Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Pangu Splits Heaven and Earth Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Pangu Splits Heaven and Earth Hua Jinyan saw that Little Taotie liked it and asked, “Do you want to hear the story of Pangu creating heaven and earth?”
Little Taotie clapped his hands in delight, “Listen! I want to hear!”
Hua Jinyan nodded his head. This time he wasn’t telling the story to Ma Ming but to Little Taotie. He smiled and his expression became animated, no longer stiff and formal.
“A long, long time ago, the heavens and the earth were not separated, and the universe was shrouded in chaos. There was a giant named Pangu, who slept in this chaotic universe for eighteen thousand years.”
Fascinated, Little Taotie listened with big eyes blinking, exclaiming, “He really loved to sleep!”
Hua Jinyan laughed, “I also think he was quite a sleeper.”
“One day, Pangu suddenly woke up.”
Little Taotie clapped, “Finally he woke up!”
“Seeing the darkness around him, he pulled out one of his teeth and transformed it into a mighty Divine Axe. He swung the great axe and struck fiercely at the darkness before him!”
Hua Jinyan paused, met Little Taotie’s sparkling eyes full of anticipation, smiled, and continued slowly, “Pieces of the darkness began to disperse. The stuff that slowly rose became the sky! The stuff that descended slowly turned into the earth!”
Little Taotie turned his head to look at the sky outside, his round eyes wide with wonder, reflecting the azure of the sky, he was full of amazement and disbelief, “He was so strong!”
Little Taotie clenched his little fists, aspiring, “I want to learn from him and become a strongman too!”
Ma Ming on the side: “…” Fine, he didn’t need to go to class anymore, there was a ready-made little teacher!
Hua Jinyan looked at her, and said very sincerely, “Your strength can certainly be bigger than his!”
Little Taotie nodded his head, clenched his little fists, and chuckled, “I practice horse stances and punching every day, I haven’t slacked off on the Martial Arts I learned from Shaolin Temple!”
“As long as you persist, you can surpass Pangu,” Hua Jinyan said seriously.
Little Taotie nodded vigorously, trusting him completely.
Ma Ming on the side: “…” One dared to say, the other dared to believe!
“Keep talking, what happened next?” Little Taotie urged.
“After the heavens and the earth separated, Pangu was afraid they would come back together, so he held up the sky with his head and his arms stretched high to support it, and his feet pushed firmly against the earth. As the sky rose a zhang, Pangu also grew taller with the sky. After another eighteen thousand years, the sky became very high, the earth very thick, and Pangu himself extremely tall. After a long period of time, Pangu coexisted with heaven and earth for a total of one hundred and eighty million years.”
Little Taotie’s eyes shone with envy, his childish voice squeaking, “He lived so long, he must have eaten a lot of peanuts!”
“As heaven and earth took shape, Pangu became so tired that he lay down. Pangu wanted to use his own body to create a world full of life, so he lay down on the ground with a smile, offering his body to the earth.”
Little Taotie touched the corner of his eye where a tear rested, “It wasn’t easy for him, holding his arms high every day to hold up a piece of sky; he must have been very tired!”
Hua Jinyan nodded and wiped the corner of his eye as well, “Definitely very tiring, not easy at all.”
Ma Ming on the side: “…” Why are they crying? Where is the tear-jerker moment?
Hua Jinyan continued, “After Pangu fell, his body underwent tremendous changes! His breath became the winds and clouds of the seasons! The sounds he made turned into the rumble of thunder!”
“His breath… became the wind and clouds?” Little Taotie touched his nose, frowning, “If he ate garlic, would the wind and clouds smell too?”
