云流水，来去自然。《诸病源候论》“卷二·风诸候”引《无生经》曰∶“治百病，邪鬼

晃，隆隆是形容雷电的巨声，晃晃是形容雷电的亮光。“如雷”也就是存想有隆隆晃晃的雷

【原文】方法一：突然左胁部疼痛，默念：“肝为青龙，左眼中的魂神，率领五营兵马，千军万马，跟随甲寅直符吏，进入左胁下祛除病邪。”
【解说】这段文字的大意是：突发左胁痛，可以默念：“肝为青龙……”，通过意念引导气机至左胁下，则疾病消除。文中的“青龙”、“魂神”、“率领五营兵马，千军万马，跟随甲寅直符吏”均为道家的隐语。下一段中的“白虎”、“魂神”、“甲申直符吏”等同理。此处不详加解释。
【原文】方法二：右胁部疼痛，默念：“肺为白虎，右眼中的魂神，率领五营兵马，千军万马，跟随甲申直符吏，进入右胁下祛除病邪。”侧卧，伸展手臂，伸直双腿，用鼻子吸气，用嘴巴呼气。可消除胁部皮肤疼痛，练习七次呼吸后停止。
【解说】右胁痛，可以默念：“肺为白虎……”，通过意念引导气机进入右胁下，则疾病消除。此外，采用侧身卧位，伸展手臂，伸直脚，用鼻吸气，从口出气，进行七次呼吸后停止。这样还可以消除胁部的皮肤疼痛。
【原文】方法三：端正坐姿，伸直腰背，向右后方注视月亮，用口吸气，吞咽三十次。可消除左胁痛。练习时要睁开眼睛。
【解说】正坐并伸直腰背，眼睛向右顾视月亮，用口吸气，吞咽气机三十次。可消除左胁痛。行功时要睁开眼睛。
【原文】方法四：举起双手交叉置于颈项上方相互握紧，用力至极。治疗胁下疼痛。坐在地面上，双手交叉手指紧握但不完全锁死，迅速向后拉拽。长期练习此法，可使身体结实如金刚。同时需调节呼吸，调息的要领是呼吸均匀而长，存想气息如风吹云般轻飘，如雷发作时的轰鸣巨响和亮光随呼吸进入腹中。

Method 1: In the event of sudden pain in the left hypochondrium, mentally recite: "The Liver is the Azure Dragon (Qinglong), the Soul Spirit (Hunshen) in the left eye leads the five camp troops, with thousands of chariots and ten thousand cavalry, following the Jia-Yin Zhi Fu Li (Official of Direct Command), entering beneath the left hypochondrium to remove the pathogen."
Explanation: The main idea of this passage is that for sudden left hypochondriac pain, one may mentally recite "The Liver is the Azure Dragon...", using intention to guide Qi to beneath the left hypochondrium, thereby eliminating the disease. The terms "Azure Dragon," "Soul Spirit," and "leading the five camp troops, with thousands of chariots and ten thousand cavalry, following the Jia-Yin Zhi Fu Li" are all Daoist esoteric language. The same applies to "White Tiger," "Soul Spirit," and "Jia-Shen Zhi Fu Li" in the subsequent paragraph. Detailed explanation is omitted here.
Method 2: For pain in the right hypochondrium, mentally recite: "The Lung is the White Tiger (Baihu), the Soul Spirit (Hunshen) in the right eye leads the five camp troops, with thousands of chariots and ten thousand cavalry, following the Jia-Shen Zhi Fu Li, entering beneath the right hypochondrium to remove the pathogen." Lie on your side, extend the arms, straighten the legs, inhale through the nose, and exhale through the mouth. This eliminates skin pain in the hypochondriac region; stop after seven breaths.
Explanation: For right hypochondriac pain, one may mentally recite "The Lung is the White Tiger...", using intention to guide Qi into beneath the right hypochondrium, thereby eliminating the disease. Additionally, adopt a lateral recumbent position, extend the arms, straighten the legs, inhale through the nose, and exhale through the mouth, ceasing after seven breaths. This can also eliminate skin pain in the hypochondriac area.
Method 3: Sit upright, straighten the waist and back, look backward to the right towards the moon, inhale through the mouth, and swallow thirty times. This eliminates left hypochondriac pain. Keep the eyes open during practice.
Explanation: Sit upright and straighten the waist and back, gaze to the right rear towards the moon, inhale through the mouth, and swallow the Qi thirty times. This eliminates left hypochondriac pain. Practice with eyes open.
Method 4: Raise both hands, cross them above the neck, and clasp tightly, exerting maximum force. This treats pain beneath the hypochondrium. Sit on the ground, cross the fingers of both hands, grip firmly but not completely locked, and pull back urgently. Long-term practice of this method makes the body solid as Vajra (Diamond). Simultaneously, regulate the breath; the key to breath regulation is that breathing should be even and long, visualizing the Qi drifting lightly like wind blowing clouds, or the roaring sound and light of thunder entering the abdomen with inhalation and exhalation.
Summary:
This section introduces Daoist Daoyin methods involving the mental recitation of mantras. Although the mantras carry superstitious elements, the Daoyin methods themselves possess a certain degree of scientific validity. Focused mental recitation of a few characters or a short phrase can induce single-minded concentration, dissolve distracting thoughts, reduce drowsiness, focus attention on the diseased site, and facilitate tranquility and relaxation. However, clinical practice suggests that the recited text should not be too long; excessive mental effort and difficulty coordinating with respiration may lead to head distension and headache, chest tightness and irritability, or rapid or obstructed breathing. Since this section involves reciting the mantra first and then regulating the breath, this sequence generally does not interfere with respiration. The requirement for "making the breath regulated, long, like clouds, like thunder" is highly correct. The basic respiratory requirement for Qigong practice is to make the breath "regulated, soft, fine, drawing out short pathological breaths and making them long." Soft and fine implies gentle and subtle movements, where the entry and exit of Qi resemble a silkworm spinning silk—continuous and unbroken—and like flowing clouds and water, natural in arrival and departure. *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Manifestations of All Diseases), Volume II, "Wind Syndromes," citing the *Wusheng Jing* (Scripture of Non-Birth), states: "To treat hundred diseases, evil ghosts, and gu poison. One should lie flat on the back, close the eyes and hold the breath, visualize inwardly at the Dantian, slowly inhale through the nose until the abdomen is extremely full, then slowly exhale through the mouth without making sound. Let the intake be abundant and the output minimal, performing it subtly... Also, visualize great lightning and thunder, rumbling and flashing, entering the abdomen. If practiced continuously, the disease will naturally disappear." Here, "visualize great lightning and thunder" means imagining great lightning and thunder whose sound and light enter the abdomen. "Longhuang" refers to rumbling and flashing; "longlong" describes the loud roar of thunder, and "huanghuang" describes its bright light. "Like thunder" thus means visualizing rumbling and flashing thunder entering the abdomen.
