唐曹州濟陰縣西二十里村中有精舍。至龍朔二年冬十月。野火暴起非常熾盛。及至精舍踰越而過焉。比僧房草舍焚燎總盡。唯金剛般若經一卷儼然如舊。曹州參軍事席文禮說之(右四驗出冥報拾遺)。

In a village twenty li west of Jiyin County in Caozhou under the Tang, there was an aranya. In the tenth month, the winter of the second year of the Longshuo reign era, a wildfire suddenly broke out, burning extraordinarily fiercely. When it reached the aranya, it leaped over and passed by. While the monks' quarters and thatched huts were utterly consumed by the flames, a single fascicle of the Diamond Prajñā Sūtra remained intact just as before. This was recounted by Xi Wenli, Administrative Assistant of Caozhou. (The above four verifications are taken from the Supplementary Records of Unseen Retribution [Mingbao shiyi].)
