We were all stunned by Professor Xu's actions.
This old man has always been very steady. Why are you so out of your mind today?
"Old Lan, look, is this the legendary gem?" Professor Xu grabbed a fist-sized stone and shouted at Lan Jianguo.
"The legendary stone?" Lan Jianguo was stunned for a while as if he remembered something.
He also became excited and ran to Professor Xu, holding the fluorescent stone and looking at it carefully.
"Yes, it's exactly the same as what's written in the book. It should be the one."
"Is there really such a thing? There are so many of them?"
The two old scholars stopped running back and didn't even have time to talk to us. They took out their engineering shovels from their bags and started pounding nearby.
"Xiao Dao, should we run away? Are the two old men crazy and holding stones as treasures?" We all stopped and Du Jun asked.
"This...?" I looked around, but there was no other movement.
Could it be that I'm too worried and there really isn't any mechanism?
"Now that Uncle Lan and the others have recognized the stone, what's going on? Let's wait a little longer." I saw that there was nothing unusual around me, so I replied.
At this time, Lan Jianguo and Professor Xu had already moved several rocks and took out their magnifying glasses to observe carefully.
We did not disturb them, knowing that they must have made a significant discovery.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, and after repeated confirmations, Lan Jianguo solemnly announced to us that these stones were not ordinary fluorescent stones, but a rare underground ore called jade luminous sand.
In addition to glowing, this stone also has a special feature: it changes its color as the humidity in the air changes.
There is constant water flowing through the cave, and the humidity in the air will never remain unchanged, so magical changes occur.
Professor Xu, an old geologist, was even more excited. He did not expect to see such a legendary gemstone.
The status of emerald luminous sand in the field of gemstones is equivalent to the ten thousand-year-old ginseng in our traditional Chinese medicine world, which only exists in legends.
If it hadn't been for the sudden change in color of the stone, which was getting brighter and brighter, and could shine for nearly a hundred meters, Lan Jianguo and Professor Xu would never have imagined that the radiant stone on the ground turned out to be emerald luminous sand.
Professor Xu held the fist-sized stone and said, "Xiao Dao, do you know how precious this stone is? Have you heard of the Night Pearl? Let me tell you, polished emerald Night Pearl is the best Night Pearl."
"What? Is this the Night Pearl?" We were all shocked.
I have only heard of this thing and have never seen it in real life.
"Of course, come on, let me tell you about it." Professor Xu was so excited that he also spread the knowledge about Night Pearl to us.
Many people think that luminous pearls are pearls produced from shellfish, but this is not the case at all.
The luminous pearl is a rare gemstone that can emit light. In ancient times, it was called Sui Pearl, Xuan Pearl, Moon Pearl, and also called the luminous pearl.
It is a kind of fluorescent stone. This stone is produced due to some luminous substances inside the earth, which were formed by the initial volcanic magma eruption and accumulated in the ore through geological movement.
After this kind of stone is processed, it becomes what everyone calls a luminous pearl.
Night pearls generally come in yellow, green, blue, orange-red...
Legend has it that there is a luminous pearl in the tomb of the Empress Dowager Cixi, which is divided into two halves and closed into a round ball.
This luminous pearl is very strange. It is transparent and dull when separated. When closed, it emits a cold light that can illuminate hair within a hundred meters at night.
Moreover, this luminous pearl can keep the body from decaying for hundreds of years.
Unfortunately, it was given to the then first lady Ms. Song by Sun Dianying, a thief of the Republic of China, and its whereabouts are unknown.
Professor Xu said excitedly: “Think about it, Empress Dowager Cixi’s luminous pearl has been hailed as the top treasure for thousands of years, and it is a legend all over the world.
“Her luminous pearl is polished with the finest jadeite luminous sand, but it’s a pity that only that piece has been found over the years.
"You said that there are so many emerald night pearls here, and if you only select one-tenth of the best quality, it can reach the quality of the night pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi, then this will be such a sensational fortune."
Lan Jianguo nodded, looked around and sighed: "Yes, the value is simply inestimable. I'm afraid even the real treasures of the Qing Dynasty may not be as valuable as these stones."
After discovering such a huge treasure, Professor Xu became a little conservative.
"In this case, I think we might as well change our plan. The Qing treasure is legendary after all, and it's not like this cave has an exit.
"If we keep going forward, will it be in vain?" Professor Xu adjusted the glasses on his nose.
"Otherwise, we can return now and report these things. I'm worried that there will be danger in the future!" Professor Xu solemnly made a suggestion.
Lan Jianguo frowned and said nothing.
Everyone else fell silent.
What Professor Xu said makes sense. So far we have discovered amazing wealth, and we have also discovered veins similar to gold on the road.
Bringing these two things back is already a great achievement, and the reward is probably not small, so going back is a very safe way.
What if we keep going forward?
Apart from facing danger, even if the formation here is really broken, what will the future be like? No one can guarantee it.
Might as well give it up when it's good.
I don't know what to do now? We can only wait for Lan Jianguo to make a decision.
"No, it's precisely because we have gained so much that we can't give up halfway." Lan Jianguo shook his head.
"Old Xu, I understand your concerns, but the task assigned by above is to move forward as much as possible.
"This cave hasn't reached its end yet. It's a pity for us to go back now. Otherwise, wouldn't it?" Lan Jianguo looked at me.
"Xiao Dao, let's keep going forward. If we find danger ahead or the cave entrance is still not opened in the end, we will go back by then. What do you think?" Lan Jianguo asked for our opinions.
"Okay, no problem. Let's adapt accordingly. If we foresee danger, we'll go back." I nodded.
Others found the advice to be very reasonable.
In fact, up to now, most people are not willing to stop there.
Especially Hong Gang and Du Jun. One of them wants to uncover the secret of the passage to heaven, and the other is bound to find the treasure of the Qing Dynasty.
The same destination makes both of them die-hard supporters of continuing on.
The facts are before our eyes, right?
The further you go, the more good things you get. If you still fight until you return home, isn’t that a sign of illness?
Du Jun is like a blind bear splitting corns, whichever one he chooses is good.
It turned out that there were several fine pieces of jewelry secretly packed in the bag, but now that he saw the legendary Night Pearl, Du Jun felt itchy again.
He picked up the engineering shovel and picked out a piece of emerald night sand with the brightest color and best shape and put it into his bag.
