female genitals. They ride on patterned horses. the horses which was called

The Single-Arm People are adept at creating mechanical
things, which they use in hunting. They can manufacture flying carriages which
travel far on the wind. During the time of King Tang of the Shang, a western
wind came and blew them in their carriages to Yu Province. King Tang destroyed
their carriages so that the common people would not see them. Ten years later,
an eastern wind started to blow. The Single-Arm People rebuilt their carriages
and were sent home in them, for their land lay forty thousand li beyond the
Jade Gate.
