The central place that controls "Yuanshi" should be like the cockpit of the robot he watched when he was a child. It does not have to be full of cyberpunk or postmodernism, but it should have various screens, rockers, buttons, crisscrossing lines and pipes, and a certain auxiliary control system with a sweet voice.
It’s a pity that reality and imagination are different after all.
The control center of Yuanshi is an altar.
Outside the corridor is a huge cave square, with a radius of hundreds of meters. The altar is located in the center of the square. The word "altar" is not seen by Zheng Qing, but by the old man Ruoyu.
Standing at the end of the corridor, Zheng Qing could only see that there was an empty square in front of him.
Around the square, surrounded by stone walls of the cave, stands Ionian colonnades, supporting the dome of the entire cave square. Below the colonnade is a circle of low altar walls, with white marble high relief murals embedded in the walls. The relief tape contains a story of a giant and a firebird, a dragon, a snake, and many strange enemies who come across the galaxy. The entire architectural structure is very similar to the first hall of the First University. Although when Zheng Qing looked at the relief statues, the sculptures on the murals were very quiet, like real stones, the image full of outstanding momentum still created a strong tension, which made people unable to help but hold their breath.
Zheng Qing guessed that the giant should be the legendary skeleton used when refining the "Yuanshi" - just like the legendary giant Artu Groot used by his "Taiyi" - and the content on the relief belt should be the legend's past experience.
The dome above the colonnade is full of stars.
But those stars were not dead, because in just a few seconds after coming in, Zheng Qing glanced out of the corner of the dome and saw a meteor passing by in a very obscure corner of the dome.
He had reason to believe that this star was related to the ‘navigation system’ or ‘divination system’ of ‘Yuanshi’.
Under the dome and in the wall of the altar is a square paved with bluestone slabs. Each slab is engraved with dense runes. Zheng Qing was very sharp-eyed and saw his familiar brushstrokes on several slabs.
His former little hand mission!
Those boring and tedious etching tasks received from the teaching assistant team! Those little hand tasks he dragged his tired body and worked hard to complete after the evening class! It turned out to be used here!
Because Old Ruoyu was right beside him, he couldn't show any excitement. However, he couldn't help but look around, trying to find more traces he might leave on the dense stone slabs.
"You have completed the etching of 261 talisman versions in total, of which 'Yuanshi' used 110 pieces, and 'Taiyi' used 151 pieces... and you just saw three of them."
Old Man Ruoyu seemed to have guessed the boy's excitement, and a faint voice rang behind him: "——If you have time in the future, you can search for one piece of blue brick and one piece of blue brick slowly. But not today. Miss Colma's task is still very cumbersome today. You need to carefully observe everything she did on the altar."
Zheng Qing's excitement gradually cooled down, and with a little embarrassment, he lowered his head and gave a smile to the owner of "Yuanshi".
It's still the terrifying and hideousness of "as always".
Colma quickly avoided the edge-shaped uncomfortable expression movement.
Old Man Ruoyu stood at the exit of the end of the corridor and let out a sigh of relief: "——There is Yuanshi's control center in front. Just as I said before, I can only send you here. After entering..."
He seemed to want to tell the two young people what to say.
But when it came to his mouth, he stopped.
Finally, just waved.
"Go."
Standing at the exit of the corridor, Zheng Qing felt that the square in front of him was empty and flat, but when he stepped into the square, the starry sky on the dome suddenly rotated, and the bluestone slabs on the ground moved quickly like chess pieces on a chessboard. Even with the strength of the edge, Zheng Qing still felt a dizzy turn.
When everything is still.
He looked closely and saw that the square was still the same square, and the dome and starry sky were vaguely replaced. The surrounding altar walls and Ionian columns were exactly the same as what he saw at the end of the corridor.
The only difference is that the entrance and exit of the corridor behind him disappeared.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the wall of the altar, and the giants on the relief belt turned their heads together and looked at him with cold eyes. He was so scared that he hurried forward two steps, trying to stay away from the strange statues.
Da, da, da, da.
The sound of shoes hit the hard bluestone slab, making a crisp sound, echoing in the open square, making a particularly abrupt appearance. Zheng Qingxu looked at the sound, but saw Colma had already left him and was walking straight towards the center of the square.
Just as his eyes chased the witch and looked at the center of the square, he was shocked to find that there was a three-story blue glass round platform there. There were white marble fences around the round platform, and four green stone steps were placed in all directions, passing through the railing and reaching the center of the round platform.
A set of battle suits floated alone in the center of the round platform.
Zheng Qing finally understood why Old Man Ruoyu called this center the "altar".
"—The road I am taking now, from west to east, from the entrance to the center of the altar, is the 'Tiantian Road'."
Colma's voice suddenly sounded over the square, and the sound was particularly loud and clear under the blessing of the surrounding altar walls: "Tongtian Road passes through the altar, and the road connected to the bluestone steps opposite is called the "Tongshen Road". Continue to walk, you can see a small hall with three-eaves and spires at the end of the Tongshen Road, called "Bofu Palace", which is the place for worshiping the altar to worship the gods... Bofu is the legendary name used by "Yuanshi". You should be familiar with this name."
Not only is it familiar!
Zheng Qing subconsciously looked at the relief belts on the walls of the surrounding altars, and at the same time recalled the image of "Yuanshi" he had seen in the sea of clouds in his mind, and tried to connect them with the Bofu battle formation that the Yusin Hunting Team had practiced and used many times.
“—Is Bo’s father dead?”
"There are dead and there are living. Just like the name Monteria, every legendary Bofu giant will be named "Bofu" and travel all over the world."
While speaking, Colma's footsteps had stopped under the bluestone steps at the end of the "Tongtian Road". She did not immediately climb up, but pointed to the left: "The road in the north is called "Tongxin Road", which can reach the limbs and bones of "Yuanshi". If a part of its body is damaged during the battle, the accompanying alchemist can repair it in time... The road in the south is "Tongyuan Road". At the end of the road is the wing room and warehouse, which are used to accommodate our guards and His spare supplies."
