[Suddenly want to go to Clear Breeze Temple, looking for a group to join, looking for a leader...]

Because it was the first day of the new official website's live broadcast, not only was Daoist Chang Kong watching from the sidelines, but Tang Li would also log on from time to time after finishing his work. Then Tang Li was surprised to find that Clear Breeze Temple's official website was actually quite popular and generating a lot of discussion online.

This was completely unexpected.

However, after taking a closer look, he felt that the level of discussion and popularity on the official website had little to do with the website itself, but rather with the popularity of the Jingting live stream. It can only be said that the Jingting live stream was already very popular, and the promotional video that " The Subduing Demons " made for their official website was indeed quite good, so the double boost ultimately led to the current situation.

While promoting the official website, Jingting also took the opportunity to promote the short video series " Subduing Demons ": "The promotional video you just saw about Clear Breeze Temple was filmed by a short video production team called ' Clear Breeze Temple Subduing Demons.' The video was filmed right here in Clear Breeze Temple, and some of our fellow disciples even made cameo appearances. If you're interested, you can check it out. As the saying goes, one vote from you, one vote from me, and the Daoist priest will debut tomorrow!"

Everyone: "..."

-

After filming the short video, the crew of " The Subduing Demons " took a very relaxed approach to post-production editing. Of course, while they were taking a relaxed approach, they still needed to do the necessary promotion and marketing.

On this particular day, the young lady in charge of online promotion for the " Subduing Demons " production team calmly went online and suddenly found her official Weibo account flooded with comments from netizens. Everyone was asking when the short video for " Subduing Demons " would be released, and of course, many were also asking if they really had a collaboration with Clear Breeze Temple, and if a Daoist priest would actually appear in the video, etc...

The young woman felt flattered on one hand, but couldn't resist taking advantage of the massive influx of attention, focusing on answering every question.

[The post-production of " The Subduing Demons " is in progress, please follow and add it to your favorites.]

[There was indeed a collaboration with Clear Breeze Temple. The entire short video was basically filmed around Clear Breeze Temple and Clear Breeze Mountain. Everyone is welcome to follow the " Subduing Demons " team and visit the locations.]

The Daoist priests from Clear Breeze Temple are incredibly handsome in the TV series " Subduing Demons," and they have many fight scenes; it's definitely worth watching...

After forwarding and commenting on netizens' questions, the publicity team for " The Subduing Demons " also informed the director. The director, being experienced and knowledgeable, quickly guessed that Clear Breeze Temple had likely done the promotion. However, Clear Breeze Temple didn't seem like the kind of place that could afford to buy trending topics and do promotions, yet they not only did it, but with good results. The director felt he had made the right choice in partnering with Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple immediately instructed the publicity team to interact with them. After all, online traffic is fleeting, and when it comes, they must do everything they can to capitalize on it.

So the publicity coordinator for " The Subduing Demons " quickly followed Clear Breeze Temple 'Clear Breeze Temple Weibo and commented on their latest Weibo: "[Happy to cooperate.]"

Tang Li is now in charge of managing Clear Breeze Temple's Weibo and official website. His online acumen is far more acute than anyone else in Clear Breeze Temple, so he saw any interaction from the " Subduing Demons " side immediately. Not only did he see it, but he also gave immediate feedback: [Please give me your guidance!]

Netizens who were following this matter had been jumping between the two accounts, and now that they saw Clear Breeze Temple and the " Subduing Demons " crew successfully join hands, they instantly felt the excitement of seeing a Daoist priest and a demon officially announce their relationship.

[This comment makes it sound like we're about to get our marriage certificate.]

[It's no exaggeration to say that the content I posted on my WeChat Moments when my husband and I got married was similar to this.]

[I've already moved the documents to the Civil Affairs Bureau for you. When is a convenient time for you to pick up your certificates?]

Tang Li and the promotional staff for " The Subduing Demons " both knew that netizens were just making jokes, so they weren't angry and even played along.

Sometimes you give me a like, sometimes I give you a like. Anyway, the two of them are using official Weibo, so nobody knows whether it's a man or a woman behind the scenes. Therefore, they like each other's posts without any guilt. As long as there's traffic, they wouldn't even mind having the official Weibo accounts of Clear Breeze Temple and " The Subduing Demons " actually get married on the spot.

-

Tang Li has figured out how to capitalize on this surge in online traffic. And whether it's due to the launch of the official website or not, the number of visitors to Clear Breeze Temple seems to be increasing again recently.

Moreover, many of them came specifically to see Yun Zhaozhao.

Yun Zhaozhao never imagined that she would one day become a little-known tourist attraction at Clear Breeze Temple.

Initially, she thought that to promote the development of Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple, she would simply dress up beautifully every day and sit inside waiting for visitors. However, she later realized that wouldn't work; it would be too undignified. People came to see her out of curiosity, and if she were always there, they would quickly lose interest. It was better for her to go about her business as usual, occasionally disappointing these online friends. That way, their excitement might last a little longer.

So she would stay at Clear Breeze Temple for two days, and then go to Grandpa Lin's farm for a day or two.

The main idea is to do whatever you want.

Since the last time agricultural experts came to provide guidance and exchange ideas, the farm has started a completely new production and lifestyle.

Grandpa Lin, as the leader in agricultural production, contracted another 100 mu of land to plant corn and millet. The early rice that had been harvested earlier was replaced with late rice. As for the tea garden, in accordance with the agricultural experts' requirements, transplanting was done where necessary, pruning was done where necessary, and seedlings were cultivated where necessary...

Even though Yun Zhaozhao came, she couldn't really help much, because she couldn't do these farm chores. However, she never came empty-handed; she would always bring food and drinks prepared by Daoist Chang Kong. So, as she came more often, the villagers who did farm work all hoped that Yun Zhaozhao would come.

Sometimes Yun Zhaozhao would chat with the villagers.

One villager still remembers the bold words Yun Zhaozhao made when she first took over Clear Breeze Temple: "Back then, you and Auntie—the one who delivered vegetables to Clear Breeze Temple —said you were going to turn Clear Breeze Temple into a great Daoist temple. None of us villagers believed it! We even made a bet in private to see if Clear Breeze Temple could last two months or three months..."

Yun Zhaozhao: "Um, well, it's really not your fault, because I myself thought I probably wouldn't last more than a few months..."

Villager: "... I never expected you to actually persevere! Not only did you persevere, but in just one or two years, you not only transformed Clear Breeze Temple into a major Daoist temple, but you even brought jobs to us old men! Now, many parents in our village use you as an example when disciplining their children! They say, 'Look at Temple Master Yun, he's not much older than you, but how come he's so amazing? And look at you, you're useless at everything, and you're always hungry...'"

Yun Zhaozhao blushed and said, "Then there must be quite a few kids in your village who hate me, right?"

The villager, with an honest and simple face, said, "I wouldn't say I hate you, at most I just dislike you."

Yun Zhaozhao: "..."

The villagers probably felt the truth was harsh, so they tried to smooth things over, saying, "But don't worry, those are just kids being silly. We parents respect you very much. We'll work hard with Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple temple in this area."

Yun Zhaozhao: "... If I remember correctly, Clear Breeze Temple seems to be the only Daoist temple in this area."

Villager: "The key point is that it's big."

Yun Zhaozhao said confidently, "Okay, let's cheer each other on. But you all need to take care of yourselves too. If you feel like you can't handle it, just tell Grandpa Lin or me."

Villager: "It's okay. If I can't hold on any longer, I'll have my son come back and take over. If my son can't hold on, I'll have my grandson take over. Anyway, I'll definitely make sure you get a job."

Yun Zhaozhao: "..."No wonder the kids in my family hate me! They've taken on too much responsibility for Clear Breeze Temple at such a young age.

Chapter 72

It's no wonder the villagers here trust Clear Breeze Temple so much.

Before Clear Breeze Temple existed, the village's land was uncultivated, children's schooling was unattended, and even the elderly idled away their days in the village, waiting to die...

But since Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple, it has contracted out most of the land in the village. Now, the land that had been abandoned for many years has been planted with all kinds of crops by Clear Breeze Temple. The whole village has changed from its former desolation and is full of vitality like these farmlands. The village has become more colorful, and people's moods have become more cheerful.

The village primary school also received funding from Clear Breeze Temple, receiving new books and notebooks, and was even taken on a television interview by Clear Breeze Temple. Many villagers who work outside the village probably never dreamed that they would one day see their children on television. Although it wasn't for educational reasons, it was still on TV.

Even the old folks in the village have found new employment opportunities, no longer needing to sit around the mahjong table discussing outdated and obscure topics. Instead, they've rediscovered the meaning of life and their own value...

In the hearts of many villagers, Clear Breeze Temple is like a second life for their small village. Although they have not received much education, they know the principle of repaying kindness tenfold, so they naturally hope that Clear Breeze Temple can flourish and become bigger and stronger.

So let alone having their own sons and grandsons come back to fill their vacancies, they would be willing to risk their old lives.

Yun Zhaozhao was unaware that she had such a glorious and lofty image in the villagers' eyes. She simply took the villagers' joke about "endless generations of descendants" as a joke. However, even if it was a joke, the villagers' willingness to trust her unconditionally and do their best to help Clear Breeze Temple still moved her quite a bit.

She spent most of the day at Grandpa Lin's farm before returning to Clear Breeze Temple. She didn't come empty-handed, and naturally she wouldn't leave empty-handed either... This time when she returned to Clear Breeze Temple, she brought another basket of eggs for Daoist Chang Kong.
