郢州桐泉山和尚。初參黃山。問天門一合十方無路。有人道得擺手出漳江。師對曰。蟄戶不開龍無龍句。黃山曰。是爾恁麼道。師曰。是即直言是。不是直言不是。黃山曰。擺手出漳江。黃山復問。卞和到處荊山秀。玉印從他天子傳時如何。師曰。靈鶴不於林下憩。野老不重太平年。黃山深肯之。師住後僧問。如何是相傳底事。師曰。龍吐長生水魚吞無盡漚。問請師挑揥(他狄切)。師曰。攂鼓轉船頭棹挑波裏月。

Upādhyāya Mount Tongquan of Ying Prefecture first visited Mount Huang and asked: "When the Heavenly Gate closes, there is no road in the ten directions. If someone can speak, he waves his hand and leaves the Zhang River." The master answered him: "When the hibernating creatures' burrows do not open, a dragon speaks no dragon's words." Mount Huang said: "Is it that you speak thus?" The master said: "If it is so, I speak directly that it is so; if it is not so, I speak directly that it is not so." Mount Huang said: "Wave your hand and leave the Zhang River." Mount Huang asked again: "Wherever Bian He goes, Mount Jing is splendid; what about when the jade seal is handed down at the pleasure of the Son of Heaven?" The master said: "The numinous crane does not rest beneath the forest; the rustic elder places no value on years of great peace." Mount Huang deeply approved of him. After the master took up residence, a monk asked: "What is the matter handed down?" The master said: "The dragon spouts the water of eternal life; the fish swallows boundless foam." [A monk] asked: "We request the master to poke and stir." The master said: "Beating the drum, turn the prow of the boat; the oar stirs the moon in the waves."
