Wen Xu: "?" You're really playing fancy games!
Chapter 153
That day, Yun Zhaozhao was lying on a recliner in the yard, petting her cat and watching videos, when a Yun Zhaozhao suddenly rushed in and told her that they had dug up a treasure while planting trees on the back mountain.
Yun Zhaozhao initially thought the other person was joking.
After all, when Clear Breeze Temple was being expanded, Yun Zhaozhao often joked with Daoist Chang Kong and Jingting, saying that one day they might actually dig up a treasure!
But back then, the foundation was dug quite deep, and as a result, we didn't find any treasure, not even a piece of junk.
Therefore, Yun Zhaozhao never even considered this aspect when she participated in the afforestation project.
Even when the Daoist priest came to tip her off, she didn't take it too seriously.
But as more and more Daoist priests informed her, and her phone kept ringing, Yun Zhaozhao finally believed that this was a windfall, and got into her car and drove to the back mountain near Clear Breeze Temple.
The back hill was already packed with people.
Besides the Daoist priests from Clear Breeze Temple, villagers who came to help with the tree planting and nearby residents also crowded around to watch.
Even when Yun Zhaozhao arrived, quite a few people were already taking photos and videos. After all, finding treasure while digging up a tree sounds quite fantastical, and many people wouldn't even dare to dream of something so amazing.
Upon seeing Yun Zhaozhao, everyone consciously made way for her to pass.
Yun Zhaozhao's head buzzed after just one glance—even though she hadn't seen much of the world, she could tell that although only a small corner had been dug out, it looked like a large ancient tomb!
Although Yun Zhaozhao had previously set up a Daoist museum at Clear Breeze Temple, archaeology is such a specialized task that it really should be left to professionals.
She didn't know which department to contact, so she immediately thought of Officer Xiao Deng.
Officer Xiao Deng arrived even faster than she had expected.
Moreover, upon arrival, they immediately ordered people to protect the site and reported the situation to the relevant higher-level cultural relics protection departments by phone.
Although Yun Zhaozhao was also quite curious about what treasures could be unearthed from this ancient tomb, she was also very clear that if any treasures were indeed unearthed, they would definitely have to be handed over to the state, and it would never be their Clear Breeze Temple's turn. So, despite her curiosity, she remained quite calm during the viewing process.
Unexpectedly, a week later, Officer Xiao Deng contacted her again and told Yun Zhaozhao even better news.
It turns out that they did indeed unearth an ancient tomb this time, and it was full of immovable ancient artifacts, including ancient stone carvings and murals.
According to the relevant principles of the Law on the Protection of Ancient Cultural Relics, these cultural relics cannot be moved and can only be protected on-site. Once these ancient cultural relics are classified, the cultural relics protection department should establish a cultural relics protection scenic area at the original site of the relics, specifically for the protection of these ancient cultural relics.
The original site of this cultural relic is so close to Yun Zhaozhao's Clear Breeze Temple that this cultural relic protection area may become another attraction for Clear Breeze Temple in the future.
In fact, we don't even need to wait until later; there are already many rumors online that a royal tomb has been unearthed at Clear Breeze Temple, containing a huge amount of treasure.
If such outrageous rumors came from elsewhere, netizens certainly wouldn't believe them. But because the matter involves Clear Breeze Temple, netizens have inexplicably come to believe them to some extent.
Many netizens even commented in hindsight. "I told you long ago that Clear Breeze Temple is a place with excellent feng shui."
The rumor spread so far that even the Daoist priests at True Yang Temple believed it.
Later, Daoist Jingyang of True Yang Temple called Yun Zhaozhao and immediately asked, "I heard that your Clear Breeze Temple unearthed an imperial tomb?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "... You actually believe such an outrageous rumor?"
Daoist Jingyang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew it was impossible. Our True Yang Temple such a large Daoist temple, and we've never unearthed an imperial tomb nearby. How could your Clear Breeze Temple, such a small temple, have unearthed an imperial tomb...?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "Although we didn't find an imperial tomb, we did unearth an ancient tomb."
Daoist Jingyang: "..."
Yun Zhaozhao: "Moreover, I heard there are many ancient stone carvings and murals inside. Maybe next time you come to Clear Breeze Temple, you'll have to buy a combined ticket for us and this ancient tomb."
Daoist Jingyang: "..." Not exactly jealous, but absolutely insanely envious.

The legends of ancient tombs and imperial mausoleums might seem eerie if linked to other places, but when associated with Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple, they inexplicably add to its mystique.
Moreover, because of the existence of this ancient tomb, many archaeology enthusiasts have traveled long distances to Clear Breeze Temple, hoping to obtain first-hand information and inside stories about the excavation of the ancient tomb. There are even some internet celebrities known for their daring, who say they want to explore Clear Breeze Mountain at night and stay overnight on the mountain.
This has made Clear Breeze Temple even more famous online. Even the guesthouses at Clear Breeze Temple are fully booked every day because of this sudden surge in popularity.
Yun Zhaozhao remained silent, only counting money, counting money, and counting money.
Of course, none of these things made Yun Zhaozhao the happiest. What made Yun Zhaozhao the happiest was that, because of the discovery of the ancient tomb, the number of volunteers signing up for the Clear Breeze Temple tree planting activity had increased by dozens or even hundreds of times.
After all, if you say you want to plant trees, many citizens might not be particularly interested, but if you say you can find treasure... then probably nine out of ten would be interested.
After the Daoist priests who came to Clear Breeze Temple broadcast left, Yun Zhaozhao's tree planting activities were indeed short of manpower. Now, not only are there enough people, but there are even more than enough.
The hill behind where the ancient tomb was discovered is now protected, so it's definitely not safe to plant trees there anymore. But that's alright, there are plenty of barren hills near Clear Breeze Temple, and every one of them can be planted with trees, so we're not afraid of any number of visitors.
The news that " Clear Breeze Temple is a place of auspicious feng shui" has proven to be true, attracting not only the attention of citizens but also the attention of many investors.
Sure enough, someone soon contacted Yun Zhaozhao, saying they wanted to build a wildlife park near Clear Breeze Temple.
Yun Zhaozhao had previously kept two phoenixes at the Clear Breeze Temple Guesthouse, and also kept some fish and fed many stray cats at the Clear Breeze Temple. But these small animals were nothing compared to the animals in a real zoo. And to be honest, City A hadn't really had a decent zoo in all these years. At least, Yun Zhaozhao had never been to a zoo in all the time she had lived in City A.
If this wildlife park can be successfully built, it will not only be good news for the children of Clear Breeze Temple, but also an excellent place for the children of nearby rural primary schools.
On a larger scale, this is also a major benefit for all citizens of City A.
With this in mind, Yun Zhaozhao warmly welcomed the investors, even suggesting that once the zoo was built, Clear Breeze Temple could provide the animals with feed at a lower price, and that zoo staff could enjoy certain benefits when dining at Clear Breeze Temple's canteen.
The investors probably didn't expect Yun Zhaozhao to be so helpful, so much so that the two sides had a very pleasant conversation, and it felt like the zoo project would be finalized at any moment.
However, on the other hand, many cities now try every means to attract investment and talent in order to develop. Previously, Clear Breeze Temple cooperated with various forestry and agricultural universities to provide job opportunities for college graduates, which already made the relevant leaders of City A look at Yun Zhaozhao with more respect. Now, even investment promotion is starting to target Clear Breeze Temple as a living signboard, which makes the leaders of City A pay more and more attention to Clear Breeze Temple.
Even the director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau personally called to inquire whether Yun Zhaozhao had encountered any problems at work and if she needed any assistance...
After hanging up the phone, Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but sigh to Tang Li beside her, "If only I had been asked this question when I first took over Clear Breeze Temple..."
Tang Li: "I think it's not too late to ask now. Don't you think our Daoist temple lacks nothing except a true treasure to guard the temple? Of course, you don't count!"
Yun Zhaozhao: "..."
Speaking of the treasures of the temple, the treasure of True Yang Temple seems to be a " White Jade Mystic Sword ", which is said to be able to drive away evil spirits, ward off evil, and bring peace to the mind.
Clear Breeze Temple is different. The most prized possession of Clear Breeze Temple has always belonged to the Yun Zhaozhao.
That's why Tang Li used his ultimate skill at point-blank range just now.
Yun Zhaozhao felt a bit shameless asking the director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau for the town's treasure, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel incredibly excited. She thought that next time the Culture and Tourism Bureau called her to ask if she needed any help, she would definitely offer to help, after all, what if she succeeded?
Yun Zhaozhao kept this idea in mind, and later, whenever any leader asked her about any difficulties or what help she needed, she would always bring up the matter of the museum's prized possession.
In the end, to everyone's surprise, she actually managed to get it done.
It turns out that Officer Xiao Deng had previously told her that there were many ancient stone carvings in the ancient tomb discovered behind Clear Breeze Temple. When the experts were excavating these stone carvings, they found one of them, which was about the Daoist Taiji Bagua Diagram.
This stone carving is small and exquisite, with superb carving skills. Among the many stone carvings in the ancient tomb, it may not be the most outstanding, but it is quite suitable as a treasure of True Yang Temple.
After going through layers of approval from higher authorities, and considering Clear Breeze Temple's contribution to the development of City A and the fact that the ancient tomb was first discovered by the Clear Breeze Temple, it was ultimately decided that the stone carving of the Taiji Bagua Diagram would be temporarily preserved in the Clear Breeze Temple Museum.
Upon receiving the news, Yun Zhaozhao immediately called Daoist Jingyang of True Yang Temple for a "friendly" exchange between the two temples. " Daoist Jingyang, have you ever seen the stone carvings of the Taiji Bagua Diagram from the Han Dynasty?... What, you haven't seen them either? Then would you like to come to our Clear Breeze Temple to see them?"
