Magic Fire

Journey to the West Chapter 50 Magic Fire

《西游记 第五十回 神火》

Wukong and his companions ran back down the mountain, escaping the fire. Red Boy's fire is powerful, said the monkey. We were nearly roasted, said Bajie. Wu Jing looked up at the mountain peak. The fire is dying down now. Yes, said Wukong, looking at the last few wisps of smoke. But he'll use it again if we go back up there.

悟空和同伴们躲开大火，往山下跑去。 悟空说道：“红孩儿的火太厉害了。” 八戒说：“咱们差点被烤成肉干啦。” 沙僧抬头望向山顶。 现在火慢慢变小了。 悟空看着最后几缕烟，点头说道：“是啊。” 不过咱们要是再上去，他肯定还会放火的。

We need water, said Wu Jing. Then if he makes fire again, we can just put it out. Wukong nodded. You two wait here. I know who can help us. The monkey shot into the air and flew away. When he returned, the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea was with him. Wukong introduced the Dragon King to Bajie and Wu Jing.

沙僧说：“我们得找水来。” 这样他再放火的话，我们就能把火浇灭了。 悟空点了点头。 你们俩在这儿等着，我知道谁能帮咱们。 悟空“嗖”地一下窜到天上飞走了。 等他回来的时候，身边跟着东海龙王。 悟空把龙王介绍给了八戒和沙僧。

I can summon rain clouds, said the Dragon King. Go back up the mountain and get Red Boy to come out. As soon as he makes his fire, I'll create a huge rainstorm. The Dragon King flew up into the sky. Wukong and the others returned to the cave. Open up, Red Boy! The monkey pounded on the cave door.

龙王说：“我能召唤雨云。” 你们回到山上把红孩儿引出来。 他一放火，我就下一场大暴雨把火浇灭。 龙王飞到了天上。 悟空他们回到了洞门口。 红孩儿，快开门！ 悟空使劲砸着洞门。

The door flew open and Red Boy ran outside. Release the Tang Monk right now! shouted Wukong. Never! shouted the demon. He made a fist and punched himself in the nose. Smoke and fire poured from his face again. Dragon King called the monkey. Make it rain!

洞门猛地打开，红孩儿跑了出来。 快把唐僧放出来！ 悟空大喊道。 想都别想！ 妖怪大吼道。 他攥起拳头，一拳打在自己的鼻子上。 浓烟和火焰立刻又从他脸上喷了出来。 悟空连忙喊道：“龙王！” 快下雨！

Thunder rumbled as dark clouds filled the sky. Rain poured down. The fire, however, didn't go out. Instead it grew bigger and bigger. The smoke became thick. Coughing and unable to breathe, Wukong covered his face. He saw Bajie and Wujing running away. The monkey tried to get to the cave door but the smoke was too thick. He tripped on a rock and tumbled down the side of the mountain.

天空乌云密布，雷声隆隆，大雨倾盆而下，可那火 非但没有熄灭，反而越烧越旺，烟也变得越来越浓。 悟空呛得喘不过气，连忙捂住脸，他看见八戒和 沙僧都跑开了，悟空想冲到洞门口，可烟实在 太浓了，他被石头绊倒，咕噜噜滚下了山坡。
