Yun Zhaozhao: "..." I can tell, this martial uncle must have been a radical youth when he was young.
Moreover, this Martial Uncle Chuli was really cursing! Yun Zhaozhao listened with trepidation, and couldn't help but think to herself that this Martial Uncle must have a lot in common with Jingting.
Whether Martial Uncle Chuli dislikes True Yang Temple True Yang Temple is just pretending, the fact that Daoist Jingyang sent him and the 10 baby Daoist priests to Clear Breeze Temple is equivalent to completing half of Yun Zhaozhao's 1 million task ahead of schedule.
As for the remaining half, we'll need to find another way. After all, we can't rely entirely on True Yang Temple, otherwise things might get complicated.
The sudden arrival of so many people at Clear Breeze Temple delighted Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao the most, as this group would be assisting them in managing the new temple's daily operations. Leaving aside the other ten junior masters, the highly respected Martial Uncle Chuli who had just arrived would undoubtedly be in charge of the Martial Uncle Chuli's daily affairs from now on.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhaozhao told Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao that the daily work of Clear Breeze Temple would still be handled by the two of them.
Daoist Cen: "... What about Martial Uncle Chuli?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "Don't treat Martial Uncle Chuli as an ordinary Daoist priest. Just treat him as the treasure of our Clear Breeze Temple. When have you ever seen the treasure of a temple looking for work? His only value is to stay in our Clear Breeze Temple and let everyone know that we have a highly respected old Daoist priest here, so that young Daoist priests are willing to come to our Clear Breeze Temple. Just doing that is enough."
Yun Zhaozhao relayed the same words to Tang Li. Tang Li had no objection to who should oversee the daily operations of Clear Breeze Temple; his concern was that since Martial Uncle Chuli had arrived, Clear Breeze Temple should definitely promote him properly. Otherwise, how would others know that Clear Breeze Temple had a highly respected senior Daoist priest?
As for how to promote it...
Tang Li: " Martial Uncle Chuli is already a centenarian. I think that's a great publicity point. We can make a point about his longevity. For example, we can talk about how the feng shui of our Clear Breeze Temple is good for people. After all, we're going to build the Prosperity Spring later, and netizens will definitely make that connection automatically."
Yun Zhaozhao: "But this involves false advertising, doesn't it? I think when we do advertising, we should try to be as truthful as possible, and state the facts as they are. There's nothing wrong with promoting Martial Uncle Chuli's status as a centenarian, but why he became a centenarian, I think we need to approach it from another angle..."
Tang Li: "Then why do you think he was able to live to be over a hundred years old? Was it because he was a cultivator, blessed by heaven, or did he have special cultivation techniques that allowed him to prolong his life?"
Yun Zhaozhao thought for Martial Uncle Chuli had cursed everyone in True Yang Temple, and hesitated before saying, "Does the one who is good at cursing gain eternal life?"
Tang Li: "..."
Chapter 76
The shrewish and long-lived Martial Uncle Chuli and the ten young Daoist priests all need to be properly settled.
Fortunately, many buildings in the new Clear Breeze Temple are almost finished, so Yun Zhaozhao temporarily had some new rooms cleaned up and some unused items from the old temple moved there. This freed up several rooms in the old temple, which were just enough to accommodate Martial Uncle Chuli and the 10 little Daoist priests.
Despite his indiscriminate attacks when Martial Uncle Chuli hurled insults, Yun Zhaozhao quickly realized that he seemed to only berate the people of True Yang Temple. His attitude towards Yun Zhaozhao and the people of Clear Breeze Temple was surprisingly good. Moreover, he was not picky at all. He not only did not raise any objections to the temporary accommodations that Yun Zhaozhao arranged for him, but even surprisingly praised them, saying they were quite good.
This made Yun Zhaozhao secretly breathe a sigh of relief, after all, she only hoped that an ancestor would come in the sense of a title, not in the sense of a ancestor in the actual sense.
Martial Uncle Chuli is getting old, and given his seniority, it wouldn't be appropriate for any junior to share a room with him, so Yun Zhaozhao arranged for him to have a room to himself.
As for the 10 young Daoist priests, since they were mostly boys with only 2 girls, Yun Zhaozhao arranged for the two girls to stay in double rooms, while the remaining 8 boys were divided into two groups and stayed in four-person rooms.
Previously, when Jingting streamed live online, viewers sometimes had the illusion that they were virtually raising virtual babies. However, compared to Jingting, these 10 little ones are the real babies!
Especially the youngest one, a three-year-old toddler, whom Yun Zhaozhao gave the Daoist name Sansanzi. Perhaps because she was the youngest, she looked incredibly cute and adorable, with chubby, fair skin and a sweet tongue. Everyone else called Yun Zhaozhao "Yun Zhaozhao "Master Dad."
Yun Zhaozhao had always claimed that she didn't like children because she felt she couldn't handle them. But after spending just one day with Sansanzi, she was completely won over.
Not only did Yun Zhaozhao become a fan of Sansanzi, but netizens went crazy with excitement as soon Jingting let these 10 little ones appear in the live broadcast room that day.
After all, they were all little Daoist priests dressed in small robes and with their hair styled in Daoist buns. Most importantly, each little figure was carrying a sword, and many of them weren't even as tall as the swords! So they did look quite adorable.
[Oh my god, has Clear Breeze Temple gained a bunch of little Daoist babies? They're so cute, soft, and adorable, I want to cuddle them!]
[Don't be so surprised, upstairs. Many Daoist temples have junior Daoist priests. I remember True Yang Temple had one; I even took a picture of it when I went True Yang Temple last time!]
[Regardless of whether other Daoist temples have it or not, I just find the young Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple particularly adorable. Looks like I absolutely have to visit Clear Breeze Temple...]
I'm already looking at high-speed rail tickets.
[Oh my god, there's a little girl here? I always thought Daoist priests were men! Good heavens, how could her parents bear to send such a cute little girl to a Daoist temple?]
[This shows that Clear Breeze Temple is indeed a good place; otherwise, why would they be willing to let such a young child go there to practice Clear Breeze Temple while still keeping his hair?]
City A, where Clear Breeze Temple is located, isn't exactly a famous tourist city, but it's quite livable. It has four distinct seasons, each with its own unique attractions. For example, you can come to pick tea in spring, admire lotus blossoms in summer, enjoy maple leaves in autumn, and appreciate snow in winter... Although it doesn't have any nationally renowned attractions, it's still quite a fun place to visit.
Previously, many tourists from other places wouldn't specifically include City A on their travel itinerary. Now, with the Clear Breeze Temple, more and more people are becoming aware of City A. As a result, residents near City A, or tourists who weren't originally planning to visit City A City A were traveling around the area, are starting to consider City A when they have more time.
At this time, Yun Zhaozhao was unaware of what it meant for Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple be involved with tourism in City A. Her mind was currently focused on how to take care of the babies.
Although Clear Breeze Temple had previously hosted a group of young students on study tours, they only stayed for two days and one night before returning home. This time is different; this group of children will be staying at Clear Breeze Temple long-term, so there are many more issues to consider.
Putting aside other aspects, just considering clothing, food, housing, and transportation, every aspect needs to be taken into account. After all, Yun Zhaozhao never expected that Clear Breeze Temple would receive such a group of young newcomers, so the Daoist robes made in advance were all custom-made according to adult sizes. Now that children have arrived, the Daoist robes definitely need to be remade.
Fortunately, the food at Clear Breeze Temple is suitable for all ages, including children, so there's no need to prepare special meals for them.
As for housing and transportation... the housing issue can only be left as it is for now. If we want to improve our living environment, we'll have to wait until the new building is completed before we can consider it. As for transportation, Yun Zhaozhao thought, "I really need to buy a minivan, and even a 7-seater won't be enough. I'll have to buy a 10-seater extended version."
In fact, compared to basic necessities like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, the education of these children is of paramount importance.
Daoist Jingyang meant that Yun Zhaozhao could establish a school within the Daoist temple to specifically teach these children Daoist culture. He reasoned that only children he personally taught from childhood would truly belong to Clear Breeze Temple; otherwise, they would always be separated from Clear Breeze Temple by a certain distance.
Yun Zhaozhao wanted to teach herself, but she felt that it would be too difficult for Clear Breeze Temple. Moreover, schools require operating licenses, and Yun Zhaozhao thought that with Clear Breeze Temple's current scale, it would probably be difficult to obtain such a license in the short term. Even if it were possible, teachers would still be needed to help with the teaching.
When Daoist Qingxin heard that a group of young Daoist priests had arrived at Yun Zhaozhao's Daoist temple, he came over to join in the fun. While enjoying the spectacle, he also offered Yun Zhaozhao a good suggestion. "During the normal compulsory education stage, you could consider cooperating with the school down the mountain! Since it's a village primary school, the management shouldn't be too strict. Besides, you have a cooperative relationship, so I believe the villagers won't have any objections. As for martial arts, Daoist studies, and other meditation and chanting education, you can schedule them in the evenings or on weekends, organized and arranged by the Daoist priests of your Clear Breeze Temple. You could even concentrate them during winter and summer vacations."
Yun Zhaozhao's eyes lit up. "That's indeed a good idea. I'll discuss it with Teacher Liu later and then we'll work out the details."

Previously, when the children came to Clear Breeze Temple study tours, Lin Banxia was in charge of taking care of them. Now that these 10 little ones have come, Lin Banxia definitely can't take care of them all by herself. After all, Lin Banxia has so many other things to do, and she also has to take care of that sick little cat.
So Yun Zhaozhao entrusted the task of taking care of these 10 children to Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao's team. Compared to Lin Banxia working alone, Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao's team was currently the largest team in Clear Breeze Temple, second only to Grandpa Lin's elderly group. Six adults dealing with 10 children—the ratio should be just right... right?
As it turned out, having experience and not having experience in childcare made a huge difference. Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao, being inexperienced, were both a bit overwhelmed taking care of the young Daoist priest. On the other hand, Daoist Yuan and Daoist Zhu, perhaps because they had children of their own, were much more adept at caring for the young priest and even managed to lend a hand to other Daoist priests when they had a spare moment.
