話說小悟禪一晃腦袋,來到慈雲觀,堵著山門一罵,說:「趁早叫赤發靈官邵華風雜毛老道滾出來,就說有靈隱寺濟顛僧和尚老爺來也!」把門老道這才進去回稟,趙永明、董雲清二人出來和尚沒有了。小悟禪並沒走,先到慈雲觀里暗中一看,見金毛海馬孫得亮四個人正綁著,義俠太保劉勇看著。
话说小悟禅一晃脑袋,来到慈云观,堵着山门一骂,说:「趁早叫赤发灵官邵华风杂毛老道滚出来,就说有灵隐寺济颠僧和尚老爷来也!」把门老道这才进去回禀,赵永明、董云清二人出来和尚没有了。小悟禅并没走,先到慈云观里暗中一看,见金毛海马孙得亮四个人正绑着,义侠太保刘勇看着。
Now, Little Wuchan gave his head a shake and arrived at Ciyun Temple. He planted himself in front of the temple gate and cursed: “Tell that shaggy-haired old Daoist Shao Huafeng, the Red-Haired Divine Officer, to come rolling out here this minute! Tell him His Lordship the Monk, Crazy Ji of Lingyin Temple, has come!” Only then did the Daoist keeping the gate go in to report, and when Zhao Yongming and Dong Yunqing came out, the monk was gone. But Little Wuchan had not left at all. He had first slipped into Ciyun Temple to take a secret look, and seen the Golden-Haired Sea Horse, Sun Deliang, and the other three men tied up, with Liu Yong, the Chivalrous Grand Guardian, watching over them.
小悟禪知道這四個人是濟公打發來的,小悟禪下去,一口氣把義俠太保劉勇噴躺下。把四個人放開,叫四個人閉上眼,悟禪把四位英雄帶在江岸。孫得亮說:「聖僧你老人家不來,我等性命休矣!」悟禪說:「我不是濟顛,我是濟顛徒弟,我叫悟禪。你們四個人趕緊回常州府罷,我師父還在常州府呢,你們四個人焉能是這些妖人的對手,豈不是白送殘生?這個事都有我呢!」
小悟禅知道这四个人是济公打发来的,小悟禅下去,一口气把义侠太保刘勇喷躺下。把四个人放开,叫四个人闭上眼,悟禅把四位英雄带在江岸。孙得亮说:「圣僧你老人家不来,我等性命休矣!」悟禅说:「我不是济颠,我是济颠徒弟,我叫悟禅。你们四个人赶紧回常州府罢,我师父还在常州府呢,你们四个人焉能是这些妖人的对手,岂不是白送残生?这个事都有我呢!」
Little Wuchan knew these four had been sent by Ji Gong. He went down, and with a single breath he blew Liu Yong, the Chivalrous Grand Guardian, flat on his back. He untied the four men, told them to shut their eyes, and carried the four heroes off to the riverbank. “Holy monk,” said Sun Deliang, “if you hadn’t come, sir, our lives would have been finished!” “I’m not Crazy Ji,” said Wuchan. “I’m Crazy Ji’s disciple. My name is Wuchan. You four hurry back to Changzhou Prefecture; my Master’s still there. How could you four ever be a match for these sorcerers? You’d only be throwing away what’s left of your lives. Leave this business to me!”
說罷,復發一晃腦袋,復又回來,趙永明、董雲清出來沒找著和尚,剛要回去,悟禪在後面一聲喊嚷:「和尚老爺沒走,雜毛老道你回來!」趙永明、董雲清一回頭一瞧,原來是一個窮和尚,頭上有黑氣,必是妖人。兩個老道俱並不放在心上,說:「好妖僧,真乃大膽!竟敢這樣猖狂,待我山人來拿你。」悟禪說:「你就是赤發靈官邵華風么?」趙永明說:「你要問山人,我乃乾法真人趙永明是也。拿你這無名的小輩,何用我家祖師爺。」董雲清也道了名姓,兩個老道各擺寶劍,往前夠奔。悟禪一張嘴,一口黑氣,把兩老道,俱將噴倒在地。早有人看見,把兩個老道搭著往裡走,回稟赤發靈官邵華風。五殿真人一看,說:「這是怎么了?」左門真人說:「被那個窮和尚給噴倒了。」邵華風一聽,口念「無量佛」,說:「好孽畜,真乃大膽!待我親身去拿他。」這句話尚未說完,只見甲馬兵庫火著起來了。原來邵華風這廟裡有兩座庫,一名甲馬兵庫,乃是老道煉成的紙人、紙馬、紙刀槍,用符咒煉成的,靜等造反的時節,老道用咒一催,能夠天昏地暗,日色無光,十萬紙人馬能夠殺人。還有一座陰兵庫,是他派人收來的不該死的陰魂。前者七星道人劉元素,在小月屯害了好幾十個人,還有前殿真人長樂天,後殿真人李樂山、同左殿真人鄭華川、右殿真人李華山,這五個老道收來的五百陰魂,收在一個火葫蘆之內,有符貼著。要用時節,就把葫蘆口一拔,咒語一催,能夠天昏地暗,陰風慘慘,鬼哭神號,是一座陰魂陣。他這兩個庫,是對面有一個老道叫赤發真人陸猛看守。小悟禪今天把董雲清、趙永明噴倒,有人往裡搭,小悟禪隨著進來,見有一個紫臉紅頭髮的老道,看著這兩座庫。
说罢,复发一晃脑袋,复又回来,赵永明、董云清出来没找着和尚,刚要回去,悟禅在后面一声喊嚷:「和尚老爷没走,杂毛老道你回来!」赵永明、董云清一回头一瞧,原来是一个穷和尚,头上有黑气,必是妖人。两个老道俱并不放在心上,说:「好妖僧,真乃大胆!竟敢这样猖狂,待我山人来拿你。」悟禅说:「你就是赤发灵官邵华风幺?」赵永明说:「你要问山人,我乃干法真人赵永明是也。拿你这无名的小辈,何用我家祖师爷。」董云清也道了名姓,两个老道各摆宝剑,往前够奔。悟禅一张嘴,一口黑气,把两老道,俱将喷倒在地。早有人看见,把两个老道搭着往里走,回禀赤发灵官邵华风。五殿真人一看,说:「这是怎么了?」左门真人说:「被那个穷和尚给喷倒了。」邵华风一听,口念「无量佛」,说:「好孽畜,真乃大胆!待我亲身去拿他。」这句话尚未说完,只见甲马兵库火着起来了。原来邵华风这庙里有两座库,一名甲马兵库,乃是老道炼成的纸人、纸马、纸刀枪,用符咒炼成的,静等造反的时节,老道用咒一催,能够天昏地暗,日色无光,十万纸人马能够杀人。还有一座阴兵库,是他派人收来的不该死的阴魂。前者七星道人刘元素,在小月屯害了好几十个人,还有前殿真人长乐天,后殿真人李乐山、同左殿真人郑华川、右殿真人李华山,这五个老道收来的五百阴魂,收在一个火葫芦之内,有符贴着。要用时节,就把葫芦口一拔,咒语一催,能够天昏地暗,阴风惨惨,鬼哭神号,是一座阴魂阵。他这两个库,是对面有一个老道叫赤发真人陆猛看守。小悟禅今天把董云清、赵永明喷倒,有人往里搭,小悟禅随着进来,见有一个紫脸红头发的老道,看着这两座库。
With that he gave his head another shake and came back again. Zhao Yongming and Dong Yunqing had come out and found no monk, and they were just about to go back in when Wuchan shouted behind them: “His Lordship the Monk hasn’t gone! Come back here, you shaggy-haired old Daoists!” Zhao Yongming and Dong Yunqing turned their heads to look. It was a ragged monk with a black vapor over his head: he must be a demon in human shape. Neither Daoist thought anything of him. “Wicked demon monk, what nerve!” they said. “How dare you run so wild! This mountain man will take you.” “Are you Shao Huafeng, the Red-Haired Divine Officer?” said Wuchan. “Since you ask about this mountain man,” said Zhao Yongming, “I am Zhao Yongming, the Perfected One Qianfa. Why would our Patriarch be needed to take a nameless nobody like you?” Dong Yunqing gave his name too, and the two Daoists, each brandishing a sword, rushed forward. Wuchan opened his mouth and blew out a breath of black vapor, and both Daoists went down on the ground. Someone had already seen it. They carried the two Daoists inside and reported to Shao Huafeng, the Red-Haired Divine Officer. The Perfected One of the Fifth Hall looked at them and said, “What’s happened to them?” “The ragged monk blew them down,” said the Perfected One of the Left Gate. When Shao Huafeng heard this, he chanted “Limitless Buddha” and said, “Vile beast, what nerve! I’ll go and take him myself.” Before the words were out of his mouth, they saw the Armored Horse Arsenal go up in flames. Now, Shao Huafeng’s temple had two arsenals. One was called the Armored Horse Arsenal. It held paper men, paper horses, paper swords and spears that the old Daoist had made and worked on with charms and spells. They were waiting for the day of the rebellion: then the old Daoist would rouse them with a spell, heaven would go dark and earth black, the sun would lose its light, and a hundred thousand paper men and horses would be able to kill. The other was the Ghost-Soldier Arsenal, which held souls not fated to die, gathered by men he had sent out. Some time before, Liu Yuansu, the Daoist of the Seven Stars, had killed dozens of people at Xiaoyue Village; and he and Chang Letian, the Perfected One of the Front Hall, Li Leshan, the Perfected One of the Rear Hall, Zheng Huachuan, the Perfected One of the Left Hall, and Li Huashan, the Perfected One of the Right Hall — these five Daoists had gathered five hundred ghostly souls and shut them up in a fire gourd sealed with a talisman. When the time came to use them, he had only to pull the stopper from the gourd and rouse them with a spell, and heaven would go dark and earth black, a grim ghostly wind would blow, ghosts would wail and gods would howl: it was a Ghost-Soul Formation. Across from these two arsenals, an old Daoist called Lu Meng, the Red-Haired Perfected One (Chifa Zhenren), stood guard over them. Today, when Little Wuchan blew down Dong Yunqing and Zhao Yongming and they were carried inside, Little Wuchan followed them in, and he saw an old Daoist with a purple face and red hair watching the two arsenals.
