When Master Fashang Yu received an invitation while at Twin Ridge, in taking leave of the two assembly leaders Ying and Sheng he said, “We’ve been together for three years; there’s nothing you don’t know, but on examination, you’re not free from leakage.” Drawing a line with his staff, he said, “Leaving this aside for the moment, what about the task of the school of the source?”
Ying said, “The polar mountain rests on the nose.”
Fashang said, “If so, you are standing on the edge of a cliff looking at the shoreline, a particularly sad scene.”
Ying said, “A celestial spirit glares.”
Fashang said, “Nevertheless, though there is no different road for sages and ordinary people, expedient means include many approaches.”
Ying said, “An iron snake cannot bore in.”
Fashang said, “How can one converse with someone like this?”
Ying said, “It’s just because the strength of the roots is slight—don’t resent the sunny spring.” Then he drew a line too and said, “Leaving aside the work of the school of the source for the moment, what about this matter?”
Fashang slapped him.
Ying said, “This fellow from Zhang province is not unable to behave.”
Fashang said, “Given a view like this one of yours, if I didn’t strike, what better time could I expect?” And he hit him again.
Ying said, “I called it on myself.”
Good lord these two need to take this show on the road. I don’t have any profound insights here. Just being funny is alright.
