晉趙侯。少好諸術。姿形悴陋長不滿數尺。以盆盛水閉目作禁。魚龍立見。侯有白米。為鼠所盜。仍被頭把刀畫地作獄。四面門向東嘯。群鼠俱到。呪之曰。凡非噉者過去。止者十餘。剖腹看藏。有米在焉。曾徒跣須屐。因仰頭微吟。雙屐自至。人有笑其形容者。便陽設以酒杯。向口即掩鼻不脫。仍啟顙謝過。著地不舉。永康有騎石山。山上有石人騎。石馬。侯以印指之。人馬一時落首。今猶在山下（右此一驗出異苑）。

Marquis Zhao of the Jin in his youth was fond of various occult arts. His appearance was haggard and ugly, and his height was less than a few feet. Filling a basin with water and closing his eyes to utter incantations, fish and dragons appeared at once. The Marquis had some white rice that was stolen by rats; he then disheveled his hair, took a knife, and drew an enclosure on the ground to serve as a prison. Facing east at the four gates, he whistled, and a pack of rats all arrived. He laid a spell upon them, saying, "All those who did not eat, pass on." Over ten rats remained behind; when he slit open their bellies to inspect their entrails, the rice was inside. Once, walking barefoot, he needed clogs; looking up and chanting softly, a pair of clogs arrived of their own accord. When someone mocked his appearance, he pretended to offer him a wine cup; as it approached the man's mouth, it clamped onto his nose and could not be removed until he bowed his head to apologize, remaining stuck to the ground without rising. In Yongkang there was Mount Qishi (Riding-Rock Mountain); on the mountain was a stone man riding a stone horse. The Marquis pointed at it with a talismanic seal, and the heads of both man and horse fell off simultaneously; they are still at the foot of the mountain today. (The above one verification is from the Yiyuan.)
