Chapter 561 Queuing
Chapter 561 Queuing
Seeing the big bull head enter the city, the small bull heads on the Naihe Bridge all felt relieved. The originally dull and depressing atmosphere also became relaxed and lively at this time.
"Get out of the way, let me get to the Naihe Bridge first."
Behind Tian Lin, a big hand was placed directly on Tian Lin's shoulder, and pushed Tian Lin aside with considerable force.
At this time, Tian Lin did not dare to cause trouble, so he gave way.
Behind him, the little cow head that cut in line patted Mei Xiangu's shoulder again and said, "You horse head, get out of my way!"
There was a flash of anger in Mei Xiangu's eyes, but fortunately Tian Lin shook his head at her.
Only then did she suppress her temper and make way for the little bull.
The little bull head dragged a string of seven or eight drought demons forward, but this time he encountered a tough opponent when he was about to slap the next person.
"Why, don't you recognize Master Niu from Niujia Village? My brother-in-law is Niu Feng from Niujia Village."
The little calf in front of him said, "It turned out to be Niu Er. You are blind and you are showing off in front of your brother-in-law."
The little calf-head was startled and said in a muffled voice, "Brother-in-law, you are wearing a cow's skin, I can't recognize you, please forgive me."
But his brother-in-law was not so easy to talk to: "If you want me to forgive you, bring me a drought demon first and I will forgive you."
The little bull head who cut in line had no choice but to reluctantly grab a drought demon from his life-threatening chain and give it to his brother-in-law.
There are many places like this uncle and aunt who have disputes due to queue-cutting, but fortunately nothing serious has happened.
"It seems that these ghost messengers all have real names and identities. Combined with what Big Bull Head said earlier, we know that we need to register when crossing the bridge."
Tian Lin's ears felt hot. It was Wang Yanyu in the form of a horse-faced demon speaking in his ear:
"Although we have skinned those beasts, we don't know their real names. How can we impersonate them and enter the city without anyone noticing?"
After hearing what Wang Yanyu said, Tian Lin couldn't help but frown.
At the other end of the bridge, all the ox-headed and horse-faced beasts carrying drought demons or lonely souls who passed by the team of civil servants reported their hometowns and names truthfully.
"Fortunately, the two civil servants only asked for the names and places of origin, but did not remove the cowhide and horse mask to verify the identity. Now, what we have to do is to find a way to find out the identities of the people we killed, or those killed by the big bull head.
Or, just give up and leave here."
Tian Lin was more inclined to retreat when faced with difficulties, because he could not find a way to find out the names and hometowns of the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters he and his men had killed.
He didn't want to take any risks and was about to back out. But at this moment, Mei Xiangu suddenly came over and said to him, "Zhou Futong, from Niujia Village."
Tian Lin was stunned for a moment, and followed Mei Xiangu's gaze to look at Senior Brother Qiao in front of him, only to see that Senior Brother Qiao nodded to him.
Obviously, Mei Xiangu's words were what Senior Brother Qiao asked her to say. And the so-called Zhou Futong was probably one of the dead minotaurs.
Tian Lin didn't know where Senior Brother Qiao got the information from. Perhaps before killing the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons, he had already noted their names and hometowns.
But no matter what the reason is, now that I have someone to impersonate, I don't have to go back home and give up halfway.
"Okay, let's line up to go up the bridge."
Tian Lin had no objection, and lined up in front of Mei Xiangu and Wang Yanyu, and followed behind Niu Er to wait to go up the bridge.
All the horse-faced demons in the queue carried Yin-Yang books, and the evil spirits they caught were all in the Yin-Yang books. Therefore, the horse-faced demons did not take up much space when they lined up, but the bull-headed demons, because they all carried more or less Hanba, so behind these bull-headed demons, there would always be a string of Hanba following them in the queue, which caused the "traffic" on the bridge to be extremely congested.
Those bull heads waiting in line were obviously used to this kind of waiting, so some of them simply sat on the ground and started taking out meat jerky to fill their stomachs.
I don’t know if the Xiangxi Sect disciples have ever seen evil spirits eating, but this is the first time Tian Lin has seen a dead person eating.
But considering that these Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters are intelligent and even have hometowns and names, it is actually not too strange if you think about it carefully.
Rather than being curious about the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Tian Lin was more curious about the moat under the Naihe Bridge.
The moat was extremely wide, but the river was not turbulent. Because the water was so clear, the vague traces of the water trough at the bottom of the river could be seen.
You have to know that Tian Lin and others are all "Hanba", so their eyesight is naturally extraordinary.
Their vision was blurred, and the area was at least dozens of miles away.
From this we can see that the depth of the moat is at least several thousand feet.
"That's not water plants, it looks more like human hair."
Mei Xiangu, who had transformed into a horse-faced demon, saw it more clearly. She couldn't help but ask Tian Lin, "Do you think this river is the Wangchuan River?"
"Although there is a Naihe Bridge here, there is no Mengpo, and we are not walking on the Yellow Spring Road. The most important thing is, if the so-called Naihe Bridge is real, I think we will definitely not be able to cross to the other side alive."
Tian Lin didn't believe that there was a Naihe Bridge in the secret realm, nor did he believe that there was the Wangchuan River underneath.
But he also knew that this moat was very good, because his entry showed that the name of the river was the River of Wish.
[River Water of Wishes: River water that can increase one’s divine power. It is extremely precious. It is a treasure in heaven, the underworld, and even the Pure Land. It is extremely precious and edible.]
Tian Lin had never had divine power, but he knew that it was the product of the righteous gods refining the power of incense.
Whether the folks created gods, or the imperial court or the heavenly court conferred gods upon them, they would build temples to gather incense and offer sacrifices to the statues.
When the statue absorbs enough incense, it can be transformed into divine power. With divine power, even a lonely ghost can become a god.
However, the so-called gods are actually not that powerful, and there are also differences in the amount of divine power.
Those with less power are like the Earth God, who can only manage the affairs of a village. Those with stronger power are like Ju Mang and Zhu Rong, who can destroy the world and burn the sky.
"If I can enter such a huge river and absorb all its power, can I become a god?"
Tian Lin was eager to try, but there were so many people here that it was difficult for him to go to the river rashly to try, and there was nothing to draw water from.
"After all, gods and immortals do not have the same cultivation system, and divine power also requires specific techniques to activate. I don't have the unique techniques of a god, so even if I gain divine power, it's actually useless.
Moreover, the power of the gods cannot be increased by self-cultivation, but depends entirely on the incense offerings from believers. Therefore, to maintain the status and power of the gods, there must be a steady stream of believers offering incense to them. But I am alone, with no children to offer incense to me. I have never established a sect, and no disciples offer incense to me.
Therefore, the path of the ancient gods is not suitable for me."
Tian Lin quickly suppressed the throbbing in his heart. Apart from curiosity, he no longer had a strong desire for the moat.
If there was a chance, he would certainly try to take away some of the water from the moat. But if there was no chance, he didn't want to take the risk and try, so as not to endanger his life.
