Down at the foot of the slope Tripitaka saw it, and turned on Wukong again: "Wukong, no wonder Wuneng cursed you for dead. It seems there is no love or kindness between you brothers at all, only envy and spite."
得 takes the light de in 怪不得 — no wonder, a settled phrase. The four 相 characters all read xiāng, marking what passes between two parties.
Tripitaka has watched the rope go slack and drawn the obvious conclusion, and for once he is entirely right. Wukong did throw the line away on purpose. The master's fault here is not misjudging the facts but the speed with which he moves from one accusation to the next: some eight hundred characters back he was bowing to Wukong in gratitude.
The sentence is built on a matched pair. Love and kindness on one side, envy and spite on the other, with the same character opening each of the four terms to mark them as things done between people rather than felt alone. It is the language of a sermon, which is exactly Tripitaka's register when he is disappointed.
No wonder Wuneng cursed you for dead lands hardest. Bajie's behaviour over the luggage was indefensible, and Tripitaka is now offering it as evidence of Wukong's character instead. The master is not good at telling who is at fault, and this chapter keeps demonstrating it.
