话表孙大圣同近(jin)侍(shi)宦官,到于(yu)皇宫内院,直至(zhi)寝宫门外(wai)立定,将三条金线(xian)(xian)(xian)与宦官拿入(ru)里面,吩咐:"教内宫妃后,或(huo)近(jin)侍(shi)太监(jian),先系在圣躬(gong)左(zuo)手(shou)(shou)(shou)腕(wan)下(xia),按寸关(guan)尺三部上(shang)(shang),却将线(xian)(xian)(xian)头(tou)从窗(chuang)棂(ling)儿穿出(chu)(chu)与我。"真(zhen)个(ge)那(nei)宦官依此(ci)言(yan),请(qing)国王(wang)坐在龙床(chuang),按寸关(guan)尺以金线(xian)(xian)(xian)一(yi)(yi)(yi)头(tou)系了(le)(le),一(yi)(yi)(yi)头(tou)理出(chu)(chu)窗(chuang)外(wai)。行者接了(le)(le)线(xian)(xian)(xian)头(tou),以自(zi)己右(you)手(shou)(shou)(shou)大指(zhi)(zhi)先托着食指(zhi)(zhi),看(kan)了(le)(le)寸脉(mai);次将中(zhong)(zhong)指(zhi)(zhi)按大指(zhi)(zhi),看(kan)了(le)(le)关(guan)脉(mai);又(you)将大指(zhi)(zhi)托定无名指(zhi)(zhi),看(kan)了(le)(le)尺脉(mai);调停自(zi)家(jia)呼(hu)吸,分定四气五郁、七表八里九候(hou)、浮中(zhong)(zhong)沉、沉中(zhong)(zhong)浮,辨(bian)明(ming)了(le)(le)虚实(shi)之(zhi)端;又(you)教解下(xia)左(zuo)手(shou)(shou)(shou),依前系在右(you)手(shou)(shou)(shou)腕(wan)下(xia)部位。行者即以左(zuo)手(shou)(shou)(shou)指(zhi)(zhi),一(yi)(yi)(yi)一(yi)(yi)(yi)从头(tou)诊视毕(bi),却将身抖了(le)(le)一(yi)(yi)(yi)抖,把金线(xian)(xian)(xian)收上(shang)(shang)身来,厉声高(gao)呼(hu)道:"陛下(xia)左(zuo)手(shou)(shou)(shou)寸脉(mai)强而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)紧,关(guan)脉(mai)涩而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)缓(huan),尺脉(mai)芤且沉;右(you)手(shou)(shou)(shou)寸脉(mai)浮而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)滑,关(guan)脉(mai)迟而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)结,尺脉(mai)数(shu)而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)牢(lao)。夫左(zuo)寸强而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)紧者,中(zhong)(zhong)虚心痛也;关(guan)涩而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)缓(huan)者,汗出(chu)(chu)肌麻(ma)也;尺芤而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)沉者,小便赤而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)大便带血(xue)也。右(you)手(shou)(shou)(shou)寸脉(mai)浮而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)滑者,内结经闭也;关(guan)迟而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)结者,宿食留饮(yin)也;尺数(shu)而(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)(er)牢(lao)者,烦(fan)满虚寒相持也。诊此(ci)贵恙是一(yi)(yi)(yi)个(ge)惊恐忧思,号为(wei)双鸟失群(qun)之(zhi)证。"那(nei)国王(wang)在内闻言(yan)满心欢喜,打(da)起精(jing)神高(gao)声应道:"指(zhi)(zhi)下(xia)明(ming)白!指(zhi)(zhi)下(xia)明(ming)白!果是此(ci)疾!请(qing)出(chu)(chu)外(wai)面用药(yao)来也。"
大圣却才缓步出(chu)(chu)宫。早有在旁听见的太监(jian),已先对众报知。须臾行者(zhe)(zhe)出(chu)(chu)来,唐(tang)僧即(ji)(ji)问如(ru)何,行者(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao):"诊了(le)脉,如(ru)今对证制药(yao)(yao)哩(li)。"众官(guan)(guan)上(shang)前道(dao)(dao)(dao):"神(shen)僧长老,适才说(shuo)(shuo)双鸟失群(qun)之(zhi)证,何也?"行者(zhe)(zhe)笑道(dao)(dao)(dao):"有雌(ci)雄二鸟,原在一处(chu)同飞,忽(hu)被暴风(feng)骤雨惊散,雌(ci)不(bu)(bu)(bu)能见雄,雄不(bu)(bu)(bu)能见雌(ci),雌(ci)乃想(xiang)雄,雄亦想(xiang)雌(ci):这(zhei)不(bu)(bu)(bu)是双鸟失群(qun)也?" 众官(guan)(guan)闻说(shuo)(shuo),齐声喝采道(dao)(dao)(dao):"真(zhen)是神(shen)僧!真(zhen)是神(shen)医(yi)!"称(cheng)赞不(bu)(bu)(bu)已。当有太医(yi)官(guan)(guan)问道(dao)(dao)(dao):"病势(shi)已看出(chu)(chu)矣(yi),但(dan)不(bu)(bu)(bu)知用(yong)何药(yao)(yao)治之(zhi)?"行者(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao):"不(bu)(bu)(bu)必执方,见药(yao)(yao)就(jiu)要(yao)。"医(yi)官(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)(dao):"经(jing)云(yun)药(yao)(yao)有八(ba)百八(ba)味(wei)(wei),人有四百四病。病不(bu)(bu)(bu)在一人之(zhi)身,药(yao)(yao)岂有全用(yong)之(zhi)理!如(ru)何见药(yao)(yao)就(jiu)要(yao)?"行者(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao):"古人云(yun),药(yao)(yao)不(bu)(bu)(bu)执方,合宜(yi)而用(yong),故(gu)此全征(zheng)药(yao)(yao)品,而随便(bian)加减(jian)也。"那医(yi)官(guan)(guan)不(bu)(bu)(bu)复再言,即(ji)(ji)出(chu)(chu)朝门之(zhi)外,差本(ben)衙当值之(zhi)人,遍晓满(man)城生熟药(yao)(yao)铺(pu),即(ji)(ji)将(jiang)药(yao)(yao)品,每(mei)味(wei)(wei)各办(ban)三斤,送与行者(zhe)(zhe)。行者(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao):"此间(jian)不(bu)(bu)(bu)是制药(yao)(yao)处(chu),可将(jiang)诸药(yao)(yao)之(zhi)数(shu)并制药(yao)(yao)一应器皿,都(dou)送入(ru)会(hui)同馆(guan),交与我师弟(di)二人收(shou)下。"医(yi)官(guan)(guan)听命,即(ji)(ji)将(jiang)八(ba)百八(ba)味(wei)(wei)每(mei)味(wei)(wei)三斤及药(yao)(yao)碾、药(yao)(yao)磨、药(yao)(yao)罗、药(yao)(yao)乳(ru)并乳(ru)钵(bo)、乳(ru)槌之(zhi)类(lei)都(dou)送至(zhi)馆(guan)中(zhong),一一交付收(shou)讫。
行者(zhe)往殿(dian)上请师父同至馆中(zhong)制(zhi)药(yao)。那长老正(zheng)自起(qi)身,忽(hu)见内宫传旨,教阁(ge)下(xia)留(liu)住法师,同宿文华殿(dian),待明朝(chao)服药(yao)之后,病痊酬谢,倒换关(guan)文送行。三藏大惊道:"徒弟啊,此意是留(liu)我(wo)做(zuo)当头哩。若(ruo)(ruo)医(yi)得好,欢喜起(qi)送;若(ruo)(ruo)医(yi)不好,我(wo)命休(xiu)矣。你须仔细上心(xin),精虔制(zhi)度(du)也!"行者(zhe)笑道:"师父放心(xin)在此受(shou)用(yong),老孙自有医(yi)国之手。"
好大圣,别了(le)三(san)藏,辞了(le)众臣,径至馆中。八戒迎着(zhe)笑道(dao):"师(shi)兄,我知(zhi)道(dao)你了(le)。"行(xing)者道(dao):"你知(zhi)甚么?"八戒道(dao):"知(zhi)你取(qu)经(jing)之事不(bu)果,欲作(zuo)生(sheng)涯无本,今日见此(ci)处富庶(shu),设法要(yao)开(kai)药铺(pu)哩(li)。"行(xing)者喝道(dao):"莫胡说(shuo)!医(yi)好国王,得(de)意处辞朝走路(lu),开(kai)甚么药铺(pu)!"八戒道(dao):"终不(bu)然,这八百八味药,每味三(san)斤,共(gong)计二千四百二十四斤,只医(yi)一人,能(neng)用多(duo)(duo)少(shao)?不(bu)知(zhi)多(duo)(duo)少(shao)年(nian)代(dai)方吃得(de)了(le)哩(li)!"行(xing)者道(dao):"那(nei)里用得(de)许多(duo)(duo)?他那(nei)太医(yi)院官(guan)都是(shi)些愚盲之辈,所以取(qu)这许多(duo)(duo)药品,教他没处捉摸,不(bu)知(zhi)我用的是(shi)那(nei)几味,难识我神妙之方也。"
正说(shuo)处,只(zhi)见(jian)两(liang)个馆使(shi),当面跪下(xia)道:"请神(shen)僧老(lao)爷进晚(wan)斋。"行(xing)者(zhe)道:"早(zao)间(jian)那般(ban)待(dai)(dai)我,如(ru)今(jin)(jin)却跪而(er)请之(zhi)(zhi),何也(ye)?"馆使(shi)叩(kou)头(tou)道:"老(lao)爷来(lai)时,下(xia)官有(you)眼(yan)无珠(zhu),不(bu)识尊颜(yan)。今(jin)(jin)闻老(lao)爷大展三(san)折之(zhi)(zhi)肱,治我一国(guo)(guo)之(zhi)(zhi)主,若主上(shang)(shang)病愈,老(lao)爷江山有(you)分,我辈皆臣子也(ye),礼当拜请。"行(xing)者(zhe)见(jian)说(shuo),欣然登堂上(shang)(shang)坐,八戒、沙僧分坐左右,摆上(shang)(shang)斋来(lai)。沙僧便问(wen)(wen)道:"师兄,师父(fu)在那里(li)哩(li)?"行(xing)者(zhe)笑(xiao)道:"师父(fu)被(bei)国(guo)(guo)王留住作当头(tou)哩(li),只(zhi)待(dai)(dai)医好了病,方才酬谢送(song)行(xing)。"沙僧又(you)问(wen)(wen):"可有(you)些受用(yong)么(me)?"行(xing)者(zhe)道:"国(guo)(guo)王岂无受用(yong)!我来(lai)时,他(ta)已有(you)三(san)个阁老(lao)陪侍左右,请入文华(hua)殿去也(ye)。"八戒道:"这等说(shuo),还是师父(fu)大哩(li)。他(ta)倒有(you)阁老(lao)陪侍,我们只(zhi)得两(liang)个馆使(shi)奉承。且莫管他(ta),让老(lao)猪吃(chi)顿(dun)饱饭也(ye)。"兄弟们遂自(zi)在受用(yong)一番(fan)。
天色已(yi)晚(wan),行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)叫(jiao)馆使(shi):"收了(le)(le)(le)家火,多办些油蜡(la),我等(deng)(deng)(deng)到夜静(jing)时(shi)方好(hao)制药(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)。"馆使(shi)果送若干(gan)油蜡(la),各(ge)命(ming)散讫。至半(ban)夜,天街(jie)人(ren)静(jing),万籁(lai)无(wu)声。八戒(jie)(jie)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"哥哥,制何药(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)?赶早(zao)干(gan)事。我瞌睡了(le)(le)(le)。"行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"你(ni)(ni)将大(da)黄取一两(liang)来,碾(nian)为(wei)细(xi)末。"沙僧(seng)乃(nai)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"大(da)黄味(wei)苦,性(xing)寒(han)无(wu)毒,其性(xing)沉而(er)(er)(er)不(bu)浮,其用(yong)走而(er)(er)(er)不(bu)守,夺诸郁而(er)(er)(er)无(wu)壅滞(zhi),定祸乱而(er)(er)(er)致(zhi)太平,名(ming)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)曰将军(jun)。此(ci)行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)药(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)耳,但恐久病(bing)虚(xu)弱,不(bu)可(ke)用(yong)此(ci)。"行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)笑道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"贤弟不(bu)知(zhi),此(ci)药(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)利痰顺气(qi),荡肚中凝滞(zhi)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)寒(han)热(re)。你(ni)(ni)莫管我,你(ni)(ni)去(qu)(qu)取一两(liang)巴(ba)豆,去(qu)(qu)壳去(qu)(qu)膜,捶去(qu)(qu)油毒,碾(nian)为(wei)细(xi)末来。"八戒(jie)(jie)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"巴(ba)豆味(wei)辛(xin),性(xing)热(re)有(you)毒,削坚积(ji),荡肺(fei)腑之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)沉寒(han),通闭塞,利水(shui)谷之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)路,乃(nai)斩关夺门(men)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)将,不(bu)可(ke)轻用(yong)。"行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"贤弟,你(ni)(ni)也不(bu)知(zhi),此(ci)药(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)破(po)结宣肠,能理心膨(peng)水(shui)胀。快制来,我还有(you)佐(zuo)使(shi)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)味(wei)辅之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)也。"他二(er)人(ren)即时(shi)将二(er)药(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)碾(nian)细(xi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"师兄,还用(yong)那(nei)几十味(wei)?"行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"不(bu)用(yong)了(le)(le)(le)。"八戒(jie)(jie)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"八百(bai)八味(wei),每味(wei)三(san)斤,只(zhi)(zhi)用(yong)此(ci)二(er)两(liang),诚为(wei)起夺人(ren)了(le)(le)(le)。"行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)将一个(ge)(ge)花磁(ci)盏子(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"贤弟莫讲,你(ni)(ni)拿这个(ge)(ge)盏儿,将锅脐(qi)灰(hui)刮(gua)半(ban)盏过来。"八戒(jie)(jie)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"要怎的(de)?"行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"药(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)内要用(yong)。"沙僧(seng)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"小(xiao)弟不(bu)曾见药(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)内用(yong)锅灰(hui)。"行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"锅灰(hui)名(ming)为(wei)百(bai)草霜,能调百(bai)病(bing),你(ni)(ni)不(bu)知(zhi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)。"那(nei)呆子(zi)真个(ge)(ge)刮(gua)了(le)(le)(le)半(ban)盏,又(you)碾(nian)细(xi)了(le)(le)(le)。行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)又(you)将盏子(zi),递与他道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"你(ni)(ni)再(zai)去(qu)(qu)把我们的(de)马(ma)尿等(deng)(deng)(deng)半(ban)盏来。"八戒(jie)(jie)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"要他怎的(de)?"行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"要丸(wan)药(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)。"沙僧(seng)又(you)笑道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"哥哥,这事不(bu)是(shi)耍子(zi)。马(ma)尿腥(xing)臊,如何入得药(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)品?我只(zhi)(zhi)见醋糊为(wei)丸(wan),陈米糊为(wei)丸(wan),炼蜜(mi)为(wei)丸(wan),或只(zhi)(zhi)是(shi)清水(shui)为(wei)丸(wan),那(nei)曾见马(ma)尿为(wei)丸(wan)?那(nei)东西(xi)腥(xing)腥(xing)臊臊,脾虚(xu)的(de)人(ren),一闻就吐;再(zai)服巴(ba)豆大(da)黄,弄(nong)得人(ren)上吐下泻,可(ke)是(shi)耍子(zi)?"行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"你(ni)(ni)不(bu)知(zhi)就里,我那(nei)马(ma)不(bu)是(shi)凡马(ma),他本(ben)是(shi)西(xi)海龙身。若得他肯去(qu)(qu)便溺(ni),凭你(ni)(ni)何疾,服之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)即愈,但急(ji)不(bu)可(ke)得耳。"八戒(jie)(jie)闻言,真个(ge)(ge)去(qu)(qu)到马(ma)边。那(nei)马(ma)斜伏地下睡哩,呆子(zi)一顿脚踢起,衬在肚下,等(deng)(deng)(deng)了(le)(le)(le)半(ban)会,全不(bu)见撒尿。他跑将来对(dui)行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)说:"哥啊(a),且莫去(qu)(qu)医(yi)(yi)皇帝(di),且快去(qu)(qu)医(yi)(yi)医(yi)(yi)马(ma)来。那(nei)亡人(ren)干(gan)结了(le)(le)(le),莫想尿得出一点儿!"行(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)笑道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"我和(he)你(ni)(ni)去(qu)(qu)。"沙僧(seng)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):"我也去(qu)(qu)看看。"
三人(ren)都(dou)到马(ma)(ma)边,那(nei)(nei)马(ma)(ma)跳(tiao)将起来,口吐人(ren)言(yan),厉声(sheng)(sheng)高叫道:"师兄,你岂(qi)不(bu)(bu)知?我(wo)本是(shi)西海飞(fei)龙(long),因为犯了(le)(le)(le)天条(tiao),观(guan)音菩萨救(jiu)了(le)(le)(le)我(wo),将我(wo)锯(ju)了(le)(le)(le)角,退(tui)了(le)(le)(le)鳞(lin),变(bian)作马(ma)(ma),驮(tuo)师父往(wang)西天取(qu)经,将功(gong)折罪。我(wo)若过水撒(sa)尿(niao),水中游鱼食(shi)了(le)(le)(le)成龙(long);过山(shan)撒(sa)尿(niao),山(shan)中草(cao)头得味(wei),变(bian)作灵(ling)芝(zhi),仙(xian)僮采去(qu)长寿。我(wo)怎肯在此(ci)尘俗(su)之处轻抛却也?"行(xing)者道:"兄弟谨(jin)言(yan),此(ci)间乃(nai)西方(fang)国王,非尘俗(su)也,亦非轻抛弃也。常言(yan)道,众毛攒裘,要与本国之王治病哩。医(yi)得好时,大家光辉,不(bu)(bu)然,恐惧不(bu)(bu)得善离此(ci)地也。"那(nei)(nei)马(ma)(ma)才叫声(sheng)(sheng)"等着!"你看他往(wang)前扑了(le)(le)(le)一扑,往(wang)后蹲了(le)(le)(le)一蹲,咬得那(nei)(nei)满口牙龁支支的响喨,仅努(nu)出几(ji)点儿(er),将身立起。八戒道:"这个亡人(ren)!就(jiu)是(shi)金(jin)汁子(zi),再撒(sa)些(xie)儿(er)也罢(ba)!"那(nei)(nei)行(xing)者见有(you)少半盏,道:"够了(le)(le)(le)!够了(le)(le)(le)!拿去(qu)罢(ba)。"沙僧方(fang)才欢喜(xi)。
三人回至厅上(shang),把前(qian)项药(yao)饵搅和(he)一(yi)处,搓了三个大丸子。行者道(dao):"兄弟(di),忒大了。"八戒道(dao):"只(zhi)有核桃(tao)大,若(ruo)论我吃,还不够一(yi)口(kou)哩!"遂此(ci)收在一(yi)个小盒(he)儿里。兄弟(di)们(men)连衣(yi)睡(shui)下,一(yi)夜无词。
早是(shi)天晓(xiao),却说那国王耽病(bing)设朝,请唐僧见了,即命众官快(kuai)往会同(tong)馆参拜神僧孙长老(lao)取药去(qu)。
多(duo)(duo)(duo)官(guan)随(sui)至(zhi)馆中,对行(xing)者拜伏(fu)于地道(dao)(dao)(dao):"我王特命臣等拜领(ling)妙剂(ji)。"行(xing)者叫八(ba)戒取(qu)盒儿,揭开盖子,递与多(duo)(duo)(duo)官(guan)。多(duo)(duo)(duo)官(guan)启问:"此(ci)药何名?好见王回话。"行(xing)者道(dao)(dao)(dao):"此(ci)名乌金丹。"八(ba)戒二人暗(an)中作笑道(dao)(dao)(dao):"锅灰(hui)拌(ban)的,怎么不是(shi)乌金!"多(duo)(duo)(duo)官(guan)又问道(dao)(dao)(dao):"用(yong)何引(yin)子?"行(xing)者道(dao)(dao)(dao):"药引(yin)儿两般都下(xia)得。有(you)一般易取(qu)者,乃六物煎汤送下(xia)。"多(duo)(duo)(duo)官(guan)问:"是(shi)何六物?"行(xing)者道(dao)(dao)(dao):"半空(kong)飞的老(lao)鸦(ya)屁,紧水负的鲤鱼(yu)尿,王母(mu)娘娘搽脸(lian)粉,老(lao)君炉里炼丹灰(hui),玉皇戴破的头(tou)巾要三块,还要五(wu)根(gen)困龙须:六物煎汤送此(ci)药,你王忧病(bing)等时除(chu)。"

国王笑道(dao):"用得(de)当!用得(de)当!猪(zhu)长老再饮一(yi)杯(bei)。"呆子亦不言语,却(que)也吃了(le)个三(san)宝锺。国王又递了(le)沙僧酒(jiu),也吃了(le)三(san)杯(bei),却(que)俱叙坐(zuo)。

八(ba)戒、沙僧也都(dou)要躲,被(bei)行者左(zuo)右(you)手(shou)扯住他(ta)两个道,"兄弟们,不要怕(pa)得,我(wo)和你认他(ta)一(yi)认,看是个甚(shen)么妖(yao)精。"八(ba)戒道:"可是扯淡!认他(ta)怎(zen)的(de)?众官(guan)躲了(le),师父(fu)藏了(le),国(guo)王避了(le),我(wo)们不去了(le)罢,炫的(de)是那家世!"那呆子左(zuo)挣右(you)挣,挣不得脱手(shou),被(bei)行者拿定多时,只见那半空里闪出一(yi)个妖(yao)精。你看他(ta)怎(zen)生模样:
九尺长身多恶狞,一双环眼闪金灯。
两轮查耳如撑扇,四个钢牙似插钉。
鬓绕红毛眉竖焰,鼻垂精准孔开明,
髭髯几缕朱砂线,颧骨崚嶒满面青。
两臂红筋蓝靛手,十条尖爪把枪擎。
豹皮(pi)裙子腰间系(xi),赤脚蓬头若(ruo)鬼(gui)形。
行(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)见了道(dao):"沙僧(seng),你(ni)(ni)可认(ren)得(de)他(ta)(ta)(ta)?"沙僧(seng)道(dao):"我(wo)又(you)(you)不(bu)曾(ceng)与他(ta)(ta)(ta)相识,那(nei)里认(ren)得(de)!"又(you)(you)问:"八(ba)戒(jie),你(ni)(ni)可认(ren)得(de)他(ta)(ta)(ta)?"八(ba)戒(jie)道(dao):"我(wo)又(you)(you)不(bu)曾(ceng)与他(ta)(ta)(ta)会茶会酒,又(you)(you)不(bu)是宾朋邻里,我(wo)怎么认(ren)得(de)他(ta)(ta)(ta)!"行(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)道(dao):"他(ta)(ta)(ta)却(que)象(xiang)东岳天齐手下(xia)把门的(de)那(nei)个(ge)(ge)醮面金睛鬼。"八(ba)戒(jie)道(dao):"不(bu)是!不(bu)是!"行(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)道(dao):"你(ni)(ni)怎知他(ta)(ta)(ta)不(bu)是?"八(ba)戒(jie)道(dao):"我(wo)岂不(bu)知,鬼乃阴灵也(ye)(ye),一日(ri)至晚,交申酉戌亥时方出(chu)。今日(ri)还在(zai)巳时,那(nei)里有(you)鬼敢(gan)出(chu)来?就是鬼,也(ye)(ye)不(bu)会驾(jia)云(yun)。纵(zong)(zong)会弄风,也(ye)(ye)只(zhi)是一阵旋风耳(er),有(you)这等狂风?或者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)他(ta)(ta)(ta)就是赛太岁也(ye)(ye)。"行(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)笑道(dao):"好呆子!倒也(ye)(ye)有(you)些论头!既如(ru)此说,你(ni)(ni)两个(ge)(ge)护(hu)持在(zai)此,等老孙(sun)去问他(ta)(ta)(ta)个(ge)(ge)名号,好与国王救取金圣宫来朝。"八(ba)戒(jie)道(dao):"你(ni)(ni)去自去,切莫(mo)供出(chu)我(wo)们(men)来。"行(xing)(xing)者(zhe)(zhe)(zhe)昂然不(bu)答,急纵(zong)(zong)祥光,跳将上去。咦!正是:
安邦先却君王病(bing),守道(dao)须除爱(ai)恶心(xin)。
毕(bi)竟不知此去,到于空(kong)中,胜败如何,怎么擒得妖怪,救得金圣宫,且(qie)听下回分(fen)解(jie)。
