夷堅(jiān)志 夷堅(jiān)甲志卷五 蛇報(bào)犬

　　世傳犬能禁蛇．每見(jiàn)必周旋鳴躍．類巫覡禹步者．人誤逐之．則反為蛇所嚙．林明甫家犬夜吠．燭火視之．見(jiàn)一蛇屈蟠．犬繞而吠．凡十?dāng)?shù)匝．蛇死．其體元無(wú)所傷．蓋有術(shù)以禁之也．林宏昭言溫州平陽(yáng)縣道源山資福寺．有犬名花子．善制蛇．蛇無(wú)巨細(xì)．遇之必死．前后所殺以百數(shù)．一日．大蟒見(jiàn)于香積廚．見(jiàn)者奔避僧急呼花子．令噬之．未及有所施．蛇遽前迎．嚙其頷．犬鳴號(hào)宛轉(zhuǎn)．須臾死于階下．蛇亦不見(jiàn)．豈非其鬼所為乎．物類報(bào)復(fù)蓋如此．
