Maybe I shouldn't die.

That night, Fang Yue suffered from insomnia for the first time in a long time. Half a month ago, the mysterious Taoist priest had predicted that her life was in the southwest, and gave her a token to guide her to Yishui City to ascend to immortality.

Since leaving Fengcheng, they have been traveling southwest according to what the Taoist said for more than half a month. They also asked others on the way, and they all said that they had never heard of the name of Yishui City. The system in their minds has not changed at all. Their initial enthusiasm has gradually cooled down.

However, the unusual group of three people they met today rekindled her hope. The three people left the teahouse at the same time as them, and they were able to reach Zhucheng before dark by carriage, but the three people, just walking, took the same amount of time as them.

Thinking of this, Fang Yue couldn't sleep anymore. She was only five years old and her life had just begun.

She turned over and faced the wall. The moonlight poured in from the window and passed through the screen, leaving mottled images on the wall. Occasionally, she could see the shadows of a few flying insects dancing up and down.

She pulled her head under the quilt and forced herself to clear her mind. If she didn't sleep well, she would suffer.

The next day, Fang Yue was woken up by noise. The inn was on the street, and the street was already bustling with people in the early morning.

After washing up, she came to the lobby. Her father and brother were already waiting at the table. Breakfast was a simple meal of meat porridge and steamed buns. After a long journey, Fang Yue gradually got used to the light diet.

She noticed that the three people from yesterday were sitting at the table next to her. The boy was drinking porridge, and when he saw Fang Yue coming down, his eyes lit up and he finished the remaining porridge in two or three gulps, put down the bowl, and waved at Fang Yue, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

The middle-aged man tapped the boy's head and held down his hand. Seeing Fang Yue's family watching, he nodded at them to show his friendliness.

Fang Yue was a little surprised. She didn't expect the boy to be so enthusiastic. After hesitating for a moment, she walked towards their table. Fang Yue pretended to be curious and asked:

"Brother, are you also going to Yishui City?"

The young man was stunned after hearing this, looked at Fang Yue's pale face, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, are you going to Yishui City to seek medical treatment?" he replied gently.

"Yes," Fang Yue replied affirmatively. In a sense, cultivating immortality to prolong life can also be regarded as seeking medical treatment and medicine. The ultimate goal is to cure her, so it is not a lie.

"Have you finished eating? It's time for us to leave," the middle-aged man suddenly said

Fang Yue originally wanted to ask how far Yishui City was, but seeing this, she didn't dare to ask anymore, so she smiled and said.

"Goodbye, brother"

The middle-aged man and his party left soon, and Fang Yue returned to his father and elder brother to continue eating.

The Fang family members all seemed very excited, but they were not allowed to talk too much in the lobby. After finishing their meal and returning to their room, Fang Yue excitedly took Fang Li's hand and said:

"Father, brother, did you hear that? There really is Yishui City!"

"I heard you, Yue'er." Fang Li touched Fang Yue's head. Over the past half month, they had been suffering just like Fang Yue. Although they had only confirmed a name, it did rekindle their hope.

"Yuer, are you still able to hold on?" Mr. Fang asked with concern.

The continuous journey for many days made him very worried about his daughter's health.

"Father, I'm in good health. Doctor Zhang takes my pulse every day." Fang Yue replied quickly. She really liked her father's concern.

"That's good. We'll take a day off today and continue moving southwest tomorrow." Mr. Fang's tone was full of determination.

Fang Li and Fang Yue smiled at each other, and the burden in their hearts was lightened a lot.

On the second day, the convoy set off early and headed southwest. Not far from Zhucheng was a forest, which the people of Zhucheng called the Ghost Forest.

The forest is shrouded in white fog all year round. It is rumored that anyone who enters it will lose time and direction.

Someone once said that after entering the forest, one would walk in it for more than a month, and would only turn back after eating all the food. After only one day, one would have returned to the outside of the forest.

Some people also said that they had been walking with their partners in the fog, but in the blink of an eye, they had lost sight of their partners and could not find them anywhere. They had no choice but to leave the maze, but they did not see their partners return home for a long time.

The Fang family arrived at the Ghost Forest. Faced with this misty forest, the escorts refused to take the risk of moving forward no matter what. Mr. Fang had no choice but to pay the fees in advance and let them return with the carriage and most of the luggage.

In front of the ghost forest, Mr. Fang held Fang Li's hand tightly. Fang Li held the nanny, and the nanny held Fang Yue. The group walked carefully into the forest.

After stepping into the white fog, it was as if they had entered a whole new world. It was silent and everything around them began to become blurry. They could only rely on their intuition, choose a direction, and move forward unswervingly.

Gradually they discovered that this dense forest seemed more bizarre than they had imagined. As they went deeper, the white fog became thicker. Fang Li and Fang Yue began to feel uneasy. They held each other's hands tightly, fearing that they would get lost if they were not careful. Nanny also frowned, showing a worried look.

They could not retreat and could only move forward firmly, advancing continuously in the seemingly endless white fog. They could not distinguish day from day in the fog, and could not see the sun or the moon. They did not know how many days they had been walking. Their shoes had been worn out, and the food they had brought in was almost finished. Despair began to fill the eyes of Mr. Fang and his family.

Suddenly they found a faint light coming from Fang Yue's chest. Fang Yue was startled and took out the token from his chest.

The glowing object was the immortal token given to her by the mysterious middle-aged Taoist priest in Fengcheng. As the token's light became brighter and brighter, the surrounding fog seemed to dissipate a little.

It's not just as if, the fog has really faded.

The light of hope rekindled in the eyes of Mr. Fang and his family. In the distance, a bright light suddenly emerged from the white fog, as if showing them the way.

Mr. Fang had an idea and hurriedly led everyone towards the light. As they got closer, the light became brighter and brighter, as if indicating that the exit was just ahead.

Finally, they reached the end of the light. The sunlight shone on them, warm and hot. Looking forward, they saw a tall city standing not far away.

Looking back, the forest was still shrouded in white mist, as if it were a mysterious world, completely different from the reality they were in at the moment.

When they arrived at the city gate, they found that the city wall was extremely tall and more majestic than any city wall they had seen before.

The sunlight shines on the thick stone bricks, creating a golden luster, making the city wall look like it is built of gold.

Above the city wall, there were three large black characters engraved, which read "Yishui City".

Fang Yue was so excited that she was almost speechless. They had just arrived at Yishui City.

It all seemed like a dream.

After entering Yishui City, there were people coming and going in the city, and vendors hawking their wares on the streets, as if there was no difference from other cities. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that most people coming and going have children with them.

Mr. Fang found an inn and planned to stay there first and then slowly inquire about other things. They had already arrived in Yishui City and had plenty of time.
