Case: Magu, holding his staff, arrived at Zhangjing. He circled the meditation platform three times, shook his staff once, and stood tall and erect. (Despicable—having Chan.) Zhangjing said, "Yes, yes." (Believe half of it for now.) Magu also went to Nanquan, circled the meditation platform three times, shook his staff once, and stood tall and erect. (Tomorrow, present it once again for the King of Chu to see.) Nanquan said, "No, no." (Also believe half of it for now.) Magu said, "Zhangjing said 'Yes'; why does the Venerable say 'No'?" (Opening eyes inside a coffin.) Nanquan said, "Zhangjing is indeed right; it is you who are wrong." (Adding frost upon snow.) "This is something turned by the power of the wind; in the end it comes to ruin." (To kill a man, one must see blood.)
