9.37

初虎殮澄,以生時錫杖及鉢內棺中。後冉閔篡位開棺唯得鉢杖,不復見屍。或言澄死之月,有人見在流沙。虎疑不死,開棺不見屍。後慕容俊都鄴,處石虎宮中,每夢見虎嚙其臂,意謂石虎為祟。迺募覓虎屍,於東明館掘得之,屍殭不毀。俊蹋之罵曰:「死胡,敢怖生天子。汝作宮殿成,而為汝兒所圖,況復他耶?」鞭撻毀辱,投之漳河。屍倚橋柱不移。秦將王猛迺收而葬之。麻襦所謂「一柱殿」也。後符堅征鄴,俊子暐為堅大將郭神虎所執。實先夢之驗也。

Earlier, when [Shi] Hu prepared Fotudeng for burial, he placed the monk's lifetime staff and begging bowl inside the coffin. Later, when Ran Min usurped the throne, the coffin was opened, but only the bowl and staff were found, and the corpse was seen no more. Some said that in the month Fotudeng died, someone saw him in the drifting sands. Hu suspected that he was not dead and opened the coffin, but did not find the corpse. Later, when Murong Jun made Ye his capital and resided in Shi Hu's palace, he repeatedly dreamt that Hu bit his arm, and thought Shi Hu was causing a haunting. He then offered a reward to search for Hu's corpse, and dug it up at the Dongming Hostel; the corpse was stiff and undecayed. Jun stamped on it and cursed, saying, 'Dead barbarian! How dare you terrify a living Son of Heaven? You built palaces, yet your sons plotted against you; how much more so an outsider?' He whipped and defiled it, then cast it into the Zhang River. The corpse leaned against a bridge pillar and did not move away. Wang Meng, a general of Qin, then retrieved and buried it; this was what the hemp jacket had meant by 'the pavilion with a single pillar.' Later, when Fu Jian attacked Ye, Jun's son Wei was captured by Jian's grand general Guo Shenhu. This was indeed the fulfillment of the earlier dream.
