Answer 1

The translation of the twenty-third chapter of Journey to the West is as follows:

The poem says: ordered to go west to seek Dharma, the road is long, the autumn wind blows off the frost. A clever monkey should be firmly tied to the rope, and a naughty horse should be spurred. Mother Mu (Zhu Bajie) and Lord Jin (Sun Wukong) were originally compatible, and there was nothing wrong with Granny Huang (Sand Monk) and Red Son (Tang Sanzang). Bite open the iron bullet (understand the true meaning of Buddhism) and you will reach the Western Buddhist Land. This time, he was talking about the way to learn from the scriptures, which was inseparable from the principle of a person's duty.

The four of them had comprehended Buddhism and immediately cast aside their worldly worries. Ever since they jumped out of the Flowing Sand River, they had no worries and directly headed west. He had seen all the green mountains and rivers, as well as the endless wild grass and flowers. Time flew by, and it was late autumn again. Maple leaves were red all over the hills, and chrysanthemums stood upright in the evening wind. The chirping of the old cicada gradually became lazy, and the sad cricket's thoughts were endless. The lotus leaves were broken like a green fan. The orange tree emitted a fragrance, and the fruits were like golden marbles. The poor geese flew away bit by bit and disappeared into the horizon.

As they walked, it was already late. "Disciples," said Tang Sanzang,"it's getting late. Where should we go to rest?" Sun Wukong said,"Master, you're wrong. Monks eat in the wind and sleep in the open. They use the moon as their bed and the frost as their blanket. There's a home everywhere. Why ask where to rest?" Zhu Bajie said,"Brother, you only know how easy it is to walk. How can you care about the fatigue of others?" Ever since they crossed the Flowing Sand River, they had been climbing mountains and crossing ridges. It was really unbearable to carry a heavy burden on their bodies! We have to find a family. First, we have to eat vegetarian food. Second, we have to be able to recuperate. That's the reason." Sun Wukong said,"Fool, you sound like you're complaining." He was still as lazy and carefree as when he was in Gao Lao Zhuang. He was afraid that he would not be able to do so. Since you're a monk who abides by the righteous path, you have to endure hardships before you can become a disciple." "Brother, look at how heavy this luggage is," said Zhu Bajie. "Brother," Sun Wukong said,"I haven't picked anything since you and Friar Sand came. How would I know how heavy it is?" Zhu Bajie said,"Brother, look at this number--four pieces of yellow rattan strips and eight ropes." To guard against rainy weather, the felt bag had three or four layers. The carrying pole was afraid of slipping, so nails were nailed on both ends. A nine-ringed monk staff inlaid with copper and iron, and a large cloak wrapped in thin silk vines. It's hard for me to carry so much luggage every day, but you have to follow master as a disciple and treat me as a long-term worker!" "Idiot, who are you talking to?" Sun Wukong laughed. "Brother, I'm talking to you," said Zhu Bajie. Sun Wukong said,"You told me the wrong thing." Old Sun only cares about Master's safety, while you and Monk Sand take care of the luggage and horses. If you are negligent, I will beat your leg bones with a thick stick!" Zhu Bajie said,"Brother, don't talk about fighting. Fighting is bullying people with strength." I know that you are proud and won't be picky, but the horse that Master is riding is so tall and fat, and it's only carrying the old monk. It's a brotherly bond to let it carry a few pieces of luggage." Sun Wukong said,"You said it was a horse!" It was not an ordinary horse. It was the son of Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea. Its name was the Third Prince of the Dragon Horse. Because he set fire to the pearl in the hall, he was sued by his father for the crime of disobedience. He violated the laws of heaven. Fortunately, Guan Yin Bodhisattva saved his life. He had waited for his master for a long time in Yingchou Steep Stream. Fortunately, Bodhisattva had come in person to remove his scales, remove his dragon horns, and pluck the pearl from his neck. Only then did he become this horse, willing to carry his master to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha.
