Chapter 558: Naihe City

This place is indeed secluded. Looking inside the cave, there are several wooden beds and even a stone table, which shows that this group of people have rested here many times.

Tian Lin thought for a moment and said, "Brother Qiao, it's OK for him to lead those ox-headed and horse-faced people away by himself, right?"

The disciple of the Goddess Sect smiled and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Tian. Senior Brother Qiao will naturally find a way to escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a bull head flying over from the distance and went straight into the cave.

Mei Xiangu and the others' faces changed slightly, but Tian Lin stopped Mei Xiangu and the others who were about to take action.

Sure enough, the bull head was not a real bull head. It returned to its original appearance as soon as he entered the cave.

But as soon as he landed, he actually praised Tian Lin and said, "I have heard that there is a Junior Brother Tian in my sect who is very powerful. Today I see that he is indeed as good as his reputation."

Tian Lin said, "It's nothing more than some tricks to distinguish the real from the fake. Senior Brother Qiao, thank you for your praise."

Distinguishing true from false has never been a trivial matter. Everyone knew that Tian Lin was being modest, but no one said anything.

The disciple of the Goddess Sect frowned and said worriedly, "Since Junior Brother Tian can distinguish the real from the fake, can we really deceive the City God of Naihe City by pretending to be so arrogant after entering Naihe City?"

Tian Lin, who was standing by, understood everything. He now knew how this Senior Brother Qiao escaped from the pursuit of those Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters.

It seems that they have a way to disguise themselves as the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons, so that the real Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons will regard them as their own kind.

Tian Lin thought about it in his mind, but his face showed no expression.

The two Xiangxi Sect disciples said, "No, firstly, not everyone has the ability to tell the truth from the false like Junior Brother Tian, and secondly, we are not showing our faces in front of the City God. As long as we are careful, nothing will go wrong."

At this time, Senior Brother Qiao looked at Tian Lin again and asked Tian Lin: "Junior Brother, can you tell me where you got this ability to distinguish the real from the fake?"

He was afraid that Tian Lin might misunderstand him, so he added, "Brother, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to spy on your secrets. It's just that we need to sneak into Naihe City, and we need to disguise ourselves as Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters. But you saw through our true colors at a glance. I wonder if our disguises are too shallow?"

Tian Lin listened, thought for a moment and said, "My ability was given to me by Elder Yu. Unless the City God is an immortal, he will not be able to see through the truth of my brothers."

Tian Lin first consoled them, then asked them, "From what you said, brothers, is there a way to disguise as the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon?"

Without Brother Qiao's words, the Xiangxi Sect disciple said, "This is actually not difficult. We just need to find a way to kill the Ox-Headed Monster or the Horse-Faced Monster, peel off their skin and put it on our body. That way, we can change our appearance."

Tian Lin said after hearing this: "So, the brothers were killing the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons in order to take their fur?"

The Xiangxi Sect disciple nodded and said, "Yes, with the two Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons we killed earlier, we now have all the furs and can ensure that everyone can be transformed into a ghost messenger."

Tian Lin asked again: "I think the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons are very powerful, especially the magic weapons in their hands are extremely powerful. I wonder how the brothers dealt with them."

The Xiangxi Sect disciple smiled and said, "This is not a secret. The reason why you are afraid of these Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters is simply because you don't know that their magic weapons are actually only useful against evil spirits.

The whip is used to beat corpses such as mummies, and the book is used to draw evil spirits. If you are still alive, you are not under the jurisdiction of the underworld, and the book and whip will not fall on you. "

The lantern is made of four pieces of paper, and if you puncture a hole in it, it will become worthless.

Tian Lin and others never imagined that the magic method to deal with the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters would be so simple.

"Brother, do you also want the skins of the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters? Why don't we work together to help you get a few skins, and then we can sneak into this Naihe City together." Senior Brother Qiao on the side spoke with a sincere look on his face.

However, Tian Lin and others were somewhat hesitant about this good intention that was delivered to their doorstep.

Everyone present knew that the reason why Senior Brother Qiao was so enthusiastic was simply because he had some doubts about disguising himself as the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters and sneaking into Naihe City.

Senior Brother Qiao and the others were reluctant to not enter the city, but they were also afraid of being discovered and trapped after entering the city. So they wanted to bring Tian Lin and the others along, so that even if they encountered any difficulties, they would not be isolated and helpless.

In short, it is about pulling people on board and dragging them off the water.

"Senior Sister Mei and I are new here. We have never heard of Naihe City before. I don't know what treasures there are in Naihe City that would make you risk your life to go in."

Tian Lin obviously didn't want to make a move until he saw the rabbit. He first had to figure out the purpose of Senior Brother Qiao and others before making a decision.

"There's nothing to hide. It's just for the sake of completing the mission."

Senior Brother Qiao said, "It is difficult for the sect to advance into the northern hinterland, and this Naihe City is one of the major obstacles. If we want to advance into Naihe City, someone must go in to investigate. In addition, entering Naihe City may bring other opportunities and benefits."

After hearing this, Tian Lin asked, "So, if we go in to investigate, we can get a mission reward? But I don't know how to divide the mission reward?"

Senior Brother Qiao said, "The sect has already said that no matter how many people there are, as long as they can get into Naihe City and get some information out, they will all be counted as first-class merits. So, you don't have to worry about not being able to grab merit points if there are too many people."

Tian Lin nodded after hearing this, but still hadn't made up his mind.

Since the sect’s reward is so generous, it also shows the difficulty of this mission.

He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he looked at Wang Yanyu, Mei Xiangu and others.

Mei Xiangu thought for a moment and said, "I'm sure other places in the north are not as safe as here. We can't go to those places in the south to compete for merits, right? If we do that, when will we be able to accumulate all the merit points?"

Wang Yanyu also said: "If the fur of the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon can really allow us to change our appearance without being discovered, then I think there will be no danger in Naihe City."

After hearing this, Tian Lin looked at Wang Yuan and Wang Qing, brother and sister, and asked, "What do you two say?"

Before Wang Qing and his sister could say anything, the other two Xiangxi Sect disciples looked at them. The leading Xiangxi Sect disciple said, "Brother and sister, why should you be afraid? With the brothers here, are you afraid that we won't protect you?"

Wang Qing and his sister were inner disciples, but the two brothers were true disciples. Firstly, they really wanted to go to Naihe City to take a look, and secondly, since the two brothers had asked, they didn't dare to refuse.

When the two siblings finally nodded, Tian Lin had nothing to say.

He finally said, "Okay, then I'll ask Senior Brother Qiao to help us find some skins of the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons."

"This is a simple matter. These Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons will return to the city tomorrow to report. We can kill a few of them today, skin them, and then disguise ourselves as ghost messengers and sneak into the city tomorrow."

"Well, let's go find the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Mask now!"

The matter had been decided, so Tian Lin stopped dragging his feet. After a short rest, the group left the cave and set off again.
