Episode 353 A Heavenly Treasure (Page 1/1)

Wherever you can find Halib in the grassland, you can hear songs in praise of him.

If the old Eji in the depths of the grassland didn't call the agate in his hand agate, he would affectionately call it Hailibu.

Not to be outdone, Yamaji Momoka also told the story about Agate Lake.

Agate Lake has been highly valued by people since ancient times, and it is the "Abderi" (meaning "cabinet") of agate and gemstones dedicated to ancient emperors and royal families.

Legend has it that a long time ago, the Gobi Desert here was a large lake with a crystal clear bottom.

The blue waves in the lake are rippling, and the sky and water are the same color. The fairies in the sky were attracted by this beautiful lake and floated into the lake to bathe.

They were so happy in the water that they forgot to go back to heaven.

Suddenly, the drums sounded, and the fairies left in a hurry, leaving behind many jewels in a hurry, which became the current Agate Lake.

Beautiful myths add to the mystery of Lake Agate, but it is no substitute for science.

?? Geologists explain that the basalt here is the product of a volcanic eruption more than 100 million years ago.

Due to the rapid dissipation of volcanic gases, many pores and voids are left in the rock.

Volcanic hydrothermal fluids saturated with silica are pervasive and fill these pores and voids.

Over a long period of time, countless agate and jasper have been formed here.

Intense weathering and erosion freed agate and jasper from the basalt and scattered across the desert, and the storm carried them into the lake.

Due to successive years of drought, the lake dried up, revealing the bottom of the lake covered with agate jasper, so there is this strange and rare natural landscape - Agate Lake.

Onyx Lake is located at the foot of the Aolun Ula Mountain, and the famous hills nearby are Tulaga and Abdekou, each with its own story.

Ao Lun Ula is a treasure place for the gods to gather, and Tulaga is a pot for cooking food when the gods gather.

These names give the lake a sacred and solemn, mysterious and solemn color.

Legend has it that Genghis Khan's luan was filled with gems from the lake of Agate, and the agate produced here was strung together with many of the rosaries of Nomen Khan, meaning "King of France". The Manchu people, who rise between the white mountains and black waters, never forget the treasures of Agate Lake.

After entering the customs, the Qing court hurriedly dispatched the Urad tribe from the Hulunbuir grassland, where water and grass were abundant for thousands of miles, to the Gobi Desert in the northwest.

It is called the reward for meritorious deeds, but it is actually to occupy and protect Agate Lake.

?????? In the 80s of the last century, the Bayannur area was still a vast Gobi, until a person known as the "stone maniac" found a valuable strange stone here, and the agate lake caused a sensation in the world.

The name of this discoverer is Lao Zhang, the hero of "Chicken Out of the Shell".

"I'm familiar with Lao Zhang, the last time I was in the ring, Lao Zhang just introduced himself in general, and the legend about him has long spread in our Gobi Desert. ”

Little Apple was very excited when she heard Yamaji Peach Blossom talk about Lao Zhang, took over the topic, and talked endlessly.

Lao Zhang is a native of Beiyu Village, Beiyu Town, Longyao, Hebei Province, and left his hometown with his father to go to the northwest when he was a teenager.

In the autumn of 1949, after graduating, he was assigned to work at the Wushenqi Grassland Construction Station in Inner Mongolia.

At that time, he was full of enthusiasm and determined to dedicate his youth and blood to the grassland.

In 1955, he was transferred to the Ordos Grassland Workstation.

On this day, he came to a rural supply and marketing cooperative, and happened to encounter a quarrel between the director of the local supply and marketing cooperative and a herdsman.

It turned out that the local supply and marketing cooperatives were collecting bones at a price of one penny per catty, but the director said that he would not accept the "bones" brought by the herdsman, because he thought that they were not bones but stones.

If he didn't take it, the herdsmen wouldn't leave, so the two quarreled.

Lao Zhang was curious, so he leaned over to take a look, and it turned out that those "stones" were actually fossils of elephant jawbones and tusks.

At that moment, Lao Zhang's heart was suddenly very excited, as if he had some kind of emotional communication with those fossils.

Lao Zhang said to the herdsman: "Don't quarrel, he doesn't want it, I want it." ”

So, he bought all the fossils for five cents per catty, and learned from the herdsman that the fossils came from the Wuding River Valley. He then followed the herdsman to the Wuding River.

As soon as he entered the herdsman's house, he saw a huge crescent-shaped horse-tethered stake in the yard, and Lao Zhang recognized it as an ivory fossil at a glance.

After surveying the neighborhood, he realized that he had entered an area with a high concentration of paleontological fossils.

This encounter with fossils made Lao Zhang have a strong interest in stones.

He began to collect animal fossils and other strange stones in the Wuding River area.

To this end, he visited experts everywhere, studied his own and studied hard, and gradually became a local expert in gem identification.

???????? One day, in the Bayannur region of western Inner Mongolia, the driver who was driving for Lao Zhang and his party got lost, and then encountered a level 12 gale. The wind blew the yellow sand and flew up like fist-sized stones that smashed the glass of a car.

For a while, the wind was howling, the sky was dark, and everyone was very afraid, thinking that they could not escape this catastrophe.

But Lao Zhang is not afraid, his character is to dare to fight with the sky and the earth.

Later, the wind and sand really stopped, and Lao Zhang and his party did not have any major incidents.

At dawn the next day, when his companions were still asleep, Lao Zhang got up.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he suddenly made a "dang" sound under his feet, and looked down: "Oh my God, what kind of stone is this!"

It is topped with shiny pearls, chalcedony, and agate, and these treasures are glued together like a cornucopia.

It's a big guy that looks like it weighs hundreds of pounds.

Looking around, the gems are scattered everywhere, as if they were deliberately placed by artificial, very neat.

At this moment, it dawned on him: this is the Agate Lake in local folklore!

He broke into the agate lake, which was full of treasures! He was so excited that he cried and laughed, shouted and jumped.

The colleague who was sleeping was woken up by him, and when he got up and looked, he was stunned, because the treasure here is so amazing!

?????? The discovery of Agate Lake made Lao Zhang excited, and he sat in Agate Lake for a long time and was reluctant to leave.

There was no water or road here, but he didn't care.

His companions were gone, and he was left alone.

During the period of stay, when there was no water and food, he crawled everywhere to find water to drink and something to eat.

Once, when he slept until midnight, he woke up and saw that the tent had been scraped away, so he rubbed his eyes and continued to sleep.

When the day dawned, the sandstorm came again, his mouth and ears were full of sand, and as soon as the sandstorm left, the rainstorm came again, and he did not hide, but stripped off his clothes and ran naked in the rainstorm.

At this moment, Lao Zhang is completely integrated with nature.

To him, he was content with the treasure by his side, and the ordeal was nothing.
