450 li southeast stands Mount Chángyòu [長右], without plants or trees, but with much water. There is a beast like a yù [禺], with four ears. Its name is Cháng Yòu [長右], and its voice resembles chanting. When it appears, the surrounding districts suffer great floods.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
