All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Chapter 276: Settlement of Accounts

After passing the snake cave, we walked along the woods for a while and then entered the cave.

Inside the cave, you can feel the huge temperature difference between inside and outside.

A small stone staircase leads up along the cave. It is a very narrow road artificially carved out of the mountain wall.

Only one person can pass.

Before entering the cave, Xia Chan confirmed that the anti-gu powder on Xie Lin was still on his body. She then gave him some other powder that the Gu insects hated very much and smeared it on his body.

She applied this powder to prevent insect bites on all exposed parts of her body.

Even so, she did not forget to remind Xie Lin that the road up the mountain was steep and the poisonous insects could hide in any corner.

So in order to avoid being bitten by the poisonous insect invisibly, he tried not to touch anything that looked like it could be grabbed.

For example, there are handrails carved out of the mountain wall on the side of the steps.

This kind of place is often on the top of a person's head, and it is most likely to harbor poisonous insects.

Xie Lin understood.

"Chanchan, do you want me to carry you away?"

The mountain road was too steep, and Xie Lin was a little worried that Xia Chan would not be able to walk.

Xia Chan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm used to walking."

From childhood to adulthood, I have not been down the mountain many times, not a hundred times, but probably dozens of times.

She was familiar with this mountain path.

"That poisonous insect..."

Xie Lin was worried about this: "Will they bite you?"

Even if the poisonous insect bit Xia Chan, she would not suffer any other effects, but Xie Lin also felt that she would feel pain.

He didn't want to hurt her.

"fine."

In the eyes of those poisonous insects lurking in the dark, she is now a large-sized poisonous insect, and the king of poisons.

If they didn't want to die, they wouldn't dare to bite her.

Thinking of the Gu in her body, Xia Chan raised her head and looked at the endless wall-hanging path between the mountain walls. The smile on her lips widened.

Xia Yongyan, your time of death has come.

Can you feel it?

.........

On the mountain.

Mo Gui likes quietness, and so does Mo Yun.

So, although there are many buildings on Shenyin Mountain, there are no more than ten living people except them.

Now that Mo Gui is dead and Lin Yu, whom Xia Yongyan brought back, is also dead, there are even fewer living people on the mountain.

The entire valley seemed empty and deathly silent.

In front of a house leaning against the mountain wall below the temple, Xia Yongyan was standing side by side with a woman, looking ahead.

He had been talking in a low voice to the woman next to him.

But the woman next to him seems to be a quiet person?

No matter what he said, she didn't respond.

"Ma'am, it's time for you to speak."

Xia Yongyan looked at Lin Yu, whose face was deathly pale with a hint of blue, and a faint doting smile appeared on his face.

It was as if the person beside him was not the dead Lin Yu who had been refined into a Gu man, but a living person with his own thoughts.

But there is a difference between a Gu person and a real living person.

She wasn't breathing, wasn't able to think for herself.

The reason why she could still stand was because she was controlled by the insect.

A Gu person is a dead body that has become stiff.

It’s a bit like the zombies in the Central Plains.

It's okay to have her by my side to act as a number.

But if you want something else, it is absolutely impossible.

Just like it is now.

After Xia Yongyan finished speaking, he wanted to talk to Lin Yu, but Lin Yu would not give him any response.

Xia Yongyan: "Let my wife speak."

Xia Yongyan glanced coldly at the person standing in the corner not far away and spoke coldly.

He doesn't know how to control the poisonous insects, so the poisonous people he made were said to be made by him, but in fact they were made by other poison masters on the mountain.

Xia Yongyan was relying only on the promise Mo Gui made before she went down the mountain that when he was not there, Xia Yongyan would have the final say on all matters.

For the people on Shenyin Mountain, the archbishop has gone down the mountain, and the second bishop is in seclusion to make medicine. Then the person with the most power on the mountain is Xia Yongyan, the high priest who knows nothing about Gu.

Moreover, Mo Gui had specifically told them to listen to Xia Yongyan's words...

As soon as Xia Yongyan finished speaking, the Gu Master standing in the corner activated the Gu in Lin Yu's body.

As soon as Lin Yu's stiff mouth opened, a melodious bone flute sound was heard.

Lin Yu opened his mouth, his head stiff, and turned back at an absolutely strange angle with a crackling sound.

Xia Chan, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with one hand hanging down and the other holding a emerald green bone flute, walked over from the corridor with a faint smile between her brows.

"Holy Messenger?"

When the Gu Master saw Xia Chan, he came forward to pay his respects without saying a word.

"Your subordinate greets the Holy Envoy."

Xia Chan curled the corners of his lips and asked the kneeling person to stand up.

"You go down first, I need to take care of some personal matters."

While speaking, her eyes were always on Xia Yongyan opposite her.

Obviously, the personal matter she had to deal with was also related to Xia Yongyan.

The Gu Master who was asked to leave first by her looked up at Xia Chan and then at Xia Yongyan.

Worried that Xia Chan didn't know the bishop's order, she explained the situation softly, "Holy Envoy, before the archbishop left the mountain, he said that all matters on the mountain must be handled by Priest Xia."

"Oh, I see?"

Xia Chan nodded seriously, and then asked, "Then why did my master tell me before he died that I must kill this fake priest no matter what?"

"What? Before the Archbishop's death?"

The Gu Master looked terrified.

Your Excellency the Bishop... on his deathbed... what is going on?

Xia Chan showed a rare sadness on her face. "My master was ambushed by villains right after he came down the mountain. They set a trap for him. He had no way to escape."

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes and sobbed softly, making up a story about Mo Gui going down the mountain, being betrayed by a traitor and killed, and before she died she desperately asked Ying Po to send her a letter, asking her to return to the mountain and kill Xia Yongyan.

The Gu Master who listened to Xia Chan's words...

They never dreamed that their bishop, the archbishop with unparalleled witchcraft skills, would die outside like this...

It is also because Mo Gui has always liked being alone, no matter where she goes, she doesn't like to reveal her whereabouts to other people.

So the people on the mountain knew that Mo Gui had gone down the mountain.

But I don't know where he went.

This also gave Xia Chan an excellent opportunity to make up a story.

Not to mention that she grew up in this mountain, everyone in the mountain believes her.

Even if we take a step back and say that since Xia Chan is Mo Gui's only disciple, she has always treated Mo Gui with respect as if she were her own father.

Because of this, she told such a huge lie. Except for Xia Yongyan who knew that the truth was definitely not like that, everyone else believed Xia Chan very much.

The Gu Master raised her head and looked at Xia Yongyan's face. Her expression was already filled with anger and hatred.

"Why would you cooperate with outsiders? To kill the Archbishop?"

"Isn't the Archbishop good enough to you? You are such a heartless person!"
