[Agamidae / Slug-like Lizard]
Salty in flavor, cold in nature. Primarily treats hemiplegia caused by thief-wind (pathogenic wind invading the body), relaxed sinews, and rectal prolapse, as well as convulsions and spasms associated with fright-epilepsy. Also known as Lingli. Grows in ponds and marshes.
*Famous Physicians' Records* states: Also known as Tu Luo, also known as Fu Luo. Grows under sandy stone walls in mountains and shady places. Harvested in August.

"Luo" is also known as Hu Yu. *Guaya* states: "Liluo" refers to snails, which are also called Yu. *Classic of Mountains and Seas (Zhongshan Jing)* states: Qingyao Mountain is abundant in Pulei. Guo Pu comments: Pulei is a snail. *Rites of Zhou (Zhou Li)* mentions that the Turtle Man provides "Luo" for sacrifices. Zheng Xuan comments: "Luo" refers to slugs/snails. *Erya* states: "Luo" refers to slugs/snails. Guo Pu comments: It is indeed a snail. *Famous Physicians' Records* states that it should be listed separately under the Snail entry, which is incorrect. The old text uses "Kuo," but *Shuowen Jiezi* claims this character does not exist. According to *Yupian*, "Kuo" refers to Kuo Dong, indicating it is a variant of "Huo Dong"; therefore, it should be written as "Huo."

Those on walls are called Ting; those in grass are called Xi Yi, or written as [variant characters], or Rong She: physicians use them for conditions involving "zhu ming" (ringing/buzzing). *Guaya* states: Gejie, [variant characters], He, are all lizards. *Erya* states: Rongyuan is a lizard; Xi Yi is Ting; Ting [variant] is Shou Gong. *Book of Songs (Mao Shi)* states: Why are there Hui Yi? The Commentary states: Yi refers to Yuan.
