一念才生動百魔，修持最苦奈他何。但憑洗滌無塵垢，也用收拴有琢磨。掃退萬緣歸寂滅，蕩除千怪莫蹉跎。管教跳出樊籠套，行滿飛昇上大羅。

One thought arises, stirring a hundred demons;cultivation is bitter work—what can be done with them?Wash yourself clean of dust and grime,but rein yourself in as well, and polish what is rough.Sweep away all entanglements and return to still extinction;clear out a thousand monsters without delay.Then you shall leap free of the cage and its snares;your practice fulfilled, ascend to the Great Luo Heaven.
話說孫大聖用盡心機，請如來收了眾怪，解脫三藏師徒之難，離獅駝城西行。又經數月，早值冬天。但見那：
嶺梅將破玉，池水漸成冰。紅葉俱飄落，青松色更新。淡雲飛欲雪，枯草伏山平。滿目寒光迥，陰陰透骨冷。
師徒們沖寒冒冷，宿雨餐風。正行間，又見一座城池。三藏問道：「悟空，那廂又是甚麼所在？」行者道：「到跟前自知。若是西邸王位，須要倒換關文；若是府州縣，徑過。」

岭梅将破玉，池水渐成冰。红叶俱飘落，青松色更新。淡云飞欲雪，枯草伏山平。满目寒光迥，阴阴透骨冷。
师徒们冲寒冒冷，宿雨餐风。正行间，又见一座城池。三藏问道：「悟空，那厢又是甚么所在？」行者道：「到跟前自知。若是西邸王位，须要倒换关文；若是府州县，径过。」
Now, the Great Sage Sun had used every resource of his wit to invite the Buddha to subdue the monsters and free Sanzang and his disciples from their ordeal. They left Lion-Camel City and travelled west. Several more months passed, and winter was already upon them. This is what they saw:
On the ridge, jade-white plum buds are about to open;the water in the pools is slowly turning to ice.The red leaves have all drifted down;the green pines wear a fresher colour.Pale clouds fly, promising snow;withered grasses lie flat upon the hills.Cold light stretches far as the eye can see;a gloomy chill goes through the bones.
Master and disciples braved the cold, lodging in rain and dining on wind. As they went along, they saw another walled city. Sanzang asked, “Wukong, what place is that over there?” Pilgrim said, “We’ll know when we get closer. If it’s the seat of a king in the Western Regions, we must have our travel pass endorsed. If it’s a prefecture, district or county, we can go straight through.”
師徒言語未畢，早至城門之外。三藏下馬，一行四眾，進了月城。見一個老軍在向陽牆下，偎風而睡。行者近前，搖他一下，叫聲：「長官。」那老軍猛然驚覺，麻麻糊糊的睜開眼，看見行者，連忙跪下磕頭，叫：「爺爺。」行者道：「你休胡驚作怪。我又不是甚麼惡神，你叫爺爺怎的？」老軍磕頭道：「你是雷公爺爺。」行者道：「胡說。吾乃東土去西天取經的僧人。適才到此，不知地名，問你一聲的。」那老軍聞言，卻才正了心，打個呵欠，爬起來，伸伸腰道：「長老，長老，恕小人之罪。此處地方，原喚比丘國，今改作小子城。」行者道：「國中有帝王否？」老軍道：「有有有。」行者卻轉身對唐僧道：「師父，此處原是比丘國，今改小子城，但不知改名之意何故也。」唐僧疑惑道：「既云比丘，又何云小子？」八戒道：「想是比丘王崩了，新立王位的是個小子，故名小子城。」唐僧道：「無此理，無此理。我們且進去，到街坊上再問。」沙僧道：「正是。那老軍一則不知，二則被大哥諕得胡說。且入城去詢問。」
师徒言语未毕，早至城门之外。三藏下马，一行四众，进了月城。见一个老军在向阳墙下，偎风而睡。行者近前，摇他一下，叫声：「长官。」那老军猛然惊觉，麻麻糊糊的睁开眼，看见行者，连忙跪下磕头，叫：「爷爷。」行者道：「你休胡惊作怪。我又不是甚么恶神，你叫爷爷怎的？」老军磕头道：「你是雷公爷爷。」行者道：「胡说。吾乃东土去西天取经的僧人。适才到此，不知地名，问你一声的。」那老军闻言，却才正了心，打个呵欠，爬起来，伸伸腰道：「长老，长老，恕小人之罪。此处地方，原唤比丘国，今改作小子城。」行者道：「国中有帝王否？」老军道：「有有有。」行者却转身对唐僧道：「师父，此处原是比丘国，今改小子城，但不知改名之意何故也。」唐僧疑惑道：「既云比丘，又何云小子？」八戒道：「想是比丘王崩了，新立王位的是个小子，故名小子城。」唐僧道：「无此理，无此理。我们且进去，到街坊上再问。」沙僧道：「正是。那老军一则不知，二则被大哥諕得胡说。且入城去询问。」
Before master and disciples had finished speaking, they reached the city gate. Sanzang dismounted, and all four went into the outer gate enclosure. They saw an old soldier asleep against a sunny wall, sheltered from the wind. Pilgrim went up, gave him a shake and called, “Officer!” The old soldier woke with a start and opened his eyes blearily. At the sight of Pilgrim he hurriedly knelt and knocked his head on the ground, crying, “Grandfather!” Pilgrim said, “Stop making such a fuss. I’m no terrible god. What are you calling me Grandfather for?” Still knocking his head, the old soldier said, “You’re Grandfather Thunder God!” Pilgrim said, “Nonsense! I’m a monk going from the Eastern Land to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures. We’ve just arrived, and I don’t know the name of the place. That’s all I’m asking you.” Hearing this, the old soldier recovered his wits. He yawned, scrambled up and stretched. “Elder, Elder, forgive your humble servant. This place was originally called the kingdom of Bhikshu. Now it’s been renamed the City of Little Boys.” Pilgrim said, “Is there a king here?” The old soldier said, “Yes, yes, yes.” Pilgrim turned to the Tang Monk. “Master, this was originally the kingdom of Bhikshu. Now they call it the City of Little Boys, but I don’t know why they changed the name.” Puzzled, the Tang Monk said, “If it’s called Bhikshu, why call it Little Boys?” Bajie said, “Perhaps the King of Bhikshu died, and the new king is a little boy. That’s why they call it the City of Little Boys.” The Tang Monk said, “That makes no sense, no sense at all. Let’s go in and ask again in the streets.” Sha Monk said, “Quite right. For one thing, that old soldier may not know; for another, Elder Brother frightened him into talking nonsense. Let’s go into the city and ask.”
