《搜神记·卷二》
将要割断舌头的时候，他先把舌头吐出来给观众看，然后用刀一割，鲜血直淌，洒在地上。他就拿割下来的舌头放在器皿中，让大家传递观看。
将断时，先以舌吐示宾客，然后刀截，血流覆地，乃取置器中，传以示人，视之舌头，半舌犹在，既而还取含续之。
Just as he was about to sever his tongue, he first stuck it out for the audience to see. Then he cut it with a knife, and blood flowed out and dripped onto the ground. He placed the severed tongue in a container and let everyone look at it.
