Pilgrim was pleased. He got the horse ready at once and asked the master to mount, Sha Monk shouldered the baggage, and following behind Bajie they went on up into the mountain, and of them we say no more.
著 is zhe, shouldering and keeping it shouldered. The party re-forms in its fixed order — horse, master, luggage — with one change: Bajie is in front. 不題 drops the thread, and the story goes to the cave.
Pilgrim is pleased, and what pleases him is that his brother took the post. The arrangement he made on the crag is now standing policy, with a title attached and everyone agreed.
The last four characters send the reader somewhere else. When the story comes back to this road, the master will be lifted off the horse by a hand out of the sky.
