I picked up fragments in Tiantian Film and Television

"Is Zhao Chi's action before his death hinting at some kind of clue?" Li Lianhua guessed.

After hearing what he said, Fang Duobing asked, "You mean, the Paradise Tower is right after entering the well?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Fang Duobing denied it before Li Lianhua could say anything, "How is this possible? Could it be that this Paradise Tower can also become a well?"

Thinking of the time when Zhao Chi slapped the lantern, Li Lianhua suddenly said, "I figured it out. The Jile Tower is a well. Look." As he spoke, he blew out the lantern in his hand and stretched out his hand to press it down. "This is the well."

When he pulled the lantern up again, it looked like a "tower".

"When Zhao Chi died, he actually hinted that the tower was a well. This design is really mysterious." Li Lianhua sighed.

Fang Duobing looked at the lantern in his hand. "I know. It's an iron landslide. It's a mechanism in the Snowy Mine that was recorded in Qimen Ce. A pendant weighing more than a thousand pounds is hung high up, and the mechanism suddenly reverses. The pendant falls rapidly from above, smashing a hole, and the mortar is poured into the hole, and a small mine cave can be dissolved in an instant."

"There is a heavy weight on the top of the tower, and the tower bodies are connected to each other. On the night of the disappearance, someone reversed the mechanism, causing the weight on the top of the tower to fall rapidly, piercing through the ground layer, and causing the tower body to flip underground. The tower turned into a deep well overnight. The well mouth must have been well hidden, and there was no need for Liu Kehe to fill the well more than ten years ago. It should be that Xue Kuan found the entrance by accident after getting drunk."

Li Lianhua said, "It depends on where a drunk person would stop when passing by the abandoned garden to find the entrance to the Paradise Tower."

"Drunk, moonlit night, osmanthus... If I want to admire the moon or take a rest, shouldn't there be a pavilion?" Fang Duobing thought.

Hearing Fang Duobing's words, Li Lianhua took out a booklet from her sleeve and handed it to Fang Duobing, "This is a poem written by Eunuch Wu, who once served Emperor Guangqing. Such a busy man actually has time to appreciate the moon and write poems. Don't you think it's suspicious, unless he has other intentions."

"Catkins fall in the corner of Hanyun, one third of it is used as a flower bed." Pointing at the poem above, Li Lianhua said, "There is no place called Hanyun in this palace. Maybe it is the name of the pavilion."

Looking at the booklet in his hand, Fang Duobing frowned, "There is also this sentence, flying snow turns into rain, snow turns into rain in mid-air, which means the temperature of the falling should be very high. Could it be... a hot spring pool? To create an iron landslide, the soil needs to be soft, so it is naturally more suitable to have water."

"Where is Liu Kehe's construction booklet?"

Fang Duobing hurriedly took out the booklet, "On July 8, the Hanyun Pavilion was demolished, the Willow Leaf Pond was filled, and the Guanshi Mountain was built..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and Li Lianhua looked towards the rockery in the garden at the same time.

The two of them hurried over.

"It's right here." Fang Duobing said excitedly, "The base of this pavilion is still there."

Li Lianhua glanced at the rocks above and said, "This pile of rocks must weigh several hundred kilograms. Fang Xiaobao, can you handle it?"

"Look at me."

Fang Xiaobao set up mechanisms all around and used levers and gears to pull down the rocks, revealing the entrance underneath.

After going down from the entrance, the two immediately saw a plaque, which read: The Spirit Pagoda Hangs Upside Down, Immovable Paradise.

"Sure enough, this well is the inverted Tower of Bliss." Li Lianhua sighed. "It seems we have come to the right place, let's go over there and take a look."

Walking forward and going down two floors, Fang Duobing couldn't help but say when he saw the treasures on the ground, "With so many rare treasures, this should be the main hall of the Paradise Tower. When Xue Kuan and his friends found this place, it was hard not to be greedy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a light figure passing by.

"Those who mistakenly entered the Pagoda saw these Qingrongs in the past. Perhaps someone took these Qingrongs and left with gold, silver and treasures." Li Lianhua said, "Liu Kehe, who had been guarding nearby, found that they had mistakenly entered and sent a mountain cat to bite Xue Kuan to death. They were so scared that they became mentally ill. Later, Liu Kehe only used a replica of Qingrong and hung it in the White Jade Academy, which scared them half to death."

Fang Duobing said: "Liu Kehe really took great pains to protect the rare treasures here."

"If this tower is so simple, then the person who sealed it a hundred years ago should have taken away all these gold and silver treasures long ago." Li Lianhua shook her head.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. It's more important to find clues about our mother's illness." Fang Duobing said hurriedly.

The two began searching in the tower again.

Soon, Li Lianhua found a dead body among them and called Fang Duobing over.

As soon as he came over, Fang Duobing immediately found the Rama Ding next to the corpse.

Li Lianhua picked up the tripod and said, "They are not the same one, but the shape is exactly the same. This one should have been sealed here with the Paradise Tower a hundred years ago. Look, this tripod is broken."

"Is the mother in there?"

"This male corpse has a hole between its eyebrows. The Karma Fire Ghost sucks blood and flesh, especially the human head marrow. The cauldron has been broken, and after the mother ghost wakes up, it will look for blood and flesh to eat. If nothing unexpected happens, the mother ghost is in this person's head marrow." Li Lianhua said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a hook shot into the head of the corpse, and with a strong pull, the head was torn off the corpse.

Fang Duobing turned around hurriedly and saw that the person who snatched the skull was the Undisciplined Demon Monk.

"Thank you for your help. I have taken the mother ghost. You are in the Paradise Tower. Go to paradise." After saying that, he dropped the thunder and fire bomb, turned around and fled.

Watching him escape from the hall, Fang Duobing said anxiously, "Oh no, my mother has been kidnapped."

Just as he was about to chase her, Li Lianhua stopped him and said, "No need to chase her, she's in the cauldron."

"what?"

"Just now I saw the light and shadow interweaving outside the door, so I deliberately only told half of the story." Li Lianhua said: "The female ghost crawled out and sucked the male corpse for decades. After it ran out of food, it returned to its nest to hibernate. The Rama Ding is its nest, you can open it and take a look."

After taking the Rama Cauldron, Fang Duobing opened it with force and saw the mother ghost in the cauldron. "She is really inside. This matter can't be concealed for too long. Shan Gudao should be back to find the mother ghost soon. Li Lianhua, it will be a tough fight later. You should hide quickly."

"It would be foolish to fight hard. Now that we have everything, the most important thing for us is to find a chance to escape." Li Lianhua said.

Fang Duobing patted the bag on his body and said, "Okay, I'll go set up the mechanism."

"give it to you."

moment.

Fang Duobing returned and said loudly, "Li Lianhua, when I was setting up the mechanism, I found a secret passage leading upstairs. We can go now."

After he finished speaking, he found that Li Lianhua was standing still, looking at the words on the wall with a candle. He couldn't help but walk over and said, "Come on, what are you looking at?"

"I know why the Paradise Tower disappeared overnight." "Ah, why?"

Li Lianhua sighed, "These words and murals carved on the wall are to cover up a huge secret. The biggest secret in the tower is not these treasures, but the male corpse on the bed. This corpse is the Nanyin sorcerer Feng Alu who died a long time ago."

"Feng Alu who can control the Hellfire Beast?" Fang Duobing was surprised. "No wonder the Hellfire Beast is here."

"One hundred years ago, Emperor Guangqing had no children, so he wanted to build the Jile Pagoda to change the Feng Shui and pray for a child. Feng Alu took advantage of the construction boom and sneaked into the palace disguised as a craftsman. He wanted to use the mother ghost in the Rama Cauldron to assassinate Emperor Guangqing." Li Lianhua said, "But he was supposed to enter the palace to assassinate, but he ran into Concubine Ying at the time. He was attracted by her peerless beauty and thought it was a destined love. For Concubine Ying, the magician forgot his mission and was willing to be a hidden male favorite."

"What he looked forward to every day was to see Concubine Ying. The sorcerer was hidden in the Paradise Tower, and he often met with Concubine Ying in secret. Not long after, Concubine Ying finally became pregnant. The sorcerer thought that after Concubine Ying gave birth, she would take the child and run away with him. Concubine Ying was pregnant for ten months, and the sorcerer was worried about her for ten months. But when Concubine Ying gave birth successfully, the sorcerer fell into the ground with the Paradise Tower, and never saw the light of day again."

Li Lianhua sighed, "The entire Paradise Tower was a plot by Concubine Ying. Emperor Guangqing was infertile, and Concubine Ying wanted a child, so she planned the whole thing. After she became the emperor and gained real power, she deleted all the records of the Paradise Tower. As the Paradise Tower was buried deep underground, the magician Feng Alu was naturally filled with anger, so he drew these and finally waited to die here."

Fang Duobing's scalp was numb. "If Emperor Guangqing's son is the son of Nanyin magician Feng Alu, then..."

"The royal bloodline of Daxi has been extinct since Emperor Guangqing." Li Lianhua nodded.

"If this matter gets out, the world will be in chaos."

Li Lianhua said: "So this Paradise Tower must remain a secret forever. No wonder Liu Kehe would rather kill himself than let this secret be discovered by anyone."

"Empress Ying made a life and death jade bond with the Liu family to ensure that the Liu family would serve as officials for generations, so they conspired to build this Paradise Tower. There is not only an iron mountain collapse in the tower, but also a secret room. It was thought out at the beginning of the design that this secret must be kept forever." Fang Duobing said.

"The secret passage you just mentioned should be the secret passage where Feng Alu and Ying Fei met in private, right?"

"Oh no, someone is coming, follow me." Fang Duobing heard the noise, pulled Li Lianhua and walked out.

At this moment, a figure appeared beside them and slapped the mural on the wall. When the figure withdrew his palm, the mural on the wall shattered into powder and fell to the ground.

Now, no one knows what Feng Alu left behind except them.

"you!"

Seeing Shen Haofeng smashing them with one palm, Fang Duobing scolded him.

Shen Haofeng looked at him, "You don't think that after the emperor knows these secrets, he will pretend that nothing happened when he knows that you know about it, right?"

Seeing Fang Duobing wanted to say something, Shen Haofeng interrupted and said, "You don't care, but where is your father, your mother, your aunt, and Tianji Villa?"

"Don't gamble everyone's life and property on whether the emperor is merciful." After saying that, Shen Haofeng urged, "Hurry up and leave."

Fang Duobing, who opened the secret passage and led them to escape, wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know where to start. Obviously, he knew that what Shen Haofeng said was right.

"Why do you appear and disappear so suddenly?" Fang Duobing couldn't say anything else, so he had to take advantage of the topic.

Shen Haofeng said, "I am not like you. I am the future consort and can come and go freely in the palace. I can only wait for an opportunity. The palace is so lively tonight, I guessed something is going on, so I sneaked in."

"You were able to avoid the eyes and ears of the Imperial City Bureau. It seems that you are not only proficient in hidden weapons and palm power, but also have extraordinary light skills?" Fang Duobing looked at him. "How many secrets do you have?"

Shen Haofeng glanced at him and said, "I am your future uncle-in-law after all. You should be more polite when talking to your elders and be careful about your words."

Fang Duobing: "..."

Everyone in Tianji Villa knew about his relationship with He Xiaofeng. Fang Duobing was very depressed when he knew that he had close female friends like Su Xiaoyong.

However, He Xiaofeng had married Liang Yi Fairy and invited many guests, which made Fang Duobing a little bit frustrated. He thought, if not for this, with his aunt's temper, how could she tolerate Shen Haofeng having other women around him?

This secret passage was not too long. When they were about to reach the exit, Shen Haofeng said to them, "You guys go out. I'll wait a little longer. If we are seen by others, it will implicate you."

Knowing that he had a way to leave, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing had no feelings for him.

After the two came out, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.

The guards from the Imperial City Bureau had already been waiting for them outside.

"Fortunately, Shen Haofeng didn't come out with us." Fang Duobing whispered to Li Lianhua. "It seems that someone has notified the Imperial City Bureau and is waiting to arrest us."

Li Lianhua nodded, "You guessed right."

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Seeing the emperor walking out of the crowd, Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua hurriedly saluted.

"Your Majesty, be careful. The tripod in his hand is used for poisoning." As soon as he saw Li Lianhua and the others, as well as the Rama Tripod in Fang Duobing's hand, the Unruly Demon Monk spoke immediately.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Xiao, who was standing beside him, said, "Master, there is no need to worry. The evidence will be kept by the Imperial City Bureau." As he said that, he walked towards Fang Duobing.

Seeing Li Lianhua nod, Fang Duobing handed over the Rama Ding.

The angry Wujie Demon Monk turned and left.

"Li Lianhua has been ill for a long time. When the imperial teacher said that you were digging a secret passage in the harem and planning a rebellion, I didn't believe it. But it turns out to be true." The emperor looked at them coldly.

Fang Duobing spoke up hastily, "Your Majesty, we didn't dig this secret passage, and we didn't intend to rebel."

"Then tell me, why are you trying to do this by digging a secret passage in the harem instead of investigating the murder case the day before yesterday?" the emperor demanded.

"Your Majesty, I think the entrance to this secret passage has been there for decades, so I don't think they dug it." The only one who could defend Li Lianhua and the others at this time was Yang Yunchun. "Maybe there is some misunderstanding."

Li Lianhua said: "This secret passage has been around for a hundred years, and it was definitely not dug by us."

"Where does this secret passage lead to?"

Fortunately, Shen Haofeng destroyed the murals on the wall, so there was nothing to hide when asked, but I didn't know if Shen Haofeng had escaped. However, based on Li Lianhua's understanding of Shen Haofeng, he must have left long ago. Li Lianhua said, "It leads to the Paradise Tower." (End of this chapter)
