累殺你了 You Have Worn Yourself Out
那三藏聞言,一骨魯爬起來,對行者躬身道:「徒弟啊,累殺你了。若信悟能之言,我已絕矣。」那三藏闻言,一骨鲁爬起来,对行者躬身道:「徒弟啊,累杀你了。若信悟能之言,我已绝矣。」

Tripitaka heard this, scrambled up in a rush, and bowed to Wukong: "Disciple, you have worn yourself out for me.
一骨魯 is a noise-and-motion word for getting up all in one movement. 藏 keeps zàng in the master's name.
若信悟能之言,我已絕矣。」
若信悟能之言,我已绝矣。」
Had I believed what Wuneng told me, I should have been finished."
悟能 is Bajie's religious name. Tripitaka uses it rather than the nickname, which makes the reproach formal and therefore worse.
Tripitaka gets up in a single scramble, and the word for it is one of those noise-and-movement compounds this novel uses when a body does something before its owner has decided to. A moment ago he was rolling on the ground; now he is on his feet and bowing. The grief was real and it evaporates instantly.
The bow is the significant gesture. A master does not bow to a disciple, and Tripitaka does it here without being prompted. It is one of a small number of moments in the novel where he treats Wukong as something other than an unruly servant, and it costs him nothing to be generous now that the danger is past.
