十九魏州臨黃塔者。在縣西北三十里。本名舍利寺。今為尼住。其塔見在。三邊有水唯西開路。基搆編石從水底上。蓮花彌滿於三面。其水澄深人皆怯入。傳云。舍利真塔在水內空中。如鄭州者。今改為冀州大都督府。

Nineteenth: The Linhuang stūpa in Weizhou is thirty li northwest of the county seat. Originally named Śarīra Temple, it is now inhabited by nuns. The stūpa is still present. It has water on three sides, with an open path only to the west. Its foundation was built of laid stones rising from the bottom of the water, with lotuses filling the three sides. The water is clear and deep, and people are all afraid to enter it. Tradition says that the true śarīra stūpa is in the air within the water, like the one in Zhengzhou. Now it has been changed to the Grand Protectorate of Jizhou.
