6.4
Case: Guishan asked Daowu, "Where have you come from?" (The place of coming must be clear.)
Wu said, "I have come from visiting the sick." (The first field of merit is indeed not absent.)
Shan said, "How many people are sick?" (Still demanding two sorts.)
Wu said, "There are those who are sick and those who are not sick." (Yet you have a second moon.)
Shan said, "Is the one who is not sick the ascetic Zhi?" (A device to trap a tiger.)
Wu said, "Being sick or not sick has nothing to do with him at all. Speak quickly! Speak quickly!" (Yet the gourd vine is tangled back onto itself.)
Shan said, "Even if you could speak, it would have no connection." (Disaster does not enter the house of the cautious.)
