城一隅阤，屢築輒壞，嗣業祝之，有白龍見，因其處蕝祠以祭，城遂不壞，漢耿恭故井久涸，禱已，泉復出。 One corner of the city wall kept collapsing whenever it was rebuilt. Siye prayed, a white dragon appeared, and he built a thatched shrine on the spot to offer sacrifice—the wall held thereafter. The ancient well of Geng Gong of Han had long run dry; after his prayers the spring flowed again.
