此时城门尚开，人家未睡，老王父子与唐僧俱在暴纱亭盼望。只见他们扑哩扑剌的丢下一院子死兽、猪羊及细软物件，一齐叫道：“师父，我们已得胜回来也！”那殿下喏喏相谢，唐长老满心欢喜，三个小王子跪拜于地，沙僧搀起道：“且莫谢，都近前看看那物件。”王子道：“此物俱是何来？”行者笑道：“那虎狼彪豹，马鹿山羊，都是成精的妖怪。被我们取了兵器，打出门来。那老妖是个金毛狮子，他使一柄四明铲，与我等战到天晚，败阵逃生，往东南上走了。我等不曾赶他，却扫除他归路，打杀这些群妖，搜寻他这些物件，带将来的。”老王听说，又喜又忧。喜的是得胜而回，忧的是那妖日后报仇。行者道：“殿下放心，我已虑之熟，处之当矣。一定与你扫除尽绝，方才起行，决不至贻害于后。我午间去时，撞见一个青脸红毛的小妖送请书，我看他帖子上写着‘明辰敬治肴酌庆钉钯嘉会，屈尊车从过山一叙。幸勿外，至感！右启祖翁九灵元圣老大人尊前。’名字是‘门下孙黄狮顿首百拜’。才子那妖精败阵，必然向他祖翁处去会话。明辰断然寻我们报仇，当情与你扫荡干净。”老王称谢了，摆上晚斋。师徒们斋毕，各归寝处不题。
诗句
此时城门尚开，人家未睡，老王父子与唐僧俱在暴纱亭盼望。
只见他们扑哩扑剌的丢下一院子死兽、猪羊及细软物件，一齐叫道：“师父，我们已得胜回来也！”
那殿下喏喏相谢，唐长老满心欢喜，三个小王子跪拜于地，沙僧搀起道：“且莫谢，都近前看看那物件。”
王子道：“此物俱是何来？”行者笑道：“那虎狼彪豹，马鹿山羊，都是成精的妖怪。被我们取了兵器，打出门来。那老妖是个金毛狮子，他使一柄四明铲，与我等战到天晚，败阵逃生，往东南上走了。我等不曾赶他，却扫除他归路，打杀这些群妖，搜寻他这些物件，带将来的。”
老王听说，又喜又忧。喜的是得胜而回，忧的是那妖日后报仇。
行者道：“殿下放心，我已虑之熟，处之当矣。一定与你扫除尽绝，方才起行，决不至贻害于后。我午间去时，撞见一个青脸红毛的小妖送请书，我看他帖子上写着‘明辰敬治肴酌庆钉钯嘉会，屈尊车从过山一叙。幸勿外，至感！右启祖翁九灵元圣老大人尊前。’名字是‘门下孙黄狮顿首百拜’。才子那妖精败阵，必然向他祖翁处去会话。明辰断然寻我们报仇，当情与你扫荡干净。”老王称谢了，摆上晚斋。师徒们斋毕，各归寝处不题。
译文
此时城门仍然敞开，人们还未入睡。老王父子和唐僧都在暴纱亭等候消息。他们看见他们扔下一院子死兽、猪羊和一些细软物品。他们兴奋地喊道：“师父，我们已经胜利归来了！”那些国王的儿子们向唐僧磕头感谢，唐长老非常高兴，三个小王子跪着向唐僧和孙悟空致敬，沙和尚扶着他们说道：“不要谢了，大家都过来看看这些宝贝。”王子们问道：“这些东西是从哪里来的呢？”孙悟空笑道：“那些凶猛的野兽和狡猾的妖怪都是变成精的妖怪。我们用兵器打败他们，然后逃出去。那个老妖精是一个金毛狮子，他用一把四明铲与我们战斗到最后。他在晚上失败了并逃走了，朝东南方向逃跑。我们没有追赶他，而是清理了他的回家之路，杀死了所有群妖，搜查了他的东西，带回来了。”老王听到这些，既高兴又担心。他很高兴他们能取得胜利，但也很担忧那个妖怪日后会复仇。孙悟空说：“殿下不必担心，我已经考虑过了，处理得很好。我会确保你彻底清除这些祸患，然后我们才能启程，绝不给未来留下任何麻烦。我在中午的时候遇到一个脸色红润、毛色灰白的小妖怪送来一封请柬。那封信上写着‘明天敬备美食佳肴庆祝钉钯宴会，恳请您驾临共聚一堂。请勿远走，期待您的光临！右致敬祖翁九灵元圣大人。’署名是‘门下孙黄狮顿首百拜’。那妖怪战败后必然去找他的长辈求援。明天我们一定去寻仇，一定要把那些祸患完全清除。”老王感谢了他，摆上了晚餐。师徒们吃完饭，各自回房去了。
