At Yongning Temple in Luoyang, the pagoda rose a thousand feet above the ground, with golden bells hanging from every corner, 130 in all. When the wind blew on a long, still night, the bells rang in harmony, their clear, sonorous tones carrying for more than ten miles.
The traitor Xiao Su imprisoned the emperor in the towering pagoda. Before long, the Son of Heaven vanished from inside it without a trace.
The Commander of the Central Army summoned the members of the renowned construction family beneath the pagoda and gave them three days to uncover the secret chamber within.
