六般兵器，一圈套去 Six Weapons, and the Ring Takes Them All
這太子使斬妖劍，劈手相迎。他兩個搭上手，卻才賭鬥，那大聖急轉山坡，叫：「雷公何在？快早去，著妖魔下個雷㨝，助太子降伏來也。」鄧、張二公即踏雲光，正欲下手，只見那太子使出法來，將身一變，變作三頭六臂，手持六般兵器，望妖魔砍來；那魔王也變作三頭六臂，三柄長槍抵住。這太子又弄出降妖法力，將六般兵器拋將起去。是那六般兵器？卻是砍妖劍、斬妖刀、縛妖索、降魔杵、繡球、火輪兒。大叫一聲：「變！」一變十，十變百，百變千，千變萬，都是一般兵器，如驟雨冰雹，紛紛密密，望妖魔打將去。那魔王公然不懼，一隻手取出那白森森的圈子來，望空拋起，叫聲：「著！」唿喇的一下，把六般兵器套將下來。慌得那哪吒太子赤手逃生。魔王得勝而回。这太子使斩妖剑，劈手相迎。他两个搭上手，却才赌斗，那大圣急转山坡，叫：「雷公何在？快早去，着妖魔下个雷㨝，助太子降伏来也。」邓、张二公即踏云光，正欲下手，只见那太子使出法来，将身一变，变作三头六臂，手持六般兵器，望妖魔砍来；那魔王也变作三头六臂，三柄长枪抵住。这太子又弄出降妖法力，将六般兵器抛将起去。是那六般兵器？却是砍妖剑、斩妖刀、缚妖索、降魔杵、绣球、火轮儿。大叫一声：「变！」一变十，十变百，百变千，千变万，都是一般兵器，如骤雨冰雹，纷纷密密，望妖魔打将去。那魔王公然不惧，一只手取出那白森森的圈子来，望空抛起，叫声：「着！」唿喇的一下，把六般兵器套将下来。慌得那哪咤太子赤手逃生。魔王得胜而回。
逐句解 Line by line
The prince drew his fiend-cleaving sword and met him hand to hand.
相迎 takes xiāng, the adverbial reading — met each other — against the xiàng of 相貌 one passage back. 太子 takes zǐ.
The two of them had barely joined hands and begun their contest when the Great Sage darted round the mountain slope and called, "Where are the thunder lords? Go quick and drop a thunder-wedge at the fiend, to help the prince subdue him!"
著妖魔下個雷㨝 takes 著 zhuó — C9, RULED. The frame is dispatching: ch05 has 快著糾察靈官緝訪這廝蹤跡, the same 快 + 著 + NP + VP construction with the causative zhuó. Every durative zhe on the register cliticizes to a host verb — 望著, 照著, 執著 — and 著妖魔 has none, so 著 heads its own phrase; the literary 文讀 zhuó (廣韻 張略切) is what a bare 著 takes in its own right. 降伏 takes xiáng, to subdue, not the jiàng of descending. 雷㨝 U+3A1D reads xiē. Wukong is calling for the thunder lords on the prince's behalf, having declined the same plan two passages earlier. 那大聖 takes nà, 太子 takes zǐ.
Deng and Zhang stepped onto their cloud-light and were on the point of striking when they saw the prince put forth his art: he shook his body into a change, became three-headed and six-armed, took six weapons in his hands and hewed at the fiend; and the demon king also became three-headed and six-armed, and held him off with three long spears.
將身一變 takes the coverb jiāng and 一變 is yí by mechanical sandhi. 長槍 takes cháng, long, not the zhǎng of growing. Both 那 are deictic nà, pinned positionally. The ； links the prince's attack and the fiend's counter inside one sentence, so the two units are joined (rule J1) — and the mirroring is the point: whatever Nezha does, the fiend does back.
Then the prince brought out his fiend-subduing power and flung the six weapons up into the air.
降妖 takes xiáng. 將六般兵器 is the disposal coverb jiāng, and 拋將起去 is the aspectual jiāng of 丟將起去 — two different functions of the same graph in one sentence, pinned positionally. 太子 takes zǐ.
And what were the six weapons?
那 takes nà. The narrator turns to the reader for one line, which is how the storyteller's voice surfaces in this book.
They were the fiend-hewing sword, the fiend-cleaving blade, the fiend-binding rope, the demon-quelling pestle, the embroidered ball and the fire-wheel.
降魔杵 takes xiáng, the subduing reading. 火輪兒 takes the suffix er, the name-forming diminutive, against the child ér of 孩兒 in the previous passage. The list is Nezha's standing equipment and the reader is meant to count it, because in four segments it will all be gone.
He gave a great shout: "Change!"
一聲 is yì by mechanical sandhi.
One became ten, ten became a hundred, a hundred a thousand, a thousand ten thousand, all of them weapons of the same kind, and like a driving rain of hail they came thick and close, beating down at the fiend.
都是 takes dōu and 打將去 the aspectual jiāng. 一變十 is yí and 一般 yì by mechanical sandhi. The multiplication is the largest display of force in the chapter and it occupies exactly one sentence before the ring answers it.
The demon king was not in the least afraid. With one hand he took out that white and glistening ring, threw it up into the empty air and cried, "Hit!"
叫聲「著！」 takes zháo, the resultative — the shout that lands a blow, exactly as at Ch.50. Both 那 are deictic nà, pinned positionally; 圈子 takes zi. 不懼 is bú and 一隻 yì by mechanical sandhi. 白森森 is the whiteness of bone.
With a whoosh it brought the whole six weapons down and gathered them in.
套將下來 takes the aspectual jiāng. 一下 is yí by mechanical sandhi. 唿喇 is the sound-word for a sudden sweep, and the ring needs fourteen graphs to undo the thirty-three that preceded it.
Prince Nezha was thrown into confusion and fled bare-handed for his life.
慌得 takes dé, 那 takes nà, 太子 takes zǐ. 赤手 answers Wukong's 空拳赤腳 in the opening lament — the second disarming of the chapter, in the same words.
The demon king went back victorious.
得勝 takes dé. Six graphs close the first of the chapter's four defeats.
The engagement is built as a ladder and then kicked over. Nezha doubles himself, doubles his weapons, multiplies them ten-thousandfold — thirty-three graphs of escalation — and the ring answers with one throw and one word. The proportion is the argument.
將 does three separate jobs in this passage: the coverb of 將身一變, the disposal marker of 將六般兵器, and the aspectual infix of 拋將起去, 打將去 and 套將下來. All take jiāng, and two fall inside one sentence.
赤手逃生 puts Nezha where Wukong was in the chapter's first passage, 空拳赤腳. The book is keeping a tally of what the ring has taken, and it will be four sets of weapons before the chapter closes.
