Chapter 1243 Those who wish take the bait

The moonlight was dim and the wind was howling.

The stop rope in front of the Canghai Sect's forbidden area was torn up and down by the strong wind. The dark-colored ribbons swayed wildly like living things, making a harsh rustling sound in the night, as if whispering and waving to some existence in the darkness.

There were vague and strange black shadows all around, appearing and disappearing at once.

In this chaotic dark night, all movement was drowned out by the sound of the wind, and all sounds intertwined into a chaotic roar, making it impossible to distinguish any subtle changes.

"I say," Ling Yichen's voice suddenly sounded in the darkness. "Do we really need to dress like this? In this environment?"

A black shadow separated from the darkness, and in the slightly brighter shadows, a vague figure emerged. The man was wrapped in a black nightgown from head to toe, with only his eyes and hands, which were clearly black and white, exposed.

Ling Yichen uncomfortably pulled down his mask and felt that the peculiar smell at the tip of his nose had finally faded a lot.

He just didn't understand, what was the point of them wearing night clothes in such a dark night?
They are monks! Monks! Exploring the secret realm of Canghai Sect at night is also a righteous thing to do... Although the means are not so aboveboard, they don't have to wear such night clothes that look like they are not doing good things!
"Didn't I tell you?" Du Xingyu also walked out of the darkness, "Hide our tracks! If we are discovered, don't let them link us to those people inside. We are just pretending to be thieves. Look at the weather, everyone is cooperating with us, and the atmosphere is perfect. If you really don't want to, just pick it. If someone recognizes us later, it will be your Taixu Palace's fault anyway, we don't care."

Ling Yichen hesitated, but still quietly pulled the towel over his face. Suddenly, the peculiar smell rushed into his nose again.

This set of clothes was kindly lent to him by Du Xingyu, because he was a monk from Taixu Palace and always wore a white robe, so he did not have such a thing as a nightgown.

Du Xingyu said he meant well, but he hadn't washed his clothes in who knows how long, and they had an indescribable smell.

Ling Yichen wanted to use magic to clean it, but Du Xingyu stopped him, saying that the dirtier and older it was, the more realistic it would be. How could a thief who made a living outside clean himself so cleanly? Success or failure often lies in the details...

Ling Yichen suspected that Du Xingyu was fooling him and deliberately making trouble for him.

But the "sponsorship" that Aohen got was also a set of old clothes, which looked not much better than his own. The clothes Du Xingyu wore were like dried pickles, wrinkled and dirty as if they were dug out from a pile of ash...

The only set of brand new clothes was naturally on Lin Fan. After listening to Du Xingyu's "heresy", she rolled on the ground twice and was covered in dust.

Ling Yichen had no face to fight with Lin Fan for new clothes. Ao Hen didn't know whether his sense of smell was impaired or whether demon cultivators had a strong smell. His muscular body was a little tight in Du Xingyu's clothes, but he was completely comfortable with the face scarf...

Ling Yichen didn't want to waste time talking to Ao Hen, and he also disliked that Du Xingyu's clothes were too dirty, so in the end, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

But this smell is really intoxicating!

Ling Yichen finally grabbed two pieces of rags and stuffed them into his nose, finally deceiving himself and feeling at ease.

He also didn't understand why Du Xingyu, a disciple of the Tianmen Sect, would carry so many night clothes. What on earth was he doing walking in the secular world all year round? Ah?

Ao Hen saw Lin Fan looking intently at the ropes in front of the forbidden area and said with a smile, "There is no barrier, don't worry."

"I know." Lin Fan walked out slowly, "It's just that this forbidden place..." She grasped the violently shaking hemp rope, and suddenly, the wind nearby seemed to stop suddenly. The dancing rope instantly became quiet and fell naturally. The seemingly ordinary black laces revealed a deep blood color in this silence.

"This kind of forbidden area," Du Xingyu slapped the half-man-high stone next to him, "is too casual."

There was no barrier, no protective wall, not even a decent fence.

The so-called forbidden area of ​​the Canghai Sect is just a common hemp rope stretched on waist-high jagged rocks, with a few red ropes tied on it, telling visitors that the road ahead is forbidden...

Du Xingyu circled the stone and walked behind the stop rope. The wide gaps on both sides were completely unprotected, making the rope in front seem more like an unnecessary decoration.

"The rope is not new," Lin Fan carefully checked the rope and the knot, and loosened his grip, "It should not be a scene specially set up for us."

Du Xingyu took two steps back and the rope began to fly wildly again.

"It's hard to say," he crossed his arms and looked up into the darkness. "They emphasized more than once that we can't come to the forbidden area, but they completely opened up all other areas. I feel like this is intentional. If my hunch is correct, they are deliberately luring us here. This place may not be a real forbidden area, but we won't find anything if we go in."

"They deliberately put out the bait here, waiting for the people inside to take the bait." Ling Yichen raised his chin slightly, "But they didn't expect that we had already split into two groups."

"The more open and innocent the Canghai Sect appears, the more I feel there is something wrong with it. Indeed, compared to the completely defenseless Canghai Sect, this forbidden area has been deliberately mentioned many times, as if hinting at my brothers and sisters. And this place has not been checked..." Lin Fan said, "I just don't know whether what awaits us here will be another false appearance of peace or a trap."

Because the Canghai Sect was so cooperative, Shen Xiuyuan and his companions had a smooth journey. The only thing left was to lift up the floor tiles and drain the pond.

Lin Fan and his three companions had originally planned to sneak in at night, investigate secretly, and cooperate with Shen Xiuyuan and his companions in both open and covert operations.

As a result of the Canghai Sect's actions, Shen Xiuyuan and his four companions were busy running around inside day and night, and they didn't need any support from outside at all.

Lin Fan and the others also thought that in this situation, it is better to stay still than to move. If they rush in, they might disrupt the layout of the Canghai Sect and affect the people inside. So they stayed outside to observe the movements of the entire Canghai Sect and monitor the people coming in and out.

After a week, even a meticulous person like Yu Sinian didn't find any problems. If they hadn't known in advance that there was indeed something wrong with the Canghai Sect, everyone would have been fooled by this "innocent" result.

"A trap?" Ao Hen sneered, "With their level, what kind of trap can they set?"

"Ah~" Du Xingyu shook his head, "After all, they have been standing for hundreds of years, so they must have some foundation. He may not dare to do anything to Changtianmen's direct disciples, but since they were told in advance that it was a forbidden area and still forced their way in, it's not their fault if they suffer a little, right? And it can also let out the frustration they have been feeling for the past few days."

There were few people in the Canghai Sect who had good acting skills, and Yu Sinian could see through them at a glance. Those people smiled and were polite, but in fact they wanted to tear them apart and make them get out immediately.

Du Xingyu naturally couldn't reveal that there might be a suspected ancient great power hidden in the Canghai Sect. If this person really existed, or was in this forbidden area...

He turned to look at Ao Hen and Ling Yichen, the two Jindan, as if he were looking at two burly thugs, and greeted them with a smile: "Two senior brothers, when we go in later, we will have to rely on you two to protect us!"
