Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 129: A Strange World

"Mistbone Village!"

When they looked at the big words on the wooden sign in front of them, they all felt a chill down their spines.

Liu Qingqing pulled Xiao Yichen's hand. At this moment, she just wanted to get away from him as soon as possible.

"Brother, can you please not go in?"

Patting her head lightly, Xiao Yichen said with a bit of amusement, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. Are you scared now?"

Although he said this, he still dropped a circle of barriers around the three people, which looked very much like the circle that Wukong drew for Tang Seng in the previous world.

"Just wait for me outside, I'll go in and take a look."

After saying that, he turned and left. Yunmei wanted to follow him, but when she saw Xiaozi in her arms and Qingqing who was frightened beside her, she was not too sure about leaving them outside, so she could only tell them:

"Yi Chen, be careful, don't try to be brave, and run away if you have any problems."

After returning a reassuring smile, Xiao Yichen continued walking towards Wugu Village.

Entering the village, small houses made of dead wood came into view. Apart from the fog, it was not much different from a normal village. Even the style of the houses was the same as he had seen before.

But the whole village was unusually quiet at this moment, and there was no one to be seen on the streets. With the help of insight, he realized that everyone was hiding in their homes.

"Am I some kind of monster?"

Unable to get an answer to his doubts, he decided to find the person he had marked before to ask about the situation. Following his senses, he soon came to a relatively open place. The person was in the house in front.

Just at this moment, the doors on both sides of the street suddenly opened, and a group of strange-looking people holding various tools surrounded Xiao Yichen.

"This is such a wicked evil! Kill him now!"

All kinds of shouting and screaming reached Xiao Yichen's ears, causing him to frown and his expression to turn cold. The aura around him slowly dissipated. Seeing this, several people who were nearby retreated one after another, and a hint of fear was revealed in their empty eyes.

"Are you sure you want to take action?"

Xiao Yichen said coldly, he was not a saintly person, as long as the other party dared to take action, he would not hesitate to massacre the entire village. As far as it seemed, the villagers here were all mortals, and he could eliminate everyone present with just a thought.

Seeing the white light emanating from his body, the villagers unconsciously shrank back, their lips trembling, as if they had seen something that frightened them.

"This is a powerful evil spirit. Run quickly and ask someone to invite the Jixu masters to come."

Someone shouted loudly, and the surrounding villagers fled back like birds and beasts. Xiao Yichen did not chase after him, but kept muttering the new word "Jixu", which should be the guardian of this place. As for the "Niesui" that the villagers shouted before, it should be referring to him, but he didn't know what it meant specifically.

“It’s a really weird place.”

He slowly withdrew the power of the heavenly tribulation and continued walking towards the house in front.

When he opened the door, he saw the person he had marked before hiding under a wooden table. There were two other people under the table, one big and one small. The big one was obviously a female, probably his wife.

When he came to the table, Xiao Yichen could clearly feel the tension and fear of the three people. He squatted down and wanted to pull them out. However, when he touched the other person's body, he felt his palm instantly turned cold. The feeling was extremely cold. If an ordinary person touched it, he would probably be injured.

"what……"

The man screamed miserably. At this moment, his arm was grabbed and a wisp of smoke appeared on it. Xiao Yichen was so scared that he quickly let go.

"You are such an evil spirit... You are such an evil spirit. Please, don't hurt my family."

The man pulled his hand back and protected his wife and children behind him, moving back with a trembling voice.

Xiao Yichen ignored them and stared at the three of them with a frown.

"My physique is not much different from that of ordinary people in the outside world, but why does my body reject me so strongly?"

He slowly stepped back. He didn't really want to hurt the other person. He found a bench and sat down. Then he spoke as quietly as possible:

"Come out, I won't hurt you."

The three of them were still hiding under the table, not daring to move at all. Xiao Yichen felt helpless when he saw this, so he just let it go.

"What exactly is this evil spirit you're talking about?"

"Isn't it you?"

It was the child who spoke, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the woman covered his mouth, preventing him from continuing.

"I really won't hurt you. I'll just ask a few questions. After you tell me, I'll leave immediately."

As if he really saw that Xiao Yichen had no ill intentions, the man shrank and said:

"What do you want to ask? If I knew, I would tell you."

Seeing that he was finally willing to communicate, Xiao Yichen was also happy and sorted out his thoughts.

"I want to know why you look like this? And why do you call me Niesui? What does Niesui mean?"

There were a series of questions that Xiao Yichen was eager to know. He knew very little about this cold and evil place.

"We've always looked like this, why are you asking?"

The man was very confused. In his opinion, Xiao Yichen was the strange-looking guy. He had no idea why the other party asked this question. Without waiting for Xiao Yichen to speak, the man continued:

"Niesui is a monster from hell. You proved it when you touched me just now."

This answer stunned Xiao Yichen. In the eyes of these people, the outside world was actually hell? As for the strange incident that had just occurred during their interaction, in their eyes, it just confirmed the fact that he was a demon.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter. He felt that he had come to a world completely opposite to the outside world. He even suspected that this place might not really be hell.

"Have you always lived here? Have you never been to the outside world?"

The man nodded and said, "The air in hell is poisonous. We will die if we step into it."

After hearing his answer, Xiao Yichen could now completely confirm that this place was probably two completely opposite extreme worlds from the outside world, just like the difference between the world of the living and the world of the dead.

As for what happened when the two of them came into contact just now, it can be explained. Two people in opposite worlds will definitely be hurt when they come into contact, just like water and fire.

After spending a while sorting out this information, Xiao Yichen asked the last question.

"Then do you know the Yin Fu Palace?"

However, before the man could answer, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a man in a black and gray robe rushed in and attacked Xiao Yichen without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, waved his hand forward, and easily dissolved the attack coming towards him. The robed man's cultivation level was only at the high level of Qi Refining, so there was no way he could hurt him.

Seeing that his attack was easily blocked, the man in the robe was shocked at first, and then shouted loudly.

"Go back to your hell, you evil creature. This is not the place for you."

After saying that, he took out a stone from his bag and crushed it directly, then quickly retreated out of the house, commanding a group of weirdos at the middle level of Qi training to block the door.

"Is this the Jixu that the villagers were talking about? I thought it was some kind of monster, but it seems it's just a name for a monk."

He didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he sighed softly and slowly walked out of the house. Looking at the dozens of people in front of him, he said calmly:

"I don't want to fight you. I came here just to ask a few questions. I will leave immediately."

After saying that, he walked out of the village. The group of monks surrounding him quickly made a gap, but the weapons in their hands were still pointed at Xiao Yichen, as if they would attack him if he made any movement.

When they arrived at the village entrance, the three women saw themselves being driven out by a group of strange men armed with weapons, and they all looked worried.

"Yi Chen, are you okay?" Yun Mei quickly ran up to him and looked him up and down.

He shook his head, took Yunmei back to Liu Qingqing and the other two, and told them his previous guess. After listening to it, the three of them all showed shocked expressions.

"I never thought such a strange place would exist." Yunmei sighed. The weirdness of this place was beyond her imagination.

They didn't stay for too long. After all, those dozen weirdos kept following them as if they would not stop until they left.

Xiao Yichen and the other three were about to take another route to go deeper, but those weirdos were following them closely. When they realized they were still trying to move forward, the leader shouted angrily:

"Go back to your hell, you evil creatures! If you dare take another step forward, you will stay here forever."

The threat was so strong that even the usually mild-tempered Yunmei frowned after hearing it.

"Everyone, we don't want to be your enemies, but we have something important to attend to, so please give us a favor."

Her words were already very polite, but she was still met with ruthless abuse from the other party.

"Get lost. You are not welcome here. If you want to go any further, there is no way. Give up this idea as soon as possible."

Xiao Yichen completely lost his temper. He turned around with a cold face and looked at the person who had just spoken. The power of the heavenly tribulation in his body slowly released outwards, and said grimly:

"What if I insist on continuing?"

When the man saw the faint light emanating from him, his expression became a little ugly. He was not stupid and could sense that Xiao Yichen was not someone they could contend with, but he still insisted on his attitude and did not back down at all.

Just at this moment, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from the distant sky, and a figure appeared in the eyes of everyone present. Seeing this, the dozen or so people all showed a hint of joy on their faces.

"grown ups."

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen looked at the guy called "Sir" with a serious look.

He was hunched over and was obviously very old. The faint aura he exuded made Xiao Yichen feel a little threatened. He was obviously a powerful person in the state of concentration.

While Xiao Yichen was looking at the other person, the old man was also looking at him. Especially when he saw the white light on his body, the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"Since you don't want to leave, then stay here forever."
