In the early morning, it rained for several days, and finally stopped.

In a dilapidated compound on the edge of Nanhua City, the wooden door of a wing room creaked open.

The thin girl with a lame leg walked out, although she was only twelve years old, her face was sallow and shaped like a tree.

She glanced at the sun in the sky, and limped back to her room, trying to take the damp quilt out to dry.

But suddenly, there was the sound of chains dragging outside the gate of the compound.

The two officials opened the door of the courtyard, talked and walked in, and when they saw the girl in the courtyard, they were startled:

"What are you doing here?!"

“...... Don't you know that this is the Mansion of the Dead, don't you know that you are scary?! Wandering around all day and night, scaring grandpa and me to death!"

The girl Jiang Ying turned around and looked at them quietly.

Seeing that she was indifferent, the official snorted and threw a broken box at her feet: "You are lucky, you have carried it for six years." ”

"The holy elixir has been prepared, and the holy one has served it, and it is very effective. According to the agreement between the Holy One and your father, you can go. ”

"These are your Daddy's relics—heh, don't ask why they're relics. ”

"Your father is a fool, the elixir is ready, if he confesses the 'immortals' of the enemy country, or tells the location of the fairyland, he will be able to clear the charge of treason, and he will be reused by the saints. However, your father always called 'the secret of heaven must not be revealed' and 'the mandate of heaven cannot be violated', and scolded the Holy One for 'going back on his word', and would rather kill himself in front of the Holy Temple than compromise ......"

"The Holy One let you go because you opened Chrysostom. But you'd better stay away from the territory of the Imperial Dynasty from today, otherwise the Holy Lord will see you, the orphan of the 'former' General's Mansion, again...... Heahe!"

Jiang Ying looked at the wooden box under his feet, and could no longer hear this person speak.

The wooden box under the foot is very small, and the vermilion lacquer is mottled.

When the box was thrown down by the official, the lock was broken, revealing several pieces of broken silver, an identity card, and a cracked ginger jade pendant......

In the tenth year of Tianying, her father Jiang Linfeng went out for the country, but disappeared on the journey and lost news for two years.

At the beginning of the thirteenth year of Tianying, her father suddenly came back, saying that he had been captured to the enemy country, and he finally found a chance to escape before he could return.

When he returned, he still brought a lot of information about the enemy country, and led a thousand troops to repel the enemy country that had been stalemate for several years for the dynasty, and rescued the declining Jiang family from fire and water.

Thinking that it would be fine since then, the imperial court found that there were "immortals" behind the enemy country in the prisoners of war of the enemy country, and the reason why the enemy army was brave and invincible was that they served the elixir of the immortals.

Even if there is a secret report revealing that the general Jiang Linfeng also has the same elixir as the immortals, as well as the same "immortal arts" as the immortals, so he was not captured at all, but cooperated with the enemy country and the immortals, otherwise, he would have entered the fairyland and practiced immortal arts.

The saint was more than seventy years old at that time, and he was "asking immortals" everywhere for his "immortality".

Seeing this secret report, he was furious and shouted that the general was bullying the king and treason.

Taking advantage of the general's absence, he sent troops overnight to control the entire general's mansion, asking the general to hand over the elixir and the pill and explain the origin of the elixir.

The general insisted that he did not know the immortals of the enemy country, and there was no elixir of immortality in the world, and the sage did not believe it, so he immediately beheaded the general's relatives and servants on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, leaving only the five-year-old only daughter and the general's wife to do the final "negotiation".

The general was heartbroken, so he had to grit his teeth and admit it, stating that he had no to do with the enemy country, and said that the elixir had been exhausted and would be re-refined, but on the day of Dancheng, he wanted the saint to let his wife and children go free and return the Jiang family's innocence.

This is equivalent to admitting the existence of elixir, immortals, and even fairyland, the sage was overjoyed, and did not ask in detail for the time being, and urged him to refine the pill at the request of the general, and imprisoned Jiang Ying's mother and daughter in the general's mansion, strictly guarded, and regularly delivered food and daily necessities.

As a result, a few years later, Jiang Ying's A-Niang suddenly fell seriously ill, and the medicine was ineffective and passed away.

Jiang Ying waited for another year, but what he waited for was ......

Jiang Ying looked at the relics on the ground and said nothing.

When the official saw that she didn't take her "royal minister" in her eyes from beginning to end, he was so angry that he wanted to kick her: "Stinky little girl......"

Another official hurriedly whispered to him: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"

"You have forgotten, the saint still has a secret order, let the people of Sikong Mansion track her down, see if her father will leave her clues and let her find immortals and fairyland!"

"She's already a cripple, and she's so thin and weak that she can't help but be windy, if you kick her out again and hinder the saint's plan, you and I will still live?!"

The impulsive official remembered this, and suddenly became jealous, stopped his outstretched legs, and withdrew from the compound with his colleagues.

Jiang Ying didn't hear the official's whisper, but when the official left, she suddenly looked up, glanced at the closed door, and then returned to the room with the wooden box......

............

Jiang Ying closed the door tightly, then walked into the room, lit several candles, took one of them and carried it to the side of the bed with the empty box of relics, pushed it under the bed, and got into it himself.

She took out a drawing in a dark compartment under the bed.

There was a multi-layered road map that only their Jiang family could understand—it was the route to Wonderland.

In fact, she knew that her father had never committed treason, nor had he fornicated with the "immortals" of the enemy country, but he did enter the "fairyland".

Before leaving, her aunt handed her the road map drawn by her father himself, and told her that her father had the opportunity to enter the "fairyland", but he was old, his qualifications were limited, and he was concerned about the court and family, so he came back early, and the "fairy art" he learned was only scratching the surface.

In the secret report that reported her father, the "immortal art" was actually a talisman given by the immortal family, and there were only a few of them, which had already been used up when they went on the expedition.

The elixir is just an ordinary cultivation elixir, if it is given to an ordinary person who does not know how to cultivate, not only will it be useless, but it will also be eaten up by the medicinal power and die, so he can't give it to the saint.

It's a pity that the saint was superstitious about "immortality" at that time, and no matter how her father explained, the saint didn't want to believe it.

Her father can only pretend to make pills, but in fact, he is trying to use what he has seen and heard in the fairyland to find herbs with similar medicinal effects to make more efficient beauty pills.

He originally planned to come back and take their mother and daughter to escape and re-enter the fairyland once he made the beauty pill, handed over the pill, and was released by the saints.

Even if he is not allowed to return, as long as the saint lets Jiang Ying's mother and daughter go, Jiang Ying's aunt can also take Jiang Ying to escape with this roadmap left early.

It's a pity that her father did everything, and in the end his beloved wife died of illness, and he himself committed suicide.

Jiang Ying was the only one left in the Jiang Mansion, and she had to go to the Wonderland alone, and there was no doubt that she knew that she would be tracked down by assassins or secret guards sent by the saints.

Jiang Ying checked the drawings for the last time, closed his eyes, and recalled in his mind the route that he had been reading carefully every day and had already memorized.

After that, put the drawing on the candlestick at the bottom of the bed, light it, put it in an empty wooden box, and watch it burn.

Suddenly, she smelled the scent of medicine coming from her sleeve, and there was a slight warmth.

She took out the source of warmth from her sleeve and found that it was Jiang's jade pendant sent back by the official, which was shining slightly in her palm.
