Under Lu Yun's instigation, these big men from the barbarian country were drunk, and coupled with the stimulation of words, they were very angry. They shouted directly, "Someone lead the way, I want to go to the Confucius Temple!"
"Hurry up!"
However, Lu Yun did not say anything at this time. He could not say that, otherwise others would give him something to talk about.
Fortunately, there were other people nearby, so these men went directly to the Confucius Temple and took their own swords and weapons.
After a while, they arrived at the Confucius Temple.
The Confucius Temple at night is very desolate. Although it is illuminated by lanterns, it still looks a little dim.
They took a look and then rushed in.
There are also many scholars in this Confucius Temple. In addition to praying in the Confucius Temple every day, they also often live here to make themselves calm and peaceful.
In this way, they will have more chances of passing the imperial examinations, and by studying in the Confucius Temple, Confucius may even bless them.
Therefore, after they rushed directly into the temple gate, many scholars were awakened.
They all came out of their rooms, glanced at the strong men, and angrily asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"Yeah, what are you doing? Who let you in?"
“Get out!”
"This is the Confucius Temple. How can such vulgar people like you come here?"
"The Confucius Temple is a place that all scholars in the world yearn for. You don't look like scholars at all!"
“…”
For a moment, their voices seemed extremely loud and their expressions were quite sarcastic.
Anyway, he was very unhappy with these men from the barbarian country, thinking that they were a bunch of people who only knew how to use violence and were not scholars.
That’s right... In the eyes of these scholars, they definitely cannot stand such behavior.
But at this moment, one of the big men swung the knife over, and the tip of the knife directly pierced the crossbar.
As a result, all the scholars who had been shouting just now shut up.
They are afraid...
"Shut up!"
"You poor scholars, you stinky scholars, just shut up."
"Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
"Kill all the scholars here."
"See if you guys still dare to talk here?"
This time, they all shut their mouths. These scholars were timid to begin with, and naturally they were scared when faced with this situation.
When had they ever seen such a scene?
At this time, one of the big men walked in and came directly to the middle of the yard. After seeing the statue of Confucius, he laughed out loud.
"So this is the statue from the Confucius Temple. Confucius is really disgusting. Is this the kind of thing you scholars look at?"
"There's a Confucius temple inside the temple, right? Brothers! Smash all of these for me."
As soon as the words fell, these scholars panicked and started shouting.
"Don't smash it, absolutely don't smash it!"
"You can't smash the statue of Confucius."
"Please, this is the Confucius Temple. If you are sacred and dignified, you cannot do such a thing here."
“…”
For a moment, these scholars were extremely panicked, but they did not dare to step forward.
Because they are also afraid of dying, at most they just talk.
Anyway, talking won't hurt them, so they don't care.
"Shut up!"
"I won't repeat what I said a second time. If anyone dares to say it again, I'll chop his mouth off. Let's see if he dares to say it again."
The words "chop off your mouth" were too intimidating for these scholars! They could only shut their mouths, but their eyes were filled with resentment.
Soon, they smashed the statue of Confucius in the yard to pieces, and even knocked off Confucius' head.
As for the other statues in the temple, they were not spared either, and the tablets for offering sacrifices were all chopped into pieces and turned into sawdust.
The entire Confucius Temple turned into a very tragic scene.
After they finished, they looked at each other and laughed, saying, "We smashed this Confucius Temple to pieces."
"Oh, we are happy just seeing this picture."
"Brother, let's just burn this Confucius Temple down. It's useless to keep it around anyway. Let these scholars see how terrible it is."
"OK."
Since they had reconciled with each other and there was nothing else to worry about, they just set fire to the entire Confucius Temple!
But the group of scholars could do nothing, and one of them wanted to rush forward to argue.
As a result, he was punched by these big men and fell to the ground not far away, fainting.
Looking at the sea of fire before them, some scholars had no choice but to kneel down weakly on the ground.
Tears welled up in their eyes, "It's over! It's over!"
"It's really over!"
"The Confucius Temple was destroyed and burned..."
Under their extremely miserable gaze, the Confucius Temple was burned down.
Moreover, they can't do anything now, and can't put out the fire, because these big men from the barbarian countries have not left yet.
However, after setting a fire, these people staggered away.
The scholars in the Confucius Temple also rushed to put out the fire.
But this was like a drop in the bucket! It had no effect at all, and the fire only grew bigger and bigger.
It seems that something is wrong, and they are all very angry!
"Damn barbarians!"
"We must report this matter to the court!"
"The Confucius Temple was vandalized. Who dares not respect Confucius?"
“…”
Although the scholars were very sad and angry, they had no choice but to keep putting out the fire. Fortunately, the fire also woke up many people nearby.
They also ran over to put out the fire.
It took about half an hour before the fire finally subsided.
However, the entire Confucius Temple has become a pile of ruins, and the statues of Confucius have all been smashed to pieces and are unrecognizable.
Seeing the once splendid, majestic and solemn Confucius Temple now reduced to such a miserable state, these scholars were filled with hatred! They were so angry!
During this time, Lu Yun had been observing. Ye Jiajia asked quietly, "Is it really possible?"
"But you're being too cruel. You even destroyed the Confucius Temple."
"This is the spiritual sustenance of these scholars."
Lu Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Who cares? Just smash it."
"Aren't you also a scholar?"
Lu Yun shook his head. "Nonsense, how can I be considered a scholar?"
"I can't stand these people either. They only know how to read Zhihu all day long. They are just corrupt scholars."
