The Tiger Immortal

Journey to the West Chapter 56 The Tiger Immortal

《西游记》第五十六章 虎力大仙

Wukong led the monks to his companions. The monks told the Tang monk everything that they had told Wukong. That's terrible, said the Tang monk. We must help you. Yes, the monkey agreed. I'll deal with the tiger immortal in the morning. The monks knew of an empty building nearby. They led the travelers there and everyone went to sleep for the night.

悟空领着和尚们去找他的同伴。 和尚们把之前跟悟空说过的事全都告诉了唐僧。 唐僧说：“这也太过分了。” 我们一定会帮你们的。 悟空点头应道：“没错。” 明天一早我就去找虎力大仙算账。 和尚们知道附近有座空屋子。 他们领着师徒几人过去，当晚大家都住下休息了。

The next morning, Wukong woke up early. Someone was pounding on the door of the building. A voice boomed. I am the Tiger Immortal! The Tang Monk's eyes popped open. He and all the other monks trembled with fear. Wu Jing and Ba Jie drew their weapons.

第二天一早，悟空醒得很早。 有人正砰砰砸着屋子的门。 一个洪亮的声音响了起来。 我就是虎力大仙！ 唐僧猛地瞪大了眼睛。 他和其他和尚都吓得浑身发抖。 悟净和八戒都掏出了自己的兵器。

Wukong smiled. Don't worry, everyone. I'll deal with this villain. The monkey went outside. Who are you? Demanded the tiger immortal. I am Sun Wukong, said the monkey. And you should be ashamed of yourself. Just because you're a little powerful, you think you can treat the Buddhist monks badly.

悟空笑了笑。 大家别担心。 我去收拾这个坏蛋。 悟空迈步走出门外。 你是谁？ 虎力大仙厉声问道。 悟空说：“我是孙悟空。” 你也太不知羞耻了。 不过是有那么点本事， 就敢随意欺压僧人。

A little powerful? The Tiger Immortal looked offended. I am very powerful! Hukong laughed. You're not as powerful as I am. Did you know that the Jade Emperor is afraid of me? I once defeated his entire army. The Tiger Immortal puffed out his chest. I can summon rain, he said. I doubt you can do that.

就那么点本事？ 虎力大仙看起来被惹怒了。 我的本事大着呢！ 悟空哈哈大笑。 你本事再大也没我大。 你知道吗？玉皇大帝都怕我呢。 我以前把他的十万天兵天将全打败了。 虎力大仙得意地挺起胸脯。 他说：“我能呼风唤雨。” 我看你肯定没这本事。

Wukong snorted. I can summon rain. It's easy. Well then, let's have a contest, said the tiger immortal. Whoever summons more rain is the winner. If you win, I'll let you and all the monks go free. But if I win, you must stay here and be my slaves. You're a fool, said Wukong. I accept your challenge.

悟空哼了一声。 求雨有什么难的，我也会。 虎力大仙说：“那好，我们来比一场。” 谁求来的雨多谁就赢。 要是你赢了，我就放你和所有和尚走。 要是我赢了，你们都得留在这儿给我当奴隶。 悟空说：“你可真傻。” 我接受你的挑战。
