Seonmun yeomsong jip: Case 471: Zhaozhou’s Two Dragons

Zhaozhou was asked by a monk, “When two dragons fight over a (wish-fulfilling) jewel, who is the winner?” The master said, “I would just observe.”

Xuedou Chongxian added a comment, “If you observe, it is not that there isn’t anything. If you fight over it, you will not attain it. Speak! Will you support the monk or support Zhaozhou?”

...

I haven't seen this one before; maybe one of y'all can let me know if it shows up in one of the three manuals.

To me, this looks, straight up, like a hwadu. Anyone want to take a crack?
