逐句解 Line by line
大聖見他那嘴臉，又恨他，又憐他，說道：「怎的好麼？
大圣见他那嘴脸，又恨他，又怜他，说道：「怎的好么？
The Great Sage looked at that face of his, and hated him and pitied him at once, and said: "What is to be done with him?
嘴臉 — the look of a face, and never a compliment.
他也是龍華會上的一個人。
他也是龙华会上的一个人。
He is one of the company for the Dragon Flower assembly after all.
龍華會 is the gathering under the dragon-flower tree where Maitreya, the Buddha to come, will preach. Being one of that company means being among the saved.
但只恨他動不動分行李散火，又要攛掇師父念緊箍咒咒我。
但只恨他动不动分行李散火，又要撺掇师父念紧箍咒咒我。
Only I cannot forgive him for forever splitting up the baggage and breaking the party, and for egging the master on to say the tightening spell at me."
行 keeps xíng in 行李. 攛掇 — to urge someone into doing a thing they might not have thought of.
總評 Commentary
Hated him and pitied him at once is the whole relationship in six characters, and the novel puts the two verbs side by side without ranking them. Wukong is not conflicted in a modern psychological sense; he simply holds both, and acts on whichever is convenient.
The Dragon Flower assembly is the gathering at which Maitreya, the next Buddha, will preach when he comes. To say Bajie belongs there is to say his salvation is already settled, however he behaves in the meantime. Wukong is reminding himself that this irritating creature is a colleague in a cosmic enterprise and cannot simply be left in a pond.
Then the grievances, and they are specific rather than general: splitting the baggage, and pushing the master into using the headband spell. The first happened this chapter. The second is the one thing in the universe that can genuinely hurt Wukong, and Bajie has been known to suggest it for entertainment.
