話說那孫大聖頭痛難禁，哀告道：「師父莫念，莫念，等我醫罷。」長老問：「怎麼醫？」行者道：「只除過陰司，查勘那個閻王家有他魂靈，請將來救他。」八戒道：「師父莫信他。他原說不用過陰司，陽世間就能醫活，方見手段哩。」那長老信邪風，又念緊箍兒咒。慌得行者滿口招承道：「陽世間醫罷，陽世間醫罷。」八戒道：「莫要住，只管念，只管念。」行者罵道：「你這獃孽畜，攛道師父咒我哩。」八戒笑得打跌道：「哥耶，哥耶，你只曉得捉弄我，不曉得我也捉弄你捉弄。」行者道：「師父莫念，莫念，待老孫陽世間醫罷。」三藏道：「陽世間怎麼醫？」行者道：「我如今一觔斗雲，撞入南天門裡，不進斗牛宮，不入靈霄殿，徑到那三十三天之上，離恨天宮兜率院內，見太上老君，把他九轉還魂丹求得一粒來，管取救活他也。」

Now, the Great Sage Sun could hardly bear the pain in his head. He begged, “Master, stop reciting! Stop! Let me cure him.” The elder asked, “How will you cure him?” Pilgrim said, “The only way is to go to the Underworld, find out which King of the Underworld has his soul, and bring it here to save him.” Bajie said, “Master, do not believe him. He said himself that he need not visit the Underworld: he could revive him right here in the world of the living. That would show real skill.” The elder listened to this wicked prompting and recited the Band-Tightening Spell again. In a panic, Pilgrim agreed with every breath. “In the world of the living, then! In the world of the living!” Bajie said, “Do not stop. Keep reciting, keep reciting!” Pilgrim cursed him. “You stupid beast! You are putting Master up to cursing me!” Bajie laughed till he fell over. “Brother, brother! You know how to play tricks on me, but you never knew I could play a trick on you!” Pilgrim said, “Master, stop reciting, stop! Let Old Sun cure him in the world of the living.” Sanzang asked, “How will you do that?” Pilgrim said, “I shall take one somersault cloud now and charge through the Southern Gate of Heaven. I shall not enter the Palace of the Dipper and the Ox or the Hall of Divine Mists, but go straight above the Thirty-three Heavens, to the Tushita Court in the Heaven of Parting Sorrow. There I shall see Lord Lao the Most High and beg one of his Nine-Turn Soul-Restoring Pills. I guarantee it will bring the man back to life.”
三藏聞言，大喜道：「就去，快來。」行者道：「如今有三更時候罷了，投到回來，好天明了。只是這個人睡在這裡，冷淡冷淡，不像個模樣。須得舉哀人看著他哭，便才好哩。」八戒道：「不消講，這猴子一定是要我哭哩。」行者道：「怕你不哭？你若不哭，我也醫不成。」八戒道：「哥哥，你自去，我自哭罷了。」行者道：「哭有幾樣：若乾著口喊，謂之嚎；扭搜出些眼淚兒來，謂之啕；又要哭得有眼淚，又要哭得有心腸，才算著嚎啕痛哭哩。」八戒道：「我且哭個樣子你看看。」他不知那裡扯個紙條，撚作一個紙撚兒，往鼻孔裡通了兩通，打了幾個涕噴，你看他眼淚汪汪，黏涎答答的，哭將起來。口裡不住的絮絮叨叨，數黃道黑，真個像死了人的一般。哭到那傷情之處，唐長老也淚滴心酸。行者笑道：「正是那樣哀痛，再不許住聲。你這獃子哄得我去了，你就不哭。我還聽哩，若是這等哭便罷，若略住住聲兒，定打二十個孤拐。」八戒笑道：「你去，你去。我這一哭動頭，有兩日哭哩。」沙僧見他數落，便去尋幾枝香來燒獻。行者笑道：「好好好，一家兒都有些敬意，老孫才好用功。」
三藏闻言，大喜道：「就去，快来。」行者道：「如今有三更时候罢了，投到回来，好天明了。只是这个人睡在这里，冷淡冷淡，不像个模样。须得举哀人看着他哭，便才好哩。」八戒道：「不消讲，这猴子一定是要我哭哩。」行者道：「怕你不哭？你若不哭，我也医不成。」八戒道：「哥哥，你自去，我自哭罢了。」行者道：「哭有几样：若干着口喊，谓之嚎；扭搜出些眼泪儿来，谓之啕；又要哭得有眼泪，又要哭得有心肠，才算着嚎啕痛哭哩。」八戒道：「我且哭个样子你看看。」他不知那里扯个纸条，撚作一个纸撚儿，往鼻孔里通了两通，打了几个涕喷，你看他眼泪汪汪，黏涎答答的，哭将起来。口里不住的絮絮叨叨，数黄道黑，真个像死了人的一般。哭到那伤情之处，唐长老也泪滴心酸。行者笑道：「正是那样哀痛，再不许住声。你这呆子哄得我去了，你就不哭。我还听哩，若是这等哭便罢，若略住住声儿，定打二十个孤拐。」八戒笑道：「你去，你去。我这一哭动头，有两日哭哩。」沙僧见他数落，便去寻几枝香来烧献。行者笑道：「好好好，一家儿都有些敬意，老孙才好用功。」
At this Sanzang was delighted. “Go at once, and hurry back.” Pilgrim said, “It is only the third watch now. By the time I return, it will be daylight. But this man lying here looks so cold and forlorn; it is not a proper sight. Someone ought to stand over him and mourn. That would be better.” Bajie said, “No need to explain. This monkey means to make me cry.” Pilgrim said, “Think you can get out of crying? If you do not cry, I cannot cure him.” Bajie said, “Brother, go on your way, and I shall cry.” Pilgrim said, “There are several kinds of crying. Shouting with a dry mouth is hao; squeezing out a few tears is tao. Only when you cry with tears and cry with feeling does it count as haotao, a proper bout of bitter weeping.” Bajie said, “Let me give you a sample.” From somewhere he pulled a strip of paper, twisted it into a spill and poked it up his nostril twice. He sneezed several times, and look at him now: eyes brimming with tears, slobber dripping, he began to weep. His mouth never stopped, babbling on and on, recounting this and lamenting that, just as though someone really had died. When his lament grew moving, even Elder Tang shed tears and felt his heart ache. Pilgrim laughed. “That is just the grief we want. Now you must not stop. You Idiot, you will coax me into leaving and then stop crying. I shall still be listening. Keep crying like that and all is well; let your voice falter for a moment, and you will get twenty blows on the shanks.” Bajie laughed. “Go on, go on. Once I get started, I can cry for two days.” Seeing him pour out his lament, Sha Monk went to find a few sticks of incense to burn as an offering. Pilgrim laughed. “Good, good, good! With a little respect from the whole family, Old Sun can get to work.”
好大聖，此時有半夜時分，別了他師徒三眾，縱觔斗雲，只入南天門裡。果然也不謁靈霄寶殿，不上那斗牛天宮，一路雲光，徑來到三十三天離恨天兜率宮中。才入門，只見那太上老君正坐在那丹房中，與眾仙童執芭蕉扇，搧火煉丹哩。他見行者來時，即吩咐看丹的童兒：「各要仔細，偷丹的賊又來也。」行者作禮笑道：「老官兒，這等沒搭撒，防備我怎的？我如今不幹那樣事了。」老君道：「你那猴子，五百年前大鬧天宮，把我靈丹偷吃無數，著小聖二郎捉拿上界，送在我丹爐煉了四十九日，炭也不知費了多少。你如今幸得脫身，皈依佛果，保唐僧往西天取經。前者在平頂山上降魔，弄刁難，不與我寶貝，今日又來做甚？」行者道：「前日事，老孫更沒稽遲，將你那五件寶貝當時交還，你反疑心怪我？」

Splendid Great Sage! It was midnight when he took leave of his Master and the other two disciples, mounted his somersault cloud and went straight through the Southern Gate of Heaven. True to his word, he neither paid his respects at the Hall of Divine Mists nor went up to the Palace of the Dipper and the Ox. In a streak of cloud-light he came straight to the Tushita Palace in the Heaven of Parting Sorrow among the Thirty-three Heavens. As he entered, he saw Lord Lao the Most High sitting in the elixir chamber, where he and the immortal boys held plantain-leaf fans and fanned the fire to refine the elixir. Seeing Pilgrim come, he immediately told the boys tending the furnace, “All of you, take care! The elixir thief is here again.” Pilgrim bowed and laughed. “Old fellow, what nonsense! Why guard against me? I do not do that sort of thing any more.” Lord Lao said, “You monkey! Five hundred years ago you made havoc in the Heavenly Palace and stole and swallowed countless pills of my divine elixir. The Lesser Sage Erlang captured you and brought you up here, and you were sent into my elixir furnace to be refined for forty-nine days. Who knows how much charcoal that wasted? Now you have fortunately won your freedom, taken refuge in the Buddha’s path and begun protecting the Tang Monk on his journey to the Western Heaven for scriptures. The other day, subduing demons on Flat-Top Mountain, you played your tricks and made difficulties over returning my treasures. What have you come for today?” Pilgrim said, “Old Sun did not delay a moment the other day. I handed back all five of your treasures on the spot, and you still suspect me and find fault?”
