Carrying a turtle while traveling, even when entering deep mountains in uninhabited areas, upon reaching a three-way intersection, place the turtle down and follow its direction of movement; one will naturally not lose their way.
Write the characters "I am a ghost" (Wo Shi Gui) on the palm of the left hand using the middle finger of the right hand, then clench the fist tightly; one will naturally feel no fear. This method was transmitted by Huang Danweng.
In remote places such as waterways, land routes, isolated villages, and wild riverbanks, there are thieves who use stupefying incense. If one is slightly unprepared, they may be rendered unconscious and robbed completely. Before going to sleep, holding rock sugar (sand sugar or slab sugar is also acceptable) in the mouth, or holding licorice root (Gancao), can prevent this. If accidentally swallowed, one must continue to hold it in the mouth. Scatter white powder [text incomplete/erroneous in original] around door frames and window cracks. Additionally, wearing bright realgar (Xiong Huang, specifically large pieces) on the head or tied under the left armpit while sleeping can also ward off evil.
Furthermore, in crowded inns with few rooms, it is common for corpses that have not yet been buried to be hidden under beds; one should inspect carefully.
For those suffering from dizziness and vomiting while boating, sincerely pray at a Tianhou Palace (Mazu Temple) or shrines dedicated to River Gods and Water Gods when the boat sets sail, which will bring peace. Drinking child's urine (Tongbian) is most effective, or drinking白沙糖水 (Baisha Tangshui / White Sand Sugar Water) is also acceptable. Alternatively, collect water drops dripping from the bamboo pole used for poling the boat into a bowl, mix with boiling water, and drink; this is also effective.
Another prescription: Upon disembarking, hide a piece of Zaoxin Tu (Dustman Earth / Hearth Soil) in one's hair without letting others know, which ensures safety. Or write the character "Earth" (Tu) on the palm of the hand; one will not feel fearful while boating, based on the principle that earth controls water. For those suffering from motion sickness and vomiting, drinking child's urine is also best, or drinking Baisha Tangshui is acceptable.
Write the character "Yu" (Yu) in cinnabar (Zhusha) on yellow paper and wear it on the person; one will remain safe. This method was transmitted by Huang Danweng.
Regarding the use of stupefying drugs, whether carried on the person or bribed to be passed through runners or eunuchs, extra vigilance is required.
Print two seals with cinnabar ink on yellow paper. First, clean the seal with soapberry water to remove oil. Stick one seal on the back of the prisoner and the other on the chest. Administer decoction made from mung beans (Lvdou) for the prisoner to drink to break the spell; this is very effective.
Another method: Unexpectedly strike the practitioner with a thin bamboo strip, or interrogate them suddenly in the quiet night, catching them off guard, which can also break the spell. There are also cases where qi is expelled through the ears, nose, and anus; blocking these orifices will cause the spell to fail.
