逐句解 Line by line
The Longevity Star thanked Pilgrim and made to mount the deer and go.
He is leaving. Property recovered, thanks given, and the god of longevity is getting on his animal and going home. The kingdom he has not visited, the children he has not seen and the king he has not spoken to do not enter into it.
Pilgrim caught hold of him and said, "Not so fast, brother. There are two things not finished yet."
一把扯住 — grabbed him by the sleeve. Wukong physically stops a senior god from leaving, and the novel reports it in five characters as though it were the most natural thing in the world.
The Longevity Star said, "What things are still unfinished?"
The question is honest and that is what makes it damning. He genuinely does not know what is left to do, because from where he stands the matter is closed.
This is the hinge of the chapter's moral argument and it is played as comedy. A god tries to leave; a monkey grabs his sleeve; the god asks, with real puzzlement, what is left.
What is left is everything that happened to the people below. Wukong is about to list it, and the list is short and specific: there is still a monster loose, and there is still a king who needs to be shown the truth. Neither is the Longevity Star's property, which is exactly why he had not counted them.
