總評 Commentary
The drill continues in tidy parallel — second point, cloud; third, thunder and lightning — each answered by the eager compliance of the very deities the altar was built to compel. The formal repetition (第二指…第三指…) mirrors the immortal's own five-signal code from earlier, now appropriated wholesale and turned to Wukong's ends.
