《太平广记·卷一百一十六·报应十》
以后官府想把那口钟搬到别的寺院里，看那钟平堕在楼上，等把它放倒，只见盗铜的人抱着锤和錾，分明地坐在里面，已经干枯了。
后官欲徙其钟于别寺，见寺钟平堕在阁上，及仆之，见盗钟者抱锤錾，俨然坐于其间，既已干枯矣。
Later the government wanted to move the bell to another temple, and seeing the bell lying flat on the top floor, when they put it down, they saw the man who stole the copper holding a hammer and chisel, sitting clearly inside, already dried up.
