8.18

夫真心履順者妖忤革其氣。是以至聖高賢無情於萬化。故能洞遊金石。臥宿煙霞。此純誠感通。豈佩帶使然哉。其經辭致𡝻慢鬼弊云。左佩太極章。右佩崐吳鐵。指日則停暉。擬鬼千里血。若受黃書赤章言。即是靈仙硠屐入靖不朝太上。至於使六甲神而跪拜圊廁（如郭景純亦云仙流登清度厄竟不免災）愚癡顛倒豈識儀節。聞其著符。昔時軍標張角黃符子魯戴絳盧悚紫標孫恩孤虛。並矯惑王師終滅人鬼。

Those whose sincere minds tread in accordance [with nature] have their qi transformed away from demonic adversity. For this reason, the utmost sages and eminent worthies harbor no affection for the myriad transformations; hence they can roam freely through metal and stone, and sleep amidst mist and rosy clouds. This is a resonant response of pure sincerity—how could it be caused by wearing talismans? The phrasing of their scriptures is irreverent, crude, and demonic, saying: 'On the left wear the Taiji seal; on the right wear Kunwu iron. Point at the sun and its radiance halts; aim at demons and blood spills for a thousand miles.' They say that if one receives the Yellow Book and Red Seals, one is an efficacious immortal, clattering in wooden clogs into the chamber of silence without paying court to the Supreme Lord. They go so far as to make the gods of the Six Jia prostrate themselves at privy-latrines (as Guo Jingchun also said that immortals ascend to clarity and cross over perils, yet ultimately cannot avoid disaster). In their foolish confusion, how could they know proper decorum? As for their wearing of talismans, we hear that in the past, armies raised standards: Zhang Jiao used yellow talismans, Zi Lu wore crimson, Lu Song raised purple standards, and Sun En used the Guxu [symbols]. All of them deceitfully misled the royal army, and in the end perished as demons among men.
