8.8
"Does the Venerable have it or not?" Xuedou concludes the case according to the confession. It may be so, but it is just a golden-haired lion—alas, it does not crouch on the ground! When a lion catches prey, it conceals its teeth and hides its claws, crouches on the ground, and pounces; whether the prey is large or small, it always uses its full might, seeking to accomplish its work completely. Yunyan said, "Does the Venerable have it or not?" He was merely walking on the old road. Therefore Xuedou said that Baizhang snapped his fingers in vain at the foot of Mount Daxiong.
