The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps.

For the vast sea, everyone's hearts are full of longing and expectation.

"Wow!

When the boat went upstream, close to the canyon, everyone looked up at the towering cliffs, and felt how small they were, like ants on the ground, looking up at the giants in front of them.

"Hehe, of course, the largest height difference in the Panlong River Grand Canyon is seven or eight hundred meters. "Uncle Wang was driving the boat and wanted to introduce everyone.

"Is it really that tall?" Zhang Yue exclaimed in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"That's for sure, you know the Panlong River Bridge in front, right?" Seeing everyone nodding, Uncle Wang smiled and continued to explain:

"The Panlong River Bridge is more than 600 meters high, and it is not the highest place in the canyon, the highest place is not far ahead, and everyone can see it immediately. ”

Seven or eight hundred meters, that's almost equivalent to two or three hundred floors of skyscrapers, how tall is that, it's probably about to go deep into the clouds, right?

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng's heart was also full of expectations, and he really wanted to see the scenery at the highest point of the canyon.

"We're about to enter the canyon, so everyone hurry up and put on their coats. ”

Although they didn't understand what Uncle Wang meant, Zhang Feng and the others still put their coats on, and after walking for a while just now, everyone was a little feverish, so they took off their coats and held them in their hands.

"Wow! Why is it so cold all of a sudden??" As soon as I entered the canyon, it was like entering a different world, the outside of the canyon was like a warm spring, and the inside of the canyon was like a cool autumn.

The rolling mountains on both sides of the river, towering into the clouds, covering the sky and the sun, completely covering the bottom of the canyon, without the sunshine, the temperature in the canyon is obviously much lower than outside, so everyone will feel much cooler.

The bottom of the canyon was dimly lit, as if it were cloudy, and the sun was completely invisible.

The tall, straight cliffs are home to a variety of tenacious plants, including common thatch, skin, and a large number of mosses and ferns.

Suddenly, a touch of stunning green appeared on the cliff wall hundreds of meters high, and there was actually a small tree growing on such a smooth cliff, Zhang Feng was shocked, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and looked carefully, it was really a small tree.

"Brother, do you see if there's a tree growing on it??" the sharp-eyed sister also saw the plants above the canyon and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, it's a cypress tree, it is said to have grown for hundreds of years, although I don't know if it's true or not, but it's not far off, because I heard the old people in our village say that it was discovered before liberation. Uncle Wang introduced to everyone with a smile.

Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks.

Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south.

Yabai's perseverance and perseverance really shocked everyone and made everyone extremely admired.

Rooted in such a barren mountain cliff, without the slightest soil, let the wind and rain blow, the cliff cypress persisted for hundreds of years, still standing on the cliff, exuding vitality, standing proudly, tenacious growth.

"It's so great!" Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, I don't know if it's great or not, but it's true that it's very valuable, and not long ago, someone spent 10,000 yuan, ready to let everyone help get it down......"

"What happened later, did anyone go up?" Before Uncle Wang finished speaking, Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, money can make ghosts grind, 10,000 yuan is a lot, but the cliff here is so steep, is the cypress tree on it so easy to take down, five or six groups of people came in succession but failed, and the last time someone almost fell to death, so since then no one dares to hit its attention!" Uncle Wang explained with a smile.

Hearing Uncle Wang's words, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, such a tenacious tree, if it was dug up, it would be a pity, this is the most beautiful scenery in the canyon.

"Brother, is Yabai very valuable?, why would anyone take the risk to dig it??" Zhang Yue asked Zhang Feng curiously.

"Hehe, Yabai is a national cherished and protected plant, and the root carving made of it is very popular with collectors......"

"So that's the case...... Zhang Yue nodded silently, and the others finally had a further understanding of Yabai.

Many people may not know that the cypress is an endangered national treasure.

However, with the operation of unscrupulous merchants, the root carvings made of Yabai are of high value.

The rise of Yabai collection investment is a recent thing. In less than 5 years, Yabai has changed from a niche root carving material to a very popular cultural and entertainment category, often hundreds of thousands, millions, Yabai transaction price records have been constantly refreshed, so that the always tepid root art industry is jaw-dropping.

In 2011, a tree with a price of 380 million was exhibited in Yanjing, which suddenly caused a sensation in the entire collection world.

As a result, in the past three to four years, the return on investment of the Yabai collection has generally exceeded 30%. Its appreciation potential lies in three main aspects:

First of all, from the point of view of artistic value, the collection of Ya Cypress is elegant; secondly, from the point of view of stock, the growth rate of Ya Cypress is extremely slow, "a hundred years is not more than a foot", so the number of collectibles in the market will not increase; third, the Ya Cypress is also considered to have medicinal value.

Although the collection value of the jaywood is amazing, it is a national endangered protected plant, and it is as precious as the panda.

It generally grows in areas above 1500 meters above sea level, and has not been successfully introduced and cultivated artificially. At the beginning of this century, the plants found in the mountain city of Daba Mountain are endangered, and in the 90s of the last century, they were declared extinct due to their small numbers, and now they are also banned from logging.

According to the statistics of the news media, as many as 20 or 30 people fall to their deaths every year by taking risks and digging cypress on the cliff.

It's a pity that almost all of these are poor farmers, who don't know that the jaybark cypress is a state-protected plant, and they are willing to take risks for the tens of thousands of hardships, and finally lose their lives.

If you succeed in digging up the cypress, the biggest profit will be taken by those profiteers.

"Big brother, is there really a Yabai worth 380 million?" Hearing Zhang Feng's introduction, Zhang Yi couldn't help but exclaim, and hurriedly asked Zhang Feng.

"Hehe, that's just the profiteer's own speculation, and the owner himself marked the price when he exhibited it. Zhang Feng smiled, although the cypress is precious, it is not so precious, even the Huanghuali and red sandalwood furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties are not so exaggerated.

According to Zhang Feng's speculation, the so-called 380 million cypress root carvings must be the hype of profiteers and countless media, because there are no more than 100 million Yabai root carvings have been sold, not even tens of millions, generally only hundreds of thousands, millions.
