The Bodhisattva said: "Tang Monk, the one who struck you the other day was the false Pilgrim, a Six-Eared Macaque.

The verdict is delivered to Tripitaka in nineteen graphs, without preamble — the plain fact he has been unable to establish for himself.

幸xìng如rú來lái知zhī識shí，已yǐ被bèi悟wù空kōng打dǎ死sǐ。幸xìng如rú来lái知zhī识shí，已yǐ被bèi悟wù空kōng打dǎ死sǐ。

By the Tathāgata's good knowledge of him, he has already been struck dead by Wukong.

幸如來知識 'fortunately the Tathāgata knew him' — 知識 here in its literal sense of knowing and recognising, not the modern noun 'knowledge'.

你nǐ今jīn須xū是shì收shōu留liú悟wù空kōng，一yí路lù上shàng魔mó障zhàng未wèi消xiāo，必bì得děi他tā保bǎo護hù你nǐ，才cái得dé到dào靈líng山shān，見jiàn佛fó取qǔ經jīng。再zài休xiū嗔chēn怪guài。」你nǐ今jīn须xū是shì收shōu留liú悟wù空kōng，一yí路lù上shàng魔mó障zhàng未wèi消xiāo，必bì得děi他tā保bǎo护hù你nǐ，才cái得dé到dào灵líng山shān，见jiàn佛fó取qǔ经jīng。再zài休xiū嗔chēn怪guài。」

You must now take Wukong back in. The demon-barriers along the road are not yet done with; you will have to have him guard you, and only so will you get to the Numinous Mountain, see the Buddha and fetch the scriptures. Give over your resentment."

必得 děi — the colloquial modal 'must, have to', a THIRD reading beside the dé of 才得到 four graphs later. 再休嗔怪 (4 Han) is joined backwards here (§6 J3).

三sān藏zàng叩kòu頭tóu道dào：「謹jǐn遵zūn教jiào旨zhǐ。」三sān藏zàng叩kòu头tóu道dào：「谨jǐn遵zūn教jiào旨zhǐ。」

Tripitaka knocked his head and said: "I shall respectfully obey the instruction."

教旨 jiào, an instruction from a superior. Nine graphs, and it is the whole of Tripitaka's response to a chapter that began with his expelling Wukong.

總評 Commentary

Guanyin does not ask; she instructs. 你今須是收留悟空 — you must now take Wukong back in — and the reason she gives is purely practical: the road ahead has demons on it and you will not survive without him. 必得他保護你，才得到靈山 makes the argument from necessity, not from justice.

That is a deliberate choice on the novel's part. Nobody tells Tripitaka he was wrong. Nobody makes him apologise. The reconciliation is arranged over his head by a Bodhisattva acting on the Buddha's word, and his part in it is four graphs of compliance: 謹遵教旨.

再休嗔怪 — give over your resentment — is the closest the chapter comes to addressing the original quarrel, and it is addressed to the master rather than the disciple. The expulsion that set five thousand graphs in motion is closed by an instruction not to be annoyed.
