雷公云∶黑虎身小黑，觜脚小斑。
若使黑虎，即和头、尾、皮、爪，并阴干，酒浸三日，漉出，焙干用。
雷公云∶凡使，勿用青、黄、苍色者，要用白如银色者。
凡欲使，先于屋下以地掘一坑，可深一尺二寸，按蛇皮于中，一宿，至卯时出，用醋浸
一时，于火上炙干用之。
雷公云∶凡使，勿用五色者，兼大身、上有刺毛生者；并薄小者。以上并不堪用。凡欲
用，要在屋西面有网、身小尻大、腹内有苍黄脓者，真也。
凡用，去头、足了，研如膏，投入药中用。
雷公云∶凡使，收得后，用糯米水浸一宿，至明漉出，以无灰酒浸一日，至夜漉出，焙
令干后，细切。取蜀椒、并糯米及切了蚯蚓三件同熬之，待糯米熟，去米、椒了，拣净用之
凡修事二两，使米一分、椒一分为准。
雷公云∶凡使，勿用千足虫，真似，只是头上有白肉，面并觜尖。若误用，并把着，腥
臭气入顶，致死。
夫使蜈蚣，先以蜈蚣、木末，不然用柳 末，于土器中炒，令木末焦黑后，去木末了，
用竹刀刮去足、甲了用。
雷公云∶凡使，须认雄、雌。若雄为蛤，皮粗口大，身小尾粗；雌为蚧，口尖，身大尾
小。男服雌，女服雄。
凡修事服之，去甲上、尾上并腹上肉毛。毒在眼。如斯修事了，用酒浸，才干，用纸两
重，于火上缓隔焙纸炙，待两重纸干，焦透后，去纸，取蛤蚧于瓷器中盛，于东舍角畔悬一
宿，取用，力可十倍。
勿伤尾，效在尾也。
雷公说：黑虎（蟾蜍）身体黑色较小，嘴和脚上有小斑点。
如果要使用黑虎，就将头、尾、皮、爪一起阴干，用酒浸泡三天，捞出，焙干后使用。
雷公说：凡是使用（蛤蟆），不要用青色、黄色、苍色的，要用白得像银子颜色的。
凡是想要使用，先在屋檐下在地上挖一个坑，大约深一尺二寸，把蛇皮铺在坑中，放置一夜，到第二天卯时取出，用醋浸泡一个时辰，在火上烤干后使用。
雷公说：凡是使用（蚯蚓），不要用五颜六色的，以及身体大、身上长有刺毛的；还有又薄又小的。以上这些都不堪使用。凡是想要用的，关键在于屋子西面有网、身体小屁股大、腹内有苍黄色脓液的，才是真的。
凡是使用，去掉头和足，研磨成膏状，投入药中使用。
雷公说：凡是使用（蜈蚣），采收之后，用糯米水浸泡一夜，到第二天早上捞出，用无灰酒浸泡一天，到晚上捞出，焙干后，细细切碎。取蜀椒、糯米以及切好的蚯蚓三样东西一同熬制，等到糯米熟了，去掉米和椒，拣选干净后使用。凡是修整二两药材，以一分米、一分椒为标准。
雷公说：凡是使用，不要用千足虫（马陆），长得真像蜈蚣，只是头上有白肉，脸和嘴尖。如果误用了，只要拿着它，腥臭气冲入头顶，会导致死亡。
如果要使用蜈蚣，先用蜈蚣、木屑，或者用柳末，在土器中炒，直到木屑炒得焦黑后，去掉木屑，用竹刀刮去足、甲后使用。
雷公说：凡是使用，必须辨认雄、雌。如果是雄性叫“蛤”，皮粗糙口大，身体小尾巴粗；雌性叫“蚧”，口尖，身体大尾巴小。男性服用雌性，女性服用雄性。
凡是修整好服用，去掉甲上、尾上以及腹上的肉毛。毒性在眼睛处。像这样修整好后，用酒浸泡，才干，用两层纸，在火上隔着纸慢慢焙烤炙烧，等到两层纸干了，焦透后，去掉纸，取蛤蚧放在瓷器中盛放，在东屋角落悬挂一夜，取用时，药效可增强十倍。
不要伤到尾，药效在于尾部。
Lei Gong said: The Heihu (Bufo melanostictus, black tiger toad) has a small black body with small spots on its beak and feet.
If one wishes to use the Heihu, combine the head, tail, skin, and claws, dry them in the shade, soak them in wine for three days, strain them out, bake them until dry, and then use them.
Lei Gong said: In general usage, do not use those that are green, yellow, or grayish; only use those that are white like silver.
To prepare it, first dig a pit about one chi and two cun deep under the eaves of a house, place snake skin at the bottom, leave it overnight, and retrieve it at Mao hour (5-7 AM). Soak it in vinegar for one shi (two hours), roast it over fire until dry, and then use it.
Lei Gong said: In general usage, do not use those that are multicolored, nor those that are large with bristles growing on their bodies, nor those that are thin and small. None of these above are suitable for use. To identify the true specimen, look for those found near nets on the west side of the house, with a small body, large hindquarters, and containing grayish-yellow pus inside the abdomen.
When using, remove the head and feet, grind into a paste, and add to the medicinal mixture.
Lei Gong said: After harvesting, soak the earthworms (Qiu Yin) in rice water overnight. Strain them out the next morning, soak them in non-ashy wine for one day, strain them out at night, bake until dry, and cut finely. Take Sichuan pepper (Shu Jiao), glutinous rice, and the cut earthworms, and simmer them together. When the glutinous rice is cooked, remove the rice and pepper, select the clean worms, and use them. For every two liang of preparation, use one part rice and one part pepper as the standard.
Lei Gong said: Do not use the thousand-legged worm (Peripatus, mahu chong), which resembles the centipede but has white flesh on its head and a pointed face and beak. If mistakenly used and held, its foul odor entering the top of the head can cause death.
To process the centipede (Wu Gong), stir-fry it with wood dust or willow powder in an earthenware vessel until the wood dust turns charred black. Remove the wood dust, scrape off the legs and claws with a bamboo knife, and then use it.
Lei Gong said: One must distinguish between male and female. The male is called "Ge," characterized by rough skin, a large mouth, a small body, and a thick tail. The female is called "Jie," characterized by a pointed mouth, a large body, and a small tail. Men should consume the female, and women should consume the male.
After processing, remove the fleshy hairs from the shell, tail, and abdomen. The toxicity resides in the eyes. After such processing, soak in wine, dry, wrap in two layers of paper, and slowly roast over fire through the paper. When the two layers of paper are dry and thoroughly scorched, remove the paper, store the Gejie in a porcelain vessel, hang it in the corner of the eastern room overnight, and when used, its efficacy will be ten times greater.
Do not damage the tail, as the efficacy lies in the tail.
