那nà國guó王wáng妃fēi后hòu與yǔ一yí應yìng臣chén民mín,又yòu俱jù下xià拜bài。 那nà国guó王wáng妃fēi后hòu与yǔ一yí应yìng臣chén民mín,又yòu俱jù下xià拜bài。

The king, the queens and consorts and every subject of the realm bowed down again.

一應臣民 is yī yìng, meaning the entire body of them — and the reading runs backwards: fixing 應 up to yìng pulls 一 down to yí. No table can see that happen; only the sandhi check does.

行xíng者zhě望wàng空kōng道dào:「有yǒu勞láo列liè位wèi,請qǐng各gè歸guī祠cí,我wǒ著zhuó民mín間jiān祭jì祀sì謝xiè你nǐ。」 行xíng者zhě望wàng空kōng道dào:「有yǒu劳láo列liè位wèi,请qǐng各gè归guī祠cí,我wǒ着zhuó民mín间jiān祭jì祀sì谢xiè你nǐ。」

Pilgrim called up into the air, "I am obliged to you, gentlemen. Please go back to your shrines, and I will have the people sacrifice and give you thanks."

著 is zhuó, the dispatching sense: he will set the people to it. 有勞列位 is ordinary courtesy between colleagues, and that is how Wukong speaks to the assembled spirit bureaucracy — as one official thanking a working party.

呼hū呼hū淅xī淅xī,陰yīn風fēng又yòu起qǐ而ér退tuì。 呼hū呼hū淅xī淅xī,阴yīn风fēng又yòu起qǐ而ér退tuì。

With a rushing and a whistling the shadowy wind rose again and withdrew.

呼呼淅淅 pairs two sound words, one heavy and one thin, for wind going away. The gods leave the way they came, and the chapter has one thing left to do.


總評 Commentary

Wukong's manners with the spirit world are consistent to the end. He summoned them, he thanks them by rank, and he promises them offerings from the people rather than from himself.

The promise is the point. These are gods who live on sacrifice, and what he gives them is a congregation. A kingdom that spent three years being frightened of its own Royal Father-in-Law now has a reason to burn incense to the officials who were too frightened to speak.
