If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 313 Buddhism and Taoism
At the foot of Fuyun Mountain, Zuo Changshi, accompanied by Xu Bin, looked up at Fuyun Mountain.

He had already seen the three ninjas climbing to the top of the mountain. This made him feel that these ninjas were very efficient at work, but he was also worried about whether they would offend the immortal.

After all, no one knows what an immortal is like or what his temper is.

What if the immortal has a bad temper, or if the immortal doesn't like those Japanese ninjas...

Amitabha!Amitabha!Bodhisattva wishes everything goes well this time!Zuo Changshi made a wish to the Bodhisattva in his heart, and he was so pious that he couldn't help but recite it out loud.

Seeing this, Xu Bin couldn't help but smile and said: "Sir, this is a sacred mountain, and the immortals live on it. Please ask the Bodhisattva to bless you. The two sides can't touch each other, right?"

Although Buddhism has gradually prospered with the support of the imperial court since the Yuan Dynasty, it has gradually surpassed Taoism. However, when Zhu Zhanquan, His Highness Prince Zheng, said that he had been to Penglai due to immortal fate, the Taoist school took advantage of this to make a big fuss and promote the rise of Taoism. .

In order to please the Crown Prince and Prince Zheng, some nobles in the capital naturally tried their best in this regard, which also caused the Taoist temples around Nanjing to flourish a lot.

It's just that the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism cannot be said to be tit-for-tat, at least they are competing with each other.

Before the Sanwu Yi Sect destroyed Buddhism, Buddhism was quite dishonest in China. To some extent, they could not even become their own force like their counterparts in Japan.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty believed in Taoism. Although Emperor Daojun was a faint emperor, it must be said that when he was in power, Taoism was indeed very prosperous.

Later during the Yuan Dynasty, Quanzhen Qiu Chuji went to the desert to meet Genghis Khan. Although it provided guarantee for the continuation of Taoism in the Yuan Dynasty, after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian and Yuan royal courts still respected Buddhism, and it was still Tibetan Buddhism.

As a result, both Taoism and Zen Buddhism suffered a huge blow, while Tibetan Buddhism quickly became popular in the north. Tibetan Buddhism also had a deep influence in the north until later generations.

As for this dynasty... Zhu Chongba was born in Buddhism. Although he borrowed the banner of Mingjiao, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, everyone from Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Di highly praised Buddhism.

Especially Queen Xu, who wrote Buddhist scriptures herself.

So today's Ming Dynasty insists that Buddhism is still strong, while Taoism is somewhat declining.

In this case, novels such as "Journey to the West" and various Ming Dynasty scripts, miscellaneous notes and other books written during this period mentioned Buddhism more, and even placed Buddhism above Taoism. It's not a strange thing.

But now the Taoist sect has finally seized the opportunity and wants to revitalize Taoism through the fact that Zhu Zhanquan is a cultivator of immortality, which means that there will definitely be conflicts between Buddhism and Taoism in the future.

It's just that Xu Bin can analyze such deep things by himself based on the news he brought from listening to the merchants chatting at the port terminal for a long time, but it is not suitable to be put on the table.

Even telling Zuo Changshi this kind of information is useless. If you really want to make use of this information, you need to tell Zhu Zhanchen.

However, Xu Bin, who is now just a dock clerk, obviously has difficulty meeting the prince Zhu Zhanchun. Although it is not impossible for him to go directly to the palace to ask for Zhu Zhanchun, Zhu Zhanchun has not been in the fiefdom before, and he has no chance to see him even if he wants to.

Zuo Changshi, on the other hand, had a great reaction to what he just said. He said to Xu Bin with some excitement: "Why is it useless to pray to Bodhisattva? The Bodhisattvas of Buddhism are more effective than the gods of Taoism. Have you not read Sun Yat-sen's name in "Journey to the West"? When the monkey is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, does the Jade Emperor still have to ask Tathagata Buddha to subdue the monkey?" "This..." Xu Bin was speechless. He couldn't say that "Journey to the West" was a fabricated novel, right?

But at this moment, three people were suddenly thrown down from Fuyun Mountain. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly gathered around. Zuo Changshi and Xu Bin looked at each other, put aside their chat, and quickly stepped forward to see what was going on. .

When the two came closer, they saw clearly that the three ninjas who were thrown down were the three ninjas. However, they were just thrown down and did not suffer any injuries except for being a little frightened.

"Okay, okay, the immortal doesn't look angry." Zuo Changshi saw an expression of relief on his face when he saw that the three ninjas were not injured.

He is not usually a moody person, but today's matter really involved too much for him. In addition, caring can lead to chaos, which also makes Zuo Changshi somewhat lose his usual sense of proportion. .

At least on weekdays, he would not say what he just said to Xu Bin.

Xu Bin could see that Zuo Changshi was a little shaken tonight, but he remained calm about it and just kept it in his heart.

Immediately, Xu Bin wanted to question these ninjas to find out what happened on the fairy mountain.

However, before he could speak, a layer of light bloomed from Fuyun Mountain, which then continued to shrink, and finally turned into a piece of jade and fell into the hands of a figure.

Seeing the silhouette of the sacred mountain in the sky, everyone present, starting from Zuo Changshi, knelt on the ground involuntarily, looking at the three figures floating in the sky with fanatical expressions.

There is no doubt that they regarded the three Zhu Zhanjun who appeared as gods.

But when Zhu Zhanchun and others landed on the ground, Zuo Changshi immediately recognized Zhu Zhanchun's identity, and immediately hit his head on the ground: "See the prince!"

"You are quick to see the opportunity, but it's a pity that it is useless to ask for the blessing of Bodhisattva. Those guys in Buddhism who install pillars in the wall can't control me." Zhu Zhanquan patted Zuo Changshi on the shoulder, although he did not express any concern for him. No matter what I blame, I don't like the way he praises Buddhism.

Then, Zhu Zhanjuan glanced at Xu Bin who was kneeling next to Zuo Changshi, and smiled at him: "Mr. Xu, it's been a long time since I last saw you. I wonder how you have been lately? Is that Miss Sun still thinking about my elder brother? ?”

"Returning to the prince, I am now working as a steward at the port in Fugang. I have no worries about food and clothing and live a comfortable life. Ruowei has adapted to the life here and has no thoughts about His Highness the Grand Sun!" Xu Bin answered quickly. He didn't dare to neglect Zhu Zhanjun's questions at all.

Originally, Zhu Zhanchun gave him the impression that he was unfathomable and untouchable, but now he showed such magical methods, which made Xu Bin even more awe-inspiring towards Zhu Zhanchun.

As for Sun Ruowei... even if she doesn't adapt to the life here in Fugang and still wants to go back to Ming Dynasty to meet Zhu Zhanji, Xu Bin will never let her still have such thoughts.

Because just like Song Taizong killed Li Yu, thinking about some things is the biggest sin.

Zhu Zhanjun didn't care much about this and didn't care too much. He just asked Xu Bin: "Where is the interpreter who helped hire the ninja? The princess has something to ask him."
