Treat sudden onset of evil qi invasion, ghost strike (Guǐjī), or flying corpse (Fēishī) emergencies, where breath suddenly ceases and consciousness is lost, or the body has become rigid as if dead, with clenched jaws unable to open. In such cases, first pry open the teeth with a tool, then administer herbal decoction; if the medicine cannot be swallowed after entering the mouth, grasp the hair on both sides of the patient's head, press the shoulders, and pull the body. After the medicine enters, increase the dosage until one sheng (approx. 200ml) is consumed. Within a short time, the patient will awaken.
Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) [3 liang] Cinnamon Twig (Guixin, 桂心) [2 liang] Licorice Root (Gancao, 甘草) [1 liang] Apricot Seed (Xingren, 杏仁) [70 seeds]
Crush the above four herbs, boil in 8 sheng (approx. 1600ml) of water until reduced to 3 sheng (approx. 600ml). Divide into three doses. (Note: Zhang Zhongjing's formula does not use Guixin.)
For treating sudden ghost strike and injuries from weapons, where blood leaks into the abdomen and cannot exit, causing severe distension and impending death:
Realgar powder (Xionghuang, 雄黄), one dao gui (approx. 2-3g), taken with wine, three times daily, to transform blood into liquid for discharge.
Formula for Ghost Strike Disease:
Ghost strike disease arises without gradual warning, striking the person suddenly as if pierced by a knife. There is urgent, twisting pain in the chest, hypochondrium, and abdomen, intolerable to pressure. Symptoms may include immediate hematemesis (vomiting blood), bleeding from the mouth and nose, or lower gastrointestinal bleeding. It is also known as "Ghost Rearrangement" (Guǐpái).

Boil the above two ingredients in 7 sheng (approx. 1400ml) of wine until reduced to 3 sheng (approx. 600ml). Take hot. Sweating should occur shortly after. If sweating does not occur, apply heat using a heated ironing device to both hypochondriac regions until warm sweat appears, which leads to recovery.

Bury the body in the ash up to the body, exposing only the face and nose. Life returns.

Another formula: Invert a large steamer. Victim lies prone on it, mouth near the steamer opening. Burn seven bundles of reed fire inside the steamer, aiming smoke at the heart region. Smoke enters nostrils and mouth. When water drains from nose and mouth, life returns. Replenish fire as needed. Monitor temperature with hand; ensure warmth reaches the heart but not excessive heat. If no steamer, dig a pit shaped like a steamer on the bank, heat it, and place the victim. Alternatively, use a wheel hub. Ensure abdomen is not compressed, head is lowered for drainage. Cover with heated ash. Replace when wet.
Another formula: Bury the victim in warm ash, covering head and feet, leaving only the seven orifices open.

Formula for Winter Drowning with Cold Limbs and Clenched Jaws:
Heat ash in a large vessel, place in a bag, and apply to the heart. Replace when cool. When heart warmth circulates, eyes move, jaw opens. Feed warm rice gruel slowly. If the heart is not warmed first and fire is applied to the body, cold qi conflicts with fire, leading to death.
