Reviving Taoism: From the Start, I Drive Corpses and Run Into a Movie Crew Filming a Ghost Movie

In a world where Buddhism flourishes and Taoism has fallen into decline, Jiang Chen stands head and shoulders above his generation at Maoshan. He is held in high hopes and widely recognized as the next leader of the sect.

Having cultivated in the mountains since childhood, Jiang Chen's master fears he knows nothing of worldly affairs, so he sends him down the mountain to gain experience, starting as the abbot of a declining Taoist temple.

On the way to the little temple, escorting a corpse, he comes across a film crew.

Late at night, in the middle of nowhere.

A ghost-hunting exorcist movie is about to start filming, but the extra playing the exorcist still hasn't arrived.

The director flies into a rage and gives the production staff an urgent order to find him!

In a panic, one of the crew happens upon Jiang Chen passing by with a corpse. And so Jiang Chen is brought to the set.

Having no idea what filming is, the first thing Jiang Chen says when he walks in is:

"This place is teeming with Yin energy. None of you should stay here long!"

The whole crew freezes for a moment, then bursts into thunderous applause.

"Great acting!"

After that night, the crew becomes the first group of worshippers to visit Jiang Chen after he takes over the declining Taoist temple!

From then on, the temple flourishes! Taoism flourishes!
