Earthly abode of the gods

The Jade Sovereign descended to the ground from time to time. His residence was located in the inaccessible Kunlun Mountains. She crowned the highest peak. At the foot of the mountain flowed the Zhoshui River - Weak Water. It was impossible to cross it either by junk or by swimming. Everything was drowning in Weak Water! And the highest peak was surrounded by fiery mountains, on the slopes of which amazing trees grew. They continuously burned with hot fire, but did not burn out. Only one creature has adapted to live in the fiery forest. It was a mouse the size of an ox and weighing half a ton. Her body was covered with half a meter long hair, as thin as silk thread.

The mouse was red, but as soon as it came out of the fire, its fur became snow-white. It could be used to spin threads and make fabric. When clothes made from this fabric got dirty, they should not be washed. The flame returned her whiteness.

These are the miracles and insurmountable obstacles on the way to Kunlun. Only from a distance could one see the beautiful palace. And although no mortal had ever been there, everyone in China knew what it was like.
