Eight Rules could not hold it in. He laughed and said, "Lady bodhisattvas — having a bath in here, are we?"

忍不住 — could not bear to hold it. The 不 lifts to bú before the falling tone of 住, which is ordinary sandhi and needs no override.

也yě攜xié帶dài我wǒ和hé尚shàng洗xǐ洗xǐ,何hé如rú?」 也yě携xié带dài我wǒ和hé尚shàng洗xǐ洗xǐ,何hé如rú?」

"Take a monk along with you and let me have a wash too — how about it?"

攜帶 is to take somebody along, the word you use for including a junior on a trip. He is asking to be let into a pool of naked strangers using the vocabulary of asking for a lift.

The monsters saw him and said in a fury, "You monk — this is grossly improper."

了 is the light le. 十分無禮 means completely without manners, and it is the only time the chapter uses the phrase. This household keeps score on etiquette, and it has just been handed a clear case.


總評 Commentary

Eight Rules opens with a joke and follows it with a request to join them. It is the single most graceless moment in the chapter.

The word he uses for joining is the giveaway. It is what you say when you want to be brought along on somebody else's outing — take me with you, let me tag on. He is applying it to a bathing pool containing seven naked women he has come to kill.

Their reply is on etiquette, which is what this household always reaches for. The same phrase was used about the master when he would not eat: grossly improper. These creatures have a very clear sense of correct behaviour and it has nothing to do with what is in their kitchen.
