Tang Yin was already planning to leave, because this time Zhang Qingman didn't need too much money, so there weren't many antiques out of him, and more than a dozen people picked and chosen, and in less than half an hour, the cost-effective antiques were all picked up by everyone.

"Mr. Tang, hello, can I delay you for a while?" When Tang Yin was about to leave, Zhang Qingman walked over.

"No problem, is there anything wrong with the old man?" Tang Yin nodded, under the condition that the other party does not mess around, it is still necessary to respect the old and love the young.

"I'll just rely on the old man to call you Xiao Tang, you can call me Lao Zhang, I have a question I want to ask you, do you think the ivory is real, is there any basis? Do you see something?" At the instigation of Lao Lei, Zhang Qingpeng finally couldn't help but come over and ask.

In fact, this question has been bothering him for more than a decade.

When he bought it, he thought it was a real ivory product, but he showed it to others, and everyone else said it was a fake, but he always had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so the ivory flakes were kept in the collection and not disposed of as fakes.

If Lao Lei didn't mention it just now, Tang Yin would have taken it away.

But when Lao Lei said it, he was like a hundred claws scratching his heart, trying to figure out the truth and falsehood, which can be regarded as a matter of more than ten years.

"Don't you think it's fake?" Tang Yin smiled and didn't answer.

Picking up leaks is not just a matter of eyesight.

There are many times, even if you succeed in picking up the leak, you can't take it away, because people's hearts are greedy.

When the owner of the antique knows that it has been picked up, if the character is passable, at most it is a little unhappy, but if the character is not passable, it will be sprinkled with all kinds of tricks, and in the end, even if it is successfully picked up, it often has to compensate the owner of the antique.

So even if he misses it, Tang Yin will not say it on the spot if it is not necessary, especially in front of the owner of the antique.

"Xiao Tang, don't scruple too much, I have no intention of remorseling, it's just that this piece of ivory, I bought it more than ten years ago, and I thought it was genuine at the time, but the color is wrong, I've been entangled for more than ten years, if you really know, please help solve your doubts!" Zhang Qingman said very sincerely.

"Xiao Tang, you don't have to worry about anything else, Lao Zhang and I just have to have a long experience, and we don't mean anything else. Lao Lei also said.

He was at the scene when Tang Yin picked up the missing night pearl that day, so Tang Yin's purchase of fake ivory today would arouse his suspicions.

"Okay, Elder Zhang, what kind of product should this be in your opinion?" Seeing that the two of them didn't look like you regretting making trouble, Tang Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think even if it's not ivory, it should be the teeth of other animals, but after some treatment, but the technical means of the person who processed it are obviously not up to par, so I made a four-like one. Zhang Qingman said.

Because it is cut into slices, you can directly see some of the internal structures, and if you have a little experience, you can see that it is the bones of animals.

The so-called artificial ivory, in many cases, is the use of bones or teeth of other animals, processed and passed off as elephant teeth.

Because the same teeth, elephant teeth are the most valuable, the most precious, and the most rare.

Because the teeth of the same creatures have a similar bone structure, even experienced people are easily deceived.

"The old man Gao saw that this was indeed processed, but the method of processing was not counterfeiting in the general sense, it was a kind of treatment that had been lost in the West, and the purpose was not to counterfeit, but to enhance the strength of the ivory. Tang Yin smiled and told part of the secret.

In fact, this is a kind of supernatural powerhouse's processing method, the purpose is to change the physical properties of ivory, and use it to make some items suitable for supernatural powerhouses, but there is only one ivory part left, and there is too little information, and more information cannot be deduced for the time being.

"Is there such a way to deal with it?" Hearing Tang Yin's explanation, the two old men, you look at me and I look at you, they have never heard of it before.

Because ordinary ivory, even if it has to be processed, it is only for the purpose of better preservation.

Now Tang Yan said that increasing the strength of ivory is not much meaningful in terms of making ivory handicrafts.

After all, handicrafts are not weapons, not used to fight and kill, not to mention that the strength of the ivory itself is very high, what is the point of strengthening it?

"Don't you believe the two old men?"

"No, it's just ......" was asked by Tang Yin, the two old men were a little embarrassed, they were indeed a little hard to believe Tang Yin's explanation.

"Tang Yin, what use do you say it can be used to increase the strength of ivory?"

"Maybe it's not necessarily used as a weapon!" Tang Yin explained with a smile.

"Ivory items are certainly very hard, but when used as weapons, they are not as good as steel, right?"

The strength of the ivory is only relative, and if it really encounters steel, the ivory will be smashed no matter how strong it is.

"I don't dare to say anything else, but this piece of ivory must be far harder than steel!" Tang Yin disagreed with Lei Lao's opinion.

"Did the ancients really have this kind of treatment?"

"Yes, but unfortunately it's lost, and as far as I guess, the cost of dealing with it must be too high, and there is no way to promote it on a large scale. ”

"Tang Yin, you actually say that this thing is harder than steel?" Sun Monkey, who was listening to the whole process, looked at Tang Yin in disbelief.

The ivory piece that Tang Yin bought, he also took it in his hand and saw it, it was light and fluttering, it was clearly a piece of bone, how could it be harder than steel?

"You are rare and strange, the ancients had many magical skills, but unfortunately for various reasons, many magical skills have been lost. ”

"Xiao Tang, can you verify it?" In the end, Zhang Qingman still couldn't hold back.

If the results of the verification show that this piece of suspected ivory is really harder than steel, although it is not enough to prove that it is real ivory, it can at least improve the credibility of Tang Yin's words a lot, unlike the current empty white teeth, there is no evidence at all, it sounds like nonsense.

"I don't care, ordinary weapons can't be damaged at all. ”

"How about this axe?" As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, Sun Monkey, who was not afraid of big things, picked up a battle axe that no one had bought.

Unlike ordinary wood-chopping axes, the axe shape of the battle axe is a bit peculiar, with an axe blade on one side and a pointed awl on the other.

"No, this ivory is too hard to damage the axe. Tang Yin directly shook his head and refused.

"Xiao Tang, it's okay, this axe is not a precious antique, if you can really verify the strength of the ivory, it is worth it even if it is broken!" As soon as Tang Yin's words fell, the old man Zhang Qingman took over, indeed as he said, this axe is not precious.

In fact, this axe was his early collection, and its commemorative significance was greater than its actual value, so it has been kept in the collection and has not been lost.

"Old man, you have to think about it carefully, I'm not joking with you!" Tang Yin reminded.

"I'm not joking, Xiao Tang, even if you let it go, even if the axe is destroyed, I will never blame you, on the contrary, I can verify what you say, let it

I have gained the knowledge that even if the axe is broken or destroyed, it is still its value. Zhang Qingman said indifferently.

Good!

Now that Zhang Qingman has already talked about this, Tang Yin has nothing more to say.

Brought a solid wooden stool, and placed the ivory sheet in the middle of the stool, while also holding the axe high.

At the beginning, the conversation between the four people did not attract the attention of a few people, and after everyone chose the antiques of the center, they exchanged in twos and threes.

However, when Tang Yin picked up the axe and aimed it at the ivory flakes, the situation was very different.

Not even fools can see that Tang Yin is going to use an axe to chop ivory flakes, is this a fake to be destroyed on the spot?

Everyone gathered around them as soon as they cheered, and everyone in the living room was now gathered around Tang Yin.

"What's the situation, even if it's a fake, there's no need to destroy it, right?"

"Young people are too impulsive, dissipate their anger, it is really not possible to let Lao Zhang return the goods, there is no need to make too much trouble. ”

"Yes, lad, don't be angry. ”

Everyone who didn't know the inside story, when they saw Tang Yin's tall physique, he was still holding a bright axe in his hand, and hurriedly comforted and dissuaded him.

"Colleagues, you misunderstood...... Tang Yin put down the axe with a little crying and laughing.

"Everyone, don't get me wrong, that's the case......" Zhang Qingman also couldn't cry and laughed, and had to explain it to everyone.

So there is such a thing?

After the explanation was clear, everyone looked at the axe in Tang Yin's hand, and then looked at the ivory piece on the chair, they were the same as Zhang Qingman, they didn't believe that a small piece of ivory could be stronger than an axe, after all, this piece of ivory was very thin, about three millimeters thick.

Tang Yin held an axe in his hand, which was not a handicraft, but a combat weapon, which was for the purpose of killing the enemy, strong and sharp.

Not to mention a thin piece of ivory, on the battlefield, even an enemy's head can be cut in half with an axe.

"Xiao Tang, you continue!" After explaining clearly, Zhang Qingman motioned for Tang Yin to continue.

"Everyone, it's eye-catching!" Tang Yin slashed down with an axe.

Boom!

There was a heavy thud, and the axe landed on the surface of the chair, not splitting the chair in half, but sinking deep into the solid wood.

"How is this possible?"

"It's completely unreasonable, is there something wrong with the chair?"

"There was no problem with the chair and nothing with the axe. ”

When Tang Yin lifted the axe, everyone saw that the blade of the axe had collapsed, and a big gap appeared, which was very clear and clear.

And the place where the ivory flakes were placed also sank deeply, and the ivory flakes were deeply inlaid into them.

Tang Yin pried out the ivory flakes with an axe, handed them to Zhang Qingman, and asked him to check them, and there were no scars on the ivory flakes.

"Is it true, after a piece of ivory has been specially treated, it is really harder than steel?" Zhang Qingman's three views were subverted.

"I'm not sure if it's ivory, but it's a bone, how can it be harder than steel?"

It doesn't make sense, it shouldn't exist, but now it's real in front of their eyes, and they can even touch it in their hands.

"A bone harder than steel?" Some people who are more active-minded have their eyes lit up immediately, which is a good thing!
