It's not that Yimu is petty, he is just worried that Aili will steal his business.
The two of them were not from the same travel agency. He had never met the tour guide Aili even on this travel route. The two had no previous interactions.
I heard that this guy was a soldier and his specialty is repairing cars. But since he likes to pretend to be serious, let him pretend. As long as it doesn't interfere with making money, there will be no conflict between the two parties.
Ethnic minorities usually get married early. Yimu has already had a girl he likes. Just to give his lover a decent wedding, he has been working hard during this period.
Now, of course, we must seize such a good opportunity to make money.
Money has to be earned, and of course the things you bring out must not deceive others.
In order to make sure nothing went wrong, Yimu called the hotels and meals they had booked respectively, repeatedly instructing them and confirming again that they must prepare the best rooms and the best ingredients.
On the way, Yang Xiao called Zhao Qingfan twice, but he didn't get through.
Yang Xiao estimated that this unlucky uncle was really scared now and did not dare to reveal his whereabouts at all.
Hiding here is also a helpless move.
Yang Xiao didn't panic. He was already here anyway, so he wasn't in a hurry. I have always wanted to travel to Northern Xinjiang before, but I just didn’t have the time. Although I came here with a mission this time, of course I also wanted to experience the customs and customs here.
After Yimu's introduction, he learned a lot about Devil City. This "castle" was also called Urho Wind City.
It is located in the Urho mining area on the lower reaches of the Jiamu River on the northwest edge of the Junggar Basin in Northern Xinjiang Province, 100 kilometers southwest of KL City.
The entire area is a wind-eroded landform with a weird and unique shape. The Mongolians call this city "Sulumhak", and the Uyghurs call it "Shaytan Kersi", which means the city of devils.
In fact, this is a typical Yadan landform area. "Yadan" means "steep-walled hill" in Uyghur. The Yadan landform is named after the Yadan area near Lop Nur in the Tarim Basin. A type of wind erosion landform formed under the environment.
The entire Devil City runs northwest and east-west, with a length and width of more than 5 kilometers and an area of about 10 square kilometers.
According to investigation, during the Cretaceous period about 100 million years ago, this place was a huge freshwater lake. Lush plants grow on the shores of the lake, and Urhostegosaurus, plesiosaurs, dinosaurs, Junggar pterosaurs and other ancient animals inhabit and breed in the water. At that time, this place was a "paradise" for aquatic animals to gather. Later, after two major The earth's crust changed, and the lake turned into a vast sea of land sandwiched between sandstone and mudstone. Geologically, it is called the "Gobi Platform."
Once upon a time, this place was inaccessible, and although the scenery was stunning, the number of tourists willing to come here was actually not that many throughout the year.
After all, it snows in the entire northern Xinjiang for half of the year. The rest of the time, there are often strong winds and flying dust.
Over the long years, under the long-term action of strong winds, the Devil's City has formed dense and well-proportioned sandstone strange shapes.
Because it is located at a wind outlet, there are constant strong winds all year round, and the maximum wind force can even reach level 10-12.
The strong northwest wind gave the Devil City its "name" and gave it the "shape" of a devil, becoming grotesque.
Looking at the Windy City from a distance, it looks like a large castle in medieval Europe. There are many castles, large and small, scattered high and low.
Over millions of years, due to erosion by wind and rain, ravines of varying depths have been formed on the ground, and the exposed stone layers have been carved into strange shapes by the strong winds: some have grinning teeth and look like monsters; some have towering dangerous towers with distinct butterfly formations, resembling ancient castles. ; Here it looks like pavilions and pavilions, with eaves and roofs; there it looks like a magnificent palace, standing proudly. It’s so varied and exciting.
The undulating hillside is covered with blood-red, blue, white, and orange stones of various colors, like beads left by a witch, adding a bit of mystery. Because Fengcheng is located at the mouth of the wind, whenever the wind blows, sand and rocks will fly, the sky will be dark and the earth will be dark, and strange shadows will be blurred.
Arrow-like air currents shuttle and swirl among the strange rock formations, making sharp sounds, such as howling wolves and tigers, and howling ghosts and gods. If you look around in silence on a dim moonlit night, the situation will be even more terrifying. (I really recommend everyone to visit this attraction. It is definitely a worthwhile trip.)
However, in recent years, Northern Xinjiang Province has once again vigorously developed tourism and invested a lot of government funds to support the creation of major attractions.
Devil City has also received preferential policies. Outside it, dozens of hotels and restaurants have been built, and an entire commercial street with tourist characteristics has been built.
Because of the improvement of related supporting facilities, it has attracted a large number of tourists to come for adventure tourism. Some film crews, because of the unique scenery here, have used Devil City as a high-quality location for many movies, further promoting the popularity of this place.
In the private room of the hotel, after a delicious meal of Northern Xinjiang delicacies, Yang Xiao once again showed an appetite that shocked both Li Zheng and the two tour guides.
Most of the roasted lamb dinner, which was enough for ten people, was eaten by him alone. He ate eight portions of the large plate of chicken alone and asked the boss to add noodles, which almost made him numb.
The chef in charge of the kebabs was so busy that he was sweating profusely. He thought a big tour group was coming and served the food so fast that he almost couldn't keep up.
Sure enough, the world is big and the food is the biggest.
After drinking and eating, Yang Xiao's mood improved a lot. Letting the two tour guides rest, he took Li Zheng and two others into the Devil's City.
Aili was a little worried at first. As a veteran, his sense of service and crisis awareness were much stronger than ordinary people. He directly proposed to follow, but was rejected.
Therefore, they could only repeatedly remind Yang Xiao and the two of them to bring locating walkie-talkies and stop forcing them.
According to his estimation, the two bosses who were enjoying themselves in the city would not be able to last long.
It's noon now, and the sun is blazing in the sky. Even if there is wind in Devil City, it will still feel unbearably hot.
They probably just went to take random photos and would come back soon.
To put it bluntly, this hot weather can only be regarded as drizzle for Yang Xiao. His current body's adaptability to temperature far exceeds the limits of ordinary people.
Turning around, he saw that Li Zheng was extremely well prepared and there was no way he could be held back.
He is dressed in a state-of-the-art outdoor suit, which is full of high-tech equipment. He wears an ultra-light AI smart helmet, an electronic temperature-control suit next to his body, and a civilian-powered exoskeleton that allows him to easily carry a load that is heavier than himself. Black backpack.
In addition to food and water, it also contains outdoor necessities such as medicine and tents.
Li Zheng had prepared a set of many things for Yang Xiao, but obviously, those were redundant.
The only thing Yang Xiao wore was a pair of sunglasses and a small bag.
Because he came in a hurry, the old man only briefly explained the reason for the incident.
A week ago, Song Tiange drove a group of tourists to the Gobi Desert to pick up jade.
This project is originally a perennial fixed project. Northern Xinjiang Province has a vast territory and rich resources. It is rich in "Hetian Jade", one of the four famous jade in country Z. It is famous for its exquisite production skills, beautiful shape and magnificent colors.
Among them, mutton-fat white jade is known as the top grade of soft jade and is extremely precious because of its extremely white color, fine texture, moist luster, and gel-like shape. Since the 1990s, the price of mutton-fat white jade has soared. In recent years, the price of seed material alone has been astonishingly high, ranging from three to five million yuan per kilogram, and as much as one to two million yuan.
On the Gobi Desert where Song Tiange drove tourists, of course it was impossible to pick up priceless mutton-fat jade. At most, he picked up some good-looking Gobi jade. Tourists also know that this kind of jade is not valuable, and everyone just plays with it. It’s just an experience, and you can take back some souvenirs without spending any money, so why not do it.
However, this time, a child unexpectedly discovered a strange stone.
It is about the size of a fist and is completely translucent. Under the sunlight, it appears as deep red as wine. It was vaguely visible that there seemed to be blood vessel-like filaments inside, and there was a black spot in the center, as if an insect was trapped.
At first, no one cared.
The entire Gobi Desert is vast and boundless. Over millions of years, strong winds have blown through this desolate land, and the ground is filled with all kinds of strange stones.
Although the stone in this little man's hand has some characteristics, it is not that special. In contrast, there are some lucky people who pick up glossy and moist Gobi jade, which often makes people exclaim.
Song Tiange didn't think much about it.
After the guys had been picking up for more than half an hour, he was ready to move everyone to other attractions. At this time, many people have not found the stone they want, often delaying a lot of time.
To this end, he took out the jade seeds he had prepared in the trunk and asked everyone to choose as they pleased.
These are all from real jade processing factories. They are also not valuable goods and are defective products. However, after processing, the quality is much better than the stones in the hands of tourists.
The little boy took a fancy to a piece of jade seed material the size of a seal at a glance. Without a second thought, he insisted on exchanging his own stone with Song Tiange.
Song Tiange nodded directly and agreed. The purpose was very simple, which was to quickly invite all these tourists to the car.
On the same day, all the trips ended.
Song Tiange thought about the jade seeds he had prepared. After using them for more than half a month, there was not much left, so he simply took the box with him and went to the jade processing factory he was familiar with to select some defective products.
But as soon as he left, something happened.
By chance, the owner of the processing factory fell in love with the red stone in his box and paid two hundred dollars to buy it.
Song Tiange was not stupid, and he immediately felt that this stone was extraordinary.
Although the jade in northern Xinjiang and the jade in southwest Xinjiang are both gemstone businesses, they are completely different. Although Song Tiange is in the tourism industry, he has lived in northern Xinjiang for so many years, so he is not proficient in the knowledge of jade, but he is also immersed in it and has heard a lot.
The stone that he didn't pay much attention to before, after he carefully looked at it, he might actually be a treasure.
