Description
From the southern slopes of Mount Huai, one can gaze upon the radiant splendor of the Kunlun Paradise, its brilliance stretching for miles, exuding an awe-inspiring grandeur.
On Mount Kunlun, there exists a creature called the “Tuluo.” It resembles a sheep but has four horns and is known to devour humans. Another creature, known as the “Qinyuan,” looks like a bee but is as large as a mandarin duck. Its sting is lethal to birds and beasts, causing them to die, and it can wither trees with its venom.
King Mu of Zhou once had the fortune to visit the Kunlun Paradise. He toured its magnificent palaces, tasted various celestial herbs and delicacies, listened to enchanting music performed by beautiful celestial maidens, and saw many wondrous mythical beasts.
The celestial maidens presented gifts to King Mu, but he pointed to the mythical beasts in the paradise and asked, “May I take one of these extraordinary creatures back with me?” The celestial maidens replied, “The beings of Kunlun Paradise drink from the heavenly moat and feed on a hundred herbs. Even if you take them to the mortal realm, they would lose their current form and their celestial abilities would be rendered useless. It is better not to take them away, for if they transform, we cannot predict what calamities they might cause.”
Poetry
In foreign lands, he toils and spins,
Weaving cocoons, his work begins.
Unable to transform and soar,
He falls into the net once more.
