The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

After dinner, Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan chatted with Mrs. Shi for a while. As the sky darkened, Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan went back to their room to rest.

With a "ding" sound, the phone alert sounded.

Shu Wanwan picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Meng Jingyi.

"Master, I'm here to tell you everything's fine. My mother's surgery went smoothly." Shu Wanwan looked at the message on her phone. After all the troubles of the past few days, there was finally some good news. Shu Wanwan replied, "Got it." She sent a happy emoticon and put the phone down.

"Let's sleep for a while. We'll go out when it's late at night." After saying this to Bai Xuan, Shu Wanwan lay down and closed her eyes to rest.

Bai Xuan turned into a cat and lay at Shu Wanwan's feet, just like last night.

Time passed by, and it was completely dark outside. Shu Wanwan opened her eyes and gently pushed the white cat at her feet.

"Xiaobai, get up, it's time for us to go out to work." The white cat stretched, then jumped gracefully onto the edge of the bed and turned back into human form.

The two men quietly opened the door, confirmed that Mrs. Shi was asleep, and tiptoed out.

The village was exceptionally quiet at night, with only the occasional barking of dogs to be heard. Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan walked towards the mountain north of the village.

The closer they got to Beishan, the more uneasy Shu Wanwan felt. Bai Xuan noticed her nervousness and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shu Wanwan nodded. Although Bai Xuan's strength was not strong, it was better than her being alone at this moment. Shu Wanwan felt a little more at ease.

The moon hung in the sky, casting a cool glow. The road to Beishan was rugged and uneven, and Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan walked cautiously.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and Shu Wanwan felt a chill. She stopped and felt that a pair of eyes were watching them in secret.

"What's wrong?" Bai Xuan noticed that something was wrong with her.

Shu Wanwan shook her head. "It's okay. Maybe I'm too sensitive. Let's keep going."

When they reached the cave entrance they had seen during the day, the sight before them stunned them. The mountain, once supposed to be silent, now shimmered with a strange light. The scattered stones beneath their feet now resembled a pre-arranged magic circle, and a rich spiritual energy permeated their feet.

"Is this... a formation?" Bai Xuan said in surprise.

Shu Wanwan walked forward and carefully observed the stone under her feet. It was engraved with complex runes, obviously an ancient formation.

Shu Wanwan was shocked, she realized that this formation might be hiding a huge danger.

At this moment, a powerful force suddenly emerged from the formation, sucking Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan in tightly.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a mysterious space where they couldn't see their hands in front of them and was surrounded by thick fog.

"Have we entered the cave?" Bai Xuan looked at Shu Wanwan in confusion. As Lin Zhengshan said, opening the seal of the cave should be difficult, but what was the situation now?

Shu Wanwan shook her head, her brows furrowed even tighter. "Cover your mouth and nose, there's miasma." Shu Wanwan said, holding Bai Xuan's hand and covering his nose.

"We must have mistakenly entered the formation and entered an illusion. This barrier may prevent us from leaving the illusion." Shu Wanwan explained to Bai Xuan again.

Shu Wanwan waved her hand, and a peach wood sword appeared out of thin air in her hand.

"The heart is moved by thoughts, the sword energy is naturally spiritual, the energy and thoughts communicate with each other, the person and the sword are combined, and the sword rises!" Shu Wanwan muttered to herself, and saw the peach wood sword body emitting a green light, cutting through the air, and dispelling some of the surrounding miasma.

"Follow me." Shu Wanwan pulled Bai Xuan's wrist and walked forward with the faint light.

The further they walked, the thicker the miasma became, and their vision became increasingly blurred. Bai Xuan followed Shu Wanwan closely, afraid of losing her.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. Shu Wanwan raised her peach wood sword cautiously and took a closer look. It was Lin Zhengshan.

"It's you..." Shu Wanwan widened her eyes, "Why are you here?"

Lin Zhengshan smiled slightly and said, "I've been waiting for you."

Shu Wanwan's heart sank, realizing that things were not that simple. She gripped her peach wood sword tightly, ready to deal with any possible danger.

"You're not Lin Zhengshan!" Shu Wanwan swung her sword, slicing through the shadowy figure before her. Lin Zhengshan vanished like smoke.

It turned out that when Lin Zhengshan was still Bai Xian's original body, he lost one of his souls in this illusion as the ancient books burned. Even Bai Xian himself didn't know about this. After all, Bai Xian was not a human. If a human lost a soul, he might become stupid. But for Bai Xian, it just meant that his Taoism was no longer improving. He thought that Bai Xian's Taoism had not improved in recent years because he was already in his twilight years and was powerless.

"The sword technique is vague, the sword energy is sparse, the man and the sword are one, the two are of the same origin, use the energy to control the sword, and be invincible, go!" After Shu Wanwan finished reading, she moved the spiritual power around her body and used the spiritual energy to control the sword. The peach wood sword seemed to be different, as if it had a living being, emitting a dazzling white light. Shu Wanwan swung the sword, and the sword with the beam of light seemed to be merged with Shu Wanwan. With the strength of Shu Wanwan, it stabbed forward and pierced through the darkness.

The dark environment suddenly became brighter, and a ray of moonlight scattered down. Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan returned to the entrance of the cave. When they first arrived here, the stone at their feet that was emitting a dim light also lost its luster.

"The formation is broken?!" Bai Xuan looked at the scene in front of him and knew that it was Shu Wanwan who broke the illusion with her sword.

"Well, that should be the case." Shu Wanwan looked at the stone under her feet and answered Bai Xuan.

Shu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. The illusion just now was so real. She looked down at the peach wood sword in her hand. Fortunately, it was there.

Shu Wanwan raised her head and looked at the black air at the cave entrance again. It had indeed subsided a lot, and it seemed much easier to deal with than before.

"Now we have one more trouble. We still have to find Lin Zhengshan's soul." Shu Wanwan said with a firm look.

Bai Xuan nodded and looked towards the cave entrance. It was dark and gloomy inside, and strange noises could be heard from time to time.

Suddenly, a huge bat pounced towards them. Shu Wanwan quickly swung her peach wood sword, and with a flash of sword light, the bat fell to the ground.

"Be careful, there may be other dangers here." Shu Wanwan reminded.

At this time, Shu Wanwan's backpack suddenly moved. Shu Wanwan felt the restlessness of the soul-locking mirror in the backpack, reached into the backpack, and took out the soul-locking mirror.

The moment the Soul-Locking Mirror was taken out, a puff of red smoke followed, transforming into a graceful woman in red.

"I'm dying of suffocation. Why don't you call me out?" Dai Yan shook the fan in her hand and said to Shu Wanwan with dissatisfaction.
