Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 861 - 835: No One Shall Ascend the Mountain

Tangyu said, "That’s right, you definitely get water from the Wanshan Reservoir. Clearly, you can’t get water at the top of the mountain, so why drill a well here?"

Liang Youshan shook his head and said, "It’s really strange. Maybe they just drilled it for fun, thinking a well would look nice. No matter how you look at it, this just seems like an ordinary dry well."

Tangyu shook his head, "Don’t ignore anything that seems ordinary. Often, secrets are hidden in the things that are most easily overlooked. I always feel that this ancient well isn’t simple. It gives me a very strange feeling."

Fang Yishui, with her meticulous mind, raised her eyebrow and said, "This ancient well is too clean, so clean that it doesn’t look like an abandoned dry well at all."

"Clean?"

Everyone took a closer look and found that it was indeed quite clean. There wasn’t a single dry leaf or dead grass in the well, and there was hardly any dust. It seemed as if the well had been frequently cleaned.

Tangyu picked up a pebble and threw it into the well. To everyone’s surprise, the pebble caused a slight ripple midway through its descent, and then it disappeared right before their eyes.

"What, it disappeared?"

"What is happening?"

Everyone was shocked. Such a situation was indeed too strange. Especially for Fang Yishui and the others, who had never witnessed such a bizarre event before, even as Ancient Martial Artists, they found it hard to understand.

Tangyu was also thoughtful. After a moment, he said, "This ancient well should be a passage, hidden by a formation. However, it seems to have loosened over time, otherwise throwing a pebble wouldn’t have triggered the formation prohibitions. There must be significant secrets hidden beneath this well, perhaps related to Ancient Times."

After the initial shock, Liang Youshan burst into laughter, "Haha, boss, we must be destined for this! We’ve discovered another Ancient Ruins site, and this time no one is competing with us. Doesn’t that mean we’re about to uncover a great treasure?"

Tangyu cautioned, "Don’t be too happy too soon. This place doesn’t seem like an Ancient Ruins site, just a bit peculiar. We need to investigate further to be sure. I’ll try to clear the passage and take a look below. You all wait here. Now, step back a bit."

Everyone immediately stepped back. Tangyu formed a seal with his hands, and a surge of Pure Yang Power shot into the ancient well, instantly triggering the formation prohibitions at the bottom. Waves of energy spread out, and soon a passage appeared before Tangyu. He leaped in and the light in the ancient well immediately receded, restoring its original state.

Everyone gathered around and found that there was nothing left. It was amazing; a living person jumped in and vanished into thin air, as if opening a portal through time.

As soon as he passed through the ancient well barrier, Tangyu landed in a stone chamber. The chamber wasn’t large, only about fifty square meters. The scene here was exactly the same as when Tangyu met Zi Cong Sword Immortal in the Sky Beyond the Skies. Similarly, a figure sat cross-legged on a jade pedestal in the middle of the chamber, also completely sealed by Pure Yang Stone.

Seeing this scene again, Tangyu remained much calmer.

Tangyu walked over. The figure sealed in Pure Yang Stone was an old monk who looked to be in his seventies, clad in a kasaya with sword-like eyebrows.

"I didn’t expect there to be a small hidden space beneath this ancient temple, where an Ancient Monk sealed himself. The seal seems to be loosening, and he may be about to wake up," Tangyu thought to himself, understanding much more thanks to his previous experience.

Different thoughts arose in Tangyu’s mind, looking at the Pure Yang Stone. If he could cultivate here, it would be incredibly beneficial.

But he suppressed the thought, "No, the temperament of strong figures from Ancient Times is hard to predict. This monk seems to have a lot of hostility between his brows, not someone to trifle with. If I wake him up prematurely and absorb his Pure Yang Stone, he might kill me in a fit of anger. Greed could lead to my downfall."

The value of Pure Yang Stone was well-known, even coveted by great powers from Ancient Times.

So Tangyu didn’t dare to rashly absorb the stone, fearing it might provoke the Ancient Monk and bring about his own demise. Better safe than sorry.

After a quick look around, Tangyu decided to retreat, feeling that this wasn’t a place to linger.

The ancient well fluctuated, and Tangyu’s figure reappeared on the ground.

Liang Youshan immediately asked, "Boss, how did it go? Found any treasures?"

Tangyu shook his head, "There’s no treasure, nothing at all. It’s empty and long abandoned. This place might have been a retreat for a master from Ancient Times. Let’s head down the mountain."

Liang Youshan was a bit disappointed. He had hoped to find a great treasure, but there was nothing.

"Boss, this place has potential. We can’t let those greedy merchants ruin it. It’s like a natural treasure trove. I think we could even establish a Taoist lineage here. How about it, boss? Shall we establish a sect right here?" Liang Youshan suggested with a laugh.

Tangyu shook his head and smiled, "Now is a tumultuous time, where would we have the spare energy to establish sects? Let’s talk about this later. However, this piece of treasure land must indeed be well protected. We absolutely cannot let anyone cause any damage here."

Liang Youshan gritted his teeth and said, "We must protect it. Whoever dares to destroy it, I’ll be the first to not worry. Damn it, if I’m provoked, I’ll cut down all of those crooks."

As the group descended the mountain, they saw a man running over, panting heavily, "Deng Li, something’s wrong, you all need to go check it out quickly."

Deng Li’s face changed, and he immediately grabbed the man’s arm, "What’s wrong? What happened?"

The man pointed in a direction, "Over there, a large number of construction crews are coming into the mountain. Excavators and bulldozers are all coming, they want to force their way through and start construction. The villagers have all gone there, but they have too many people. If a fight breaks out, we’ll be at a huge disadvantage."

"What? Let’s go there quickly." Deng Li’s face changed again, now full of anger.

Even Tangyu looked somewhat displeased, "Let’s go."

After crossing several mountain peaks, they saw ahead a large crowd gathered. One side was the developer’s construction crew, numbering in the hundreds, all wearing blue safety helmets and fully equipped. There were more than thirty large machines, obviously intending to level this entire mountain area within a day.

Meanwhile, over a hundred villagers from Wan Mountain Village, both old and young, were blocking the machinery with their bodies, not letting them advance any further.

The noise of shouting and yelling was mixed with threats of anger. The construction crew was clearly aggressive, with about two hundred workers at the front making way, followed by the machines scaling the mountain.

The village chief was doing his best to organize everyone, trying to prevent a conflict. This matter needed to wait for Tangyu and his group to resolve.

"Divine Doctor Tang and his group are here." A villager shouted in joy.

As Tangyu and his group walked into the crowd, the workers on the construction side all turned to look. These people didn’t look like real workers at all, but rather hooligans in disguise.

Deng Li pointed angrily at the workers and shouted, "What are you trying to do? These mountains are ours. We didn’t agree to sell them to you. On what grounds are you moving our mountains?"

A man stepped forward, sneering disdainfully as he glanced at Deng Li and his group, "The mountains are yours, huh? When did that happen? Don’t you know that the land belongs to the state? In name, it’s yours, but in reality, it’s owned by the state. You only have management rights, and you really think it’s your private property?"

"Today, if you know what’s good for you, just sign the contracts, and you’ll still get your money. Each family can get over a million, enough for a lifetime. What more do you want? Isn’t that enough? Getting a million for these few broken mountain peaks is like a windfall from heaven, and you’re still being stubborn? "

"If you don’t sign, that’s fine too. Today, I’m going to move this mountain, and open the road. At that time, you won’t get a single cent, just wait and cry. Stupid peasants, so ignorant."

Deng Li instantly became furious, taking a step forward and grabbing the man’s collar, "Who are you calling names? Say it again if you dare. This mountain belongs to our village; if we say no, no one can touch it."

The man, being grabbed by Deng Li, also became enraged, "Damn it, you’re asking for death. Get him!"

The workers behind him immediately rushed forward. They had been waiting for a good fight and knew they’d get a bigger reward today.

Tangyu shouted immediately, "Everyone, fall back."

Without needing further instructions, the villagers of Wan Mountain Village quickly retreated, leaving the field for battle.

Liang Youshan and the others, who were already furious, didn’t hold back. They rushed forward to fight.

Thus, a comical scene unfolded, with nine people fighting against a few hundred.

More amusing was that after a series of miserable screams and wails, the few hundred were all lying on the ground. In just two or three minutes, everyone except the drivers in the construction vehicles had been floored.

This scene left everyone completely stunned, frozen in place like wooden chickens.

This is —

Too unbelievable, right?

Deng Li stepped on the chest of the lead hooligan, glaring angrily, "Try being arrogant again for me."
