Hi all,
FYI. My translation of the case study using the 1691AD version of Zengshan Buyi (ZSBY) (see ZSBY-9 pdf in

問來人。病得幾時。彼曰。自三月病起。予曰。卯木財空。明日出空。必然退災。
I asked the inquirer: ?When did she get sick?? He said: ?In 3rd month [Chen], she fell ill.? I said: ?Mao wood, wealth void. Tomorrow is out-of-void. She will definitely avoid calamity.?
彼曰。醫家不下藥矣。予曰。不妨。此卦亥水子孫獨發。剋去世爻之鬼。應在明日寅日。寅與亥合。合起子孫之日。尔無憂也。
He said: ?Doctors have stopped prescribing medicine!? I said: ?No problem. This gua s Hai water Son-Daughter Single Active counters out Subject line s Ghost. Response should be tomorrow on Yin(t) day. Yin(t) and Hai combine. Combine-Build with Son-Daughter that day. You need not worry.?
果於次日退災。不藥而愈。亦不獨此。又因卯木財空。次日出空而退災。
Result: On next day, she avoided calamity. Without medicine, recovered. Also not only due to the [Yin(t)-Hai combine], also because Mao wood wealth is void and next day is out-of-void, so then avoided calamity.
