>Jiashan called on the Boatman.
:person_rowing_boat:
>The Boatman asked, "Letting down a line a thousand feet, the intent is in the depths; a tongue's length away from the hook, why don't you speak?"
>As Jiashan was about the open his mouth, the Boatman knocked him into the water. As he was getting out, the Boatman hit him again.
>Jiashan's mind opened up in great enlightenment. He then nodded three times.
