脉∶乍疏乍数、乍大乍小，或促或结，皆邪脉也；脉紧而急者遁尸。
丹溪曰∶俗云冲恶者，谓冲斥邪恶鬼崇而病也。如此病者，未有不因气血先亏而致者焉
。血气者，心之神也。神既衰乏，邪因而入，理或有之。按此恐指山谷狐魅而言。若夫气血
两虚，痰滞心胸，妨碍升降，不得营运，以致十二官各失其职，视听言动皆为虚。妄以邪治
之，其人必死，可不审乎?
秦承祖灸鬼法 治一切惊狂谵妄、逾垣上屋、骂詈不避亲疏等症。以病者两手大拇指用
细麻绳扎缚定，以大艾炷置于其中两介甲及两指角肉，四处着火。一处不着即无效。灸七壮
，神效。
辟邪丹 治冲恶怪疾及山谷间九尾狐狸精为患。
人参 茯苓 远志 鬼箭 九节菖蒲 白术 苍术 当归（各一两） 桃奴（即桃树上不落
者，十二月收者，焙干，五钱） 雄黄（另研） 辰砂（另研，各三钱） 牛黄（另研，一钱） 金箔（二
十片） 或加麝香（一钱）
上并以桃奴已上诸药为细末，入雄黄、辰砂、牛黄三味末子和匀，以酒调米粉打糊为丸
，如龙眼大，金箔为衣。临卧以木香汤化下一丸，诸邪不敢近体；更以绛纱囊盛五、七丸悬
床帐中，尤妙。
有人得病之初，便谵言或发狂，六部无脉。然切大指之下、寸口之上，却有动脉者，此
谓之鬼脉，乃邪崇为之也。不用服药，但宜符咒治之，或从俗送鬼神亦可。
Pulse: Alternating between slow and rapid, large and small, or surging (Cu) or knotted (Jie), these are all pulses of evil spirits; a pulse that is tight and rapid indicates Dunshi (Escaping Corpse).
Danxi stated: What the common people call "Chong'e" (Clashing with Evil) refers to illness caused by being clashed against by evil ghosts and malevolent influences. Such patients invariably suffer from this because their Qi and Blood were deficient beforehand. Qi and Blood are the essence of the Heart's Spirit (Shen). If the Spirit has already declined and become depleted, it is plausible that evil pathogens enter thereby. However, upon inspection, this likely refers to the influence of mountain foxes or demons. If both Qi and Blood are deficient, and phlegm stagnates in the chest and heart, obstructing the ascending and descending mechanisms and preventing normal circulation, causing the Twelve Officials (Zang-Fu organs) to lose their respective functions, resulting in vision, hearing, speech, and movement becoming delusional and false, then treating it as an evil possession will certainly lead to death. Can one not be cautious?
Qin Chengzu's Moxibustion Method for Ghosts: Treats all conditions such as fright, mania, delirious speech, climbing over walls, scaling roofs, cursing without distinguishing between relatives and strangers. Tie the patient's two thumbs firmly with thin hemp rope. Place large moxa cones on the four points: the two nail angles and the fleshy areas at the corners of the two fingers. Ignite fire at all four locations. If any location does not catch fire, it is ineffective. Moxa seven Zhuang (units of moxibustion); miraculous effect.
Bixie Dan (Evil-Repelling Pill): Treats illnesses caused by clashing with evil spirits and strange diseases, as well as afflictions by nine-tailed fox spirits in mountain valleys.
Ingredients: Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Yuan Zhi (Polygalae Radix), Gui Jian (Ardisiae Caulifloris Fructus), Jiu Jie Chang Pu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (each 1 liang), Tao Nu (Unfallen Peach Fruit, harvested in December, dried, 5 qian), Xiong Huang (Realgar, ground separately), Chen Sha (Cinnabar, ground separately) (each 3 qian), Niu Huang (Calculus Bovis, ground separately) (1 qian), Jin Bo (Gold Leaf) (20 pieces), optionally add She Xiang (Moschus) (1 qian).
Grind all the above herbs except Tao Nu into fine powder. Mix evenly with the powders of Realgar, Cinnabar, and Calculus Bovis. Use wine to mix rice flour paste to form pills, sized like longan fruits, coated with gold leaf. At bedtime, dissolve one pill in Mu Xiang Tang (Machuel Decoction) and take orally; various evils will dare not approach the body. Furthermore, place five to seven pills in a crimson gauze pouch and hang them in the bed canopy, which is especially excellent.
Some patients, at the onset of illness, speak deliriously or go mad, with no pulse detectable in the six positions (Cun, Guan, Chi on both hands). However, when palpating below the thumb and above the Cun Kou (Radial Pulse), there is indeed a pulsating artery. This is called "Ghost Pulse," caused by evil spirits. Medication is unnecessary; only talismans and spells should be used, or following custom to send away gods and ghosts is also acceptable.
