西蜀邓士鲁遇异人所授者。士鲁，四川资县人。城东有临郭庵，读书其中，一日见一
道士，与之谈，因言士鲁当贵，某年于山西某驿中相会。后士鲁为行人出
差山西，果于某驿会其人焉。士鲁询以生子之法，其人赠以此歌云云。今士鲁已连生十子矣。
交必胎男，生必成育，百发百中，真仙术也。末犹约于建业相会，不识士鲁后果会否，而六链
九链，长生飞越之法，惜乎其未闻。
天地闭，万物匝。男女秘，百嗣发。闭秘之法不可传，传之匪人天必罚。（闭者，闭藏之义。
在天地如冬时气化，蓄藏不施；在人如固闭精气，一不妄泄，故万物百嗣，生育之多也。此二
仪阖辟之机，品物流形之妙，天人感通，生成一道。上达自能心悟，下士不可言传。）
左右掌连心，心火暗能达。分主客，各相擦。（言手心与心脉相通，右手掌擦左手心，
则左为主，而右为客；左手掌擦右手心，则右为主，而左为客，此乃运火与脐之术。心火归脐，
与肾相接，合和而不走，则坎离交媾，真元自固，而谷神可灵矣。夫谷神者，虚而能应，感而遂
通者也。谷神灵则剑气劲；谷神弱则剑气锋痿。此男女相感，气机发动。自然之妙。）
数用重阴六十八，须知十减四七五。（此相擦之数也。如一遍六十八，二遍五十八，三遍四十八，
四遍三十八，五遍二十八，是擦以十减，五遍降序至四七之数也；其遍至七八九遍，皆擦二十八遍而止。）
莫教火候过离下。（离属心，离下则属肾矣。言不可使火太过，反动精也。）
一擦一度伏脐间，九九老阳互相压，又知九息上增九，八十一息纯乾卦。（言擦一次即将
手伏压脐中，令热气入脐中，鼻中呼吸每次九息，是息以九增，如一遍九息，二遍十八，三遍二十七，
九遍渐增至八十一息也。干数用九，九九则为纯干之卦。心火属阴，故擦用重阴；肾气属阳，故
息取老阳。其法于子后入室，盘坐良久，心定气平，以左手仰置左膝上，用右手心擦之六十八
遍，即以左手心伏于脐间，而以右手压于左手之上，鼻中呼吸九息，用意存想，使息息归脐，
此第一度。却以右手仰至右膝上，用左手心擦之减十遍，即五十八遍，即以右手心伏于脐间，而以
左手压于右手之上，鼻中呼吸增九息，成一十八息，亦用意存想，使息息归脐，此第二度。以后，
左右换手，上下伏压，存想俱同，但擦以十减，息以九增，共九度而足。如此四十九日，祖气足，
方可取鼎。）
春夏秋冬名四时，二十四气尸生化。三五七九夺气机，一夺一吸深取之，周而复始天不达。
（此房中之术，言采夺女之气之机也。三五七九皆阳数，言与女交时，但至四数皆深入其中，
上以鼻吸，下以胁提，而夺取之，使女之气过我也。周而复始者，三五七九既毕，而又再从三
起也。周天之数，三百六十，三五七九，共二十四数，以合二十四气。交时先仰行六遍，每遍
二十四，得数百四十有四。后合行九遍，每遍亦二十四，得二百一十有六，共成三百六十，
以合周天之数。此妙理也，非仙莫悟。仰合即天地否泰，男女上下，互相迭施之道，非梦漫
真人，不足以语此云。）
坎水常胜离，离火易焚灭。仙草占先春，得阳阴复结，浓煎湿注参仙诀。
离火才欲燃，满口莫入咽。漱无声，吐无决。暖席取溺壶，徐将肝火泻。心慵作曝蟆，
虚脊凡七跌。功成敌万人，真元莫浪泄。（离火易焚者，言男子之精易动，待其将动之时，即
将浓浓温茗，满口含之，缓漱慢吐，不可使耳闻之。又取夜壶小便，以泻肝火。又作虾蟆
仰曝之状，以两足两手着床席，举脊向上跌，凡七次，则精即上升而不走矣。）
要算坎水潮生月，信进我退投，信遏我进接，一二链法不可缺。更有一言只须说，左男
右女肩间截。（言遇女子癸水生时，必俟其三日潮退，方与之交合。一二炼法指夺气机等法
而言。左男右女肩间截者，此生男之诀也。女人怀胎，在左为男，在右为女。男子将泄之
精，必要向女子偏左射之，仍以手向女子左肩立砍一掌，即女子左边气即上缩，精随入左，
必胎男矣。）
此是多男三炼法，六炼可长生，九炼能飞越，约尔他年逢建业。（阴阳妙，二气之运，
坎离八卦之门，天地之大，尽于是焉。天地生人物之散殊，亦尽于是焉。故离火易燃，坎水易
竭，阴阳动静，杂揉不齐，真元不固，谷神不灵矣。兹三链法，《易》谓∶天地 ，万物
化醇，非耶？天人合一，余恐是法将若六链九链没没而无传也，故嘱之梓。威凤山人书于三

This is a method received by Deng Shilu from Western Sichuan from an extraordinary person. Shilu was a native of Ziyang, Sichuan. There was Lingguo Nunnery east of the city where he studied; one day he met a Daoist priest and conversed with him. The priest said that Shilu would attain nobility and predicted they would meet at a certain post station in Shanxi in a specific year. Later, when Shilu traveled to Shanxi as an envoy on official business, he indeed met that person at the mentioned post station. Shilu asked him about the method for begetting sons, and the person gifted him this song. Now Shilu has already consecutively fathered ten sons. Intercourse will certainly result in male fetuses, and children born will surely survive and grow up; it is hundred percent effective, truly a celestial art. At the end, there was still an appointment to meet in Jianye; it is unknown whether Shilu eventually kept the appointment, and the methods of six links and nine links for longevity and flight are, unfortunately, unheard of by me.
When Heaven and Earth close, all things are full. When men and women keep secrets, hundreds of descendants emerge. The method of closing and keeping secret cannot be transmitted; if transmitted to the wrong person, Heaven will punish. ("Closing" means storing and hiding. In Heaven and Earth, it is like the Qi transformation in winter, accumulating and storing without dispensing; in humans, it is like firmly closing Jing (Essence) and Qi, never leaking wantonly, thus resulting in abundant things and many descendants. This is the mechanism of opening and closing of Yin and Yang, the wonder of the flow and formation of all beings, the mutual influence between Heaven and Humanity, and the unity of generation. Those above can naturally comprehend with their hearts, while those below cannot be taught through words.)
The left and right palms connect to the Heart; Heart Fire can secretly reach. Distinguish host and guest, rub each other. (This means the palm connects to the Heart meridian. Rubbing the right palm against the left makes the left the host and the right the guest; rubbing the left palm against the right makes the right the host and the left the guest. This is the technique of guiding Fire to the navel. When Heart Fire returns to the navel and connects with Kidney, merging harmoniously without escaping, Kan and Li interact, True Yuan naturally solidifies, and Gu Shen becomes spiritual. Gu Shen refers to that which is empty yet responsive, and connected upon sensing. When Gu Shen is spiritual, Sword Qi is strong; when Gu Shen is weak, Sword Qi is flaccid and withered. This is the natural wonder of mutual attraction between men and women and the movement of Qi mechanism.)
Use the number sixty-eight for heavy Yin; know to subtract four, seven, five. (This refers to the number of rubs. For example, the first round is sixty-eight times, the second is fifty-eight, the third forty-eight, the fourth thirty-eight, the fifth twenty-eight. This is subtracting ten each time, descending to the number of four-seven after five rounds; for the seventh, eighth, and ninth rounds, stop at twenty-eight rubs.)
Do not let the fire heat exceed below Li. (Li belongs to the Heart; below Li pertains to the Kidney. It means do not let the Fire become excessive, otherwise it will disturb the Essence.)
One rub, one degree, press down between the navels; Nine-Nine Old Yang mutually press; also know nine breaths increase by nine upwards, eighty-one breaths form pure Qian hexagram. (It means after one rub, press the hand down over the navel, letting heat enter the navel. Breathing through the nose, each time nine breaths; this increases by nine. For example, round one is nine breaths, round two eighteen, round three twenty-seven, gradually increasing to eighty-one breaths by round nine. Qian uses the number nine; Nine-Nine forms the pure Qian hexagram. Heart Fire is Yin, so rubbing uses heavy Yin numbers; Kidney Qi is Yang, so breathing takes Old Yang numbers. The method is performed after Zi hour, entering the room, sitting cross-legged for a long time until the mind is calm and Qi is peaceful. Place the left hand palm-up on the left knee, rub with the right palm sixty-eight times, then place the left palm over the navel and press with the right hand. Breathe nine breaths through the nose, using intention to visualize every breath returning to the navel. This is the first degree. Then place the right hand palm-up on the right knee, rub with the left palm reducing by ten times (i.e., fifty-eight times), then place the right palm over the navel and press with the left hand. Breathe increasing by nine breaths, totaling eighteen breaths, again visualizing every breath returning to the navel. This is the second degree. Afterwards, switch hands left and right, press up and down, visualization remains the same, but rubs decrease by ten and breaths increase by nine, completing nine degrees. Doing this for forty-nine days, Ancestral Qi becomes sufficient, and one may then proceed to take the tripod.)
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter are named Four Seasons; Twenty-Four Solar Terms govern birth and transformation. Three, Five, Seven, Nine seize the Qi mechanism; one seizure, one inhalation, take deeply; cycle repeats, Heaven's way is unfathomable. (This is Fangzhong [bedchamber] art, referring to the mechanism of seizing and inhaling the woman's Qi. Three, Five, Seven, Nine are all Yang numbers. It means during intercourse with a woman, only when reaching these four numbers go deep inside, inhale with the nose above, lift with the ribs below, to seize it, making the woman's Qi surpass mine. "Cycle repeats" means after finishing Three, Five, Seven, Nine, start again from Three. The number of Zhou Tian is three hundred and sixty; Three, Five, Seven, Nine total twenty-four numbers, corresponding to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms. Before intercourse, perform lying-on-back movements six times, twenty-four per round, totaling one hundred and forty-four. Then perform combined movements nine times, twenty-four per round, totaling two hundred and sixteen, summing to three hundred and sixty, matching the Zhou Tian number. This is a profound principle, understood only by immortals. Lying-on-back and combining refer to the interaction of Heaven and Earth Pi and Tai, men and women upper and lower, alternating application. Without Meng Man Zhenren, one cannot discuss this.)
Kan Water often defeats Li; Li Fire easily burns out. Immortal grass occupies early spring; obtaining Yang and Yin结 (knots/combines), decoct thickly, wet pour, consult immortal secrets.
Just as Li Fire desires to burn, fill the mouth but do not swallow. Rinse silently, spit without decision. Warm the mat, fetch the urinal, slowly drain Liver Fire. Lazy heart like a sun-baked frog, void spine falls seven times. Success rivals ten thousand men, True Yuan must not be wasted or leaked. (The phrase "Li Fire easily burns" means male Essence moves easily. Wait until it is about to move, then hold strong warm tea in the mouth, rinse slowly and spit slowly, ensuring no sound is heard. Also take night urine to drain Liver Fire. Assume the posture of a frog sunning itself upside down, placing both feet and hands on the bed/mat, lifting the spine upward and falling, seven times in total, so Essence rises instead of leaking.)
Calculate the month when Kan Water tide rises; advance when I retreat, retreat when I advance, One-Two refinement methods cannot be lacking. More is just one word to say: Left Male, Right Female, cut between shoulders. (It means encountering when the woman's Gui Water arises, wait for her tide to recede for three days before intercourse. "One-Two refinement methods" refers to techniques like seizing Qi. "Left Male, Right Female, cut between shoulders" is the secret for begetting males. When a woman conceives, left side yields male, right side yields female. When the man is about to ejaculate, the sperm must be directed slightly to the woman's left, and simultaneously strike her left shoulder with the hand. The Qi on the woman's left side contracts upward, sperm enters left, certainly resulting in a male fetus.)
This is the Three Refinements Method for Many Sons; Six Refinements allow Longevity, Nine Refinements enable Flight, appointing you to meet in Jianye in future years. (Yin and Yang are subtle, the operation of Two Qi, the gate of Kan, Li, and Eight Trigrams. The vastness of Heaven and Earth lies entirely here. The differentiation of beings generated by Heaven and Earth also lies entirely here. Thus Li Fire burns easily, Kan Water exhausts easily; Yin-Yang movement and stillness are mixed and uneven, True Yuan is not solid, Gu Shen is not spiritual. These three refinements, as the *I Ching* says: "Heaven and Earth interact, all things transform purely," is this not true? Heaven and Humanity united, I fear this method might vanish like Six and Nine Refinements without transmission, so I instruct its printing. Wei Feng Shan Ren wrote this on the sea of Sanshan.)
