Page "Yinglong" Paragraph 15

… Here is Mount Constantoffspring.

This is where the Terrace of Common Work is situated.

Bowmen do not dare to face in its direction.

There is someone on this mountain wearing green clothes.

Her name is Droughtghoul, daughter of the great god Yellow.

The god Jest Much invented weapons.

He attacked the great god Yellow.

The great god Yellow then ordered Responding Dragon to do battle with Jest Much in the Wilderness of Hopeisland.

Responding Dragon hoarded up all the water.

But the god Jest Much asked the Lord of the Winds and the Leader of the Rains to let loose strong winds and heavy rain.

So the great god Yellow sent down his sky daughter called Droughtghoul and the rain stopped.

Then she killed Jest Much.

Droughtghoul could not get back up to the sky.

The place where she lives on earth never has rain.
