【五六】舉。良禪客問欽山。一鏃破三關時如何（嶮不妨奇特。不妨是箇猛將）山云。放出關中主看（劈面來也。也要大家知。主山高按山低）良云。恁麼則知過必改（見機而作。已落第二頭）山云。更待何時（有擒有縱。風行草偃）良云。好箭放不著所在便出（果然。擬待翻欵那。第二棒打人不痛）山云。且來闍黎（呼則易遣則難。喚得回頭。堪作什麼）良回首（果然把不住。中也）山把住云。一鏃破三關即且止。試與欽山發箭看（虎口裏橫身。逆水之波。見義不為無勇也）良擬議（果然摸索不著。打云。可惜許）山打七棒云。且聽這漢疑三十年（令合恁麼。有始有終。頭正尾正。這箇棒合是欽山喫）。

> \[56\] Case: Chan traveler Liang asked Qinshan, "What about when a single arrowhead breaks through the three passes?" (Precipitous! It is remarkably extraordinary; he is indeed a fierce general.) Qinshan said, "Let the master inside the pass out so we may see him!" (Right in the face! Everyone needs to know this: the main mountain is high, the table mountain is low.) Liang said, "Then knowing my error, I must correct it." (Acting on seeing the dynamic opportunity; already fallen into the secondary.) Qinshan said, "What other time are you waiting for?" (There is capturing and releasing; when the wind moves, the grass bends.) Liang said, "A good arrow shot with nowhere to hit!" and straightaway walked out. (Indeed! Was he aiming to recant his confession? A second staff strike does not hurt.) Qinshan called, "Come here a moment, ācārya!" (Easy to call, hard to dismiss. What good is it to call him and have him turn his head?) Liang turned his head. (Indeed, he could not hold his ground. Hit!) Qinshan seized him and said, "Let alone a single arrowhead breaking through the three passes—for Qinshan's sake, try shooting an arrow and let me see!" (Flings his body into the tiger's mouth; a wave against the current. Seeing what is right and not doing it is a lack of courage.) Liang hesitated. (Indeed, he could not find a hold. Striking, he said: What a pity!) Qinshan struck him seven blows with the staff and said, "Just let this fellow doubt for thirty years!" (The imperative should be executed like this. Having a beginning and having an end, head straight and tail straight. It was Qinshan who ought to have taken this staff.)
