Chapter 360: Under the Devil's City

It is not just Yunduo who discovered the problem of getting lost. Many people have this question, but those with tour guides quickly got the answer, and the individual tourists like Yunduo naturally also know the answer.

In the area where the "Devil City" has been developed, tourism companies have piled up Arabian stones for tourists, using the method of ancient Arabs walking in the desert using stones as road signs to allow tourists to enter the "Devil City" Do not get lost when the depth is deep. A pile of stones indicates the route of the expedition, two piles of stones indicate a fork in the front of the expedition route, and a circle of small stones placed around the two piles of stones indicates that there is danger ahead of the expedition route.

Everyone quickly understood the meaning of these little stones, and the three children showed a keen interest in this stone pile route. They quickly learned the meaning of these stones from the mouths of others.

A pile of stones indicates that there is a road ahead, if two piles of stones indicate a fork in the road ahead, a pile of stones in the middle of the fork indicates the direction of travel. Three piles of stones indicate that the road ahead is very good and there are water and people. Some stone piles have different meanings. Some small stones are placed around a pile of big stones, indicating that the place is not safe. Beware of robbers.

The evening in the "Devil City" looks very strange, the dusk is vast, the setting sun is in the sky, the setting sun is like blood, and it looks exceptionally desolate and sad.

When the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared little by little, the mania and worry in my heart seemed to disappear into the night with it. At first, the wind was like a wandering soul, and it blew for a while. Gradually, it blew stronger and stronger, revealing the nature of a ghost, wherever it passed, flying sand and rocks, the empty castle wailed all over the field when it was neutral. The moon is still the crescent moon, and the stars are still those stars, just because of the wind. Everything has changed. They smile secretly at you, as if they were playing this chess game to lure you into the urn.

The wind in "Devil City" is different from other winds. It has no place to start when it comes, and there is no place to find it when it goes. In a blink of an eye, the wind stopped and the sand stopped, and the moon star was shining again, shining in the open space, as if what I had just experienced was a dream.

Yunduo, like most people, had the honor to witness this scene, compared to the time that most people chose deliberately. Yun Duo and the three children are completely coincidental. Hearing that people around them all came to watch the sunset specially, Yun Duo also felt that they were very lucky. If it's daytime, you might miss such a wonderful dance of the wind.

They are not familiar with this place because of the clouds. It was late again, so I simply went to dinner with a team with a local guide. After eating a dinner that was not very delicious, most people sat on the floor and listened to the tour guide to talk about some things about the "Devil City". It's no wonder that there are some imaginary things, and the tour guide's three-inch tongue has played a huge role. It was until late that everyone left to rest.

According to textual research, in the Cretaceous period more than 100 million years ago, this was a freshwater lake with rippling blue waves and vast smoke. The lake was surrounded by lush vegetation, swamps, verdant shrubs, and trees covering the sky. It is a blessing for many wild animals and plants Home. later. As the earth's crust subsided slowly over a long period of time, a sandy mud layer composed of sandstone and shale was deposited in the lake. After two large crustal movements in Indochina and Yanshan, the crust rose. The lake gradually dried up, and it turned into an endless Gobi platform.

The northwest of the platform faces the old wind vents into the Junggar Basin. Therefore, this Gobi platform is always affected by directional winds of grade 5 or 6 or above, combined with the torrential rain and snowmelt floods that are unique to the continental climate. Over time, countless ravines have been formed, accelerating nature's carving of the platform. Because of the different nature of the rocks that make up the platform. Some are hard, some are soft, some are dense, some are sparse, and their resistance to weathering and rain erosion is different, causing the baptism of difference, making the terraces look strange and varied.

Over time, it has created the magic and magnificence of the Devil City today.

Walking into the Devil City, you will feel that it is an ancient city of vicissitudes, a city of fantasy, a city full of connotations, a city full of personality, and a city that gives people endless enlightenment and endless imagination. Although it does not have the beauty of Guilin's mountains and waters, the danger of the towering Kunlun, and the beauty of Jiuzhai Tianchi, its majesty, its simplicity, its primitiveness and atmosphere are incomparable. The peculiarity of the Devil City lies in its changes. With the faint morning light and the footsteps of the sunset, the hills and the castles constantly change their appearance. The charm of Devil City lies in her tolerance, embracing the wonders of the world, hiding the cleverness of many families, and embracing ancient mysteries.

The antiquity of the Devil City is relative to the life course of human beings. When the earth was born and when it died, we cannot know it in detail and accurately. We can only detect its past from the geological structure, predict and imagine its future, and stand tall. These "devil residents" in the Devil City have experienced hundreds of thousands of years of training, but they have witnessed the changes in the appearance of this land. The wealth of the Devil City lies not only in its appearance, but also in its connotation. We don't fully know how many treasures there are under its feet, but the rich oil and natural gas resources are enough to make it a treasure.

When Yun Duo heard that there was oil in the ground, he quietly dissipated his spiritual knowledge. Sure enough, the oil reserves below were amazing, but many of them were hidden very deep. Yun Duo suspects that the current level of science and technology of the Chinese people is fundamental The oil cannot be found, and even so, it is still considerable. And there are a lot of natural asphalt below, this resource is really rich, I don’t know if the country knows.

Not to mention these rich resources, the primitive, rough, majestic, atmospheric, and unique topography of the Devil City has also been favored and loved by many directors. It has a huge attraction to Chinese and foreign tourists and has formed a famous film and television location shooting. Ground. "Soul of the Devil City", "Gold Rush King", "Su Wu Shepherd", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Heaven and Earth Heroes", "Seven Swords Under Tianshan", "Western Holy Land", "Gobi Mother", "No Man's Land" "" and dozens of film and television works were shot here. As a result, it has become a scenic spot in Xinjiang, the most magnificent Yadan in China, and the world's devil city-a place where Karamay people, especially Wuerhe people, are proud of.

And Yun Duo accidentally discovered an infuriating thing. When Spirit Consciousness went to explore the vicinity of the so-called "city", he found that many castles were hollowed out, or simply collapsed. At the beginning, Yunduo didn't understand why many castles here were hollowed out or even collapsed. These are obviously man-made behaviors. Is it allowed, otherwise, why would there be tools left in it?

However, Yunduo discovered that there are some "stones" inside these wind and rain carved rocks, which are of different sizes and shapes. At this time, Yun Duo didn't know that this was the goal of those people's digging. Although she looked at the "stones" inside, some of them were very beautiful, but she did not have the desire to let Yun Duo do it. She just didn't understand why a good castle had to be dug a big hole, or even collapsed.

The puzzled cloud didn't know why several castles were hollowed out until later. It turned out that everything was because of the popular collection of "Yadan Stones" a few years ago.

Yadan stone is a new type of stone that has only flown into the strange stone market in recent years. It is named after the Yadan wind-eroded landform area produced in the Gobi Desert. The stone is sandstone nodules, usually formed on the steep cliffs of mounds. It has a peculiar appearance and various poses, often with a peanut-like vein texture, so it is also called "peanut stone". The formation principle is that the mineral clumps in the soil mounds gradually penetrate into the sand and clay through a long natural course, and agglomerate into nodules that are harder than the surrounding rock. Some of them are stripped by natural weathering and scattered on the surface, and some are hidden in the sandy soil layer of the cliff wall and must be manually excavated.

The shape of Yadan stone is spherical, oval, elliptical and irregular. There are two kinds of single and multi-body. The larger one is hundreds of kilograms, and the smaller one is like a pigeon egg. The whole body is rough and has no stone skin. It is made of cement that was accidentally dampened. There are light gray, earthy yellow, yellowish brown, grayish brown and other colors.

The single ones are mostly round or oblate, and the multi-body ones are made up of multiple nodules of different shapes bonded together to form different objects, or like birds and beasts, or like swallows and dragons, or take hold. The momentum of the cloud grabbing the stone, or swimming like a carp in the north. Some of the shapes are abstract, some are weird, some are simple and lively, and some are solemn and solemn. They are full of eccentricity and rich in posture. Because they can form a scene independently, they are beloved by Shi You.

Because there is no smooth and shiny stone skin, no gorgeous colors, and the veins and textures on the surface of the texture cannot form a concrete pattern, the shape has become the only play point of Yadan stone. Therefore, the composition is clear, the image is clearly expressed, the shape is full of changes, and the cartoon-shaped Yadan stone is the most popular.

However, it should be noted that Yadan stone is the natural beauty created by nature with time polishing, and it cannot be accompanied by too many artificial elements. The rough stone is excavated from the cliff wall of the mound, and after removing the floating soil and dirt on the stone surface, at most Oil conservation, without any processing and artificial modification. This is also the value of Kistler's natural and non-replicable nature.

Yadan stone has entered the strange stone market as an ornamental stone for only a few years, but the price has risen extremely fast. In recent years, at various stone exhibitions, Yadan stones with a price of more than one million yuan are not uncommon. It is also because of such an extremely high price that unscrupulous businessmen emptied the castle here in the "Devil City" for profit.

In order to excavate sandstone concretions, these greed-for-profit people have arbitrarily destroyed several castles that have been hollowed out and collapsed, and the environment has been severely damaged! However, the local government and the personnel of Wuerhe Scenic Area seem to be indifferent and turn a blind eye.
