The master asked a newly arrived monk, ‘Where have you come from?’
‘From Fengxiang (Shanxi),’ said the monk.
‘Have you brought that with you or not?’ asked the master.
‘Yes,’ answered the monk.
‘Where is it?’ asked the master.
The monk then, with both hands raised aloft as if making a reverent offering, motioned to submit it. The master, raising his hands, made as if to receive it and then tossed it behind his back. The monk made no response. ‘This wild fox,’ said the master.
