總評 Commentary
Wukong closes the trick with a taunting self-declaration cast, once more, in tidy tetrasyllabic verse — the same solemn meter the immortals used for their prayers, now turned into a jeer. He mock-observes every courtesy (“how are we to repay your worship?”) only to spring the final line, whose crude 尿 detonates the accumulated pieties of the whole episode. The passage also stages a neat minimal pair for the two readings of 甚: the intensifier shèn (不甚) and the interrogative shén (甚麼).
