Mysterious Lotus Casebook

Chapter 1: Auspicious Pattern Lotus House

The sky and the sun were as bright as could be.

The town of Pingshan was an inconspicuous little place, with neither rare treasures nor outstanding people, just like most places in the martial arts world.

The people in the town were all a bit boring, the crops growing in the fields were all a bit thin and flimsy, and the river water was a bit dirty, which meant there were few things to talk about after one ate dinner.

In fact, there were too few things, so on the rare occasion that something to talk about did come up, everyone would be talking about it nonstop - this was the case with the recent incident, which was quite a strange one.

The incident went something like this:

On a day in June, when the people of Pingshan opened their doors to sweep the dust from their floors into the streets, they suddenly found that there was a mysterious two-story wooden building in the middle of the road.

This wooden building was not a short one. In fact, it was completely suitable for people to live in, and very spacious at that. The whole building was entirely made of wood, and it was carved with surprisingly delicate and gorgeous patterns, that even a blind person could feel it with their fingers - the engravings were of lotus flowers and auspicious clouds.

After the townspeople had discussed this matter for a long time, a few of the sharp-eyed people pointed out how this building had appeared very suddenly.

It turned out that its entire structure was in fact a building, but it was not connected to the ground in any way. And so, this building was discovered.

It was pulled by a carriage, transported to the street in Pingshan, and placed there suddenly. The townspeople were amazed, but they didn't understand why someone would place such a wooden building on the street in the middle of the night.

What was the use of it? Was it to be used as an earth temple in Pingshan? Speaking of which, the Earth Temple had been in disrepair for many years, and no one had even lit an incense near it for who knew how long.

The gossip about this mysterious lotus-patterned building lasted for three days.

At this time, a man who was an officer in an escort company came home by chance

When he arrived, he was shocked when he saw the mysterious building and shouted wildly on the spot: "Auspicious Building!"

At that moment, he forgot about returning to his home and turned around running wildly, all the while screaming, "Auspicious Building! Auspicious Building!"

After this, the building suddenly was regarded as a "ghost" building, and it was said that anyone who saw it would go crazy.

It wasn't until seven days later that the escort officer suddenly brought the entire escort agency back to Pingshan, and the townspeople realized that this building was, in fact, not a ghost building.

Not only was it not a ghost building, but it was also a building of great blessings.

This mysterious "Lotus House with Auspicious Patterns" was a medical clinic, of all things.

Its owner was none other than a man named Li Lianhua.

Now, what kind of person was Li Lianhua? In fact, no one in the world knew the entire answer to that.

The identity of his teacher, the level of his martial arts skills, and his age were unknown.

This man had been in the field for six years but had only done two things in total. Although two wasn't very many, these two things made the Lotus House become arguably the most famous thing in the whole area. A most curious legend.
