6.185

He cited: "Before Upādhyāya Xiyuan Siming became an abbot, while in Xuzhou, he heard that Nanyuan in Ruzhou had appeared in the world. Since they were originally fellow practitioners, he went specially to pay his respects. After doing so, he said: 'I report to the upādhyāya, I have nothing with which to pay my respects; coming from Xuzhou, I obtained a Jiangxi razor, which I present to the upādhyāya.' [Nan]yuan said: 'Since you come from Xuzhou, why do you have a Jiangxi razor?' Siming then gave a pinch on Nanyuan's hand. Nanyuan said: 'Attendant, receive it.' Siming flicked his sleeves once and walked away. Nanyuan said: 'Alala, alala!'"
