A further 300 li east stands Mount Jī [基]. Its southern slope has much jade, its northern slope many strange trees. There is a beast like a goat, with nine tails and four ears, and eyes upon its back. Its name is Bó Yí [猼訑]; whoever wears it knows no fear. There is a bird like a chicken, with three heads, six eyes, six legs, and three wings. Its name is Cháng Fū [𪁺𩿧]; whoever eats it does not sleep.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
