A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 193 Forced Demolition
Although the Confucius Temple is called a temple, it is very different from a temple. It is more like a clan ancestral hall.

Upon entering the door, there is a spacious stone road with dense pines and cypresses on both sides, which makes it feel peaceful even in the scorching sun.

Li Gui glanced around and saw that the place was symmetrical, rigorous in layout, and majestic, and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

There are special people in this Confucius Temple who are responsible for cleaning and offering sacrifices, but because of the previous incident, the people here have already fled after getting wind of it.

Li Gui walked around as a carriage and walked around, thinking that he was traveling. He kept walking and looking at it, and then he arrived in front of Dacheng Hall.

This is the core of the Confucius Temple. The name "Dacheng Hall" was given by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.

Just like in the huge Du Fu Thatched Cottage, only one thatched hut is related to Du Fu, in this Confucius Temple, only the original location of the Dacheng Hall is related to Confucius.

This place was originally the lecture hall of Confucius' former residence, but later it was changed into the main hall of Confucius Temple.

There is an altar in front of the hall, surrounded by apricot trees. The entire front of the hall is spotless except for the curling smoke.

The statue of Saint Kong is located in the Dacheng Hall. Li Guiju walked into the hall and looked up at the tall statue of the saint.

This holy statue is sitting on a high platform, over ten feet tall, wearing twelve crowns on its head, twelve chapters of royal robes, and holding a Zhengui in its hand, just like the ancient emperor's etiquette.

The curtain above was actually made of bright yellow silk with blue dragon patterns embroidered on it.

On the wooden main body in front of the statue, it is written "The position of the most holy master of Dacheng".

There were some supporting statues on both sides of the stage, which Li Gui didn't recognize. He must have been a sage from the Confucian sect.

Li Gui didn't know why, but looking at this statue of Saint Kong, he felt particularly dazzling.

He raised his hand and wrote the word "Demolish" on the wall, and then drew a circle on it. He took a few steps back and looked again, and found that it was much more pleasing to the eye.

Li Gui hooked his fingers, and the personal guards following him came over.

Li Gui pointed his hand towards the statue of Saint Kong, and the bodyguard naturally understood. He waved his hand to call a group of sergeants and ordered:
"Tear down all these statues for me!"

The guards raised their swords and guns one after another, and came up to pry the holy statues.

"useless!"

"I can't make it!"

A wizened old man appeared out of nowhere and ran over here panting.

Looking at his clothes, he was wearing a green shirt. Although it was clean, it had turned white after washing. He was obviously a poor man, but looking at his physique, you knew that he was also a poor scholar.

He hurriedly ran into the hall, stopped in front of the holy statue, bowed to Li Gui, and persuaded:

"If your Majesty wants gold and silver, there will be gold and silver all over the Kong Mansion for you to pick up."

"If your Majesty wants to uphold justice for Heaven, then the direct descendants of the Kong family deserve their punishment and are allowed to be killed by your Majesty."

"If the king feels that the killing is not satisfying enough, there are many descendants of the Kong family. The king can kill him however he wants, even if he kills me first."

"But this saint statue can't speak, it won't do evil, and it won't hinder the king from becoming emperor in the future. Why should the king tear it down?"

"This Confucius Temple has a history of thousands of years. It is not only owned by the Confucius family, but also a treasure shared by scholars all over the world. But it really cannot be demolished!"

This Confucius Temple usually does not allow ordinary people to come in, and this poor man has probably never been here once in the past. But even so, when he saw something happened to the Confucius Temple and everyone else ran away, he actually dared to run over to protect it. It can be seen that he is also a loyal believer in Confucianism.

Li Gui didn't even bother to pay attention to this guy who had firm beliefs and wasn't even afraid of death, let alone reasoned with him.

Li Gui nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense."

As soon as a smile appeared on the old man's face, he saw Li Gui hook his fingers, and he felt his arms being lifted up, his feet leaving the ground, and his whole body quickly moved away from Li Gui's position.

"Hey...hey...let me down, please let me down!"

"The holy statue really cannot be dismantled..."

The old man was taken away far away, still shouting at the top of his lungs, and his voice could still be heard vaguely.

The funny thing is that the old man didn't understand at all. The more he would rather give up his life than let Li Gui demolish the statue of the saint, the more Li Gui must demolish the statue of the saint.

The more people like him there are, the more necessary it is to tear down this image of the saint.The power of idols is too powerful, this image must not be left behind!
Without the interference of the old man, a group of soldiers copied the guy and went up to work.

But strange things happened.

Everyone at the scene was a daring person. They had no mercy when they killed the descendants of the saint before, but now for some reason, when they were stared at by the dignified and solemn eyes of the saint statue, they became a little confused and frightened, and they did not dare to take action.

The thing in the hand was obviously raised high, but when it came down to exert force, it became limp and powerless.

At first everyone thought it was an accident, but after several times, everyone was shocked.

"Brother, this saint statue has appeared!"

"Why don't we demolish it?"

"Nonsense!" Li Gui glared and decided to play in person.

He strode forward to the saint's statue, grabbed the base of the saint's statue with one hand, and grabbed the waist of the saint's statue with the other hand, and tried to exert force.

Unexpectedly, the saint's statue seemed to be alive. He stared down at it, and a feeling of majesty and solemnity arose in Li Gui's heart. It was like a wage earner meeting his boss or a high school student meeting his class teacher. Unknowingly, His hands and feet softened.

"what?"

Li Gui couldn't help but be stunned, and was very interested in this saint statue.

He let go of his hand and walked around the statue of the saint. After examining it carefully for a long time, he found nothing special about the statue.

"There's something about this thing!"

Li Gui sighed in praise, stood up again, held the statue of the saint with both hands, and exerted his strength again.

Sure enough, that feeling came over again, but this time Li Gui was well prepared and pushed up the green and red luck in his body.

With a bang, the two-color luck started to burn, but Li Gui's mental pressure was relieved and he was no longer affected by this strange power.

Without this pressure, Li Gui just used a little force to lift the saint statue up.

Li Gui laughed and threw the saint statue in his hand outward.

The saint statue flew straight out of the hall and landed heavily on the square in front of the hall.

It is originally a wood carving and clay sculpture, how strong can it be?
With a "click", the saint statue broke into three or four pieces, its head and body were separated, and it rolled far away on the ground.

A ray of golden luck sprang up in the icon, flew through the air into the hall, and fell into Li Gui's body.

"Hey, I dropped my treasure!"

Li Gui was overjoyed and did not check the use of the golden luck. Instead, he smashed several holy statues accompanying him on both sides of the hall.

But unfortunately, maybe the luck of these icons was concentrated together, and Li Gui messed around, but never got any luck.

Li Gui took a chance and smashed all the holy statues in the Confucius Temple, but still gained nothing.

Since this statue of Saint Kong can provide luck, can other Buddhist and Taoist statues also provide luck?
So Li Gui simply demolished all the temples and Taoist temples in Qufu City, destroying all the Buddha, Bodhisattva and Taoist statues.

I don’t know if it’s because local temples and Taoist temples are not popular, but Li Gui still has nothing to gain.

Although Li Gui was regretful, he also became curious and wanted to know whether the Buddha statues and deity statues in those famous mountains and rivers and Bodhisattva temples could provide luck.

　The outline lists Confucius as the final boss. The title of the volume is Chaos Shandong, which is actually the battle between Liangshan and Confucius.

　　There was usually a little friction, and then it got bigger and bigger, and finally it broke out at the end of the volume, and they went to Yanzhou and slaughtered the Kong family.

　　But when I was writing it, I realized that I didn’t consider it well at the beginning, and the Kong family couldn’t support the boss of this volume.

　　Because although the influence of the Confucius Mansion is great, it is not supported by force, and Zi Buyu has strange power to confuse the gods, and does not have the magic of Taoism and Buddhism. It is a castle in the air.

　　The friction plot simply didn’t hold up, so I just brushed it off.
