The traveller managed to get to ZhaoZhou city and find the master named ZhaoZhou after which the city is named. The traveller told the master, "The old woman i met on my way here seems to understand clearly the principle of Zen."
The master then replied, "I will go and test her."
He went out to the traveller path and found the old woman, "I am looking for ZhaoZhou. How should i proceed?"
As same answer as before, "Go straight, do not turn east nor turn west."
The master concluded to the traveller, " She is ignorant after all. Is ZhaoZhou not right in front of her?"
