Buddhism and Taoism, the two have been incompatible since ancient times. Especially the Tang Dynasty, a time of religious contradictions.

Taoism has been the orthodox sect of ancient China since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Buddhism was almost not introduced to China from ancient India before the Western Han Dynasty. Since the opening of the Silk Road, ancient China and the countries of the Western Regions have intersected, and Buddhism was gradually introduced to China at that time.

Unfortunately, as a foreign import, at that time, the attitude of the Chinese towards Buddhism was not disdainful at all, and everyone was still keen on Taoism, ruling without doing anything, occasionally refining alchemy, and imagining how to soar in the future.

Moreover, since then, China has had many wars, and there is not even enough to eat, and it is not known whether it can survive, so faith is naturally abandoned.

It can be said that that period was the most difficult time for Buddhism, and in the end, it took root on the road of China with difficulty, and as a result, a certain demon launched the famous extermination campaign, smashed Buddha statues, slaughtered countless monks, and once again almost made Buddhism extinct.

By the Sui and Tang dynasties, Buddhism had finally ushered in the hope of revival. Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, although Li Shimin respected Taoism as the state religion, he also had a good attitude towards Buddhism, and occasionally went to the temple to listen to the old monks preach the scriptures and recite the Buddha. He also personally taught Xuanzang to go to the west to learn scriptures.

It can be seen that Li Shimin also has a love for Buddhism, and the people below naturally watch Li Shimin's direction of the wind, so Buddhism has also become a super sect, second only to Taoism.

So the Taoist was unhappy. Lao Tzu (this Lao Tzu is not his Lao Tzu) is an authentic sect in China, inherited for thousands of years, and is now the state religion...... Ahem, ahem, grabbing turf.... That's not right, that's what it means anyway.

Therefore, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism often broke out into conflicts, and sometimes there were disputes, but the two schools also had their own manners, and no serious bloodshed broke out, but there were often disputes over scriptures and morality.

Even so, the Taoist priest and the monk were very angry when they met, and they almost quarreled on the spot.

Now in the Huichang Temple, where people come and go, an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and walking gracefully suddenly appeared, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.

"The old Taoist priest is very bold, a person dares to come to Buddhism, is he going to make a scene? Still is? "Some people whispered.

Chen Fei also happened to be idle, touching his chin and watching a good show.

The old Taoist priest seems to be not young, and he seems to be sixty or seventy years old in appearance, but his spirit is very good, he has a childish face, and his spirit is strong, and he can see that he is well maintained, and it will definitely be no problem to live for another ten or twenty years.

In this era when the average life expectancy of the population is only forty or fifty years old, it is enough to call it a long life, but I don't know that the old Taoist priest is a lot older, why do you want to come to Buddhism to find it, is it because you have lived for a long time?

I saw the old Taoist priest walk into the temple gate, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, several monks greeted him.

Someone next to him immediately whispered: "Hey, the old Taoist priest won't be kicked out, right?" ”

"I don't know, but why do I think the old Taoist priest is a little familiar, it seems that he has seen it somewhere?"

Chen Fei was stunned, he also seemed to feel that the old Taoist priest was a little familiar, as if he had indeed seen it somewhere.

Yin Ping, who was on the side, reacted first, and shouted in a low voice: "Senior Sun? ”

Grandchild? A Taoist priest surnamed Sun? Good... It sounds familiar! Chen Fei's heart jumped, and he suddenly remembered someone, but he didn't dare to believe that he could meet such a person when he came to the temple early, and his luck was too good, right?

"Amitabha, the Taoist is willing to come to my temple to check the pulse of the host, which really makes our temple shine, and the little monk is the first to thank the Taoist chief!" Several monks walked up to the old Taoist priest and did not disrespect, but folded their hands, recited a Buddha name, and made a big bow to the old Taoist.

The old Taoist chief also returned the Taoist etiquette, and then was led by several monks and walked into the temple. The expected tearing scene did not happen.

And Chen Fei was already convinced of who this old Taoist priest was. surnamed Sun, and he takes the pulse to cure diseases, most of them are the famous old miracle doctors in history - Sun Simiao!

It is rumored that Sun Simiao lived for more than 140 years, which is simply a miracle in this era when the average age is only forty or fifty, and he is worshiped as a god.

Moreover, his medical skills are superb, he has been walking the folk for many years to treat diseases, saving lives and helping countless wounded, and he is the author of the medical book "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", and is respected as the "King of Medicine", even Li Shimin admired him, and recruited him to become an official many times.

"I didn't expect to meet the old doctor today, it's really lucky!" The idol saw another one, and Chen Fei felt very satisfied. Well, if you have the opportunity later, you must go to the old doctor to ask for an autograph, and by the way, ask him for the secret of immortality.

"That's not right, Brother Yin, looking at your expression, it seems that you know Senior Sun?"

Yin Ping nodded, "Well, he is a good friend of my master, I met a few times when I was a child, but I didn't expect that after so many years, Sun's predecessors are still the same as before, and they are full of vigor and blood, which is admirable." ”

"Of course, he can live for at least forty years......" As soon as Chen Fei said this, he sensed that something was wrong, and quickly stopped.

"How do you know that Senior Sun will live for more than forty years?" Yin Pinghu doubted.

"Ahem, counted." Chen Fei pretended to be a magic stick, but in exchange for a disdainful look from Yin Ping.

"Hey, I saw the green willows, Linchuan should be here, go! Let's go and take a look. Green Willow appeared, just giving Chen Fei a reason to open the topic, and walked forward with Yin Ping.

"Miss Green Willow, where's Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Chen Fei suddenly appeared, with a kind smile, but because he scared the green willow, he almost received a slap.

"Scared... Scared the hell out of me! My lord, can you say hello in advance the next time you appear, don't rush out from behind all at once, it will scare people to death! Lu Liu covered his little heart, staring at Chen Fei with big eyes, and looked unhappy.

Chen Fei smiled, but his eyes kept wandering, looking for something.

"Your Excellency, don't look at it, Her Royal Highness the Princess is already waiting for you in the meditation room." Lu Liu snorted, walked in front to lead Chen Fei, and came to a small courtyard in the backyard of Huichang Temple, where there was a small meditation room, which should be the penance of a certain monk.

Chen Fei recognized this courtyard at once, wasn't this the place where he came to his tryst with Linchuan last time? Linchuan chose this place again for a tryst, and the intention is self-evident.

"The chick is quite attentive." Chen Fei smirked.

"My lord, Her Royal Highness the princess is inside." Liu Lu gave a salute, then stood aside and motioned for Chen Fei to enter.

Chen Fei smiled apologetically at Yin Ping, motioned for him to wait for him outside, and then stepped forward, pushed the door and walked in..........
