'There is one more disciple, called Sha the Monk — a swarthy fellow with an ill-omened face, who wields a treasure-staff. Yesterday he came to this gate demanding his master, and I led out my river-troops, gave him a volley of the steel whip, and fought him until he was routed and fled for his life — he seemed nothing so very formidable.'

總評 Commentary

The prince rebukes the alligator-dragon's ignorance and warns him of the disciples, but the fiend, having routed Sha Monk once, dismisses the danger — boasting of Pigsy caught and Sha Monk beaten. His fatal underestimation, of the unmentioned Pilgrim above all, seals the coming defeat.
