Carl Morris walked into the main hall of the north room, and placed the alloy code box in his hand on the old Haihuang Eight Immortals table worth millions. Thor Smith and Sean Hannington took out the keys hanging around their necks and placed them on the table. Yang Jing also took out a key hanging around his neck, and used the key to open the handcuffs on Carl Morris's wrists.
"Karl, the rest of you should leave first. Pay attention to the safety of your surroundings. No one can enter this room without my permission."
"Don't worry, boss. I guarantee that not even a fly can fly in here!" Morris rubbed his wrist with a smile and said as he walked out with the other two bodyguards. After going out, he closed the door.
"Xiao Jing, open the box quickly." Master Liu Lao rubbed his hands and said, and the other three masters were also a little impatient. At this time, they didn't understand that the apprentice brought them here today to see this house and those treasures, but they were actually secondary. Yang Jing had already prepared to let the four of them see the imperial seal, but the four of them spent too much time in the collections in the basement.
But at this time, the four of them had no time to blame their apprentice. All their thoughts were focused on this small alloy password box.
This is the legendary imperial seal!
Yang Jing nodded, picked up the two keys on the table, inserted them into the two keyholes of the alloy password box, and then turned them three times. An inaudible "click" sound came from inside the box.
Yang Jing released the key and began to enter the password on the combination lock of the password box. He first entered a series of eleven electronic passwords on a small LCD screen, and then turned six mechanical password numbers on another rotary password, and then this seemingly small alloy password box was completely opened.
Although this small alloy password box does not look big, it weighs more than 20 kilograms. The outer layer is made of extremely hard high-temperature resistant special high-strength alloy mixed with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. It can withstand a high temperature of 3500 degrees. Even if the tracks of a main battle tank press on it, the box will not be deformed.
Then the box has four sets of locks. Only by opening these four sets of locks in sequence can the box be opened!
This alloy password box alone cost Yang Jing $160,000!
Under the gaze of seven pairs of eyes, the box was opened, and a large seal with a white and green dragon button immediately appeared in front of everyone.
The room fell into silence again. The only sound was the heavy breathing of the other seven people except Yang Jing.
After a long while, Guo Xiaoxiang whispered, "Old Yang, is this the legendary imperial seal? It doesn't look that great."
Although Guo Xiaoxiang's voice was low, it was like thunder in the silent room. Master Liu glared at Guo Xiaoxiang fiercely, and then said dissatisfiedly: "What do you know, kid? Don't talk nonsense!"
Guo Xiaoxiang shrank his head and stuck out his tongue, not daring to say another word.
The four masters almost simultaneously took out white gloves, reading glasses and magnifying glasses from their pockets. The second master, Xiao Lao, said, "Xiao Jing, find a soft cushion. If you don't have a cushion, you can just bring a quilt. Put it underneath and we'll get started!"
Before Yang Jing could move, Pete Wu beside him quickly opened the door and ran out. He didn't look like a man in his seventies at all.
After a while, Pete Wu came in with a quilt and spread it on the eight-immortals table.
At this moment, the Ming Dynasty old Haihuang Eight Immortals Table, which was worth millions, was nothing in the eyes of everyone. If this jade seal was really the imperial seal, then what was the table worth? Forget about anything else. The fact that the imperial seal could be placed on this table was probably a blessing that the table had to work for hundreds of years.
Master Liu was already dressed. He looked at the other three masters and said solemnly, "How about I start first?"
The second master, Mr. Xiao, said, "Old Liu, you are proficient in bronze and jade, so you go first and we will watch from the side."
Old Liu nodded, then carefully held up the imperial seal with both hands.
He first stretched out his arms and held the Heirloom Seal in both hands and looked at it carefully from a distance for a while. Then he held the Heirloom Seal in front of his eyes and began to study it closely.
"Well, good, good! This jade seal is consistent with the records in history books. The history books say that this imperial seal is made of 'the finest and most exquisite Lantian jade, white with a slight green tint, four inches in diameter, about 11.2 centimeters today, with a dragon knob, and the seal is written by Li Si in fish and bird seal script, "Received the Mandate from Heaven, Long Lived and Prospered", and was carefully polished and carved by Xianyang jade craftsman Sun Shou'. Now it seems that this jade seal is consistent with the records in history books."
Elder Liu turned the jade seal slightly, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on the corner that was repaired with gold. Elder Guo on the side also said: "The historical records say, 'After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the imperial seal was returned to Liu Han. In the late Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a foreign relative, usurped power. At that time, Ru Ziying was young, and the seal was hidden in the Queen Mother's Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his brother Wang Shun to ask for it, but the Queen Mother angrily rebuked him and threw the seal to the ground, breaking one corner. Later, Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to repair it with gold.' This is the origin of the famous 'gold-inlaid jade seal.' Now it seems that this corner that has been repaired with gold is also very consistent with the records in the history books."
Cai Yi came up to the seal and pointed at its shoulder and said, "Old Liu, use a magnifying glass to look at this line of official script."
Of course Old Liu understood what Cai Yi meant, but he did not take any action. Both of his hands were holding the jade seal, and he did not dare to let go and hold the seal with one hand.
