護持倒換
Escorting the Master
此時唐三藏醒來，叫：「徒弟，徒弟，伏侍我倒換關文去來。」行者與沙僧、八戒急起身，穿了衣服，侍立左右道：「上告師父。這國君信著那些道士，興道滅僧，恐言語差錯，不肯倒換關文，我等護持師父，都進朝去也。」此时唐三藏醒来，叫：「徒弟，徒弟，伏侍我倒换关文去来。」行者与沙僧、八戒急起身，穿了衣服，侍立左右道：「上告师父。这国君信着那些道士，兴道灭僧，恐言语差错，不肯倒换关文，我等护持师父，都进朝去也。」

總評 Commentary
Wukong turns strategist: knowing the king's bias, he insists the disciples escort the Tang Monk into court en masse, lest a careless word cost them the vital re-stamping of the rescript. The phrase 興道滅僧 recurs as the arc's keynote — the very policy the pilgrims must navigate — and the passage sets the stage for the throne-room encounter that will occupy the rest of the chapter.
