2.38

The master said, "How much of the Dragon King's wind can it consume?"
The monk said, "Great and small, Xutang has lost the advantage today!"
The master said, "An arm never bends outward."
The monk said, "Puhua shook his wooden clapper and ascended into the sky; I wonder, where did he go?"
The master said, "Three times nine is twenty-seven."
The monk said, "Ultimately, where did he go?"
The master said, "One who bites human turds is no good dog."
The monk said, "Today this student gave out little and gained much." He then bowed.
The master said, "Pauper's brat!"
