【二八】舉。南泉參百丈涅槃和尚。丈問。從上諸聖。還有不為人說底法麼（和尚合知。壁立萬仞。還覺齒落麼）泉云。有（落草了也。孟八郎作什麼。便有恁麼事）丈云。作麼生是不為人說底法（看他作麼生。看他手忙脚亂。將錯就錯。但試問看）泉云。不是心。不是佛。不是物（果然納敗闕。果然漏逗不少）丈云。說了也（莫與他說破。從他錯一平生。不合與他恁麼道）泉云。某甲只恁麼。和尚作麼生（賴有轉身處。與長即長。與短即短。現長則就）丈云。我又不是大善知識。爭知有說不說（看他手忙脚亂。藏身露影。去死十分。爛泥裏有刺。恁麼那。賺我）泉云。某甲不會（乍可恁麼。賴值不會。會即打爾頭破。賴值這漢只恁麼）丈云。我太殺為爾說了也（雪上加霜。龍頭蛇尾作什麼）。

> Case 28: Nanquan visited Master Niepan of Baizhang. Baizhang asked: 'From antiquity down, among all the sages, is there still a Dharma that has not been spoken for people?' (The Venerable should know. / Standing wall-like ten thousand fathoms high. / Do you feel your teeth falling out?) / Nanquan said: 'There is.' (Fallen into the weeds. / What is Meng the Eighth doing? / So there is such a thing.) / Baizhang said: 'What is the Dharma that has not been spoken for people?' (See what he does. / See him flustered in hand and foot. / Going along with the mistake. / Just test him with a question.) / Nanquan said: 'It is not mind, it is not Buddha, it is not things.' (Indeed, he suffered a defeat. / Indeed, many blunders.) / Baizhang said: 'You have spoken it.' (Do not break it down for him. / Let him be mistaken for a lifetime. / You shouldn't have spoken to him like that.) / Nanquan said: 'I am only thus; how is it with the Master?' (Fortunately there is a place to turn around. / If given long, then long; if given short, then short. / Manifesting long, it complies.) / Baizhang said: 'I am not a great kalyāṇamitra either; how would I know whether there is speaking or no speaking?' (See him flustered in hand and foot. / Hiding his body while revealing his shadow. / Ten parts toward death. / Thorns in the soft mud. / Like that, is it? / Cheating me!) / Nanquan said: 'I do not understand.' (Better to be like this. / Luckily he does not understand; / if he understood, I'd break your head. / Luckily this fellow is only thus.) / Baizhang said: 'I have spoken all too much for you.' (Adding frost to snow. / Why a dragon's head and a snake's tail?).
