三藏道：「徒弟呀，我病重了，切莫说这大话。」
Tripitaka said, "Disciple, I am gravely ill. Do not talk so big."
大話 is big talk, boasting. Sixteen characters, and the scene ends on a sick man asking to be spared his disciple's enthusiasm.
One line, and it closes the whole sequence perfectly. Tripitaka does not argue with the theology or the threats. He is tired, he is ill, and he would like the shouting to stop.
There is a real difference of belief underneath. Pilgrim genuinely thinks he can protect his master from death by force. Tripitaka, who is the better Buddhist, knows that this is not how death works — and is too unwell to say so at length.
