Someone asked, "Those who pursue the Dao often dwell in mountains and forests, but these places are often plagued by tigers and wolves. How can one ward them off?" The Baopuzi replied, "In ancient times, those who entered the mountains all carried the Huangshen Yue Zhang seal. It was four inches wide and had 120 characters inscribed on it. They would seal the mud of the place where they resided in all four directions, within a radius of one hundred paces, so that tigers and wolves would not dare to approach. When they encountered fresh tiger tracks, they would align their seal in the same direction as the tracks, and the tiger would leave. If they aligned the seal in the opposite direction, the tiger would return. By wearing this seal while traversing mountains and forests, one would not fear tigers and wolves. Not only does it ward off tigers and wolves, but if there are evil spirits that cause misfortune and blessings at mountain rivers, shrines, or temples, by sealing the mud with the seal, their path is blocked, and they can no longer manifest their powers.
In the past, there was a giant turtle living in Shitou Water, always residing in a deep pool. People named the pool Turtle Pool because of this creature. The turtle had the ability to transform into ghosts and afflict humans with illnesses. There was a Taoist named Dai Bing from Wu who happened to encounter it. He created several hundred seals using the Yue Zhang method and threw them into the pool while on a boat. After a while, the giant turtle, measuring more than ten zhang in length, emerged and floated without daring to move. He subjugated it, and the afflicted individuals were all cured. Additionally, many small turtles emerged and lined up dead on the shore.
If one encounters a tiger in the mountains, they can perform the Sanwu Jin method, and the tiger will retreat. The Sanwu Jin method requires oral transmission and cannot be fully explained in writing. One method involves imagining oneself as a vermilion bird, growing three zhang in length, and standing atop the tiger's head. Then, one holds their breath, and the tiger will leave. If one has to spend the night in the mountains, they can secretly take the hairpin from their head and pierce it into the white tiger while holding their breath, and there will be nothing to fear.
Another method involves holding a knife in the left hand, closing one's breath, drawing a square on the ground, and reciting, "The Yin of Mount Heng, the Yang of Mount Tai, prevent thieves from rising, tigers and wolves from moving, cities and fortifications from being breached." Then, one can use the knife to strike the white tiger for ten days straight during midday, and there will be nothing to fear. Some use a powerful method, swallowing 360 breaths, and with a shout from left to right, the tiger will not dare to rise. By employing these methods, one can enter the mountains without fear of tigers. Others use the Seven-Star Tiger Steps, as well as the Jade Spirit Talisman, Eight Mighty Victory Talisman, Li'er Tai Ping Talisman, Middle Yellow Hua Gai Seal, and the Stone-Flowing Yellow Powder. They burn the horns of cattle and sheep or set up the Seal of the Western Yueguan Mountain, and all have been proven effective. These are the four essential talismans."
