 小序

  凡劍俠,經訓所不載。其大要出莊周氏、《越絕》、《吳越春秋》,或以為寓言之雄耳。至於太史公之論荊卿也,曰:「惜哉!其不講於刺劍之術也。」則意以為真有之。不然,以項王之武,喑嗚叱咤,千人皆癈,而乃曰無成哉!夫習劍者,先王之僇民也。然而城社遺伏之奸,天下所不能請之於司敗,而一夫乃得志焉。如專、聶者流,僅其粗耳。斯亦烏可盡廢其說?然欲快天下之志,司敗不能請,而請之一夫,君子亦以觀世矣。余家所襍說劍客事甚夥,間有概於衷,薈撮成卷,時一展之,以攄愉其鬱。若乃好事者流,務神其說,謂得此術,試可立致沖舉。此非余所敢信也。

  老人化猿

  越王問范蠡手劍之術,蠡曰:「臣聞趙有處女,國人稱之,願王問之。」於是王乃請女。   女將見王,道逢老人,自稱袁公。袁公問女曰:「聞女英為劍,願得一觀之。」女曰:「妾不敢有所隱也,惟公所試。」公即挽林杪之竹,似桔槔,末折墮地,女接取其末。公操其本而刺女;女應節入之,三入。女因舉杖擊之,袁公即飛上樹,化為白猿。
