Pure Brightness Court Secret Oracles
The text claims to be the esoteric edicts of the True Masters received by Luo Zhaoxian, the clerk of the Celestial Pivot Court, and consists of three parts: first, the True Masters' approval of the immortal official positions conferred on the nine generations of ancestors and six clans of Zhou Yanjiao the True Lord and others of the Pure Brightness Court; second, the Patriarch's imperial edict transmitting exorcism talismans and incantations to later practitioners; third, the Patriarch's imperial edict passing down the immortal recipe for grain avoidance and cypress leaf ingestion. The entire text appears to be a divine esoteric edict obtained by Taoist priests through spirit writing.
