Luan Minggui was a disciple of Qian Shuzhong, with a very high status, and he was also an expert in Yongle Dadian research. His words quickly attracted the attention of most people. The scene became quiet again.
Dear experts and teachers, I don’t know if you have seen the topography of this temple before launching the attack. Luan Minggui said. Although his tone was very calm, such words were still quite accusatory. Everyone did not have any basis for investigation and research.
It was too hasty to just blindly blame Yu Fei.
Look at the terrain. Look at the terrain. Why is it just a dilapidated temple? Some people were unconvinced and muttered in a low voice.
Luan Minggui was not angry, but walked to a higher step and wanted to stand on it, but he was old and his legs and feet were not very convenient, so he tried twice without success.
Yu Fei quickly stepped forward to help him. Luan Minggui smiled at him gently and said: Thank you, young man.
Don't be polite, Mr. Luan, this is what I should do. Yu Fei said. He had met Luan Minggui before and admired him very much. Moreover, Luan Minggui did not come up to criticize him like other experts and scholars just now, which also made him
Feel better again.
I thank you not because you helped the old man, but because you helped the entire academic world. Luan Minggui's words are amazing.
Ah Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, wondering why Luan Minggui said such a thing.
Luan Minggui sighed and said: Look at the experts present, most of them are over fifty years old. It is very difficult to accept new things and new academics, and it is even beyond their capabilities. If academic research lacks the wings of imagination, it will be difficult.
Lack of direction. This is probably one of the reasons why we have been studying the whereabouts of Yongle Dadian for several days, but without any conclusion, let alone any action. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Too much theoretical research and argumentation often leads to the lack of direction.
The results were not very helpful.
This is also one of Luan Minggui's experiences over the past few days.
Many experts and scholars have demonstrated one by one the possibility of the whereabouts of the original copy of the Yongle Dadian, but they have never carried out the search. Take the exploration of Yongling. They have discussed what methods to use, but because of the possible adverse effects caused by various methods
If he had known that it would be like this, Luan Minggui would really not have been willing to come.
It's better to be like Yu Fei. Reasonable imagination and bold guesses may be the courage that today's academic world needs most.
But unlike baseless guesses, Yu Fei's guess was quite reasonable. This was something he only found out after carefully observing the terrain and understanding the temple.
Everyone saw Luan Guiming standing on the stone steps. He pointed to the distance, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger: That is the Ming Tombs. This temple is probably only half an hour's drive from the Ming Tombs.
Not to mention, this temple is faintly opposite to the Yongling Tomb of Emperor Jiajing.
What does this mean? Someone immediately retorted: There are many temples around the emperor's tomb, what does this mean?
Teacher, don't be anxious, listen to what I have to say. Luan Minggui said calmly: I just looked through the historical data. Emperor Jiajing inspected Yongling 11 times from site selection to construction. This is very rare.
.And in the records, a Taoist temple was mentioned many times
Where is the Taoist temple? I only saw one temple. Someone else retorted.
Luan Minggui ignored him. This behavior of interrupting others was very impolite.
Seeing Luan Minggui's silence, the man was a little embarrassed, muttered twice and stopped talking.
Indeed, during our investigation, we did not find any Taoist temples at all. Luan Minggui said. In the process of researching the whereabouts of the original copy of the Yongle Dadian, he also conducted an on-site inspection in Yongling and indeed did not find any Taoist temples.
However, please take a look at the roofs of this temple. They are all large roofs with reverse curves, showing a flying and brisk momentum pointing directly to the sky, which reflects the Taoist pursuit of ascending to immortality, which is not available in ordinary temples.
Yes. I just consulted the director of the temple to confirm that this temple was indeed a Taoist temple in the Ming Dynasty but was changed into a temple in the Qing Dynasty. Luan Minggui said.
At this moment, it was everyone's turn to be silent. If this temple was a Taoist temple in the past, judging from its distance to the Ming Tombs and the historical records that Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, it is indeed very likely that it has a close relationship with Emperor Jiajing.
If Emperor Jiajing did not place the original copy of Yongle Dadian in Yongling, then it is very likely to be hidden in a Taoist temple, that is, in this temple. So I think Mr. Yu Fei's inference is reasonable. Luan Minggui said.
It was Luan Minggui himself who advocated that the Yongle Grand Ceremony was in Yongling, and his inference was definitely not impulsive, but a conclusion reached after more than ten years of research. As a senior scholar, he
He will not change his views 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, this kind of support for young people
The spirit of tolerance shows the greatness of Luan Minggui
Doing this is tantamount to slapping many experts and scholars in the face. Compared with Luan Minggui, they are indeed a little impetuous and make rash accusations without conducting any investigation. This kind of behavior is really a bit arrogant.
Mr. Luan, thank you Yu Fei for your heartfelt words.
Young man, I should be the one to say sorry to you for making you feel wronged. Luan Minggui said and bowed deeply to Yu Fei, which frightened Yu Fei and quickly hid aside and helped him up.
Just because Mr. Luan did this does not mean that most scholars have the ambition to do so.
After the storm, many experts and scholars returned one after another. Only Luan Minggui, Dong Dechang, Qin Xiaojin, Ma Shangdu and more than ten people remained, and most of the others were close to these few people.
Huh, that's baffling. I want to see what you can dig up in the end. You Changping said viciously before leaving.
This is our current academic world. Luan Minggui sighed: It is about qualifications, seniority, face, and results, but it is not about the process of diligent pursuit, impetuous utilitarianism.
Dong Dechang and others nodded in agreement. This was something they realized deeply during their participation in the seminar.
Think about Jia Lanpo, Qian Shuzhong, Huang Yongsan and others of the older generation. That is called scholarly demeanor. Compared with them, today's scholars and experts are far behind. They are not only lacking in knowledge, but also in conduct.
Yu Feima Shangdu said with some embarrassment: The situation just now
Brother Ma, don't say that. I can't blame you in the first place. Even if you stand up and speak for me, I'm afraid it won't have any effect. Yu Fei said, what he said is the truth. But does he really not care at all? Not necessarily.
Although Ma Shangdu's statement may not have much 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 was fighting alone.
Especially compared to Luan Minggui, Ma Shangdu felt even more ashamed.
Luan Minggui and Yu Fei had only met once, yet he was able to stand up and speak for Yu Fei, even at the cost of offending so many experts and scholars, many of whom were his old friends.
After experiencing this incident, there was already some estrangement between Yu Fei and Ma Shangdu.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s take a look at what surprises Mr. Yu Fei brings to us. Luan Minggui expressed his support for Yu Fei and stayed, which does not mean that he believed Yu Fei’s words, but that he wanted to
Just to find out.
Several teachers, I'm ashamed to say, I discovered the secret of the underground palace on a treasure map. Yu Fei told the lie he had fabricated to Ye Jianjun again, only this time he told it more smoothly.
Enluan Minggui nodded slowly. If he discovered this secret from the treasure map, then the possibility would be even higher.
After all, it was not something 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 Hall?
This temple is in ruins, and I don’t know if the underground palace has been damaged. Now that the news of the treasure has spread, it is very likely to attract the plot of someone who is interested, so I think protective excavation should be carried out as soon as possible. Luan Minggui said.
Everyone nodded, this is what Yu Fei wanted to say. If these things are left in the underground palace for one more day, there will be more risks. If they are damaged, it will be an irreversible loss.
Therefore, everyone did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately organized manpower to carry out protective excavation. To be continued...
