The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 583: Celestial City Seven-Star Tomb

Due to the water source, the tea at Celestial Tea House has a unique flavor, attracting many wealthy merchants from Celestial Capital and other nearby major cities to come and taste it.

Over time, the water source became known to everyone, so Wu Changgui didn’t bother to hide it. Instead, he turned it into a small attraction. Visitors couldn’t take photos or leave with anything, but they could taste the water from the source.

Looking at the unique pavilion built in the middle of the courtyard, Liu Zixuan walked straight over.

He stroked his chin and asked, "Is this the water source?"

"Yes, Master Zixuan. When I first rented this place, there was a spring here. I was just doing small business at the time, didn’t think much of it, and kept the water for my family to drink. Later, when small business got tougher, I had to look for other ways."

"Back then, this street wasn’t so bustling. It was mostly street stalls. I just thought I had to support my family, so I started selling large bowls of tea using this spring water. Surprisingly, business got better and better. Eventually, it evolved into the tea house it is today."

"Was there any renovation later?" Liu Zixuan asked again.

Wu Changgui nodded, "The spring was small back then, producing about two buckets of water a day. I decided to dig a little deeper, and unexpectedly discovered that the water volume below was vast, so I turned it into this well."

"Have you ever gone down there, or found the true source of this spring water?" Liu Zixuan asked seriously.

If Wu Changgui and his people had gone to the bottom, they might have already been in the Seven-Star Tomb, and the treasures inside would likely have been acquired by Wu Changgui.

If not, then Liu Zixuan and his team would have to go down themselves.

Wu Changgui chuckled awkwardly, "We’re just making a living off this spring water. It’s already enough, so why bother to explore its source? I’ve always believed that everything has a spirit, and there’s no need to stir up dust, so we only dug three or four meters down at the time."

When digging down, did you find anything special, like a hard stone slab or something ancient?" Madman Zhou asked.

Wu Changgui scratched his head and suddenly his eyes lit up, "We didn’t find anything by the spring, but in the cellar, we discovered a very unique statue."

"A statue?" Liu Zixuan questioned suspiciously, "Where is it?"

"The statue is still in the cellar, and I’ve been paying tribute to it. Since I worship the Bodhisattva, I thought it must have been sent to rescue my family in times of trouble. The statue in the cellar was discovered before the spring!"

"Take us to see it."

With that, the group went directly into Wu Changgui’s cellar. As soon as they went down, the aroma of wine filled everyone’s nostrils.

"Did you sell wine before?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

Wu Changgui scratched his head, "My ancestors were winemakers, but Master Zixuan, you know, there’s no market for traditionally made wine anymore. Reluctantly, I went against the will of my ancestors and turned it into a tea house."

Wu Changgui finished speaking and turned on the light inside.

Only then did the group see, on the right side of the cellar, several sealed jars likely filled with wine. And on the front wall of the cellar was a statue set into the wall.

This statue had the air of a Terracotta Warrior general, holding a short sword, chest out, with a hint of killing intent in its eyes, as if facing an enemy.

Wu Changgui lit three incense sticks, kowtowed in front of the statue, muttered a few words, and returned to Liu Zixuan’s side, "This is what we dug out back then. I never moved it, just left it here as a tribute."

"Have you seen a statue like this before?" Liu Zixuan turned and asked Madman Zhou.

Madman Zhou stepped forward to examine it closely, pinched a bit of dust from the statue, and tasted it on the tip of his tongue.

Then he showed a look of surprise, "If I’m not mistaken, this statue is at least 1,300 years old."

"Judging by the timeline, it should be from the same period as the Seven-Star Tomb in Ghost Wood City?" Liu Zixuan shrugged and said.

"That’s right." Madman Zhou leaned in closer to Liu Zixuan, "I can’t wait to go in and take a look!"

"Don’t even think about any treasures inside." Liu Zixuan glanced at Madman Zhou and said angrily.

Madman Zhou solemnly shook his head, "No, this time I’m not after treasure, just purely want to see it."

This old guy never had a serious day in his life, but after examining that statue, he suddenly became so serious, and Liu Zixuan’s eyes flashed with a hint of playful intrigue.

He tugged Madman Zhou aside, "Have you discovered something?"

Madman Zhou gave a mysterious smile, "Don’t ask yet, let’s find someone to dig first. If nothing goes wrong, we should find the Seven-Star Tomb’s entrance not far behind this statue. As for what I’ve discovered, I’ll tell you once we’re inside. This time, we might witness something mysterious yet long vanished."

"Something?" Liu Zixuan stared at Madman Zhou.

Madman Zhou hesitated, "Not just something, maybe it’s even connected to a vanished ancient kingdom. If my guess is correct, I can guarantee this Seven-Star Tomb will be at least ten times more mysterious than the previous ones, and the items useful to you inside will be several times more than before!"

Madman Zhou never joked about treasures, and his words were so precise and sincere that Liu Zixuan’s heart was instantly filled with countless curiosities.

What could possibly be inside to make Madman Zhou so solemn?

He really wanted to see what was in there!

Then he turned to Wu Changgui, "I’m here to find something. It’s around your cellar or underground."

"Does that mean you’re going to destroy my tea house?" Wu Changgui was a bit reluctant. If that happened, he would immediately go bankrupt. After all, he relied on the tea house to support his family.

Liu Zixuan smiled, "Don’t worry, it won’t affect your tea house’s usual business, but I need you to do me two favors."

"Master Zixuan, just say it. As long as it doesn’t destroy my tea house, anything is manageable!" Wu Changgui said helplessly.

He had no choice because he could not afford to offend Liu Zixuan.

"First, find a few reliable people to dig. You must ensure they keep their mouths shut and reveal nothing they’ve seen or heard,"

"No problem, I’ve got a few trusted people over the years." Wu Changgui nodded.

"Second, for the next few days, don’t let guests in the backyard. You must ensure this point, or else your tea house and your entire family will disappear from this world!"

Hearing that, Wu Changgui didn’t dare utter a word and immediately nodded in agreement.

Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes: Seven-Star Tomb, I’m coming back!
