Chapter 108: The Temple of Gemstones Flying Warehouse Web

  After Shangguan Meixue put forward Zhang Jun's request, the villagers were stunned at first, and then turned around and ran towards the mountain. Zhang Jun knew that these people must be going to the mountain to fetch ice. In this ghost place, there was no electricity, let alone a refrigerator, and if you wanted to get ice, you had to go up the mountain.

  The remaining people then respectfully invited the two into a grass hut, served them a plate of fruit and some snacks. It has to be said that this tribe's food was also very rough, in big chunks, and the flavor was just average.

  After waiting for more than three hours, the crowd returned one after another. Each person carried a large piece of ice wrapped in water buffalo skin, with each piece being as big as a watermelon, and there were over a dozen pieces in total.

  Zhang Jun looked at it and nodded in satisfaction, ordering them to find a large container. Since the people of the tribe usually bathed in the river, there was no such thing as a bathtub, and finally only an oil barrel was found, which was also unknown where it came from.

  He had everyone put ice blocks into a bucket and then fill it with water. After a moment, the temperature of the water dropped to zero degrees, which is a characteristic of an ice-water mixture.

  At this time, he ordered someone to put the old woman into a gasoline barrel and let ice water slide over her neck. The old woman's body was originally weak, and this icy tonic made her whole body tremble, unable to speak.

  "What are you doing? This will get someone killed." Shangguan Meixue cautioned him carefully, afraid of causing loss of life. If that happened, they wouldn't be able to leave.

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

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

  The temperature of each part of the human body is slightly different, and even with such a small temperature difference, these parasites can feel it keenly. They will burrow into the internal organs and enter places with higher temperatures to reproduce.

  At the same time, the old woman had been suffering from a fever, which was also caused by the parasites. When she had a fever, her body temperature rose, which in turn accelerated the reproduction of the parasites, forming a vicious cycle.

  He wanted to use ice water to lower the old woman's body temperature and control the reproduction of parasites, driving them out completely.

  The effect of the ice water was very obvious, in less than ten minutes, the old woman's body temperature had dropped to a normal level. Through observation, it could be seen that the activity of the parasites inside her body had significantly decreased and they had stopped reproducing.

  Time passed minute by minute, and twenty minutes later, the old woman was frozen to the point where her lips turned purple. She looked around at people with pleading eyes, clearly not wanting to continue like this anymore.

  Zhang Jun reached out and pressed his hand on the old woman's forehead, injecting a strand of Buddha's eye golden light into her body. This strand of golden light protected her vitality, preventing her from dying from the cold.

  Then a scene that completely does not conform to biological characteristics occurred. The body temperature of the old woman continued to drop, from thirty-seven degrees all the way down to around ten degrees.

  Humans are homeothermic animals, with a precise body temperature control ability, so even in cold conditions, they can maintain a constant body temperature. For someone like the old woman, whose body temperature suddenly drops to 10 degrees, it's simply unthinkable, only corpses can do that.

  In the cold environment, the parasites in the old woman's body could not withstand the severe cold and died one after another. Those that were strong and did not die struggled to escape from this cold host body.

  Finally, a string of tiny parasites burst out of the old woman's foul mouth. However, as soon as they emerged, they fell into the icy water and froze to death.

  This situation lasted for more than an hour. Zhang didn't let people carry the old woman out until he was sure that all the parasites in her body were completely dead.

  The villagers did not understand Zhang Jun's methods, but they always obeyed and followed his orders because he was the "divine being" in their hearts. At this moment, the old woman's lips were purple, her breathing was weak, and her whole body was icy cold, as if she were dead.

  They began to suspect Zhang Jun, and the big guy asked: "Is she dead?"

  Zhang Jun waved his hand and said, "She's still alive, her illness has been cured, and she'll recover soon."

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, half an hour later, the old woman's body temperature slowly rose. When she opened her eyes, she could immediately stand up and felt refreshed all over, with the feeling of weakness completely gone.

  The old woman knelt down on the ground and worshipped Zhang Jun, muttering to herself. Immediately, all the people in the tribe came out and piously kowtowed to him.

  Zhang Jun winked at Shang Guan Mei Xue and said, "This place is not bad, why don't we just wait for them here." The so-called "them" naturally referred to Fang Ling Tian and the others.

  On that day, the two of them temporarily stayed in the tribe. The tribal chief was a black man in his 40s who offered his house to Zhang Jun and Shangguan Meixue, and provided them with sumptuous food.

  After staying overnight, Zhang Jun walked around the entire tribe the next day and found an ancient temple. The temple was not grand, but it was obviously very old. It was built on a cliff, and normally no one could reach here, Zhang Jun accidentally discovered its existence.

  As he entered the temple, he saw that it housed many idols. Each had a strange appearance, with some resembling animals. One of the idols caught his attention.

  This statue is three meters tall, with the head of a lion and the body of a human. What's different is that its belly is surprisingly large, and it's hollow inside, with an extremely spacious interior.

  Zhang Jun walked around the statue several times, his eyes shining. Because he found that in the empty belly of the statue, it was actually filled with all kinds of big and small gems! Blue sapphire, yellow sapphire, red sapphire, green sapphire, purple sapphire, all sorts of them, complete!

  He was shocked in his heart and secretly thought: "How can there be gems in the belly of a god statue? Is it that someone put them inside? If so, why did they do this?"

  Shangguan Meixue also followed in, she looked at the statue and said: "This is the tribe's worshiped deity, named Gemstone God. Legend has it that it feeds on gemstones and is the guardian of the tribe. Its construction history should be very long ago, at least 500 or 600 years."

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

  Shangguan Meixue nodded: "According to the investigation of a British African historian, hundreds of years ago, a unified dynasty called the Gemstone Dynasty was established here. At that time, it was indeed rich in gemstones and had excellent quality, which once triggered the envy of Western powers and the Qila country, wanting to send troops to attack."

  "Later, due to the disaster, the Jewel Dynasty also declined, and those jewels mysteriously disappeared." said Shangguan Meixue, "This temple should have been built in that era."

  Zhang Jun roughly understood the origin of these gems. The residents of the Gemstone Dynasty deliberately threw the gemstones into the mouth of the Gemstone God, begging for the blessing of the Gemstone God. Later, the Gemstone Dynasty perished, but this temple and the statue inside were preserved.

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