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

"Fang La, the sea merchant, turned out to be Fang La, the Manichaean saint!"

This news exploded like thunder among the wealthy businessmen in Shanghai City. Everyone looked at Fang La in disbelief as he was escorted in with an arrogant expression.

Fang La is a legendary figure in Shanghai. He sold his property but could only buy a small seagoing ship. However, he successfully turned around with this seagoing ship and became a legend in Shanghai.

"Your Majesty the Transfer Envoy, the Manichaean Saint Fangla has been brought here, and all the Manichaean remnants who lurked into the Peace Hotel have been killed!" Liu Daoquan, who was in charge of the arrest, said excitedly.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

When Fang La heard this, his eyes burst into tears. He did not expect that his carefully planned assassination operation would be discovered in advance. Even if he was arrested, he would implicate a group of Manichaean believers.

"Brother Fang, long time no see!"

Suddenly a familiar voice sounded, and Fang Laru was struck by lightning.

All the maritime merchants couldn't help but look at Fang La and the evil doctor Fan Zheng in surprise. The two people, who were not destined to be enemies, actually knew each other.

"I heard that Fang La once received guidance from a noble person before he became successful. Could it be that that noble person..."

A well-informed merchant suddenly thought of a rumor and whispered.

The faces of other maritime merchants also changed. No one expected such a tortuous process.

"It's you! Brother Fan!"

Fang La suddenly raised his head and looked at the young figure sitting in front of him in disbelief.

Brother Fan Jin, who once advised him, claimed that he had failed the imperial examinations many times and had no talent for governing the country, but he had no way out. He turned out to be the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"Brother Fang, you shouldn't come back again! Brother Fang is now rich and well-known in maritime business. All his family members have moved overseas, so why come back?" Fan Zheng said quietly.

"No wonder! No wonder! Hahaha!" Fang La suddenly figured out a lot of doubts. When he met him at the Peace Hotel, Fan Jin was so elegant. How could such a person be unknown.

He also thought that he would restore the glory of Manichaeism in the future and join forces to fight against the Song Dynasty, so he invited Fan Jin to be his military advisor. In the future, they would overthrow the decadent Song Dynasty court together and make Fan Jin his prime minister to repay his kindness. Well, but who would have thought that the clown was actually himself.

"You actually knew that I, Fang La, was a Manichaean. Why didn't you kill Fang directly? Instead, you showed Fang La how to make money." Fang La looked embarrassed and asked angrily.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "One of the reasons why Fan came to Zhejiang is Manichaeism. Naturally, he has done some research on Manichaeism and naturally knows that Fang Lanai from Qingxi County is one of the leaders of Manichaeism. First, Brother Fang has changed his ways and sold his family's income to make a living abroad. Naturally, Fan is happy to see this happen, and this is what he saw back then!"

A group of maritime merchants listened to the conversation between Fan Zheng and Fang La, and couldn't help but look at Fang La with pity. Manichae was targeted by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and naturally he was badly beaten from head to toe. Fang La's little tricks couldn't be hidden from him at all.

"As for killing people, although Fan is targeting Manichaeism, these are the people of the Song Dynasty. I have never killed Manichaeism believers. Instead, it allowed Manichaeism believers to escape poverty and become rich, and allowed Manichaeism fanatics to follow Brother Fang and leave. Manichaeism, on the contrary, Brother Fang tried his best to induce Manichaeism to cause chaos and assassinate Fan!" Fan Zheng looked at Fang Ladao.

Fang La couldn't help but feel guilty. Just as Fan Zheng said, the imperial court adopted the method of boiling frogs in warm water against Manichaeism and cut off Manichaeism believers step by step. Although Manichaeism suffered a disaster, but in Manichaeism, During the destruction, no one really died.

"The transshipment envoy is a member of the medical family. He saves lives and heals the wounded and saves the world. We really admire him!" A group of maritime merchants hurriedly boasted.

Fang La's veins popped out when he heard this and he glared at Fan Zhengdao: "Just because the teachings of Manichaeism are inconsistent with the medical ideas, the doctors suppressed them. What's the truth?"

Fang La's heart was full of hatred. Manichaeism was originally developing well, but it ended up being completely destroyed because it was inconsistent with the medical philosophy.

Fan Zheng looked at Fang La and shook his head: "With or without Fan, Manichaeism will eventually suffer this calamity. Not to mention that Manichaeism uses religious talismans to harm people and makes people eat vegetarian food and cause various diseases. Manichaeism is The teachings of foreign religions are too radical and are not in line with our Chinese culture. Even the now-famous Buddhist school had to go through three exterminations of Buddhism before it found its way back, let alone Manichaeism.”

"Buddhism!"

Fang La was very angry when he heard this. Buddhism was also responsible for Manichaeism's current miserable end. The court's suppression could only make Manichaeism dormant temporarily, but Buddhism's dominance of the magpie's nest caused Manichaeism to lose its foundation. .

However, Fang La was a very smart man. He instantly understood Fan Zheng’s instructions. Manichaeism completely copied the teachings from the Far West country and did not integrate into the culture of the Song Dynasty at all. The Buddhists had to exterminate the Buddha three times before he realized that, Manichaeism was not unjustly defeated.

At the same time, Fang La couldn't help but sigh that he had indeed not misjudged the situation back then. The once down-and-out scholar did indeed have the talent to govern the country. If he could get his help, Manichaeism would definitely be able to grow in strength.

Of course, he was mistaken in the end. Who would have thought that a failed scholar would turn out to be the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng, who had long been famous in the Song Dynasty. A little bit of news would be enough to make him a lot of money.

"Secondly, I would like to have a heart-to-heart talk with Brother Fang. Although religion is rampant in the Song Dynasty and there are many believers, in fact, the vast majority of the people in the Song Dynasty do not believe in God." Fan Zhengyu said in surprise.

"The people of the Song Dynasty don't believe in God, how is that possible?"

"The Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou has become a Buddhist resort just because of one of Li's operas, attracting countless believers to burn incense and worship Buddha!"

"That's right! Even when I go to sea, I will kneel down and worship the Dragon King and Mazu to pray for safety when I go to sea?"

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

All the maritime merchants were talking about it, and they couldn't help but question Fan Zheng's words, including Fang La. He had personally spread Manichaeism, so he naturally knew how pious those believers were.

Fan Zheng looked around and said: "That's because people in the Song Dynasty worshiped gods and religions for utilitarian purposes. Burning incense and worshiping Buddha were mostly for the purpose of seeking wealth, seeking children, and bless peace and good health. We can also worship gods when we see them. Anyway, it's better to worship more. No harm done.”

Fan Zheng's words directly hit everyone's heart, making all the maritime merchants look embarrassed.

As Fan Zheng said, kneeling down and worshiping Guanyin is to ask for a child, praying to Buddha is to bless peace, worshiping the God of Wealth is to make money, even worshiping the Dragon King is to bless smooth sailing. They are indeed utilitarian and not for faith.

Fang La also changed his expression. He had been the same way before. He joined Manichaeism for utilitarianism, for Manichaeism's influence, and for power and status.

However, since the imperial court suppressed Manichaeism, he gradually stepped into the position of Manichaeism, and then gradually lost his original intention.

"However, gods and Buddhas are so high above that it is impossible for them to respond to mortals. Our faith is destined to be unresponsive, and naturally we cannot be called believers. Of course, the same is true for Manichaeism, not to mention that Manichaeism is from the far west. God, how can he protect you when he is far away in the West?" Fan Zheng said again.

"Impossible, our faith Mani must be able to sense it!" Fang La insisted through gritted teeth.

"Of course it cannot be said that the people of the Song Dynasty have no faith. What we believe in is our ancestors and sages. Only when we kneel down to worship our ancestors is our heart the purest." Fan Zheng said again.
