漢孫策。既定會稽。引兵迎漢帝。時道人于吉在策軍中。遇天大旱船路艱澁。策甞自出督切軍中人。每見將士多在吉所。因憤怒曰。吾不如吉乎。收吉縛置日中。令其降雨。如不能者便當受誅。俄頃之間雲雨滂沛。未及移時川㵎涌溢。時並來賀。吉免其死。策轉忿恚。意使殺之。因是策頗愍傷。每髣髴見吉。後出射獵為刺客所傷。治療將差。引鏡自窺鏡中見吉。顧則無之。如是再三。遂撲鏡大噭。瘡皆崩裂。須臾而死（見冤魂志）。

Sun Ce of the Han, having pacified Kuaiji, led his troops to welcome the Han emperor. At that time, the Daoist master Yu Ji was in Ce’s army. When they encountered a severe drought, the waterway for the boats was blocked. Ce personally went out to inspect and spur on the army, and often saw that many officers and soldiers were at Ji’s quarters. Filled with fury, he said: “Am I inferior to Ji?” He arrested Ji, bound him, and placed him in the blazing sun, commanding him to make rain fall; if he could not, he would be executed. Within moments, clouds and torrential rain poured down, and before long, the streams and ravines overflowed. Everyone came to congratulate him and pleaded for Ji to be spared death. Ce grew all the more enraged and resolved to have him killed. Because of this, Ce felt deep remorse and sorrow, and seemed repeatedly to see Ji's apparition. Later, while out hunting, Ce was wounded by assassins. As his treatment was on the verge of curing him, he drew a mirror to look at himself and saw Ji in the mirror. When he turned around, there was nothing. This happened two or three times. Thereupon he smashed the mirror and let out a great cry; his wounds all burst open, and he died in a moment.
