魏支法存者。本是胡人。生長廣州妙善醫術。遂成巨富有八丈𣰅㲪。作百種形像光彩曜日。又有沈香八尺版床。居常芬馥。王談為廣州刺史。大兒劭之屢求二物。法存不與。王談因存亮繼殺。而藉沒家財焉。死後形見於府囚輒打閣下鼓。似若稱冤魂。如此經尋月。王談得病。常見法存守之。少時遂亡。劭之至楊都又死（此二驗出冤魂志）。

Zhi Facun of the Wei was originally a barbarian. Born and raised in Guangzhou, he was extraordinarily skilled in medicine and consequently became extremely wealthy. He possessed an eighty-foot wool rug embroidered with a hundred varieties of figures, splendid and radiant as the sun. He also had an eight-foot board bed of agarwood, which constantly emanated fragrance. Wang Tan became the Regional Inspector of Guangzhou; his eldest son, Shaozhi, repeatedly asked for these two items, but Facun refused to give them. Wang Tan, relying on Cunliang, had him executed and confiscated his family property. After his death, his form appeared in the commandery; whenever prisoners were about to be beaten, a drum beneath the tower sounded, seeming like a ghost crying out injustice. After a month had passed in this manner, Wang Tan fell ill, constantly seeing Facun standing watch over him, and died shortly after. When Shaozhi reached the capital, Yangdu, he also died. (These two verifications are from the Yuanhun zhi).
