[The Master] cited: "Zhuyu took a bamboo stake, ascended the hall, and said, 'Is there anyone who can drive a stake into empty space?' At that time, Senior Lingxu came forward and said, 'Empty space is the stake.' Zhuyu struck him at once. Xu said, 'Do not mistakenly strike me.' Zhuyu stopped." The Master said, "If this story is to prevail widely, one should have struck him and chased him straight out."
