35.11

In the second year of Hongjia, Grand Master for Splendid Happiness Liu Xiang collated books in the Tianlu Pavilion and frequently saw Buddhist scriptures. Xiang wrote in his Biographies of Immortals: 'I searched through the collection of books and investigated the Grand Astrologer's composition of the Illustrations of Immortals. From the Yellow Emperor down to the present, more than seven hundred people attained the way of immortality. Verifying the true and false, I obtained one hundred forty-six persons. Seventy-four of them have already appeared in the Buddhist scriptures.'
