While Zhang Tie swept away the dust on a counter and saw the contents inside, Gerry and Sam, driven by great curiosity, quickly swept away the dust on a counter next to Zhang Tie, revealing the counter. The true appearance of those things below.
Even after a thousand years, under the protection of the complete sealing of the counter, there is still not much dust on the items inside the counter, which makes the contents inside even more clear.
Under the green light of the three people's fluorite lamps, the brilliance of the things on the counter became even more dazzling, like a deep dream that had been buried for thousands of years.
"This... these things are..." At this time, both Gerry and Sam were a little uncertain. An uncertain thought flashed through their heads, but this thought was facing the counter on the first floor. When it was full of things, it suddenly became "scary", so that both of them couldn't believe that what they saw could be real.
Zhang Tie was also stunned. His mood at the moment was similar to that of Sam and Gerry. They both couldn't believe that they would have such luck, because even in this era, near the flea markets near the Black Rock City train station , there are often scammers who use green or dark glass products to pretend to be expensive special gemstones that are only produced in the East to lure fools who want to get rich.
This precious gem, even before the great catastrophe, was a symbol of status and wealth for a few people in the Eastern Continent, or more accurately, the Chinese people. In this era, with the emergence of alchemists, this gem has become more and more popular. was given another, more shocking meaning.
This precious gem is called jade!
Unique jadeite.
In this era, this gemstone has another name outside of the Eastern Continent—the Stone of Eternal Life.
Before the Cataclysm, this gemstone was precious. But it's not outrageous yet. Compared with the gemstones such as diamonds that people respected in that era, there is still a huge price gap. But in this era, the values of the two have been reversed.
No one would be so boring as to sell fakes here 900 years ago. Zhang Tie looked at the various green jewelry and pendants on the counter, and a strange idea came to his mind.
"Peter..."
Hearing Gerry shouting about his life, Zhang Tie turned his head and glanced at Gerry and Sam, who were looking nervous. It was obvious that the two of them had guessed something. But it was really scary, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Just take a look and you will know..." Zhang Tie smiled. Even though he was not short of money now, he felt that his throat was still a little dry when he said this.
Zhang Tiezheng was about to take action, but Sam suddenly jumped up the stairs. "You... below, I'm watching from above!"
Zhang Tie knew that Sam was keeping watch for two people upstairs. Although Zhang Tie didn't believe that anyone else would dare to rush in and disturb him without risking his life. But at this time, it’s always right to be careful.
After Sam went up, Gerry didn't dare to take action easily, but looked at Zhang Tie.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Tie punched a counter in front of him.
The counter made a sound, and a layer of dust fell from it. , but the whole thing was intact. Zhang Tie was a little stunned because of the punch he just made. Although it only used three points of strength, it was still very amazing. Even if it was an iron plate in front of it, it would probably leave a fist mark, but when it hit the counter that seemed to be made of glass, there was no movement.
"Before the Cataclysm, the counters of stores selling precious gems and valuables were not ordinary glass, but special synthetic materials like glass made by humans at that time to protect the things inside the counter. It is safe when encountering robbers and various accidents. This material looks similar to glass, but it is harder than steel!" Gerry explained on the side.
Zhang Tie smiled slightly awkwardly, and no longer tried to smash the counter open with violence. Instead, he went behind the counter and groped around. There was a movable sliding door behind the counter. Zhang Tie just groped around and opened it with his hand. With his brute force, he tore off the rusty lock on the sliding door, and easily took out something from the counter.
It was a bracelet, a dark green bracelet. With Zhang Tie's discernment, which he had honed in the grocery store, he judged immediately that this bracelet was definitely not glass, and it was completely different from any gems and stones he had ever seen.
There wasn't much dust on the bracelet, and it looked particularly beautiful. When I had a chat with that guy Tang De before, that guy Tang De once told Zhang Tie some crude ways to identify true and false jadeite, but at that time Tang De laughed and said, I'm afraid Zhang Tie Tie has never had the opportunity to see what the real Stone of Immortality is in his life. In this era, the Stone of Eternal Life from the Eastern Continent was basically taken into the hands of the powerful forces in the Chinese race, and became a forbidden object for the alchemists of the Eastern Continent. Even if there was a small amount of leakage, those who could obtain the Stone of Immortality would not be able to obtain it. He was definitely not an ordinary person. At that time, Zhang Tie's daily pocket money was only a few copper coins. He didn't even dare to eat a bowl of rice wine for a few copper coins at home. How could he make Tang De I believe he will have the opportunity to come into contact with this precious gem in his life.
Zhang Tie gently placed the bracelet he was holding on his face.
Suddenly, a cool feeling came out from the bracelet.
Taking out the lighter, Zhang Tie unceremoniously placed the bracelet he was holding on to the flame of the lighter.
More than ten seconds passed. Zhang Tie removed the lighter and wiped the area where the bracelet had been exposed to the high temperature test with his sleeve. The bracelet was as good as before, with no discoloration at all, and its texture was as smooth as new.
As a pioneer, Gerry certainly knows the simplest way to roughly distinguish the authenticity of this precious gemstone. Not to mention the low-grade green glass used to deceive people in this era, even before the catastrophe, the same There are many fake jadeite.
When Zhang Tie was wiping the bracelet clean, Gerry also nervously moved his head over. Lest he could not look carefully enough, Gerry also lifted the fluorite lamp hanging on his waist and moved it closer. When he saw Zhang Tie After wiping the iron, the bracelet remained unchanged. Gerry took a breath of air-conditioning, and then looked at the circle of counters covered by dust on the first floor. Gerry suddenly felt that his brain was a little congested. He swayed a little and stood a little. Can't stand it.
The top priority is to get these things out of the way without alerting anyone. (… )
