The Tale of the Abandoned Pagoda in Đông Triều is the thirteenth story of Nguyễn Dữ's Truyền kỳ mạn lục collection,[1] published in the third volume.

Pagodas are built everywhere while nearly half of the population become monks, especially in Đông Triều District, where followers and worshipers are very devoted.

After the war, people return to their home to rebuild, and Văn Tư Lập is appointed the head official of Đông Triều.

The wiseman tells him to go to the South from the district's left gate next morning, and look for a horseman wearing duffel cloth and carrying a leather bag.

The man and villagers trace the wounded ones to an abandoned pagoda, where they see two crooked Dharmapala statues, each stuck with an arrow.
