《西游记》第88章 道士的阴谋

Help! cried Bajie. Spider webs now covered the pig so he couldn't move at all. Wukong quickly grew tall. He swung his iron bar furiously at the young women. Oh no! cried one woman. The monkey is a powerful spirit! cried another. We must leave! cried the third.

“救命啊！”八戒大喊。蜘蛛丝缠满了他的身子，他根本动弹不得。 悟空猛地拔高身形，挥起金箍棒狠狠朝那些年轻女子打去。 “哎呀糟了！”一名女子惊叫起来。 “这猴子是法力高强的神仙！”另一个女子大喊。 “我们得赶紧逃！”第三个女子叫道。

Poof! The women vanished. Wukong ran into the house. He saw a large form wrapped in spider webs in a corner. Master! cried the monkey. He quickly pulled off the webs. Thank you, Wukong, said the monk breathlessly. Those women were planning to eat me. Those women are gone now, said Wukong. Then he smirked. Bajie scared them away. The pig was a real hero.

“噗！”几名女子瞬间消失了。悟空连忙跑进屋子。 他看见角落里有个被蜘蛛丝裹得严严实实的高大身影。 “师父！”悟空大喊道。 他飞快地扯掉了缠在唐僧身上的蛛丝。 “谢谢你，悟空。”唐僧气喘吁吁地说。 “那些女人本来打算吃了我。” “那些女人现在已经跑掉啦。”悟空说完，咧嘴坏笑起来。 “是八戒把她们吓跑的，这头猪可真是个大英雄哦。”

Wonderful, said the Tang monk as they went outside. Where is Bajie now? He's right there. Wukong pointed and laughed. Bajie the brave hero. Bajie was on the ground, still struggling to get out of the webs. He pretended to laugh. Wukong, very funny.

“太好了。”唐僧一边说着一边走到了屋外。 “八戒现在在哪里呀？” “他就在那儿呢。” 悟空指着八戒哈哈大笑。 “我们的勇敢大英雄八戒呀。” 八戒正躺在地上，还在拼命想从蛛丝里挣脱出来。 他假装笑了笑。 “悟空，你可真有意思。”

The road left the forest and headed up a mountain. The travelers arrived at a Daoist abbey. Maybe we can rest here, said Wu Jing. The group entered the abbey. An old priest was inside, mixing a potion. Visitors, said the priest, come in and make yourselves at home. Thank you, said the Tang monk. The priest led them to a sitting area.

小路延伸出森林，蜿蜒向上通往一座山。 师徒几人来到了一座道观门前。 “说不定我们可以在这儿休息一会儿。”悟净提议道。 一行人走进了道观。 里面有个老道士正在调配药水。 “有客人来啦，”道士开口说， “快进来，别客气，就当在自己家一样。” “多谢道长。”唐僧连忙道谢。 道士领着他们走到了会客的地方。

Your Buddhists? The priest observed as everyone sat down. Where are you going? The Tang monk opened his mouth to answer, but Wu Kong spoke first. We're on our way to visit friends, said the monkey. That's nice, said the priest. Would you like some tea? I have plenty of food too. I will prepare a meal for us.

“你们是佛教徒吗？” 大家落座的时候，道士打量着众人问道。 “你们要去哪里呀？” 唐僧刚张开嘴要回答，悟空就抢先开了口。 “我们要去拜访朋友。”悟空说道。 “那挺好呀。”道士说。 “你们要不要喝点茶？我还有好多吃的，我去给咱们准备饭菜去。”
