卻說三藏著妖精送出洞外，沙和尚近前問曰：「師父出來，師兄何在？」八戒道：「他有算計，必定貼換師父出來也。」三藏用手指著妖精道：「你師兄在他肚裡哩。」八戒笑道：「腌臢殺人。在肚裡做甚？出來罷。」行者在裡邊叫道：「張開口，等我出來。」那怪真個把口張開。行者變得小小的，𧿼在咽喉之內，正欲出來，又恐他無理來咬，即將鐵棒取出，吹口仙氣，叫：「變！」變作個棗核釘兒，撐住他的上腭子，把身一縱，跳出口外，就把鐵棒順手帶出，把腰一躬，還是原身法像，舉起棒來就打；那妖精也隨手取出兩口寶劍，叮噹架住。兩個在山頭上這場好殺：
雙舞劍飛當面架，金箍棒起照頭來。一個是天生猴屬心猿體，一個是地產精靈姹女骸。他兩個，恨沖懷，喜處生仇大會垓。那個要取元陽成配偶，這個要戰純陰結聖胎。棒舉一天寒霧漫，劍迎滿地黑塵篩。因長老，拜如來，恨苦相爭顯大才。水火不投母道損，陰陽難合各分開。兩家鬥罷多時節，地動山搖樹木摧。
八戒見他們賭鬥，口裡絮絮叨叨，返恨行者，轉身對沙僧道：「兄弟，師兄胡纏。才子在他肚裡，掄起拳來，送他一個滿肚紅，巴開肚皮鑽出來，卻不了帳？怎麼又從他口裡出來，卻與他爭戰，讓他這等猖狂？」沙僧道：「正是。卻也虧了師兄深洞中救出師父，返又與妖精廝戰。且請師父自家坐著，我和你各持兵器，助助大哥，打倒妖精去來。」八戒擺手道：「不不不，他有神通，我們不濟。」沙僧道：「說那裡話，都是大家有益之事，雖說不濟，卻也放屁添風。」
却说三藏着妖精送出洞外，沙和尚近前问曰：「师父出来，师兄何在？」八戒道：「他有算计，必定贴换师父出来也。」三藏用手指着妖精道：「你师兄在他肚里哩。」八戒笑道：「腌臜杀人。在肚里做甚？出来罢。」行者在里边叫道：「张开口，等我出来。」那怪真个把口张开。行者变得小小的，𧿼在咽喉之内，正欲出来，又恐他无理来咬，即将铁棒取出，吹口仙气，叫：「变！」变作个枣核钉儿，撑住他的上腭子，把身一纵，跳出口外，就把铁棒顺手带出，把腰一躬，还是原身法像，举起棒来就打；那妖精也随手取出两口宝剑，叮当架住。两个在山头上这场好杀：
双舞剑飞当面架，金箍棒起照头来。一个是天生猴属心猿体，一个是地产精灵姹女骸。他两个，恨冲怀，喜处生仇大会垓。那个要取元阳成配偶，这个要战纯阴结圣胎。棒举一天寒雾漫，剑迎满地黑尘筛。因长老，拜如来，恨苦相争显大才。水火不投母道损，阴阳难合各分开。两家斗罢多时节，地动山摇树木摧。
八戒见他们赌斗，口里絮絮叨叨，返恨行者，转身对沙僧道：「兄弟，师兄胡缠。才子在他肚里，抡起拳来，送他一个满肚红，巴开肚皮钻出来，却不了帐？怎么又从他口里出来，却与他争战，让他这等猖狂？」沙僧道：「正是。却也亏了师兄深洞中救出师父，返又与妖精厮战。且请师父自家坐着，我和你各持兵器，助助大哥，打倒妖精去来。」八戒摆手道：「不不不，他有神通，我们不济。」沙僧道：「说那里话，都是大家有益之事，虽说不济，却也放屁添风。」
Now, the demon had brought Sanzang out of the cave. Sha Monk came forward and asked, “Master, you’re out, but where is Elder Brother?” Bajie said, “He has his schemes. He must have traded places with Master to get him out.” Sanzang pointed at the demon. “Your elder brother is in her belly.” Bajie laughed. “Filthy enough to kill a man! What are you doing in her belly? Come out!” Pilgrim called from inside, “Open your mouth and let me out.” The demon did open her mouth. Pilgrim shrank to a tiny size and crouched inside her throat. Just as he was about to emerge, he feared she might take it into her head to bite him. He drew out his iron cudgel, blew a breath of immortal air over it and cried, “Change!” It became a spike shaped like a jujube stone, which he propped against the roof of her mouth. He sprang out through her lips, taking the cudgel with him, bent at the waist and resumed his true form. He raised his cudgel to strike; the demon drew her two precious swords and parried with a clang. What a fine battle the two fought on the mountaintop:
Twin swords fly in a dancing parry;the gold-banded cudgel rises to strike her head.One is a heaven-born monkey, the Mind-Ape in the flesh;one an earth-born spirit, the Maiden in bodily form.Hatred fills their breasts; pleasure breeds enmity, and they clash in mighty battle.She would take primal yang and win a mate;he would battle pure yin and form the sacred embryo.The raised cudgel fills the sky with chilly mist;the meeting swords sift black dust over all the ground.For the elder’s journey to worship the Buddha, they contend in bitter hatred and display their mighty gifts.Water and fire will not accord, and the Mother’s Way is harmed;yin and yang cannot unite, and each goes a separate way.Long have the two fought;the earth moves, the mountain shakes, and trees are shattered.
Watching them fight, Bajie muttered and grumbled, blaming Pilgrim instead. He turned to Sha Monk. “Brother, Elder Brother’s making a mess of this. Just now he was in her belly. Why didn’t he swing his fists, turn her insides blood-red, tear her belly open and crawl out? That would have settled it! Why come out through her mouth and fight her, letting her carry on like this?” Sha Monk said, “That’s true. Still, it was thanks to Elder Brother that Master was rescued from deep inside the cave, and now he’s fighting the demon again. Let’s ask Master to sit here by himself. You and I can take our weapons, help Elder Brother and knock the demon down.” Bajie waved his hands. “No, no, no! He has magic powers. We’re no use.” Sha Monk said, “What are you talking about? It’s something that benefits us all. Even if we’re no use, even a fart adds to the wind.”
那獃子一時興發，掣了釘鈀，叫聲：「去來。」他兩個不顧師父，一齊駕風趕上，舉釘鈀，使寶杖，望妖精亂打。那妖精戰行者一個已是不能，又見他二人，怎生抵敵，急回頭，抽身就走。行者喝道：「兄弟們趕上。」那妖精見他們趕得緊，即將右腳上花鞋脫下來，吹口仙氣，念個咒語，叫：「變！」即變作本身模樣，使兩口劍舞將來；將身一幌，化一陣清風，徑直回去。這番也只說戰他們不過，顧命而回，豈知又有這般樣事！也是三藏災星未退，他到洞門前牌樓下，卻見唐僧在那裡獨坐，他就近前一把抱住，搶了行李，咬斷韁繩，連人和馬，復又攝將進去不題。
那呆子一时兴发，掣了钉钯，叫声：「去来。」他两个不顾师父，一齐驾风赶上，举钉钯，使宝杖，望妖精乱打。那妖精战行者一个已是不能，又见他二人，怎生抵敌，急回头，抽身就走。行者喝道：「兄弟们赶上。」那妖精见他们赶得紧，即将右脚上花鞋脱下来，吹口仙气，念个咒语，叫：「变！」即变作本身模样，使两口剑舞将来；将身一幌，化一阵清风，径直回去。这番也只说战他们不过，顾命而回，岂知又有这般样事！也是三藏灾星未退，他到洞门前牌楼下，却见唐僧在那里独坐，他就近前一把抱住，抢了行李，咬断缰绳，连人和马，复又摄将进去不题。
The Idiot suddenly warmed to the idea, drew his rake and called, “Let’s go!” Forgetting their master, the two rode the wind after the combatants and laid into the demon with rake and precious staff. She could barely hold her own against Pilgrim alone. How could she withstand the other two as well? She turned quickly and fled. Pilgrim shouted, “Brothers, after her!” Seeing them close behind, the demon took the embroidered shoe off her right foot, blew a breath of immortal air over it, recited a spell and cried, “Change!” At once it took her own shape and came at them with two whirling swords. She shook herself into a clear breeze and went straight back. You might think she had only fled to save her life because she could not beat them—but who could have guessed what happened next? Sanzang’s baleful star had not yet departed. When she reached the ornamental gateway at the cave entrance, she saw the Tang Monk sitting there alone. She went up, caught him in her arms, seized the baggage and bit through the reins. Once more she carried both man and horse inside by magic, but let us leave that for now.
且說八戒閃個空，一鈀把妖精打落地，乃是一隻花鞋。行者看見道：「你這兩個獃子，看著師父罷了，誰要你來幫甚麼功？」八戒道：「沙和尚，如何麼？我說莫來。這猴子好的有些夾腦風，我們替他降了妖怪，返落得他生報怨。」行者道：「在那裡降了妖怪？那妖怪昨日與我戰時，使了一個遺鞋計哄了。你們走了，不知師父如何，我們快去看看。」
且说八戒闪个空，一钯把妖精打落地，乃是一只花鞋。行者看见道：「你这两个呆子，看着师父罢了，谁要你来帮甚么功？」八戒道：「沙和尚，如何么？我说莫来。这猴子好的有些夹脑风，我们替他降了妖怪，返落得他生报怨。」行者道：「在那里降了妖怪？那妖怪昨日与我战时，使了一个遗鞋计哄了。你们走了，不知师父如何，我们快去看看。」
Meanwhile Bajie found an opening and knocked the demon to the ground with one blow of his rake. It was only an embroidered shoe. Pilgrim saw it and said, “You two idiots! All you had to do was watch Master. Who asked you to come and help?” Bajie said, “Sha Monk, what did I tell you? I said not to come. This monkey must have something wrong with his head. We subdue the demon for him, and all we get is his complaints!” Pilgrim said, “Where have you subdued a demon? Yesterday, when she fought me, she fooled me with this same trick of leaving a shoe behind. With you two gone, who knows what’s happened to Master? Let’s hurry back and look.”
