還不還原 Beast Resume Your Own Shape
那菩薩才喝了一聲：「孽畜！還不還原，待何時也？」只見那怪打個滾，現了原身，將毛衣抖抖，菩薩騎上。菩薩又望項下一看，不見那三個金鈴。那菩萨才喝了一声：「孽畜！还不还原，待何时也？」只见那怪打个滚，现了原身，将毛衣抖抖，菩萨骑上。菩萨又望项下一看，不见那三个金铃。
逐句解 Line by line
The Bodhisattva shouted a single word: "Cursed beast!
喝 is hè, to shout — the base offers the drinking reading, for which the old dictionary has no entry at all. 一 takes yì before the level tone of 聲.
"Still not resuming your own shape — what are you waiting for?"
The same character twice in four characters, with different readings. The first 還 is hái, still or yet; the second is huán, the verb of going back to a former state, in 還原. It is the tightest such split in the chapter.
The fiend at once rolled over, showed his true body, shook out his coat, and the Bodhisattva mounted.
Four clauses and the transformation is over. 毛衣 is the animal's pelt — literally its fur clothing. 將 is jiāng, the disposal marker.
The Bodhisattva looked once at his neck, and the three golden bells were not there.
項下 is below the neck, where a collar sits — she is checking the tack. 一 takes yí before the falling tone of 看.
One word ends the fight. 孽畜 — cursed beast — is what a master calls an animal, not what a Bodhisattva calls an enemy, and the monster king who beat a vanguard and held a queen for three years rolls over on the ground at it.
還不還原 puts the same character twice in four characters meaning two different things: still, and revert. It is the tightest reading split anywhere in this chapter — closer than the two 降 in the last passage, which were thirty-eight characters apart.
And then she checks his collar. 望項下一看 is a small, entirely domestic gesture — the look you give a horse's tack — and it is how she discovers the theft. The next passage is about a Bodhisattva demanding her property back from a monkey.
