Living calabashes, dead calabashes.
Tong Jiong named the two calabashes quite willfully, but it perfectly matched the style of those ancient powerful beings, who always pointed directly to the origin and did whatever they wanted.
Ji Hao fiddled with the two calabashes while sending wine and meat to Tong Jiong. Tong Jiong delightfully ate and drank. Whatever Ji Hao asked him, he would answer as long as he knew the answer. The many ancient secrets he knew broadened Ji Hao's horizons.
When the wine and meat brought by Mr. Crow were almost emptied by Tong Jiong, Ji Hao finally asked a question casually, "In the Wisdom Star Palace, I read a record about the 'three' Pengs'. But, the records in the Wisdom Star Palace are rather vague. I'm quite curious about them. Elder, have you heard about them?"
Tong Jiong abruptly stopped eating and drinking. He put down his wine cup and raised his head with a weird smile, then cast a complicated glance at Ji Hao and said, "The heaven has records about the three 'Pengs'. That's not strange. After all, back in the prehistorical era, they left some traces... But, little guy, you suddenly asked about them. Hah!"
Blinking his eyes, Tong Jiong slowly nodded and said, "Hmm, did they start stirring up trouble in the prehistorical era?"
Ji Hao smiled bitterly. As he thought, in front of these old monsters, no matter how much he tried to hide, he couldn't hide anything from them. By mentioning the name of the three 'Pengs', Tong Jiong figured out Ji Hao's real intention. He knew that the three 'Pengs' had started stirring up trouble, and Ji Hao was trying to find out more about them.
"Show me the records about the three 'Pengs' in the Wisdom Star Palace!" Tong Jiong reached his hand to Ji Hao.
Ji Hao threw the divine book about the three 'Pengs', which he found in the Wisdom Star Palace a few days ago, into the jade board. Tong Jiong opened the book, frowned, and glanced at it. Then, he grinned and said, "As I expected, the book only told me their names, but didn't tell me anything about them. I guessed that they had something to do with the few great changes that happened back in the prehistorical era. Hehe!"
Ji Hao cupped his hands to Tong Jiong and said, "Elder, please tell me."
Tong Jiong knitted his eyebrows. He picked up the divine book and waved it like a fan, then said, "The three 'Pengs' are secretive and cruel. They are the three strongest beings in Pan Gu world... But, I'm sealed in Feng Dao Mountain, so I'm not afraid of them. If they can truly break this jade board, I won't be afraid of them either."
Snorting coldly, Tong Jiong looked at Ji Hao and said coldly, "Do you know that the moment you mentioned their names, they already knew that you mentioned their names?"
Ji Hao looked at Tong Jiong in shock and asked, "Are they really so powerful?"
Tong Jiong nodded, then raised his head and continued slowly, "Unless one becomes a saint and is able to remove the 'three corpses', he or she can kill them with primordial spirit power, burn them with true fire, or cast them out of his or her body and seal them in the space... All in all, among all living beings in Pan Gu world, saints are the only ones who can avoid the three corpses' desires."
"It's fine if you don't know about them. Don't mention their names, and don't think about their names. They don't sense your existence, and their hearts of Dao are stable. Therefore, as long as you don't say a word, they won't know what you're thinking."
"But, you mentioned their names to me, and with their powers, they naturally came to me. In other words, now you..." Tong Jiong looked at Ji Hao, then nodded abruptly, pointed at the Pan Gu bell, and continued, "This is a supreme treasure transformed from Pan Gu's body. It can protect you. Added with the immeasurable natural reward power, and Feng Dao Mountain is a sealed place that cuts off the great Dao of nature, you can mention their names in here, but you don't have to worry about them sensing our conversation."
Breathing deeply, Tong Jiong continued with a deep voice, "But, when you return to Pan Gu world, don't mention them. Don't think about them. Suppress your thoughts, calm your emotions, and restrain your heart of Dao like a ten-thousand-year-old glacier. You can't be angry, happy, sad, or worried. All in all, you can't have any emotion. Otherwise, they will know what you're thinking about!"
Ji Hao felt his hair standing straight up. Did the three 'Pengs' have such great powers?
"Who on earth are they?" Ji Hao forced himself to calm down and asked Tong Jiong.
"This... You have to ask Pan Gu!" Tong Jiong scratched his head and frowned. He picked up a glass of wine and took a sip, then said, "Back then, when Pan Gu created the world, I watched it with my own eyes. But, I was much smarter than those idiots. Pan Gu was such a strong being, but they actually tried to take the jade plate of the great Dao of Pan Gu world. They tried to take the entire Pan Gu world. Weren't they courting death? "
With a gloating smile, Tong Jiong chuckled and continued, "That great war... Or, in other words, that massacre. Heads rolled, blood flowed like oceans. Clicking his tongue, Tong Jiong continued," Only smart ones like us survived. Those who dared to attack all died. "
"But, Pan Gu failed to attain the great Dao with strength, and made the final step. So, he died too." Tong Jiong sighed and said with a slight shock, "The three 'Pengs' are the three divine gods that came out of his body."
"Divine gods, divine gods, they're not the same as the original divine gods of Pan Gu world, such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. They're generated by the great Dao of nature. Gods! Gods are spiritual beings, born from heaven and earth, possessing boundless mystical abilities … This is the so-called 'God' that we 'people' are talking about. " Tong Jiong continued with a frown, "We don't know what the relationship between them and Pan Gu is. Anyway, when Pan Gu died, they were the first ones to rush out of Pan Gu's divine residence, blood residence, and Qi residence!"
Tong Jiong pointed at his head, heart, and dantian, then continued with a deep voice, "So, they're Pan Gu's descendants too..."
With a trace of uncertainty, Tong Jiong looked at Ji Hao, gave a bitter smile, and said, "Pan Gu was a bit of a scammer. After he fell, too many strange things emerged from his body, including Priest Jun's three disciples, that evil priest, the dragon-kind, the phoenix-kind, the humankind, and the three 'Pengs'. Therefore, they should be Pan Gu's direct descendants."
"But, the three 'Pengs' are too mysterious. They rarely show up in public, so no one knows what they're thinking or doing. No one even knows where their dojos are."
"However, I dare to guarantee that the sudden death of the Four Spirits of Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind in the Untainted World was definitely caused by them. Clicking his tongue, Ji Hao said, "The first generation of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, the four holy spirits of Pan Gu world, were skinned, had their tendons pulled out, had their blood drained, and died miserably!"
Ji Hao knitted his eyebrows. Were the three 'Pengs' three divine gods from Pan Gu's body?
"So, are they evil?" Ji Hao asked straightforwardly.
"Evil? Maybe? "Looking at Ji Hao, Tong Jiong shook his head and said," Who knows? For example, I think I'm a good person, but I was sealed in here too, wasn't I? "
