In Feng Dao Mountain, the feast was over.
Tong Jiong raised a wine pot and shook it for a long while. When the last drop of wine dripped into his mouth, he looked at Mr. Crow disappointedly and said, "Little crow, is this all you brought? You rarely come here. Why didn't you bring more? "
Mr. Crow blinked his eyes and helplessly spread his hands.
He came here with Ji Hao to hunt for treasures, not to have a picnic with Ji Hao. He brought all this wine and meat with him because he was a greedy eater. That was why he brought some of it with him, and occasionally, he would sneakily eat it to satisfy his cravings. Who knew that this was Feng Dao Mountain? Who knew that there was a jade board in here? Who knew that a gluttonous Tong Jiong was hiding in the jade board?
Sighing slightly, Tong Jiong threw the pot away. His face filled up the entire jade board as he pitifully looked at Ji Hao, gave a bitter smile, and said, "Will you come again? If you do, can you bring more wine and meat? Ten-thousand pots of wine from the heaven, and I'll teach you the great Dao. What do you think? "
Ji Hao blinked his eyes and looked at Tong Jiong, then grinned embarrassedly and said, "Elder, may I ask about your level?"
Tong Jiong laughed and hurriedly responded, "I have been studying the great Dao of magnetic force, and my soul has already merged with the great Dao of nature. As long as the great Dao of nature exists, I will never die. Can I teach you my level?"
Ji Hao looked at Tong Jiong in shock and asked, "A saint?"
Tong Jiong scratched his head embarrassedly. Pondering for a while, he slowly nodded and said, "My soul is immortal. You can call me a saint if you insist. But, a true saint has his soul merged with the great Dao of nature. He can go in and out freely, and he can play with the great Dao of nature as easily as looking at the patterns on his palm. That's what a true saint is. "
"I can go in with my soul, but I can't come out. In other words, my soul has to tremble in the torrents of the great Dao of nature, so that the great Dao of nature won't assimilate my soul and turn me into a puppet of the great Dao of nature."
Pondering for a long while, Tong Jiong grinned to Ji Hao and said, "I can be counted as a ninety-five percent saint, right?"
Ji Hao was enlightened. Looking at Tong Jiong, he asked again, "Then, those who sealed you..."
Tong Jiong narrowed his eyes and said blandly, "Some of them are seventy percent ripe, some are eighty to ninety percent ripe, but they're still not as good as me. It was precisely because of this difference that they had to drug me and seal me here. "
Abruptly, Tong Jiong gave a long sigh and said, "It's been so many years. I wonder what my old friends are like now."
Ji Hao fiddled with the dead calabash and the living calabash. The surface of the calabash was smooth and textured, seeming to be carved from top-grade jade. He asked Tong Jiong curiously, "Did they really not take your treasures away because they didn't want to embarrass themselves?"
Tong Jiong smilingly looked at Ji Hao. He laughed for a long while, then said slowly, "That Tai-Yi magnetic force flag is indeed a real Tai-Yi magnetic force flag. It can turn the space upside down and the universe upside down. Even the time and space are stirred up like porridge. Even saints would have to spend a long time to free themselves from the flag if they were trapped by it. This is a good treasure, truly. "
Smiling faintly, Tong Jiong gently pointed at the pair of calabashes and said, "But, if I don't tell you which one is the living calabash and which one is the dead one, who knows? Once the dead calabash is opened, it will be attacked by the first trace of killing power. Unless it's a saint, no one can survive it. There's a fifty percent chance that the dead calabash will die directly! "
Ji Hao's face darkened a bit. He took out the Tai-Yi magnetic force flag, gave a bitter smile, and said, "Since they dared not to take the pair of calabashes, this..."
Tong Jiong's grin grew brighter and brighter. "Tai-Yi magnetic force flag is my spirit treasure, so it's reasonable for me to merge the powers of the three treasures into one. Therefore, once the Tai-Yi magnetic force flag is ten-thousand miles away from the pair of calabashes, it will immediately gather the natural magnetic power and build a great formation to trap the enemy. Then, the dead calabash will certainly fly out and kill the enemy. "
Tong Jiong blinked at Ji Hao with a sneaky grin and said, "They're not as powerful as me, so they can't break the seals I cast on these three treasures. But, they dared not to break the seals I cast on these three treasures with violence. Besides, they are indeed unevenly distributed. Therefore, they can only leave these three treasures here... Out of sight, out of mind. These are rare treasures. They can see them, but they can't touch them. Wouldn't that be uncomfortable? Wouldn't that be suffocating? Wouldn't that disturb their hearts of Dao? "
Ji Hao was stunned. He looked at the three treasures in his hands and wondered which one was the dead calabash. Which one was the living calabash? If he opened the wrong one, wouldn't he suffer a fierce strike from the dead calabash as well? Besides, since the powers of the three treasures were connected, would the Tai-Yi magnetic force flag stay still and do nothing when the dead calabash launched a strike from the dead calabash?
"Elder, you've eaten so much of my meat and wine!" Ji Hao looked at Tong Jiong with a fake smile.
"But, little fellow Daoist, how many ancient secrets did you obtain from me?" Tong Jiong also gave a fake smile and said, "Especially about the three 'Pengs'. In this world, how many people can you find to tell you about them? Is my saliva not worth a meal of meat and wine? "
Remaining silent for a while, Ji Hao raised the pair of calabashes and said, "The humankind is facing a strong enemy. I should borrow the power of the living calabash..."
Tong Jiong responded quickly, "Oh, oh, a powerful being is guiding you. The calabash contains the essence power of the world, which is the first strand of pre-world life-force in the living calabash. That calabash can improve your cultivation speedily, and the improved power will be purer and stronger than the power cultivated by a saint. Good idea, good plan. I've been trapped in here for so many years, and this calabash does contain a great amount of divine liquid, but... "
Ji Hao said immediately, "Letting you out is impossible. Elder, can you make a different request?"
Tong Jiong frowned. His face occupied the entire jade board as he blinked his eyes and looked at Ji Hao without saying a word.
Suddenly, Tong Jiong looked at the entrance of the cave in shock and said, "Crazy woman? Why are you here? How did you find this place? And you, yo, yo, Bamboo Master, you old bamboo. Back then, your old bamboo bloomed and grew countless bamboo grains. But, the phoenixes robbed you and took ninety percent of your bamboo grains, nearly destroying your foundation of Dao. Since that day, I've never seen you again. How... How dare you come out now? "
Ji Hao was surprised again. He slowly turned around and saw Dragon Mother standing by the entrance of the cave with an excited face. Standing beside her was a tall and scrawny priest, whose face was covered in a green mist.
Dragon Mother was shaking in excitement. "Haha, I didn't smell it wrong. I was passing by the starry void, and I smelled your scent. Hehe, I've been chasing you all the way. You're... Tong Jiong, aren't you? Hehe, you bastard. Back then, you stole one thousand, three hundred, and seventy-two dragon eggs from our dragon-kind. You boiled them in soup, fried them, braised them, and roasted them. Did you enjoy them? Did you enjoy them? Did you enjoy them? "
Ji Hao narrowed his eyes. Dragon Mother's nose... was even more sensitive than a dog's.
He couldn't help but turn around and glance at Tong Jiong. This old priest was indeed not a kind one!
