Chapter 108 Gem Temple

After Shangguan Meixue put forward Zhang Jun's request, everyone in the tribe froze for a moment, then turned around and ran up the mountain. Zhang Jun knew that these people must have gone to the mountain to fetch ice. This kind of ghost place doesn't even have electricity, let alone a refrigerator. If you want to get ice, you have to go up the mountain.

The rest of the people respectfully invited the two of them to the thatched house, and presented a plate of fruit, as well as some snacks and pastries. It has to be said that this tribe even eats very extensively, a large piece of food, and the flavor is only average.

After waiting for more than three hours, all the people returned one after another. Each of them wrapped a large piece of ice in buffalo leather. Each piece was the size of a watermelon, and there were more than a dozen pieces.

Zhang Jun took a look, nodded in satisfaction, and ordered them to find a huge container. Since the people of the tribe usually take a bath in the river, there is no such thing as a bath tub. In the end, only a gasoline barrel was found, and I don't know where I got it.

He asked the crowd to put ice cubes in buckets and fill them with water. After a while, the temperature of the water drops to zero degrees, which is characteristic of the ice-water mixture.

At this time, he ordered the old woman to be put into the gasoline tank and let the ice water slide over her neck. The old woman's body was already weak, and suddenly she trembled all over, unable to speak.

"What are you doing, people will die like this." Shangguan Meixue reminded him carefully, for fear of killing people, otherwise they would not be able to leave.

Zhang Jun's expression was calm, and he said, "Look down and you'll know."

In fact, he wanted to use ice water to force the parasites out of the old woman's body. Because he found that these parasites are hermaphroditic, and prefer to choose areas with higher temperatures when laying eggs.

The temperature of each part of the human body is slightly different, but even such a small temperature difference, the parasite can feel it keenly. They will viscera outside and enter places with higher temperatures to reproduce.

At the same time, the old woman has been running a fever, which is also caused by parasites. When the body temperature rises during fever, it can actually promote the reproduction of parasites, thus forming a vicious circle.

He just wanted to use ice water to lower the old woman's body temperature, thereby controlling the reproduction of the parasites and forcing them out completely.

The effect of the ice water was very obvious. In less than ten minutes, the old woman's body temperature dropped to a normal level. Through X-ray, it can be found that the activity of parasites in her body has decreased significantly, and the reproduction behavior has stopped.

In this way, the time passed by every minute and every second. Twenty minutes later, the old woman's lips were already purple with cold, and she looked at the people around her with pleading eyes. She obviously didn't want to suffer like this anymore.

At this moment, Zhang Jun stretched out his hand to press the old woman's forehead, and injected a ray of golden light from the Buddha's eye into her body. This ray of golden light protected her vitality so that she would not die from the cold.

So a scene that didn't conform to biological characteristics happened. The old woman's body temperature kept dropping, from thirty-seven degrees to about ten degrees.

Humans are warm-blooded animals with precise body temperature regulation ability, so even in a cold state, they can maintain a constant body temperature. Like the old woman, it is inconceivable that the body temperature dropped to ten degrees all of a sudden, and only a corpse can do this.

In the cold environment, the parasites in the old woman's body couldn't bear the severe cold environment and died one after another. Those who are strong but not dead are also desperately trying to escape from this cold host body.

Eventually, strips of tiny parasites rushed out of the old woman's bad breath. But as soon as they came out, they fell into the ice water and froze to death.

This situation lasted for more than an hour, and Zhang Jun asked someone to lift her out after confirming that the parasites in the old woman's body were completely dead.

The people in the tribe didn't understand what Zhang Jun did, but they always followed orders obediently, because Zhang Jun was the "god" in their hearts. At this moment, the old woman's lips were purple, her breathing was weak, and her whole body was cold, as if she were dead.

They became a little suspicious of Zhang Jun, and the big man asked, "Is she dead?"

Zhang Jun waved his hand and said: "She is still alive, her illness has recovered, and she will recover soon."

Sure enough, half an hour later, the old woman's body temperature slowly rose. When she opened her eyes, she was able to stand up immediately, feeling relaxed, and the feeling of weakness disappeared completely.

The old woman knelt on the ground gratefully, worshiped Zhang Jun, and muttered something. Immediately, the whole tribe came out and worshiped him devoutly.

Zhang Jun blinked at Shangguan Meixue, and said, "This place is nice, why not just wait here."

On that day, the two of them temporarily stayed in the tribe. The tribal chief was a black man in his forties. He gave up his house to Zhang Jun and Shangguan Meixue, and provided them with sumptuous food.

After staying for one night, Zhang Jun walked around the whole tribe the next day, and he found an ancient temple. The temple is not tall, but it has a long history. It was built on a cliff, and no one could reach it in normal times. Zhang Jun only discovered its existence by accident.

Entering the temple, he saw many statues of gods enshrined in the temple. All of them have strange appearances, and many of them resemble the images of animals. One of the idols caught his attention.

The statue is three meters high, with the head of a lion and the body of a human. The difference is that the grandfather's stomach is surprisingly large, and it is hollow inside, and the internal space is very large.

Zhang Jun walked around the statue a few times, his eyes flickering. Because he discovered that the hollow belly of the idol was actually full of all kinds of gems! Sapphire, topaz, ruby, emerald, amethyst, you name it!

Surprised, he thought to himself, "How could there be gemstones in the belly of the idol? Could it be put in by people? If so, why did they do it?"

Shangguan Meixue also followed in. She looked at the image and said, "This is a god enshrined by the tribe. It is called the God of Gems. According to legend, it eats gems and is the guardian of the tribe. It should have a long history of construction. , at least five or six hundred years old."

Zhang Jun suddenly asked: "Is this place rich in gemstones?"

Shangguan Meixue nodded: "According to the investigation of a British African historian, a unified dynasty was established here hundreds of years ago, called the gem dynasty. It was indeed rich in gemstones at that time, and the quality was excellent. The Western powers and the Arab country are coveting and want to send troops to attack."

"Later, due to natural disasters, the gem dynasty also fell, and those gems disappeared mysteriously." Shangguan Meixue said, "This temple should have been built in that era."

Zhang Jun probably understood the origin of these gems. At the beginning, the residents of the Gem Dynasty deliberately threw the gems into the mouth of the Gem God to beg for the blessing of the Gem God. Later, the jewel dynasty died, but the temple survived.

"I want to send this statue away, is there any way?" Zhang Jun asked suddenly.
