不必違拗 Sha Monk Ends The Argument
沙僧在傍笑道：「師兄，不必多講，師父的心性如此，不必違拗。若惱了他，就化將齋來，他也不吃。」沙僧在傍笑道：「师兄，不必多讲，师父的心性如此，不必违拗。若恼了他，就化将斋来，他也不吃。」

Sha Monk, standing by, laughed and said, "Elder brother, no need for more talk. The master's temper is set this way; there is nothing to gain by crossing him."
違拗 is wéi ào, to go against somebody, and the reading is worth pausing on because the character 拗 more usually says ǎo, to bend or snap. 康熙 手部五畫 gives a separate departing-tone band at 於教切, glossed 拗戾，固相違也 — stubbornly contrary — and that gloss contains the very 違 standing in front of it here. 洪武正韻 files the character at 於巧切 and points onward to the 效 and 屋 rimes, so the Ming standard carried the same three readings. 傍 is páng, the side, not bàng.
"Vex him, and even if you do beg the food and fetch it back, he will not eat it."
將 is jiāng here, the small word that carries a verb toward its destination — beg the food and bring it along. 若惱了他 is the reading of a man who has watched this happen before.
Sha Monk gets one speech in this whole opening debate and settles it. He does it by declining to argue about who ought to beg, and pointing out instead that the master will sulk. Nobody can answer that, because it is true.
It is worth noticing what he does not say. Pilgrim was right, Eight Rules was self-serving, and Sha Monk backs neither. He simply reports the fact that Tripitaka has made up his mind, and treats the rest as wasted breath. The most junior of the three disciples ends the discussion because he is the only one not trying to win it.
