Traffic light please support ~~~
Luan Minggui is a disciple of Qian Shuzhong, his status is very high, and he is an expert in the study of the "Yongle Canon", and his words quickly attracted the attention of most people. The scene was quiet again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you have seen the terrain of this temple before you attacked?" Luan Minggui said. Although his tone was very flat, such words were still quite accusatory. It is a bit too hasty for everyone to blindly blame Yu Fei for his behavior on the basis of no investigation and research.
"Look at the terrain? What do you do by looking at the terrain? Isn't it just a ruined temple? Someone was not convinced and muttered quietly.
Luan Minggui didn't get angry, but walked to a higher step and wanted to stand up, but he was older and his legs and feet were not very convenient, so he tried twice without success.
Yu Fei hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Luan Minggui smiled at him gently and said, "Thank you, young man." ”
"Luan, don't be polite, this is what I should do." Yu Fei said. He had seen Luan Minggui before, and he admired him very much. And just now Luan Minggui didn't come up and accuse him like other experts and scholars, which also made him feel more favorable.
"I thank you not because you helped the old man, but because you helped the entire academic community!" Luan Minggui's words were amazing.
"Huh?" Yu Fei was stunned, not knowing why Luan Minggui said such a thing.
Luan Minggui sighed and said: "Look at the experts present, most of them are over half a hundred years old, and it is very difficult to accept new things and new academics, and they are even unable to do it. If academic research lacks the wings of imagination, it lacks direction, and this is probably one of the reasons why we have studied the whereabouts of the "Yongle Canon" for several days, but there is no conclusion, let alone any action. Great oaks from little acorns grow.. Too much theoretical research and argumentation is often not very helpful for the results. ”
This is also one of Luan Minggui's experiences in the past few days.
Many experts and scholars have demonstrated the possibility of the whereabouts of the original of the "Yongle Canon" one by one, but they have not been searched! Take the exploration of Yongling as an example, and we have discussed what methods to use. But it is stranded because of the undesirable consequences that various methods may cause! If he had known that this would be the case, Luan Minggui really didn't want to come.
It's better to be like Yu Fei, with reasonable imagination and bold speculation, which may be the courage that today's academic circles need the most.
But unlike the unfounded guesses, Yu Fei's guess was very reasonable, and he only learned it after carefully observing the terrain and understanding the temple.
"Look, everyone-" Luan Guiming stood on the stone steps and pointed into the distance, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger: "That's the Ming Tombs!" This temple is probably not even half an hour's drive from the Ming Tombs! Moreover, this temple is faintly opposite to the Yongling Tomb of Emperor Jiajing. ”
"What does that mean?" Someone immediately retorted: "There are many temples around the emperor's mausoleum, what can this represent?" ”
"Don't worry, teacher. Hear me finish. Luan Minggui said impatiently: "I just crossed the historical materials, Emperor Jiajing inspected Yongling 11 times before and after the process from site selection to construction of Yongling, which is very rare. And in the records, a Taoist temple is mentioned many times! ”
"Where is the Taoist temple? I only saw one temple. Someone retorted.
Luan Minggui didn't pay attention to him, and this kind of behavior of interrupting others was very impolite.
Seeing Luan Minggui silent. The man was a little embarrassed, muttered twice and stopped talking.
"Indeed, in the course of our investigation, we did not find any Taoist temples at all." Luan Minggui said. In the process of studying the whereabouts of the original "Yongle Canon", he also made a field investigation in Yongling, and indeed did not find any Taoist temples.
"But look at the roof of this temple. They are all large roofs with reverse curves, showing a kind of flying briskness and pointing straight to the heavens, reflecting the pursuit of Taoism to ascend to immortals, which is not possessed by ordinary temples. Just now I consulted the host of the temple again and confirmed that this temple was indeed a Taoist temple in the Ming Dynasty! It was only in the Qing Dynasty that it was converted into a temple. Luan Minggui said.
This time, it was everyone's turn to be silent. If this temple was a Taoist temple in the past, judging from the distance from it to the Ming Tombs and the historical records of Emperor Jiajing's belief in Taoism, it is indeed very likely that it has a lot to do with Emperor Jiajing.
"If Emperor Jiajing did not place the original copy of the Yongle Canon in the Yongling Tomb, then it is very likely that it is hidden in the Taoist temple, that is, in this temple. Therefore, I think Mr. Yu Fei's inference is reasonable. Luan Minggui said.
It is Luan Minggui himself who advocates that the "Yongle Canon" is in Yongling. Moreover, he made such an inference not on the spur of the moment, but after more than ten years of research, he came to a conclusion, and as a senior scholar, he would not change his opinion at will. But this does not prevent him from supporting Yu Fei, whether it is supporting Yu Fei's arguments or supporting Yu Fei's imaginative behavior. This kind of inclusive mind and this spirit of tolerance for young people all show the greatness of Luan Minggui!
Doing so is tantamount to slapping many experts and scholars in the face, compared with Luan Minggui, they are indeed a little impetuous, and they make false accusations without making any investigation, this kind of behavior is really a bit Meng Lang.
"Old Luan, thank you!" Yu Fei said sincerely.
"Young man, I should have said sorry to you, I have wronged you." Luan Minggui said and bowed deeply to Yu Fei, so frightened that Yu Fei hurriedly hid aside and helped him up.
Luan Lao does not mean that most scholars also have the heart to do so.
After a turmoil, many experts and scholars returned one after another, and only Luan Minggui, Dong Dechang, Qin Xiaojin, Ma Shangdu and more than a dozen people remained, and most of the others were close to these people.
"Hmph, somehow, I'd like to see what you can dig up in the end?!" You Changping said viciously when he left.
"This is our academic community today." Luan Minggui sighed: "Talk about qualifications, seniority, face, and results, but not about the process of diligent pursuit, impetuousness and utilitarianism." ”
Dong Dechang and the others nodded thoughtfully, which was what they deeply realized in the process of participating in the seminar.
Think about the older generation of Jia Lanpo, Qian Shuzhong, Huang Yongsan and others, that is called the demeanor of scholars. Compared with them, today's scholars and experts are much worse, and they are not only poor in knowledge, but also in conduct.
"Yu Fei-" Ma Shang said a little embarrassed: "That situation just now-"
"Brother Ma, don't say that. It's no wonder you, and even if you stand up and speak for me, it probably won't have any effect. Yu Fei said, what he said is also the truth. But does he really not care at all? Not really! Although Ma Shangdu's statement may not have any effect, at least it is an attitude that can make Yu Fei feel that he is not alone.
But the result was that before Dong Dechang, Qin Xiaojin, and Luan Minggui arrived, Yu Fei fought alone.
Especially compared with Luan Minggui, Ma Shangdu is even more ashamed.
Luan Minggui and Yu Fei have only met once, and they can still stand up and speak for Yu Fei, even at the expense of offending so many experts and scholars, many of whom are his old friends.
After experiencing this incident, there is already some estrangement between Yu Fei and Ma Shangdu.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's take a look, what surprise Mr. Yu Fei has brought us, right?" Luan Minggui expressed his support for Yu Fei and stayed, which did not mean that he believed Yu Fei's words, but just to find out.
"Teachers, I'm ashamed to say that I found the secret of the underground palace on a treasure map......" Yu Fei told the lie he had made up to Ye Jianjun again, only this time it was said more smoothly.
"Yes!" Luan Minggui nodded slowly, "If this secret is discovered from the treasure map, then the possibility is a little greater." ”
After all, it is not something that Yu Fei imagined out of thin air.
Moreover, without the guidance of the treasure map, who would have thought that the underground palace of this temple would be under the Mahavira Palace?
"The temple is dilapidated, and I don't know if the underground palace has been damaged. Now that the news of the treasure has gone out, it is likely that it will attract the calculations of those who are interested in it, so I think that a protective excavation should be carried out as soon as possible. Luan Minggui said.
Everyone nodded one after another, which was also what Yu Fei wanted to say. If these things are kept in the underground palace for one more day, there will be more risks, and if they are damaged, it will be an irreversible loss.
Therefore, everyone did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately organized people to carry out protective excavations.
