He cited: "Deshan, carrying his bundle under his arm, arrived at Guishan and walked into the Dharma hall, crossing from east to west and from west to east. Guishan sat silently without looking at him. Deshan said, 'Nothing, nothing,' and immediately went out. Then he said, 'I also must not be careless.' Thereupon, possessing full comportment, he met Guishan, held up his sitting cloth, and said, 'Venerable Sir!' As Guishan was about to reach for his whisk, Deshan gave a shout, turned his back on the Dharma hall, put on his straw sandals, and left. In the evening Guishan asked the head monk, 'Where is that newly arrived monk from earlier?' The head monk said, 'At that time he turned his back on the Dharma hall, put on his straw sandals, and left.' Guishan said, 'Do you know that fellow? Hereafter he will build a grass hut on the peak of a solitary mountain, scolding the buddhas and reviling the patriarchs.'"
