The old waman replied: -Just go straight, don't make any left turn or right turn. When the monk met Chao-chou, he said: On the road comming here, I met an old woman, it seemed that she understood Ch'an very well. Chao-chou said: -Let me see the old woman and test her for you. Chao-chou then went to see the old woman. When he met her, he asked: -I would like to know which way that leads to Chao-chou, would you please give me the direction? She replied: -Just go straight, don't make any left turn or right turn. When Chao-chou was back to his place, he said to the monk: -The old woman did not know at all. It was that Chao-chou stood right in front of her, wasn't it?
