The Bodhisattva flicked a few drops of sweet dew from the willow spray, and in an instant the smoke and fire were gone and the yellow sand had vanished.
跡 is jì, a trace — the third and last time this character appears in the chapter, and all three are about something that cannot be found. 霎時間 is in the blink of an eye.
Pilgrim knocked his head on the ground and said, "I did not know the Great Compassion had come down among us, and failed to withdraw. May I ask where the Bodhisattva is bound?"
大慈, Great Compassion, is one of her titles. 有失迴避 is an official's formula: an inferior who fails to get out of the road when a superior passes apologises in exactly these words. The six characters that close the quotation ride in the same segment.
The Bodhisattva said, "I have come expressly to seek out and take back this fiend."
收 is to gather in, to take back into custody — the word used of a master reclaiming a runaway, not of a hunter killing a beast. It settles the outcome in a single character.
A few drops of dew undo the whole conflagration. The bells produced smoke, fire and sand in three colours across two passages; the willow spray removes all three in eleven characters, and the text spends no more effort on it than that.
有失迴避 is worth a moment because it is pure bureaucracy. When a senior official's procession passed, juniors were required to stand aside; failing to do so was an offence with a name, and apologising for it had a set formula. Wukong, on his knees on a burning hillside, uses the phrase exactly.
Her answer contains the whole rest of the chapter in one character. 收 — to gather in, to take back — is what you do with a possession, not an enemy. The fight is over and the monster is not going to be killed, and nobody has said so yet.
