[24] Case: Iron Grinder Liu arrived at Guishan. (Indeed hard to approach. This old woman does not keep to her proper lot.) / Mountain said, "Old cow, so you have come!" (Spotting. A probing pole and shadow grass. In what place do you see the awkwardness?) / Grinder said, "Tomorrow there is a great communal vegetarian feast on Mount Tai; will the venerable monk go?" (An arrow not shot in vain. The Great Tang beats the drum, Silla dances. Letting go too fast, gathering in too slow.) / Guishan lay down flat. (Hit the mark. In what place do you see Guishan? Who knows that across the distant misty waves there are other fine thoughts?) / Grinder immediately went out. (Too far. Acting upon seeing the dynamic function.)
