Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 860 - 834 Ancient Temple

Mayor Wu also looked desperately helpless. If he couldn’t do the grassroots work well, he might as well stop being the mayor. This issue had already put him in a difficult position; if he could negotiate it, he would have significant benefits. But the villagers of Late Mountain Village just wouldn’t agree no matter what benefits were offered.

And now, Tangyu appeared, naturally making him feel like he wanted to die.

Mayor Wu clutched the village chief and pleaded, "Old Deng, I’m begging you, seriously consider it. The conditions we’ve offered are so abundant, do you even see any land requisition like this anywhere else? This compensation is already the highest in the country. Development is a major plan, why are you being so stubborn? I assure you, as long as you agree, a year from now, everyone in Late Mountain Village will have new houses and cars. Imagine that well-off life, wouldn’t it be much better than the current situation?"

"Calculating it, each family could receive at least a million, which should be enough for you to farm and grow tea for a lifetime."

The village chief still shook his head resolutely, "The villagers don’t agree, I have no way to force them. Everyone just wants to live a peaceful and simple life. We can’t only think about ourselves, we have to consider our descendants. Once this land is developed, it might be unfit for living, our future generations might not even have a single acre of farmland. No matter how much money, we will not agree to this. Mayor Wu, please don’t persuade us anymore, it’s not that we don’t support national plans, we can’t trade our homeland."

Mayor Wu sighed and shook his head helplessly, then turned and left.

The villagers of Late Mountain Village are too simple; they have no ambition and don’t want to strive for more.

The village chief shook his head, "To be honest, their conditions are generous enough. If we only consider the current situation, we indeed should agree. However, this is our ancestral land where generations have lived. Late Mountain Village has a history of five hundred years, if we sell it, we would be historical sinners, and our descendants would disdain us. No matter how much money, we can’t sell it."

"They want to develop it for tourism, which will inevitably disrupt the peace of Late Mountain Village. If large crowds of people come and go every day, our village won’t resemble Late Mountain Village anymore."

Tangyu smiled and nodded, "This quiet Late Mountain Village feels more homely. Worry not, Village Chief, I will handle this matter."

The village chief looked at Tangyu gratefully and solemnly said, "I’ll leave everything to you. Deng Li, please host Divine Doctor Tang and his team. I’ll ask my aunt to prepare lunch."

Tangyu pulled out his phone, dialed Xiao Yu’s number, briefly told him the situation, and asked him to smooth things out with higher officials. If the government didn’t intervene, this matter would be much easier to handle.

Liang Youshan said, "Boss, this Late Mountain Village indeed feels like a place rich with talented individuals and beautiful scenery, even the air is much fresher. I think practicing cultivation here would be quite effective."

Tangyu nodded and stood up, "Deng Li, take us to visit the Ancient Temple."

"Alright." Deng Li immediately stood up. freewebnøvel_com

Tangyu had already delegated the local matter to Xiao Yu, so he didn’t need to worry too much.

Outside Late Mountain Village, a convoy of vehicles left the village.

Inside one of the cars, Manager Fu of Director You’s department looked extremely grim, even feeling murderous.

Director You was equally furious, "That Tangyu really thinks he is above the law, that his connections make him invincible? Does he think his reputation means he can ignore everyone?"

Manager Fu smirked coldly, "Director You, do you have a way to deal with him?"

This question left Director You momentarily stunned. After thinking, he said, "It’s hard to say, it depends on the higher-ups’ stance. Tangyu’s influence is very strong; he solved the mass poisoning incident here last time, so the County Magistrate is particularly friendly to him. Additionally, Tangyu has solid connections in Donglin City. If he can get support from above, he might indeed crush this matter. If Tangyu is determined to stop us, it will be challenging."

"Had we known earlier, we would have used tougher measures to make Late Mountain Village sign the contract."

Manager Fu’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, "If none of you can solve this, I’ll use my own methods. We put in so much effort, we can’t just easily give up. No matter the cost, we must fight to the end."

Director You glanced at Manager Fu but said nothing more.

Manager Fu picked up his phone, made a call, speaking with utmost respect.

In the rear mountain, the original stone steps to the trail had almost completely vanished under cover of yellow dirt with moss and grass creeping up, if it weren’t for villagers occasionally coming to worship, there would likely be no trail left.

The lush green trees, natural environment, fresh air make people feel relaxed. Walking through it, one feels refreshed and invigorated. Regular walks here could significantly reduce illnesses.

Walking through, Tangyu felt some surprise, "Do you feel it?"

Liang Youshan immediately grinned and nodded, "I feel it, the atmosphere here is no worse than in Holy Sun Town, the Immortal Spirit Qi is dense, lingering in the mountains, practicing cultivation here would indeed be excellent."

Deng Li suddenly realized, "No wonder I feel very comfortable practicing here, it’s incredibly smooth, and my cultivation speed is fast, I even unknowingly improve. So that’s the reason."

Liang Youshan shook his head again, with a puzzled expression, and said, "That’s really strange, there’s nothing special about this place, and it’s been abandoned for so many years. By rights, it should just be an ordinary mountain peak, so why is there such a dense concentration of Immortal Spirit Qi here? I haven’t felt this in any other place, only here at this mountain peak do I get this feeling. Could it be that this place is some kind of blessed land?"

Tangyu said, "It probably doesn’t exist as a natural blessed land anymore. I think this mountain peak is a bit peculiar. Perhaps it contains a Spirit Gathering Array, otherwise, it couldn’t possibly gather the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and not leak a bit, only existing between this mountain peak. This situation probably only has this explanation."

"Spirit Gathering Array?" Liang Youshan was also slightly surprised: "No way, would this place have a Spirit Gathering Array? Could it be that a Great Power is cultivating in seclusion here in this mountain?"

"We can’t rule out that possibility. Let’s go to that ancient temple and take a look," Tangyu said.

Soon, the group arrived at the ancient temple, dilapidated and on the verge of collapse, without a trace of spiritual energy or vitality. Judging by the history of this temple, it must be very old.

Moss and plants seemed to want to completely overrun and devour this ancient temple. Ancient trees towered, completely enveloping the temple. The temple gate had long ceased to exist.

Inside the temple hall, there was only a stone statue of Buddha, covered in dust and cobwebs. One could not tell how long it had been since anyone cleaned it. The temple hall was not large, about twenty or thirty square meters.

Tangyu carefully examined it but found nothing. It appeared to be just a dilapidated ancient temple. But vaguely, Tangyu felt it wasn’t that simple, always feeling that something seemed to be hidden inside.

This made Tangyu frown, and he carefully examined it again, still finding nothing.

Tangyu glanced backward and walked towards a courtyard and a kitchen at the back, thinking it might be where the temple attendants used to live.

The courtyard was very simple, and at this moment, it was completely overtaken by plants; a glance revealed nothing but an old well standing there.

Liang Youshan pouted and shook his head, "Looking around, there doesn’t seem to be anything noteworthy. How strange, it doesn’t seem like a Great Power was cultivating here in seclusion. How could this place gather Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi? What is the reason?"

This question puzzled everyone.

Tangyu was equally perplexed, finding nothing, but Tangyu was faintly certain in his heart that it wouldn’t be that simple; he just hadn’t discovered it yet.

There must be some mystery hidden here, and the answer was most likely in this ancient temple.

Knowing some things from the Ancient Times, Tangyu had a slight guess: could this place be related to the Ancient Times?

Tangyu’s gaze suddenly fell on that old well, feeling inexplicably moved. Tangyu approached the well, and everyone followed.

Liang Youshan carefully examined it, then said disappointedly, "Boss, this is just an ordinary well, nothing special about it."

Tangyu frowned slightly and shook his head, "No, no, something’s not right."

"Not right, what’s not right?" Liang Youshan examined it again but still found nothing.

Everyone also carefully examined it but found nothing.

Fang Yishui suddenly said, "That’s strange, why is there no water in this well?"

Liang Youshan pouted, "It’s normal for a well to dry out in this season, especially one that’s not in use. It’s very normal for there to be no water."

Fang Yishui shook his head, "No, I read a lot of books, so don’t try to fool me. This season shouldn’t have water scarcity. Haven’t you noticed that the reservoir at the foot of the mountain is full? Moreover, anyone should know that on such a mountaintop, it’s impossible to dig a well and find water, right? Besides, didn’t the temples on the mountains shown on TV all go down to fetch water? This well is only five or six meters deep. How could you possibly get water at such a mountaintop depth of five or six meters?"

"Since you can’t get water, why dig a well here?"

Fang Yishui’s words immediately made everyone feel something odd.

Liang Youshan opened his mouth, "Right, Fang Yishui, you’re so smart. How come I didn’t think of that?"

"Of course, you didn’t even finish high school; how would you know these things? That’s why you should read more books, or else you end up being semi-illiterate like you," Fang Yishui said.

"Uh——" Liang Youshan felt struck again. What did that mean? How did he become semi-illiterate? He was also quite talented, okay?
