《太平广记·卷三百零三·神十三》
金匠带着钱出了县府，遇见有人将要杀猪，金匠是个慈悲心肠的人，把造金像的钱赎买了那头猪放掉，金像就没造成。
工以钱出县，遇人执猪，将烹之。工愍焉，尽以其钱赎之，像未之造也。
The goldsmith took the money and left the prefecture, and met someone about to kill a pig, the goldsmith was a person of compassion, and used the money for the golden idol to buy the pig and set it free, and so the golden idol was not made.
