許城外有河水洶湧，近崖深黯。盛夏時，有人入浴，忽然若被刀斧，尸斷浮出；後一人亦如之。轉相驚怪。邑宰聞之，遣多人閘斷上流，竭其水。見崖下有深洞，中置轉輪，輪上排利刃如霜。去輪攻入，有小碑，字皆漢篆。細視之，則曹孟德墓也。破棺散骨，所殉金寶，盡取之。
許城外有一條河，水流洶湧，靠近山崖的地方水深而昏暗。盛夏時，有人下河洗澡，忽然像被刀斧砍中一樣，斷開的屍體浮了上來。後來又有一個人遭遇了同樣的事。人們互相傳告，都感到驚恐而詫異。縣令聽說後，派了許多人在上游築壩截斷水流，把河水排幹。他們看見山崖下面有一個很深的洞，洞裡裝著一個轉輪，輪上排列著鋒利的刀刃，亮得像白霜。他們拆掉轉輪，破開阻擋進到裡面，發現一塊小石碑，上面的字全是漢代的篆字。仔細一看，原來是曹孟德的墓。他們砸開棺材，把屍骨弄得四散，將陪葬的黃金和珍寶全都取走了。

Outside the city of Xu there was a river that ran swift and turbulent, deep and dark near the cliff. One midsummer a man went in to bathe, and suddenly, as if struck by knives and axes, he came floating up with his body cut apart. Another man after him met the same fate. Word passed from one to another, and people were alarmed and baffled. When the county magistrate heard of it, he sent a crowd of men to dam the river upstream and drain the water. Under the cliff they found a deep cave, and in it a turning wheel set with rows of sharp blades, bright as frost. They took away the wheel and broke their way in. There was a small stone tablet, all in Han-dynasty seal script. Looking closely, they found it was the tomb of Cao Mengde. They broke open the coffin and scattered the bones, and took all the gold and treasure buried with him.
