Idiom story

It is said that three old people met in ancient times and asked each other their age. One said he didn't remember his age. He only remembered his friendship with Pangu when he was young. One said that when he saw the sea turning into a mulberry field, he added a chip. Now his chip can hold ten rooms. The other said that the flat peach kernels he had eaten had been thrown to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and now they are as tall as Kunlun mountain.
