The *Lu Yan Fang* (Recorded Verified Prescriptions), cited from the *Jiu Yao* (Nine Medicines), states: The *Ru Jun Wan* (Army-Entering Pill) is primarily used to ward off weapons, crossbows, arrows, and various blades, preventing them from causing injury. If one enters mountains or marshes, it can repel tigers, wild wolves, and venomous insects. It is also a prescription for merchants carrying valuable goods to travel in and out, protecting them from wicked individuals.
Ingredients: Xionghuang (Realgar, 3 liang), Shi (Stone, 2 liang, processed by firing), Fanshi (Alum Stone, 2 liang, calcined), Guijian (Armillaria Root/Arrow Wood, 1 liang), Xiongbing [Male Handle/Penis? (1 fen, note: burned until charred)], Yangjiao (Sheep Horn, 1.5 fen), Zaozhong Hui (Ash from the stove, 2 fen).
These seven substances are crushed, sifted, and mixed uniformly. They are combined with egg yolk and the blood of a red rooster's comb to form pills the size of apricot kernels. One pill is placed in a crimson silk pouch and tied behind the left elbow to ward off weapons, tigers, wild wolves, and thieves. When joining the army, carry this medicine, tying it to the arm or placing it at the waist, ensuring it never leaves your side. For those residing at home, apply the medicine to the door to ward off disasters and calamities; applying it to the hall and doors of the house prevents evil ghosts from approaching. If bitten by a snake or stung by a bee, apply one pill to the wound, and relief will be immediate. This has been tested multiple times with verified results.
The *Ling Qi Fang* (Spiritual Wonder Prescription) states: On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, take a branch five cun long from the southwest-facing side of a parasol tree (*Firmiana simplex*), shape it into a human figure, add two eels (*Eurycea* sp.), wrap them in colorful cloth, tie them to the arm, and you will not fear stray arrows when entering military camps.
Another prescription: Equal parts of Yunmu (Muscovite/Mica), Fanshi (Alum Stone), and Cishi (Magnetite) are ground together and boiled to make a decoction. Bathing in this decoction protects against weapons.
The *Yan Shou Chi Shu* (Yellow Book of Longevity) states: When traveling at night, one should strike the "Heavenly Drum" without limit on the number of strikes, which wards off a hundred ghosts and evil spirits.
(Note: Current research indicates: The *Da Qing Jing* (Great Pure Scripture) states: The Heavenly Drum refers to the teeth, also known as Wan. It records: Zong Dingbo was walking at night and encountered a ghost. He asked, "I am a new ghost and do not know the laws of ghosts. What do ghosts fear?" The ghost replied, "We only fear human saliva." Dingbo then carried the ghost on his shoulders. In the middle of the journey, the ghost cried out asking to be put down, but Dingbo refused. At dawn, he put the ghost down, and it immediately transformed into a sheep. Fearing it might change shape again, Dingbo spat on it, and sold it for fifteen hundred coins.
The *Bao Pu Zi* (Master Who Embraces Simplicity) states: Ancient Daoist practitioners who entered mountains always hung a bright mirror, nine cun or more in diameter, on their backs, enabling them to recognize all kinds of evil spirits and illusions.
It also records: There is a pavilion at the foot of Linlu Mountain inhabited by a ghost. Anyone staying there either dies or falls ill. Later, a man named Boyi passed by and stayed overnight. Sitting by lamplight and chanting scriptures, at midnight, over ten people came and sat opposite Boyi to play Chupu (a board game). Boyi secretly used a mirror to reflect them and saw they were actually a pack of dogs. Boyi then used a candle to burn the clothes of the visitors, creating the smell of burnt hair. Holding a small knife hidden in his bosom, Boyi grabbed one person and stabbed him. Initially emitting human cries, the victim died and turned into a dog, while the rest of the dogs fled. This demonstrates the power of the mirror.
It also records: Once, Zhang Hetazi and Ou Haocheng cultivated diligently in a stone chamber on Lingtai Mountain in Shu. Suddenly, a person wearing a yellow single-layer garment approached and said, "Have you labored? Daoists, you have endured hardship in this secluded place." The two looked into their mirror and saw it was a deer. They asked, "You are an old deer in the grass, why disguise yourself as a human?" The visitor immediately reverted to a deer and ran away.
It also records: Ghosts and demons know human forms; if called by name, they dare not attack.
It also records: Mountain spirits resemble children but have only one foot, which faces backward. When attacking humans, its name is [missing character].
Large trees in the mountains that can speak have spirits called Yunyang, formed from seeing firelight on ancient dead wood. Seeing Hu people at night indicates the spirit of copper and iron. Seeing Qin people indicates the spirit of century-old trees.
It also records: In the mountains, on the Yin day, those calling themselves Yu Li are tigers; those calling themselves Dang Lu Jun are wild wolves; those calling themselves Ling Zhangzhe are civets.
On the Mao day, those calling themselves Zhangren are rabbits; those calling themselves Dong Wangfu are sika deer; those calling themselves Xi Wangmu are deer.
On the Chen day, those calling themselves Yushi are dragons; those calling themselves He Bo are fish; those calling themselves Xian Fu Gongzi are crabs.
On the Si day, those calling themselves Shijun are turtles; those calling themselves Guaren are snakes in the earth shrine.
On the Wu day, those calling themselves Sangong are horses; those calling themselves Xianren are old trees.
On the Wei day, those calling themselves Zhuren are sheep.
On the Shen day, those calling themselves Renjun are wild wolves; those calling themselves Jiuqing are monkeys.
On the You day, those calling themselves Jiangjun are old chickens; those calling themselves Zeibuzhe are pheasants.
On the Xu day, those calling themselves Renxing are dogs; those calling themselves Chengyang Wengzhong are foxes.
On the Hai day, those calling themselves Chenjun are pigs; those calling themselves Furenzi are gold and jade.
On the Zi day, those calling herself Shejun are rats; those calling themselves Laoshenren are bats.
On the Chou day, those calling themselves Qingsheng are jackals.
The *De Fugui Yan* (Words on Obtaining Wealth and Honor) states: The spirit of thunder and lightning is named Shan Ti; the spirit of the Great Way is named Qing; the spirit of great mountains is named Shanshan; the spirit of great marshes is named Weixie; the spirit of great trees is named Penghou; the spirit of empty rooms is named Caoyang.
The *Xu Qi Xiang Ji* (Continued Records of Strange Events) states: There is a spotted civet cat at the tomb of King Zhao of Yan. After many years, it gained the ability to transform. It changed into a scholar and asked the painted pillar (Huabiao) in front of the tomb, "With my talent and appearance, can I visit Grand Commandant Zhang?" The Huabiao replied, "Your subtle understanding is immeasurable, but you will surely suffer humiliation and death, losing not only your thousand-year body but also causing deep regret." The scholar did not listen, went to visit Hua Biao (or Zhang Simo, context implies a high official), where he appeared white as jade. They discussed the Three Histories and integrated the Hundred Schools of Thought. Hua Biao felt intellectually defeated and sighed, "How can such a young man exist in the world? If not a ghost or monster, then a fox." He ordered guards to watch closely. Lei Kongzhang said, "Dogs only know things of a few hundred years; they cannot distinguish thousand-year-old spirits. Only a thousand-year-old dead wood can reveal their true form when illuminated." The Huabiao in front of King Yan's tomb seemed to be a thousand years old. People were sent to cut it down, burn it, and use the flame to illuminate the scholar, revealing him to be a large old civet cat.
The *Xi Wangmu Yuke Wan Fang* (Prescription for Queen Mother of the West Jade Shell Pill) states: Place one pill on the head, and you will fear nothing while walking. Also: Wear one pill when visiting a mourning house to ward off a hundred ghosts. Also: If lodging alone in forests, marshes, or among tombs, burn one pill, and a hundred ghosts will flee. Also: Place one pill in a crimson pouch, hang it on the left arm for men and the right arm for women; mountain spirits and ghosts will fear it, etc.
