Chapter 48: Exploring the Stone Forest
Whereas, of the three red dots marked on the map, Yunnan Shilin Mansion is the closest to Kunming Prefecture. Therefore, the six of Hua Feng decided to slightly modify the itinerary agreed upon in the morning.
The itinerary in the early stage remained the same, and it was still to visit three families and one gang in Yunnan one by one. Later, the itinerary was slightly adjusted, that is, I went to the Stone Forest to find out, and then visited other friends' families as originally planned.
As for whether to invite the other seven people to participate in the exploration of the Stone Forest Mansion together, it depends on the situation of the visit.
......
The six of Huafeng were able to complete the agreement, and Tang Huaming, Xiang Tianxiao, Duan Jinchao, and the Zhang brothers had already taken their luggage and moved into the "Good Luck Lai" inn one after another.
Under the enthusiasm of the shopkeeper Sun Youfu, the rooms of the eleven people are all on the second floor, and the serial numbers are next to each other.
In addition, the second floor is no longer inhabited.
Although there were still three rooms left, the empathetic Sun Youfu let them be empty and no longer arranged for other guests to stay.
It also gives the young heroes a unique respect and due space!
......
When the sun was setting, under the instruction of their respective owners, Liu Meng and Su Gaofei came to the "Good Luck Lai" inn successively and had dinner with Hua Feng and others.
The group of heroes gathered, and after eating and drinking, it was already the beginning of the lanterns.
Everyone chatted for a while before they rested.
......
In the next two months, according to the established plan, the heroes visited the three major families and a large gang in Yunnan non-stop.
Without exception, we were greeted and treated like VIPs!
Thirteen friends are together all day long, visiting relatives and friends, drinking in big bowls, eating meat, confirming martial arts, talking about Taoism, and living a very comfortable life!
......
At the beginning of April, a group of thirteen people returned to Kunming Mansion again.
Under the initiative of Liu Meng and Su Gaofei, this time a group of thirteen people all stayed in the "Good Luck Lai" inn.
The shopkeeper Sun Youfu saw the old guests coming to the door, and he was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth, and he was busy serving, very enthusiastic and respectful!
There are two reasons why Sun Youfu did this.
First, he had already learned from Ran Huanyu's mouth that Hua Feng valued himself and his intentions. agreed without hesitation on the spot, as long as Hua Shaoxia needed it, Tiannan Haibei followed without hesitation.
Second, his big backer, Liu Meng, the young master of the Liu family, personally stayed in the store, how could he not serve properly?
......
After getting along for nearly two months, Liu Meng, Su Gaofei, Duan Jinchao, Tang Huaming and other seven people have also won the full trust of Huafeng and the six people.
From Ren Yong, who was unstoppable, they learned the causes and consequences of the tragedy of the South China Dart Bureau and Hua Feng's wishes.
In addition to expressing deep sympathy and hatred for the enemy, the seven unanimously expressed their determination to help!
......
The next morning, Hua Feng invited Liu Meng and seven others into his guest room.
After everyone sat down, Hua Feng took out two maps for them to see, and told them the strange things and his plans according to the truth.
It immediately aroused the great interest of Liu Meng and others, and they asked to accompany them to explore the secret.
They do not seek extravagance, but they seek to gain knowledge.
And swore to keep his mouth shut and never leak this secret, even if his own old man didn't want to know half a point!
In order to avoid suspicion, Liu Meng and Su Gaofei did not even return home, and went to Shilin Mansion with Hua Feng and others in the afternoon......
Shilin Mansion is not far from Kunming Mansion, only about 150 kilometers, and is the place where the Yi people live. It covers an area of about 400 square kilometers and is between 1,500 and 1,900 meters above sea level.
The Stone Forest Scenic Area is the only karst landform site located in the subtropical plateau area of the United States, and is a veritable "forest" composed of rocks.
Known as "the first wonder of the world"!
Due to its antiquity, complexity, multi-period and rarity of development and evolution, as well as the diversity of landscape forms, the stone forest has become a typical example of such karst geological and landform relics and the origin of the word "stone forest" in various parts of the country, and has strong exploration and research value.
......
After two days of slow travel, Hua Feng and his group of thirteen people finally came to the entrance of the big stone forest on a sunny morning.
But see that on the stone peak on the right side of the stone gate, there are two red Lishu characters engraved with "Stone Forest", which complement each other with the stone pillars and stone peaks that rise from the ground, which looks ancient and mysterious.
The limestone in the stone forest is dozens of meters high, and the short one is about eight meters, and from a distance, it looks like a labyrinth.
Standing in the stone pillar like a forest, Hua Feng, Meng Qi, Xiao Yun, Liu Piaopiao and others who came here for the first time couldn't help but be shocked by the magic of nature!
Looking at the long quantity, the whole stone forest, such as forests, clouds, seas, mountains, and flowers......
It looks so majestic, vast and beautiful.
If you look at it separately, there are also stone forest depressions, stone forest valleys, stone forest basins, stone forest slopes, stone forest ridges, stone forest karst hills, and pinnacle dissolution castles......
It's even more dazzling and dizzying.
......
Everyone counted them with great interest, and there were more than 30 kinds of surface dissolution forms. For example, dissolution discs, dissolution lines, dissolution ditches, dissolution nests, dissolution side grooves, well-shaped dissolution troughs, dissolution surfaces under the soil, residual red algae marks of dark river pipelines, gravity collapse ditches, etc.
These ingenious forms of dissolution are adorned among the stone pillars.
Coupled with the gray-brown strange stone peaks that are full of mistakes and rise from the ground to the sky. It greatly improves the beauty of the whole stone forest!
According to the local people, there are typical karst semi-humid broad-leaved forests in the stone forest, during which there are more than 130 kinds of rare plants, in addition to many mammals, birds, and fish live in it.
......
According to the pawn records, the current stone forest has undergone nearly 300 million years of vicissitudes. The first limestone was formed in the sea, and later due to the movement of the earth's crust, it was unbelievably shaped into a stone forest landform.
During this period, the stone forest was also baked by the hot volcanic lava and flooded by the vast lake, forming a lot of landscape. Among them, the large and small stone forests, black pine rocks, Feilong Waterfalls, Changhu Lake, Moon Lake, Zhiyun Cave, and Qifeng Cave are more famous.
In the stone forest landscape, its tall sword-shaped, columnar, mushroom-shaped, tower-shaped, tree-shaped, cone-shaped limestone is a typical representative of the stone forest.
It's breathtaking!
In addition, there are various karst formations such as karst hills, depressions, funnels, stone buds, dark rivers, stalactites, karst caves, dissolution lakes, Tiansheng bridges, cliffs, waterfalls, cone-shaped peaks, etc., the list goes on!
......
Hua Feng and his entourage walked through it, but they saw strange stones standing in a forest, abrupt and grandiose.
Between the peaks of the wall, the green vines hang stones, the golden bamboo is quite beautiful, the mountain flowers are fragrant, the spirit birds are singing, and the scene is full of vitality. In the meantime, some of the stone pinnacles resemble various animals, lifelike, realistic and fascinating!
