Wu Zijin circled around the stalagmite countless times, Shale sat on the ground, staring at the stalagmite until his eyes were bloodshot, Mao Tianlin and Xue Yue closed their eyes to rest, and I half leaned on my backpack, watching
Shen Yuan stared at the Big Dipper above his head, counting something with his fingers.
"Can you do it or not?"
I asked Shen Yuan: "Your fingers are all twisted into twists, and I haven't even seen you figure out a flower."
Shen Yuan frowned deeply, looked at the huge stalagmite, and said: "Boss Ye, this stalagmite has a mystery. I am still waiting for the opportunity."
Shale said: "How about we push it first and see if we can push it."
Shen Yuan immediately said: "That is a last resort and should only be used as a last resort."
"Haha! Then let's just wait here!"
I laughed dryly twice and said, "Your fingers are almost scratching their skin from rubbing them back and forth. When will you be able to figure out the mystery?"
"Boss Ye, this is the Big Dipper array."
Shen Yuan said: "The seven stars of the Big Dipper shine brightly in the sky, until the handle of the Dipper points to the west."
I couldn't understand, so I said to Shen Yuan: "My dear and beloved Master Shen, do you people always speak so out of tune to make you appear to be incomprehensible! Can you please explain clearly?"
Shen Yuan explained: "The meaning is very simple. In the Big Dipper, if Tianji becomes brighter, we have to wait until the handle of the Big Dipper moves to the west position. I think... maybe the mystery will naturally emerge by then.
"
"What!"
I was very surprised and stared at the top of my head: "You said the Big Dipper composed of those night pearls can rotate?"
Shen Yuan pursed his lips and his expression was very tangled, "I don't know, maybe... maybe..."
The real Big Dipper is a star in the sky that moves counterclockwise around the North Star. There is an old saying, if the handle of the Dipper points to the east, everything will be spring; if the handle of the Dipper points to the south, everything will be summer; if the handle of the Dipper points to the west, everything will be autumn;
The handle points north, and all the world is east.
But the problem is that the top of the head is not the real North Star. It is most likely replaced by a night pearl, and it should be embedded in the stone wall at the top. How could this possibly move!
"Okay, I
If we assume those luminous pearls can really move, then..."
I asked Shen Yuan in confusion: "Then how do you judge that the handle of the Big Dipper is pointing to the west? The compass is unreliable now. We can't figure out the southeast, northwest, and northwest in this closed place."
Shen Yuan pointed to the top of his head and said: "Boss Ye, why have you forgotten that the top of our head is the White Tiger and the Seven Constellations of the West. In other words, as long as the handle of the Big Dipper points to the White Tiger and the Seven Constellations, it means it is pointing to the west."
Yes! How could I have forgotten this? In fact, I didn’t pay attention to these at all, but the most important question now is that the Big Dipper stars replaced by night pearls will really move! I am very suspicious, but I am not completely sure.
Because there are too many weird things happening in this place.
"Yes! Yes!"
Shale shouted loudly, which startled me. He shouted excitedly: "Grandpa Shen, you can really move."
I squinted my eyes and looked at the top of my head. The Big Dipper was still where it was. I said, "I'm sick. I was so startled. Where did it move?"
Shale said excitedly: "Brother Ye Zi, it's really moving. I remember when I looked up for the first time, the top of the largest stalagmite just blocked the star on the far right. Now I have seen that star move out.
It’s two fingers long, if Grandpa Shen hadn’t mentioned this, I wouldn’t have paid attention.”
"Neuropathy!"
I gestured with my middle finger and gave it to Shale, saying, "Your teacher has never taught you that movement is relative. You didn't see it just now, but now you see it, it's not necessarily that it's moving. Maybe you're moving it yourself."
Shale quickly said: "But I have been sitting here and haven't moved. Since I haven't moved, it must be the star that moves."
I was stunned. Indeed, Shale had always been sitting in that position without moving. I quickly walked under the stalagmite, looked at the tip of the stalagmite, and then deliberately let the tip block the last star of the bucket handle.
That is to say, the Fluctuating Star. Make your eyes, the tip of the stalagmite, and the Fluctuating Star form a straight line.
One minute later, my eyes were a little dry. Two minutes later, my neck felt uncomfortable. Three minutes later, my whole body felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, my whole body was shaken, and a shaking star emerged from the tip of the stalagmite.
slight light
, in my sight and feeling, the faint light is like the newborn sun, slowly... slowly rising, uncle! It's really moving!
Everyone sat in a circle around the huge stalagmite and waited slowly. Although the handle was not far from the west, the handle moved very slowly and was difficult to detect with the naked eye. If the handle pointed to the west, White Tiger Seven
Overnight stay takes about an hour.
Shen Yuan was very close to the stalagmite, almost touching the edge of the stalagmite's base. He didn't feel like sitting or lying down. He just kept looking up.
"Take a rest, Old Man Shen."
Seeing him looking very tired like this, I said, "It will take some time until the handle of the bucket reaches due west."
Shen Yuan finally changed his posture, sat up completely, and said: "Boss Ye, this Big Dipper is very strange."
"Hmph!"
I said with a smile: "It must be weird, it's like having legs and it can still move. When I find the soul summoning order, I will dig them all out and take a look. Maybe they are treasures more valuable than the Night Pearl."
Shen Yuan said: "That's not what I'm referring to. When the Big Dipper outside is moving, the entire Big Dipper is moving, drawing a big circle, while the Big Dipper here only has six stars moving, drawing a circle around the Tianji star.
From the beginning to the end of the circle, the star Tianji has not moved."
I said: "If it moves like this, what can we do? I also know that the Big Dipper moves counterclockwise around the North Star, but there is no North Star here, so we can only move around ourselves. What are you doing?"
Always concerned about those trivial things."
"Details determine success or failure." Wu Zijin supported Shen Yuan from the side.
"Shut up."
I was too lazy to quarrel with them, and said, "Sir, let me take a nap first, and then call me when the handle of the bucket is almost due west."
"What you said makes sense. This is the Taiyan number, not the Dayan number outside."
Shen Yuan lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "In any maze, as long as you don't destroy it randomly, there will always be a mystery. Through the mystery, you can find a way out. It is very likely that the Big Dipper is turning like this on purpose to let people who enter the maze
Find this strange stalagmite through the Dimensional Star of the Beidou, and then find a way to break the maze."
