9.115

臣笑曰。修靜宋明時人。太始七年因勅而上經目。既云隱在天宮。爾來一百餘年。不聞天人下降。不見道士上昇。不知此經從何至此。昔文成以書飯牛。詐言王母之命。而黃庭元陽以道換佛。張陵創造靈寶。吳赤烏時始出。上清起於葛玄。宋齊之間乃行。鮑靜造三皇。事露而被誅。文成書飯牛致戮於漢世。今之學者。又踵其術。又可悲乎。漢書張魯祖父陵。桓帝時造符書以惑眾。受道者出米五斗。俗謂米賊。陵傳子衡。衡傳子魯。號曰三師。三人之妻為三夫人。皆云。白日昇天。初受道名鬼卒。後號祭酒。妖鄙之甚穿鑿濫行。皆此例矣。

Your servant laughs, saying: Xiujing was a person of Emperor Ming's time in the Song dynasty; in the seventh year of the Taishi era, he submitted the scripture catalogue pursuant to an imperial decree. Since they were said to be concealed in the celestial palace, in the more than one hundred years since then, we have not heard of celestials descending, nor have we seen Daoist priests ascending. Whence did these scriptures arrive here? Formerly, Wencheng fed a writing to an ox, falsely claiming it was the command of the Queen Mother; and the Huangting and Yuanyang scriptures substituted the Dao for the Buddha. Zhang Ling fabricated the Lingbao scriptures, which only first appeared during the Chiwu era of the Wu dynasty. Shangqing arose with Ge Xuan, and only began to circulate between the Song and Qi dynasties. Bao Jing fabricated the Sanhuang scriptures, and when the affair was exposed he was executed. Wencheng's writing fed to an ox brought about his slaughter during the Han dynasty. Do today's scholars again tread in their footsteps? How pitiable! The Han shu states that Zhang Lu's grandfather, Ling, during the reign of Emperor Huan fabricated talismanic writings to delude the masses; those who received the Dao paid five pecks of rice, so the common people called them 'rice bandits.' Ling transmitted it to his son Heng, and Heng transmitted it to his son Lu; they were called the 'Three Masters.' The wives of the three men were called the 'Three Madams.' All were said to have 'ascended to heaven in broad daylight.' Those who first received the Dao were called 'demon soldiers,' and later were titled 'libationers.' These are the utmost depths of vulgar deceit, forced contrivance, and unauthorized practice—all belong to this category.
