話說七星道人劉元素一念咒，走石飛沙，直奔官兵隊而來。官兵全都不能睜眼，大家齊聲喊嚷：「濟公快來！」和尚用手一指，口念六字真言：「唵嘛呢叭迷吽！唵，敕令赫！」立刻就風定塵息。七星道人一見窮和尚，嚇得撥頭就往回跑。八卦真人謝天機一聲「無量佛」，說：「賢弟你閃在一旁，待我拿他。」伸手拉出寶劍，往前趕奔，說：「來者你就是濟顛么？」和尚說：「然也，正是。」謝天機說：「你可知道你家祖師爺的利害么？你要知事達務，趁此過來跪倒，給我磕頭，叫我三聲祖師爺，山人有一分好生之德，饒爾不死。如要不然，當時我要結果你的性命。」和尚說：「好雜毛老道，你給我磕頭，叫和尚老爺三聲祖宗，我也不能饒你。」
话说七星道人刘元素一念咒，走石飞沙，直奔官兵队而来。官兵全都不能睁眼，大家齐声喊嚷：「济公快来！」和尚用手一指，口念六字真言：「唵嘛呢叭迷吽！唵，敕令赫！」立刻就风定尘息。七星道人一见穷和尚，吓得拨头就往回跑。八卦真人谢天机一声「无量佛」，说：「贤弟你闪在一旁，待我拿他。」伸手拉出宝剑，往前赶奔，说：「来者你就是济颠幺？」和尚说：「然也，正是。」谢天机说：「你可知道你家祖师爷的利害幺？你要知事达务，趁此过来跪倒，给我磕头，叫我三声祖师爷，山人有一分好生之德，饶尔不死。如要不然，当时我要结果你的性命。」和尚说：「好杂毛老道，你给我磕头，叫和尚老爷三声祖宗，我也不能饶你。」
Now, Liu Yuansu, the Daoist of the Seven Stars, recited a spell, and stones flew and sand whirled straight at the government troops. None of the soldiers could open their eyes. “Ji Gong, come quick!” they all shouted together. The monk pointed with his hand and chanted the six-syllable mantra: “Om mani padme hum! Om! By command — he!” At once the wind dropped and the dust settled. When the Daoist of the Seven Stars saw the ragged monk, he took fright, turned tail and ran back. Xie Tianji, the Perfected One of the Eight Trigrams, said “Limitless Buddha!” and then, “Stand aside, worthy brother, and let me take him.” He drew his sword and hurried forward. “You there,” he said, “are you Crazy Ji?” “Just so, the very same,” said the monk. “Do you know how formidable your Patriarch here is?” said Xie Tianji. “If you know what’s good for you, come over here this minute, kneel down, kowtow to me and call me Patriarch three times. This man of the mountains has a heart that loves life, and I’ll spare you. If not, I’ll finish you off on the spot.” “You shaggy-haired old Daoist,” said the monk, “even if you kowtowed to me and called His Lordship the Monk your ancestor three times, I still wouldn’t spare you.”
八卦真人謝天機看和尚是一個凡夫俗子，他哪裡瞧得起他？焉知道和尚早把佛光、靈光、金光閉住。老道舉寶劍過來，照和尚劈頭就剁，和尚滴溜一閃身躲開，伸手掏老道一把，老道一劍跟著一劍，也砍不著和尚。和尚掏一把，擰一把，擰一把，掏一把。老道真急了，立刻口中念念有詞，由平地起了一陣怪風，從空中來了許多毒蛇怪蟒，兔鹿狐獾。無數的野獸，直奔官兵隊，張牙舞爪咬官兵，嚇的官兵紛紛倒退。和尚用手一指，口念：「唵嘛呢叭迷吽！唵，敕令赫！」

Xie Tianji, the Perfected One of the Eight Trigrams, saw that the monk was just an ordinary mortal, so how could he think anything of him? How was he to know that the monk had long since shut away his Buddha light, inner light and golden light? The old Daoist came at him with his sword raised and chopped straight down at the monk’s head. Quick as a spinning top, the monk dodged aside, then reached out and gave the old Daoist a poke. The old Daoist struck again and again, one cut after another, and still could not touch the monk. The monk poked him here and pinched him there, pinched him there and poked him here. The old Daoist grew really desperate. At once he muttered a spell, and from the level ground a strange wind arose. Out of the sky came swarms of venomous snakes and monstrous serpents, hares and deer, foxes and badgers. Countless wild beasts rushed straight at the troops, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws and biting the soldiers, who fell back in terror one after another. The monk pointed with his hand and chanted: “Om mani padme hum! Om! By command — he!”
立刻現了一道黃光，這些東西都現了原形，全是紙的，墜落於地。八卦真人一看事情不好，連忙跑回去說：「祖師爺，我等法力太小，敵不了和尚。請祖師爺大施佛法，去把和尚拿住。」邵華風一見了得，連聲喊嚷，立刻一擺寶劍，趕奔上前說：「好濟顛，我山人跟你遠日無冤，近日無讎，你無故跟我作對。今天祖師爺將你拿住，碎屍萬段，方出胸中惡氣。」和尚說：「好孽畜，你就是赤發靈官邵華風么？」老道說：「正是你家祖師爺。」和尚說：「我正要拿你，你既是出家人，就應當奉公守分，跳出三界外，不在五行中，一塵不染，萬慮皆空，掃地不傷螻蟻命，愛惜飛蛾紗罩燈，老道應當戒去貪嗔痴愛罪。你無故妖言惑眾，殺害生靈，招聚綠林江洋大盜，發賣薰香蒙汗藥，貽害四方，使人各處拍花，敗壞良家婦女，拆散一家骨肉分離，上招天怒，下招人怨，天作孽，猶可違，自作孽，不可活。我和尚並不願多管閒事，無奈你實屬罪大惡極，我和尚誅惡即是善念。今天該當你惡貫滿盈，你還執迷不悟，還欲抗衡？」老道一聽，氣得三屍神暴跳，五靈豪氣騰空，擺寶劍照定和尚劈頭就剁。和尚閃身躲開，走了三五個照面，和尚身體靈便，老道砍不著。真急了，身子往旁一閃，說：「好顛僧，氣死我也！待山人用寶貝取你。」和尚說：「你把你的寶貝掏出來，我瞧瞧。」

At once a streak of yellow light appeared, and all these creatures showed their true form: every one of them was made of paper, and they dropped to the ground. Seeing that things had gone wrong, Xie Tianji, the Perfected One of the Eight Trigrams, hurried back. “Patriarch,” he said, “our magic powers are too small; we’re no match for the monk. We beg you, Patriarch, to work your great magic and go and capture him.” Shao Huafeng saw how serious this was. He shouted again and again, and at once flourished his sword and rushed forward. “Crazy Ji, you villain!” he said. “This man of the mountains has no old quarrel with you and no new feud, yet you set yourself against me for no reason. Today your Patriarch here will take you and hack your body into ten thousand pieces, and only then will the rage in my breast be eased.” “You wicked beast,” said the monk, “are you Shao Huafeng, the Red-Haired Divine Officer?” “Your Patriarch, the very same,” said the old Daoist. “You’re just the man I want to catch,” said the monk. “Since you have left the household life, you ought to keep the law and your proper station, leap out beyond the Three Realms and stand outside the Five Elements, untouched by a speck of dust, every care emptied away: sweep the floor without harming an ant, and shade the lamp with gauze for pity of the moths. A Daoist ought to give up the sins of greed, anger, delusion and craving. But you, for no reason, lead people astray with wicked talk and slaughter living beings. You gather outlaws of the rivers and seas from the greenwood, you sell stupefying incense and knockout drugs and bring ruin on every quarter, you send men everywhere to drug and kidnap, you defile the wives and daughters of decent families, and you tear families apart and scatter their flesh and blood. Above, you call down the wrath of Heaven; below, you call down the hatred of men. ‘Calamities sent by Heaven may yet be escaped; calamities you bring on yourself you will not live through.’ This monk has no wish to meddle in other people’s business, but your crimes are truly monstrous, and for this monk to destroy the wicked is itself a good intention. Today your evil has reached its full measure, and still you cling to your delusions and won’t wake up. Do you still mean to fight me?” When the old Daoist heard this, he was so furious that the Three Corpse Spirits within him leapt in rage and the bold breath of his five spirits shot up to the sky. He swung his sword and chopped straight down at the monk’s head. The monk dodged aside. They traded blows three or five times; the monk was nimble, and the old Daoist could not touch him. He grew really desperate and sprang aside. “Crazy Ji, you villain, you’ll be the death of me with rage!” he said. “This man of the mountains will take you with a treasure.” “Take out your treasure, then,” said the monk, “and let me have a look.”
