A dark cloud rushes at me, startling the gods and ghosts. Zhu Bajie panicked and said, 'Brother, only say the scriptures are easy to obtain; on the Western road, even insects bully people!' The Monkey King replied, 'Brother, don’t be afraid, quickly go up and fight!' Zhu Bajie said, 'They’re buzzing all over, thick as ten layers; how can I fight?'"

The relevant text is as follows:

"The Monkey King went to untie the bundle and saw a few coarse pancakes in the middle, which he handed to his master. He also saw a bright, fine cotton robe and a golden-embroidered hat. The Monkey King said, 'Is this clothing and hat from the East?'

Tang Seng casually replied, 'It’s what I wore when I was young. If you wear this hoop, you’ll recite scriptures without being taught; if you wear this robe, you’ll perform rites without being instructed.'"
