李伪
称疾使邀之伺其至语之曰我几入鬼录赖君复生顾世间物无足以报德愿以此身供枕席之奉聂惊
惧趋而出迨夜李复盛饰而就之聂绝袖脱去乃止亦未尝与人言后岁余仪州推官黄靖国病阴吏逮
入冥症事且还行至河边见狱吏 一妇人剖其腹濯其肠而涤之傍有僧语曰此乃子同官某之妻也
欲与医者聂生通聂不许可谓善士其人寿止六十以此阴德遂延一纪仍世世赐子孙一人官妇人减
算如聂所增之数所以荡涤肠胃者除其淫也靖国素与聂善既苏密往访之聂惊曰方私语时无一人
闻者而奔来之夕吾独处室中此唯妇人与吾知尔君安所得闻靖国具以告聂死后一子登科其孙图
南绍兴中为汉中FS 县丞属仙井喻迪孺汝砺作隐德诗数百言以发潜德此不复载(夷坚志)
王居安秀才久苦痔疾闻萧山有善工力不能招致遂命舟自乌程走钱塘舍于静邸中使人迎医
医绝
江至杭既见欣然为治药饵且云请以五日为期可以除根本初以一药放下大肠数寸又以一药洗之
徐用药线结痔信宿痔脱其大如桃复以药饵调养数日遂安此工初无难色但放下大肠了方议报谢
之物病者知命悬其手尽许行橐所有为酬方肯治疗又玉山周仅调官京师旧患膀胱气外肾偏坠
有货药人云只立谈间可使之正约以万钱及三缣之报相次入室中施一针所苦果平周大喜即如数
负金帛而去后半月其疾如故使人访医者已不见矣古之贤人或在医卜之中今之医者急于声利率
用诡道以劫流俗殆与穴坯挟刃之徒无异予目击二事今书之以为世警(泊宅编)
仪州华亭人聂从志是一位医术高明的医生。县丞的妻子李氏病重垂死,经他治疗得以存活。李氏容貌美丽且生性淫荡,仰慕聂从志的相貌。后来有一天,县丞前往邻近郡县,李氏假装生病,派人邀请聂从志。等到聂从志到来时,李氏对他说:“我差点进入鬼门关,全靠您让我复活。只是世间万物不足以报答您的恩德,我愿以此身侍奉您的枕席之欢。”聂从志惊恐害怕,急忙退了出去。到了夜晚,李氏又盛装打扮来接近他,聂从志甩开袖子挣脱才得以停止。此事聂从志也从未对别人说过。
一年多后,仪州推官黄靖国患上阴症(指下部生殖器或泌尿生殖系统的疾病),灵魂被拘捕进入冥界。在阴间审理案件即将结束时,他走到河边,看见一名狱吏和一个妇人剖开他的肚子,清洗并洗涤他的肠子。旁边有一位僧人对他说:“这是你同僚某人的妻子,想与医生聂生发生关系,聂生不肯答应,称他为善士。因此他寿命本该只活到六十岁,因为这份阴德,寿命延长了一纪(十二年)。并且世世代代赐给他子孙一人做官。那妇人的寿命则减去与聂从志所增加寿命相等的数量。之所以要荡涤他的肠胃,是为了清除她的淫念。”黄靖国平时与聂从志交好,苏醒后秘密去拜访聂从志。聂从志惊讶地说:“当时私下说话时没有一个人听见,而那天晚上我独自在房中,只有那个妇人和我知道这件事,你怎么会知道?”黄靖国将经过详细告知。聂从志死后,有一个儿子考中进士,他的孙子聂图南在绍兴年间担任汉中风县丞。属仙井的喻迪孺汝砺写了几百首《隐德诗》来发掘这种潜藏的德行,这里不再赘述。(出自《夷坚志》)
秀才王居安长期苦于痔疮疾病,听说萧山有擅长此道的医生,但自己力量微薄无法请到他,于是乘船从乌程前往钱塘,住在静邸中,派人去迎接医生。医生渡过长江到达杭州,见面后欣然接受治疗。用药饵治疗,并说请以五天为期限,可以根除病源。起初用一种药将大肠放下数寸,又用一种药清洗,随后用药线结扎痔疮。过了两夜,痔疮脱落,大小如桃子。再用药物调养数日,病情遂安定。这位医生起初并没有为难的神色,只是等把下垂的大肠复位后才商议报酬之事。病人知道性命悬于一线,把手伸尽,许诺行囊中所有财物作为酬谢,医生才肯治疗。另外,玉山周仅调任京师,旧患膀胱气,外肾偏坠。有个卖药的人说只需片刻交谈就能使其复原,约定报酬为一万钱和三匹细绢。随即进入室内施一针,痛苦果然平复。周仅大喜,立即按数背负金帛离开。半个月后,疾病复发,派人寻找医生已不见踪影。古代的贤人有时混迹于医卜之中,现在的医者急于求名逐利,使用诡诈手段来劫持世俗风气,几乎与挖洞挟刃的歹徒无异。我亲眼目睹这两件事,现在记录下来以警示世人。(出自《泊宅编》)
Nie Congzhi, a native of Huating County, Yizhou, was an excellent physician. The wife of the county deputy magistrate, surnamed Li, fell critically ill and was near death; he treated her and she survived. Lady Li was beautiful and promiscuous, admiring Nie's appearance. One day, when the deputy magistrate traveled to a neighboring commandery, Lady Li feigned illness and sent for him. When Nie arrived, she told him, "I was on the verge of entering the realm of ghosts, relying on you to bring me back to life. However, nothing in this world is sufficient to repay your kindness. I wish to offer my body to serve you in bed." Nie was startled and frightened, hurriedly withdrew, and left. That night, Lady Li dressed up again to approach him, but Nie shook off his sleeves and broke away, thus stopping her advances. He never spoke of this incident to anyone.
Over a year later, Huang Jingguo, the judicial officer of Yizhou, suffered from a yin disorder (diseases of the lower genital or urinary reproductive system). His soul was detained and taken to the underworld. As the judgment proceedings were about to conclude, he walked to a riverbank where he saw a prison guard and a woman dissecting his abdomen, washing and cleansing his intestines. A monk standing nearby said, "This is the wife of one of your colleagues. She desired to have relations with the physician, Mr. Nie. Since Nie refused, calling him a virtuous man, his lifespan, which should have ended at sixty, has been extended by one ji (twelve years) due to this hidden virtue. Furthermore, for generations, one of his descendants will be granted an official position. The woman's lifespan has been reduced by the same amount that Nie gained. The reason for cleansing his intestines is to purify her lustful thoughts." Huang had previously been close friends with Nie. Upon recovering, he secretly visited Nie. Nie exclaimed, "When we spoke privately, no one else heard us. On that night, I was alone in my room; only you and I knew that matter. How could you possibly know?" Huang recounted everything in detail. After Nie's death, one of his sons passed the imperial examinations. His grandson, Nie Tunan, served as the deputy magistrate of Fengxian County in Hanzhong during the Shaoxing era. Yu Dilu Ruli from Xianjing wrote hundreds of poems titled "Hidden Virtue" to highlight such concealed moral conduct, which are not recorded here (from *Yijian Zhi*).
The scholar Wang Ju'an suffered long-term torment from hemorrhoids. Hearing of a skilled practitioner in Xiaoshan, but lacking the means to invite him personally, he took a boat from Wucheng to Qiantang and stayed at a quiet residence, sending someone to fetch the doctor. The doctor crossed the Yangtze River to Hangzhou. Upon meeting, he happily agreed to treat the patient. Using herbal medicine and external applications, he stated, "Please allow five days as the term; the root cause can be eradicated." Initially, a medication was used to reduce the prolapsed large intestine by several inches, followed by a wash. Subsequently, a medicinal thread was used to ligate the hemorrhoids. After two nights, the hemorrhoid detached, being as large as a peach. Herbal tonics were then administered for several days, leading to stabilization. The practitioner showed no reluctance initially, only discussing remuneration after reducing the prolapsed intestine. Knowing his life hung in the balance, the patient extended his hand fully, promising all the contents of his travel bag as reward, before the doctor consented to treat him.
Additionally, Zhou Jin from Yushan, who was transferred to the capital, suffered from an old condition of bladder qi and unilateral descent of the testicles. A peddler claimed he could cure it in a brief conversation, agreeing on a fee of ten thousand coins and three bolts of fine silk. He entered the room, administered a single acupuncture needle, and the suffering ceased immediately. Zhou was overjoyed and paid the gold and silk as agreed. Half a month later, the disease returned. Envoys were sent to find the doctor, but he was nowhere to be found. Ancient sages sometimes mingled among physicians and diviners. Modern physicians, eager for fame and profit, employ deceitful methods to exploit the public, behaving no differently from thieves who dig holes while carrying weapons. Having witnessed these two incidents personally, I record them here to warn the world (from *Bozhai Bian*).
