吳王夫差殺其臣公孫聖。而不以罪。後越伐吳。吳敗走。謂太宰嚭曰。吾前殺臣公孫聖。投於胥山之下。今道當由之。吾上畏蒼天下慚於地。吾舉足而不進。心不忍往。子試唱於前。若聖猶在當有應聲。嚭乃向餘杭之山。呼曰公孫聖。聖即從上應曰在。三呼而三應。吳主大懼。仰天歎曰。蒼天蒼天。寡人豈可復歸乎。吳主遂死不反。

> King Fuchai of Wu killed his minister Gongsun Sheng without guilt. Later, Yue attacked Wu, and Wu fled in defeat. \[Fuchai\] said to Grand Minister Pi, 'Formerly I killed my minister Gongsun Sheng and cast him down beneath Mount Xu. Now our path must pass by it. Looking up, I fear the azure sky; looking down, I am ashamed before the earth. I lift my feet but cannot advance; my heart cannot bear to go. You, sir, try calling out before us; if Sheng is still there, there should be an answering voice.' Pi then faced the mountain of Yuhang and called out, saying, 'Gongsun Sheng!' Sheng immediately answered from above, saying, 'Present!' He called three times, and \[Sheng\] answered three times. The Lord of Wu was terrified; he looked up to heaven and sighed, saying, 'Azure heaven! Azure heaven! How could I, the solitary one, ever return?' The Lord of Wu thereupon died and did not return.
