話說老仙翁把乾坤奧妙大葫蘆打開，口中念念有詞，說聲：「吾奉太上老君，急急如律令敕。」「刷啦啦」由葫蘆里出來五彩光華，撲奔六合童子悚海，只見六合童子悚海，被光華捲來捲去，被老仙翁卷進葫蘆之內。老仙翁立刻先把葫蘆蓋一蓋，臥雲居士靈霄等一見說：「好老道，你敢傷我等兄弟！」眾人各拉拿混元魔火幡，跟老仙翁拚命。老仙翁實指望要把八魔全皆拿住，焉想到六合童子悚海，成心要傷損老仙翁的寶貝，六合童子悚海他能大能小，要小他能變似蒼蠅，要大能有幾丈大。他到了葫蘆之內，一施展法術，往大了一長，就聽葫蘆內咕嚕嚕一響，叭的一響，把葫蘆炸了三四瓣。
话说老仙翁把乾坤奥妙大葫芦打开，口中念念有词，说声：「吾奉太上老君，急急如律令敕。」「刷啦啦」由葫芦里出来五彩光华，扑奔六合童子悚海，只见六合童子悚海，被光华卷来卷去，被老仙翁卷进葫芦之内。老仙翁立刻先把葫芦盖一盖，卧云居士灵霄等一见说：「好老道，你敢伤我等兄弟！」众人各拉拿混元魔火幡，跟老仙翁拼命。老仙翁实指望要把八魔全皆拿住，焉想到六合童子悚海，成心要伤损老仙翁的宝贝，六合童子悚海他能大能小，要小他能变似苍蝇，要大能有几丈大。他到了葫芦之内，一施展法术，往大了一长，就听葫芦内咕噜噜一响，叭的一响，把葫芦炸了三四瓣。
Now, the Old Immortal Elder opened the Great Gourd of Cosmic Mysteries, muttered an incantation and said, “I act on the command of the Supreme Lord Lao: swiftly, swiftly, as the law decrees — so ordered!” With a whoosh, five-coloured light came streaming out of the gourd and swept straight at Songhai, the Boy of the Six Directions. Songhai was tossed this way and that in the light, and the Old Immortal Elder rolled him up into the gourd. At once the Old Immortal Elder clapped the lid on the gourd. When Lingxiao, the Recluse Woyun, and the others saw this, they said, “Fine Daoist! You dare harm a brother of ours!” Each of them took hold of his Primal Unity Demon-Fire Banner, ready to fight the Old Immortal Elder to the death. The Old Immortal Elder had fully expected to catch all eight of the demons, but how could he have known that Songhai, the Boy of the Six Directions, was set on wrecking his treasure? Songhai could make himself large or small: small, he could turn into something no bigger than a fly; large, he could grow to tens of feet. Once inside the gourd, he worked his magic and stretched himself bigger. There was a gurgling rumble inside the gourd, then a crack, and the gourd burst into three or four pieces.
老仙翁嚇得亡魂皆冒，撿起半片瓢，撥頭就跑，嚇得褚道緣跟著就跑，幸喜八魔沒追趕。老仙翁離了金山寺，心痛自己的寶貝，不由得放聲痛哭。褚道緣看著老仙翁可憐，又怕濟公被八魔所害，不由得也哭起來了。正哭著，只聽對面一聲：「無量佛。善哉，善哉。道友何必如此？」褚道緣抬頭一看，見對面來了兩位老道，面如紫玉，濃眉大眼，花白鬍須，頭上紫緞色道巾，身穿紫緞色道袍，腰系杏黃絲絛，白襪雲鞋，背背寶劍，手拿螢刷。後面跟定這位老道，頭戴青緞色九梁道巾，身穿藍緞色道袍，腰系黃絲絛，白襪雲鞋，面如三秋古月，發如三冬雪，須賽九秋霜，一部銀髯扇滿了前胸，手拿螢刷。真是仙風飄灑，好似太白李金星降世。頭前這乃是白雲仙長徐長靜，後頭跟著野鶴真人呂洞明。這兩位老道，原本是由焦山來，要逛逛金山寺。
老仙翁吓得亡魂皆冒，捡起半片瓢，拨头就跑，吓得褚道缘跟着就跑，幸喜八魔没追赶。老仙翁离了金山寺，心痛自己的宝贝，不由得放声痛哭。褚道缘看着老仙翁可怜，又怕济公被八魔所害，不由得也哭起来了。正哭着，只听对面一声：「无量佛。善哉，善哉。道友何必如此？」褚道缘抬头一看，见对面来了两位老道，面如紫玉，浓眉大眼，花白胡须，头上紫缎色道巾，身穿紫缎色道袍，腰系杏黄丝绦，白袜云鞋，背背宝剑，手拿萤刷。后面跟定这位老道，头戴青缎色九梁道巾，身穿蓝缎色道袍，腰系黄丝绦，白袜云鞋，面如三秋古月，发如三冬雪，须赛九秋霜，一部银髯扇满了前胸，手拿萤刷。真是仙风飘洒，好似太白李金星降世。头前这乃是白云仙长徐长静，后头跟着野鹤真人吕洞明。这两位老道，原本是由焦山来，要逛逛金山寺。
The Old Immortal Elder was frightened out of his wits. He snatched up half the broken gourd shell, turned and ran, and Chu Daoyuan, just as frightened, ran after him. Luckily the Eight Demons did not give chase. Once the Old Immortal Elder was away from Jinshan Temple, his heart ached for his treasure, and he could not help weeping aloud. Chu Daoyuan, seeing how pitiful the Old Immortal Elder was, and afraid besides that Ji Gong would come to harm at the Eight Demons’ hands, could not help weeping too. As they were weeping, a voice came from in front of them: “Limitless Buddha. Good, good. Fellow Daoist, why take on so?” Chu Daoyuan looked up and saw two old Daoists coming toward them. The first had a face like purple jade, thick brows, big eyes and a grizzled beard. On his head was a Daoist cap of purple satin, and he wore a Daoist robe of purple satin, with an apricot-yellow silk cord about his waist, white socks and cloud shoes. A sword was slung on his back, and he held a fly whisk in his hand. The Daoist who followed close behind him wore a nine-ridged Daoist cap of black satin and a Daoist robe of blue satin, with a yellow silk cord about his waist, white socks and cloud shoes. His face was like an ancient autumn moon, his hair like midwinter snow and his whiskers whiter than late-autumn frost, and a full silver beard spread over his chest. He too held a fly whisk. Truly he had the airy grace of an immortal, like the Venus Star come down to earth. The one in front was Xu Changjing, the Immortal Master Baiyun, and the one behind him was Lü Dongming, the Perfected One Yehe. These two old Daoists had come from Mount Jiao, meaning to take a stroll round Jinshan Temple.
走在這裡，正遇見老仙翁，手拿著破瓢，同褚道緣在地上坐著放聲大哭，徐長靜、呂洞明二人趕奔上前，說：「仙翁何至如此？」老仙翁嘆了一聲，說：「二位道友有所不知，只因濟公長老的徒弟燒萬花山，惹下眾外道天魔在金山寺要擺魔火金光陣，火煉濟顛。我與濟公素有舊識，再說濟公乃是上一位得道高僧，我去給解勸，八魔跟我翻了臉。我用乾坤奧妙大葫蘆要裝八魔，不想六合童子悚海把我的葫蘆炸了。」徐長靜一聽說：「可惜可惜！這葫蘆乃蓬萊子給你留下的寶貝，不想今天被八魔給毀壞了，著實可惱！」老仙翁說：「二位道友，既來了，可以幫我去報仇，捉拿八魔行不行？」

They had got this far when they came upon the Old Immortal Elder, sitting on the ground with Chu Daoyuan, the broken gourd shell in his hand, weeping aloud. Xu Changjing and Lü Dongming hurried up to him. “Immortal Elder,” they said, “what has brought you to this?” The Old Immortal Elder sighed. “You don’t know, fellow Daoists,” he said. “Ji Gong’s disciple burned Mount Wanhua, and that has brought a pack of demons outside the true Way down on him. They mean to set up the Demon-Fire Golden-Light Formation at Jinshan Temple and smelt Crazy Ji in its fire. Ji Gong and I are old acquaintances, and what’s more, Ji Gong is a high monk who has attained the Way. I went to talk them round, and the Eight Demons turned on me. I tried to catch the Eight Demons in the Great Gourd of Cosmic Mysteries, and who would have thought it? Songhai, the Boy of the Six Directions, burst my gourd.” When Xu Changjing heard this, he said, “What a pity, what a pity! That gourd was a treasure Penglaizi left you, and today the Eight Demons have destroyed it. It’s truly infuriating!” “Fellow Daoists,” said the Old Immortal Elder, “since you’re here, will you help me take my revenge and catch the Eight Demons?”
