### [46.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.46.48)

宋泰始中有張乙者。被鞭瘡痛不歇。人教之燒死人骨末以傅之。雇同房小兒登崗取一髑髏。燒以傅瘡。其夜戶內有鑪燒火。此小兒守火。空中有物。按小兒頭內火中罵曰。汝何以燒我頭。今以此火償汝。小兒大喚曰。張乙燒耳。答曰汝不取與張乙。張乙那得燒之。按頭良久髮燃都盡。皮肉燋爛然後捨之。乙大怖送所餘骨埋于故處。酒肉醊之無復災異也（右二驗出述異記）。

> In the Taishi reign period under the Song, there was a man named Zhang Yi who suffered from flogging sores whose pain would not cease. Someone instructed him to burn dead human bones into powder and apply it. He hired a young boy of the same household to climb a hill, fetch a human skull, and burn it to apply to the sores. That night, inside the door, there was a brazier with a fire burning, and this boy was tending the fire. In the air there was an object that pressed the boy's head into the fire, cursing, 'Why did you burn my head? Now I pay you back with this fire!' The boy cried out loudly, 'Zhang Yi burned it!' It replied, 'If you had not taken it and given it to Zhang Yi, how could Zhang Yi have burned it?' It pressed his head for a long time until his hair was completely burned away and his skin and flesh were scorched and rotten, before releasing him. Yi was terrified; he took the remaining bones and buried them in their former place, offering libations of wine and meat, and there were no further disasters or anomalies. (The two proofs above are from the Shuyi ji.)
