The Tale of the Judge of Tản Viên Temple is the eighth story of Nguyễn Dữ's Truyền kỳ mạn lục collection,[1] published in the second volume.

Later, Tử Văn falls ill and a man wearing a helmet appears, demanding him to rebuild the temple or be sued in the underworld.

Claiming that the spirit has bribed nearby local gods to cover his misdeeds, he advises Tử Văn to prepare for his impending arrest.

Yama sends men to Tản Viên Temple to take witness account, confirming Tử Văn's report.

In 1414, an acquaintance of Tử Văn sees him riding a carriage in the mist outside of Đông Quan.The story is a lesson included in the second volume of Vietnam's national textbook for Grade 10 students.
