At Jingshan there was an assembly of five hundred, but few people went to ask for instruction. Huangbo ordered the master to go to Jingshan, saying to him, "When you arrive there, what will you do?" The master said, "When I arrive there, I will have my own expedients." When the master arrived at Jingshan, still in his travelling clothes, he went up to the Dharma Hall to see Jingshan. Jingshan just raised his head, and the master gave a shout. As Jingshan was about to open his mouth, the master flicked his sleeves and walked out. Soon a monk asked Jingshan, "What words did that monk just say that made him shout at the Venerable?" Jingshan said, "This monk came from Huangbo's assembly. If you want to know, just go ask him." More than half of Jingshan's five hundred monks dispersed.
