毕竟不知寻出那个取经人来，且听下回分解。
In the end, who knows what scripture-pilgrim shall be found? Listen to the next chapter for the telling.
不知 — 不 takes bù before first-tone 知; 那個 is interrogative (“what, which”), 那 read nǎ. 且聽下回分解 is the storyteller's standard chapter-closing formula.
The chapter ends on the storyteller's invariable formula, 且聽下回分解 — “listen to the next chapter for the telling” — with the teasing question of which pilgrim will be found. The device, a vestige of the oral huaben tradition, frames the written novel as a performance still in progress and propels the reader onward to the founding of the quest in the chapters to come.
