Chapter 063: The Golden Shoes
"Don't you think the structure here is somewhat similar to a place we've been?" Yelu Zhousheng asked. The sound spread through the open space, and it took 3 or 4 seconds for the echo to come back.
"I remember, it's the same structure in the first aid kit on Earth, but it's worth a lot more here than there!" Watson replied, standing not far from him. As he spoke, he stepped on a symbol on the outside of the circle. A bizarre scene appeared immediately.
In this large circle in front of them, the disc turned silently! Not only that, but they also found that the disk was not a single whole, but six concentric circles centered on the earth in the middle, which were in the same plane, and rotated almost simultaneously in different directions, separated by two circles in opposite directions - although they did not turn quickly and silently, they still gave the two men the illusion of confusion. The two of them froze in place, forgetting to move.
After a while, the rotation of the concentric circles in the disc stopped, and two rays of light, one yellow and one white, burst out from the center of the disc at the bottom of the earth model, slowly lifting the "earth" into the air, and finally it hovered two meters above the ground.
Under the reflection of the two rays of light, Yelu Zhousheng saw that each concentric circle was engraved with symbols. Some of these symbols are Yin and some are Yang, all of which are composed of 8 symbols of the I Ching.
The outermost disc is also the widest, with 64 equal parts on the top, each of which is a composite symbol composed of any two hexagrams, and on each of the two layers next to it are 16 evenly distributed symbols, each of which is composed of 4 hexagrams. The third disc is divided into only 8 parts, and each part contains 8 hexagrams. In turn, there is still a yin-yang fish in the center of the disk, and the two rays of light are projected from the two eyes of the yin-yang fish.
Watson and the Grand Leader were behind the model of the rising Earth, on the other side of the disk, and saw a skeleton at the same time!
They started at the same time and ran towards the skeleton, but as soon as Watson's feet left the 1-meter-square "dry" symbol, the discs activated again, the two beams in the center converged back to the center of the circle, and the earth slowly retreated, leaving only the "starlight" projected on the dome in space.
It took them a while for their eyes to get used to the change in light from bright to dark. Yelu Zhousheng said, "Don't step on those outermost symbols, that's the switch." I also don't know what happens with each symbol stepping down. β
He thought for a moment and then said to Watson, "But we've seen what you just stepped on...... Big brother, go get those shoes in the car. β
Watson went out and brought the two golden shoes. Yelu Zhousheng went to grab the shoe and found that it was very heavy, so he had to dig his hand into the inside of the shoe to borrow strength.
His fingers touched the innermost part of the shoe for three buttons, and he tried to press one of them with his fingers, and the feedback was very strong, and it took some strength, and then the scene surprised him a lotβthe shoe flew by itself without his power.
There was a cloud of misty gas spewing out from the heel of the shoe, and I couldn't tell what it was.
Everything was only in an instant, he immediately let go of the finger that pressed the button, and the shoe slowly fell back to the ground, and it still felt so heavy when he picked it up again. What's going on?
He didn't think much about it for a while, he picked up a shoe and put it on the hexagram symbol that Watson had just stepped on, and the scene just now came as promised, the model of the earth was like a star in the middle of the stage, rising in the air, and the "stage" was bright again.
Yelu Zhousheng told again, "Big brother, you stay away from those symbols." They circled the disc and approached the skeleton. He fell to the ground, his forearms outstretched, seemingly face down, his skull torn apart, barely scattered to the ground.
He was about the height of the Ken skeleton outside. The bones of his feet were in one pair of shoes - another pair of gold shoes.
"Sure enough, let me guess correctly, these bullshit shoes are really used to imprison people, maybe this one is a rebellion of the universe. Exiled here after being tried by their judge, he is perhaps their biggest embezzler...... Well, let you die in a place full of gold. Watson said, "Maybe he's a miser among aliens."
"Big brother, your imagination is really rich enough, how Shangguan's sister-in-law was captured by you, I understand a little now...... You really didn't see that he fell to his death? β
Pointing to the bones, Yelu Zhousheng said to Watson, "Look here, his leg bones, his ankles, his backbone, and of course his skull, which are characteristic of a sharp fall from above. β
"Fell to death? How so? He's got to find a way to climb up...... Just wearing such a pair of heavy shoes? Watson shook his head, a little incredulous, he thought the Great Leader was joking, "Besides, he has to have a place to stand before he can jump down."
"I'm telling the truth, these shoes can fly, I've tried them."
"Obviously, the two skeletons we saw were two companions who had come here to do something, one of them was flying into the air in a golden shoe to do something, and the other was standing down and looking up at him," he said. At this time, there was a sudden accident, and the person who was flying in mid-air fell quickly...... Perhaps the man who climbed out was injured by thisβhe was crushed by his accomplices. β
"What accident? I was very surprised when I heard you say that these heavy golden shoes could fly. Watson stood up and stretched, looking up at the non-existent footing, and pacing in place.
Yelu Zhousheng yelled at him, "Don't step on that symbol!" β
Watson heard this, and reflexively jumped out, "I'm your big brother!" Then he understood what the big leader meant, "Big brother can't stomp around, no." β
"Now shall we take a look around?" He asked Yelu Zhousheng.
"There is nothing but this one," said the chieftain, "but it is a pyramid of gold, and the length of each base is about 1,000 to 1,200 meters." He noticed Watson's skeptical expression, "I just stood at the center point and spoke loudly to you, and it took 3-4 seconds for the voice to fold back......"
"So what do you think we're going to do next? I had to be convinced, because some people are born to dictate to others. Watson said.
"The symbols were so mysterious that I couldn't make my own decisions, so we had to go out...... Find a way to get out, and then invite Uncle Hua over, we need his staff officer. β
Yelu Zhou took off his shoes from the bones of the skeletal foot, carried them back, placed them next to the original shoes, and then grabbed the other pair, "We can go out, big brother." β
"Aren't they all the same shoes, you have to change them, did you say?" Watson asked.
