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

Chapter 473: Destroy Buddha?

Hangzhou's cultural industry is extremely prosperous. The arrival of Li Qingzhao brought opera dramas. Not only was she the most talented woman in the world, but she was also the wife of the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang Roads, which further promoted Hangzhou's cultural prosperity.

When the news of Li Qingzhao's new drama "The Legend of the White Snake" spread, it even set off the literary world in Hangzhou. Everyone knows that Li Qingzhao's operas are classics that are praised all over the world, and this time "The Legend of the White Snake" must also be the same. No exception.

Louwailou Grand Theater was a theater specially built for opera after Li Qingzhao came to Liangzhe Road. It has just been completed. As the first performance place of the new drama "The Legend of White Snake", it has attracted countless inexplicable people. citizens.

"The poor monk Foyin has met Master Fan and the Li family!"

Outside the building, the eminent monk Foyin actually came as promised.

"Foyin has really come." The people nearby were in an uproar. They did not expect that the monk Foyin not only drank wine and ate meat, but also sang poems against Su Shi, and even came to the theater to listen to music.

"Master Foyin is so charming! Fan is so polite." Fan Zheng looked at Foyin with a flash of light in his eyes. In the original history, Foyin should have passed away at this moment, but he didn't expect that he was still alive. It can be seen that the rise of doctors has changed shortened the lives of many people.

Foyin looked at the young Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao, and couldn't help but sigh: "Back then, I had a close relationship with Brother Su, and was admired by Brother Su's talent. But I didn't expect that a talented couple would be better than a good man, and there would be a virtuous couple in the Song Dynasty. A rising star in the literary world.”

Foyin was able to become a close friend with the early Su Shi, which shows that Foyin himself has extraordinary literary talents. However, what Foyin did not expect was that the young Su Shi was already talented. The two in front of him were not only younger, but also had surpassing achievements in poetry. Su Shi in his youth.

"Master, thank you!" Fan Zheng said modestly.

"The world is blessed with both Dharma and I live up to the Tathagata and live up to you! What's even more rare is that Mr. Fan still has a Zen heart, and I heard that the Li family's opera "The Legend of the White Snake" also involves Buddhism. I can't wait to see it." Buddha. Yin Lang said.

"Master Foyin please!"

Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao looked at each other, hoping that Foyin would still be in such a good mood after watching "The Legend of White Snake"!

At this moment, under the leadership of Bao Kang, several people came to a box with the best location.

"The West Lake is beautiful in March, and the spring rain is like wine and willows are like smoke! 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 a pleasant voice sounded, Bai Suzhen, played by Li Shishi, came out and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"The people are beautiful! The scenery is beautiful! The music is beautiful and the words are beautiful too!"

As soon as this song came out, countless people in Hangzhou suddenly felt like they were experiencing sweet rain, spring rain was like wine, and willows were like smoke! These two sentences can be said to fully express the beauty of West Lake in March.

And they believe that once this play is released, the reputation of Hangzhou West Lake will be further improved and its fame will be spread all over the world.

"We are destined to come thousands of miles to meet each other! But if we are not destined to meet each other, it is difficult to hold hands with each other!"

Foyin's eyes lit up, and Buddhism pays more attention to fate. These two sentences can explain the mystery of fate, and now he is even more looking forward to the next opera.

"Ten years of cultivation can make us cross the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can make us sleep on the same pillow. If there is good fortune in a thousand years, we will be together in front of our eyes."

As soon as this sentence came out, Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao couldn't help but look at each other. They felt that their talents were a perfect fit for this song. It was their fate to be able to sleep together and share the same heart for a thousand years.

As soon as "The Legend of White Snake" appeared on the stage, it amazed everyone with its beautiful music and lyrics, and the audience couldn't help but cheer.

Then the story unfolded, and the novel setting of the love between man and snake immediately made people amazed, especially "The Legend of White Snake" quoted a lot of local attractions in Hangzhou.

Borrowing an umbrella when visiting the lake, breaking the bridge! The West Lake scenic spots were originally familiar to scholars in Hangzhou, but now they have been cast a legendary color by "The Legend of White Snake", which is even more refreshing.

It is conceivable that once this opera spreads, the West Lake and Broken Bridge in Hangzhou will become places where people all over the world will rush to visit.

"Free love!"

Foyin looked at the beautiful love between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen on the stage, and then looked at Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao. It was obvious that the concept of love in this opera was similar to the two.

However, just as Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao had made a private lifelong commitment, such love would eventually be tolerated by the world. Sure enough, the appearance of Fahai, the eminent monk of Jinshan Temple, forced Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen to separate.

"The eminent monk Fahai!"

At this moment, many scholars couldn't help but cast their eyes on the eminent monk Foyin standing aside. The evil doctor Fan Zheng publicly performed "The Legend of the White Snake" and actively invited the eminent Buddhist monk Foyin to watch. I'm afraid it has a profound meaning!

Foyin raised his eyebrows, but did not move. He continued to watch.

"The water overflowed the Jinshan Mountain and the Leifeng Pagoda collapsed."

As lovers Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen finally get married, they complete their thousand-year fate! All the audience couldn't help but cheer.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"This sentence has beautiful music, beautiful words, beautiful scenery, and even more beautiful feelings!"

"Once "The Legend of White Snake" is released, it will be spread throughout the ages!"

Many scholars still had unfinished ideas, and Bao Kang in the box also nodded slightly. This play is quite novel. The love between a human and a demon has been destined for thousands of years, and Buddhism has blocked it. In the future, it will be like the "Chen Shimei" that the ancestor Bao Zheng passed down through the ages. Everyone Praise.

"That stinking monk Fahai is so abominable that he actually obstructed such a beautiful love!"

"What do those monks know about love!"

………………

While the audience exclaimed that it was wonderful, they couldn't help but angrily accused Fahai of meddling in his own business.

All kinds of sounds naturally reached the ears of Foyin in the box, but Foyin's expression remained calm. "Congratulations to Mr. Li, this song is extremely wonderful, profound and meaningful, and will surely be passed down through the ages!" Foyin praised loudly.

Li Qingzhao nodded and said: "The eminent monk Foyin has given me the award."

"After watching this play, I was very moved and couldn't help but miss my time at Jinshan Temple." Foyin said, but his eyes were fixed on Fan Zheng.

Li Qingzhao blinked and said innocently: "Oh! Such a coincidence?"

The entire box fell silent again.

After a long time, Foyin was the first to lose his composure and said directly: "It's not enough for Fan Zhuanshi to destroy Manichaeism. Do we want to destroy Buddha?"

This is not because the Buddha's seal cultivation is not enough, but because Fan Zheng's move to destroy Manichaeism directly shocked the entire religion.
Now, as soon as "The Legend of the White Snake" came out, Fa Hai stubbornly blocked the love between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, which immediately made people disgusted with the Buddhist precepts prohibiting love between men and women. This can be seen from the reaction on the scene alone.

However, what makes Foyin even more uneasy is that Fan Zheng's move to destroy Manichaeism was also the first to attack Manichaeism's reputation, causing Manichaeism to lose the support of the people, and then gradually disintegrated Manichaeism. .

Moreover, Buddhism has experienced several disasters that destroyed the Buddha, and it has long been wary of the court's direction, and Fan Zheng's actions have only deepened his suspicion.

Fan Zheng said in surprise: "Why did Master Foyin say this? How could Fan destroy the Buddha?"

Foyin snorted coldly: "Master Fan, why do you say this? Although you are the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and your poems are famous all over the world, what you are most proud of is your medical skills. In the eyes of doctors, all religions are deceptive. Including me Buddhism!”

When Fan Zheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Today's doctors' medical skills can explore the origin of a baby's life to its final death. Death is like a lamp going out. This is what doctors finally came to the conclusion after witnessing countless lives and deaths. There is no such thing as reincarnation, there is no such thing as reincarnation. There is no God of Light, and there is no Western Paradise. The so-called religion is just the imagination of the world’s people who yearn for immortality and fear death.”

"The donor's medical skills are excellent, but the donor has not experienced death, how can we confirm it!" Foyin said in a Zen sign.

Fan Zheng took a deep look at Foyin and said: "Although death is like a lamp going out, people in the world are not as rational as doctors. Even doctors themselves cannot face death calmly. The existence of religion is not meaningless. It is also a Medicine, a medicine that can alleviate the fear of death.”

Foyin breathed a heavy sigh of relief at this moment and said: "So, Lord Fan does not want to destroy the Buddha?"

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Fan will not destroy the Buddha. It does not mean that the Buddhists have no fault!"

"Oh? Please give me some advice, Mr. Fan!" Foyin raised his brows and said in disbelief.

"Buddhism has a prohibition on killing, and believers are not allowed to kill, and they advocate vegetarianism. However, according to medical research, human beings have been eating hair and drinking blood for a long time. The body needs various substances. A lack of meat will cause weakness and night blindness. A lack of vegetables will cause septicemia and friction. Manichaeism is such an extreme teaching that goes against physiology. If it hadn't been for the sharp increase in night blindness in the two Zhejiang areas, it would not have attracted the attention of the official. For the sake of the health of the people of the Song Dynasty, Manichaeism had to be eradicated. "Fan Zheng said loudly.

Foyin couldn't help but sweat. Fortunately, the teachings of Buddhism are relatively mild and do not force believers to be vegetarians. They only require them not to kill.

Fan Zheng continued: "As well as the provisions of Buddhist lust and caution, the love between men and women is a family relationship, and it is the foundation of human reproduction. If everyone in the world believes in Buddhism and does not break the lust warning, then human reproduction will surely stagnate or even regress. This This is something that doctors cannot tolerate.”

Foyin still wanted to argue, but Fan Zheng interrupted directly:

"There is no skin left, no hair attached. Buddhism is just a product of human beings overcoming the fear of death, but Buddhism wants to control people's lives. This is the real reason why Buddhism has exterminated Buddha three times and been suppressed by all dynasties! Even if Fan does not destroy the Buddha, today’s Buddhism is probably not far away from destroying the Buddha next time.”

When Foyin heard this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and his heart trembled.

He understands that Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao are one and the same. The release of "The Legend of White Snake" may not be without the intention of attacking Buddhism. After all, it is not Taoism that suppresses Bai Suzhen, but Fa Hai.

Foyin said firmly: "Whether it is the destruction of the Buddha or the suppression of the past dynasties, it is a test for Buddhism before we can truly worship the Buddha."

When Fan Zheng saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Fan has a secret recipe that can prevent Buddhism from suffering the disaster of destroying the Buddha."

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Fan. Buddhism will definitely remember the kindness of doctors!" Foyin said without hesitation.

Both of them are smart people, and they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Fan Zheng solemnly said: "Buddhism has been destroyed in every dynasty. First, Buddhism controls a large amount of money, land and population. This is not tolerated by the court. If Buddhism wants to survive forever, it must control its own desires. In the future, Buddhist temples will be self-funded and run by themselves." , be self-sufficient, control the quantity and quality of temples, and prefer to have fewer than too many temples, so that the government can trust you!"

Foyin's face twitched, and he finally nodded heavily.

Thinking about how glorious the 480 temples were in the Southern Dynasties, they still ushered in the disaster of destroying Buddhism. No emperor would allow Buddhism to occupy too much money and population, let alone as Fan Zheng said, if everyone If you become a monk, humans will not be able to reproduce, and I am afraid that Buddhism will eventually die out.

"In addition, Buddhism must self-correct and self-examine, and the issuance of loan sharks and private charity halls must be closed." Fan Zheng said again.

"Why is this?" Foyin frowned and said, the income from usury is the main source of income for Buddhism, and some monks who know medical skills in Shantang treat people for free. This is a good deed!
Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Usury loans are unethical and the people cannot afford the huge interest rates. This is Buddhism's move to annex land and take advantage of the opportunity to make money. Besides, the interest rate of the Royal Bank is only one penny. Does Buddhism really want to compete with the imperial court for profits?" What! Besides, does loan sharking that is full of sin really conform to the teachings of Buddhism that lead people to do good?”

As soon as the momentum of the Buddha's Seal weakened, usury was indeed hugely profitable. However, as Fan Zheng said, it was not in line with Buddhist teachings. In addition, the court already had a royal bank. If Buddhism released usury again, it would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the court.

"As for the shantang, it is true that it has treated a group of people, and Fan is not proud of it. Today's shantang's medical skills are very different from those of doctors and hospitals. Seeking medical treatment in the shantang can only delay the disease, let alone the doctors' targeted treatment. The poor are already taken care of accordingly, so it would be better for the Buddhists to put a stop to such attempts to win over people's hearts!" Fan Zhengdao.

"What if the Buddhists don't agree?" Foyin frowned and asked. He knew that the duty of doctors was to treat illnesses and save people, but Shantang also treated illnesses and saved people, so he was very dissatisfied with the doctors' behavior of treating medical practice as their own taboo.

Fan Zheng stared at Foyin and said: "If the Buddhists don't agree, the doctors will declare that Shantang practices medicine without a license and wastes people's lives. If a patient dies due to Shantang's treatment, he can appeal to the government and ask for compensation. Foyin thought Do you want to bet on people’s hearts?”

Foyin's expression changed drastically. If this were the case, Buddhism would face endless troubles and the charity would eventually close down.

"But Fan doesn't want to kill all Buddhists. Now he also has a good idea and wants to form a good relationship with Buddhism!" Fan Zheng changed his words.

"Oh!" Foyin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Fan Zheng suspiciously.

Fan Zheng said loudly: "Now that I have eliminated Manichaeism, and Manichaeism's followers also preach vegetarianism, this move is exactly the same as Buddhist teachings. I can support Buddhism in preaching on the two Zhejiang roads, so that Buddhism can Easily accepting Manichaeists is enough to make Buddhism prosper!”

"Accept Manichaean believers!" Foyin suddenly raised his head. Just as Fan Zheng said, now that Manichaeism has been destroyed, the religious power in the two Zhejiang Roads is completely blank. Manichaeism is similar to Buddhism. If it gets the support of the imperial court, it will be enough. Let Buddhism flourish in Liangzhe Road.
