“The world is vast, so why should it be built in the palace?”

The emperor said: "What Mr. Li said makes sense."

Shan Gudao, who was dressed as a craftsman, spoke hurriedly, "Your Majesty, if we were to build an ordinary Xuan Pagoda, it would be fine, but the Xuan Pagoda we are building needs to store the Liuguang Relic, so it must be built in the palace."

"The Flowing Light Relic?" The emperor was somewhat surprised. "The Flowing Light Relic that was stolen during the time of the previous emperor?"

"That's right." Shan Gudao said, "We bought this treasure from Lanzhu Country at a high price. We know how important it is, so we specially come to present it to Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately said, "Present it quickly."

Taking the box from the eunuch, opening it and seeing the relics inside, the emperor could not help but exclaim in surprise and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Zhao Ling asked, "What kind of treasure is this that makes Father so happy?"

"This treasure is the most valued by the late emperor. When it was kept in the palace, our Daxi country enjoyed good weather and no famine or epidemics for ten years." The emperor replied.

Shan Gudao took the opportunity to say: "This treasure has great fortune. If it is placed in the tower and repaired in the palace, it will bless Daxi and protect the people just like the previous emperor did."

"The late emperor was deeply saddened by the theft of this treasure," the Queen Mother sighed. "It is a good omen that it has been recovered today."

"Okay, I allow you to move around the palace freely to choose a location, and immediately build an auspicious tower and place this treasure in the tower." The emperor agreed to this.

Shan Gudao and the others quickly responded: "We will definitely live up to the trust of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

"Haha." The Unruly Demon Monk laughed loudly, "This is really a great thing. Queen Mother, the location for building a tower is very complicated. If there are too many people, it will easily disturb the spiritual energy. Doctor Li is an honorable guest, so please allow him to live outside the palace."

Li Lianhua said: "Your Majesty, I know some mystical arts. Wouldn't it be just right for me to choose a site with the Imperial Master? Perhaps I don't need to leave the palace."

"Doctor Li was just saying that it is not appropriate to build a tower in the palace. Now you say this again. I think you are clearly making fun of Your Majesty." The Unruly Demon Monk challenged coldly.

Li Lianhua didn't care at all. "Of course I don't dare to play tricks, but I really want to help. The Imperial Master is a foreign visitor, and he is so sincere in caring about Your Majesty. As a citizen of Daxi, I should do my best."

"Mr. Li, you dare to boast in front of His Majesty, so you must have a very deep understanding of metaphysics." Feng Qing said, "How about this, you use metaphysics to calculate how many jade beads are in my brocade bag? I believe this trick is easy for you."

Before Li Lianhua could speak, Zhao Ling spoke first: "It's up to you. It's really rude of you to give orders in front of my father."

Feng Qing: “…”

"It's okay. There shouldn't be any big problem if I calculate it." Li Lianhua said, "However, if you are a master of the mystical arts, guessing this jade bead is a waste of talent. It's better to guess something bigger, which will show your true ability."

After saying that, Li Lianhua stood up, walked to the center of the field, saluted to the emperor, and said, "I would like to ask your majesty if there is anything that is worrying you recently."

"Okay, Mr. Li, please tell me your fortune." The emperor became interested.

"My way of divination is different. It is called the Flower Picking Divination. Your Majesty, please pick a flower at will."

Hearing about Li Lianhua's flowers, the emperor picked one and had Eunuch Wang bring it to him.

Li Lianhua took the flower in her hand and looked at it. She said, "The flower your majesty picked is about to bloom, which means it needs water. Your majesty's recent worries are related to water."

"Yuzhou is suffering from a severe drought. Your Majesty has been worried about this for many days. This is known to everyone in the world." The Undisciplined Demon Monk said, "What Divine Doctor Li said is just a scam."

Li Lianhua said, "I only told you the beginning, not the end. Please see, the core of this flower bud has taken shape, and it will bloom soon. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your worries will be resolved soon."

Hearing him say this, Shan Gudao and others looked disdainful.

At this time, an urgent report was heard outside the palace. A eunuch trotted into the palace, knelt on the throne, and said loudly: "Urgent report from Yuzhou, yesterday there was a sweet rain from heaven, and the drought has been resolved."

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

The emperor said, "Mr. Li actually has such a talent. I am really impressed. Okay, starting today, Mr. Li will work with the Imperial Master to select a site."

"According to the order."

……

The palace guards took Li Lianhua and others to the palace to select a site.

Li Lianhua walked at the end. Yang Yunchun slowed down and walked in front of him. "Li Menzhu really has to stay in the palace."

"Master Yang, are you here to persuade me?"

"I cannot influence my master's thoughts, but I believe in Master Li. It is just that I cannot disobey my master's orders. I can only help him to the best of my ability." Yang Yunchun said in a low voice.

Li Lianhua smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Yang, this is more than enough."

"Master Li really understands the mystical arts?"

"Of course I don't understand that."

Yang Yunchun was confused. "Then how could it be calculated that Yuzhou would have rainfall? This news was just delivered today."

"I'm just lucky. Before entering the palace that day, I went to buy some vegetables and happened to meet a vegetable farmer who told me that there was heavy moisture on the mountain and a north wind was blowing. The moisture would naturally float to Yuzhou, and it would definitely rain in such weather in winter." Li Lianhua explained.

Hearing him say this, Yang Yunchun was greatly impressed, "Master Li is such a man, but he can actually focus on the market. I admire him."

"No matter if you are a person of high status or not, you still have to eat vegetables and drink porridge."

While they were talking, the Wujie Demon Monk who was walking in front suddenly asked, "Eunuch Wang, where is this place?"

"It's just a piece of wasteland that has been abandoned for a hundred years. Let's just keep going." Eunuch Wang responded.

But then the Wujie Demon Monk said, "Wait, I think this place has excellent feng shui, and has great potential for building a mysterious tower."

Eunuch Wang was anxious, "This place... is a dangerous place in the palace. Did you see it wrong, Imperial Master?"

"No." The Unruly Demon Monk said, "This place is just a little desolate, but the Qi caves are full of gold and jade."

"Master, everything I said is true. This place was originally the residence of the late Empress Kangxian. Afterwards, palace maids often disappeared. When they were found, only a mass of blood and flesh was left. Some people also saw..."

Seeing that Eunuch Wang was about to stop talking, the Unruly Demon Monk immediately asked, "What did you see?"

"The monster with two heads is the legendary two-headed beast Ni Tianhou. Over time, this place has become useless." Eunuch Wang said. "The night patrol guards have to avoid this place. It is indeed a dangerous place."

The Unruly Demon Monk laughed, "You don't understand this. A wise man has a different appearance, and so does an auspicious place. When the Xuan Pagoda is built, we can change the wind and water. Let this place become the most auspicious place in the palace. The four people from the Ministry of Works, quickly take a look here and see which piece of soil is suitable for building a pagoda."

The craftsmen from the Ministry of Works took the order and left.

Li Lianhua winked at Yang Yunchun and walked towards the Wujie Demon Monk, "Master, you must be thirsty after walking all the way. Come, drink some of the water I brought." Seeing Li Lianhua pouring water at him, the Wujie Demon Monk hurriedly dodged. Yang Yunchun took the opportunity to make a move and snatched an item from the Wujie Demon Monk.

After opening it, I found there was nothing inside.

"This lord's Heaven-Covering Hand is extraordinary, but how can you rob my magic weapon?" The Unruly Demon Monk looked at Yang Yunchun.

Before Yang Yunchun could speak, Li Lianhua explained for him: "Lord Yang was afraid that the water would pollute the Imperial Master's magic weapon, so he helped the Imperial Master hold it more firmly."

"Doctor Li, don't be too clever for your own good. Don't let your impatience expose your true colors and get you kicked out of the palace, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted." The Unruly Monk sneered.

After they left, Eunuch Wang came over and said, "Doctor Li, since the Imperial Master is tired, please ask Doctor Li to go to the outer palace to rest and come back to the palace tomorrow."

Li Lianhua nodded.

Yang Yunchun, who went to the outer palace with Li Lianhua, asked: "Master Li, what should we do next? You said before that we were going to look for Ziqi, but there is nothing in the national teacher's magic weapon. How should we look for him next?"

"Those bastards have already died."

"Dead?" Yang Yunchun looked surprised.

Li Lianhua nodded. "When you attacked just now, he immediately protected the magic bell on his waist. I guess Ziqi is in there, and he should be dead now."

As he spoke, he took out a small jar and handed it to Yang Yunchun.

After taking it, Yang Yunchun asked in surprise: "You sprinkled this, is this... snow salt?"

"Yes."

"Snow salt is so precious, how did you get it?"

Li Lianhua said, "It was just a coincidence. An old friend gave it to me. Sir Yang, did you notice the four craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry just now?"

“He looks very timid, but there shouldn’t be anything special about him.” Yang Yunchun was a little confused.

"The four craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry only followed the orders of the Demon Monk. The abandoned garden should have been found by Ziqi, which means Muqi is nearby." Li Lianhua said, "But the Demon Monk has always wanted the four craftsmen to find it. Perhaps Ziqi has only determined the direction, so the rest depends on us to find it."

Yang Yunchun frowned, "You mean, those four craftsmen know where the mother ghost is?"

"Did you notice that those four craftsmen had no beards on their faces?"

After recalling it carefully, Yang Yunchun nodded belatedly.

……

Outer palace.

When Li Lianhua arrived at her residence, it was already dark and many craftsmen were eating in the yard.

Seeing Li Lianhua walk over and sit down, the people at the table couldn't help but frown, "Who are you?"

Someone saw Li Lianhua's medical box and said, "It looks like she is a doctor."

Li Lianhua nodded, "A quack doctor."

"Please sit down and have a drink together." The craftsman at the table was very polite.

Li Lianhua sat down as he was told and poured a glass of wine. At the same time, he asked, "Little brother, are all the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry here?"

"We're about to start work, so why don't we all come out and have a good drink?" the man said unclearly while biting a chicken leg.

As they were talking, Li Lianhua noticed that Shan Gudao, Wujie Demon Monk, and Feng Qing came out of the house. The house they came out of contained the four craftsmen that Li Lianhua wanted to find.

After Shan Gudao and the others left, a "craftsman" couldn't help but say, "You come here every day to urge me. It's been so long, how can you remember clearly?"

"As soon as I entered the garden, I thought of what happened to us back then... How about we think of another way to escape?"

"Be careful what you say, don't let anyone outside hear you."

"..."

Now that their location was determined, Li Lianhua thought about coming over in the evening. After chatting casually with the craftsmen at the table, Li Lianhua returned to her residence.

When it was completely dark, he was about to go out to investigate when Yang Yunchun walked in from outside.

"Master Li, please do not act rashly. The people of Wansheng Dao have been monitoring this place." Yang Yunchun came in from outside. Seeing Li Lianhua's dress, he guessed that he was going out and hurriedly reminded him. "I have found out the details of those four people. As expected by the master, more than ten years ago, they were all eunuchs in the palace."

"They are now living in various places. They were found by Wansheng Dao, placed among the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, and sent to the palace."

Li Lianhua asked: "Why were the eunuchs in the palace driven out?"

"He was guilty of theft."

"If someone steals something, shouldn't he be beheaded?" Li Lianhua wondered.

Yang Yunchun nodded, "That's the weird part. We found a lot of gold and silver treasures on them, but they insisted that they found them on a corpse in the wilderness. When the Imperial City Bureau went to investigate, they found a corpse that had died tragically, with a shattered chest and abdomen, and missing limbs. It was definitely not caused by human power, but more likely killed by tigers, leopards, jackals, or wolves. But the Beast Garden is in the outer palace, so how could wild animals enter the inner palace? There were indeed many treasures around the corpse, so what these four people said is very credible."

After listening to him, Li Lianhua asked, "Is the dead man also a eunuch in the palace?"

"Exactly."

"Based on this calculation, I think it's more like five people committed a crime and killed one person due to uneven distribution of the loot."

Yang Yunchun said, "Master had the same suspicion back then, but the treasures we found were not made in the current dynasty, but were made a hundred years ago. When we counted the treasures in the palace, we didn't find anything missing. With no evidence, we could only expel these four people from the palace."

"A treasure from a hundred years ago suddenly appeared, and appeared next to a corpse. Don't you think it's strange?" Li Lianhua asked. "Do you know where these treasures came from?"

"There is no way to find the gold and silver utensils, but there is a jade Buddha statue, which was a tribute from a neighboring country received by Emperor Guangqing a hundred years ago. It is rumored that it is enshrined in the Jile Tower." Yang Yunchun thought about it.

The Tower of Bliss?
Li Lianhua frowned. "I heard from the Queen Mother that the Jile Tower was built by Emperor Guangqing in order to have a child, but your Majesty said that there is no such thing at all, and it is just a rumor. Is this Jile Tower true or false?"

"The old folks in the palace have passed down the story that Emperor Guangqing had no children back then. Later, a master built this Paradise Tower, and soon Concubine Ying became pregnant with a prince and was named queen. But for some unknown reason, the Paradise Tower disappeared overnight." Yang Yunchun replied.

"A tower, disappearing out of thin air?"

"That's right." Yang Yunchun was absolutely certain. "Where it originally stood, not even a tile was left, as if it had never appeared. From then on, the palace was strictly silent and no one was allowed to mention this matter again. It became an unsolved mystery. Legend has it that this tower carries the destiny of heaven. After the destiny of heaven was exchanged for the prince, it was taken back by the heavenly court." (End of this chapter)
