When Chan Master Huqiu Long visited Sixin, Sixin asked, "What kind of monk are you?" Qiu said, "An itinerant pilgrimage monk." Sixin said, "From what village monk are you, and what kind of donkey-legs or horse-legs are you walking on?" Qiu said, "What is the barbarian from Guangnan saying? Why not say it in a louder voice?" Sixin said, "You actually have a bit of the scent of a patch-robed monk." He then kept him to pass the summer.
