集效方中记载了治疗“御沟金水”的方法：准备八只竹编箩筐，高度为二尺，取山上洁净的泥土装满这八只箩筐，用八个瓷钵分别承接。取八桶童便（儿童尿液），倒入其中七只箩筐的泥土中进行淋滤，再用井花水（初汲的井水）推压泥土，将滤出的液体汇集到第八只箩筐的泥土中。如果淋滤出的液体较少，再用清水推压前七只箩筐中的泥土进行淋滤，并将所得液体加入第八只箩筐中。等待一夜后，收集干净的淋滤下水约三至五碗，用瓷罐收藏贮存。平时用井水养护瓷罐口，一旦遇到此症，待患者口中想喝茶时，将此水半杯温服即可缓解，病情最重的，服用不超过三七次即可痊愈。
该水性平，味道微咸带甘，主治男女骨蒸潮热、干血劳（因久病瘀血内结导致的虚劳）、童子劳（小儿疳积或虚损），以及昼夜发热剧烈、拒绝服药的患者。这种水不同于普通的……
徽州人张宇南说：他们地方多山，每逢春夏交替之际久雨连绵，常有“起蛟”的灾害。村民对此习以为常，并不觉得奇怪。蛟刚开始出现的一两天里，地下先发出声音，隐隐约约像雷鸣，又像牛吼。到了时期，土中突然塌陷出一个如豆子大小的小穴，水从穴中喷出，直上一二尺高，如同箭射一般。随后水位逐渐升高变长，当水流达到屋檐缝隙与排水沟汇合时，水势才变大，下方的洞穴也逐渐扩大如碗口孔洞。蛟的形状像鳅和鳝鱼，从穴中涌出，乘着水势向上，越过屋檐后形体变大，于是飞越奔腾而去，房屋建筑并无损害。只有在相隔一里多远的田地里的庄稼会有损伤，这是因为山水冲刷所致。这种水刚喷出一二尺高时，山民用瓶罐等容器接取饮用，能使人力气无穷。大概是因为水出自蛟口含吮之处，精力灌注其中，直逼而上，蛟全身的力量都汇聚在这水中，所以人也不能多喝，身体壮实的人喝三盏，就会腹胀不能再饮。当地人用它来酿酒，更能增强精力，可以治愈虚劳。
单杜可云说：蛟刚开始出现时，水如箭般喷射，清澈如泉脉，逐渐涌高，必须结合天雨水，水势才会大并能飞腾。蛟出现时，穴口开始泛出水来，名叫“发洪”。如果在刚开始时，用一勺河水灌入其穴，蛟水就会自行回流，便不能从穴中涌出；或者取妇女月经期的污秽布条塞住穴口也能止住。如果有人喝了蛟水感到腹胀，用千里长流的河水煎煮服用，也可以解毒。
此水能强壮筋骨、健腰膝、治愈虚劳、消除惊悸、杀灭蛊毒、尸疰、鬼疰及遁尸邪气，沐浴可治疮疥。虚弱者用它代替水来煎煮滋补药物，效果很好。其性升散，能直达头顶。
The *Jixiao Fang* (Collected Effective Prescriptions) records a method for treating "Yu Gou Jin Shui" (Imperial Ditch Golden Water): Use eight bamboo baskets, two chi in height. Fill them with pure soil from the mountains. Place eight porcelain bowls beneath them. Take eight buckets of tong bian (child's urine), pour it into the soil of seven baskets to filter through. Push the soil with jing hua shui (well water drawn at dawn). Collect the filtrate into the soil of the eighth basket. If the filtrate is insufficient, push the soil in the first seven baskets again with clear water and add the resulting liquid to the eighth basket. Let it sit overnight. Collect three to five bowls of the clean filtered water. Store it in a porcelain jar. Maintain the jar with well water externally. When encountering this condition, if the patient desires tea, warm and drink half a cup of this water to find relief. For severe cases, recovery occurs within no more than thirty-seven doses.
Its nature is neutral, and its taste is slightly salty with a hint of sweetness. It treats gu zheng (bone-steaming fever) in men and women, gan xue lao (dry blood consumption), tong zi lao (pediatric consumptive disease), and intense day-and-night fever in patients who refuse medication. This water differs from ordinary...
Zhang Yunan from Huizhou stated: The area is mountainous. During the transition between spring and summer, prolonged rains often cause the phenomenon of "Qi Jiao" (Rising Dragon). Villagers are accustomed to it and do not find it strange. One or two days before the dragon appears, sounds are heard underground, faintly like thunder or the bellowing of an ox. At the appointed time, a small hole, bean-sized, collapses in the earth. Water spurts from the hole straight up one or two chi, like an arrow. Gradually, the water rises and lengthens. When it reaches the eaves and connects with the drainage gutter, the water volume increases significantly. The hole below expands to the size of a bowl opening. The dragon resembles a loach or eel, emerging from the hole, riding the water upward. After crossing the eaves, its form enlarges, and it flies away in a surge. Houses remain unharmed. Only crops in fields one or two li away may be damaged due to water erosion. When the water first spurts one or two chi high, mountain people collect it in bottles and jars to drink. It grants immense strength. This is likely because the water originates from the dragon's mouth, infused with its vital energy, surging upward. All the dragon's power concentrates in this water; thus, humans cannot drink too much. Even robust individuals become bloated after three cups and cannot drink further. Locals use it to brew wine, which further enhances vitality and can cure xu lao (deficiency consumption).
Shan Dukewen said: When the dragon first appears, the water shoots like an arrow, clear as a spring vein, rising gradually. It must combine with heavenly rainwater to gain sufficient force to fly. When the dragon emerges, water begins to overflow from the hole, a phenomenon called "Fa Hong" (Emergence of Flood). If, at the beginning, one spoonful of river water is poured into the hole, the dragon water will flow back and fail to emerge. Alternatively, plugging the hole with a cloth stained by menstrual blood can also stop it. If a person feels bloated after drinking dragon water, decocting and drinking long-flowing river water from a thousand miles away can resolve the toxicity.
This water strengthens sinews and bones, fortifies the waist and knees, cures deficiency consumption, eliminates palpitations and fright, kills gu poison (parasitic disease), shi zhu (corpse transmission), gui zhu (ghost transmission), dun shi (hidden corpse pathogenic factors), and evil qi. Bathing with it treats sores and scabies. For weak individuals, using it instead of water to decoct tonic medicines yields excellent results. Its nature is ascending, capable of penetrating directly to the vertex.
