《蜀志》∶关云长，常为流矢所中，贯其左臂，疮虽愈，每至阴雨，骨常疼痛。医曰∶矢镞有毒
入骨，当破臂刮骨去毒乃除。云长便伸臂令劈，时方请诸将饮食相对，臂血流离，盈于盘器，而割炙
饮酒，言笑自若。隋末，高开道被箭镞入骨，命一工拔之不得。开道问之，云畏王痛，开道斩之。更

工绢三百匹。（《槎庵小乘》）

刘涓子于丹阳郊外较射，忽有一物，高二丈许，因射而中之，走如电激，声若风雨，夜不敢进。
明日，率数十人寻其踪 。至山下，见一小儿，问曰∶何往？答曰∶主人昨夜为刘涓子所射，取水以
洗疮。因问主人是谁，答曰∶是黄父鬼。乃将小儿还。未几，闻捣声，遥见三人，一人卧，一人阅书，
一人捣药，即齐声叫突而前，三人并走，遗一帙痈疽方，一臼药。时涓子得之，从宋武帝北征，有被
疮者，以药涂之，随手而愈。涓子用方为治，千无一失，演为十卷，号《鬼遗方》。（龚庆先《鬼遗

《蜀志》记载：关羽常因流箭射中，箭头穿透他的左臂。虽然伤口愈合了，但每逢阴雨天，骨头常常疼痛。医生说：“箭头有毒，侵入骨骼，必须切开手臂刮骨去除毒素才能痊愈。”关羽便伸出胳膊让人劈开，当时他正请众将领饮酒吃饭，相对而坐，手臂血流不止，流满了盘子和器皿，但他却一边割肉烤着吃，一边喝酒谈笑，神色自若。隋朝末年，高开道被箭镞射入骨头，命令一名工匠拔出，工匠拔不出来。高开道问他原因，工匠说怕大王感到疼痛，高开道便杀了他。又命令另一名医生，医生说：“我能拔出来。”他用一把小斧头对准伤口刺入骨内一寸深，然后用钳子拔出，高开道吃喝如常，赐给这位医工三百匹绢。（出自《槎庵小乘》）
七厘散，专门治疗金创（金属利器造成的创伤）、跌打损伤、骨折筋断、出血不止。先用七厘药粉，用烧酒冲服，再用药物用烧酒调匀敷在伤处。如果疮口大，就用干粉撒在伤口上，能定痛止血，立即见效。配方为：朱砂一钱二分（水飞法研磨干净），麝香一分二厘，冰片一分二厘，乳香一钱五分，红花一钱五分，明没药一钱五分，血竭一两，儿茶二钱四分。在五月五日午时，研成极细粉末，密封储存。每次服用七厘，不可多服。
刘涓子在丹阳郊外射箭比赛时，忽然有一个物体，高约两丈，被他射中后，像闪电一样逃走，声音像风雨声，晚上不敢前进。第二天，率领几十人寻找它的踪迹。到了山下，看见一个小孩子，问道：“去哪里？”回答说：“主人昨晚被刘涓子射中，取水来洗伤口。”于是问主人是谁，回答说：“是黄父鬼。”于是把小孩子还给他。不久，听到捣药的声音，远远看见三个人，一个人躺着，一个人看书，一个人捣药，他们齐声叫喊冲上前，三个人都跑了，留下了一卷痈疽方剂和一只臼里的药。当时刘涓子得到了它，跟随宋武帝北征，有受伤的人，用药涂抹，随手而愈。刘涓子用这个方子治疗，千次没有一次失误，演变成十卷，称为《鬼遗方》。（龚庆先《鬼遗方》序言）
宋朝元泰年间，青州有个姓刘的人，射中一头鹿，剖开五脏，捡青草塞进去，鹿突然站起来，这个人很奇怪地拔掉草，鹿又倒下，这样反复三次。记录这种草并种植它，大多主治跌打损伤，俗名叫刘寄奴草，也叫天名精，这种草也是刘寄奴一类。（《槎庵小乘》）
（按语：前面的刘涓子和这一条，都脱胎于宋祖刘裕荻洲的故事，重要的是药都是刘寄奴。）
斐昊在山中行走，有一只山蜘蛛，垂下的丝像布匹一样，快要碰到他时，他拉弓射杀了它，大小像车轮，于是剪下几尺长的丝收起来，部下有人患金创的，剪下一寸见方的贴上去，血立刻停止。（《南部新书》）
夏侯郓担任阆州长官时，有人额头上有箭痕，询问他。那人说：“跟随马侍中征讨田悦时中箭，侍中给了一个药方，是用巴豆微炒，同屎壳郎一起捣碎涂抹，一会儿，疼痛停止微微发痒，等到极度瘙痒难以忍受时，才摇动拔出，拔出后立即出来。后来用生肌药敷上就好了。于是把这个方子交给夏侯郓说：‘凡是各种疮都可以治疗。’后来夏侯郓到洪州，旅店主人的妻子，患疮呻吟，用此方立即痊愈。（《本草纲目》）
受箭镞射入不出来的，用屎壳郎、巴豆一起涂抹，痒得受不了，用雄磁石夹住它就出来了。象牙、公鼠肝脑、栗子屑、乌鸡尾、灰白梅仁、瓜子仁、牙齿咬过的和黑虱，都能取出箭头。又有针线在肉里的，张子和《儒门事亲》中的方子，端午节取莨菪做成丸药，用黄丹包裹，放在肚脐上，而箭头自然出来。刘荐叔说：‘近日军队中，只用干苋菜与沙糖涂抹，能取出箭头与铅弹子。这是经常验证有效的，则是古方所未记载的。’
从前有人肩胛部中疮，血像涌出一样，医生用原蚕沙，研成细末敷在上面，血立刻停止。一说用真降香，存性（保留药性），研成末贴在上面，尤其有效。（《吹剑续医续录记》）

蒙古中有墨尔根、绰尔济等人，精通中医。有正白旗先锋鄂硕，与蒙古作战，被流箭射中，伤势很重。绰尔济为他拔出箭镞，敷上药，就好了。还有都统吴拜，交战时，身上中了三十多支箭，已经昏死过去。绰尔济命剖开白骆驼腹部，把吴拜放进去，就苏醒过来。还有道士苗君稷的门徒，手臂弯曲不能伸直。绰尔济先用热蒸汽熏蒸，然后用斧头椎击他的骨头，用手捏时有响声，使骨穴对好，就好了。（余文节公常抚军《宦游笔记》）
薛衣道人祝巢夫，名尧民，是洛阳的生员。年轻时以文章闻名，明朝灭亡后，于是放弃科举考试成为医生，自号薛衣道人，得到仙人传授的外科医术，凡是各种恶疮，敷上少许他的药就好了。有人有断腿折臂的，请他治疗，没有不完好的。如果是剖腹、洗肠、破脑、洗髓，则像华佗一样神奇。乡里有被贼人砍断头的，头已经分离，他的儿子知道他很神，对家人说：“祝巢夫是仙人，快为我请来。”家人说：“郎君怎么胡说啊，脖子都不连着项部了。”即使他有返魂丹，怎么能合拢已经分离的形体呢？他的儿子强行请他来，到了之后，祝抚摸他的胸口说：“头虽然断了，身体还有暖气。暖气就是生气，有生气还可以治疗。急忙用银针把头和脖子缝合，合好后，涂上末药一刀圭，用炭火熨烫，一会儿，煎人参汤，混合其他药，撬开牙齿灌下去。片刻，鼻子微微有呼吸了，再用热酒灌下去。过了一昼夜，就发出声音了，叫他的儿子跟他说话，然后进米粥。又一昼夜，就可以举手脚了。七天伤口愈合，半个月恢复如初。全家致谢，愿意分出家产的一半酬谢他。尧民不接受，后来进入终南山修道，不知所终。没有儿子，他的医术没有流传下来。（《虞初新志》陈定九）
薛立斋治疗大尹刘国信，金创出血，发热烦躁，属于阴虚引起的病变。用圣愈汤治疗，虚火熄灭而血归经了。梁阁老的侄子，金创肿痛，出血不止，寒热口干，这是气虚血无所依附，而血不归经。用补中益气汤、五味子、麦冬为主药，阳气恢复而痊愈。
举人余时正，金创疼痛，出血不止，恶寒发热，用败毒散等药，病情加重。这是失血过多，气无所依附而导致的。于是用四物汤加知母、黄柏、软柴胡、人参、五味子、麦冬治疗，就好了。
淮西总管赵领卫，名寓殿，岩密的儿子，采用取箭镞的方法仇防御方的方子，张循王多次求取不到，因此奏请德寿宣帝，取来赐给他，有奇效。用一个天水牛，独角的特别紧，用小瓶子盛装，用硇砂一钱，细细研磨，加少量水化开，浸泡天水牛，自然变成水状。上面用药水滴在箭镞处，应当自己出来。（《是斋方》）

闽万夫长陈君，临阵时被刀砍脸，疮已愈合，但皮肤与鼻子不能愈合，非常难看，时时仰面哭泣说：“我的脸没有完好的皮肤，活着怎么见妻子，死了怎么见父母呢？”于是拜见项彦章请求治疗，项命壮士按住他的脸，皮肤肌肉全部热腐，施以法术，脸立刻红得像盘子。左右祝贺说：“恢复了原状。”（《九灵山房集》）
According to the *Records of Shu*, Guan Yunchang was often struck by stray arrows, which penetrated his left arm. Although the wound healed, every time it rained or the weather turned cloudy, his bones would ache. The physician said, "The arrowhead is toxic and has entered the bone; you must cut open your arm and scrape the bone to remove the toxin for a cure." Guan Yunchang extended his arm for the incision. At that time, he was hosting generals for a banquet, sitting opposite them. Blood flowed profusely from his arm, filling the plates and vessels, yet he continued to slice meat, roast it, drink wine, talk, and laugh as if nothing were wrong. In the late Sui Dynasty, Gao Kaidao had an arrowhead embedded in his bone. He ordered a craftsman to extract it, but the craftsman failed. When asked why, the craftsman replied that he feared causing the King pain. Gao Kaidao executed him and ordered another physician, who claimed, "I can extract it." Using a small axe, he drove it into the bone at the site of the wound to a depth of one cun, then used forceps to pull out the arrowhead. Gao Kaidao ate and drank as usual and rewarded this medical artisan with three hundred bolts of silk. (From *Cha'an Xiao Cheng*)
Qili San (Seven-Cent Powder) is specifically used to treat metal wounds (Jinchuang), falls and blows, fractures, broken tendons, and uncontrolled bleeding. First, take seven li (a unit of weight) of the medicine, dissolve it in distilled liquor, and ingest it. Then, mix the medicine with distilled liquor and apply it topically to the injury. If the wound is large, sprinkle the dry powder directly onto the wound. It stops pain and bleeding immediately. The prescription consists of: Cinnabar (Zhusha) 1 qian 2 fen (cleaned by water levigation), Musk (Shexiang) 1 li 2 hao, Borneol (Bingpian) 1 li 2 hao, Frankincense (Ruxiang) 1 qian 5 fen, Safflower (Honghua) 1 qian 5 fen, Myrrh (Moyao) 1 qian 5 fen, Dragon's Blood (Xuejie) 1 liang, and Camptotheca fruit (Ercha) 2 qian 4 fen. On the noon hour of the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, grind these ingredients into an extremely fine powder and store them tightly sealed. Take seven li per dose; do not overdose.
During an archery contest in the suburbs of Danyang, Liu Juanzi suddenly shot at an object about two zhang high. After being hit, it fled like lightning, making sounds like wind and rain, so he dared not advance at night. The next day, leading dozens of men, he tracked it down. At the foot of a mountain, he saw a child and asked, "Where are you going?" The child replied, "My master was shot by Liu Juanzi last night and is fetching water to wash the wound." Liu asked who the master was, and the child answered, "It is the Huangfu Ghost." Liu returned the child. Soon after, hearing the sound of pounding, he saw three people from afar: one lying down, one reading, and one pounding herbs. They shouted and charged forward, then all three fled, leaving behind a scroll of formulas for carbuncles and sores and a mortar of medicine. Liu Juanzi obtained these, and when accompanying Emperor Wu of Song on a northern campaign, he applied the medicine to wounded soldiers, curing them instantly. Using this formula, Liu achieved success in thousands of cases without error. He expanded it into ten volumes, titled *Gui Yi Fang* (Ghost's Legacy Formula). (Preface by Gong Qingxian to *Gui Yi Fang*)
In the Yuan Tai era of the Song Dynasty, a man named Liu in Qingzhou shot a deer, dissected its five viscera, stuffed them with green grass, and the deer suddenly stood up. Surprised, the man pulled out the grass, and the deer fell again. This happened three times. He recorded this herb, planted it, and found it effective mainly for traumatic injuries. It is commonly called Liu Jinu Grass, also known as Tianmingjing, belonging to the same category as Liu Ji Nu. (*Cha'an Xiao Cheng*)
(Note: Both the previous account of Liu Juanzi and this one derive from the story of Song Ancestor Liu Yu at Dizhou. The key point is that the medicine used is Liu Ji Nu.)
Fei Hao was walking in the mountains when a mountain spider lowered a thread like a piece of cloth towards him. He drew his bow and shot it dead. The spider was as large as a chariot wheel. He cut several feet of its silk and kept it. For subordinates suffering from metal wounds, he cut a square inch of the silk and applied it, stopping the blood immediately. (*Nanbu Xinshu*)
When Xiahou Yun served as the magistrate of Langzhou, a man with an arrow scar on his forehead told him, "I was shot while serving under Marshal Ma during the campaign against Tian Yue. Marshal Ma gave me a remedy made of slightly fried croton seeds (Badou) pounded together with dung beetles (Qiangan) and applied topically. After a short while, the pain subsided and a slight itching began. When the itching became unbearable, I shook the area to dislodge it, and the arrow came out immediately. Later, I applied a flesh-regenerating medicine, and it healed. I give this formula to you, Yun, saying that it can treat all kinds of sores." Later, when Yun arrived in Hongzhou, the wife of an innkeeper was groaning from a sore; using this formula, she recovered immediately. (*Bencao Gangmu*)
For arrowheads embedded and unable to exit, apply a mixture of dung beetles (Qiangan) and croton seeds (Badou). The itching will be intolerable; use a lodestone (Xiong Cishi) to clamp the area, and the arrow will come out. Ivory, male rat liver and brain, chestnut fragments, black chicken tail feathers, ash-white plum kernels, melon seeds, teeth marks, and black lice can all extract arrowheads. For needles or threads embedded in the flesh, Zhang Zihe's formula in *Rumen Shishen* suggests taking Datura (Langdang) on the Dragon Boat Festival, forming pills coated with red lead (Huangdan), placing them on the navel, and the arrowhead will naturally emerge. Liu Jianshu stated, "In recent military campaigns, only dried amaranth mixed with rock sugar is used to extract arrowheads and lead pellets. This is a frequently verified method not recorded in ancient formulas."
Once, a person suffered a shoulder wound with blood gushing out. A physician used silkworm excrement (Yuancansha), ground into fine powder and applied, stopping the blood immediately. Another source says using genuine Agarwood (Xiang), preserved with residual heat, ground into powder and applied, is even more effective. (*Chujian Xu Yi Xu Lu Ji*)
Weng Kentang said, "I recently obtained a formula for metal wounds with miraculous effects, promoting muscle growth within three days. Use gallbladder bile from a yellow cow, preserve its nature, grind into fine powder, and apply. This is truly a unique formula." (*Xu Yi Shuo*)
Bu Zhier accompanied the Grand Khan on a campaign against the Huihui. He was struck by several arrows, bleeding profusely until he fainted nearly to death. The Grand Khan ordered a cow to be slaughtered, its abdomen opened, and Bu Zhier placed inside, immersed in the hot blood. After some time, he revived. Similarly, Li Ting followed Bayan in the attack on Yingzhou. He was wounded by cannon fire on his left flank, with an arrow piercing his chest, nearly dying. Bayan ordered a water buffalo to be slaughtered, its abdomen opened, and Li Ting placed inside. After a long while, he revived. He Mengchun stated, "While serving in the Ministry of War, none of the border commanders knew this technique; one must read the *History of Yuan* to know it. Therefore, I record this here for emergencies." (*Bencao Gangmu*)
Sun Fazhong suffered from a head sore. One night, a woman appeared, saying, "I am a heavenly messenger. This matter does not concern good people; it was an error by the messenger. Just boil cow dung and apply it, and it will work." Following this advice, he indeed recovered. (*Song Shu*, *Bencao Gangmu*)
Zhang Xi was struck by eighteen arrows, one penetrating his abdomen, causing him to faint. Emperor Shizu immediately provided Dragon's Blood (Xuejie) and sent someone to treat him. (*Yuan Shi*)
Among the Mongols, there were Moergen and Chuoerji, who were proficient in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Esuo, a vanguard of the Plain White Banner, was severely wounded by a stray arrow in battle with the Mongols. Chuoerji extracted the arrowhead and applied medicine, resulting in recovery. Also, Commander Wu Bai received over thirty arrow wounds in battle and fell into a coma. Chuoerji ordered a white camel to be slaughtered, its abdomen opened, and Wu Bai placed inside, whereupon he revived. Additionally, a disciple of the Daoist priest Miao Junji had an arm bent and unable to straighten. Chuoerji first steamed it with hot steam, then used an axe to tap the bone, manipulating it by hand until a clicking sound indicated proper alignment, curing him. (*Huanyou Biji* by Yu Wenjie)
Zhu Chaofu, courtesy name Yaomin, known as Xueyi Daoren, was a scholar from Luoyang. Famous for his writing in his youth, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he abandoned civil service examinations to become a doctor, calling himself Xueyi Daoren. He inherited supernatural surgical arts from immortals. For any severe sores, applying a small amount of his medicine cured them instantly. For those with broken legs or arms, he treated them perfectly. If abdominal surgery, bowel washing, skull opening, or spinal fluid washing were required, he was as divine as Hua Tuo. A villager whose head had been severed by bandits, though the head was detached, his son knew of Zhu's divinity and told his family, "Zhu Chaofu is an immortal; quickly invite him." The family replied, "Master, how can you speak nonsense? The neck is not connected to the head." Even if he had a Resurrection Pill, how could he rejoin a separated body? The son insisted. Upon arrival, Zhu felt the chest and said, "Although the head is severed, the body still has warmth. Warmth is vital energy (Shengqi); with vital energy, treatment is possible." He urgently sutured the head to the neck with silver needles, applied a measure of medicinal powder, warmed it with charcoal fire, and shortly after, brewed Ginseng decoction mixed with other herbs, pried open the teeth, and administered it. In a moment, slight breathing resumed at the nose, followed by warm wine. After one day and night, he spoke, calling his son to converse, and then progressed to rice gruel. After another day and night, he could move his limbs. The wound closed in seven days, and he was fully recovered in half a month. The family thanked him, offering half their property as reward. Yaomin refused and later retreated to Zhongnan Mountain to cultivate the Dao, never to be seen again. Having no son, his techniques were not passed down. (*Yuchu Xin Zhi* by Chen Dingjiu)
Xue Lizhai treated Liu Guoxin, a district magistrate, who suffered from bleeding due to a metal wound, fever, and irritability, attributed to Yin deficiency. He treated him with Shengyu Tang (Holy to Restore Blood Decoction), extinguishing the deficient fire and returning blood to its vessels. The nephew of Elder Liang suffered from swelling, pain, and continuous bleeding from a metal wound, along with chills, fever, and dry mouth. This was Qi deficiency causing blood to lack attachment and fail to return to the vessels. He treated him with Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction), Wuweizi (Schisandra), and Maidong (Ophiopogon), restoring Yang Qi and achieving recovery.
Juren Yu Shizheng suffered from pain and continuous bleeding from a metal wound, with aversion to cold and fever. Treatment with Baidu San (Eliminate Toxicity Powder) worsened the condition. This was due to excessive blood loss, causing Qi to lack attachment. He was treated with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) plus Zhimu (Anemarrhena), Huangbai (Phellodendron), Ruan Chaihu (Soft Bupleurum), Renshen (Ginseng), Wuweizi (Schisandra), and Maidong (Ophiopogon), resulting in immediate recovery.
Zhao Lingwei, Governor-General of Huaixi, courtesy name Yudian, son of Yanmi, adopted the arrow extraction method from the Fang of Defense Officer Qiu. Zhang Xunwang had sought this unsuccessfully for years and thus memorialized the Emperor of Deshou to bestow it upon Zhao, noting its miraculous efficacy. Take one Tianshui ox, preferably with a single horn. Place it in a small bottle, add 1 qian of Nao Sha (Sal Ammoniac), finely ground and dissolved in a little water, to soak the Tianshui ox until it naturally liquefies. Apply drops of this medicine to the site of the arrowhead, and it should emerge spontaneously. (*Shizhai Fang*)
For knife cuts, use Duanshi (Smithy scale/iron oxide), regardless of quantity. On the noon hour of the Dragon Boat Festival, crush a hundred herbs, filter the juice, mix with Duanshi to form cakes, adding leek juice is especially good. Dry in the shade. When a wound occurs, sprinkle the powder on it. If intestines protrude, suture and cover with Mulberry Root Bark (Sangbaipi), binding with cloth. Wu Neihan's father, Shaobao, governed Nanxiong Prefecture. A man with a knife wound and ruptured intestines was saved by this medicine, preserving both lives. Another formula uses only leek juice mixed with Duanshi, prepared on the Dragon Boat Festival. To treat knife wounds, powdered Gallic Acid (Wubeizi) applied dry is also miraculous, also known as Xiao Xuejie (Little Dragon's Blood). (Same source.)
In Huihui lands, there were elderly people aged seventy or eighty who voluntarily sacrificed themselves for the public. They abstained from food and drink, bathing and consuming only honey. After a month, their urine and feces were honey. Upon death, the countrymen buried them in stone coffins filled with honey, inscribing the date on the lid. After a hundred years, the coffin was opened, and the honey collected. Anyone with limb injuries consumed a small amount and recovered immediately. It was rare even there, commonly called Honey Man, or Mummy in foreign tongues. (*Zhuge Lu*)
South of Chishan in Hangzhou lies Ri Xiao Ji Spring, where Huang Dachi once built a hut. His disciple, Shen Sheng, had an intimate relationship with a female Taoist nun nearby. A fellow disciple intended to report this to the master. Fearing punishment, Shen Sheng took a kitchen knife and castrated himself, nearly dying. Others saved him, but the wound bled for over a month without healing. Accidentally asking eunuchs, he was taught to destroy the severed part, grind it into powder, and take it with wine. Following this advice, he recovered in a few days. (Same source.)
Chen Jun, a Battalion Commander in Fujian, was slashed in the face during battle. The wound healed, but the skin and nose did not fuse, looking very ugly. He wept constantly, saying, "My face has no intact skin; how can I face my wife living, or my parents dead?" He sought treatment from Xiang Yazhang. Xiang ordered strong men to press his face until the skin and flesh became hot and necrotic, then applied a method, turning his face red as a plate. Those around congratulated him, saying, "You have returned to your original state." (*Jiuling Shanfang Ji*)
