The elder took his leave of the king of the Dharma-Revering Kingdom and said cheerfully from the saddle, "Wukong, that was a very good method, and much merit has come of it."

卻說 is the storyteller picking a thread back up, the companion of the 不題 that dropped the last one. Tripitaka is cheerful, which is rare enough in this chapter to be worth marking — in about four hundred characters he will be terrified again and stay that way.

沙shā僧sēng道dào:「哥gē啊a,是shì那nǎ裡lǐ尋xún這zhè許xǔ多duō整zhěng容róng匠jiàng,連lián夜yè剃tì這zhè許xǔ多duō頭tóu?」 沙shā僧sēng道dào:「哥gē啊a,是shì那nǎ里lǐ寻xún这zhè许xǔ多duō整zhěng容róng匠jiàng,连lián夜yè剃tì这zhè许xǔ多duō头tóu?」

Sha Monk said, "Brother, where did you find so many barbers, to shave so many heads in one night?"

Sha Monk asks the practical question nobody else thought of, which is his usual function. 那 is nǎ here, the interrogative where, not the nà that points at something. 整容匠 — a craftsman who puts a face in order — is the Ming word for a barber.


總評 Commentary

Tripitaka calls it a method and credits it with merit, and both words are chosen. He has spent the journey worrying that his disciples solve problems by violence; this time nobody died and a kingdom converted, so the ledger is clean.

Sha Monk speaks about once a chapter and it is usually to ask how something actually worked. Here he is doing the reader's job — the logistics of shaving an entire capital overnight really do want explaining.
