"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.
