Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"The imperial court has issued an order that Manichaeism is a cult that deceives people and preaches that eating vegetables is a demon, harms the human body, and violates human ethics and physiology. It has been specifically ordered to ban it, burn its evil books, destroy evil temples, and no one can believe in its religion!"

In front of a huge Mani statue in Qingxi County, Bao Kang said righteously.

"Okay! It should have been banned a long time ago!" The people suddenly felt very happy. They had long been dissatisfied with Manichaeism.

Seeing this, Bao Kang waved his hand and said: "Come here, knock down this demon statue and burn all the evil books!"

"boom!"

Under the joint efforts of government officials and people, the huge Mani statue collapsed.

Then all the collected Manichaean scriptures were put together and lit in public, and the flames suddenly shot into the sky.

"it is good!"

Seeing the statue of Mani collapse and the scriptures being set on fire, all the people burst into cheers.

Qingxi County is the base camp of Manichaeism, and there are many Manichaeists here. If things happened before, such as destroying Manichae statues and burning scriptures, it would definitely arouse excitement and cause huge riots. The drug case is a clear example.

Now the government is distributing Champa rice seeds, which are early-maturing and high-yielding enough to outperform ordinary rice. Now that the autumn harvest has passed, the price of Champa rice seeds this year is not as high as in summer, but more than twice the price still makes the people of Qingxi County rich. A small fortune.

Not to mention being able to diversify one season's harvest, which is enough to improve many families. Coupled with the considerable income from going to work in Shanghai, people's lives have improved visibly. Once they are rich and their lives are better, they will naturally want to eat meat. I still want to be vegetarian every day.

In addition, the government strictly controls potbelly disease, organizes labor to eradicate oncomelania, and even promotes eating meat to treat night blindness. All people who have eaten fish and meat are cured of their illnesses. All the government's actions that are beneficial to the people of Qingxi have made the government's Credit greatly increased.

On the other hand, in order to maintain the doctrine, Manichaeism would rather make the people of Qingxi fall sick and prevent the people of Qingxi from eating meat. In order to maintain the doctrine, Manichaeism arbitrarily poisons poultry and livestock and prevents the people of Qingxi from embarking on the road to prosperity. It has already reached Qingxi. The opposite of the common people, Manichaeism has finally reaped its consequences and has been abandoned by the common people of Qingxi.

"Those who have attained the Dao will get many help, and those who have lost the Dao will have little help. The transshipment envoy's medical skills are indeed very powerful. Nowadays, the government is full of Daoists, while Manichaeism is the unfaithful and is destined to be abandoned." Bao Kang looked at it. The excited people of Qingxi couldn't help but think deeply. The people of the Song Dynasty were indeed pragmatic in their beliefs and only believed in what was beneficial to them. Now that believing in Manichaeism is not good for them, they naturally do not want to believe in Manichaeism.

"The body, hair and skin are affected by parents, and we dare not do any damage. Long-term vegetarianism will damage our health, causing night blindness, malnutrition, hair loss, tooth loss, physical weakness and other sequelae. Manichaeism's move is against heaven. , You really deserve it!” In addition to forceful measures such as destroying Manichaean statues and burning scriptures, Bao Kang also used the medical skills of doctors and Confucian ethics to fight against the heresy of Manichaeism, which further tarnished the reputation of Manichaeism.

"What your lord said is true!"

Many scholars responded one after another.

For scholars, Manichaeism is a heresy. Now that the government bans Manichaeism, it is equivalent to removing a major obstacle in the countryside and greatly strengthening the voice of talented students. Naturally, it is very popular among scholars.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Looking at the collapsed Mani statue in front of her, Fang Baihua said with an embarrassed expression.

Nowadays, the government has banned Manichaeism, and the people of Qingxi are gnashing their teeth at it. Manichaeism has become a rat on the street, and everyone wants to beat it.

Fang La looked embarrassed and said: "We were careless. Everything about the transshipment put you under your direct jurisdiction, the treatment of night blindness, the distribution of rice seeds in Champa, going to Shanghai to work, and even the pig farm of His Highness King Shen were all targeted at me, Mani." Come to teach.”

"The government has long targeted me as a Manichaean!" Fang Baihua and other Manichaean believers couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"What's more, the reason why the evil doctor Fan Zheng came to Liangzhe Road is probably because of my Manichaeism!" Fang La made another shocking guess.

"What? The evil doctor Fan Zheng came to Liangzhe Road just to deal with me, Manichae!"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Fang La in disbelief.

Since Fan Zheng served as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Fan Zheng's deeds have long been circulated on the roads between Zhejiang and Zhejiang. They naturally know Fan Zheng's legendary experience.

"If the evil doctor Fan Zheng can personally deal with it, my Manichaean sect will not be defeated unjustly!" Fang La said through gritted teeth. Who would have thought that Manichaeism would be targeted by such a person.

When he looked back and saw the evil doctor Fan Zheng's series of actions, the doubts in his heart suddenly became clear. No wonder so many good things happened to Qingxi County.

"Brother, now that Manichaeism has been targeted by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, what should we do?"

"It's better to fight for the government!"

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

A group of Fang clan members said angrily.

They are all ardent believers in Manichaeism, and they are also vested interests in Manichaeism. The government's targeting of Manichaeism has greatly harmed their interests and blasphemed their faith.

Fang La shook his head and said: "No, since the evil doctor Fan Zheng has long been eyeing Manichaeism, he must have been prepared. If we fight against it, we will definitely lose. We must not be impulsive."

Fang La naturally knew that Manichaeism today had lost people's hearts, and they alone had no way to deal with the government.

"Since Manichaeism is banned in Qingxi County, we might as well go to other counties to preach!" A fanatic believer frowned.

Fang La shook his head and said: "You have forgotten that the evil doctor Fan Zheng is the transfer envoy between Liangzhe and Zhejiang. Since he has set his sights on Manichaeism, I am afraid that there will be no place for Manichaeism in the entire Liangzhejiang Road."

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

All the Manichaeans immediately gnashed their teeth.

"Then let's go to Jiangxi East Road! Or even other roads!" Fang Baihua gritted his teeth and said.

Fang La shook his head and said: "No, the evil doctor Fan Zheng is a popular figure around the Dog Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Since the entire Zhejiang Road has begun to ban Manichaeism, I am afraid that other roads will not be able to survive as I am waiting for. And I am waiting for you." If you are in a foreign country where you are not familiar with, it can be said that it is difficult to preach. ”

When Fang Baihua heard this, she was filled with hatred and said, "Is there no place for my Manichaeism to have a foothold in this world?"

Fang La took a deep breath and said: "In this case, there is only one way to go, and that is to break it into pieces and hibernate temporarily to wait for the opportunity."

Fang La looked around his lacquer garden, with a trace of reluctance flashing through his heart. He was not a true fanatical believer in Manichaeism. He took the initiative to join Manichaeism as a means to gain power.

But now that the imperial court is suppressing Manichaeism, he is not willing to give up Manichaeism as a way, but he is also unwilling to give up the lacquer garden industry that he has worked so hard for.

"Break it into pieces!" Fang Baihua said solemnly.

"Even in order not to arouse the suspicion of the court, we must enter the situation with our own bodies and actively eat pork to disguise ourselves." Fang Layi gritted his teeth.

“Take the initiative to eat pork!”

A group of Manichaean believers could not help but be in an uproar. According to the teachings of Manichaeism, eating meat is forbidden, especially eating pork. They had already made an exception to eat fish to cure night blindness. Now, in order to break the suspicion of the court, they actually ate pork on their own initiative. This This is simply blasphemy against Mani.

"There is a saying in Buddhism that if I don't go to hell, who will? Now the imperial court has banned me from Manichaeism, and we have fallen into the evil trick of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Now we can only lie dormant. Only we can continue to worship Manichae." "Ni, even if I am punished by Mani in the future and cannot enter the Paradise of Paradise in the next life, I, Fang La, will have no regrets." Fang La said firmly.
