話說小崑崙郭順聽和尚說話不通情理，自己有心要翻臉。後又一想，是非只因多開口，煩惱皆因強出頭，我何必跟他為仇做對？想罷，這才說：「和尚，你不必跟我動怒，山人我解勸你為好。再說這廟中方丈乃是凡夫俗子，你何必欺負他？你要找和尚，總找那找得的，和尚你又怕不敢找。」黑臉和尚說：「哪個我不敢找，你只管說！」郭順一想，現在濟公大概回了廟，我叫他去找濟公，濟公必把他治了，叫他碰個釘子，省得他大肆橫行。想罷說：「和尚，你敢到西湖靈隱寺去找濟顛么？」黑臉和尚哈哈一笑說：「你既說叫我找濟顛和尚，那容易。」說著立刻一點首說：「來。」只見由外面又進來一個黑臉和尚，也不知道是哪來得這樣快。這和尚進來一聲喊嚷說：「我乃千載長修是也。」說著話，來到大殿以前，說：「師父差我哪旁使用？」萬年永壽說：「徒弟，我派你到西湖靈隱寺把濟顛給我拿來。」這千載長修和尚一聲答應，說：「遵法旨。」立刻嗞溜一晃腦袋沒了。少時來到靈隱寺門首，邁步就往裡走。兩個門頭僧說：「找誰？」黑臉和尚說：「我乃千載長修是也。」門頭僧還要攔阻，黑臉和尚用手一指說：「打。」門頭僧身不由己，自己就打嘴巴，往裡就跑。千載長修也是來到大雄寶殿，往供桌上一坐，門頭僧嚇得到裡面去回稟廣亮。廣亮一聽膽子小，不敢出來，趕緊回稟老和尚元空長老。廣亮先跪倒行禮說：「回稟老方丈，外面來了一個黑臉和尚，口稱叫千載長修，把門頭僧打了，他上了大殿的供桌。」

Now, when Little Kunlun, Guo Shun, heard how unreasonably the monk talked, he had half a mind to turn on him. Then he thought again: “Trouble comes from opening your mouth too often; grief comes from pushing yourself forward. Why should I make an enemy of him?” With that he said, “Monk, there’s no need to lose your temper with me. This man of the mountains is only advising you for your own good. Besides, the abbot of this temple is an ordinary mortal. Why bully him? If you want to pick on a monk, pick on one worth picking on — but that monk, I’m afraid, you wouldn’t dare take on.” “Who wouldn’t I dare take on?” said the black-faced monk. “Just name him!” Guo Shun thought, “By now Ji Gong has probably gone back to his temple. I’ll send this fellow after Ji Gong. Ji Gong is sure to deal with him and make him come a cropper, and that will stop him running so wild.” With that he said, “Monk, do you dare go to Lingyin Temple on West Lake and take on Crazy Ji?” The black-faced monk gave a loud laugh. “If it’s the monk Crazy Ji you want me to go after, that’s easy.” As he spoke he gave a nod and said, “Come.” At once another black-faced monk came in from outside; there was no telling where he had come from so fast. As he came in, this monk shouted, “I am Qianzai Changxiu!” Still speaking, he came up before the Main Hall and said, “Master, where are you sending me?” “Disciple,” said Wannian Yongshou, “I’m sending you to Lingyin Temple on West Lake to seize Crazy Ji and bring him to me.” Qianzai Changxiu answered with a shout: “I obey your holy command.” At once — zip! — he gave his head a shake and was gone. Shortly he came to the gate of Lingyin Temple and strode straight in. “Who are you looking for?” said the two gate monks. “I am Qianzai Changxiu,” said the black-faced monk. The gate monks still meant to stop him, but the black-faced monk pointed a finger at them and said, “Hit!” The gate monks could not help themselves: they slapped their own faces and ran inside. Qianzai Changxiu, too, went to the Main Hall and sat himself down on the altar table. The gate monks, terrified, went in to report to Guangliang. When Guangliang heard it, he was too timid to come out, and he hurried off to report to the old monk, Abbot Yuankong. Guangliang first knelt and bowed, and said, “Venerable Abbot, a black-faced monk has turned up outside who calls himself Qianzai Changxiu. He beat the gate monks, and he’s gone up onto the altar table in the Main Hall.”
老方丈乃是九世比邱，說：「好孽畜大膽，無故前來攪鬧佛門善地。你去叫道濟的徒弟悟真去拿他。」廣亮立刻找孫道全把這件事一說，孫道全說：「我去。」這才立刻來到前面大雄寶殿一看，果然是一個黑臉和尚在供桌上坐著，頭上有一股黑氣。孫道全一看趕奔上前，舉寶劍照定和尚脖頸就是一劍。和尚就閉著眼，沒留神這劍真砍上了，砍的這黑和尚一伸脖子，一道白印。孫道全說：「好孽畜，無故前來攪鬧佛門淨地，還不退去！」黑臉和尚張嘴照定孫道全噴出一口黑氣，孫道全趕緊念護身咒，撥頭往外就跑，說；「好利害！」話言未了，只聽山門裡一聲喊嚷：「無量佛！」孫道全一看，來者乃是神童子褚道緣，說：「好孽畜大膽，待山人來拿你。」伸手由兜囊掏出八寶裝仙雲光袋，照定妖僧一打，手中掐訣，口中念念有詞，立刻把這黑臉和尚裝到裡面。褚道緣說：「倒出他來瞧瞧，是什麼東西。」往外一倒，眾人一看，現了原形，是一個大駝龍。褚道緣一看，說：「你真把和尚糟蹋苦了。」

The old abbot had been a bhiksu through nine lifetimes. “What a bold wicked beast,” he said, “coming for no reason to make trouble on the good ground of the Buddha’s house! Go and tell Daoji’s disciple Wuzhen to catch him.” Guangliang at once found Sun Daoquan and told him what had happened. “I’ll go,” said Sun Daoquan. He came straight out to the Main Hall at the front and looked: sure enough, a black-faced monk was sitting on the altar table, and above his head hung a plume of black vapour. Sun Daoquan rushed forward, raised his sword and brought it down full on the monk’s neck. The monk had his eyes shut and was not on his guard, and the sword truly struck home — but the black monk only stretched out his neck, and the blade left nothing but a white mark. “You wicked beast!” said Sun Daoquan. “Coming for no reason to make trouble on the pure ground of the Buddha’s house! Get out of here!” The black-faced monk opened his mouth and blew a breath of black vapour straight at Sun Daoquan. Sun Daoquan hastily recited a body-guarding spell, turned and ran out, saying, “That’s a fierce one!” Before the words were out of his mouth, a shout came from inside the temple gate: “Limitless Buddha!” Sun Daoquan looked: it was the Divine Child, Chu Daoyuan, who said, “Bold wicked beast! Wait till this man of the mountains catches you.” He reached into his pouch, took out the Eight-Treasure Cloud-Light Immortal Bag and flung it at the demon monk; his fingers made a magic sign, his lips muttered a spell, and at once the black-faced monk was inside the bag. “Tip him out and let’s see what kind of thing he is,” said Chu Daoyuan. He poured the bag out, and everyone looked: the creature had shown its true form. It was a great alligator dragon. Chu Daoyuan looked at it and said, “You’ve really dragged the name of monk through the mud.”
書中交代：他師父原本也是一個大師，卻為什麼到金山寺去鬧呢？這內中有一段原故。原本這山寺山下，當初沒有這道買賣街。金山寺老方丈想廟裡有三百站堂僧，無所事業，素日淨吃閒飯，日用太大，老方丈拿出銀錢來修蓋房子，賃給人開買賣，所為有燒香進廟人等，也可以作樂。又造了四十隻漁船，賃給打魚的，一天要一兩銀子。在他這山賣魚，得給他廟裡拿魚稅，每月多進錢若干。這個萬年永壽奉龍王之令，在這裡把守江口，有這些打魚的，終日傷了他的子子孫孫不少，故此他一惱，才來到金山寺跟和尚做對。焉想到郭順用話一激他，他這才派他徒弟來到靈隱寺攪鬧，不想被褚道緣用裝仙袋將他拿住，倒出來已然現了原形。褚道緣不忍傷害他，這才說：「孽畜，你無故前來攪鬧，現應將你結果了性命。山人有一分好生之德，饒你這條性命。還不快去。」這駝龍慢慢爬出了山門，好容易駕起風來，竟自去了。他剛走，濟公由外面腳步踉蹌回來了。

A word of explanation: his master, too, was a great one of the same breed. Why, then, had he gone to make trouble at Jinshan Temple? There was a reason behind it. At the foot of the temple’s hill there had at first been no street of shops. The old abbot of Jinshan Temple thought that the temple had three hundred hall monks with nothing to do, who spent their days eating the bread of idleness, and that the daily expenses were too great. So the old abbot put up money to build houses and rent them out to people to open shops, so that those who came to burn incense and visit the temple could amuse themselves as well. He also built forty fishing boats and rented them to fishermen at one tael of silver a day. Anyone who sold fish on his hill had to pay a fish tax to the temple, so that every month a good deal more money came in. Now this Wannian Yongshou had been ordered by the Dragon King to guard the river mouth here, and day after day these fishermen had killed no small number of his children and grandchildren. That was what angered him, and that was why he came to Jinshan Temple to make war on the monks. Little did he expect that Guo Shun would goad him with a few words; that was how he came to send his disciple to make trouble at Lingyin Temple, never imagining that Chu Daoyuan would catch him in the Immortal Bag, so that when he was tipped out he had already shown his true form. Chu Daoyuan could not bear to harm him. “Wicked beast,” he said, “you came here for no reason to make trouble, and by rights your life should be ended. But this man of the mountains has a share of the virtue of cherishing life, and I’ll spare you. Be off with you, quick!” The alligator dragon crawled slowly out through the temple gate, raised a wind with great difficulty, and was gone. No sooner had he left than Ji Gong came stumbling in from outside.
