Chapter 859: Chapter 833: When Divine Doctor Tang Arrives, It’s a Sunny Day

"Everyone stop, it’s Divine Doctor Tang, it’s Divine Doctor Tang!"

"Ah, it really is Divine Doctor Tang, quickly everyone, drop whatever you’re holding."

"It’s Brother Tangyu, great! Brother Tangyu is here, we don’t have to be afraid of being bullied by the bad guys."

Among the crowd, a few elders stepped forward, looking at Tangyu with immense excitement: "Divine Doctor Tang, you weren’t scared, were you?"

Tangyu said, "What’s going on here? Did something major happen in the village?"

"This—" The elder hesitated, unsure of how to explain.

At this moment, the crowd parted, and the village chief and Deng Li rushed over. Seeing Tangyu, they were also extremely excited. Deng Li ran up eagerly: "Brother Yu, why are you here?"

Tangyu said, "I was just passing by and decided to stop and check on you. What’s happened here? Tell me." freeweɓnovel-cøm

Deng Li was about to speak when the village chief interrupted: "Don’t stand here, this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go to my place and sit down before we discuss it."

Deng Li nodded: "Yes, yes, I got confused. Brother Yu, let’s go to the chief’s house and talk, it’s a complicated matter."

Tangyu nodded and waved to the car. Everyone got out of the car. The villagers of Wanshan Village looked on curiously at these strangers. The village chief waved to the crowd: "Everyone, disperse for now."

Soon, they arrived at the village chief’s house and sat down in the living room. Deng Li began to angrily narrate the events.

After listening, Tangyu finally understood the situation. Recently, a developer set sights on the mountains near Wanshan Reservoir, directly negotiating with Yang County to invest and turn those mountains into a tourist attraction, incorporating the reservoir into the plan. Naturally, this drew the villagers’ dissatisfaction; it felt like an outright seizure of their mountains and water.

Those mountains have been passed down through generations in Wanshan Village, always used for planting trees and tea. If they are confiscated, their lives would become difficult.

Deng Li said, "The developers and county officials speak nicely, claiming that once the tourist site is developed, we won’t have to rely on farming and can earn through agritourism. They listed a bunch of benefits and all that, but I don’t trust their facades. They just want us to hand over the mountains so they can develop it. Once developed, it won’t be this good anymore; we might even lose the right to use the reservoir water. How would we survive then?"

"Besides, we’ve cherished the tranquility of our village for generations. When Miyun Town started agritourism, we didn’t join. If we join now, our village would be ruined. So, all of us unanimously oppose it, no matter what benefits they offer."

All the villagers vehemently opposed the development; not a single one agreed.

So, it infuriated the developers and county officials. Every day, people from the county and town came to try to persuade us. The developers even resorted to both coercion and cajoling. Luckily, with Deng Li around, the villagers were not put at a severe disadvantage.

Liang Youshan was especially indignant: "This is blatant robbery. These damn shady businessmen, I’d love to kill them. Don’t worry, Chief. Now that our leader is here, the matter will be resolved well. Let’s see who dares use force now."

Tangyu said, "Don’t worry, Chief. Since none of you agree, no one can force you. I’ll handle this. Let the villagers know it will be fine."

"Alright, alright." The village chief stood up excitedly. With Tangyu’s reassurance, he felt secure, completely trusting Tangyu’s capabilities. If Tangyu gets involved, nothing seems insurmountable.

The village chief gratefully said, "Tangyu, we’re truly in your debt. You are like a living Bodhisattva to our village."

Tangyu shook his head with a smile: "No need for formalities, Chief."

"I’ll go inform everyone. You all sit here for a bit," the chief said and quickly left.

After seeing the chief off, Tangyu looked at Deng Li: "Indeed, you’ve reached the Innate Realm. Deng Li, explain in detail how you broke through to the Innate Realm."

Deng Li nodded and recounted in detail what happened after he returned to Wanshan Village.

After listening, Tangyu pondered for a while before saying, "Since returning, you’ve been running to that dilapidated mountain temple in the back mountain every morning. And on the mountain peak, you’ve been meditating and absorbing Immortal Spirit Qi, leading to a rapid increase in your strength unexpectedly?"

Deng Li thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Brother Yu, that should be it. It’s especially baffling for me too."

Liang Youshan guessed: "If that’s the case, could it be related to that mountain temple in the back mountain?"

Tangyu nodded: "From what we know so far, it does seem likely related to that mountain temple. Otherwise, this situation is highly unusual. That mountain temple might be a place brimming with nature’s spiritual energy."

"Mountain temple?" Deng Li pondered: "No way, that temple is in ruins and hasn’t been a site for incense offerings for a long time. Occasionally, villagers go to offer incense. But according to village elders, the temple was once very popular with consistent incense offerings and had a head monk. Later, it fell into disrepair. It seems the temple has a long history. An elder once mentioned that he couldn’t recall how many years ago the temple was built."

"Our village records indicate that the mountain temple was already there when we first moved to Lateshan Village. We don’t really know how many years have passed since then."

Tangyu’s eyes flickered: "Regardless, we’ll find out when we visit. There might still be some secrets there."

"Alright, I’ll take you there in a bit, Yu-ge." Deng Li nodded.

Tangyu also nodded. No rush for now, the most important thing is to resolve the issues of Lateshan Village.

A noisy commotion was heard from outside. The village head entered with a few suited and booted individuals. The leader was a ruddy-faced, middle-aged man in his forties, with a balding patch, clearly an official from the county based on his appearance.

Beside him was a somewhat thin man, who looked quite shrewd, exuding a business-like air.

There were also several others accompanying them, including two that Tangyu recognized: Mayor Wu of Miyun Town and the head of the local police station.

Upon seeing Tangyu, they all looked greatly surprised and walked over respectfully.

"Divine Doctor Tang, what a surprise to see you here! It’s an honor to witness your presence in person," the rotund official exclaimed with a flattering smile.

The village head came over and introduced, "Divine Doctor Tang, let me introduce you. This is Director You from the County Tourism Administration, and this is Manager Fu."

Tangyu glanced at the two without much interest.

Though they met with some indifference, neither of them showed any anger. After all, Tangyu’s reputation was immense, and they indeed had no standing to demand his attention.

Tangyu spoke, "Director You, Manager Fu, you’re here to discuss the development project with the village head, right? Talk about it with me instead."

"This—" Director You’s expression changed slightly, feeling an uneasy premonition.

The village head quickly added, "Yes, Director You, Manager Fu. Discuss it with Divine Doctor Tang. If he agrees, we all agree."

Director You hesitated for a moment before saying, "That might not be appropriate. After all, this concerns the interests of all the villagers in Lateshan Village."

Tangyu interrupted, "I’ll say it again, discuss it with me. If you don’t want to, then leave."

Though the tone was uncomfortable, Director You had no choice but to endure it. He knew he could not afford to offend Tangyu. Even the County Magistrate had to be cautious around him.

Director You finally nodded, "Alright, Divine Doctor Tang, let’s discuss it with you."

Then, Director You launched into a vivid and enthusiastic presentation, depicting a wonderful blueprint for the project. His words were enticing enough to tempt anyone with weaker resolve.

But Tangyu was unmoved. "Don’t waste time with that. Get to the point. The villagers of Lateshan don’t agree to giving up the mountain for development, so drop the idea. Cancel the project."

His words choked Director You.

Manager Fu widened his eyes, shocked by the audacity.

"Mr. Tang, isn’t this a bit arbitrary? Society progresses through development. This is a national policy. The land belongs to the state. We’ve established the project and made all preparations. You’re asking us to abandon it now, wasting billions. Isn’t that going too far?" Manager Fu said, displeased.

Director You added, "Indeed, Divine Doctor Tang. We can’t just abandon the project. Development is essential for progress. We’ve followed all the national laws and regulations for proper acquisition and offered the best conditions. Isn’t that enough?"

Tangyu replied, "That’s your concern, not mine. My concern is the villagers’ wishes. State your losses, I’ll compensate you. Satisfied?"

Again, both were taken aback.

Manager Fu remarked, "So, there’s no room for negotiation?"

Tangyu gave Manager Fu a cold glance and a cold laugh, "I’m being nice enough to let you leave without losses. If you say there’s no negotiation, then the discussion ends here. No one touches this mountain. Anyone tries, they’ll face the consequences. Now, you can leave."

"You—" Director You and Manager Fu, thoroughly frustrated, stormed out furiously.
