3.8
The Master saw a newcomer and said, "Upādhyāya Xuefeng said: 'The road has been opened; Bodhidharma is coming.' I ask you, how is it?" The monk said, "It bumps right into the upādhyāya's nostrils." The Master said, "The earth spirit had a fit of temper, grabbed Mount Sumeru with one strike, leapt up to the Brahmā heaven, and bruised Śakra's nostrils. Why did you hide your body away in Japan?" The monk said, "It would be best if the upādhyāya did not deceive people." The Master said, "It bumps into this old monk's nostrils—how about that?" There was no reply. The Master said, "I should have known you were just one who mimics words." Answering on his behalf for where there was no reply, he said, "The upādhyāya only fears that I am not genuine." He also said, "Luoluo li."
