When he heardthis, Monkey flew across to the back of the hall where he saw a door that wastightly closed. He slipped through the crack between the two leaves of the doorand found himself in a large empty garden, on one side of which was thewind.settling stake with the Tang Priest tied to it. The tears were pouringdown Sanzang's face as he wondered where Monkey and Pig were. Monkey stoppedflying as he stung his shaven pate and called, "Master." 行者听说，又飞过那厅堂，径来后面。但见层门，关得甚紧，行者漫门缝儿钻将进去，原来是个大空园子，那壁厢定风桩上绳缠索绑着唐僧哩。那师父纷纷泪落，心心只念着悟空、悟能，不知都在何处。行者停翅，叮在他光头上，叫声“师父”。"Monkey," said Sanzang, recognizing his voice, "doyou want to get me killed? Where are you calling me from?" 那长老认得他的声音道：“悟空啊，想杀我也！你在那里叫我哩？”"I'm on your head, master. Don't be anxious or worried. We aresure to catch that evil spirit and save your life." 行者道：“师父，我在你头上哩。你莫要心焦，少得烦恼，我们务必拿住妖精，方才救得你的性命。”"How long will it be till you catch that evil spirit,disciple?" 唐僧道：“徒弟啊，几时才拿得妖精么？”"Pig hasalready killed the tiger monster who captured you," Monkey replied,"but that old fiend has a terrible way with a hurricane. All the same, I'mcertain that I can catch him today, so don't worry and stop crying. I'm offnow." 行者道：“拿你的那虎怪，已被八戒打死了，只是老妖的风势利害。料着只在今日，管取拿他。你放心莫哭，我去哑。”With those words he buzzed away to the front hall, where he saw theold monster sitting on his throne and reviewing his captains. A junior evilspirit suddenly rushed in with a command flag in his hands and announced,"I had just gone out to patrol the mountain, Your Majesty, when I saw amonk with a long snout and big ears sitting in the woods. If I hadn't run asfast as I could, he'd have caught me. But I didn't see that hairy.facedmonk." 说声去，嘤嘤的飞到前面，只见那老妖坐在上面，正点札各路头目。又见那洞前有一个小妖，把个令字旗磨一磨，撞上厅来报道：“大王，小的巡山，才出门，见一个长嘴大耳朵的和尚坐在林里，若不是我跑得快些，几乎被他捉住。却不见昨日那个毛脸和尚。”"If Brother Monkey wasn't there," the old fiend said,"he must have been killed by the wind, and he won't be going off to getsoldiers to rescue his master." 老妖道：“孙行者不在，想必是风吹死也，再不便去那里求救兵去了！”"If the wind killed him, Your Majesty," the other devilssaid, "we are in luck. But if he wasn't killed and went to fetch divinesoldiers instead, what's to be done?" 众妖道：“大王，若果吹杀了他，是我们的造化，只恐吹不死他，他去请些神兵来，却怎生是好？”"What's so frightening about divine soldiers?" the oldfiend said. "None of them can put down my wind except the BodhisattvaLingji, so there's no need to fear the rest of them." 老妖道：“怕他怎的，怕那甚么神兵！若还定得我的风势，只除了灵吉菩萨来是，其余何足惧也！”
