李王罔鳥松區夢裡人， 22歲時，依媒妁之言與李石柱成婚，李石柱是一位穩重老實，奉公守法的人，婚後兩人從佃農，一步一腳印走向建築事業。
Wang Wang Lee, a native of Mengli, Niaosong District, married Shizhu Lee at the age of 22 by matchmaker to Zuoying District.Mr. Lee was a steady, honest, law-abiding person. After marriage, the two developed a construction business together.
民國81年，道士傳遞玄天上帝意旨，執筊委請李王罔統籌建廟事宜：蓋土地公廟−仙峰宮，這重責大任一直讓她不敢承擔，李王罔懇請廟方，另尋有力名望仕紳擔綱，她願意提供棉薄善款捐助。後因騎摩托車竟無故跌倒，問了神明，神明再次指示希望由她主事。
In 2002, the Taoist priest conveyed the will of Heavenly God of Xuan Tianand to assign Ms. Lee to build Sianfong Temple for Earth God. She did not have the guts to take this holy impossible mission. She implored the temple authorities to find another powerful and famous male gentry to take the responsibility , she was willing to provide donations. Later, she fell down for no reason while riding a motorcycle, so she consulted the Heavenly God of Xuan Tian who once again instructed her to take charge of this mission.
李王罔乃女中豪傑，一旦擔下，便義無反顧，神明指示下找到地(位於雄市大樹區，地址:三和里三和路130號)，賣地的村民告知：李王罔來買地前幾日，自己曾夢見土地公數次。
Ms. Lee was a heroine . Once she took over the responsibility, she would never regret. Under the instructions of the Earth God, she found the land (located in Dashu District,kaohsiung, address: No. 130, Sanhe Road, Sanheli). The landlord told her: "The Earth God has come. A few days before I planned to sell the land, I dreamed of the Earth God several times."
歡慶開工儀式，玄天上帝指示上午10點動土，叮囑建地四方備妥鞭炮，時辰一到，工人點燃金紙燃燒中，忽然一陣龍捲風颳起，四方鞭炮無人碰及、卻同時點燃，焰光照人，震天巨響。
To celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony, Heavenly God of Xuan Tian instructed the time should be at 10 a.m. and ordered all believers to prepare firecrackers. When the time came, the believers were preparing for burning it. Suddenly a tornado blew up. No one touched the firecrackers, but they were lit at the same time. The flames illuminated their hearts and made a loud applause.
蓋廟初期，左營北極殿玄天上帝指示蓋廟中心位置，後來與測量師的測量圖竟完全一致，把他嚇得瞠目結舌，蓋廟期間，神明也指示李王罔何處需補強建造，令工人嘆為觀止。
During the early construction, Heavenly God of Xuan Tian of Zuoying instructed the central location of the temple. Later, it was completely fitted with the surveyor’s plan, which gave him a big shock. During the construction of the temple, the God also instructed Ms. Lee where to strengthen the construction , which amazed the workers.
一直鼓勵李王罔蓋房、蓋廟的水泥工−李朝鉗、李琴、李金治、李進雄等，身體力行，贊助『人力與物力』，侯氏建設暨三寮灣東隆宮董事長侯正仁先慈侯王貴女士，擔任副主任委員，傾注『財力』相助下，突破困境，完成眾願，歷時10年終於功德圓滿。
The cement workers also gave their financial and manpower support to Ms. Lee - Li Chaoqian, Li Qin, Li Jinzhi, Li Jinxiong, etc., Mr. Zhengren Hou, Chairman of Hou's Construction and Sanliaowan Donglong Palace. His mother, Ms. Wanggui Hou served as the deputy chairman.
Ms. Lee overcame the difficulties and fulfilled everyone's wishes. It took 10 years to finally complete the merits.
想像百年前的工匠陳養在左營下路、舊城國小、蓮池潭周圍小徑來回踱步及深思，體會到這是一個後天八卦的地形，蓮池潭西北側的廖家古厝位於相對高處的乾卦位置，蓮池潭的堤岸則是低處的坤卦位置。因此陳養向奎和伯仔推薦用「乾三連」門額，獲得同意，蓋了一座精緻的閩南大厝，工匠在門廳門聯留下「招百福 掃天災」的上聯，祝福主人家，也滿意地在古厝磚牆上落款留名。這樣百年前的工匠足跡及風水密碼，是在2019年才解謎。
