"In the history of this giant before, everything seemed insignificant then, how many brilliant, and now has only the collapsed buildings, Shimo honor rise and fall of the agenda for what is."
"After all, they have been brilliant, even if it is a short blink of an eye."
- Pirates and cats of dialogue
Car to Taxkorgan county, find shops stay there. It is August 15, a Jiaoyue hangs high in the sky. Dinner hours to eat the horse with the cake, drank a beer festival be passed. In such a night, cats have more phones to play, we have already grown accustomed to.
Fond, play a few to license, horse cat bird house back asleep. Pirates out of the door, according to store boss wife pointing at night to visit the Stone.
Moonlight diarrhea such as mercury, the Stone bleak one. A person standing in the city head, at a loss look around, Under the moonlight, a dark woods, shaking in the wind moaning Yi. Wall behind the rocks weeds, quiet with a collapsed buildings. Hidden in the darkness of the vast wilderness, full of unknown, deep and unpredictable. Vision As a result, Stone appeared then monotonous and bleak. Pirates deeply felt his own insignificance and helplessness, and even a bit scared. Sense of loss, apart from pirates ask myself, this is the year the prestigious Stone do?
Thinking, the forest note of claims issued in the sound, a half-shadow of the slow shift to high. Think of the Pamirs on the wolf legends, pirates scared into a cold sweat. Panic rooms are often billed as a look, but it is a small calf, slowly toward the village inside.
False alarm after the return to residence, passed midnight. Bird has long been snoring again and again. Wash stayed to sleep. In any case can not sleep at ease. In the daze and intermittent dream, lay down the dawn.
Morning, join us revisit Stone.
Morning, the first ray of sunshine heavy snow-capped mountains across the plateau will be a small town near the mountains and lit a yellow. Last night the moon still hung high in the sky, could not bear to fall, as if filled with deep feelings of attachment to the town. Some cool October air, the leaves start falling, the wind had Office, on the ground rustling. The occasional sound of the door sounded, the roof of the smoke drifting away from time to time. A Tajik woman passed, pirates called to her, according to Chang phase. To thank her, her indifferent smile, and floated away. Street reverted to calm, just like a gentle breeze of the lake, ripples after, still sealing.
Turned a corner in front of the Stone.
Onto the high stage, behind the newly built section of wall, not far from the high slopes, Stone stands in the morning breeze among the backdrop of blue sky showing more of its stalwart and vigorous. Outer wall already dilapidated, inner city walls quite complete, the city has long been abandoned building.
Into the inner city, held onto the cold walls, feel the wind and rain is something which the memory of the millennium and the vicissitudes of life. Each piece of stone walls, each one historic houses, each cut off wall, every one path, time traces are vivid. Way back when, Stone ranked the Western Regions, and in this one ruins, has also been voices, joy horse, "Zui Li burning the midnight oil to see the sword, Dreaming of Trumpets associates." Broken head above the city, but also have flags fluttering, drums of war again and again. However, time has passed, the course of the millennium, such as the water flows like a hurry. The number of noise and brilliant, without exception, in terms of time and history in front, to the nothingness. Leaving only the collapsed buildings, let us pay tribute nostalgia.
Pirates and cats wandered in the Stone, the horses and birds have been unknown destination. Went to the city edge, around the city look around. Blue sky, the "Father of the iceberg," Muztag quietly stand in the distance. A small town surrounded by mountains, fertile land, rich pastures. Breeze blowing, bringing soil and grass aroma. Take a look at the city, the roof of the smoke has cleared. We walked down the Stone City, encountered the men hurrying. Children enjoy playing on the grass, a few women to chat with the door. The Stone of future generations in mind, if there is a small town then admired the brilliant sigh it? May have gone, and perhaps faint memory.
Pirate said: "In the history of this giant before, everything seemed insignificant then, the number of brilliant Stone, but now has only the collapsed buildings, what honor rise and fall of the agenda for what?"
Cat says: "After all, they have been brilliant, even if it is a short blink of an eye."
Prior to this, the pirates did not think Stone would you leave such a deep impression. Later, go to Jiaohegucheng cats, she said that in relation to Jiaohegucheng the integrity of the Stone that there are some broken, but it left her unparalleled shock. Can anyone tell us, is thousands of miles apart Shimo make our way in a thousand years after this date, Bashansheshui come here to worship ascend to issue such a lament do? The Millennium History is like an epic, how many people and things can be the vastness of the long scroll left or shallow or deep mark on? Stone if there is knowledge, will be pleased to strike.
When leaving Taxkorgan, pirate back and saw the picture is impressive. Stone, like the Cheng Kuo, as reflected in the blue sky where Mirage, and echo the Muztag. Sunlight slanting to sprinkle on the ruins, to the town put on a heroic touch of color. A couple of birds passing the sky, without a trace. In this way the throngs of town silent, watching us, looking at Taxkorgan, like a powerful but benevolent father, watching their children and continue their own millennium watch.
Have been the wind. The wind Department, clearly see that the Stone-hole view of the rise and fall history, honor the eyes experienced many vicissitudes, has been laden with tears.
Perhaps this is to find the answer.
