Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

"As expected of the evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

Although Foyin is an eminent Buddhist monk, he does not practice asceticism behind closed doors. He is quite well-informed about information from the outside world, and naturally he has heard about the power of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

This time, the evil doctor Fan Zheng proposed that the Buddhists join the game and completely take over the followers of Manichaeism. This would certainly lead to a counterattack by Manichaeism, but for the Buddhists, it was impossible to refuse.

After all, there is such a huge religious blank, and the similar doctrines of Manichaeism and Buddhism are simply a great success for Buddhism.

Not to mention that even if the Buddhists don't take action, with the evil doctor Fan Zheng's methods, Manichaeism will have no room for improvement. On the one hand, it can easily lead to the great prosperity of Buddhism, and on the other hand, it can show favor to the court. Such a thing, even if it is a profound Buddhist practice. Foyin couldn't help but feel excited.

"The Legend of White Snake"

Seeing the opera that had come to an end, Foyin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The Legend of White Snake" is extremely splendid. I believe it will be spread throughout the Song Dynasty in the future, especially in Hangzhou, where it originated. It will be known to all women and children. The Buddhists in it are the villains, especially the practice of cutting off love and love is destined to be criticized by the world.

The evil doctor Fan Zheng did have a good trick. On the one hand, he supported Buddhism in occupying the territory and followers of Manichaeism. On the other hand, he put shackles on Buddhism, preventing the fortune of Buddhism in the two Zhejiang areas from reaching its peak.

As Foyin and Fan Zheng reached a consensus, Foyin immediately hurried away. After all, the two Zhejiang Roads were such a huge territory that the Buddhists needed to mobilize a lot of power to preach.

........................

"The Legend of White Snake" is a big hit!
The poetry of the Song Dynasty was popular and the culture was prosperous. Especially after Li Qingzhao created the opera, the citizen culture of the Song Dynasty reached its peak.

While the previous operas only adapted familiar historical allusions, this time the Legend of the White Snake is based on folklore about the love between man and snake. It can be said that it has greatly impacted the world's senses and reached unprecedented heights.

"We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, but if we are not destined to meet each other, it is difficult to hold hands!......"

As the Legend of White Snake spreads widely, people in Hangzhou can even hum a few tunes by themselves.

As Fan Zheng expected, poems, lyrics, and songs could only be unique to educated people, but once the opera was performed, almost everyone could participate.

"As soon as the news of White Snake came out, no one would question Li Qu!"

Looking at the crowds of tourists beside the Broken Bridge in West Lake, a group of Hangzhou scholars sighed.

Who would have thought that the literary style of the Song Dynasty was at its peak, but they were overpowered by a woman.

Although Su Shi and other talented people were talented, they were still limited to the poetry of their predecessors. Li Qingzhao not only had exquisite poetry, but also made great progress and created opera.

Even the world-famous Bachelor of Su University would not be able to say that he was a sure winner when faced with Li Qingzhao, who was full of firepower and established a sect. The younger generation could only look up to Li Qingzhao.

"You guys, have you ever noticed that there seem to be more monks in Hangzhou?" A scholar said, looking at a monk passing by in a hurry.

"It's indeed a lot more!"

"Hmph! The monk destroys love and love, which is against family ethics!"

Many people pointed at the monks coming and going.

"However, although the monk is said to be the best at killing love, his magic seems to be extraordinary. If it is really effective, asking for some peace charms can keep you safe!"

Some people are also quite curious about Buddhism. After all, in "The Legend of White Snake", although Buddhism is the villain, he still has some real abilities.

For a time, Buddhism was praised and criticized in the Hangzhou government.

"Master Foyin! Do we really want to agree to the doctor's conditions?"

In Leifeng Pagoda, a monk said tangledly.

Buddhism originally valued reputation the most, but as soon as "The Legend of the White Snake" came out, Buddhists received mixed reviews. In particular, the regulations on lust and caution made Buddhism controversial.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, form is emptiness, emptiness is form... People in the world are greedy for lust, we monks can just stick to the precepts, and there is no need to look at other people's eyes." Foyin recited a Buddhist saying, his expression was unwavering.

"As for the conditions of the doctors, for us, it is the best opportunity to promote Buddhism on the Liangzhe Road. Naturally, we cannot miss it. Only by giving up some trivial matters can we devote ourselves to the Buddha!"

"But!" The Leifeng Pagoda monk frowned, feeling reluctant to give up. You must know that loan sharks are a huge amount of income for the Buddhist family. Anyone who gives up like this will feel sad.

Foyin snorted coldly: "Not to mention that usury is harmful to nature, especially to my Buddhist teachings, but now that the imperial court has opened a royal bank, how can we, the Buddhist sect, compete with the imperial court for profit and harm the imperial court again!"

The monk couldn't help but hesitate. Now that the Buddhist family has exterminated Buddha several times, he has long been taboo against the imperial court. He can only nod helplessly at the moment.

"As for the charity hall, it is the responsibility of the doctors. The Buddhists are only responsible for cultivating the temple, promoting Buddhism, and just focus on the Buddha!" ​​Foyin said again.

"What the master said is true!" The monk nodded helplessly.

"From now on, Buddhism will be closed for cultivation, ignoring secular affairs, and focusing on promoting Buddhism on the two Zhejiang roads!" Foyin said firmly.

"Yes!"

All the monks immediately bowed to accept the order.

Compared with charity halls and loan sharks, the Buddhist monks are most excited about the followers of Manichaeism.

At the moment, a group of monks set off from Leifeng Pagoda and dispersed towards the states and counties where Manichaean believers were located. In particular, Qingxi County, the base camp of Manichaeism, was given special attention.

"These bald donkeys are really bullying others!"

Looking at the Buddhism preaching vigorously in Qingxi County, Fang La and others immediately gritted their teeth with hatred.

Buddhism and the government were in collusion. Under the protection of the government, the county government opened the door to monks who came to preach. The entire Qingxi County simply became the back garden of Buddhism.

In particular, Bao Kang, a bad official, went so far as to flatter the evil doctor Fan Zheng and invited actors from Hangzhou to perform "The Legend of the White Snake" in Qingxi County. Although there are some people who criticize Buddhism for abstaining from sex and love, these people have never been believers in Buddhism or Manichaeism. True believers believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas, and Fahai’s magic that can suppress thousand-year-old snake demons is exactly right. The heart of a Manichean believer.

"Brother, something bad is going on! Many devout believers have converted to Buddhism!" Fang Baihua came in a hurry and said worriedly.

The doctrines and rules of Buddhism and Manichaeism are very similar. In addition, the imperial court vigorously suppressed Manichaeism, calling it a vegetable-eating demon and slandering it as a cult. This made it very convenient for Buddhism to absorb Manichaeism believers.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

Fang La immediately gritted his teeth and said.

He thought he had allowed Manichaeism to lurk and made the evil doctor Fan Zheng lose his guard, but he did not expect that the evil doctor Fan Zheng would come to occupy the magpie's nest again, attracting the great god of Buddhism and taking advantage of Manichaeism. When it was banned, it completely occupied the Manichean home base.

Fang Baihua's expression changed and she said, "Brother said, this is also the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng?"

Fang La snorted: "The Legend of the White Snake became very popular in both Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Buddhists immediately began to preach in Qingxi County, not to mention that the opera "The Legend of the White Snake" was written by Li Qingzhao, who was also the wife of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. There are various signs All point to the evil doctor Fan Zheng.”

"Since the arrival of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, our Manichean sect has been in constant bad luck, and now it is about to be exterminated! This hatred is irreconcilable!" A member of the Fang clan said with a ferocious expression.

Fang La nodded in agreement.

"Since the evil doctor Fan Zheng is targeting Manichaeism in this way, then we will send him to see Mani. I decided to assassinate the evil doctor Fan Zheng!" Fang La said with a trace of madness in his eyes as he looked at the Manichaean believers.

"Assassinate the evil doctor Fan Zheng?"

Everyone was in an uproar. No one thought that Fang La's plan was so crazy. He was the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng, and he was also a high official in the imperial court. If he assassinated the evil doctor Fan Zheng, it would definitely cause an uproar in the future.

"That's right! Manichaeism is the god of light, destined to illuminate the whole world. We all believe in Mani. Now that the evil doctor Fan Zheng is bullying Mani like this, how can we, as believers, turn a blind eye." Fang La said coldly.

"But once it is found out that we were the ones who assassinated the evil doctor Fan Zheng, not only will we lose our lives, but our families will also be implicated!" Fang Baihua frowned.

Although she also believed in Manichaeism, she also knew the consequences of assassinating the evil doctor Fan Zheng. They and the family behind them would be implicated.

"We believe in Mani and are willing to sacrifice ourselves for him. As for our families, now that our Song Dynasty's maritime trade is prosperous, I, your brother, have made a fortune from selling tung oil lacquer recently. Together with the sale of the lacquer garden, it is enough to buy a ship. We will arrange our families on the ship in advance and send them overseas. After we assassinate Mani, we will reunite together and head to the West to worship the holy land of Mani!" Fang La said proudly.

"First go to sea to settle down your family, then assassinate the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and go to the West to worship Mani's holy land."

The hearts of all the Manichaean believers were filled with yearning.

"We are willing to abide by the order of the leader!" A group of Manichaean fanatics accepted the order.

Fang Baihua couldn't help but sigh. They had fallen into the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and Buddhism had encroached on the believers' territory. If they didn't fight back, Manichaeism would definitely destroy the religion!

It's just that the elder brother seems to have forgotten that the voyage to the West is also the evil recipe of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Will it really be smooth sailing for their voyage to the West to worship Mani's Holy Land?

Soon, a rumor spread in Qingxi County that Fang La, the owner of the lacquer garden, made a fortune by selling wood and tung lacquer through transshipment, which enabled him to develop maritime transportation. Now he sold the lacquer garden directly, bought a sea-going ship, and wanted to go to sea to try his luck!
For such news, Qingxi County did not have much reaction other than envy.

After all, thanks to the policy tilt of the transshipment, the economy of the entire Qingxi County has greatly improved. There are many people who stay in their hometown and make a fortune by buying and selling wood and tung lacquer. There are also people who go to Shanghai to work and make money, and some even want to go out on a ship. To make a lot of money.

In the eyes of everyone, Fang La is just one of them, and the two Zhejiang areas are close to the sea, and the city of Shanghai is already small in size, and there are many people who want to go overseas to make a fortune.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Fang La seemed to have really made a fortune by going to sea, and he picked up people from the Fang family one after another. Many people were willing to follow Fang La to go to sea and fight hard, and many of them brought their families with them. .

Fang La's case is just an ordinary case in the two Zhejiang areas. With the continuous development of Shanghai City, more and more wealth myths are happening in Shanghai City.

No one thought that the evil doctor Fan Zheng had such a unique vision. Shanghai City, originally a deserted and overgrown tidal flat, would suddenly become the world's water transportation center and the holy land for business travel through the guidance of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

At the same time, the name of Shanghai Beach was even more famous in the Song Dynasty. Even the Xixia and Liao Kingdoms were very concerned about this city that was built by sea.

On the vast sea, a sea ship faced the wind and waves, heading towards Shanghai Beach.

Fang La stood on the bow of the ship, facing the wind. A year of wandering at sea had made him accustomed to wandering at sea. If it weren't for the execution of the plan to assassinate the evil doctor Fan Zheng, he would really not want to give up the feeling of riding the wind and waves.

"Brother! Shanghai City has arrived!" Fang Baihua, dressed as a sailor, stepped forward and said.

Women were not allowed to board ships at sea, but Fang Baihua was a woman who was not inferior to men. She had an unusual talent for navigation and became the helmsman of the ship in a short time.

In addition, they, the remnants of Manichaeism, needed to transport women and children, so Fang Baihua naturally became the first female helmsman in history.

"Don't take part in this operation. You stay on the ship and are responsible for taking care of us." Fang La warned.

"Brother?" Fang Baihua couldn't help but be shocked. She naturally knew that her eldest brother was worried about her safety and did not want her to participate in such dangerous behavior.

"Once you fail to arrive at the agreed time, don't hesitate and leave immediately by boat. Don't hesitate. From now on, those women and children will be taken care of by you." Fang La said firmly.

Fang Baihua couldn't help but feel sad in her heart and said: "Brother, let's not assassinate the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Now that we are prosperous on the sea and have made hundreds of times as much money as we did in Qingxi County, why not live smoothly, even... We can go directly to the Western Ocean and go to the far west to worship Mani’s holy land.”

Fang Baihua didn't know why her eldest brother insisted on assassinating the evil doctor Fan Zheng. They were living a very good life now. They made a lot of money with the help of Shanghai City and the Maritime Silk Road. All of this was not just because of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Right light.

Fang La shook his head and said: "You don't understand. The evil doctor Fan Zheng destroyed our Manichaeism. This hatred is irreconcilable. If it weren't for the evil doctor Fan Zheng, Mani would definitely appear in the land of China, and we would definitely be able to rely on this merit." He became a god in one fell swoop, but all of this was ruined by the evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

Fang Baihua couldn't help being shocked. She originally thought that her brother believed in Manichaeism in order to increase his power. She didn't expect that after Fang La was revered as the leader of Manichaeism, he would become the most devout believer of Manichaeism and would not hesitate to change. He sold his property, bought a sea ship to settle his family, and went to the West to worship Mani.

"Assassinating the evil doctor Fan Zheng was also Mani's instruction. If the evil doctor Fan Zheng is not dead, we will have no shame to worship Mani, let alone follow Mani to the Western Bliss." Fang La said firmly.

"We are willing to sacrifice ourselves for Mani!" Behind the two of them, a group of Manichaean fanatics stood in the wind and said firmly.

Seeing Shanghai Beach getting closer and closer, Fang La took a deep breath and said: "The evil doctor is dead and Mani appears! Everyone, the time has come for me to devote myself to Mani!"

As the ship docked, Fang La left Fang Baihua behind and led a group of Manichaeans to quietly pour into the crowd. (End of chapter)
