At the same time that 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 from a counter next to Zhang Tie, revealing the true face of the things under the counter.
Even after a thousand years, under the protection of the complete sealing of the counter, there is still not much dust in the counter, which makes the contents of the counter even more clear.
Under the green light of the fluorite lamps of the three people, the brilliance of those things in 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, Gerry and Sem were both a little uncertain, and there was an uncertain thought flashing in the heads of the two people, but this thought also became "terrifying" when facing the full things on the counter on the first floor, so that both of them couldn't believe that what the two people saw could be true.
Zhang Tie was also suppressed, his mood at the moment was similar to that of Sam and Gerry, and he couldn't believe that he would have such luck, because even in this era, near those flea markets near the train station in Black Rock City, there were often such scammers, using those green or dark glass products to pass off as this expensive special gem that only found in the East to lure some foolish hats who wanted to make money.
This precious gem, even before the cataclysm, was a symbol of the status and wealth of the Great 6 of the East, or more accurately a minority of the Chinese people, and in this era, with the advent of alchemists, this gemstone has been given another and more shocking meaning.
This precious gemstone is called jadeite!
One-of-a-kind jadeite.
In this era, this gemstone has another name in addition to the Oriental Big 6 - the Stone of Eternal Life.
Before the cataclysm, this gemstone was precious, but not to the point of being outrageous, and there was a huge disparity in price compared to the diamond that was admired at that time. But in this day and age, the values of the two have been reversed.
No one should be so bored as to sell fakes here 9oo years ago - Zhang Tie looked at the dark green ornaments and pendants on the counter, and a strange thought popped up in his head.
"Peter......
Hearing Gerry shouting about his life, Zhang Tie turned his head and glanced at Gerry and Seim, who were looking nervous, and it was obvious that the two of them had guessed something. But it's a bit scary, and they can't help but feel nervous.
"Just look at it......" Zhang Tie smiled, even if he was not short of money now, he felt that his throat was still a little dry when he said this.
Zhang Tie was about to make a move, but Sam suddenly rushed up the stairs, "You guys...... below. I'm watching from above! ”
Zhang Tie knew that Semu was guarding the two upstairs, although Zhang Tie didn't believe that anyone else dared to rush in and disturb him, but at this time, it was always right to be careful.
After Semu went up, Gerry didn't dare to move lightly, but looked at Zhang Tie.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Tie punched a counter in front of him.
There was a bang at the counter. A layer of dust fell off it, but the whole thing was intact, Zhang Tie was a little stunned, he just punched, although he only used three points of strength, but it was also very amazing, even if it was an iron plate in front of him. It is estimated that it can also leave a fist mark, but it is smashed on the counter that seems to be made of glass, but there is no movement.
"Before the cataclysm, the counters of such shops selling precious stones and valuables were not made of ordinary glass, but special synthetic materials like glass made by humans at that time, which were used to ensure the safety of these things inside the counters in the event of robbers and various accidents. This material looks similar to glass, but its hardness is better than steel! Gerry explained.
Zhang Tie smiled slightly embarrassedly, and no longer tried to smash the counter open with violence. Instead, he turned to the back of the counter and groped, there was a movable sliding door behind the counter, Zhang Tie just fumbled it, and used the brute force of his hand to tear off the rusted lock on the sliding door, and took out the things in the counter lightly.
It was a bracelet, a dark green bracelet, and with the eyes that Zhang Tie had exercised in the grocery store, he could tell at the first time that this bracelet was definitely not glass, and it was completely different from any gemstone or stone he had ever seen.
There is not much dust on the bracelet, it looks very beautiful, when I chatted with Tang De's guy before, Tang De's guy once told Zhang Tie some superficial ways to identify real and fake jadeite, but at that time, Tang De smiled and said, I'm afraid Zhang Tie will have a chance to see what the real immortal stone is in his life. The Immortal Stone from the Oriental Big 6, in this era, was basically collected by the powerful forces in the Chinese clan, and became the forbidden body of the Oriental Big 6 alchemists, even if there was a small amount of outflow, the person who could get the Immortal Stone would definitely not be an ordinary person, Zhang Tie at that time, the daily pocket money was only a few copper plates, and even a few copper plates and a bowl of rice brew at home did not dare to let go of his belly and eat it, how could he make Tang De believe that he had the opportunity to contact this precious gem in his life.
Zhang Tie gently put the bracelet he was holding on his face.
Suddenly, a cool feeling came through the bracelet.
took out the lighter, Zhang Tie unceremoniously put the bracelet he was holding in his hand to the flame of the lighter.
After more than ten seconds, Zhang Tie removed the lighter and wiped the place where the bracelet had been tested by the high temperature with his sleeve - the bracelet was as old as before, not discolored at all, and the texture was as smooth as new.
As a pioneer, Gerry certainly knew that the easiest way to roughly distinguish the authenticity of this precious gem was not only the low-grade green glass used to deceive people in this era, but also before the cataclysm, there were many similar counterfeit jadeite.
When Zhang Tie wiped the bracelet clean, Gerry also nervously leaned his head over, lest he not look carefully enough, Gerry also put the fluorite lamp hanging on his waist to his hand, and saw that the bracelet that still did not change in the slightest after Zhang Tie wiped it, Gerry took a breath of cold air, and then looked at the circle of counters on the first floor that were covered by dust, Gerry suddenly felt that his brain was a little congested, and his feet shook for a while, and he looked a little unable to stand.
It is imperative to get rid of these things in front of you, without alarming anyone.
