> In the gui-you year, the twenty-first year of the Kaiyuan era, the realm was divided into fifteen circuits: Jingji, Duji, Guannei, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Longyou, Shannan East Circuit, Shannan West Circuit, Jiannan, Huainan, Jiangnan East Circuit, Jiangnan West Circuit, Qianzhong, and Lingnan. An investigating commissioner was established for each. The master of occult arts Zhang Guolao stated of himself that he was several hundred years old. The Emperor summoned him to the palace; he earnestly declined and returned to the mountains. By imperial decree he was bestowed the title of Grand Master of the Silver-Blue Glories of the Golden Gate, styled Master Tongxuan, and entered Mount Chang, none knowing where he ended his days.
