He cited: "Upādhyāya Changzi Kuang asked a monk: 'Where do you come from?' The monk said: 'Kongshi Hermitage on Mount Jiuhua.' Changzi said: 'What kind of person is the hermitage master?' He said: 'A senior venerable under Mazu.' [Changzi] said: 'What is his name?' He said: 'I do not know his Dharma name.' Changzi said: 'Does he not know, or do you not know?' He said: 'Where are the senior venerable's eyes?' Changzi said: 'Even if the hermitage master came in person, today he would also have to take a beating with the staff.' The monk said: 'Fortunately, I met with the upādhyāya letting me off.' Changzi said: 'Even in a hundred years, finding such a master monk would be difficult.'"
