(Revised method for "killing cinnabar," using Xuanling Pi; pharmacopoeias do not list this name, it is likely Xuanling Pepper; Xiaojiao refers to Sichuan pepper.)
"Baihua covers the ground, Xuanling acts as the lid (referring to red Sichuan pepper); fire rises from Kun, once Zhusha is 'dead,' it ceases."
Finely grind 2 liang of cinnabar (Zhusha) and 2 liang of Xuanling Pi. Place them in a "Baihua" container. Follow the rhyme for usage. Burn with three measures of fire until completely consumed. First, seal the mouth of the container with glutinous rice and Chishizhi (Halloysit Rubra).
