The tripod furnace has a round belly. The furnace is carved with intricate patterns of flowers, birds, insects, and fish. It's unclear what material it's made of – not gold, wood, jade, or stone. It's impervious to water and fire and cannot be cut by a knife.,"One bite at a time, you old geezer, reading all those holy scriptures until they're lodged in your dog's belly","Hey, everyone, look! There's someone flying in the sky!"。
