〈（《宋史·孫行友傳》：方諫懼主帥捕逐，乃表歸朝，因署為東北面招收指揮使，且賜院額曰勝福。
(From the 《Song History · Biography of Sun Xingyou》: Fangjian feared the military governor would arrest him and submitted to the court. He was appointed northeastern recruitment commander, and the monastery was granted the plaque name Shengfu, Victorious Blessing.
易定帥聞於朝，因以方諫為邊界遊奕使，行友副之。
The military governor of Yiding reported this to the court. Fangjian was made frontier patrol commissioner with Xingyou as his deputy.
朝廷以其弟行友為定州留後，
The court appointed his younger brother Xingyou acting regent of Dingzhou,
〈（《宋史》云：行友上言，偵得契丹離合，願得勁兵三千，乘間平定幽州。
(The 《Song History》 records: Xingyou memorialized that he had learned of Khitan divisions and alliances and asked for three thousand elite troops to seize an opportunity and pacify Youzhou.
乃移方諫鎮華州，以行友為定州留後。）〉
Fangjian was therefore transferred to Huazhou, and Xingyou was made acting regent of Dingzhou.)〉
其弟行友繼為定州節度。
His younger brother Xingyou succeeded him as military governor of Dingzhou.
皇朝乾德中，以其妖妄惑眾，詔毀狼山佛寺，遷其尼朽骨赴京，遣焚於北郊，以行友為諸衛大將軍，自是祅徒遂息焉。
During the Qiande reign of the Song dynasty, because the cult had deluded the people with false claims, an edict ordered the Langshan Buddhist monastery destroyed. The rotted bones of the nun were transported to the capital and burned in the northern suburbs, and Xingyou was made a general-in-chief of the Palace Guard. From then on the heterodox followers ceased their activities.
（《續通鑒長編》：建隆二年八月，義成節度使、同平章事孫行友，在鎮逾八年，而狼山妖尼深意黨益盛。
(From the Extended Comprehensive Mirror: In the eighth month of the second year of Jianlong, Sun Xingyou, military governor of Yicheng and concurrent Director of the Chancellery, had held his post for more than eight years, while the Langshan sorceress Shenyi and her faction grew ever stronger.
上初即位，行友不自安，累表乞解官歸山，上不許，行友懼，乃繕治甲兵，將棄其帑，還據山寨以叛。
When the emperor had just succeeded to the throne, Xingyou felt insecure. He repeatedly memorialized asking to resign and return to the mountains, but the emperor refused. Xingyou grew afraid and began repairing armor and weapons, intending to abandon his treasury, return to a mountain stockade, and rebel.
兵馬都監樂繼能密奏其事，上遣閣門副使武懷節馳騎會鎮、趙之兵，偽稱巡邊，直入定州，行友不之覺。
The army-and-horse supervisory commissioner Yue Jineng secretly reported the matter. The emperor sent Vice Commissioner of the Inner Gate Wu Huaijie riding at speed to join the forces of Zhen and Zhao, falsely claiming a frontier inspection, and entered Dingzhou directly. Xingyou did not detect it.
既而出詔示之，令舉族歸朝，行友倉皇聽命。
Then an edict was produced and shown to him, ordering his whole clan to return to court. Xingyou obeyed in panic.
己酉，制削奪行友官爵，禁錮私第，取尼深意屍，焚之都城西北隅。
On jiyou day, an imperial order stripped Xingyou of his offices and titles and confined him in his private residence. The corpse of the nun Shenyi was taken and burned in the northwest corner of the capital.
行友弟易州刺史方進、侄保塞軍使全暉，皆詣闕待罪，詔釋之。）
Xingyou's younger brother Fangjin, prefect of Yizhou, and his nephew Quanhui, commissioner of Baosai Army, all came to court to await punishment. An edict pardoned them.)
