南嶽總勝集 3.35

3.35

乾德二年。雲修南岳廟。塑繪鬼神及人馬尤多。忽一日一時嘶噉旗纛。盡皆倒而西指。工人役夫皆怖仆于地。良久方甦。廟乃具事由。申舉本州。按驗得實。然後飛奏考其月日破蜀之日也。朝野莫不異之。

In the second year of the Qiande reign era, there was an imperial decree to repair the Nanyue Temple; particularly numerous were the sculpted and painted ghosts, spirits, men, and horses. Suddenly, one day, at a single moment, they neighed and gnawed at the banners and standards; all of them collapsed and pointed westward. The artisans and laborers all collapsed to the ground in terror and only revived after a long while. The temple then documented the incident and reported it to the prefecture. After investigating and confirming the facts, they transmitted an urgent memorial to check the dates: it was the very day that the Shu Kingdom was conquered. None in the court or across the realm did not marvel at it.
