謙之守志嵩岳。以神瑞二年十月。遇大神乘雲駕龍導從百靈集於山頂。稱太上老君。謂謙之曰。自天師張陵去世已來。地上曠職。上谷寇謙之文身直理。吾故授汝天師之位。賜汝雲中新科二十卷。自開闢已來不傳於世汝宣吾新科清整道教除去三張偽法租米錢稅及男女合氣之術。大道清虛寧有斯事。專以禮度為首。加之以服食閉練。使玉女九疑十二人授謙導引口訣。遂得辟穀氣盛。顏色鮮麗。弟子十餘人。皆得其術。

Qianzhi maintained his resolve on Mount Song. In the tenth month of the second year of the Shenrui reign era, he encountered a great spirit riding upon clouds and driving dragons, accompanied by a retinue of a hundred numinous beings gathering on the mountain peak. Calling himself the Most High Lord Lao, he said to Qianzhi: "Since the Celestial Master Zhang Ling passed away from the world, the earthly post has been vacant. Kou Qianzhi of Shanggu has adorned his person with upright principles. Therefore, I confer upon you the rank of Celestial Master and bestow upon you twenty rolls of the New Code from the Clouds. Since the primordial division of heaven and earth, it has never been transmitted to the world. You must proclaim my New Code, purify and regulate the Daoist teaching, and eradicate the false methods of the three Zhangs—the taxes of grain and coins as well as the arts of harmonizing pneumas between male and female. How could the Great Way of pure void have such matters? You must take etiquette and rules as foremost, supplemented by dietary practices and breath control." He dispatched twelve Jade Maidens of Jiuyi to transmit the oral formulas of gymnastics (daoyin) to Qianzhi. He was thereupon able to avoid grains, his qi flourished, and his complexion became radiant and fresh. Over ten disciples all attained his techniques.
