Hearing this, Ah Jiu stepped forward and sensed it, "The stone ball is divided into two parts, both of which contain powder, and in the middle is an hourglass with a narrow mouth, what is this?"
"I don't know, the stone ball is too thick to cut."
Mo Wen shook his head and said.
"Since there is an hourglass inside, there is naturally a joint."
Ah Jiu looked down and soon found a crack in the middle of the stone ball, but he couldn't open it by pulling and twisting.
"Maybe it's sticky."
Lao Wu looked around and found a copper hammer and knocked around the stone ball.
Ah Jiu tried again, but still couldn't open.
Huang Yilang and Xiao Yulan went up together to help, hugging the lower part, Lao Wu and Ah Jiu pulled the upper part together, but they still couldn't open.
"It must have been screwed."
Mo Wen stepped forward to replace Lao Wu, and twisted left and right with Ah Jiu, until he used the aura to twist the upper part of the stone ball, turned left three times, and finally unscrewed it.
Mo Wen raised his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and he also retreated a few feet behind, and stretched out his aura to push the upper part of the stone ball away, and the stone ball separated, and inside it turned out to be a transparent round cover.
Mo Wen took the lead in stepping forward to look at the round lid inside the stone ball, and after a closer look, he found that it was a semi-circular water spirit in the shape of a pot.
"It's a water spirit."
Mo Wen said to the people who rushed up.
"Water spirits are very precious, how can they be so bad" Ah Jiu looked down at the things under the transparent lid.
"This thing is not rare, Yujun is prolific and watery, I recognize it, there will be no mistake."
Mo Wen said, through the water spirit, you can see that the inside of the stone ball is two semicircles, there is an hourglass bottleneck area in the middle, the upper part is white and yellow powder, the lower part is unknown, and at this time, the upper part of the powder is dripping down through the narrow bottleneck in the middle.
"The yellow one is very much like sulfur, and the white one should be bone meal and white phosphorus."
Mo Wen lowered his head and determined the body of the two powders on the upper part.
"What's the purpose of mixing these two things together" Ah Jiu said suspiciously, sulfur is a thing to ward off evil spirits, and bone phosphorus is taken from white bones that have been exposed in the wilderness for many years, and can spontaneously ignite and start a fire.
"Master, is the water spirit hot" Lao Wu reached out and stroked the water spirit shell.
"The water essence is cool, and it is cool to start."
Mo asked.
"This one is hot."
The fifth said again.
Mo Wen and Ah Jiu reached out to touch the shell of the water spirit at the same time, and sure enough, they found that they were starting to have a temperature.
Faced with this strange stone ball, the five of them were confused, they had never seen such a thing before, and they didn't know what it was for.
Lao Wu shouted Huang Yilang, wanting to pull out the water spirit ball from the stone ball, but after several efforts, it was unsuccessful.
"Why don't you smash it open and take a look," Huang Yilang said to Lao Wu.
"Good idea."
The fifth turned around and dragged the copper hammer.
"There are aged bone phosphorus inside, and there may be demons sealed in it, don't be reckless."
Mo Wen hurriedly stopped the rude actions of the two.
"It's a little hotter again."
Ah Jiu pulled Mo Wen's left hand and pasted it to the water spirit shell.
"It's a pity that I don't know what's down there, otherwise I'd know what it's for."
Mo asked.
"Sulfur is a medium product of medicine, which belongs to the soil genus, and has the effect of driving away evil spirits and pulling out poison.
Bone phosphorus may not be used as a drug.
Ah Jiu was also puzzled.
"The heat of this water spirit shell is not unrelated to bone phosphorus."
Mo asked.
"Real person, what the hell is the use of these stone balls," Huang Yilang interjected.
Mo Wen and Ah Jiu didn't speak, and Huang Yilang's question couldn't be answered, but Huang Yilang's words reminded the two of them that these stone balls were released to kill and prevent people from entering the tomb.

"Do you still remember the taboo of refining the Poison Pulling Pill," Ah Jiu vaguely thought of something.
"There is no open flame visible, otherwise there is a risk of exploding."
Mo asked.
"If there is also a soothing saltpeter and a hundred herb cream to stop bleeding down here," Ah Jiu stopped halfway through his words.
"Explode Ding, get out of here."
Mo Wen suddenly realized, and hurriedly shouted at everyone.
Although Lao Wu and the others didn't know the details, they still turned around and ran out after hearing Mo Wen's warning.
"It's not safe here either, get out."
Mo Wen shouted at the crowd that had stopped at the stone gate.
Hearing this, the crowd turned around and ran again, and after a while they rushed out of the tunnel, it was still snowing outside, and it was late afternoon.
"Master, what does it mean to fry Ding" Lao Wu finally had time to ask.
"Alchemy sometimes uses saltpeter and sulfur, if the medicine is not properly dispensed, the Danding will explode, and the Taoist of alchemy will be injured by it."
Out of the authentic, Mo Wen's nervousness was slightly reduced.
"Fried" Lao Wu is very unfamiliar with this word.
"It's just torn apart, and the sound is like thunder on the ground."
Don't ask for an explanation.
The fifth child didn't understand when he heard this, but he didn't ask again.
Huang Yilang and Xiao Yulan have a sense of awe for Mo Wen and Ah Jiu, and they both hope that the fifth child will continue to ask on their behalf, but if the fifth child doesn't ask, they don't want to talk more.
"The person who made these stone balls set an hourglass bottleneck inside the water spirit, and it doesn't seem to be intended to hurt people."
Ah Jiu said.
"Otherwise, you and I are proficient in alchemy techniques, so we can escape as soon as possible, and if you are someone else, you won't know this thing at all.
If he remains in the tomb, he will be harmed.
Mo Wen shook his head and said.
"I mean, the main purpose of these exploding stone balls is not to hurt people, but to seal tombs."
Ah Jiu said.
"The stone chamber is five miles in circumference, and those stone balls must not be that powerful."
Mo Wen said, it is not common for Taoist priests to blow up the tripod when they are alchemy, there were more in the Han Dynasty, and then the Taoist people took precautions, and the explosion of the tripod appeared less, he and Ah Jiu have not seen and experienced it with their own eyes, and they only heard the words of Yu Linglong, so they don't know the specific situation of the bombing tripod.
"Real person, it's not easy to dig out this passage, why don't we move those stone balls out before they explode."
Huang Yilang said.
"If it suddenly explodes during the transport, won't you and I lose our lives," Xiao Yulan shook her head in disagreement.
"You only need to dig two feet, and I have to squeeze one."
Huang Yilang looked at Xiao Yulan unhappily.
"You can't risk moving, if" Before Mo finished speaking, there was a loud noise in the passage, and before everyone could react, there was another loud noise, which was several times louder than the thunder, and the power was huge, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the hearts of the five people who were shocked by the loud noise jumped wildly, and the violent air wave followed, and the five people who were still in a daze at the entrance of the cave were all blown away.
At this moment, Mo Wen's mind was extremely dazed, and the huge earthquake in his mind made his mind stagnate, and there were only two simple thoughts in the confusion, one was to be surprised by the power of the stone ball to explode, and the other was to subconsciously hope to stop before hitting the mountain on the south side.
The seemingly long fall was actually only in a blink of an eye, and everyone quickly fell to the ground, although there was a snow buffer, they still fell to the ground.
After slamming on the ground, Mo Wen immediately forcibly got up and looked around, only to see Ah Jiu getting up from the snow not far away, and Lao Wu hung on the branch in the middle of a big tree, and the branch cushioned him the least injured, and he was pulling the robe that was hanging by the branch.
Huang Yilang and Xiao Yulan's breath was stirred, and all of them showed their original form, and Xiao Yulan fell under the tree ten zhang away on the west side, and was struggling to turn over.
Huang Yilang flew far away and hit a pine tree, with his belly facing up, and several hind limbs were still slowly paddling, presumably not life-threatening.
Seeing that everyone was fine, Mo Wen sat back on the ground, breathed slowly to calm the strong dizziness, and waited until he was frightened to check himself, and found that the meridians and bones were not damaged, but the Shenfu was shocked, and he always felt dizzy, and he couldn't hear the sound clearly.
"It's a big problem," Mo Wen got up and moved to Ah Jiu's side.
Ah Jiu, who was standing on the tree, waved his hand, and then pointed to his ear, indicating that he couldn't hear Mo Wen's words clearly.
Mo Wen's voice was also very vague when he heard it, knowing that it was caused by a loud noise, and after getting Ah Jiu's response, he walked towards Xiao Yulan, Xiao Yulan saw Mo Wen coming, and wanted to change her human form to speak, but due to the unsteady breath, she tried twice or was a mouse's face.
Mo Wen took out a healing pill and handed it to Xiao Yulan, who took it.
Looking at Yulan, and then at Huang Yilang, when Huang Yilang got closer, he found that Huang Yilang's mouth was bloodstained, presumably due to internal injuries, Mo Wen took a healing pill and stuffed it into its huge mouth, and raised his hand to signal it to keep its current posture and not move.
"Master, are you okay?"

asked the fifth child with concern as he tore off his robe, jumped down from the tree, and ran over to him.
"It's fine."
Mo Wen's hearing has recovered, and he looked back at the mausoleum on the north side between words, only to see that the mausoleum seal soil in a radius of ten miles has collapsed as a whole, and the passage dug out before no longer exists, and a straight mountain cliff appeared ten miles away in the north, more than 100 zhang from the ground, and there are several stone gate outlines faintly at the bottom of the cliff.
"I'll carry you back."
The old five bent over and hunched over.
"No, go get the clothes and the two of you, let me come back to my senses."
Mo Wen waved his hand at him, and then walked over to Ah Jiu and sat down.
Everyone sat or lay or stand, and it took a cup of tea to stabilize their minds, Xiao Yulan and Huang Yilang changed back to human form one by one, Xiao Yulan was slightly injured and there was no major problem, Huang Yilang broke his ribs and was unable to move.
Everyone returned to the wooden shed, the fifth child lit a fire to boil water, barbecued meat and cakes, everyone rested for half an hour, and finally came back to their senses completely.
The good words appeased Huang Yilang and Xiao Yulan, Mo Wen went out to the north side of the mountain wall in the snow, the previous earthquake caused the overall collapse of the ten miles area on the south side, the ten miles area is the day after tomorrow to help the lining, in fact, most of the mausoleums in this hundred miles range are built by the mountain.
There are three stone doors on the stone wall, the general size, two zhang high, one zhang wide, the stone lintel on the top of the door is engraved with three patterns of the sun, moon and stars respectively from left to right.
Mo Wen stood under the stone wall for a long time without speaking, after a long time, he turned around and returned to the wooden shed to lie down with his eyes closed, and his specialization in the technique appeared here again, he was very unaccustomed to not being able to cast spells, and he was too much to suffer by attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings.
"What are you thinking" Ah Jiu asked Mo and brought hot water.
"I'm reflecting on my own mistakes."
Mo Wen closed his eyes and said.
"I don't blame you for this, Huang Yilang will be able to move freely in ten days.
Moreover, this time it was a blessing in disguise, saving five miles of dangerous roads.
Ah Jiu comforted.
"That's not what I'm thinking."
Mo Wen closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Tell me what you think."
Ah Jiu stroked Mo Wen's right hand.
Mo Wen shook his hand back, "At first, I just wanted to take away the mushroom grass and help you and Lao Wu fade away the alien atmosphere, but after seeing this huge mausoleum, I invisibly became competitive, and I wanted to tell the world all the strange tricks in this tomb, leave skills in craftsmen, and solve doubts in the world."
Now that I think about it, this idea is wrong, we are Taoists, not tomb robbers, you and I have all our energy used in the study of Taoism and the perception of the Heavenly Dao, you can't use spells here, it's not fair to you and me, Cao Cao's age is twice as old as me, and it's not fair for the young to fight wits with the elderly.
Taking a step back, even if I go to great lengths to make the various strange mechanisms in the mausoleum public, what does it mean to you and me?"
"What are you going to do in your heart?"
Ah Jiu asked after a moment of silence.
Mo Wen opened his eyes and turned over and sat up, "I can't do thankless things anymore, I want to ask thousands of soldiers and civilians to move this mountain completely":
