他tā跑pǎo將jiāng來lái,對duì行xíng者zhě說shuō:「哥gē啊a,且qiě莫mò去qù醫yī皇huáng帝dì,且qiě快kuài去qù醫yī醫yī馬mǎ來lái。那nà亡wáng人rén乾gān結jié了le,莫mò想xiǎng尿niào得de出chū一yì點diǎn兒er。」行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào:「我wǒ和hé你nǐ去qù。」沙shā僧sēng道dào:「我wǒ也yě去qù看kàn看kàn。」他tā跑pǎo将jiāng来lái,对duì行xíng者zhě说shuō:「哥gē啊a,且qiě莫mò去qù医yī皇huáng帝dì,且qiě快kuài去qù医yī医yī马mǎ来lái。那nà亡wáng人rén干gān结jié了le,莫mò想xiǎng尿niào得de出chū一yì点diǎn儿er。」行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào:「我wǒ和hé你nǐ去qù。」沙shā僧sēng道dào:「我wǒ也yě去qù看kàn看kàn。」

He came running back and said to Pilgrim, "Brother! Never mind doctoring the emperor — go and doctor the horse first.

醫醫馬 — go and doctor the horse — reverses the entire errand in three characters, and Eight Rules does not appear to notice he has said anything funny. 將 in 跑將來 is jiāng, the everyday word that pushes a verb along — "came running back".

那nà亡wáng人rén乾gān結jié了le,莫mò想xiǎng尿niào得de出chū一yì點diǎn兒er。」 那nà亡wáng人rén干gān结jié了le,莫mò想xiǎng尿niào得de出chū一yì点diǎn儿er。」

"The wretched creature is all dried up. There is no hope of getting a single drop out of him."

亡人 is abuse, roughly "you dead thing", and he is using it of a dragon. 乾 is gān, dried out, not the qián of 乾坤, heaven and earth. 尿得出 takes the light de of possibility, and 兒 the light suffix.

行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào:「我wǒ和hé你nǐ去qù。」 行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào:「我wǒ和hé你nǐ去qù。」

Pilgrim laughed and said, "I will go with you."

和 is hé here, simply "with" — the same character will shortly mean stirring things together, and take a different reading for it.

沙shā僧sēng道dào:「我wǒ也yě去qù看kàn看kàn。」 沙shā僧sēng道dào:「我wǒ也yě去qù看kàn看kàn。」

Sha the monk said, "I shall come and have a look too."

And with that the entire party goes outside to watch a horse urinate.


總評 Commentary

The report back is the best line in the chapter. Never mind doctoring the emperor — go and doctor the horse. It reverses the entire errand in three characters, and Eight Rules gives no sign of noticing that he has said anything funny.

What follows is the whole party walking outside to watch a horse urinate. The chapter has been steering towards this since the golden threads, and it arrives with no change of tone whatever: Pilgrim laughs, Sha the monk says he will come and look, and the scene simply moves outdoors.
