麻子七枚便止，丈夫正面向东行，诵满七遍，不得见秽恶。受持之法，不用见尸丧，见即无
验。吾蹑天刚游九州，闻汝产难故来求，斩杀不祥众喜投，母子长生相见面，不得久停留。
急急如律令。
唾运鬼法（丈夫从妇人口中受取，妇人从男夫口中受取）∶
天无梁地无柱，五骑三龙使九虎押运鬼汝身长少许，或在人心肝，或在人心肺，或在人
心膂。吾受东海王禁，故来追捉汝。急急如律令。
禁运鬼法∶
先禹步三匝，左手持刀，右手持水，努目急气，然后禁之喷之曰唾。东方青运鬼字青姬
年七十，南方赤运鬼字赤姬年六十，西方白运鬼字白姬年五十，北方黑运鬼字黑姬年四十，
中央黄运鬼字黄炬年三十。唾天皇地皇六律九章，是公运子之鬼未嫁之女。头乱如产，腹胀
如莒，克害忠良，唾汝急出，不得留藏，汝若不去，吾遣张丞伯捉汝缚送镬汤。急急如律令
（一云运子之鬼，未嫁之女，头乱如筐，腹胀如莒，但行人间，不见运女，唾之还本，主速
出速出，更不见汝，张丞伯王问驱杀运鬼数万千，速断因缘东唾无辜，恶见运来相呼南唾无
极，恶见运鬼来相逼，唾三寸刀二寸刃，先治反支却治运，唾太山东门一把苇举高十丈治运
鬼初来如辟蜂不着，余处当眉聚一杯水唾运去。须臾。不去当自死。急急如律令）。
禁产难方∶
先禁水一杯与服之，乃禁曰∶天有余阳，地有五行，星辰列布，日月精明，四时变化，
不失其常，骨肉已成，四体已强，毛发已就，今是生时，生迟何望。河伯在门，司命在庭，
日月已满，何不早生？若男若女，司命须汝促出无迟，并持胞衣。急急如律令。
取七瓣大蒜，在正月初一这一天，面朝东方，让产妇默念一遍，丈夫也诵读一遍。接着由丈夫吞下一瓣蒜，再吞下七枚麻子，动作随即停止。丈夫面朝东方行走，诵咒满七遍，期间不得见到污秽不洁之物。
受持此法时，不可看见尸体或丧事，若看见了便没有疗效。我踏着天刚之气巡游九州，听说你遭遇难产，所以前来求助。斩杀那些不祥之众，让他们欢喜投奔，使母子得以长生相见，不得在此久留。急急如律令。
唾运鬼法（由丈夫从产妇口中承接，产妇从丈夫口中承接）：
天没有梁，地没有柱，五骑三龙驱使九虎押送运鬼。你的身体稍微缩小，或者藏在人的心肝中，或者藏在人心肺中，或者藏在人心膂（脊柱/背部肌肉）中。我接受东海王的禁令，所以前来追捕你。急急如律令。
禁运鬼法：
先踏禹步绕圈三匝，左手持刀，右手持水，怒目圆睁，急促呼吸，然后进行禁咒并喷吐，说道：唾弃运鬼！东方青运鬼名叫青姬，年七十岁；南方赤运鬼名叫赤姬，年六十岁；西方白运鬼名叫白姬，年五十岁；北方黑运鬼名叫黑姬，年四十岁；中央黄运鬼名叫黄炬，年三十岁。唾弃天皇、地皇、六律、九章，这是导致难产的“运子之鬼”，是未出嫁的女子。她头发凌乱如同分娩时的样子，腹胀如同莒草（形容肿胀），残害忠良。唾弃你，让你急速离开，不得藏留。你若不离去，我派遣张丞伯捉拿你，捆绑后送入镬汤（大锅沸水）中烹煮。急急如律令。（另一种说法是：运子之鬼，未嫁之女，头发乱如筐篓，腹胀如莒草，只是在人间行走，看不见运女。唾弃她让她回归本源，主要在于速出速出，再也见不到你。张丞伯王问驱杀运鬼数万千万，迅速断绝因缘。向东唾弃无辜，向南唾弃无极，厌恶看见运鬼来相逼。唾弃三寸长的刀、二寸长的刃，先治疗反支日之病，再治疗运鬼之病。唾弃太山东门的一把芦苇，举高十丈以治疗运鬼。运鬼初来时像躲避马蜂一样不着身，其余地方应当聚一杯水唾弃运鬼使其离去。片刻之间，若不离去，运鬼应当自死。急急如律令）。
禁产难方：
先对一杯水进行禁咒，让产妇服下，然后禁咒道：天有余阳，地有五行，星辰罗列分布，日月光明精明，四季变化，不失常态。骨肉已经形成，四肢已经强壮，毛发已经长成，现在是出生的时候，出生迟缓还在盼望什么？河伯在门口，司命在庭院，日月已满（指时辰已到），为什么不早点生？无论是男是女，司命必须催促你快速出来，不要延迟，并带着胞衣一起出来。急急如律令。
Take seven cloves of garlic. On the first day of the first lunar month, face east. Have the woman recite it once, and her husband also recite it once. Then, in sequence, the husband swallows one clove of garlic and seven hemp seeds (Cannabis Fructus), then stops. The husband walks facing east, reciting the spell seven times completely, without seeing any filth or unclean things.
When practicing this method, do not witness corpses or funerals; if seen, it will be ineffective. I tread upon the celestial rigidity and roam the nine provinces. Hearing of your difficult labor, I have come to seek [the means]. Slay the inauspicious multitude who joyfully submit, so that mother and child may live long and see each other again. Do not linger here. Quickly as the law commands.
Spitting Method for Expelling the Labor-Demon (The husband receives from the woman's mouth, and the woman receives from the husband's mouth):
Heaven has no beams, Earth has no pillars. Five riders and three dragons command nine tigers to escort the Labor-Demon. Your body shrinks slightly, or you reside in the human heart and liver, or in the human heart and lungs, or in the human heart and spine/back muscles. I accept the prohibition of the King of the East Sea, thus I come to pursue and seize you. Quickly as the law commands.
Prohibition Method for the Labor-Demon:
First, perform the Yu Step (a ritual dance step) circling three times. Hold a knife in the left hand and water in the right hand. Stare fiercely and breathe rapidly, then prohibit and spit, saying: Spit upon the Eastern Green Labor-Demon, named Qing Ji, aged seventy; Spit upon the Southern Red Labor-Demon, named Chi Ji, aged sixty; Spit upon the Western White Labor-Demon, named Bai Ji, aged fifty; Spit upon the Northern Black Labor-Demon, named Hei Ji, aged forty; Spit upon the Central Yellow Labor-Demon, named Huang Ju, aged thirty. Spit upon the Heavenly Emperor, Earthly Emperor, Six Laws, and Nine Chapters. This is the Ghost of Child-Bearing, an unmarried daughter. Her hair is disheveled like during childbirth, her abdomen is swollen like the Jujube plant, harming the loyal and good. Spit upon you to leave quickly, do not stay hidden. If you do not go, I will dispatch Zhang Chengbo to capture you, bind you, and send you into boiling cauldrons. Quickly as the law commands. (Another version says: The Ghost of Child-Bearing, an unmarried daughter, with hair messy like a basket, abdomen swollen like the Jujube plant, merely walking among humans, unseen by those seeking the labor-woman. Spit upon her to return to her origin, primarily urging quick exit, quick exit, never to see you again. Zhang Chengbo and Wang Wen drive away and kill tens of thousands of Labor-Demons, swiftly severing karmic ties. Spit east at the innocent, spit south at the infinite, hating to see the Labor-Demon approaching. Spit upon the three-inch blade and two-inch edge; first treat the Fan Zhi condition, then treat the Labor-Demon. Spit upon a bundle of reeds from the East Gate of Mount Tai, raised ten zhang high to treat the Labor-Demon. When the Labor-Demon first arrives, it avoids contact like shunning bees; elsewhere, gather a cup of water and spit to drive the Labor-Demon away. In a moment, if it does not leave, it shall die itself. Quickly as the law commands).
Prescription for Prohibiting Difficult Labor:
First, prohibit a cup of water and have the patient drink it, then prohibit saying: Heaven has surplus Yang, Earth has the Five Elements. Stars are arranged in order, Sun and Moon shine brightly. The four seasons change without losing their regularity. Flesh and bones are formed, limbs are strong, hair and nails are complete. Now is the time of birth; why delay further? The River God is at the gate, the Si Ming (Lord of Life/Destiny) is in the courtyard. The sun and moon are full (time is ripe); why not give birth early? Whether male or female, Si Ming must urge you to exit quickly without delay, bringing the placenta with you. Quickly as the law commands.
