5.76

(15. Bingshen [216 CE]) The Daoists first composed the Lingbao [scriptures]. (Zhang Ling lived as a traveler in Shu; residing at Mount Huming, he composed this scripture. He also composed twenty-four scrolls of Daoist books on memorials and sacrificial offerings to delude the common people. Ling transmitted them to his son Heng, and Heng transmitted them to his son Lu. They called themselves the Three Masters and formed rebel bands to plot treason. Later, Cao Cao entered Shu and led his troops to make them surrender. The Yellow Robes were first eliminated. The demonic practices of the Three Zhangs began from this).
