head for a place, rather than bēn, to run. The sealed chapters keep the two apart in just this way, and it is the running sense that the machine offers.
Eight Rules said, "Just so, just so."
Four characters, doubled — the readiest agreement he has given anybody in the chapter, and it is to the first question that has gone his way.
Eight Rules gives the true account and it is exactly as improbable as it sounds. A whirlwind, a theft, a planting, an abandonment — five things, every one of which happened.
The eunuch does not respond to any of it. He picks out the single checkable detail, the master gone to court, and confirms it from his own morning. That is what turns the conversation: not the truth of the story, but a fat white monk seen going the right way at the right time.
