《太平广记·卷三百八十四·再生十》
阿六家的人在阿六手里得到胡某的信，信上说， 我在阴间常受各种刑罚，不能托生转世，家里要为我多念经多作好事才能使我得救啊！ 
家人于手中得胡书，读云： 在地下常受诸罪，不得托生，可为造经相救。 
Ah Liu's family got Hu Mou's letter from Ah Liu. The letter said, "I am subjected to all sorts of tortures in the underworld, and I cannot be reborn; my family needs to read more sutras for me and do more good deeds so that I can be saved!"
