Core of the Sage.

Summary

The narrative depicts the catastrophic destruction of Hanshan Temple, where Du Yu uses his poetic prowess to control twelve giant golden bells, turning them against the temple's defenses. The once-mighty structure crumbles under the weight of the bells, causing chaos among the monks. Guan Xiu, shocked and desperate, attempts to rally the monks but is met with despair as the bells betray the Buddhist sect. Du Yu's talent not only overpowers the temple’s defenses but also shatters the faith of Guan Xiu, who cannot fathom how a mere scholar could wield such power. Ultimately, Du Yu’s poem transforms the treasures of the Buddhist sect into instruments of his will, leading to the temple's downfall and leaving the monks in utter disbelief and despair.
