Now, Chan Master Ji Gong was waiting at the prefecture yamen. One day someone came in to report that four men had arrived outside and were asking to see him.
和尚吩咐讓進來，工夫不大，只見由外面進來了四位英雄。顧國章抬頭一看，頭一位，這人身高七尺以外，細腰扎背，頭上戴銀紅色六瓣壯士巾，上按六個明鏡，迎門一朵素絨球禿禿亂晃，鬢邊斜插一枝守正戒淫花，身穿一件銀紅色箭袖袍，腰系鵝黃絲鸞帶，薄底靴子，閃披一件西湖色英雄大氅，面似淡金，粗眉大眼，準頭端正，頦下無胡，正在英雄少年，這位正是金毛海馬孫得亮。第二位頭戴粉綾緞六瓣壯士冠，上按六顆明鏡，也是插著戒淫花，身穿粉綾緞窄領瘦袖箭袖袍，周身走金線掏金邊，上繡三藍牡丹花，腰系絲鸞帶，套玉環，佩玉珮，單襯襖，薄底靴子，外罩一件粉綾緞英雄大氅，周身繡花團朵朵，面似銀盆，雅如美玉，雙眉帶煞，一雙金眼疊暴，這位是火眼江豬孫得明。第三位翠藍褂，也是壯士打扮，淡黃的臉面，細眉朗目，這個就是水夜叉韓龍。第四位穿青皂褂，身高九尺，正如半截黑塔一般，粗眉環眼，這位就是韓慶。知府一看，這四個人都是一表非俗。和尚說：「四位來了！」這四個人連忙行禮，說：「聖僧久違少見。」和尚說：「四位坐下。」

The monk told them to show the men in, and before long four heroes came in from outside. Gu Guozhang looked up. The first stood a little over seven feet tall, slim at the waist and broad across the back. On his head he wore a six-panel warrior’s cap of silvery red, set with six little bright mirrors, and on its front a pompom of plain velvet bobbed and shook. Stuck slantwise at his temple was a sprig of the Flower of Rectitude and Chastity. He wore a silvery-red robe with archer’s cuffs, a goose-yellow silk sash at his waist and thin-soled boots, and over his shoulders hung a hero’s cloak the blue-green of West Lake. His face was pale gold, with thick brows, big eyes and a well-shaped nose, and his chin was beardless: a hero in the prime of his youth. This was the Golden-Haired Sea Horse, Sun Deliang. The second wore a six-panel warrior’s cap of pink damask satin, set with six bright mirrors, and he too wore the flower against lust. He had on a pink damask robe with a narrow collar, close sleeves and archer’s cuffs, piped all over with gold thread and edged in gold, and embroidered with peonies in three shades of blue. At his waist was a silk sash hung with jade rings and jade pendants; he wore a single-layer jacket and thin-soled boots, and over it all a hero’s cloak of pink damask satin embroidered all over with clusters of flowers. His face was like a silver basin, fine as beautiful jade; his brows had a murderous cast, and his golden eyes bulged. This was the Fire-Eyed River Boar, Sun Deming. The third wore an emerald-blue jacket and was also dressed as a fighting man, with a pale yellow face, fine brows and bright eyes: this was the Water Yaksha, Han Long. The fourth, in a black jacket, stood nine feet tall, like the bottom half of a black pagoda, with thick brows and eyes round as rings: this was Han Qing. The prefect looked them over; all four were men of no common bearing. “You four have come!” said the monk. The four men hurried to bow. “Holy monk, it’s been a long time.” “Sit down, you four,” said the monk.
四個人見過知府，雷鳴、陳亮彼此敘禮已畢，眾人告了座。和尚說：「你們四個人來了甚好，我和尚特為請你四個人有事奉煩。」孫得亮說：「我四個人也聽見姚殿光、雷天化提了，皆因慈雲觀的事情。聖僧有何吩咐，叫我四個人做什麼，聖僧只管說，我等萬死不辭。」和尚說：「別的不用你們，就是臥牛磯前山牛頭峰下，有賊人的船五百隻，你四個人能把攔江絕護網、滾龍擋刀輪船隻給毀了，就算你等奇功一件。這件事別人辦不了，就煩你四個人給辦這件事。」金毛海馬孫得亮等四人點頭答應，說：「聖僧吩咐，這乃小事。我四人這就告辭，聖僧聽信罷！」

When the four had greeted the prefect and exchanged courtesies with Lei Ming and Chen Liang, everyone took a seat. “It’s very good you four have come,” said the monk. “This monk sent for you four specially, to trouble you with a job.” “We four heard about it from Yao Dianguang and Lei Tianhua,” said Sun Deliang. “It’s all on account of this Ciyun Temple business. Whatever your orders are, holy monk, whatever you want us four to do, just say the word. We’ll do it if we die ten thousand deaths.” “I don’t need you for anything else,” said the monk. “It’s just this: below Niutou Peak, on the front hill of Woniu Rock, the bandits have five hundred boats. If you four can wreck their river-barring net, their rolling-dragon blade wheels and their boats, that alone will count as a remarkable deed. Nobody else can manage it, so I’m troubling you four to do it.” The Golden-Haired Sea Horse, Sun Deliang, and the other three nodded and agreed. “Since you ask it, holy monk, it’s a small matter. We four will take our leave right now. Wait for our news, holy monk!”
