《太平广记·卷四百五十六·蛇一》
爆身蛇，长一二尺，灰色外形，听到了人走路的声音，就从树林中飞出来，样子象一根枯树枝，横着来打人，打中了人，人就一定死。
爆身蛇，长一二尺，形如灰色。闻人行声，林中飞出，状若枯枝，横来击人，中者皆死。
Bursting Snake, one or two feet long, gray in color, when it hears the sound of someone walking, it flies out of the woods, looking like a dead tree branch, and hits people sideways. If it hits someone, they will definitely die.
