話說濟公在地下數錢，六個化小緣的和尚趕到。大眾說：「好和尚，你把我們六個人的錢都拐了來，你還在這裡數錢？」說著話，這六個和尚過來就是一拳。濟公說：「咱們一個對一個的打。」六個和尚圍著濟公動手，誰要打濟公一拳，濟公必還一拳，六個人都不能多占便宜。正在動手之際，只見正北來了兩匹坐騎，騎馬的正是王全、李福。老員外見李修緣的馬驚下來，趕緊派家人追趕。兩位管家正在尋找，見李公子又穿上了破僧衣，跟眾和尚打起來了，王全趕緊下馬說：「別打別打。」眾窮和尚說：「你別管，他把我們的錢誆了去。」王全說：「你們別胡說了，還不滾開，這是我家公子爺。」眾和尚一聽，就不敢動手了。王全說：「你們真要造反了？還不拿了錢走嗎？」眾和尚一聽，每人拿了二百錢，諾諾而退。王全說：「公子爺你上哪去了？」濟公說：「我跟他們上董家莊化緣去了，領了一個饅頭二百錢。」王全說：「唉！公子爺，你也不怕人家恥笑，那不是外人家，董員外跟咱們還是親戚呢？你的馬呢？」和尚說：「那邊樹上拴著呢。」王全說：「我們方才怎么沒有瞧見？」和尚用手一指說：「那不是。」王全、李福一回頭，果然馬在樹上拴著，這才一同來到樹林，把馬解下來。濟公翻身上馬，同家人回來。

Now, Ji Gong was sitting on the ground counting money when the six monks who begged small alms came running up. “Fine monk you are!” they all said. “You make off with the money for all six of us, and here you sit counting it?” As they spoke, the six monks came at him with their fists. “Let’s fight one against one,” said Ji Gong. The six monks surrounded Ji Gong and set about him, but whoever landed a punch on Ji Gong, Ji Gong was sure to land one back, and not one of the six got the better of him. In the thick of the fight, two riders came from due north: Wang Quan and Li Fu. When the old squire saw Li Xiuyuan’s horse bolt, he had promptly sent men after it. The two of them were still searching when they saw Young Master Li back in his ragged monk’s robe, fighting a crowd of monks. Wang Quan hurried down from his horse. “Stop, stop!” he said. “Keep out of this,” said the poor monks. “He’s swindled us out of our money.” “Stop talking nonsense,” said Wang Quan, “and clear off. This is our young master.” When the monks heard that, they dared not raise a hand. “Do you really mean to riot?” said Wang Quan. “Take your money and go!” At that, each monk took two hundred cash and backed away, all meek obedience. “Young Master,” said Wang Quan, “where did you go?” “I went with them to Dong Family Village to beg alms,” said Ji Gong, “and got one steamed bun and two hundred cash.” “Oh, Young Master!” said Wang Quan. “Aren’t you afraid of people laughing at you? That’s no stranger’s house. Squire Dong is a relative of ours! Where’s your horse?” “Tied to a tree over there,” said the monk. “How is it we didn’t see it just now?” said Wang Quan. The monk pointed. “Isn’t that it?” Wang Quan and Li Fu turned their heads, and sure enough, there was the horse tied to a tree. They all went into the wood together and untied it. Ji Gong swung himself into the saddle and went back with the servants.
王員外說：「你上哪去了？」濟公說：「沒上哪去，我化緣去了。」王安士說：「你這孩子是胡鬧，已然要還俗，你還忘不了化緣？從此可不許你再化緣了。」濟公點頭答應。眾人催馬，這才夠奔山坡國清寺來。原本這寺在半山坡里，眾人催馬，剛來到山坡以下，只見國清寺廟門以外，兩邊一對一對和尚，站著班迎接，大約有數十對僧人。王安士一看，只打算廟內方丈知道王員外有錢，要這樣的恭敬。其實不然，當初國清寺的老方丈叫性空長老，現在老方丈圓寂了，是性空長老的徒弟寶悅和尚當家。性空長老乃是一位得道的高僧，臨圓寂之時，把徒弟寶悅叫到跟前，說：「某年某月某日，有知覺羅漢前來降香，必須如此這般，這等這樣。」故此寶悅和尚謹記在心。今天由大殿前往外排班，是五十四對，一百零八位和尚各穿扁衫，手拿手爐手磐。口念：「真佛，迎接知覺羅漢。」
王员外说：「你上哪去了？」济公说：「没上哪去，我化缘去了。」王安士说：「你这孩子是胡闹，已然要还俗，你还忘不了化缘？从此可不许你再化缘了。」济公点头答应。众人催马，这才够奔山坡国清寺来。原本这寺在半山坡里，众人催马，刚来到山坡以下，只见国清寺庙门以外，两边一对一对和尚，站着班迎接，大约有数十对僧人。王安士一看，只打算庙内方丈知道王员外有钱，要这样的恭敬。其实不然，当初国清寺的老方丈叫性空长老，现在老方丈圆寂了，是性空长老的徒弟宝悦和尚当家。性空长老乃是一位得道的高僧，临圆寂之时，把徒弟宝悦叫到跟前，说：「某年某月某日，有知觉罗汉前来降香，必须如此这般，这等这样。」故此宝悦和尚谨记在心。今天由大殿前往外排班，是五十四对，一百零八位和尚各穿扁衫，手拿手炉手磐。口念：「真佛，迎接知觉罗汉。」
“Where did you go?” said Squire Wang. “Nowhere,” said Ji Gong. “I went begging alms.” “You’re just fooling about, child,” said Wang Anshi. “You’re about to return to lay life, and you still can’t forget your alms-begging? From now on you’re not to beg alms again.” Ji Gong nodded and agreed. They urged their horses on and made for Guoqing Temple on the mountainside. The temple stood halfway up the slope. They urged their horses on, and had only just reached the foot of the slope when they saw, outside the gate of Guoqing Temple, monks standing pair by pair in ranks on either side to welcome them, some tens of pairs in all. Wang Anshi, seeing it, simply took it that the abbot knew Squire Wang was rich and was showing him this much respect. Not so. The old abbot of Guoqing Temple had been Abbot Xingkong. Now the old abbot had passed into nirvana, and Xingkong’s disciple, the monk Baoyue, was in charge. Abbot Xingkong had been an eminent monk who had attained the Way. When he was about to pass away, he called his disciple Baoyue to his side and said, “In such a year, on such a day of such a month, the Arhat Zhijue will come to offer incense. You must do thus and so, so and thus.” So the monk Baoyue had kept it carefully in mind. Today, from the front of the main hall outward, fifty-four pairs stood in ranks: a hundred and eight monks, each in a monk’s robe, holding hand censers and hand chimes, and chanting, “True Buddha! We welcome the Arhat Zhijue.”
王安士哪裡知道其中的細情？眾人來到廟前下馬，濟公說：「這些個禿葫蘆頭。」大眾和尚心裡說：「這個和尚真討人嫌，他說我們是禿葫蘆頭，他也是和尚。」眾僧都是凡夫俗子，也不知道濟公的來歷。王員外眾人一進廟，寶悅和尚迎接出來，見了濟公打問訊，濟公也答禮相還，老員外並不解其意。寶悅說：「老員外來了。」王安士說：「方丈怎么稱呼？」和尚說：「我叫寶悅。」書的節目，是修緣公子朝寶悅，知覺羅漢會崑崙。王安士今天來到國清寺，先施捨眾僧人每人一件僧袍，每人一雙僧鞋，每人給錢兩吊。方丈請老員外在禪堂待茶，王安士說：「我今天特意給我外甥李修緣跳牆還俗，求老方丈慈悲慈悲罷。」寶悅和尚點頭，吩咐外面預備，眾人來到大殿以前燒上香，在大殿前擱著一條板凳，就算是牆。寶悅和尚說：「老員外，你外甥跳牆，我得打他一百禪杖，趕出廟去。」王安士一聽，說：「我外甥懦弱的身體，要打一百禪杖，他如何受的了？」寶悅和尚說：「不用真拿大禪杖，就拿一百根筷子以代禪杖，打一下算十下。」老員外說：「這就是了。」寶悅和尚說：「修緣，我打過了你，你跳過板凳，跑出廟門就算完了。」濟公點頭，寶悅拿起筷子一比，打一下，說：「啊，
初一不燒香，十五不禮拜。前殿不打掃，後殿堆土塊。終朝飲美酒，狗肉隨身帶。出家亦無緣，送你還侯寨。脫下織綴來，趕出山門外。」
說完了，叫李修緣跳牆，濟公跳過板凳，撒腿就往山門跑。王安士說：「別跑。」這句話未說完，就聽李修緣嚷：「我收不住腳了。」
王安士哪里知道其中的细情？众人来到庙前下马，济公说：「这些个秃葫芦头。」大众和尚心里说：「这个和尚真讨人嫌，他说我们是秃葫芦头，他也是和尚。」众僧都是凡夫俗子，也不知道济公的来历。王员外众人一进庙，宝悦和尚迎接出来，见了济公打问讯，济公也答礼相还，老员外并不解其意。宝悦说：「老员外来了。」王安士说：「方丈怎么称呼？」和尚说：「我叫宝悦。」书的节目，是修缘公子朝宝悦，知觉罗汉会昆仑。王安士今天来到国清寺，先施舍众僧人每人一件僧袍，每人一双僧鞋，每人给钱两吊。方丈请老员外在禅堂待茶，王安士说：「我今天特意给我外甥李修缘跳墙还俗，求老方丈慈悲慈悲罢。」宝悦和尚点头，吩咐外面预备，众人来到大殿以前烧上香，在大殿前搁着一条板凳，就算是墙。宝悦和尚说：「老员外，你外甥跳墙，我得打他一百禅杖，赶出庙去。」王安士一听，说：「我外甥懦弱的身体，要打一百禅杖，他如何受的了？」宝悦和尚说：「不用真拿大禅杖，就拿一百根筷子以代禅杖，打一下算十下。」老员外说：「这就是了。」宝悦和尚说：「修缘，我打过了你，你跳过板凳，跑出庙门就算完了。」济公点头，宝悦拿起筷子一比，打一下，说：「啊，
初一不烧香，十五不礼拜。前殿不打扫，后殿堆土块。终朝饮美酒，狗肉随身带。出家亦无缘，送你还侯寨。脱下织缀来，赶出山门外。」
说完了，叫李修缘跳墙，济公跳过板凳，撒腿就往山门跑。王安士说：「别跑。」这句话未说完，就听李修缘嚷：「我收不住脚了。」
How could Wang Anshi know what lay behind it? They all came to the front of the temple and dismounted. “What a lot of bald gourd-heads,” said Ji Gong. The monks thought to themselves, “What an obnoxious monk. He calls us bald gourd-heads, and he’s a monk himself!” The monks were all ordinary mortals and had no idea who Ji Gong really was. When Squire Wang and his party entered the temple, the monk Baoyue came out to meet them. He saw Ji Gong and greeted him with palms joined, and Ji Gong returned the courtesy; the old squire could not make out what it meant. “The old squire has come,” said Baoyue. “And how should I address the abbot?” said Wang Anshi. “I am called Baoyue,” said the monk. This is the part of the story called ‘Young Master Xiuyuan calls on Baoyue; the Arhat Zhijue meets Kunlun’. Coming to Guoqing Temple that day, Wang Anshi first gave every monk a monk’s robe, a pair of monk’s shoes and two strings of cash. The abbot invited the old squire to take tea in the meditation hall. “I have come today,” said Wang Anshi, “expressly to have my nephew Li Xiuyuan jump the wall and return to lay life. I beg you, Abbot, be merciful.” The monk Baoyue nodded and had things made ready outside. They all came before the main hall and burned incense. A bench was set down in front of the main hall, and that counted as the wall. “Old Squire,” said the monk Baoyue, “when your nephew jumps the wall, I must give him a hundred blows of the Chan staff and drive him out of the temple.” When Wang Anshi heard this, he said, “My nephew is delicate. A hundred blows of the Chan staff? How could he bear it?” “There’s no need to use the real staff,” said the monk Baoyue. “We’ll take a hundred chopsticks in place of the staff, and one stroke will count for ten.” “That will do,” said the old squire. “Xiuyuan,” said the monk Baoyue, “once I have beaten you, jump over the bench and run out of the temple gate, and that will be that.” Ji Gong nodded. Baoyue picked up the chopsticks, made a pass with them, struck him once and said, “Ah,
On the first no incense burned,on the fifteenth no prayers to say;The front hall never swept,the back hall heaped with lumps of clay;Fine wine from dawn to dusk,and dog meat with you all the day;Not fated for the cloister:home to your noble house, away!Off with that patched gown of yours,and out the mountain gate today!”
When he had finished, he told Li Xiuyuan to jump the wall. Ji Gong jumped the bench and took to his heels for the mountain gate. “Don’t run!” said Wang Anshi. The words were not out of his mouth when they heard Li Xiuyuan shout, “I can’t stop my feet!”
