Das Wunderbare gehört für China noch zum natürlichen Weltlauf, so dass hier sich keine scharfe Grenze ziehen lässt. Es waren einmal zehn Bauern, die gingen miteinander über Feld. Sie wurden von einem schweren Gewitter überrascht und flüchteten sich in einen halb zerfallenen Tempel. Der Donner aber kam immer näher, und es war ein Getöse, dass die Luft ringsum erzitterte. Kreisend fuhr ein Blitz fortwährend um den Tempel her.
