Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
Another day [Guishan] accompanied Baizhang on a walk on the mountain. Coming to a woods, Baizhang said, “Cook, did you bring fire?” He said, “I did.” Baizhang said, “Where is it?” Guishan then picked up a twig, blew on it twice, and handed it to Baizhang. Baizhang said, “Like insects eating away at wood.”
Dahui said, “If Baizhang hadn’t made that last statement, he might have been made a fool of by the cook.”

(Welcome link) Meet ewk note: What is the wood, in this Case? How do insects eat away at it? This is Baizhang who Buddhist Apologists claim was "orthodox". This is Guishan, who taught Yangshan the sutras were devil's words.
Dahui comes along after... why did he choose this Case to make a fool of himself?
