论述说：遁尸，是指尸气潜伏、传染并连滞于胸腹肓膜之间。平时如同没有病患一样，如果因为喜怒情绪不节制，或饮食损伤而触动其隐伏的旧疾，发作时就会出现心腹胀痛，牵连到胁部，气喘急促，无法安卧的症状，这就是它的证候表现。
治疗遁尸注病，若邪气在旁人身上，或进入腹中，化为蛊毒且有声响；或在咽喉，或进入各种经脉，不在固定一处。进入人体腹内，蛊毒形成后侵蚀五脏：侵入心脏使人面色发红；侵入肺脏使人面色苍白、气短；侵入肝脏使人面色发青、易怒、筋脉抽搐；侵入肾脏使人呻吟、面色发黑、腰痛、耳聋；侵入脾脏使人面色发黄、食欲不振、身体消瘦、小便频数、胸中噎塞感、情绪喜怒无常，以及被妖魅百种邪气注病。天雄散方如下：

Commentary states: Dunshi (Hidden Corpse) refers to the condition where corpse qi lurks, infects, and lingers between the chest, abdomen, and huangmo (the membrane between the heart and diaphragm). Ordinarily, it appears as if there is no illness. However, if due to unregulated emotions of joy or anger, or dietary injury that disturbs the latent disease, upon onset, symptoms include distending pain in the heart and abdomen, radiating to the hypochondrium, rapid and shortness of breath, and inability to lie down comfortably. These are its manifestations.
To treat Dunshi zhu (Hidden Corpse Transmission), if the pathogen resides in others, or enters the abdomen transforming into gu poison with audible sounds; or lodges in the throat; or enters various meridians, not fixed in one location. Upon entering the human abdomen, once gu poison forms, it erodes the five zang organs: entering the Heart causes redness of the face; entering the Lung causes pallor and shortness of breath; entering the Liver causes blueness of the face, irritability, and tendon spasms; entering the Kidney causes groaning, blackening of the face, lower back pain, and deafness; entering the Spleen causes yellowness of the face, loss of appetite, emaciation, frequent urination, a sensation of obstruction in the chest, erratic mood swings, and illnesses caused by demonic influences and various transmission pathogens.
