Ahe, an ordinary girl in Qingshi Lane, accidentally discovered a copper bell engraved with a phoenix pattern and half a broken military talisman after her grandmother passed away. It is these two relics that involve her in a shocking secret that spans rivers, lakes and courts - the legendary Phoenix treasure that can subvert the world is actually closely related to the Phoenix blood flowing in her body.
In order to unravel the true meaning of the words "protect the common people" written in his grandfather's blood book, Ah He was forced to embark on a journey. On the way, she met Shen Yan, a righteous warrior with a mysterious past, and Ye Lan, a sassy woman who knew the secrets of the Phoenix clan. The three of them travel together, from the siege of zombies in the deep ancient tombs to the life-and-death test in the misty abyss; from the benevolent people in the southern Xinjiang plague area to the pursuit of pirates in the raging waves of the East China Sea; from the frightening sand scorpions in the desert of the Western Region to the magic showdown in the imperial tombs of the capital... Every step is on the edge of life and death, and every time they fight to protect the common people.
What they are fighting against is not only greedy officials and ferocious pirates, but also a mysterious organization called the "Soul-Eating Cult" that attempts to use magic to subvert the world. When Ahe gradually awakens to the power of the Phoenix bloodline, and when the ringing of the copper bell becomes the sound of hope to drive away evil, she finally understands: the so-called Phoenix treasure is never gold and silver armor, but the desire of millions of people for peace.
Ancient tomb mechanisms, astrological codes, bloodline awakening, the battle between good and evil... This journey that begins in Qingshi Lane ultimately points to every ordinary person's simple yearning for "home" and "safety". And the figures of Ahe and his companions will eventually turn into a glimmer of light that illuminates the troubled times, leaving a legend of "protecting the people and ensuring peace of the country" in the long history.
