Jin Muchen held his breath and slowly stretched out his hand to uncover the silk cloth on the largest package in front of him.

Because of the age, these silks have decayed, and although it can still be seen that it is only bright yellow, it has begun to turn black in some places, and even mold has begun in some places.

The state of this silk cloth that is broken when touched makes Jin Muchen even more have to carefully uncover the cloth, this package is very tight, not only there is a layer of cloth on the outside, but there are several layers inside.

When Jin Muchen carefully peeled off all the covers, the treasure inside also revealed his true face, and when he saw clearly what was inside through the dim light in the cave, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

Inside is an oval gem that is about six inches in the middle, and the gem is separated from the middle, although it has been hidden in this dark and damp corner for I don't know how many years, but I can still see the vague demeanor of this treasure.

The gem was supposed to be a whole oval-shaped rugby-like sphere, but now it had been split in two, and he saw only half of it.

The facet is smooth and flat, and from this flat facet, you can clearly see the inside of the gemstone.

The outer skin of this gem is a tender green skin, and the inside is bright red, and in the middle of this bright red color, there are many small white spots, and if you look closely, you can see that there are several black threads on the plane that lead from the side of the white seed.

By the time he saw the shape of this gem clearly, Jin Muchen's brain was already in a state of failure, could it be that this was the legendary 'that treasure'?

You must know that this treasure was called a peerless treasure back then!

It's a pity that later due to the war, it was lost overseas, and even half of it was lost. It's gone.

Could it be that the half I saw today is the half that was destroyed in the war and disappeared in the legend?

Where Jin Muchen sat upright, looking at this half of the gem and began to be in a daze, he would never have thought of this legendary Chinese national treasure anyway. Now it will fall into the hands of a group of Nanyang pirates.

What has this baby experienced over the years before it fell into the hands of these people, for a while his heart was inextricably linked, and he didn't know how to comment.

The pirate on the other side, looking at Jin Muchen looking at this gem in a daze, did not rush to interrupt her, but poured himself another glass of wine and looked at him with a smile.

He didn't know what this treasure was all about. But now seeing Jin Muchen's appearance, he knows that this must be a treasure with a lot of potential.

If he had discovered this treasure a few years earlier, he would not have needed Jin Muchen to help him identify it, he could have taken something to New York, or London, and found those professional appraisers to identify it.

But this gem is his last year. It was unexpectedly found on this small island, and in recent years. His identity has changed dramatically from before.

In the past, he also had the identity of a captain in the Indonesian Navy, and he also worked part-time as a pirate.

But a few years ago, when he was a pirate, something went wrong, and when he was kidnapping a ticket, he was a rough man. Accidentally killed the meat ticket.

This can provoke the anger of the meat ticket family, you must know that family, in Indonesia, is a family that can call the wind and rain.

Since then, his gang has been unlucky, and he simply does not dare to report back to the army. can only take a group of his own subordinates to hide in this sea area.

Thanks to his experience in serving in the Indonesian Navy and his familiarity with the operation mode of the Indonesian Navy, otherwise he would have been caught by those guys and eaten peanuts.

Because of this, he can no longer live a life where he can go abroad and enjoy himself as he used to, so he can only take his subordinates and continue to do a few business in this sea area, hiding in Tibet.

It was a really hard time, and the situation did not change until they accidentally discovered this small island, and they unexpectedly discovered that there was a transportation base that had been rebuilt by the Japanese during World War II.

When cleaning up this base, they also unexpectedly found a lot of treasures left by the Japanese back then, such as the box of gems in front of them, which should be the treasures that the Japanese hid here back then.

It's a pity that with his knowledge, although he knows that this thing is very precious, he doesn't know the origin of this thing, and his current identity makes it impossible for him to take this thing ashore and find a special appraiser to identify it.

Fortunately, this time he actually caught a young master who was in the antique business at home and came back, this guy seems to have a little bit of eyes, and now he can finally know what kind of treasure he found.

And looking at the young master's expression, this thing seems to be very special, if that's the case, then I should find an opportunity to take this thing away and fly away, and then quietly buy this thing and find a place to live the life of a rich man.

This kid has a very good brain, but Jin Muchen doesn't give an absolute judgment here, and he is not in a hurry to urge.

Jin Muchen looked at the gem in front of him blankly, and his mind was full of legends in the last years of the Qing Dynasty.

Such a large gem, coupled with the characteristics embodied in this gem, can remind him that there are treasures similar to this gem recorded in history, I am afraid that the only ones are the two jade watermelons of the Empress Dowager Cixi!

Cixi's jade watermelon is recorded in great detail in Qing history, and the two jade watermelons have always been the favorite of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

And after she died, she was buried in her grave with her, and the funeral goods of the Empress Dowager Cixi can definitely be said to be the greatest treasure in China in the 20th century, and the last precious royal mausoleum.

It was Li Liangying who was responsible for organizing Cixi's wedding, and his nephew Li Chengwu was always in front of his uncle to help organize the funeral of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

At that time, this Li Chengwu also wrote a "Aiyuexuan Notes" by hand, which specifically recorded in detail the funeral goods of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Among them, there is a very detailed description of this pair of jade watermelons: (Empress Dowager Cixi) has one jade watermelon on the left and right sides of her feet, green skin, red flesh, white seeds, and black @ silk, which is worth about 2.2 million taels (silver). Four jade melons, two white skins, yellow seeds, powder, two green skins, white seeds, yellow seeds, worth about 600,000 taels. These four melons are superb, and their value is more than hundreds of thousands of taels (silver).

This is only a description of the jade products that were buried with the Empress Dowager Cixi, and as for the descriptions of other treasures, there are countless of them.

And now Jin Muchen is not concerned about other funeral items, he only cares about the watermelon in front of him, whether it is the jade watermelon that was the favorite of the legendary Empress Dowager Cixi.

He cautiously stretched out his hand, picked up the watermelon, brought it to his eyes, and roughly estimated the diameter, about six inches, which should be consistent with the historical record.

Then looking at the red flesh inside the green-skinned watermelon, as well as the white melon seeds inside, and those black @ silk, they are all the same as in the record, just looking at these characteristics, basically to this, he already has a feeling of eight @ nine inseparable from ten in his heart.

After that, he quietly turned the melon over, and then looked at the bottom of the melon, where there was a connective place.

To tell whether this melon is the legendary jade watermelon of the year, there is actually a trick, that is, to look at the connectivity.

Sure enough, he saw a capital English letter T in this connective place, and there were two letters of C and O with slightly smaller fonts next to it, and when he saw these three letters, Jin Muchen let out a long breath, this should be right, it was the jade watermelon of the Empress Dowager Cixi back then.

But why is there an English letter on this jade watermelon?

This is not explicitly recorded in the number of treasures in the Qing court?

Why is this happening? That's because this jadeite watermelon is not jadeite at all, and his production is not from the hands of Chinese craftsmen at all, but commissioned by the most famous jewelry company in the United States, Tiffany & Co. to complete.

Therefore, in the connective place of this watermelon, there will be a Tiffany & Co. logo, which has not been clearly put forward by the two companies in history.

It wasn't until Tiffany & Co. was responsible for the production of this gem watermelon, after the death of gem expert J.L Tamlunbohm, and his descendants made his diary public, that people learned that this watermelon was not made by us Chinese, but by Americans.

And this has solved a problem that has puzzled Chinese archaeologists for many years.

Because in the history of ancient jade and jadeite in China, watermelon has never been used to describe a jadeite, even if it is the 'melon skin green' and 'melon skin green' on the edge, it is not enough to describe the color and shape of the jadeite watermelon.

After all, there were only a few people who personally came into contact with the Empress Dowager Cixi's jade watermelons, and later those two jade watermelons disappeared into history because of tomb robbery and war, so many archaeologists have not been able to figure out what the Empress Dowager's favorite jade watermelon is.

It wasn't until after the death of Tiffany's former gem expert and his descendants made his diary public that people learned that the original jadeite watermelon was not made of jadeite......

So jadeite watermelon is not made of jadeite, what is it made of?

The diary of that J.L. Tamlumbohm gives an answer, it is tourmaline! Tourmaline from the United States! (To be continued......)
