Five Absolute Deaths refer to death by hanging, falling from a height, death during sleep paralysis (nightmare), drowning, and crushing by heavy objects. People often face such disasters suddenly and hastily, making rescue usually impossible. However, in these cases, the functions of the five Zang organs have not yet completely ceased; it is an unjust death caused by external trauma. Their souls remain guarding beside the corpse, not far away. If spiritual arts are used to summon the soul, the soul can attach to the body, and life can be restored. I transmit a divine talisman: first write it on yellow paper, burn it into hot yellow wine until dissolved, pry open the jaw, and pour it into the throat. Then, dissolve a medicinal pill, also mix with yellow wine, let the person hold the liquid in their mouth, and use a scallion tube to guide it into the throat of the deceased. After a short while, they will revive. The style of the soul-summoning talisman is shown in the figure (no incantation). When writing the talisman, one must focus entirely on Lei Zhenjun (Thunder True Lord) and Tianyi Shizhe (Heavenly Doctor Envoy). It will naturally be incredibly effective. The pill is named Jiuexue Xiandan (Immortal Pill for Saving Absolute Deaths). Shan Yang Xue (Blood of Capra Hircus) 2 qian, Chang Pu (Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii) 2 qian, Ren Shen (Radix Ginseng) 3 qian, Hong Hua (Flos Carthami Tinctorii) 1 qian, Zao Jiao Ci (Spina Gleditsiae Sinensis) 1 qian, Ban Xia (Rhizoma Pinelliae Ternatae) 3 qian, Zhi Su Ye (Prepared Folium Perillae) 2 qian, She Xiang (Moschus) 1 qian. Each is ground into fine powder; honey is used to form pills the size of a longan seed, taken after dissolving in wine. It is best to prepare this pill on the Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu Day); if prepared temporarily without sufficient ingredients, one-tenth of the amount suffices. This prescription is extremely miraculous, surpassing even that of Zhenren Qin. Prepare the medicines in leisure time and refine a batch; it can save many lives. If waiting until the emergency arises, it will be too late. This prescription not only saves those with Five Absolute Deaths but can also be administered to anyone who faints or collapses suddenly due to evil influences, bringing them back from the dead.

Lei Gong Zhenjun (True Lord of the Thunder God) said: Among people in the world, those who have ingested arsenic poisoning, where the five Zang organs feel as if tearing apart, will certainly suffer severe abdominal pain, protrude their tongues, bleed from the eyes, and die. It is most pitiable. The prescription uses Xiedu Shendan (Divine Pill for Draining Poison): Da Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) 2 liang, Sheng Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Uralensis Preparata) 5 qian, Bai Fan (Alumen) 1 liang, Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) 3 liang. Decoct in water to make several bowls of soup and drink. Immediate profuse diarrhea will lead to survival; otherwise, death ensues. Since the arsenic poison has entered the Zang organs, it cannot be cured by inducing vomiting using sheep blood and raw licorice root. Therefore, I employ a purgative method to save them. If, after drinking, there is no diarrhea, the intestines have already ruptured, and what is there to save? If used early, recovery is certain. One must not rigidly adhere to the emetic method without flexibility. If arsenic poison was just ingested, nothing is better than using 3 liang of raw licorice root, rapidly decocted into soup, mixed with half a bowl of sheep blood, and drunk. Immediate vomiting will lead to recovery. If vomiting does not occur after ingestion, quickly use the prescription containing Da Huang, and there is no case that cannot be saved.
