However, to open this mechanism, you still need to make some moves.

This mechanism is very exquisitely made. The control point of the mechanism is at the tip of the tail of the statue that looks like a monkey at the bottom of the totem pole. Judging from the ability of the sky eye to see through, the monkey's tail tip is movable. Just rotate the tail tip by 180 degrees in a clockwise direction, and then press it down to open the mechanism, so that the treasure hidden in the hollow space below the totem pole will be exposed from the bottom of the totem pole.

However, if you want to rotate the monkey's tail tip, you still need to pull out a wooden wedge that is not much thicker than the ballpoint refill core. Without pulling out the wooden wedge, the monkey's tail tip will not be able to rotate at all.

This wooden wedge is very thin and penetrated deeply into the totem pole. The exposed part outside has completely integrated with the carving marks of the monkey's tail. In addition, there is patina, which makes it difficult to see even if you observe carefully.

If it weren't for the ability to see through the sky eye, Yang Jing wouldn't have discovered this wooden wedge no matter what.

Seeing Yang Jing breathing a sigh of relief and standing straight, the fat man leaned over and asked, "Old Yang, how are you? Have you discovered anything?"

Yang Jing nodded and said, "This totem pole is indeed not simple. There is a mechanism with extremely exquisite production. I searched for a long time before I found the key to the control of this mechanism."

"Wow, was this totem pole transformed into a Faberge Easter egg by that Russian?" Lin Dan said excitedly.

Yang Jing smiled and shook his head and said, "This totem pole is definitely not comparable to the Faberge Easter egg, but in terms of the exquisiteness of this mechanism, I guess it is no worse than the Faberge Easter egg."

Faberge Easter eggs are a national treasure-level artwork in Russia and are also well-known all over the world. In addition to their exquisite craftsmanship, the most amazing thing about this easter egg is its exquisite mechanism.

Yang Jing said that the mechanism in this totem pole is no worse than that of the Faberge Easter egg, which is enough to show that this mechanism is so sophisticated.

"Fatty, find me some tools, awls, wallpaper knives, tweezers, it's better to find a magnifying glass..."

The fat man muttered and walked out, and in a short while he took a pack of tools and walked in.

Yang Jing thanked him, then took out a piece of fine sandpaper from his bag and began to gently rub it at the tip of the monkey's tail.

"I said Lao Yang, you just wiped here with sandpaper so directly. Isn't this destroying the patina?" The fat man started to shout when he saw Yang Jing's actions.

Yang Jing stopped the movement in his hand, looked up at the fat man and shook his head speechlessly, saying, "Oh, fat man, I don't want to do this either! But there is no way. According to my observation, the key control point of the mechanism is at this position, but if the patina is not wiped off, that key point will not be moved at all."

The fat man spread his hands and said, "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

Yang Jing lowered his head and worked hard. After a while, he picked up a sharp tweezer and, under the gaze of everyone, he pinched a round wooden wedge about two centimeters long and about the same thickness as the ballpoint refill core from the point of the monkey's tail.

Lin Dan asked curiously: "Brother Yang, what is this?"

Yang Jing smiled and said, "This should be a wooden wedge. With this little thing, this mechanism cannot rotate like this."

As he said that, Yang Jing exerted a little force on his hand, and everyone saw that the tip of the tail actually began to rotate.

Chris and the others were also surprised and said "Wow" and Lin Dan even wanted to get his head in, but Yang Jing pushed it away without hesitation.

"Why are you so close? Are you myopic?" Yang Jing slowly turned the monkey's tail while talking angrily on Lin Dan.

Lin Dan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Yang, am I excited!"

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "You're so excited now. Don't be so excited after a while!"

As he said that, Yang Jing exerted force again, pressing the monkey tail, which had rotated clockwise 180 degrees, suddenly pressed down. Then everyone heard a crisp "gamba" sound. The next moment, the bottom of the totem pole, which originally seemed to be flat, fell down...

Yang Jing put down the tool, picked up the fallen piece of wood and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a while, he put down the totem pole. He looked at the hole for a long time before he exclaimed: "It's indeed a masterpiece."

The fallen piece of wood is nearly ten centimeters long and about three centimeters in diameter, which is exactly at the center of this miniature totem pole.

This miniature totem pole is carved from Manzanita's log wood, without paint or any paint applied. The upper end of the totem pole is carved, so the annual rings cannot be seen. The bottom surface is exactly a cross-section, so all the annual rings of Manzanita's wood are exposed.

The fallen piece of wood is located at the center of the log and the most concentrated annual rings. The edge of this piece of wood happens to match one of the annual rings. If you don’t look closely with a magnifying glass, it is really hard to see that there is a piece of wood here that is separate.

I guess no one was idle and looked at the rings with a magnifying glass, so it was surprising that the exit of this agency was placed here.

If Yang Jing hadn't had the ability to see through the sky eye, he wouldn't have thought that the exit of the mechanism would be here.

The fat man poked Yang Jing excitedly, "Old Yang, look at what good things are inside! It's hidden so tightly, there must be good things!"

Lin Dan and Ricks also had the same expression.

Yang Jing nodded, took out a long small hook and a flashlight from the tool kit, and shone it with the flashlight and reached it in.

When the hook caught the thing inside and pulled it out, everyone found that there was a slender sheepskin bag hidden inside.

Yang Jing put down the tool, grabbed the rope at the mouth of the small sheepskin bag and pulled it slightly, and the hemp rope that had already decayed was broken. Yang Jing held the mouth of the bag with his hand and stood up. Suddenly, a few gems with dazzling light fell on Yang Jing's palm.

"Damn..."

“Shet…”

“Oh Maiga…”

A wave of ghosts and wolves suddenly sounded in the room, and all six people, including the fat man, couldn't help but spew out their most habitual oral words. Even Yang Jing was flashed by the light.

Even though he was prepared, when he saw these eight dazzling gems with his own eyes, he couldn't help but shout "Mama Mia!"

The smallest purple diamond of these eight gems is also the size of a larger quail egg, and the largest sapphire is a circle larger than a pigeon egg.

The most important thing is that although these eight gems are all raw stones, they are definitely the best ones in terms of color and clarity. Once cut, they are definitely the best gems.

The two cornflower sapphires, blue with purple, pure and flawless, really like velvet; the two rubies are bright and eye-catching, so red that they make people feel excited; the pink diamond also makes people unable to help but look away; as for the smallest purple diamond, the rich, mysterious and noble violet color, it can simply attract people's eyes...

In contrast, the two diamonds, which are not small in size, are colorless, are not so attractive.

These eight gems are all uncarved raw stones, but even the raw stones suddenly appeared eight such large gemstones, which was enough to make people unable to help but shout "Jesus Christ" and "Buddha Bodhisattva".

When the shock and panic passed, several people all came over, and even Chris and the others could not resist the charm of these eight gems.

The eyes of several people were all focused on the smallest purple diamond rough stone. Lin Dan asked in disbelief: "Brother Yang, is this smallest little guy the legendary purple diamond?"

Yang Jing picked up the purple diamond, pinched it steadily with his index finger and middle finger, and said with a smile: "That's right, this diamond should be the legendary purple diamond!"

Diamonds are recognized as the most valuable gem in the world. Among diamonds, colored diamonds have higher value. Among colored diamonds, the most rarer one is purple diamond.

Lin Dan said excitedly: "Brother Yang, this purple diamond rough stone is 20 carats, right? If it is cut, it can be at least ten carats, right?"

Yang Jing nodded and said, "Absolutely, if this purple diamond rough stone is cut out, it should be left with ten carats!"

The fat man ate and said, "Will not sell 100 million for ten carats of purple diamonds?"

Lin Dan looked at the fat man with contempt and said, "100 million? Brother Fat, are you talking about the national currency?"

The fat man blinked and asked, "One hundred million national currency is not enough? That's more than ten million US dollars!"

Lin Dan laughed twice, "Brother Fat, you're wrong to say that! Although there was a purple diamond of less than three carats in the past two years, and that purple diamond also sold for 4 million US dollars, but three carat purple diamonds are not even worthy of a purple diamond lifting shoe for 10 carats! Although the three carat purple diamond can be sold for 4 million US dollars, it does not mean that ten carat purple diamonds can sell for more than ten million US dollars. If I want to tell me, this purple diamond rough stone needs to be really cut, as long as it is sold, 50 million US dollars is just the starting price!"

The fat man was startled, "Fifty million US dollars? Wouldn't that be more than 300 million national currencies?"

Lin Dan nodded and said, "This is the lowest estimate. I remember seven or eight years ago, Sotheby's once auctioned a pink diamond called Graf pink diamond in Geneva, Switzerland. The pink diamond weighed nearly 25 carats, and finally sold it for more than 46 million US dollars. However, the price of the pink diamond is far from the price of the purple diamond, let alone the top-notch color and clarity of our purple diamond, so if this purple diamond is cut and taken for sale, its value will definitely not be lower than the 25 carat Graf pink diamond! It is even higher!"
