1.26

The deity protecting the image grew wrathful and afflicted the Duke with illness. In a dream, the Duke also journeyed to the High Emperor, where he was severely rebuked and admonished. Upon waking, he questioned his ministers. You Yu answered, 'Your servant has read the ancient books: in the time of King Mu of Zhou, a transformed person came to this land, claiming to be a Buddha spirit. King Mu believed in him and built the Central Heaven Terrace on Mount Zhongnan, over a thousand feet high, whose foundations still exist today. He also built a shrine at the Cangjie Terrace called the Three Assemblies Sanctuary. Is not your Grace's present affliction caused by this Buddha spirit?'
