The third central range, the Fù [萯] Mountains, begins at Mt. Áo Àn [敖岸]. Its southern slope has much Tūfú [㻬琈] jade, its northern slope much red ochre and gold. The god Xūn Chí [熏池] dwells here, and fine jade constantly emerges. To the north one sees Hélín [河林], whose form is like Sù [莤] and like Jǔ [舉]. There is a beast like a Bái Lù, with four horns, called Fū Zhū [夫諸]; where it appears, the settlement suffers great floods.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
